UWWf
Exactly ona year ago on the 21st of October Joe Hugglns, then 8,
was stricken by sleeping sickness and went Into a coma. He has
never been conscious, since. But physicians now believe that time
may effect a cure and that he may suddenly awaken. Joe Is able
to open his eyes now, something he couldn't do a few months ago,
although he doesn't see what is going on around him. Here you
see the unconscious boy being fed with goat milk, his only food,
by Mrs. J. T. Rider. She took Joe into her Memphis, Tenn., home
when his father was unable to care for the boy.

Deputies under Sheriff li. II. Gray
today were seeking E. T. Sherwood of
Los Angeles, who yesterday secured
n license nt Kelso to wed Sylvia E.
Wilson of Seattle, in the belief Sher
wood may bo E. IS. Thomas, missing
liedondo, Cal., srhool superintendent
for whom California authorities have
been conducting an extensive search
since Tuesday night when he disap
peared. Sherwood Is thought to have been
married nt Kalnmn lost night. Offi
cers are checking this phase of the
case now. If Sherwood is Thomas and
if he was married to Miss Wilson.
California officers have said they
would wire fl warrant of arrest on a
bigamy charge.
Thomas, at first believed to be the
victim of kidnapers, was last seen ot
his home in ltedondo Monday.
Xo trace of K. It. Thomas, missing
ltedondo, Col., school superintendent,
who was thought heoded toward Eu
gene, had been found by city police
Friday, they reported. Neither police
or Earl E. Houshey, instructor at the
university, who is well acquainted
wilh Thomas, had nny clues as lo his
whereabouts.
The theory that Thomas and the
"E. T. Sherwood" who received let
ters from Eugene might be the same
person, was scouted by Bonshoy. who
declared his intimate nciiuaintoncc
wilh Thomas led him to believe that
the school superintendent would not
be capable of such nction. He had no
idea where lie might be. however, and
said he had not been in contact with
him for some time. He corresponded
with him at intervals.

Mystery Ships
Trouble Navy
SAX PEDRO, Cal.. Oct. 21. (U.R)
Slnps have been trailing the United
States battle fleet to sea during the
past fmv months, possibly with the in
lent of spying upun maneuvers, it was
learned here today.
Kavul officers, who refused lo be
(juoted, have been frankly angered by
the persistence of a number ot oil
tankers flying a foreign flag which
hnve "blundered' upun the scene of
maneuvers.
Unable to escape the prying eyes,
naval headquarters have announced
maneuvers for a certain date, and
then have gone through their exer
cises a day in advance. Only then,
it was learned, has ' the navy been
unmolested.
One "mystery ship" in particular
has followed the fleet to battle
grounds off San Clemcnte island. It
resembles a tanker, flies no flag and
is not registered nt any Pacific coast
port, officers said. It never has been
known to venture within the 12-mile
limit of United States ports.

Raise Farm Prices, Lower
Taxes And Mortgage
Renewal Favored
SPRINGFIELD. III.. Oct. Ut. VP)
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt in
a onmpaign address before a near
capacity crowd nt the big Springfield
arsenal today advanced n three-point
program for agricultural relief.
"The three great steps which we
must take," he said, ''are first, tho
federal government owes it to asrl
culture to see that it gets n fair
price for its products. That means
that the price of farm products must
bo raised above the present ruinously
low levels to which they have fallen.
"A proper ndusted tariff can do
much in this direction, hut the pres
ent tariff policies of the repnblicnn
administration have done precisely
the opposite. Pending the relief that
will be afforded by properly adjusted
tariff policy, mensures must be taken
to give the farmer immediate tariff
benefit. This means in substance a
practicable plan agreed to by agri
cultural leaders which will provide
for the -farmer ft higher- return for
cer f a i n of his cro p s. I hc t fort h
these principles which such n plan
must embody, in my Topeka speech,
and tbeso principles hnve been widely
accepted as n basic plan of action in
formulating the necessary legislative
relief.
'Second there must be lifted from
the backs of every farmer the hnvy
load of taxation which today weighs
upon him. This load Is mndc up of
