receipts for payments on fees,
Nobody received any returns eN-
cept the agents and the secretar-
ial help. Lawyers Booker, Shrop-
shire, Spitzburg, Woods, and Bull
lion were among those consulted
as to the legality of the scheme,
Bass said, and none said II was
illegal. On the first day Of OPP
Grafton, agents collected s4.55 and
days later when police stopped
operation the take was little
over $4,000 a day. In all, collec-
tions amounted to sl39.80 and
5000 went as prizes, He was
present only at the first two
drawings, he said.
In concluding arguments At
torney Gordon Sullivan made an
eloquent appeal to the jury not to
convict a man who was trying
to get a much needed hospital in
to the community. He questioned
whether the makers Of the law
had this sort of thing in mind
and pictured the tragedy of a
brilliant young man thrown out
of work he was prepared for
and forced to hard labor to sup
port himself. 1t is harder to raise
money from Negroes than from
whites, ne argued, and Negro
hospital is an undeniable need Of
the community. He stressed that
all approaches and agents were
in the name of the Mutual Hos
pital Association.
Attorney Holt in opening and
closing the argument for the
prosecution quoted act 200 of 80
and emphasized that all the ele-
ments of lottery were present, He
insisted that the case was import
ant. He said he thought the de-
PENDANT was a good man, that I'VE
have on trial not an individual
particularly l am trying this
case from the standpoint Of the
community" He pointed out that
the offense charged was not a
crime but a misdemeanor, infer
ring that the damage to the de-
PENDANT by conviction would not
be particularly great. Are you
going to turn this sort of thing
loose on the community" he ask

such a request should not be

When Mrs. Jenkins returned to
the school, she was denied the
privilege of entering her class
room by her principal, stating
that she had no classroom there.
Mrs Jenkins attended the funeral.
Upon returning to school for
work the next morning Mrs.
jenkins encountered a substitute
teacher in her classroom with the
explanation from Roland that he
considered Mrs. Jenkins as hav-
ing resigned, ordering her away
from school. Mrs. jenkins refusal
TO leave brought the superinten-
dent TO the scene, who being un-
able to eyict Mrs. Jenkins offiei-
ally, or legally, called police who
arrested Mrs. Jenkins, charging
'trespassing on school property"
The justice of peace, found Mrs.
jenkins guilty and assessed
fine of $500 and costs. An ap-
peal is now pending in the circuit
court OF Drew county. The next
term Of court will be held in

mo farm prices and falling farm income have
reached consumer ears and they are right
fully beginning to wonder why food prices
are not coming down inasmuch as farm IN
come has dropped some over % per cent.
For four straight months, farm prices have
declined They have dropped about to 5
per cent in first six months of this year But
that is national average and the state-by-state
picture is much grimmer and contains plenty
of political dynamite for Republicans.
In Illinois, for instance, farm prices on
livestock and its products are down ID per
cent below 1854 The same is true in Nebraska
where the figure runs as high as IL per cent.
The same is true in Iowa. In Ohio the drop
is 9 per cent and in Indiana, ID per cent.
The two Dakotas have suffered critical
drops in income.
An Associated Press story last week point
ed out that all these states elect U. S. senators
next year and COP leaders worried.
Basis of Eisenhower, Benson & Co. for
terming the current farm recession sta
tisticaI recession is that while farm in
come may be falling off, nationally, there
are SO many less farmers that the per capita
income remains quite high.
This sort of talk gives Democrats power
full political issue because farmers facing the
ragged edge of bankruptcy are wondering if
they are next to be sacrificed on the altar of
statistics
Administration spokesman are trying to
take Eisenhower off the hook by denying that
candidate Eisenhower never said any such
thing about providing farmers with full par
ity.'
But Senator Paul Douglas of Illinois has
pointed out that all voters had to do was to
read the Eisenhower speeches of 1862. He
accused the COP spokesman of trying to re-
write history'-NORTH DAKOTA UNION

/ After denying that Eisenhower had made
any campaign promises to fight for full par
ity for farmers, Eisenhower and COP leaders
are being accused of trying to 're-write" farm
history for political purposes.
Eisenhower spokesman are trying to mini
mize the gravity of the current farm problem
by calling it a Statistical recession"
But Democrats are pointing out that the
recession in agriculture is very real.
And thus the political battle for farm votes
continues to wage through the country
That the farm issue will be the No. issue
in 1956-nobody denies. Not even the Re
publicans, who would prefer to look the other
way.
Secretary Benson who has been Cooking
the other way for three years-finally had
to admit that the problem serious but
he stuck to his guns that 'the sliding scale
price support program is the right direction
toward solution. Benson is seriously consider
ing the use of direct payments to farmers for
acres taken out of production.
But few farm ngressmen-including COP
believe this is any solution. For the farmer
who has ten to a hundred thousand acres
available to take out of production, perhaps
Benson's plan will be welcome but to the
small farm family, Benson's plan is sure

A few years ago Eisenhower, Benson
