agreements hsd been received, snd
thst A limited amount of Blue Eagle
insignia was now on hand. The first
shipment of the sgrsements was In
sufficient to supply the demand In
La Orande.
Oen. Johnson's Statement in Wash
Ington today, brought to La Orande
by the Associated Press In the Obser
ver office,, insisted that while the
agreements eigne by retail stores and
groceries provided that no store open
less thsn S3 hours a week before July
l, could reduce the store hours at
all, the Intent was that hours ol
operation should not be curtailed In
any way. In other words, while 62
Is a set minimum. It was explained
if a store had been operating 60 or
more, It should not curtail Its time of
being open but rather should employ
more people to do the work.
That agreement is a solemn coven
ant and its purpose Is explicit,"
Johnson said. "The owners of the
stores and the customers who buy
from those stores should have but one
single purpose, which Is to carry out
-this specific provision which has to
do with re-employment through re
ducing tbe number of hours each
employe works and by keeping the
stores open as long as possible.".
roe statement proceeded:
"Insignia of the blue eale must
be withdrawn from those stores which
either collectively- or Individually
flagrantly attempt to frustrate the
'purpose of the presidential re-employment
agreement."
As to "policing", Prealdent Green,
of the American Federation of Labor,
is asking all state and city branches
or nis organization to check on those
operating under the Blue Eagle. Re.
ports of violations would be cleared
through city and state headquarters
so tne ieaeratlons national head
quarters, then be turned over to the
recovery administration for dlaclp
Unary action after Investigation.
Miss Mary Hughes, director of the
women's section of the emergency
re-empioyment campaign, announced
In Washington completion of an or
ganization In 48 states to mop house

Slave Grave Was
Inspiration For
Writing of Song
By Carl C. Cranmer
RU8HVILLE, Ohio VP) Just one
hundred years ago on July 33, 1833
Benjamin Russell Hanby was born
near the little district school where
he later scribbled on a blackboard
the words to "Darling Nellie Oray" aa
a singing exercise for his pupils.
And at nearby Pultonham lives
Mrs. T. M. Adams, now 90 years old.
believed to be the only living pupil
who attended, that school and learn
ed the words of the song from the
poet himself.
It Is her to rot ner, Oeorge S. Kalb,
84-year-old Rushvllle newspaper man.
who tells at first hand how Hanby
wrote:
"There's a low green valley on the
old Kentucky shore,
Where I've wailed many happy
hours away,
A-slttlng and a-slnglng by the little
cottage door, I
Where lived my poor Nellie Gray,
Hanby was the son of a United
Brethren minister and spent his boy
hood days playing about an old
church, which also served as a school.
and the adjacent .cemetery.
One of Hanby's playmates was
boy named Hyde.
Slave Grave Inspired Him
According to Kalb, It was the grave
of a runaway slave In the old church
yard that gave Hanby ills Inspiration
for the song.
But It was not until Hanby had
moved away with his parents to Clr
clevllle, then to Westerville, Ohio, and
hod returned to Rushvllle to teach
school that he wrote the song.
He renewed his friendship with
Hyde, and the two of them were fond
of spending hours ln the old church
yard where they had played as boys.
One grave interested them in par
ticular, and Hyde, who had -learned
the story, said it was the grave of
Joe Selby a negro, alove who hart
escaped from Kentucky and had died
of pneumonia.
Selby, so he had told the little
gruup of sympathetic abolitionists
gathered about his death bed had
been in love with a slave girl by the
name of Nellie Gray on a neighboring
plantation. But her earner hod been
forced by debt to sell her to a new
owner farther south. In desperation
ho had tried to esc-d3 to Canada
w'.-erc he hoped to earu enough to
purchrse her freedom.
LeeplJ Impressed by the story,
Ifi.nby went to his ram and begun
jot'.un it down In the form of
poem. A few days latsr he wrote It
upon the school blacfroard and be
gac fetching the words and tune to
hit pupils.
It was some time later before. he
revised the song, secured a copyright
and sold it for 125.

Mexican Villain?
Sure, It's 0. K.:
This One's Villa
By Bobbin Coons
HOLLYWOOD-iPor years Hollywood
trembled at the thought of fing
pictures in which Mexican "bad men1
played heavy roles, and of' late tbe
trembling has become so violent that
the films have forsworn Mexlctin vil
lains almost entirely.
In early movies things were sim
pler. The formula for a western re
quired only an American cowboy, an
American heroine and a Mexican vil
lain, all three to be mixed thorough
ly through two reels of chasing. Mex
ican protests brought about substi
tution of different ingredients.
Villa In Celluloid
But now the "leading bad man" of
Mexico Is to reach the screen in
Hollywood, his return sanctioned by
the Mexican government. Wallace
Beery will portray the colorful leg
end that Is Francisco Villa.
It was Wallace Bmlth, novelist and
screen writer, now preparing the
screen play with O.' H. F. Garrett,
who with little difficulty obtained
tne consent of Mexican authorities
for M-Q-M to make a picture of the
life of the bandit chieftain.
Smith, artist, former newspaper
man, adventurous follower of excite
ment and enthusiast for all things
Mexican, knew villa personally, "as
well, perhaps," he says, "as ho could
be known personally."
"Even during his lifetime," Bmlth
holds, "Villa was a legend. During
years In Mexico I made a study of
him, sifted the varloits anecdotes
that are related concerning Mm. he
encouraged the spreading of many
tales himself and I think I arrived
as close to the truth about him as
one can reach the truth about a
legend."
Then The Deluge
As soon as plans fcr a Villa film
became known, Hollywood's custo
mary army of "technical experts"
besieged the studio for Jobs all of
them. It seemed, had known Villa
personally.
One, for Instance, exhibited a ring
Villa hod given him. Smith disposed
of that easily because, he says. Villa
never wore Jewelry, and at the time
of the supposed gift was not In the
region where It was said to have
been made.
Another Insisted he was Villa's
"personal barber." But Smith knew
that VUla had no personal barber.
and says that a simple ruse so twist
ed the barber's story that he retreat
ed blushing.
Smith, the artist, has drawn a set
