PAGE FIVE FARMERS DEGlDEjBUTTER STORAGE FORI Z (Continued from Page One.) mand instead of. glutting the mar kets with goodB, and on the con trary, farmers have continued to pro duce In excess ol effective demand for same, thereby being forced to sell at a loss and inevitably being forced Into bankruptcy, we believe that a carefully planned adjustment of farm production is the only system that will give to agriculture on equality with Industry, and See Foes or AAA. "Whereas, powerful organized groups are attempting to destroy the agricultural adjustment administra tion, and "Whereas, Mr. Wallace, the secre tary of agriculture, and his advisors have demonstrated their clear think ing and courageous Interest In be half of general agriculture, and "Whereas, the agricultural adjust ment administration has lifted the producers from a state of bankruptcy into one of hope, and "Whereas, the processing tax and benefit payment are the first ef fective semblance of a protective tariff for the growers, and "Therefore, be it resolved by the delegates assembled that we respect fully request our congressmen and senators to give their unqualified support to the continuation of the agricultural adjustment act, includ ing the processing tax and the amendments to the act now pending before congress, and ' "Be It further resolved, that we endorse the legislation enacted by the national congress and the sym pathetic administration thereof in restoring the agricultural credit of the nation." There were grins of satisfaction and much back-slapping among the farm "marchers" as they reviewed yesterday's program. They said their demonstration in favor of the agri cultural program and against the critics who are seeking to alter it was a success. Enthused by F. R. The program drove to a climax in the later afternoon when the 4000 men stood before the south portico of the White House, looked up at the president and whooped their -enthusiasm as he told them the farm policies would continue. The attire of the crowd below him was a study in contrasts. Some bronzed, lean men hitched the sus penders to their overalls and chewed tobacco; some wore their Sunday best, looking as if It Just came out of the mail order bundle; others wore well-cut business suits. The applause ranged from handclaps to sounds reminiscent of hog-calllng. Introduced by Secretary Wallace as the "Heart of America,' the presi dent lost no time In lashing at critics. "The crocodile tears shed by the professional mourners of an old and obsolete order over the slaughter of little pigs and other measures to reduce surplus agricultural Inven tories deceive very few thinking people and least of all the farmers themselves." he said. "It is high time for us to repeat on every occasion," he said, "that we have not wastefully destroyed food in any form.' At one point a farmer injected Into the proceedings a reference to one of the administration's bitterest foes Gov. Talmadge of Georgia. - President Roosevelt was saying that among the AAA critics were a "few leading citizens," who have gone astray ." A farmer broke in to shout: "We have one down our way, south Georgia." "I was about to say from igno ranee," the president resumed. Later, in Atlanta, Governor Tal madge commented tersely after hear ing that the president had struck at the high and mighty with special axe to grind." "He must have been talking about Tug well and Wallace," Talmadge said. Say "March" Inspired. While the farmers declared their "march on Washington" was spon' taneous and AAA officials asserted they had nothing to do with the movement. Senator Dickinson (R, Iowa said it was "inspired" from the capital. "In my Judgment." he said, "the march on the capital was inspired from Washington. They are trying to crest the impression that the ad ministration farm program Is popu lar, when every lota of evidence 1 have is to the contrary." PORTLAND, Ore., May 15. (AP) Butter torage operations were in creasing rapidly within the local ter ritory and even In California the In put remained of liberal volume. Rather high prices now quoted for butter in comparison with the nor mal for storage operations has turned many operators from the buying field, but there was suggestion of general participation in the market for this purpose within the next few days. There was suggestion that buying for storage will reach Its maximum for the season within a short time. Trading In the egg market was firm but prices were continued at a lower level than shown In any of the lead ing markets along the Pacific slope. There was no change for the day. Strong prices were showing for live chickens in the local trade. They were being maintained at the recent high mark for all offerings with ev erything In the line rather eagerly sought. f Market?

