HENLEY ON THAMES, Eng

School helped denude Great Brit
ain of a bundle of fancy hardware
by winning the senior and Junior
crew races in today's Royal Hen
ley Regatta.
Two other championships went
to Denmark and one to Belgium,
leaving Britain only five titles in
the 10-event river carnival.
Harvard maintained it's spot
less record of never having been
beaten In the three times it has
sent crews across the Atlantic for
the century, -old regatta.
Crimson crews carried home the
Grand Challenge Cup previously
in 1914 and 1899. Both times
they kept the huge silver mug five
years during wartime blackouts.

It was Holland-American final
in the Grand Cup. with Harvard
a length and a quarter in front
of the Njord Rowing Club crew
of Leiden University.
A brisk head wind blew straight
down the one-mile 550-yard up
stream course and the times were
poor all day. The American boat
finished in 1888 seconds slow
er than the record set last year
by a British crew.
Stroked by Louis McCagg of
Boston. Harvard kept just in front
of the Dutch boat all the way and
then spurted on the home stretch
to win going away.
Kent's victory in the Thames
Challenge Cup was it's fourth since
the Kent, Conn, prep school first
won it in 1888. 1t was the second
time American crews had cleaned
up in both the Grand and Thames
events. Harvard and Tabor Acad-
emy did the trick in 1889.
Kent Leads Throughout.
Kent's triumph was at the ex-
pense of the Thames Rowing
Club. The Connecticut school
churned up the river in front all
the way. Stroked by Jimmy
Thompson of Brookville, N. Y, the
winner crossed the finish line 21a
lengths ahead. Kent's time
was 1874.
Danish boatmen won the dou-
BILE sculls and the Stewards Chal-
lenge Cup for four. Belgium

agents in front of an Eastside
tavern last night.

Mrs. Mason P. Harper, wife of
the tavern owner, was standing
about 6 feet from Shelton and
said she heard an agent say
Come on, fella, it's all over"
That's what you think" Shell
ton replied and reached for an
automatic stuck in his belt.
Both agents fired and Shelton
collapsed on the sidewalk before
he could shoot.
Despite the two bullet wounds
he was able to drink a bottle of
beer and smoke a cigarette be-
fore the ambulance arrived.
Located on Routine Check.
Harvey G. Foster. agent in

BUSHEL, NOT ACREAGE
ALLOTMENT

I SEE YOUR paper is still in
terested in farm programs and
few farmers have voiced their dis
approval of the acreage program.
have not yet heard one that
would not rather have the bushel
allotment. My acreage allotment is
265 acres wheat (wheat acreage was
1859. From 265 acres / might raise
1000 bushels. Some years the seed
is lost.
l would much rather have 5000
bushels allotted to me to sell at
parity price and no acreage control
so 1 could do my own planning for
lean years. The acreage allotment
is a bad evil.
There would also be an open MARI
ket. When the market price reached
the parity price we would need no
control. The farmer could join or
not as he pleased under this pro-
gram.
The allotment should be based on
size of family and local average
bushel cost, the differential pay
ment between the open market and
parity on the allotted bushels to be
made in the county where allot-
ment is made. If a producers crops
failed him and he had no surplus,
he could fill his quota otherwise.
Conservation could be included in
this program. 1 wonder what you
farmers think of this program? Is
it worth few words, so your neigh
bors know what you want?-J. r..
