FARM RELIEF TO BE PUSHED WashingUm (VPi Farm relief, tn tlie opinion of Senator Braokhart, republican, Iowa, will be one of the problems that the coming congress session must pass upon. Brookhart said wedneday tne agricultural marketing act had been a failure and be favored the export debenture or some similar plan of relief. He said the government already had machinery set up through the farm board which could handle the debenture plan. "I have criticized the farm board In the past," he said, "but I under stand that it is not against the ex port debenture and that opposi tion comes from higher sources." A fixed price should be paid for practically all agriculture products that are exported.' Brookhart add ed. ''This will automatically bring the domestic price up to that level. They have tried other things and have done no good. It is time lor more comprehensive plans." LEGION DEFENDS STORE BOMBING St. Clairsvllle, O.
