(Copyrleht by Klrigr Features Syndicate. Inc.) Inviting all the wives of con gressmen, us eiistom. orders, Mrs. Hoover invited, union1.; others, the negro wife of u ne gro congressman, Mrs. l)e Priest, to have tea in the White House. Senator lilease is not to he eongratnlated on his reference to t he incident. Ife should remember that Mrs. Hoover had arranged a series of teas at, the White House, which is public proper ty for "the wives of all con gressmen." Deliberately to strike from her list one woman whose hus band is a member of congress because she happened to he of African descent would have been to show contempt for the constitution of the United' States. Mrs. Hoover leaves that to bootleggers and their "respect able" customers. She is to be congratulated upon the fact that she does so. M Seven consecutive days of heat in New York City have killed eight, including one po liceman who died on duty. Ninety degrees plus humid ity is a dangerous temperature in Xcw York. One hundred and fifteen de grees in the dry air of the Mo tive desert, 'JiiOO feet above the Pacific, is not disagreeable. For absolutely ideal weather at this time of year, and to see what is perhaps the most beau tiful part of America, take a train to Seattle and the north west. Remember that all of the Pacific Coast is a summer re sort. A gangster or racketeer killing in these day is nothing to write much about, but what do you think of the name "Wee "Willie Doody" for a gunman and mail robber? That name interests the po lice in connection with the kill ing of a druggist. Xames like "Scarf ace Al (V pone" von can understand. Hut what did the gunman do to be called "Wee Willie?" To say charity is cold, puts it mildly. It is too late to ask the opinion of John Nelson, re cently inmate of "a home for ' old folks.".

Parker, Manager of Local Farmers Ex change, Deplores Effort To Shake Rural Confi dence In Benefits of Co operative Marketing. In answer to a request from sev eral ranchers in Jackson county interested in the farm relief hill Just passed in Washington, as well as the great public interest In the matter of cooperative farm orga nizations, Clay D. Parker, manager of the local Furiners Kxchange Co operative, delivered an interesting talk on the subject over KM Kl) last night. Mr. Parker's address was in part as follows: Fimn Relief uiul Its Relation to Farmers 'MiMrntlYc Marketing. "Now that national government has officially recognized a program the whole object of which is to aid the farmer reap the fruits of I his own industry, a great hula-1 haloo is he wig raised that the meth-j od is all wrong. Prophecies are numerous that the method of ad-1 ministering relief through farmers ; cooperative organizations will de-! feat the very aim of the hill. Thisj is a natural reaction because a! direct farmers' cooperative mar-1 keting program is bound to cause trouble for nil of the present com mercial selling and distributing agencies. "The present control of the mar keting situation us to farm products is bad; it needs correction. There is no reason who producers should ' be in a condition of actual want for life's necessities and at the same t line be paying a profit to hundreds of commercial selling or ganizations that enables them to enjoy highly satisfactory incomes. Despicable tiuirgvs Made. "Among many predictions t lint are lieing made is the despicable charge thai farm' relief adminis tered through the farmers' coop erative organizations is a gigantic scheme to further shackle the far mer In fact a scheme lo reduce the farmer to 'serfdom.' "I call your attention to one thing, and thatis the fact that prac tically none of this hue and cry of wolf Is coming from the real farmer. "The farmer is so near being a 'serf now that he is really down right glad that our national gov ernment has laid the foundation of a policy that recognizes the true worth of the farmer to our nation. Cooperative Marketing by Farmers. "What is cooperative furm mar keting '! "It Is a bunch of farmers put ting their erops together so that they can do a good job of selling and so they will get the best price. "The producer, more than any one else, is interested In getting the best price. "Farmer-owned, farmer-controlled cooperative marketing orga nizations will not and should not operate to destroy similar reliable marketing agencies. Kach one needs the other for the farmers best Interests. "In many of the highly special ized farming districts, cooperative marketing of produce and buying of supplies has been practiced for many years by farmer-owned and controlled cooperatives. All Skinned In n Hunch. "There have been many failures, some of them colossal. Hut in practically every case of failure the organization, although it may have been a so-called cooperative, was NOT a f armors' cooperative, owned and controlled by farmers. All the big failures were farmer cooperatives only to the extent that the farmers were induced to coop erate to the extent that they all got together and sinned a market ing contract with organized cap italized concerns and were all -kln tied In a hunch, instead of be ing skinned separately. These were not true farmers' co operatives. "The big source of trouble for farmers' cooperatives up lo date has been lack of capital or the means of procuring it. Mfioiei Come jo Aid. "F.very year this has been get ting worse. Our national govern ment now proposes to furnish the capital to the farmer on good se rurity at a reasonable rate of in terest and at the same time leave the control in the hands of the farmer.

W) "Wee Willie" l.loody. cup hater and des perado treading u trull parelleling the road the dashing, quick-firing "Terrible Tommy" O'Connor trod, had two more shootings to answer for today. They call him "Wee Willie" be cause of his stature; they call him "Kahy Face" because of his soft. clear complexion and the Inno cence of his expression. But the ponce and federal authorities see iiehind the child musk Chicago's most ruthless killer, most brutal unman and an incorrigible foe of men in police uniform.

An hour later a man answering Doody 's description entered the drug store of (ieorgo Denho on the northwest sldo and stole $35. When Denho tried to parley with tho man, the latter replied, "No hack talk. 1 Just shot up a joint on tho south side, and I'm In a hurry. I've killed a couple like you and don't want to knock off any more." As the robber sped away, Denho ran out und called to Police Ser geant Clarence Kalk, who was with his motorcycle across the street. Eft Ik passed tho car within a mile.
