FRANK L, BLACK 1701 5th St, GRAIN GROWERS OF VALLEY HEAR SHUMWAtr SPEAK (Continued Prom Page One) need. Through a process of organiza tion many wheat companies which have been competing ' against each other are bound closer together, he said. As a financial aid, trie farm board, which cannot dictate the policy of the National Grain corporation, lends part of the $500,000,000 to the na tional organization for educational purposes, and the loan is of benefit to the national, the North Pacific, the local organizations and the indi vidual fanner, all , divisions of the . larger organization. For educational ' mimosas an investigation board haa been set up. Stabilization of the wheat market is the most discussed of the four, whereby governmental heads are not only trying to save the farmers but to save the whole economic structure of tho United States, which will crumble If the farmer loses out, Mr. Shumway believes. Alexander Legge, former head of the farm board, held that the mar ket could be stabilized If ail the sur plus were bought and 329 million bushels were bought but the price went down. Mr. Shumway points out that the price of other commodities also went down, although the farm beard was blamed by many for lower ing the price of wheat. However, he adds, if 320 million bushels had been dumped on the eastern market the price would have collapsed absolutely. The stabilizing corporation lost $100,- 1 000,000 out of the transaction and ! the money went back into the hands ! of the farmers. ; M..

Bower, 62, manager of the concern, 1 whose life was threatened by his two abductors unless $50,000 Is paid by noon today. First kidnaping two women motor ists, the two thugs forced them to drive to Bower's home where he and Mrs. Bower were entertaining two guests. One man rang the doorbell while the other kept Mrs. G. H. Wind bourn and Mrs. Clara Poole, whom they had kidnaped, covered with a gun. When Bower answered the door bell both thugs covered him with rc'Qlvers and forced themselves Into the house, bringing the two women. "All of you lie on the floor." one of the men ordered. Neither of the men apparently knew Bower, because one of them asked which was he. When Bower answered from his place on the floor, the leader, replied: "You're1 the bird we're;' after. Get up." t "We're taking you with us and we expect to get $50,000 by noon tomor row. If any of you tell the news papers or the police it will be just too bad." They then Instructed Mrs. Bower to have Stephen Knight, president of the bakery, at the Bower home at noon today witli $50,000 in cash. Fail ure, they said, would result in Bow er's death. On the night of January 9. four armed thugs Invaded the home of C. H. 12. Alexander, cashier of the company, and three of the men took Alexander to the bakery while a fourth, watched over hts daughter and wife. The three men forced tho cashier to""open the safe and give them SSS6. Alexander was held up and slugged July 3 and $1,200" was taken from the safe. The thugs last night boasted of both jobs.
