SOUR ENDING TO
WRESTLING MATCH
Cantonwine Wins From
Harkovsky Through Use
of Ruse in Main Event.
What started out to be an A No. 1
match wound up last night with How
ard Cantonwine, Iowa heavyweight,
as the winner of two fulls out of
three, and Count Harkovsky. thrown
through a rase and taking It like a
gentleman, more thoroughly than ever
a favorite of the crowd.
For those fans who place a pre
mium on sportsmanship, the outcome
was most unsatisfactory, count Har.
kovsky displayed this quality, which
Is often almost totally lacking in
wrestling matches In the profession
al circuit, several times during the
evening.
Cantonwine won the first fall In
18 minutes and SO seconds Willi, a lot
of rough stuff, culminating In a fly
ing headlock. The Russian came dbck
and after Cantonwine found himself
In trouble several times, Ermafc final
ly pinned the lowan with a flying
headlock, that wound up with a per
fect four-point landing for his op
ponent. The four points naturally.
refer to his shoulder and hip bones.
The time was 20 minutes ana 5 sec
onds. rn the last period, both men al
ternated In taking the offensive, with
Cantonwine holding the edge. Both
were near the ropes when Canton
wine in some way managed to pat the
count on the back, and the Russian
fell for the old stuff that it was the
referee and loosed his grip. It was
easy then for Cantonwine to pin the
Russian with a further nelson and
arm scissors. There was no alterna
tive for Ray McCarroll. referee, but
to (award the match to Cantonwine.
but the crowd engaged in a healthy
outburst of boohs that left no one
In 'doubt as to the sourness of the
ending.
The semi-final, between Frank Mc
Carroll. of Boise, and ''Cliff White, of
Denver, went to McCarroll who won
thq second fall and then was awarded
thq match when White, unable to re-
cover""from a body slam, failed to
come, back for tho final round. The
fans spent most of their time In this
event thinking up wise-cracks, many
of which covered the situation quite
well. V
Th$ match was staged at the Eagles
hall, and Roy Farnom acted as ref
eree for the first event.

that a plank for the Democratic plat
form might be worked out approving
the principal of letting the people
express their views. But Raskob's
plan. Is not practicable nor Is the
principle sound.
Senator Lewis, of Illinois, Demo
cratic anti-prohibitionist, said the
prohibition position of Raskob "Is
one already adopted by "voters of Illi
nois and New Jersey."
"The Issue Mr. Raskob reproduces
already has been accepted by the
states," said Lewis. "But If he Is to
submit It he should do so to the na
tional convention. To press It on the
national committee is to press (t on
a committee that has no jurisdic
tion." Sees rontradlctory Action
The statement "Raskob insists he
wants to keep down dry-wet dissen
sion in the party but constantly
brings it to the "front" came from
Senator Sheppard, co-author of the
lath amendment. He said the chair
man's letter "deals exclusively with
prohibition when the real and fun
damental issue Is the economic con
dition of the American people.
1 "Any one could have predicted
that his questionnaire to contribu
tors to ihe 1928 campaign fund would
nave resulted as It did, because an
overwhelming majority of them are
overwhelmingly wet.
"In my Judgment the best course
Is to leave prohibition with the dis
trict and state constituencies of rep
resentatives and senators where it
belongs, and not Inject It into party
councils where it docs not belong."
Raskob Letter Published
RasUob laid his "home rule plan
for liquor control" before the na
tional committeemen In a letter mode
public this morning, three days be
fore the committee meets here to sc- j
ircir a luiivciiviuu civy. mi niuj iir uw
aroused widespread discussion.
"The plank I suggest for considera
tion," he wrote, "provides that the
Democratic members of tho United
States and house of representatives
vote In favor of a proposal (which
la really a referendum) which will
give to the people of the United
States opportunity to vote directly
on the question of whether they wish
the 18th amendment retained in the
constitution without chang or
whether they wish it modified sub
stantially as follows:
"Nothing in tho constitution of tho
United Suites shall prevent any state
from taking over completo control of
the manufacture, transportation. Im
portation and sale of . intoxicating
beverages within Its own territory
and exportation there or to such
other states, countries and territories
as do not prohibit same provided,
however, that the plan under which
that state proposes to take over such
liquor control is first approved by the
people of that state in a statewide
rctcrendum."
Raskob said he hoped the commit

