fchort period of fame announces
> fehe will retire from the stage and
settle on a farm.
C. R. Klose of Rio Hondo thinks

Surely our wonderful climate and
fertile soil will meet the desires of
this young woman for a quiet and
peaceful life.

nouncement of Miss Talley’s in-
tention to retire to a farm we read
a fine article on Valley climate”
writes Mr. Klose. “We should com-
pete with the east and middle west
for Miss Talley’s presence. It
might be a great ad.”

FARM BOARD
TO SUGGEST
FARMER AID
Foundation For Bill
Of Relief Already
Worked Out In Com-
mittee Room
WASHINGTON. April 15.—(&—
The new farm bill drafted by the
house agriculture committee with
the view of setting forth a basic
agricultural relief program for the
Hoover administration was intro-
duced in the house today and im-
mediately referred back to that
committee by Speaker Longworth
for the formality of official ap-
proval.
WASHINGTON. April 15.—(JF)—
The task of lifting agriculture from
the post war depression called con-
gress together today for its first
special session since President
Harding sought to enact ship sub-
sidy legislation in 1922.
While not even the most opti-
mistic contend any single piece of
legislation will automatically bring
prosperity to the farmers over-
night. the plotting out of the foun-
dation on which that objective is to
be attempted has been fairly well
accomplished.
It has been decided to create a
federal farm board intended to con-
cern itself intimately with prob-
lems of the farm and to suggest
what it considers the best method
of bringing about a more prosper-
ous rural situation.
At the same time it is setting out
basic principles the board would be
expected to call upon the farmers
organization to cooperate in put-
ting these principles into op-
eration. Some of the tasks the
organizations might be called upon

UNDER FIRE

‘Red Hot’ Testimony

of wilfully permitting convicts to
escape against C. A. Thompson
guard at the Wynne prison farm

was being made the ‘goat” in the es-
cape of Bob Silver and four other
convicts Friday night Thompson
said he proposed to go oefore the
Walker county grand jury this aft-
ernoon and tell what he knew about
“prison conditions.”
“I did not tell Warden Harrell or
anybody else I saw the men escap-
ing and was too chicken-hearted to
shoot” Thompson declared. “I have
not even seen Harrell since the
break and I did not see the men es-
cape.”
The guard who was discharged
immediately after Silver and his
companions cut their way from the
tubercular ward of the prison farm
said there was a blinding rain at
the time of the break and he be-
lieved he was trying to light a lan-
tern at the exact moment the men
went through the fence.
Marvin Azbell one of Silver’s
confederates was recaptured yester-
day at Hempstead in Waller coun-
ty as he attempted to board a
freight train. He was returned to
prison last night. K. E. Brewer was

3 loaded with soldiers members of
the 12th cavalry and machine guns
being rushed here from Fort Ring-
gold and the arming of many of
the residents of this section in pre-
paartion to repell a foreign invasion.

report had gained wide circulation
revealed that the so-called bandits
were 48 men said to be employed
on a huge landclearing project
across the Rio Grande south of here
who had crossed the river.

are said to have swam back across
the Rio Grande as badly frightened
as some of the citizens who had vi-
sioned a bandit raid.

Dohrn received a telephone call.
“Bandits are raiding the Abram
postoffice” a feminine voice trem-
bling with fear said. “There are
about 75 of them and they are heav-
ily armed” she added.
Mayor Dohrn called Col. Herbert
E. Taylor 12th cavalry command-
ing officer at Fort Ringgold and
related to him what he had heard.
At 11:45 p. m. five large army
trucks loaded with heavily armed
soldiers and machine guns rolled
into Mission led by Coolnel Taylor.
Before the trucks arrived further
investigation had disclosed that the
report was greatly exaggerated and
that possibly it was entirely untrue.
Colonel Taylor Mayor Dohrn and
D. D. Holmes city marshal drove
south and learned the true state
of affairs. The soldiers returned
to Ringgold without going nearer
the border than Mission.
“This is the safest sector of the
Mexican border and there is abso-
lutely no danger of raids” P E.
Seffel United States marshal said
here this morning.

Geneva today President Loudon in
his address urging delegates to hast-

He urged the delegates to take
up the Russian plan for partial dis-
armament and the general proposal
for publicity as well as the ques-
tion of limitation of stocks of war
material together with unsettled
points in the draft convention.
These unsettled points he explained
included chemical warfare air ar-
maments naval and air effectives
land armaments naval armaments
and budgetary expenditures.
President Loudon read a lengthy
letter from Clifford B. Harmon of
Philadelphia president of the in-
ternational league of aviators sug-
gesting the organization of an air
force to keep peace in the world.

a strong protest from Lord Cushen-
dun British delegate. Lord Cushen-
dun said reading letters from in-
dividuals was open to grave objec-
tion as it would merely be an invi-
tation to countless people who "hun-
ger for publicity” to write to the
league.

what embarrassed at Lord Cushen-
dun’s remarks and said he had
read the letter because he believed
the idea extremely intersetlng.
