The af- fair continued Tuesday and Wed- nesday evenings Letter to Mr. Snowden: Dearer DIF, =~ To Move Homes Washington.--An I number of requests from city dwellers for information on the best procedure in reestablishing themselves in small towns haw reached the Department of Agriculture in recent months. O. M. Johnson, economist of the De- partment, stated recently .in an in- terview. Meanwhile, Mr. Johnson said, the number of requests for information on moving from cities to farms is continuing at the comparatively high level established last year, but with no apparent further increase. Some time after the number of let- ters had advanced materially a vear or more ago, Department statistics showed a sharp gain in the move- ment of city residents to farms and the first gain in years in the agri- cultural population of the nation. The following additional informa- tion was given orally by Mr. John- son: The movement .from cities to farms has been ascribed largely to business depression, many city resi- dents feeling that they could at least produce much of their food supply in the country, while if they remained in the city and lost their positions there would be less to fall back on. City Dwellers in U.S. Ask Help to Small Towns The same feeling of comparative security, combined with the belief that living is cheaper in small towns probably is responsible for the ap- arent increase in interest in mov- ing to the smaller towns. Residents of the small towns usually raise small gardens and provide part of their own living in this way. The general tenor of the letters indicates that those who are think- ing of goiny to small towns are for the most part contemplating a re- turn to towns where they formerly lived and where they presumably have friends, This factor probably also is influencing them to make the change, the writers feeling that, where they are known, they will be taken care of at least as well as in the cities if an emergency should arise. Many of those who wrote for in- formation on returning to small towns, however, apparently are not in a position to return. Many lack cash to finance the move, and re- quests for information on obtaining loans from various Federal sources arg contained in the letters, These are referred by the Department to such appropriate agencies as the Federal land banks or other institu- tions which may be of aid.

The $400,000 Wood castle, jutting * plcturesquely into the waters of the Detroit river, was flooded with vari-colored lights for celebrities from more than 30 States and Canada, whose combined wealth might pay off the national debt. Back-slapping, hand-shaking and talk about fishing, boating, and everything except business or controversial subjects, created almost a din in the mammoth reception hall. More than 100 feet long and 75 wide, with ceiling extending up two stories, it resembled a large church. Julius Barnes, of the Depart- ment of Commerce, was allowed to break the no business talk rule for a few minutes late in the night, when he gave a little speech. But Carl G. Fisher for- got his Miami Beach real estate; Harvey Firestone and Frank A. _Seiberling said nothing of rub- ber; Cyrus H. K, Curtis didn't mention his Philadelphia pub- lishing, while Prince Louis Fer- dinend Von: Hohenzollern, grand- son of the former German Kals- er, went democratic and asked to be called Louis. "BACK TOMATURE MAN S ARRESTED Charged With Taking Pelican Eggs From Federal Rookery Fort Myers, Fla--From a hut of metto leaves on the shores of harlotte Harbor to a: cell in the he. sudden si- said he" had year's 'existence J ; r of eye Slasses and a set of false teeth as is only aids from civilization, As the former boiler maker and dertaker--were lumped together, the | preacher. sat 1-2. barber's chair for a * his first hair cut in 12 months, he was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Roy Larson, charged with taking pelican eggs from a Federal rookery near his camp. Larson would not reveal thé com- plainant in the case. Belvin, the officer: said, made no attempt to deny that he had frequently taken eggs from pelican nests, and declar- ed these, with eggs from other birds nests, formed one of the principal items of his diet as he eked out an existence from nature's storehouse. ( Belvin a year ago announced his intention of going into the woods along Charlotte Harbor to remai for 12 months without civilization to prove his theory that man could "go back to nature and aid from | course live." Yesterday was the end of the year, He was to have been the princi- pal speaker at a banquet last night but, having no resources, he was held in jail and said he did not know how he would be able to make bond. Wearing a grass shirt, Belvin sat in his cell and talked of his exper- ences. While he was in the woods, he said, he ate fish, wild game and birds' eggs, with occasional honey. He said he made serviceable knives and spears out of shell and bone. He trapped small game and made fish nets of grass fibre. He built a hut of palmetto leaves he declared, and dressed himself only in grass skirts and palmetto leaves tied about his waist with vine, FRANCE BUYS CATTLE The movement of 173 head of Canadian cattle, valued at over 500,000 francs, on the §.8. Mine- tonka, marks an important new development in the export of Canadian live cattle.
