Agricultural Convention at Cap
ital to Lay Report of Condi
tion Before Federal Reserve
Board atid U. S. Treasurer,
Washington. Oct. 13. (U. P.)
Farmers In session hero today adopt
ed a report demanding government
assistance to stave' off "general In
evitable bankruptcy' threatened by
falling prices.
The farmers are to lay their de
mands before Governor Harding of
the federal reserve board and Secre
tary of the Treasury Houston at a
conference at 4 p. m. today.
The demands call for a lowering of
th re-discount rate of the Federal Re
serve banks and expansion of credits.
The report was prepared by a com
mittee representing farmers from many
states, both In the wheat and cotton
belts. In convention here at the call of
the National Board of Farm Organisa
tions. PRICE DECLINE SCORED
The report scores Secretary Houston
and other government officials for an
nouncing a price decline is In progress,
which, the report said, caused banks of
the country to restrict loans vitally
needed by farmers.
"Current market prices for farm prod
ucts are below the cost of production,"
the report read, "and unless some Im
mediate remedy be found to relieve the
situation, general bankruptcy and ruin
are Inevitable. The condition now fac
ing the agricultural interests of America
Is not confined to any one section or any
one product.
"In our judgment it Is wrong as a.
matter of policy artificially to press
down prices and it is particularly
wrong to begin with the raw com
modities. "The condition of agriculture is now
desperate. The condition of mind of
the farmer-population Is ominous. Pro
ducers of all crops have come to feel
that the hand of the government is
against them.
"It la no concern of the federal re
serve system or of the treasury depart
ment what the producers of the country
. may determine is' a fair price."

801TH FACES LOSS
The South Is facing a loss of more
than JiOO.OOO.OOfl on its cotton crop, ac
cording to J. J. Brown, agricultural com
missioner of Georgia. Wheat growers
of the West and Central West are face
to face with a .similar probable loss due
to the fall In the price of wheat, ac
sording to John Tromble, Belolt, Kan.
Wheat sold at an average price of
12.14 a bushel October 1, according to
the agricultural department reports.
Cotton Is now selling at 21 cents a
pound.
"It costs 38.1 cents a pound to pro
jure It," said Commissioner Brown.
"We're going to lose $50 on every bale
we sell at 21 cents. The crop this year
will run- more than 11,000.000 bales.
-'-To produce wheat costs $2.77 a
bushel," said Tromble. "A price of $2.14
therefore represents a los of 63 cents per
bushel."
FARMERS' PLEA IS DENIED;
LEAGUE THEIR ONLY HOPE
Washington, Oct. 1J. (I. N. a) The
federal reserve board will not change its
policy' to provide greater extension of
credit to the farmers, as requested by
a conference of farmers here with the
National Board of Farm Organisations,
according to Senator Lee S. Overman of
North Carolina.
Senator Overman made this statement
following a conference with Governor
Harding of the federal reserve board. He
stated that he had been assured by Gov
ernor Harding that there can be no
rhange of policy for the benefit of the
farmers.
The federal reserve board of the treas
ury cannot change policies, said Senator
Overman. "These farmers are all wrong
in this thing. There Is no deflation of
prices. What Is the solution of the sit
uation? A League of Nations of some
sort The only hope of the farmers is
stabilisation of currency and this can
come only through a league."

IS
San Francisco Oct. 13. Mrs. Glad
Kimball Warburton, who was re
moved last week as state prohibition
director, today received a telegram
from Washington appointing her to
Hhile-;iBairerTr,Kent of
prohibition for California,"
"It is a justification for me and is
proof that Washington officials have not
been hoodwinked by what bas been done
and said in California," Mrs. Warburton
declared.
John L. Consldlne, who succeeded Mra
Warburton as prohibition director, how
ever, said that the appointment meant
nothing as far as authority Is con
cerned. Just what Mrs. Warburton's duties
will be seemed unclear at the federal
building. The position, it was pointed
out. is newly created.
Mrs. Warturton's appointment created
wide interest. Only last night she ar
rived back in San Francisco after aban
doning her proposed trip to Washing
ton, where she had said she would "tell
all she knew about prohibition in Cali
fornia." Mrs. Warburton, en route to Wash
ington to "defend herself,"- retraced her
steps when she saw published charges
that she had left her office without
leave and that Important records were
missing from her files. These charges,
made by federal officials, were denied
by Mrs. Warburton, who - in turn de
clared warfare on the "federal brigade."
She declared her intention of going
before the grand Jury which convened
today and "tell the whole story."
Mrs. Warburton charged that many
permits on which liquor has been se
cured are forgeries. She revealed also
the seiture of 88 bottles of fine imported
liquor trom the private car of D. C.
Jackling, millionaire, and charged that
22 of the 88 bottles had disappeared en

