NEWS REVIEW OF

Farmers of United States at
Last Get Together for
Mutual Benefit.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD
tp:OR the first time in history the
*■ farmers of all sections of the
United States are getting together to
work for their mutual benefit. Wheat
growers, c6rn growera, cotton plant-
era and live stock raisers, numbering
more than two millions, decided at
the meeting of the American Institute
•of Co-operatives in Baton Rouge to
create a national chamber of agri-
cultural co-operatives with headquar-
ters in Washington. This organization,
which is expected to be the strongest
wf its kind In the world, will be ready
to function almost immediately and
Its officers will represent the nation’s
before congressional commit-
in alt ways act for them in
public matters.
This action follows closely on the
formation of a committee of leaders
.farmer co-operative groups for the
of organizing the producer-
320,000,000 grain marketing cor-
proposed by the new federal
farm board. The members of this
committee are now conferring with
their respective groups and conduct-
ing a drive for membership. They
meet again in Chicago August 20 and
*»n thereafter will be in Washington

In the “farmers’ revolt” at
k ^Republican national convention

officially named the Farmers’ Na-
Grain corporation.
j**w the meetiug in Baton Rouge,
Chairman Legge of the federal farm
board set forth bis views of the prob-
lem of rehabilitating American agri-
culture, and iiis outline of the board’s
program was approved by the other
members. Mr. Legge made It plain
that the only farmers’ organizations
will receive financial help from
■the board are those that are efficiently
organized and properly administered
within the provisions of the law. The
&lnd of co-operative organization he
lias in mind is one that will exert a
real influence as a stabilizing agency
1b the marketing of the products of
the more than 6,000,000 farms, an or-
ganization that will exert, as he put
It, “at least a measurable degree of
■control” over the flow of those prod-
ucts to the markets and an agency
•virtually in control of the condition
tinder which the products of Anieri
can farmers are sold. The board, he
emphasized, never will buy or sell
any commodity.
President Hoover completed the
membership of the farm board by
naming Samuel R. McKelvte, former
governor of Nebraska, to represent the
wheat growers. Mr. McKelvie accepted
the appointment with the understand-
ing that be may withdraw at the end
of one year. He is the owner of the
Nebraska Farmer and was indorsed
by a large number of farm organiza-
tions, and Mr. Hoover chose him for
the place after the different wheat
gruiips were unable to uni** upon a

to Italy to succeed Henry F. Fletcher
wbe Is retiring from the service and

rett has had nearly twenty years of
service In the diplomatic corp* and
or tier foreign service. He was flrst

na-
tional 'Wtnmaridf'T oFthe American Le-
gion. In a reply to Mr. McNutt the
President says he is relying on the
agreement between the United States
and Great Britain looking to complete
equality iu the strength of their
navies. He describes the agreement
as “the first step of the renewed con-
sideration of reduction of the exces-
sive world naval armament” and holds
it to be “a forward step of the first
importance,” reiterating his position
that defense Is all that the United
States is seeking.
r\RASTIC economies in the Ameri-
U can military establishment are
contemplated by President Hoover,
and he has ordered a general staff
survey of army expenditures. He ex-
pects a report with recommendations
iu time for the aabmlssion of an econ-
omy budget at the next regular ses-
sion of congress. Branches of the
military establishment, especially the
cavalry and the coast artillery, were
alarmed and at once began marshal-
ing arguments in their behalf. Out-
side the army the opinion was that
the President’s move was a threat es-
pecially against the many “political”
posts that are of no military value
and are maintained at great expense
through the Influence of congressmen
and politicians of the districts or
states in which they are located.
Senator Bingham of Connecticut
said: “At least 50 of the garrisons
which the taxpayers are now called
upon to maintain are not needed for
national defense and have no military
value. The army is considering the
establishment of three large divisions
East, South and Far West—and the
limitation of army posts to a few, well
planned and chosen because of the
proximity to divisional headquarters
as well as their availability for train-
ing large units of the service together,
would be not only economy but sound
military practice.
“Of course the infantry school at
Fort Benning, Ga., the general service
schools at Fort Leavenworth and sim-
ilar projects should be'maintained, but
there are forts and posts all over the
country that should be abandoned, the
property on which they are located
should be sold, and the proceeds ap-
plied elsewhere in the service.”
T OSS of the Lamport and Holt liner
L> vestris with 112 lives last No-
vember off the American coast was
due in part to overloading, according
to the findings of the British board of
trade which conducted a long and
thorough inquiry. Other contributory
causes wrere the “tender” condition of
the ship; her Insufficient margin of
stability and reserve of buoyancy; the
heavy weather encountered, and wa-
ter finding its way Into the lower
bunkers. Some of the company's
agents in New York and several of
the ship's officers came in for varying
degrees of blame.
ca. It states emphatically that no
part of the territory covered in the
general treaty shall be ceded to a
third power, which seems to put an
end to Bolivia’s strong hopes of gain-
ing an outlet to the Pacific ocean.

