THE big city bankers don't want

works it will make the smallest
country bank as strong as the biggest
city bank. That isn't so good from
the standpoint of the big city banks.
BUT enough of banking. Let's turn
to lighter subjects.
Do you know how the standard

got its start?
Probably not..
"l CORGI! ADLER vouches for this
V version: -.-
Back in Revolutionary days, they
fired cannon by laying a train of pow
der along a board, thus making a
rudimentary sort of fuse. But the
powder burned too quickly, not al
lowing the cannoneer time enough to
get away.
So they sought ways of slowing it
down.
FIRST they tried wetting the pow
der with water, but that Idea
wasn't so good. It slowed the powder
down too much.
So next they tried alcohol, which
also wasn't so good, because It didn't
alow the powder down enough. So
they tried mixing alcohol and water
Half and half, and that was Just right.
They called this mixture 100 proof.
Alcohol and water In equal parts
has been known as "100 proof" whis
key since that time.
SPEAKING of alow powder, did you
ever hear of the fellow who used
It to bag a prairie dog?
The prairie dog, as you know, stands
upright at the mouth of his hole,
and when shot usually manages to
get Into the hole before dying.
The hunter referred to in this story
framed up a scheme.
HE loaded his gun with slow pow
der, then crept up on a prairie
dog town. His Idea was to fire at the
dog. then, the instant he fired, to
drop the gun and make a dash for
the dog. getting there about the same
time as the charge of shot.
How did the scheme work? Well, he
tells the story like this: "The instant
I fired, 1 dropped the gun and made
a grab for the prairie dog. I got the
dog all right,' but Just as I grabbed
Mm the charge of shot took me In
the seat of the pants."
Tou can take It or leave it, but
that is the way It was told to this
writer.

MONEY DISBURSED
AND DEPOSITED
AS
Clerk Short Nickel, Sheriff
Half Dollar for Three-Year
Period Minor Errors Are
Noted in Haines' Report
The audit of Jackson county II
nances and offices, was filed yester
day with the county court by L. H
Haines, public accountant of Klam
ath Palls. The audit does not sup'
port In any particular sensational
charges and vicious innuendoes hurl'
ed last spring, against the conduct
of county affairs by E. H. Fehl. coun
ty Judge, and L. A. Banks, then local
agitator, and running mat of Pehl.
The audit is a refutation of the
pair's accusations.
The opening paragraph of the 153
page report reads:
"I hereby certify that in my opin
ion, with the exception of minor er
ror?, discrepancies, and omissions re
ported hereinafter, all monies collect
ed during the three years ending
December 81, 1932 for taxes, fines,
and ball forfeitures, fees, licenses,
amounts due from other governmen
tal units, and other Incomes have
been deposited with the county treas
urer, in accordance with statues in
effect, and have been disbursed on
authorized vouchers, or remain on
hand."
Auditor Haines further stated. "In
my opinion, the discrepancies found
are no different than those to be
found In any other counties, and not
as bad as In many."
Auditor Haines further said the
"errors, discrepancies, and omissIons"
were "clerical errors." such as ap
pear In any business, and could be
easily rectified.
The report contains no sensational
or unusual matter, and none of the
charges and accusations hurled by
Earl H. Pehl and L. A. Banks, against
the handling of county affalra are
supported In the audit. Pehl in
"congress" meetings in rural areas,
frequently voiced serious accusations
and Banks repeated them in his
newspaper.
The report shows that the sheriff's
office under Ralph Q. Jennings han
dled 1, 444,686.03 during the three
years period, and the recorded cash
receipts of the office show at 60 cent
shortage. Pehl and Banks hinted In
their allegations, that the sheriff of
fice funds were "mishandled."
The clerk's office, another point of
veiled attack by Banks and Pehl,
handled $18,853,39. The audit shows
the clerk's accounts were off a nickel
during the regime of Delilah Stevens
Meyer.
The audit shows that the county
offices handled in 1032, the, sum of
91.432.391.07; In 1931 the sum of $1.
929.187.98, and in 1930 th sum of
12.110,710.33. The total amount for
the three year period was 13,472,
259.38. The county court spent Saturday
afternoon going over the audit with
Auditor Haines, and discussing sug
gested changes In the systems used
in county business. The session will
be resumed Monday. An Item oy
item study of the audit Is being
made by the county court.
The audit is voluminous and In
detail and covers all offices and
funds. As soon as a copy Is received
from the binders, It will be made
available to all Interested. The re
port is complete.
The contract for the audit was
signed March 16 last. Pehl. then
county Judge, now serving a four
year state prison sentence for ballot
theft, in his rural district speeches,
and in his weekly made generil
charges that county funds were be
ing mishandled. Banks In his pub
lication supported the allegations.
Neither would make specific allega
tions, but hurled general allegations.
The audit was contracted, to still
the studied and growing agt talon.
When rum or-mongers spread charges,
they were hailed before the county
court, and faced with their accusa
tions. In the presence of the auditor
This stopped the practice. One of
the terms of the contract, was that