' county Judge, to evade garnishment. Counsel for Fehl objected to this line of questioning, but were orer ruled by the court. Fehl was a calm and evasive wlt nesa. but frequently replied spirited ly. To most of the pointed questions he resorted to a general denial, or qualified them with his own version. Docximentary evidence, and letters Fehl had written since Incarceration In state prison, formed the basis of the cross-examination for the moat part. In one epistle to Edward C. Kelly, Fehl wrote: Kelly M Friend 'Your father Is tha best friend I ever had' . . . "You did not object to my fee then?" queried Attorney Kelly. "I was In the penitentiary and In no position to object to anything," was the quick retort of Fehl. At another Juncture, the witness declared : "I was Instrumental In the election of your son to the legislature. He appeared with me at many of my meetings and ran on my platform.' "There can be no doubt of that." replied Attorney Kelly, a tinge of sarcasm In his voice. Fehl was indefinite regarding an assignment of 150Q in rental money to his counsel In the original Nled ermeycr. Inc., suit, but admitted the transaction when confronted with the document Itself. He testified, "It was to cover up and keep going." Says Counsel Volunteered "The Bar association appointed a committee to defend me In the five criminal libel suits," Fehl declared. 'I supported JudRe Norton In his campaign and was responsible for his election. After that there was a mut ual agreement between me and the lawyers and they were friendly to me." Fehl declared his counsel In the criminal libel trials, "was volunteer help," and added: "I must say they did a good Job. They acquitted me on two counts. The rest were dis missed." Partners Forgotten In response to allegations, that Attorney Kelly owned shares In Fehl's weekly paper, The Pacific Record Herald, and which the attorney de nied, Fehl answered, "I can't remem ber. I wouldn't say yes, and I would not say no." He did assert that At torney Qeorge M. Roberts was a shareholder. Attorney Roberts de clared In court, "If I am, I don't know It." The witness declared the chief shareholders In the Pacific Record Herald were himself and Attorney F. J. Newman, "but I can t recall all of them,' At the close of the morning ses sion. Attorney Kelly was qxiestioning Fehl on the "value" of property, he had transferred to his mother-in-law. The witness admitted the transfer to her of the Pacific Record-Herald building for a IftOOO Judgment, and fixed its worth at aia.000. a letter was Introduced, written by Fehl In which he fixed the value at 115.000. Admits Helm roth Loan Fehl testified, under cross-examination, that he and his wife had bor rowed money from Ted Helmroth and wife to purchase the Pacific Record Herald building at a sheriff 'a tax sate. The sum borrowed from Jesse Thomas of Ashland, for the same purpose, "was arranged by Tom Brecheen. I had nothing to do with it. All arrangements were made when I went to see Mr. Thomas." (Breeh-. een served a prison term for ballot theft and was active In the Banks Fehl turmoil). The cross-examination of Fehl Is expected to take the remainder of today and may extend Into tomorrow. Following the cross-examination by Attorney Kelly, who claims 13000 for attorney fees and legal services ren dered in many court actions, Attor neys Enright and Attorney Nellson, will Interrogate the witness on be half of Helmroth and Thomas, and Jackson county claims. The testimony In the case is high ly Involved and devious, and covers a long period of time.

XXK23 Why You Should Never Cut a Corn If you are troubled with corns or callouses, do not run the risk otf blood poison by perliyt them. Statla- J tics ehow that many infections haT occurred irom mis eeminiy mno cent practice of paring corns. Simply g-Fo your druggist and get a few cent worth of Ice-Mint, rub a little on any painful corn or callous. Immediately the pfltn will dlssppear and in a short time the corn or cal lous will loosen and lift off easily with the fiaers root and all leav ing the surrounding skin In a heal thy normal condition. This, together with the fact that Ice-Mint overcomes suoh affections as sore, tired, aching, puffed or burning feet and makes them cool, eiy and comforta-ble. Is probably re sponsible for the hearty endorse ment given It by drucglsts. To rid one's feet of every hard corn, soft corn, corn between the toes or painful callouses in such ft pleiuunt and safe way, makes It seem the height of folly for anyone to pare a corn and people are warned to stop It. ummer Excursion Boston, Mass.
