Appearing before the House Ways and Means Committee at the fourth day of hearings given over to agri- culture import duties, representatives of the American Farm Bureau Federation and National Grange joined in appealing for higher tariff protection on scores of com- modities. Submitting a proposal for increas- ing duties on items in sixty of the eighty sections of the farm schedule, Chester Gray, Washington repre- sentative of the American Farm Bu- reau Federation, declared it was his belief that “tariffs on raw farm crops will not necessarily increase the price over the retail counter, but will protect the American farmer from his foreign low cost produce competitor.” “If the American farmer can be protected from the competitor abroad who has the lowest cost,” Gray ar- gued, “there will be enough efficiency and competition among farmers on our farms to supply food, clothing and shelter for our people at a reas- onable price and on the basis of what we call the American standard of liv- ing, Gray contended that the “Ameri- can consumer, who is very largely a as an in- farm resident as well habitant of towns and cities, in re- troubled not with kitchen costs as the main factor in but with rent, motor costs, amusements, and vari- cent years, is the cost of living, ous other modern factors which make the family budget shrink more than! kitchen costs.” ALEMITE Hi-Pressure Greasing and Lubricating GENERAL CAR REPAIRING ee AP # ee J. F. BESECKER (CO. Dallas, Pa. Higgins’ College Inn: Rural League Clubs Start Lining Up 1929 Prospects---Beaumont, Alderson and E. Dallas Will Have Good Teams From the Hot Stove League comes the news of several: changes and strengthening of clubs that is ex- pected to make a real fight for the pennant in the Rural League this season. Ferman Wilson, holder of the East Dallas franchise has teamed | up with Idetown and-assures the fans of a much stronger club. Fritz Vol- linger, a left-handed pitcher and Leo Cummings, a catcher, who has been | in service with professional clubs will form the battery. Art Montross, at one time with the Dallas Independents will be used as a relief pitcher. Fer- man has a large roster to pick his fielding prospects from and would be unable to announce his lineup at this writing. From all indications Archie Austin has been doing his stuff at Beaumont. As we have been informed that Glen Bulford has been signed for first base while a pitcher, infielder and an out- fielder has been added to the club for 1929. With such added strength the Beaumont Club should be a top-notch- er and we wish them luck as Beau- mont is rated as one of the best base ball towns in the league. A chat with Ed, Morgan, manager of the Alderson Club, gives us en- ough news to state that his club will be in the fight from start to finish and the club winning the pennant will have to fight it out with Alderson. Manager Labar, of Dallas, seems to be satisfied. with his 1928 lineup, but would be pleased to have an extra pitcher on deck which would avoid some of last season’s trouble when the club went on the field pitcherless, In such cases Freddie Rogers was sent to the mound and usually made a good job of it, but it also made a weak spot in left field. There are also several youngsters to be given a chance, the most promising being Cecil Wilson, Elwood Elston, Dick Gebhart, Phil Anderson and Dick Evans, the latter having played with second and third class clubs before coming to Dallas. It is hard to get a line in Centre- moreland, as Manager Lasco has giv- en up his interest in the club, which makes it look as though Center may not be with us this season. Should this be the case Valley View would be glad to take up their franchise. We have not heard from’ Noxen for some time, but it can be expected we will see the Tannery boys in line when the season opens. Hunlock’s Creek and Roaring ‘Brook recently admitted to the league, have their clubs all set for the bell. Their players have all signed 1929 contracts and are awaiting for spring to open up so as to get in trim. To Confer On Voting Machine Legislation — 20 A conference for consideration of the administration enambling legisla- tion for voting machines by Senator Frank J. Harris of Pittsburgh wit] Governor Fisher. i Senator Harris, for some time has had a bill drafted incorporating his own ideas for setting up the machin- ery for making the constitutional amendment passed last November ef- fective. The measure has been given the ap- proval of the Pennsylvania Elections Association and the Philadelphia com- mittee of seventy and the sponsor hopes to have it receive the approba- tion of the Governor for the added strength his support would give it in the legislature. It will be the second enabling bill for voting machines presented thus far, Representative Albert Davis of Lackawanna having introduced a bill which was recommitted to the elec- tions committee after appearing on the calendar.