Regarding Antelope
And Irve Cobb Hunt
Norman Jacobson, formerly supervisor
of the Deschutes national forest, who
accompanied Irvin S. Cobb on his hunt

tn kill three antelope for scientific pur
poses, today maintained a deep silence
on all phases of the antelope "hunt."
Jacobson is in Portland and when
questioned as to the outcome of the hunt
refused all comment
First reports that permits to kill, an
telope had been issued to the party were
later corrected by the state game war
den, that Jacobson only carried a per
mit, it being made out to him as su
pervisor of the Deschutes national for
est which he no longer Was, to kill three
antelope for scientific purposes, one to
go to the Smithsonian institution and
two to' be added to the exhibit of the
state game commission.
It is understood from other sources
that the party killed two antelope,
neither of which was full grown, that
the horns were short and the animals
were not much more than fawns and not
very desirable' for exhibit purposes.
Jacobson refused to discuss the report

SUGAR IS ASKED
Dry Wine for
Home Use Is
Approved by
Revenue Agent
San Francisco,. Oct. 1J. -(U. P.)
Manufacture of dry wines and cider
in the home for home use without
regard to alcoholic content, was
sanctioned today by Justus Warden,
collector of .internal revenue for this
district.
Wardell made public instructions from
Washington which he accepts as an of
ficial Interpretation of certain provisions
of the prohibition act and under which
heads of families may, upon making
proper declaration, manufacture up to
00 gallons of dry wine. This construc
tion of the dry law Is regarded by rev
enue Officers as being Intended to per
mit the foreign element to continue their
old country practices without molesta
tion.
Under the ruling the home manufac
turer also is exempted from any fed
eral tax on up to 200 gallons.
In spite of the ruling, it .Is believed
making of wines In hemes will not be
come as general as In pre-prohibitlon
days because wine grapes, which then
could be purchased for as little as 9
a ton, now cost from $140 to 1155 a ton.
NOT SO IN WASHINGTON,
DECLARES FEDERAL AGENT
Tacoma, Wash., Oct 13. (U. P.)
'That may be fine in California, but it
won't do In Washington."
This was the statement of Federal
Prohibition Director Donald A. McDonald
here today when informed that Justus
Wardell, Internal revenue collector of
the California district, had ruled home
manufacture of dry wines up to 200
gallons Is permissible under the dry law.
"We have received no instructions
from Washington about permitting home
manufacture of dry wines." he said.
"But Washington state has a dry 'law
that prohibits the making of all alcoholic
liquors. Although the federal law may
permit a little wine making in homes,
the state law most emphatically denies
citizens of this state that right. People
who make wine are liable to arrest by
county and city officers."
ARRESTS WILL CONTINUE
IN OREGON DECLARES SMITH
"We shall go ahead and make arrests
as usual in all cases of home manu
facture of alcoholic beverages," today
declared Johnson S. Smith, prohibition
director for Oregon. "We have received
no interpretation of the national law that
would justify us in letting down the bars
to home manufacture."
Regardless of the national law's Inter
pretation. Smith continued, the stats
prohibition law forbids such manufacture
and kitchen Vintners would face prosecu
tion even had the national prohibition
amendment and the Volstead act never
been passed.
INTO TENNESSEE
By George R. Holmes
En Route With Senator Harding,
Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 13. (I. N.
S.) Senator Warren G. Harding car
ried the gospel of Republicanism
and opposition to the Paris League
of Nations into "enemy" territory
today.
Not since the days of reconstruction
has Tennessee given an electoral vote to
the Republican candidate for president,
but this year the O. O. P. chieftains
figure the state to be the weak link in
the Democratic southern chain.
Senator Harding's special train ar
rived at Chattanooga at 8 :15 o'clock
this morning. A reception committee.
headed by Henry Clay Evans, former
consul general to London, met the Hard
ing party at 9 a. m.. and from the train
a sightseeing trip by motor was begun.
which was to occupy most of the day.
Senator Harding's itinerary for this
ftve day Invasion of the border states
has been revamped several times, so
that in addition to the four big set
speeches originally provided for, at
Chattanooga. Louisville, Indianapolis
and St Louis, he will make at least two
dozen short talks from the rear platform
in cities in Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri,
Illinois and Ohio, before getting back to
Marlon next Sunday.
Marines Kill 3250
Haitien Bandits in
5 Years' Operations
Washington, Oct 13. (U. P.) Bandits
killed by the United States marines and
Haitien police during the American oc
cupation of Haiti for the last five years
total J 250, according to the report of
General Barnett, former commandant of
the marine corps.
Barnett's reports cover the period of
occupation from July IS, 1915, when the
marines were landed, to June 30, 1920.
During this period one officer and 12
enlisted men of the marines were killed,
while two officers and 26 men were
wounded.
"While the total number of killed may
seem large," Barnett said, of the Haitien
casualties, "it should be remembered
that these operations extended over a
period of five and a half years, and I
believe that without the operation by
the marines a much larger number of
natives would have been killed by the
bandits during that time."

