WASH mO TON. Oct. 10. (AP)
Chester 0. Davis, the farm adminis
trator, said today crop control pro
grams would be suspended tempor-.
arlly If war conditions abroad bring
high prices sustained above parity.
The programs then would be con
tinued for the remainder of the con
tract period, he said, when and If
prices declined.
Praising the present adjustment
machinery as a means of meeting In
creased demands as well as reducing
production, Davis said it offered a
means of "cushioning the shock of a
sudden fall In prices which Inevitably I
follows the close of a war."
Speaking over the radio, Davis dls- i
cussed the possible effect of the new1
wheat contracts In case world peace
Is shattered.
"In war and In peace," he said.;
"the wheat contract offers advan
tages to the cooperative farmer.
"In times past we have walkM Into
our economle troubles with the In
different attitude that we would meat
the problem when It came. The farm
board was called upon to meet the
wheat problem when the surplus was
already unmanagable. Using the agri
cultural adjustment administration
act, the farmers were compelled to re
sort to drastic methods to pull them
selves out of the depths of despair.
"They have barely reached solid
ground today when the possibility of
another dreaded agriculture cycle
threatens. Can we, as wheat farmers,
be far-alghted enough to bind our
selves closer together In great num
bers to enable us soberly to produce
for the market now and Intelligently
to perfect the control machinery to
ease the shock that must follow
troublesome times?"
"Oranddaddy of All Mysteries," as It
was the first mystery play written In
which the secret of the play was
withheld from the audience. It has
never been surpassed. 1
Taken from a novel of the same
name by Earl Derr Blggers, author of
the famous Charlie Chan books, and
adapted for the stage by George M.
Cohan, actor, playwright and produc
er, the play Is a rapid moving, baf
fling enigma, distinguished by Its
subtle plot and sparkling lines.
Cast for the play Is as follows:
William Halowell McOee, Angus L.
Bowmer; Mrs. Qulmby, Rosella CUne;
Elijah Qulmby, John Parker; John
Bland, Mark Seeley; Mary Norton.

PICKPOCKET TREATMENT
NEW YORK, Oct. 10. (UP) "He's
a pickpocket," detectives told amazed
passengers on the giant French iner
Norma ndle, Just before she sailed to
day, after they had beaten a man
and thrown him off the ship. It de
veloped, however, that the "pick
pocket" was a process server trying
to get to Horace Dodge, heir to a
34,000.000 automobile fortune, who
was sailing on the ship. Dodge is
being sued by his ex-wife.

4 PORCUPI
ADDED TO ZOO
AT FIRE HALL
The zoo operated behind the Med
ford fire hall by city Fireman Claud
Stevens was today augmented by four
porcupines, their cage being set up
alongside that of Mike, the digger
squirrel that has been the pet of
the firemen for three years.
- It Is Mr. Stevens' Intention of rais
ing porcupines In captivity and It Is
his belief that the plan will be suc
cessful. The porcupines have not been nam
ed as yet because, as Stevens explain
ed, he does not want them with
appellations that might have to be
changed later. The difficulty Is that
Mr. Stevens thinks he has one male
and three female porcupines but he
Is not sure, and It Is not good policy
to be premature in attaching names
to the pets under auch circumstances.
The porcupines are already friendly
and If they think you are okay they
will eat out of your hand. They are
very cordial creatures when thev.eet
to know you, Stevens said, pointing!
out that at one time they were pro- 1
tec ted by law because tbey were the
only animal that a hungry wanderer,
lost In the woods, could overtake.
When one Is hungry the porcupine
provides good meat, be explained.
The qullly animals, however, became
so destructive of farms snd gardens
thst the protective cloak was remov
ed and now they may be killed legally
at any time, Stevens pointed out. He
emphasized that, contrary to popular
Deuel, a porcupine cannot throw Its
quills.
The porcupines were given to Stev
ens by Robert Porter, Copco salesman.
who makes a pastime of catching ani
mals that most persons would shun.
Porter and Stevena are now conspir
ing to add a few skunks to the fire
hall zoo.
"Skunks make wonderful pets,"
said Mr. Stevens.
BUDAPEST, Oct. 10. (UP) Light

Mlskolz today, killing two guests and
rendering the bride dumb. Supersti
tious country folk fled shrieking that
It was an 111 omen for the marriage.
