WARNED BY OFFICER
W. E. Milson Says Parents Are
Responsible for Damage
Boys with air guns were cau-
tioned Saturday by W. E. Mil-
son, assistant county juvenile of-
ficer, to be careful in their use.
Parents also were warned they
were responsible for damage
caused by their children.
"There have been several com-
plaints that small children have
been shot by boys with air guns,"
Milson said. "Some of these
cases have been accidents, but
in some, it was malicious mis-
chief.
"Parents are responsible for
any damage done by their chil-
dren and court judgments may
be obtained against them. Ma-
licious use of these toy guns
might even result in a term in
a state training school.”

Governors Disappointed As
Hoover Shifts Burden
From Government
By United Pyem.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. —
Drough relief programs were
scheduled today to begin function-
ing within 10 days.
Responsibility for the program
involving provisions of millions of
dollars in credit to harrassed
farmers, has been shifted by Pres-
ident Hoover to the governors of
the stricken states.
This relief set-up, with response
bility scattered among the states,
and merely co-ordinated hi of sad
of administered by the federal
government, is understood to have
been in line with advice of the
Federal Farm Board.
Some Disappointment.
Some governors privately ex-
| pressed disappointment at the gov-
ernment’s failure to lead in pro-
| viding of emergency funds Gov-
ernor Erickson, Dem Mont., said
he thought the federal government
should have contributed.
Governors who attended Mr.)
Hoover's- conference were home
for en- route there today to set up
their local organizations. Leaders
of three national farm erganiza-
Hops have pledged support to the
relief efforts.
No Federal Funds.
Within 10 days, the relief or-
ganizations are expected to be
operating in the various states.
There are no federal funds avail-
able for relief work. Assistance
may be given, however, thru ad-
vances of federal rood building
funds to states which comply with
legal requirements for allocation.
Gov. Reed, Rep. Kan., said
Chairman Legge of the Farm
Board had assured him a credit
project for $5,000,000 to $6,000/
000, to carry 1,000,000 head of
cattle could be consummated pre-
vided the Kansas livestock Indus-
try came, to agreement with the
board.
