1630. But the gains ot tne past three
jean have almost offset the losses
of the previous twenty, and experts
predict the 1910 high will soon be
passed. Also there are millions of
part-time workers In cultivating
truck gardens who never did so be
fore. This has meant a marked
change In . long-established buying
habits and has also added materially
to surplus stock Jams of agricultural
products coming Into Hew York
New York concerns dealing In food
and dairy products are watching Rus
sia with something more than an
academic eye. Soviet persecution of
the kulaks has led to the deliberate
destruction of half the normal quan
tity of Russian livestock and poultry.
It would take many years of inten
sive breeding to get It back to nor
mal. Meanwhile it Is expected that
Russia will have to do heavy Im
porting to make up the food deficiency.
Peter Bogdanoff. head of the Rus
sian Amtorg Trading company tn
New York, held a meeting last week
with the consuls of several European
nations at New York, to discuss pros
pects of United States recognising
Russia. He stated that recognition
was certain within the next six
months and explained the special
concessions which Moscow Is prepar
ed to make. The purpow of the meet
ing was to establish that none of
those contemplated concessions
the United States would Interfere
with American trade of the respec
tive European nations.
Mechanical ingenuity has been
spurred by the depression. An ex
ceptionally large number of patents
have been granted and applied for
fn the past two years, and a much
larger percentage than usual are filed
In the names of big corporations in
stead of penniless Inventors.
Styling Is coming in for a lot of
attention. You never think of pumps
or of heavy work socks as affected
by style, but manufacturers of these
articles have found their markets
greatly Improved by giving heed to
sightly qualities.

name of Sidney George Flagg was
convicted with Burns. They were
sentenced to a chain gang.
"I worked with Burns in the stick
ups they arrested us for," the paper
quotes Plagg as saying.
"I was convicted with him, largely
on his testimony, because he con
fessed and turned states evidence
against me.
"I got 30 to 40 years in the chain
gang and he got only eight to 13
years. Yet he planned those holdups
and got me to go (n on them with
him."
Flagg then was quoted as saying
that Burns got away through bribing
a guard with $25, without undergoing
"the full horrors of the life in the
road camps."
"There were no heroics in Bums
escape. He Just walked out.
"I -stayed. I worked In my bare
feet on the blistering rocks of the
highway, with a rusty pick-head riv
eted to the chains on my ankle. I
stayed fcr seven years, four months
and six days."
At the end of that time. In 1928,
Plagg won his pardon, the rJaper
quotes him as saying, and since then
he has "gene quietly about making a
living." He has made several voyages
on ships as an olle. fireman and
third engineer, and now lives here In
a room at the Seaman's Y M. O. A,
"That pardon cost my family 9000.
X burled my wife alter I got out.
That's another thing It cost me."

FIGHT FOR FAIR

(Continued from Page One
will be cheaper for the grower to de
stroy his crop than to ship it.
Such fight can be successful only
through a thoroughly aroused and or
gaslzed public opinion and the exer
tion of every possible influence, politi
cal, personal and financial.
. At this time an effort la being
made to obtain crop production loans
for this -valley from the regional
agricultural corporation a subsidiary
of the reconstruction finance corpo
ration and I believe that effort will
be successful to a limited extent. But
granting eves that every orchard may
obtain a loan sufficient to produce a
crop, what will be the situation of
the grower at the end of tee year, tf
his pears do not sell for enough
money to meet the transportation
charges and repay the government
loan? The outcome Is plain enough
the railroads will have the money,
and the grower will have another load
of debt hung around his neck.
This question affects every man In
Jackson csnmiy, whether fee grows
pears or not.
Bear in mind that we are not ask'
ing the raiircads to take a loss in
order to help us, out to accept
smaller PROFIT in order that we
may survive and continue to pay
them.
The point of view the policies, the
mentality of the management of the
Southern Pacific railroad are essen
tially the same now as in Collis P.
Huntington's time, and can be
changed temporarily only by an
aroused, angry, fighting public opin
ion. It has been done before and
can be dons again. As an alternative
we can be philosophical, and smile
Mind take It on the chin.
