PAGE TWO POTATO QUOTAS ! ARE NOW READY: j Figures Are Guarded However; Three-Fourths Cent Tax in Effect Dec. 1. Washington. Nov. 4.?The farm nd'.-nr.istrr tic- had ready today figures telling each state lur.v many pjiatoes its iatmers may gji>vi next year without, being taxed. The figures were closely guarded, however. A statement yesterday by Chester C. Davis, AAA administrator, that state quotas under the Warren potato control law would be announced J before the Noviheber l deadline grave credence To reports they would be out today. Under the law. subject of sharp controversy, 3 tax of three-fourths a cent a pound goes into effect December 1 on all potatoes marketed above quotas. After state quotas have been announced here, they will be broken do.v :i by counties anu tiien uy individual farmers Announcement of the state quotas will come in the face of threats that imposition of the tax will cause potato bootlegging. Already farmers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania] have announce:! intentions to flout; the law. Constitutionality of the i Warn- act is 1 -fore the Supreme; Court incidentally in a suit filed by 5 the state of Georgia to test the j AAA's power to control Senator Rush D. Holt i D-W. Va.)f has served notice he would seek re- j pea! of the act at the next session! of Congress. He termed it the most j unpopular act before the last con- j gr ess. j Meanwhile, potato growers and j handlers from eleven eastern, states discussed operation of the control act with AAA officials. They were told that the act meant better prices for consumers through stabilization of production. A. K. Mercker, potato control section chief, said growers were almost unanimous in supporting the act. A group from easetrn Virginia where a successful potato strike vv?s waged a few months ago, supported the act and called for higher prices. A spokesman said Virginia potatoes have averaged 70 to 90 cents a barrel for the farmer during the oast few years, and cost $2 to grow. The extent to which the control act .vould be enforced remained in doubt, despite ine fact the AAA had gone ahead with its quota allotments. -c Secretary Wallace said the budget bureau approved a S3,000,000 admin- i istration fund for the current fiscal 1 year but that release of the funds ^ to the AAA depended on Coniptrol- T ler General McCari. Officials had 1 said the law could not be operated t without funds. 7 Davis said plans were being made for an early referendum among po- 7 tato growers to determine accurately I sentiment on the control act. * The AAA has in mind a dual po- * taLo control plan. First low grade ^ potatoes would be shunted into in- < dustrial uses and kept off the con- ' sumcrs market. Second, voluntary agreements would be effected to re- 1 strict interstate shipments of then 1035 crop until the price level ini-11 proved. i MAN 0+ FATHER OF CHILD I Chicago.?The journal of the Amor- t ican Medical Association reported to- 1 day the birth of a child to the wife ? of a 91 year old Confederate veteran of the Civil War. Without giving the veteran's name, c the journal said the man served 1n j the Confederate army and had 16 t children by his first wife, whom he ; married in 12-72. His mother died at ? the age of 103. The ease was authen- t ticated by New York physicians, the journal added. j Helping Mothers ] to Cut Down On ft Family's Colds ; Unique Formula for Nose and ' Throat Helps to Prevent 1 Colds?And to Throw Off ' Head Colds at the Start. | ?

