That la what farmers of alx
drouth states of the Midwest are
carrying around thla fall. It U a
bigger role than they had last year
ana many times bigger than the one
they had In 1932. And It Is sur
prising to the farmers and the mer
chants. Because of the terrific
drouth toll both classes had expect
ed little cash Income.
The states that are finding a
healthy cash balance In the rural
sections are Missouri. Nebraska. Iowa,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
Expert Figures
Figures compiled by experts place
the combined Income of the six
state for 1934 at approximately
1.356.422.000. The farm Income for
the same states In 1933 was $1,290.
311.000. Thus the "burned out"
farmers will have approximately $,
000.000 more to spend than they
had In 1933.
The reasons are higher prices now
commanded by farm products and
the federal benefits from the AAA
for crop reduction and the corn-hog
program. Between the two many
farmers will break ahead of last
year, and because of the AAA bene
fits virtually all will have some
cash.

Inwa's Income
Iowa's farm Income will be ap
proximately $338,167,000. the total
helped nicely by the $75,000,000 In
corn-hog money now being distribu
ted. The 1933 income was $325,600,
000. The Income of Kansas farmers will
be about $225,000,000. an Increase
of about $5,000,000 over last year.
In Oklahoma an Income of about
$146,000,000 Is anticipated, contrast
ed with $122,755,000 tn 1933. Neb
raska will have about $170.000.000..
Last years yields netted but $132,

farm Income of $56,000,000 will top
that of last year by approximately

The better times are reflected In

TIGERS DRILL HARD
ON SATURDAY NIGHT
(By Harold Grove)
Practice, and plenty of it, has been
the order of the day for the Medford
high school Tigers for the past week
In preparation for the battle with
the Eureka high whool next Satur
day night before the flood lights on
the turf field of the Loggers city.
Coach D. K. Burgher opened up
Tuesday night and gave his charges
one of the stlffest workouts this sea
son, which was followed by another
stiff workout Wednesday night.
Burgher says that In order to sur
vive a tough ball game a team must
survive tough practices to prove that
they are capable of "taking It."
New faces have been popping into
the first string Unenp. John Dlck
erson, sturdy guard, has been lining
the shoes of Keith Estes, who has
not been out for practice for the last
couple of days. Bob Smith, who
showed up so well In the Roseburg
and SON3 frosh games, has been
changing off with Blondle Lewis
Both boys are making a good show
ing. Ole Sleverson. the Jumping
Swede, has also been showing up
well as understudy for Ghelardt.
The only worry left .for Burgher
Is In finding a center able to take
Steuart's place should he be Injured.
A big. long, lean boy by the name of
Ray Ettenger has been slaving
the position with the hope that he
will make good. Another man Bur-'
gher will have to fall back on if Et
tenger Is unable to make the grade
la Earl Harrison, who has been play
ing guard.
Playing on deep grounded sawdust
all season and then shifting to a turf
field may not be so easy on the an
kles for the Tigers, and substitutes
will be needed before the game Is
finished.
Burgher has not completed the list
of players that will make the tr!p
but said there would possibly be 22
or 24 players make the trip along
with one manager.
Considering the distance to Eureka,
quite a few local fans are planning
to go to the game. As many tans as
possible are urged to be there for the
more support the Tigers have from
their own locality the better football
they are likely to display.

EARL SNELL HERE
ATROCITY ELEVEN
Today ta the eleventh anniversary
of the Siskiyou Tunnel attempted
train robbery and quadruple murders,
for which the DeAutremont Brothers
Ray, Roy and Hugh are now serv
ing life terms in state prison, where
they have been since June, 1927. The
crime, one of the most atrocious in
Pacific coast history, occurred at 13:10
noon, and threw southern Oegon into
fever of excitement. The DeAutre-
monts were arrested, tried, and made
signed confessions four years later,
after a world wide hunt.
Recent reports from the state
prison say that Imprisonment is be
ginning to take toll of Ray De Autre
mont, "brains" of the attempted rob
bery, and that at night, when he hears
the whistle or bell of a distant loco
motive, he Is thrown into severe men.

Uvea of four men were ruthlessly
snuffed out, and the scenes come
back to him.
The DeAutremont have been model
prisoners, save for Hugh, who was
linked two years ago with an at
tempted escape that was thwarted
Hugh and the other plotters were cast
into the "bullpen."
Chance of any of the trio ever re
ceiving a parole Is said to be slim.
Federal Indictments charging murder
rest against them. Recommendations
filed by Jackson county officials, in
cluding Former Sheriff Ralph Jen
nings, oppose granting of paroles
under any conditions, or for any rea
