Sec Wallace Invades "Kingdom of
Huey"; Seeks Farm Support of AAA
ALEXANDRIA, La., May 11. (AP)
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace, addressing a slate-wide ag
ricultural rally here today In the do
main of his frequent critic, Senator
Huey P. Long, called upon the) farm
ers of the nation to stand firm In
their support of the agricultural ad
justment act.
"It Is time for farmers to get up
on their hind legs and right for what
they know to be simple Justice," he
said, adding that "your united stand
for the cause of agriculture was never
more necessary than at the present
moment."
Two weeks ago Senator Long fired
bias tagolnst the AAA and the new
deal policies In Secretary Wallace's
home city, Des Moines.
The next few weeks will prove
oruclal," aald the cabinet member.
If the ranks of agriculture hold
firm, we have some chance to Im
prove the agricultural adjustment act
and come doner to winning for agri
culture Its fair share of the national
Income; but If the ranks of agricul
ture are divided, It Is almost a cer
tainty that what farmers have
battled for for 15 years will be lost."
Secretary Wallace declared the
farm situation changed when Presi
dent Roosevelt came into office.
Since the farmer has to buy In a
protected market, the farm program
of the new deal found & way to help
him sell In a protected market. Fut
the first time, through the device of
the processing tax, the majority of
farmers had a tariff that actually
worked for them.
Mother Day Poems
MOTHIK WAS ALWAYS GOOD
Kind friends, I want to soy.
With this my pen In hnnd.
Of mother, who's laid away
At rest In the silent land.
Though dentil Is ever ao sad.
And never seems understood.
Of one thing we can he glad.
For mother was always good.
Honor was given mother
"Be Just and ever brave,
And kind to one another";
These were the lessons she gave.
And she never would weary
Of doing the host she could
To make home bright and cheery,
For mother was always good.
Her children she has guarded
Beyond temptation's call
Her time was well awarded.
For she left no children small.
Truly, a woman's blessing.
The pride of motherhood
The right to fond caressing,
For mother was always good.
Now that her soul Is free
From cares and palna so oft,
Somehow It comforts me
That you've made her pillow soft.
I know you'd have her stay;
Had you the power you would
Not have let her wo nwnv.
For mother was always good.
We stand on eternal shore,
And hid our last good by;
Where friends have gone before
In peaceful rest to lie.
When mother had passed away,
She happily knew It should
Be true and pleasont to say
Dead mother was alwnys good.

TO .MY MOTIIKR
Oft' times In my dreams.
To me It seems
That I'm a child aealn with you;
And it's Just the memory
Of th days that used to be
And vne ninny things we used to do.
The many things you did
When I was a kid.
Now bring a tear to my eye,
And every spot brings bark a thought
Of you and the days gone by.
The many things you did
When I waa a kid;
Today your kisses and your smile.
With the memory of what urd to be.
Is what makes my life worth while
.Frank LongwJll.
In the evening when the shadows fall
And all Nature Is tn rhyme.
My thoughts go drifting back
To that little mnthrr of mine.
It doesn't matter what a l"-ad boy I've
been.
Or what I'll amount to he,
There'll still be one In this great
wide world
Who will always thins of me

"Because of surpluses so huge as
to overshadow our whole national
economy, because of the limited
amount of food the human stomach
can consume, because of a shattered
farelgn market for farm product,
agriculture In 1933 won the right to
adjust Its productio nto the market
that actually existed.
"The agricultural adjustment act
borrowed the centralizing power of
government so that agriculture might
at least begin to win back r a little
of Its fair share of the national In
come. Now that these govern
mental powers have been used by
fillloru of farmers fo rtwo years, the
cry has arisen that they must be
taken away. I do not hear this cry
from any large number of farmers.
They know that a moderate use of
these governmental powers has help
ed put them back on their feet."
The agricultural chief vigorously
defended the AAA, declaring repre
sentatives of business have no right
to complain about production control
under that program.
"Those who charge the AAA with
Inducing scarcity simply do not
know the facts. The American farmer
always has produced enough food for
every man, woman and child In the
United States, and I am sure he will
continue to, given a chance to stay
on his farm and In business. The
adjustment programs have cut down
production for an export market
which no longer exists; they have
not deprived the people of one ounce
of necessary food."
RAZING OLD WALL
SALEM. Ore., May 11. AP) The
temporary restraining order against
the razing of the walls of the old
capltol building was continued to
day by Judge L. O. Le welling of the
Marlon county circuit court until
Wednesday, at which time he ex
pected to hand down his d;clslon on
its dismissal or permanency.
With the statement, "I believe you
gentlemen (speaking to the opposing
counsel) misunderstood each other,"
Judge Lewelling announced he would
study the additional citations added
to the briefs during oral argument
today and prepare his decision by
Wednesday of next week.
The Marlon County Taxpayers'
league, represented by President Hen
ry Zorn. Fh Jnry. Wlllard Stevem. and
Martin Rostvold. during the week had
obtained a temporary restraining or
der against destruction of the walls
of the burned building, contending it
was the duty of the state legislature
and not the board of control to pro
ceed with the razing.

that their measurements begin to

lowering in body welfU; likewise
they notice definite Increase In their
bodily vigor, or should notice this 'f
the regimen is right. The decrease in
bulk In the first two or three weeks
before any proportionate decrease In
weight occurs is due to the convers
ion of fat into water and carbon di
oxide (by natural metabolism or in
ternal combustion, the physiological
way the body burns fat), and tbjb
water Is retained In the tissues until
readjustment of the metabolism en
ables the body to excrete It.
The first essential in correcting un

disease. Why mention diseases which
such examinations may reveal? Don't
wonder or worry about the possibil
ity. Break down and treat yourself
to a health examination and find out
for certain Just whet your condition
Is. Just the assurance of a good doc
tor that you have nothing like that
Is worth the price.