ALE JACKSON and Forest
O’Brine, flying tfle Curtiss-Rob-
ertson monoplane St. Louis Robin
above St. Louis, Moi. established a
record for sustained flight that may
stand for a long time. They remained
fn the air 420 hours 2t minutes and
30 seconds, and then landed not be-
cause they or their engine was worn
out, but in order to attend the funeral
of a friend, another aviator, who was
killed In a crash. They made 77 con-
tacts with another plane, 47 of which
were for refueling, and they flew ap-
proximately 25,200 miles, or about the
distance around the world at the
equator. The two pilots earned more
than $42,500 by their exploit. The flight
was especially a triumph for the mo-
tor, a six-cylinder air-cooled radial
type engine designed by Arthur Nutt.
After being feted In St. Louis, Jack-
son and O’Brine started on a- tonr of
the country in their record-breaking
plane, following about the same route
taken by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
two years ago.
An endurance flight started' at Min-
neapolis ended in the crashing of the
plane and the death of the pilots,
Owen Haughland and Capt. Preston
L. Crichton. They had been up 154
hours. Lieut. Harold Bromley, intend-
ing a nonstop flight from Tacoma,
Wash., to Tokyo, came to grief as his
monoplane slid down the runway and
turned over on Its right wing and was
smashed. He promised to make an-
other start as soon as he could get
another plane. Roger Q. Williams and
T-ewls Yancey, the New York-to-Rome
flyers, after being entertained in New
York, flew to Chicago, Yancey's home
city, where they were given a great
reception and banquet under the aus-
pices of the Chicago Press club.

H EPRESENT.V'iVES of Soviet Rua-
g7a an(j China began negotiations
for settlement of the Manchurian
quarrel, meeting on a train placed on
the border line near Manchouli. The
Chinese emissaries were said to have
indicated a willingness to restore the
Chinese Eastern railway to its “statns
quo ante” provided that Russia fur-
nishes guarantees to refrain from
Communist propaganda in Manchuria.
Continued unrest along the Man-
churian border, blamed largely on the
“White" Russians, led the Soviet gov-
ernment to o;Cer out all the Siberian
reserves up to the age of twenty-seven
years. They were assembled at Khav-
araovsk, Vladivostok and Chita.
LJALF a million cotton mill workers
A -A of England went on strike rather
than accept a 12l,i per q,ent reduction
of wages proposed by the employers.
Consequently practically all the mills
of the Lancashire region were closed,
to the consternation of the nation.
The operators refused to yield and the
weavers and spinners would not listen
to talk of negotiations, so It seemed
the dispute was likely to be long
drawn out. The minister of labor,
who Is Miss Margaret Bondfleld, says
there Is no action her department can
helpfully take at present.
HILK and Pern have signed a pro-
VJ tocot complementary to the gen-
eral treaty concerning Tacna and Art-
convicts In
York state,
made a desperate attempt to gain
their freedom, battling the guards and
police for five hours and burning down
some of the prison buildings. They
seized the arsenal and armed them-
selves with rifles, pistols and four ma-
chine guns, and the ensuing fight was
sanguinary. Two convicts were killed
and four guards were wounded. Four
of the prisoners made their escape In
the confusion. This affair, coining
only six days after the futile uprising
of the Inmates of Clinton prison, Dan-
nemora, aroused the state authorities,
and Governor Roosevelt called for a
thorough Investigation. The New York
state prisons are admittedly greatly
overcrowded, and more outbreaks are
feared.

FOURTEEN PATENTED EXCLUSIVE FEATURES
The White Star is the most up-to-the-min-
ute gas range on the market. It offers you
fourteen patented improvements that are
exclusive! Among them is every modern
idea—oven heat control, fresh air oven,
rust-proof linings, etc. You must see this
range to realize what an efficient one it
really is.
Space does not permit a detailed descrip-
tion of the fourteen exclusive features, but
we shall be glad to point them out to you
when you visit our store.
Even with these fourteen important im-
provements, the White Star is moderately
priced. It costs considerably less than oth-
er ranges of high quality that do not have
the fourteen patented advancements.
A comparison of the features and price
with those of any other quality ranges will
convince you of the supremacy of the White
Star.

POINCARE, who resigned as
premier ©f France immediately
after the parliament had ratified the
war d^ht settlements with the United
States and Great Britain, has been
succeeded by Aristide Brland, who re-
tains his portfolio of foreign minister,
and who has made almost no changes
in the cabinet. Brland's first task was
to obtain a vote of confidence for the
government's negotiations at the Inter-
national conference to put In opera-
tion the Young reparations plan,
which meeting waa scheduled for Au-
gust 6 In The Hague. The vote was
given Briand by a big majority. It
was announced In T.ondon that Prime
Minister MacDonald would not attend
the conference and that Great Britain
would be represented by Foreign Min-
ister Henderson, Chancellor of the
Exchequer Snowden and William Gra-
ham, president of the hpard of trade.
MacDonald and his government have
declared their opposition to the Young
plan as It now stands, feeling that It
Involves too nweh sacrifice of British
Interests for the benefit of Franc*.
Cleanliness Comes First m Cooking
In the preparation of food, cleanliness is of first importance. You wouldn’t think of cook-
ing without clean pots and pans, clean hands, clean foodstuffs and clean kitchen implements.
And so, too, you want a clean gas range.
The beautiful, modern White Star solves the cleaning problem. For this range is not only
easy to keep clean, but it stays clean longer. The broad shining surfaces are porcelain enam-
eled. Even the grates and burners are enameled! Inside and out, the White Star is easily
cleaned in a few minutes with only a damp rag.