PLANT TO COST
$1,500,000
City Council Promises to Coop
erate With Stauffer Company
in Assuring Big, Industry at
Linnton; To Make Fertilizers.
That a $1,500,000 chemical plant
for Portland, largest in the North
west, will be established here short
ly, became known today.
The Stauffer Chemical company, an
international conoern. with headquarters
at San Francisco, Is completing arrange
ments for erecting a plant at Linnton,
the site to be that of the old Columbia
Engineering company.
These facts became known when a spe
cial meeting of the city council was
called for this afternoon to hear rfpre
sentatlvjes of the company. It was made
plain that no construction would be un
dertaken unless the organisation had the
assurances of the city council that it
would not be hampered In manufactur
ing after making an Investment totaling
more than $1,500,000.
Council members declared they "were
anxious to bring such an organization to
Portland and would do all In their
power to encourage the project"
For some time the Stauffer company
has had representatives here looking
over the field and negotiating for the
site. The deal received somewhat of
a setback last week, when It was prac
tically decided to abandon plans for
Portland, In the fear that "unless they
are welcome, city, regulations might In
terfere with operation." The council to
day was prepared to correct that im
pression. A telegram from the firm at San
Francisco today assured city officials
that It would Immediately start construc
tion oi tne plant providing it had a
clear field.
Portland has recently Imported large
quantities of sulphur from the Louisiana
and Texas fields, and this city is fast
becoming known as a "sulphur port"
This Is one of the reasons the Stauffer
company desired to locate here. It will
manufacture various chemicals and fer
tilizers. GET COST JOLT
Old Jimmy Pipe Is destined to
come back real strong.
Those opposed to smoking are
likewise able to congratulate them
selves, for the price of smoking is
advancing.
Cigars of some of the leading brands
are showing an advance of about $5 per
thousand at wholesale when they are
obtainable at all. Fact of the matter
is that cigar dealers are working over
time to secure their favorite branda at
any price.
The nickel cigar of a few years ago
has for some time been selling at 8 to
10 cents each, but with the latest ad
vance, some brands of former 5-cent
sellers, will be 10 cents and others 12
cents each.
Smoking has gone up In all branches,
for with the advance In the price of
cigars, comes announcement of a rise of
about 10 cents each In most pipes.

M. Cox today, as he left hers for
another day's strenuous campaign-.
ing in Central and Northern Indi- -ana.
Cox Is enthusiastic as a result
of the reception accorded him. '
All Democratic state leaders agree '
that the party's Organisation tn this Stats

The governor's program today Includes
speeches at Delphi, Logansport. Peru,
Wabash and Fort Wayne, with many
rear platform speeches at Intermediate v
points.
A committee of Indiana women has
urged the governor that some sort of
a symbol be adopted to Indicate support
of the League of Nations. They assert
that the women of Indiana are for th
league, .not from' partisan, but from re
llgious motives, and they argue that
many women ordinarily of republican -persuasion
would be glad to display in
their windows some kind of non-par tl
san placard announcing their allegiance
to the league. Oovernor Cox has taken "
the suggestion under advisement.
Oovernor Cox la determined to con- ,
ttnue his attack upon Senator Harding
for alleged vacillation with respect to
the League of Nations.
"Harding's declaration at Des Moines,' . .
the governor said, "cost him thousands
of votes and his managers were quick
to recognise that fact That explains
his sudden chsnge of front."
From now until election Oovernor Cog . '
will continue His contention that Hard.
Ing has no fixed conviction about the
league, but la merely trying to hold the '
warring elements of the party together. ;
In this way Cox hopes to bring about
a spilt between the Borah-Johnson
"lrreconcllablea" snd the Root-Taft fae- ,
tlons which, he believes, are sincerely In
favor of the League of Nations.
Governor Cox was In good humor to.
