Though public hearings are under- • • -* 'way as to an ambitious farm program observers do not expect that the plan will go beyond the talking stage at present. The wage and hour legis* lation, which has been in the departmental hatcheries for several months; will not be as extensive in scope as originally contemplated.. The curtailment is traceable to the uncertainties of the high court battle on Capitol Hill. The President has never favored the compulsory 30-hour week advocated by labor unions. He is expected to propose a minimum work week of 40 hours with time and one-half for overtime. The fair trade practices which i have been tied up "in early drafts are bothersome features which may be postponed because of inability to ex tempt smaller business from- its provi 'sions and strike at larger industrial units at the same time. I The story is current in underground channels that the Administration is condoning marked advances in the prices of essential commodities so that > nothing will interfere with its basic plan to increase the pay of workers. Unfortunately, the unchecked cost of living adds to the Woes of millions unemployed as necessities go beyond ' reach of their flattened purse.

The Federal and state re* lief authorities are faced with a problem of increasing allowances for food as commodity prices advance. Just what will happen when wage levels i reach a high point and the government moves for price reductions under threats of prosecution or special taxes is something that manufacturers and distributors have for a puzzle^ -Bates From A. D. 5*0 -SThere was an abbey at Buckfest before there was a King of England. Its origin is shrouded in the hiists of antiquity, but it was probably founded by St. Petrock, an evangelist, of Cornwall and Devon, who died about 570.

He is shown above with his heavyweight boxer, Junior Munsell, who is signed for a ten-round bout in St. Louis. Farmer Who Imitates Joseph H. A. Bronderslev, a farmer who lives in an arid region near Broadwater, Neb., and who practices biblical farming principles, is shown about to take his wife riding in their motorcycle. Like Joseph of th$ Old Testament, Mr. Bronderslev stores grains in good years to insure against bad crop years, one ph^ise of Secretary Wallace's "ever-normal granary" plan. "There's no use talking, we can't have good crops here all the time ,and I believe we should have something in reserve," he said recently. Mr. Bronderslev is not looking forward to a good year in 1937 so he will plan no extensive farming 4 operations. ~ His belief in grain storing, he said, was based on biblical authority. - Help for British Motorists wxsstr ifjur ,„j . m ;„x- , f. k V'WycX./j . ^ 'xi A tn I OUTCft ipT ^ 1 iinntfi^FUatahi 9t Teem Age TWENTY YEARS AGO Quite extensive improvements are being made on the late Fred Schnorr home on the West Side.

Both the average temperature and the extreme temperatures are lower at the South Pole. While the North Pole £5 at>sea level, there is a great land mass, 10,000 feet high and over, at the other pole, and this elevation makes for lower temperatures.