LOW VITALITY
snd later to rlw Is g. good rule for
the holy fright. An hour of extra
rest, even tho one does not sleep
helps to store up fat. A long after
noon nap or mid-day siesta Is a good
habit when one wlshea to gain
weight. But even the skinniest of
creatures requires a fair amount or
exercise dally to maintain the best
state of nutrition, unless there n
some particular condition which ren
ders exercise un advisable In the Judg
ment of the physician.
It Is important to remember that a
moderate excess of weight in youth
la not only pleasing In appearance
but such plumpness seems to be as
surance against that great destroyer
of youth, tuberculosis. Past the age
of thirty, however, any excess of
weight becomes a handicap to the
heart, blood vessels and general me
tabolism and may be regarded as life
shortening. Few stout persons live a
ripe old age. Here Is where corpu
lence definitely impairs vitality. '
QUESTIONS AM) ANSWERS
f ravel
Because of some gall-bladder trou
ble I have been on a fatless diet for
about five years. Lately I have had
gravel, in one kidney. Could this be
caused by a vitamin deficiency due
to my restricted diet? (Mrs. M. C. P.)
Answer Not unlikely. There Is
considerable evidence that deficiency
of vitamin A la a factor of kidney
stone or calculus or gravel. Send 10
cents and stamped envelope bearing
your address for booklet "Building
Vitality" which gives details about
the vitamins you need.
soap and Witter
How may I destroy possible germs
on the mouthpiece of a wind instru
ment without using hot water or hot
liquid or disinfectants that would
leave a disagreeable taste? (W. R. J.)
Answer Soap In tepid water will
dispose of any germs as effectively ni
can any disinfectant or antiseptic
solution.
Neck Exercise
Any hnrm in exercising neck with
springs and head gear? Will this en
large neck muscles? My purpose ts
to fill out my neck to make my Ad
am's apple lesa conspicuous. (P. A
M.)
Answer I doubt that such exercise
will accomplish the purpose. Perhaps
by gaining weight you will rill out
the neck. Moderate simple exercise
without apparatus will best develop
the neck. Rolling somersaults and
stondtng on head would do so.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
AMELIA EARHART hops off in
Mexico City, and heads for New
York. As " these words are written,
she has covered In about nine hours
some 1300 miles of her proposed 2100
mile non-stop flight, and there seems
no reason why she will not com
plete it,
-pHE interesting part of this flight
is that it is undertaken without
ballyhoo, Just a casual stunt, under
taken, apparently, without much
preparation.
Non-stop flights from Mexico City
to New York must still be regarded
as "stunts," but there is every rea
son to expect that In the not too
distant future they will be everyday
affairs, attracting little or no atten
tion. Even now they attract no more
attention than a 100-mlle automobile
trip attracted 35 years ago.

IF YOU are still reasonably young,
the time will come when you may
own an airplane and hop off as cas
ually for Mexico City, or Miami, or
Alaska, or perhaps even Honolulu, as
you now get in your car and start
for San Francisco.
(This, of course, only in the event
that you are willing to work hard to
get the money with which to buy
an airplane and the gasoline to run
It and to pay your hotel bills when
you get there. If you are one of
those who are bitten with the bug of
sitting in an easy chair and waiting
for the government to bring your
living to you, there will be no air
planes for you).
WE ARE too apt in these days of
so-called over-production and
scarcity of Jobs to think of all the
great days as past and of all the
worth-while developments as having
been made.
That isn't true. If people don't
get OUT OF THE HABIT of work, In
these dole years of waiting for pros
perity to get up confidence enough
to come around the corner, there will
be far greater developments in the
future than we have ever eeen In
the past developments that will
change utterly our habits of living.
THIS headline is reminiscent: "Ore
gon Railroad to Cost Millions." j
The railroad referred to ts projected
from Port Orford to Leland, and Is
a PAPER railroad. Twenty years ago,
we were building paper railroads all !
over Oregon, and every town that was
up and coming at all had at least
two or three of them up its sleeve.
Now we aren't much interested In
paper railroads, but are Intensely In
terested In new highways.
Times change.
THE government, we read, is ex
pected to take over administra
tion of relief from the states about
July 1. Thereafter state relief agen
cies will be responsible to Washing
ton Instead of to the governors of I
the states.
One reason given for this Is the
controversies that have recently
arisen with several of the states. An
other Is that centralization of relief
forces will provide a more responsive
organization.
Another reason, not mentioned but
MUCH MORE IMPORTANT, Is that
next year Is a campaign year.
PORTLAND. May 11. (AP) Police
