FARM SOLIDARITY
JISKED BY WALLACE
JUDITH SINGS $2,000,000
LOVE SONG OVER LOST JACK
SECURITY FOR BOTH FAKMER
AND CONSUMER IS I'RGSD
BY SECRETARY
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 4.—Thou-
eands ol farmers from Kentucky,
Tennessee and Indiana heard
Becretary of Agriculture Henry A.
■Wallace plead Saturday for a na-
tional program of "balanced abun-
dance and security for both farm-
er and consumer.”
He also asked lor “farm solidar-
ity" when a new, broad agriculture
bill is laid before the next Con-
gress.
Wallace outlined six principal
planks recommended by farm lead-
ers in a ineetmr last FVbraary,
Which he said “will serve as a
framework” for a program.
The six principles of the propos-
ed legislation:
“First, that agriculture has a|
irlght to a fair share of the national
Income.
"Second, that consumer, as well as
farmer, interests should be safe-
guarded through an ever-nonnal
granary.
“Third, that conservation of the
ttoll is vitally important to the Na-
tion.
"Fourth, that farmers ouglhl, to
be assured of security of tenure of
farms they occupy.
“Fifth, that farmers’ co-operative
movement ought to be encouraged.
"Sixth, that provisions ought to
be included in any national farm
program favoring the family-sized
farm.”

Tail Is
Found To Curve
Right And Left
Salvation Army
Chief On Tour
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—'The
Agriculture Department has
straightened out that periodically
puzzling porcine problem—does the
pig’s tail curve to the right or left?
Hear ye, hear ye—it goes both
ways!
“The answer,” said J. H. Zeller of
the bureau of animal husbandry's
swine division, “is that there are
few things so consistent as the in-
consistency of the pig’s tail-curl.”
Habitually entwined in the coils
of the question, Zeller went out to
the Government's experimental
farm at Beltsville, Md.. determined
to lasso the answer.
The route of the porcine twist is
not something to be reckoned from
charts and graphs. There’s only one
course for researchers—plain tall
counting.
So—they counted.
The experiment had been con-
ducted on a small scale before but
never had approximated the one
just concluded.
The tall - tellers marched in
among 200 many-sized and devious-
ly colored pigs and took a quick but
systematic count. The result was:
Ninety-eight rights.
Ninety-eight lefts.
Four borderline cases.
So ends—the Government hopes—
this pig tale.

more than a gallon of them away.”

Mrs. Bones has more in her pan-

Doyle as soon as she divorcees her third husband, accused Judith, her-
self the ex-wife of Wrestler Gus Sonnenberg.
A total of 258 quarts of fruit and

vegetables to supply her family with

through the year. She has served
vegetables 22 limes this year.
Besides her gardening she has
made 24 garments In sewing which

The more skeptical of She unim-

ever, were waiting better proof of
the eating.
But as Lion President Dr. C. E.
Ewing cautioned Mrs. Ewing, as she
insisted on a sixth portion: “Tut,
tut, my dear, no need to give all
for science.”
When Nurse Anna Gurgart
placed the broadcast “mike” on
George Yocum's herd, 500 rad-
ical students and doctors in
Philadelphia plainly heard “stat-
ic” produced by Yocum’s i ’ood

static also was translated into
visible rays for scientific study.
Yocum, a coal miner, has been
troubled with the roar of blood
since injury by falling rock.
“The Big Bend National Park
will bring In revenue from outside
the state,” Dr. Morelock said, “and
that will mean that Texans will get
better roads paid for by motorists
from other places. Anything that
will make for the general prosperity
of the State will be worthwhile for
the individual.
Will Be State Asset
“We are interested in convincing
the people of Texas what we already
know—that a Big Bend National
Park will be a state asset and not a
local one. Very few Texas school
children ever have seen a national
park. But if we had one within our
larders parents would take them.
That would mean intra-state travel
and a better acquaintanceship be-
tween Texans.”
Dr. Morelock urged further that
the National Park Service has de-
scribed the movement “as the great-
est educational and recreational
project ever undertaken.”
The Government, he added, will
develop and maintain the ' park
once it is established. Federal of-
ficials have said they would likely
begin with $250,000 annually.
“I see the project, and I want all
Texas to see It as a constant source
of revenue and fine advertising for
our State,” Dr. Morelock declared.
Casner pointed out that the Big
Bend Park would supplement other
places of interest in the section to
provide an unparalleled combina-
tion of year-round attractions. He
called attenion to the State Park,
the McDonald Observatory in the*
Davis Mountains, Carlsbad Caverns,
Cloudcroft, N. M., and Chihuahua,
Mexico.
“All those points are near enough
to the Big Bend project to make
that entire area a vacation land to*
which all America will come," Cas-
ner said.

Creomulsion is a medicinal com-

aiding in loosening and expelling
the germ-laden phlegm.
The Medical profession has for
many years recognized the benefi-
cial effect of Beechwood Creosote in
the treatment of coughs, chest colds,
and bronchial irritations. A special
process was worked out by a chemist,

Creosote which is palatable and can
even be taken frequently and contin-
uously by both adults and children.
Creomulsion is one preparation
that goes to the very seat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel the
germ-laden phlegm. When coughs,
chest colds and bronchial troubles—
due to common colds—hang on, get
a bottle of Creomulsion from your
druggist, use it as directed and if