WASHINGTON. Aug. 19. (AP)
The eyes of the nation's wheat farm
ers next week will center on a thea
ter of operations extending from
London to Portland. Ore., as both
International and domestic action Is
taken to Improve their status.
Significant events scheduled for
the next few days are to be climaxed
on Thursdsy when Secretary Wallace
will announce the percentage of
acreage reduction to be required of
American farmers In order to become
eligible for benefit payments of up
to $136,000,000.
Representatives of the chief wheat
producing nations gather' at London
for the reconvening of the .world
wheat conference Monday. Several
Important decisions affecting Amer
ican wheat policy may be secured.
Representatives of farm administra
tors and the grain Industry prepared
for another meeting Monday at Port
land to explore the possibilities of
a trade agreement among exporters
to move surplus wheat out of that
region to the Orient with govern
ment support.
Meanwhile, In school houses, court
rooms and country auditoriums
throughout the four major wheat
producing areas In the United States
farmers were being brought together
in meetings to develop arrangements
for application of the voluntary do
mestic allotment plan to the grain.
Wallace and his aides said their
minds are "open" on the decision as
to the acreage reduction to be re
quired up to a maximum of 20 per
cent covering planting for harvest In
1934.
In event an International agree
ment to reduce production Is arrived
at for the United States, Canada,
Australia and Argentina the admin
istrators are willing to reduce the
American production more than If
thla country alone embarks upon a
production curtailment program.
If there Is no agreement, admin
istrators are Inclined to require a
reduction of no more than 10 per
cent for 1934 plantings; In case an
International agreement results, some
of them believe that this country
could offer a reduction of 15 per
cent.
Heavy abandonment following bad
weather conditions has brought the
prospective wheat crop this year to
Its lowest point since 1893. The acre
age is estimated by the crop report
ing board at 44.879.000 compared with
55.152.000 last year and 69.934.0000
average for 1928 to 1930 Inclusive.

LOVE BABES SOLD
BY
TULSA, Okl'a., "Aug. ' 19. fAP)
Evidence that babies born out of
wedlock have been sold here for
adoption was revealed today by Mrs.
Mabel Basse tt, state commissioner of
charities and corrections.
Mrs. Bassett asserted she had ob
tained statements signed by three
physicians after . the "baby market"
was uncovered accidentally by Miss
Helen Schtfeffer, director of the local
children's service bureau.
At least four babies have been
"sold" recently, Mrs. Bassett said, for
sums ranging from 70 to 9100, the
physicians allegedly taking the mon
ey as "costs for hospitalization."
Oklahoma has no law under which
such cases can be prosecuted, Mrs.
Bassett declared.
Mrs. Bassett indicated she will have
the testimony of witnesses and the
statements signed by the physicians
ready for submission to the society
within a few days.
Miss Schaeffer told Mrs. Bassett
her suspicions were aroused when two
women called and asked about the
parentage of a baby offered them
for adoption for 100.
After Mrs. Bassett was advised, an
Investigation was begun that showed
four children, all born of girl moth
ers, had been disposed of in this
fashion over a period of fc few weeks.
In eaoh instance, Mrs. Bassett said,
the doctor in the case advised the
young mother he would relieve her
of the responsibility of caring for
the child.
"The girls agreed because they had
been betrayed and were at a low ebb,
both physically and mentally, and
because they were ao desperately poor
they could not pay hospital costs
and care for the children," Mrs.
Bassett said.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.
Well, flew in here last night
from Chicago. Come to the old
fountain of rumors to watch
the hired boyg work under per
spiration. The town has got
"coditis." Every time you
come to Washington somebody
is headlined. All the interest
is centered there.
Last time I was here they
were featuring J. P. Morgan,
one of the R. F. C, but this
time nil brief cases can be fol
lowed and they lead to the
Hoover building. (The depart
ment of commerce building,
covering the lower end of the
District of Columbia and the
entire northeastern part of Vir
ginia.) Well, this old Oklahoma
Johnson is in there and he is
papa in Washington now. Ton
briug your "code" to him. He
nnquodes it, re-codes you an
other one, you sign it, get you
a bluebird and go back in busi
ness again.
