PICKARD V JARFARE between they federal farm board and business as rep- resented by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States reached its climax at the annual meeting of the chamber in Washington. Stung by bitter crit- Icism of the board's policies, Alexan- der Legge, its chairman, retored scathingly. As a member of the board he uttered a challenge to match any other member “dollar for dollar” in financing a permanent nonprofit making organization to work for betterment, a challenge that was later accepted by Julius H. Barnes, chair- man of the board of the chamber and wheat director under Herbert Hoover | during the war. | Mr. Legze indulged casm in his address, “I am sure that of you will agree that you know more about the | agricultural situation and how to meet it than I do,” he said. “A considerable percentage of your membership have made that quite clear, and perhaps the best answer I can make is the state- ment that if true, and youn really know so much about it, the sit- uation presents a very severe indict- ment of the organization which, hav- ing full information of the facts, has made so little effort to remedy the situation, “When It became apparent that a means had been provided that really would help the farmer get organized co-operatively so that he, like other producers, would have some voice in determining the sale price of his com modity, the effort was branded as gov- ernment price fixing, putting the gov- ernment in business, etc. “I do not recall in years gone by of hearing you business men making any such complaint against govern- ment ald that was extended the manufacturing Industry, to transpor- tation, and to finance.” Daniel A. Millett, an investment banker and stock man of Denver, made the chief speech in criticism of the policies of the farm board as fan- tastic attempts at stabilization with- out regard for the law of supply and demand and was loudly applauded. His own formula, “in the interest of the farmer and business man alike,” he sald was: “1. Repeal the agricultural market- ing act and cease any such govern- mental attempts, and “2. Revise our tariff downward, not upward, with its elimination, save in a few respects, as speedily as possible, as our idea.” Secretary of Agriculture Hyde, an ex-officio member of the farm board, defended its actions, and the discus- sion became general, W. C. McCabe of Duluth, represent. ing the grain exchanges and dealers, contended that the independent grain merchant cannot hope to meet the situation created by the farm board. “It 1s the ruination of his busi ness,” he said. “It is unfair and un- American, and we demand that the marketing act be modified.” Harrison Jones of Chicago sald he represented a four-billion-dollar poul- try, butter and egg merchandising in- dustry. He demanded a “policy of modification, whereby American eiti- zens may remain in business without outlawry by government interference.” The chamber, at its closing session, adopted a resolution condemning the policies of the farm board and urging repeal of provisions of the agricultur. al marketing act which authorize the use of public funds “for the purpose of participation In business in compe. tition with established agencies,” The resolution advoeated continuance of the farm board as a proper agency for gathering information and for advice and assistance toward the solution of the farmer's business problems, President Hoover, speaking at the chamber's banquet, said the country farm y freely sar- | in most this is fo bad passed through the worst of its trade slump and, with continued unity of effort, would rapidly recover, ECRETARY companied by two of his colleagues in the London conference, arrived ia Washington and were by President Hoover.

It was reported in London that the arrest of Mahatma Gandhi was imminent, although influential native leaders have urged upon Viceroy Lord Irwin the view that this step would render the situation much graver. They thought a reapproachment might be reached If both sides retraced their steps. Lord Irwin replied that “as long as the law Is openly defied, neither the viceroy nor his government can do anything but resist its subvérsion by whatever means may be in their pow- er and in whatever way may seem appropriate.” Meanwhile the clashes between the natives and the police and troops are becoming more numerous and a num- ber of deaths have resulted. Despite the censorship, rumors have come of the virtual mutiny of some of the Sikh troops. Two platoons of the Eighteenth Royal Garhwal Rifles re- fused to fire on a mob at Peshawar and were removed to Abbottabad. In- cidentally, the revived censorship law caused the suspension of twelve news papers in Delhi, The editors refused to put up the cash security of $18,000 which the law provides every paper must deposit as a guarantee to re frain from publication of seditious matter, Gandhi's campaign, an important feature of which is propaganda against foreign cloth, Is having Important economic effect, The cotton manufac turers of Manchester are especially concerned.

Theatrical companies gave free open air performances, and hands were everywhere. Next day the Soviet government demonstrated ts technical achievements with a parade of automobiles, motoreycles, armored motor cars, fire engines, tractors, busses and tanks, In Paris the radicals were kept from disorders by the activities of the po- lice, and in Berlin they had parades and a huge meeting but refrained from all violence, The same was true of American Cities, Japanese officials forestalled trouble by making hundreds of arrests, but the demonstrations were notable for their size and en- thusiasm.

Cleaning Frequently to Save Battery Is Urged The battery, placed out of sight in the car, collects a lot of mud and dirt, which, if not cleaned off, will do a needless amount of harm. The spray which the battery gives off in charg. ing, condenses on the top of the bat- teries, causing a mud to form. This provides a path for the current to flow and the battery loses a certain percentage of Its charging current when the generator Is working, and will also discharge when Idle. When the top of the battery is cleaned, all surplus acid or water which has been spilled on the top of the battery may be removed, thus preventing discharge or leakage of current from this cause, or leakage of the current from this rause, . 0 Q QOVOQOCOOOOUOOO0V000000000 OO - 0000000000000 000000000000000000000000 00000000000 0 OOOO QOOVOV00O00V00 000 Many Windshield Wipers Bothersome by Slipping \lany WR ield of hE * winds? wipers ie nen 1 ia 1 by slip into the line of vision A 1 positive Drill a one« ols nd ft sass and Ot a VINDSHIELD WIPER wip Ider iz {1 nch hole rt screw DRILL HOLE IN GLASS ) QUTSIDE OF WINDSHIELD This suggests a practical way of keep. ing the windshield wiper out of the line of vision, and nut so that the end of the screw will project just enough to act as a retaining pin.
