HICKORY FLAT, Miss., (UP)
—James Mannan was watering one
of his mules in Hell Creek.
The mule suddenly raised his
head, sneezed a cquple of times,
and out from his mouth came a
ten-pound catfish.
Mannon grabbed the fish before
it got back into the water and took
it home for supper.

WASHINGTON (UP)—Ameri-
can naval experts have agreed ten-
tatively on plans calling for use
of Diesel engines In at least one
new warship.
Installation of these oil-burning
motors would mark another step
in a new naval policy designed to
match foreign improvements and
increase the effectiveness of the
U. S. fleet, while keeping within
the limitations of the disarma-
ment treaties.
Efficiency at Premium
This general policy of increas-
ed efficiency without Increase in
size is described by navy tacticians
as the substitution of “quality for
quantity” in the race for naval
supremacy. With the navies of the
world limited in size by treaties,
a permium has been placed on effi-
ciency.
The Germans were the first to
combine the new naval technique

RINGGOLD, Okla.i July 27
(UP)—Odell <fc^jer, 14, and his
brother Charles, y, sons of Mr. and
Mrs. Oscar Yeager, were drown-
ed in a tank on the John Cole
farm east of Duncan yesterday.
One was believed to have at-
tempted to rescue the other.
The bodies were recovered in
10 feet of water. Yeager is post-
master here.

United Press Staff Correspondent.
MOSCOW, (UP)—Early inctom-
plete reports from the principal
wheat areas in the Soviet Union in-
dicate the likelihood of a crop of
at least average quality. In a ,
few regions, notably the Volga
basin and Crimea, the wheat crop
promises to be unusually good.
The total area under wheat is
6.6 per cent higher than 1930. If
weather conditions remain fairly
satisfactory there is every reason
to believe the Soviets will once
more export large quantities of
wheat.
Despite the 6.6 per cent expan-
sion of wheat acreage, the Soviet
government is dissatisfied with the
planting. The plan as projected
at the beginning of the sowing
campaign has not been reached by
nearly 10 per cent.
Lower Than Planned.
For all crops the June 20 plant-
ed area was 238,000,000 acres—
some 17,000,000 more than in
1930 but nearly 5 per cent lower
than planned. The barley, oats
and corn acreages this spring were
smaller than la«t year, by 9.3, 7.3
.and 0.2 per cent respectively.
From the angle of the ordinary
Russian consumer the most
gratifying aspect of the spring
sowing this year is the large
growth of vegetable plantings.
About 5,000,000 aeres are given
over to vegetables, a rarity on the
Russian dining table. Last year’s
total is exceeded by some 70 per
cent.
In conjunction with their sharp
demand for the raw materials the
textile industry, an especially in-
tensive effort was made here this
spring to enlarge the cotton crop.
It succeeded beyond official ex-
pectations, with a total planted
area of nearly 6,000,000 acres,
which is 60 per cent more than the
1930 cotton acreage. In addition,
7,280,000 acres are planted to
flax.- With every year the Soviet
textile industry is less dependent
upon foreign imports.
The climatic variations in the
Soviet Union are so great that
the harvest is fully under way in
the south when spring planting is

You can save money by reading the Classified Ads. You
may have something you want to sell; or you may
want to buy something. Before doing either look in the
Classified Ad columns and see what they have to offer.
What a relief to know that you can find so many things
that you need on the classified page. And not only that,
but you may get a free ticket to the Palace Theatre.
There is no catch to it Every citizen of Henderson
gets a free ticket to the Palace Theatre. You may get

PITTSBURGH, (UP)—Three
hundred persons in this city are
making a good living by telling
fortunes, according to four police-
women who have just completed
an investigation of the racket.
They say 25 of these are men.
Most of the 300 call themselves
“mediums” in preference to for-
tune tellers. They use crystals
and tea leaves in helping to read
the future, although some of them
still employ cards and a few essay
to read palms. Unlike the gypsies
who used to be satisfied with 25
or 50 cents, the “mediums” charge
fees of $1 to $3 for a reading.
Some of them have built up a cir-
cle of steady customers and, de-
pression or no depression, make
$10 to $25 a day.
One of the best rackets expos-
ed was that of an old Negro
‘‘preacher” who had a “church”
in Wylie avenue, Pittsburgh’s Har-
lem. He ran a school for mediums
at his church, charging $50 for the
course—$5 down and $3 a lesson.
As a sideline he sold love potions,
rabbit foot charms, sticks for chas-
ing devils, and other equipment
Yieeded by a graduate medium
ready to set up in practice.

MULE CATCHES CATFISH
WHILE TAKING DRINK
In one ship. Their neweat cruieer
is a light fast, well protected ship,
driven by powerful Diesel engines,
which make the vessel practically
Independent of naval bases.
That American naval experts
have been working effectively
along the same lines is evidenced
in the new so-called “10,000 ton
treaty cruisers,” which have been
given heavier ftrmor, yet will have
a displacement nearer 9,000 than
10,000 tons.
It is not planned to equip these
vessels with the Diesels, which give
the German ships such a phenom-
enal cruising radius.
Diesel Economical
However, members of the Navy
General Board are said to be thor-
oughly convinced that the Diesel
engine Is desirable bacause of
economy, efficiency and low fuel
consumption, which adds greatly
to cruising range, and greater
safety factors through the absence
of vulnerable boilers.
The new aircraft carrier Ranger,
now building at Newport News,
Va., may be the first American na-
val vessel of any considerable size

—Horatio N. Atkinson III was

Atkinson was the 17-year-old
son of Norman Atkinson, former

While the creature has the body

ita feet are webbed like a goose,
and it has all the characteristics

Brown said that the fowl swims
without difficulty and takes to the

The "tasks of the government in
relation to its crops are always
twofold. First, the largest possi-
ble acreage must be obtained.
Second, the yield must be gath-
ered up for feeding the population
and for export. The collective
system makes the second function
infinitely simpler.
Collective farms like Individual
peasants, often try to retain as
much of their produce as possi-
ble. But being under government
supervision, if not outright con-
trol, they can be easily persuaded
to turn over a substantial part of
their crops. More pressure is
needed in relation to the private
farmer.
It is therefore of the greatest
importance to the government that
167,000,000 acres of the spring
area, or over 70 per cent of the
total, are in the socialized sector:
146,000,000 acres in collectivized
farms, the rest in gtite-owned
farms. Over 13,000.000 peasant
households, or 55 per cent of the
entire Soviet peasantry, were col-
lectivized by the end of June.

TOURNAMENT TENNIS
EXPENSIVE PASTIME
LONDON, (UP) — First-class
lawri tennis is a more expensive
game than the small club player
believes.
It has been revealed that at the
recent Wimbledon championship
meeting nearly 8,000 bafts were
used. Before being taken on to
court, every ball is gauged and
weighed, in order to insure per-
fection. Under normal conditions
•six new balls are used for every
set played, but in wet weather
even more are allowed, as damp-
ness tends to rob the balls of their
buoyancy, especially wi)en played
on grass courts. After their short
lif i in first-class play, they are
stacked away, to be sold cheaply
to small clubs and mediocre play-
ers.
The provision of balls at tour-
naments is the responsibility of
the promoting authorities, but it
is the player who must find bat-
