In the wallet was found a calling card, bearing the name Iolus Smith. Police found Smith nursing a birdshot wound in his hip. Cost of Auto Travel A travel bureau's experiments recently disclosed the cost of a 1,000- mile automobile journey averages about two and one-fifth cents a mile if the speed is kept below 45 miles an hour. At 55 miles an hour the cost jumps to three and three-tenths cents. The figures were based on gas, oil, tire and maintenance costs. It's the Man Who Pays ' Out riding with her boy friend is St. Louis, Mo., Billie Todd suddenly began to scream. Police appeared and carted Virgil Vinson, the boy friend into court, where he was fined $5 for disturbing the peace. Contritely, Miss Todd explained to the judge: "1 screamed because he wouldn't give me a kis»r" Expert Advises Adherence to Planned Crop Schedule. By Dr. V. B. WERTZ Begqrdless of whether or not the armies of the world decide on stepping up the pace of war, many American farmers are willing to try a gamble which appears to be losing proposition unless economic laws are repealed by mass hysteria, of the world's inhabitants. This: would seem apparent from facts, available to the rural economics department of Ohio State university. It may be possible that mathematics are blown out the window when wars occur bUt it is a matter of; historical record that numerals have their old values when warsr end. The farmers who are betting, their judgment against statistics are., the farmers who are abandoning their planned crop schedules to plant an unusual amount of-, wheat this fall and coming spring. These farmers give two reasons for believing that extra acres" of wheat will be profitable; first, rapid increases in grain prices occurred immediately after this War began; and second, wheat prices started upward in 1916 and continued to rise until pegged at a bonanza figure. - Such increases as may occur in grain prices are no more than tti# farmer deserves, but it is doubtful if the planting of a markedly increased acreage of wheat is the proper method to add dollars to the 1940 farm income. Several reasons present themselves for doubting that unusually large wheat harvest next year will be profitable for fts producers. The chief reason is that the granaries of the worlcFalready are bursting with the largest stocks of wheat that have been known since records were kept. The world price of wheat in Liverpool last July was the lowest on record since Queen Elizabeth ruled England. A second reason for doubting the advisability of increasing wheat acreages in the United States is that consumption of wheat does not increase in time of war although prices may rise if supplies fall to normal or below. Any unwarranted rise in wheat and ffbur prices in the United States is certain to be ; met by resistance from consumers.

COUNTY RURAL YOUTH WINS TALK FEST Soil-Erosion Is Now Nation-Wide Problem Although "man-made" soil erosion increased year by year in this country as settlers moved west, it was not until 1933 that the problem was attacked on a nationwide scale. In that year the soil erosion service, now the soil conservation service, wm organized. During the past six years, 175' demonstration areas have been established in 45 states and Puerto Rico, the service says in a current statement. Erosion control work is going forward under technical supervision of the service near more than 350 CCC camps. Hundreds of individual farms are being replanned for soil conservation in co-operation with state extension services. Over the country as a whole the soil conservation service demonstration program includes co-operative agreements with nearly 70,000 land-holders and covers more than 12 million acres of privately owned land. - - ?! it I® Deer Problem if it , f i$\r, ancesyou 5 &jU. v>x-: i - - .: r s - * ,, ^ " V5v - \s- CARY GRANT Dert in Columbia's great Howard Hawks production "HIS GIRL FRIDAY" VIS O I L drlvinq costs •"Nr-v, This top-flight player has just completed a major triumph in motion picture entertainment See it at your loctl theater rnr T A» •xc*IUnta«»ograph«4pi<at»f h H l> P Cory Grant--••HaW* lor inmlao.