refer It without action to the na

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. OP Be- j
cause onman's Ire was aroused by j
a shirker, thousands of Jobless per- ;
sons in Grand Rapids have been :
saved from charity and supplied with j
work. '
The stcry of how he was inspired
to start the "Grand Rapids relief j
system." which since has been j
adopted by several other cities, has !
Just been revealed by George W. j
Welsh. Grand Rapids' city manager ;
and a former lieutenant-governor of
Michigan. :
Welsh heard an unemployed man
boast he would not hur.t for a Job :
"because the city will tak? care of
me and tcllver my gnrceries to my j
doer even if I don't work."
"Right then." Welsh says. "I got !
my idea. I decided the unemployed
should be given a chance to earn ;
the money the city was spending to j
assist them. j
Plan Works Two Ways
"It was a two-fold program of sav-
ing the self-respect of the jobless
and giving the taxpayers something
for thetr money."
So the "Grand Rapids system" was
Introduced. Men were given Jobs on j

WASHINGTON A') The farmer's
own sudden realization of the malad
justments which affect his economic
disparity is counted upon by Secre-
lEr Mae 10 Mcuaure oac
1 to the prosperity of which it so
' -June. 1931, output of manufactured
J articles was 35 per cent smaller than
thc June, 1929. while the total crop
' acreage, which in 1930 had increased
c-5 per cent over 1929, showed no
' material reduction in 1931.
During the same time the value of
agricultural exports has declined 25
' Fer cent and the domestic demand
fallen to an extent rarely before
equalled in so short a time.
Sec Need for Readjustment
While the nature of agriculture
is such that limits the promptness
' with which farmers can readjust
prcductlon, the secretary feels that
heretofore they have not been con
1 vinced cf the urgent necessity.
Mr. Hyde says it is fundamental to
domestic recovery to understand the
j progress Europe is making toward
feeding herself.

The action by southern states to
limit the 1932 cotton acreage is seen
as evidence of realization at last
must be observed,
There Is further indication in the
I voluntary reduction in winter wheat
j acreage for 1932. in country buying
cf fewer meat animals to fatten and

"Curse of Scotland'
The story of the nine of diamonds
j is kn,,ln as "(he curse of Si-ullaiid.'
One explanation is that diamimds
imply royalty, and that every ninth
king of Sent lain! has been a curse.
Another explanation is that it cmnes
from the similarity to the arms of
the duke of Argyll, who. .hrouzlj.

sidered by some Scots to have been

Profits from the store are turned
into a relief fund to aid more per
sons. To prevent abuse of the sys
tem, scrip can be cashed only by the
prrson to whom it Is Issued.
Now City Manager Welsh can look
back on many accomplishments re
sulting from more than a year of
the "Grand Rapids system."
The city's sewer system has been
vastly Improved, flood prevention

age disposal plant has been improved
and converted Into a beauty spot,
swtmnihic Tool Installed
Parks have been beautified, re
pairs made to streets and walks- A
swimming pool, called the largest In
Michigan, has been Installed In
Richmond park.
Scores are employed on - salvage
work and on the municipal wood
pile. In addition to a host of smaller
tasks.
A double purpose Is served by the
municipal woodpile. It supplies the
jobless with fuel and is replenished
with wood from unsightly dead trees
cut frcm the river banks in the city
and nearby woods.

Wheat-Rye Hybrid
n i i n x
UeVeiOpea, IlVpVri
LONDON VF) The Cambridge uni
versity school of agriculture has an
nounced the development of a wheat
rye hybrid which. Is said, would give
a good quality of grain in relatively
poor soils at a low cost of produc
tion. The hybrid, was produced under
the supervision of Sir Rowland Bif
fen, whose "rust free" wheat, produc
ed in 1914, aroused wide interest. The '
university, said it could produce
strains of the hybrid which could be
satisfactorily cultivated on land not
ordinarily used for wheat growing.
Officials of the ministry of agricul
ture pointed out that such a hybrid
opened the possibility of using much
poor land where ordinary varieties of
wheat could not be grown.