Letter From Washington, Oct. 22 Nothing ince the adjournment of Cci.gross! tas stirred up so much real interest? n Washington as the fact that Col.! mollis MeHenry Howe. Cliief of the j Yhite House. Secretariat, has so far j ecovcrccl from his long illness that! le was able to give an extender! in- i erview on politics at the Naval Hos- j >ital the other day. Col. Howe has leen for more jthan 20 years Mr. toosevelt's closest friend and chief >olitical mentor. Those who are most amiliar with the President's rise roni State Assemblyman to the .Yiiiie House, give Col. Howe much j freuit ior Uie political strategy by i which those 3teps were achieved. For more than a year Col. Howe ia.9 been so ill that he had to stay inder an oxygen tent in his bed at Jie White House. He was lately re1?nv#vl rr? tllfi VovdI UA3T.Uol no,l lo ' still a very sick man, but he talked ibout politics the other day in a way, hat indicates that his mind is fune-| .ioning along political lilies as clearly | is ever. Campaign of Politics Col. Howe's view is that the Presidential campaign of 1936 will be ought on questions of policies rather han o? personalities. The real issue is he sees it, will be whether the ef"orts of the Administration to proect the liberties and the rights of 'the little fellows" have been wise ind effective. The veteran political adviser to the President believes that the mass of -oters is taking a greater interest In Government than ever before, and hat the issue of the next campaign nil be determined by the people rather than by political leaders. He gave t as his opinion that the opposition s a little too eager and somewhat >remature in its efforts to determine he issues so far in advance of the campaign. Boarh and Teddy Of almost equal interest was the exchange of views between Senator Borah of Idaho and Col. Theodore toosevelt of New York Senator Borth suggested that the main issue of he Republican campaign next year night well be baaed upon the "Trust Busting" policy for which President cneoaore Roosevelt stood so firmiy. To this, "Young Teddy" took exoption. Without questioning the importance of the anti-monopoly issue >f his distinguished father, he did tot agree that it would be the major ssue of the campaign. He thought he Republicans could get farther by Lttacking waste and extravagance mder the present Administration. Senator Borah is. as always, a bit >f an enigma. Every poll of Rcpubll:an votero that has been taken on 'residential preferences continues to ihow the veteran statesman from Ida10 away in the lead, xet there is a ,'ery decided belief in all political luarters that he will not be the Rejublican nominee. Whatever he has ,o say about the party platform, lowever, will have a great deal of nfluence. Much the same is true of former 'resident Hoover. Whether or not dr. Hoover desires a renomination, r AT A U OA L- T I OCKjy i-iii v ivJ c \ Iross Poster fe :>l N Tl In submitting a design for the 1935 j roster, Wilbur, who has painted a num- II ber ol posters for the IUd Cross, placed the shadowy heroic figure of mercy i in the background, with tho practical ; lied Cross nurse succoring a sick and 1 wounded child In the foreground. "Still I the Greatest Mother" is his title.

Hoover \:i QkJo The latest bit of gossip about. Mr. ' Hoover's political activities is that he is working with party leaders inj Ohio, including his Postmaster Gen oral, Walter F. Brown of Toledo, and j ex-Senator Simeon Fcss, who was the Republican National Chairman in i the 1932 campaign. The purpose is j said to be that of sending a hand-1 picked Ohio delegation to the convention next year, ostensibly in favor of former Governor Cooper, but ready' to swing to Mr. Hoover if the favorable moment should arise. New Consumer Division ! The latest effort of the Administration to bring the Government into j closer touch with the people is the ] establishment of a '^Consumer's Division," the purpose of which is to aid the buying public to get more for its money. Mrs. Emily Newell Blair of Missouri Is at the head of it. The official title is the Directors' Council. Its purpose, announced by Walter K. Hamilton, Adviser to the President on Consumer Problems, is to devise ways of giving expert personal and group advice, to stimulate interest in the problems of the consumer I' and find ways and means to induce larger and more economical production of useful goods and betterment I of the American standard of living. | Plans are being worked out for the I consolidation of all the various bureaus having to do withhome-build,ing into one compact and workable J organization. | TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS j Question: What minerals do brood 'sows need during the gestation per' iod ? Answer: A satisfactory mineral ; mixture can be made by thoroughly 1 mixing 10 pounds of acid phosphate, : 10 pounds of hardwood ashes or ! ground limestone, and 2 pounds of common salt. The animals should have access to this mixture at all times. Proper care and feed for the animals during this period is also necessary for be3t results and this information is given in Extension Circular 151, copies of which may oe had free upon application to the Agricultural Editor at State College. I Question: How long does it take I to cure sweet potatoes and what j should be the average temperature of the house? Answer: It usually takes about two weeks for proper curing with the temperature maintained at 80 to 85 degrees. Plenty of ventilation, however, must be given during the curing in order to drive off all moisture. Watch the potatoes carefully and when the buds show a tendency to sprout and the skin feels "velvety" the curing is completed. After curing, allow the temperature to drop to about 50 degrees F. and keep it as close to that mark as possible while I the potatoes are kept in storage. T; iUI-tSDAY?BOONK, M.

DEPRESSION FAILS TO x-XCTTE PEOPLE IN OIIIO VILLAGE Big Prairie. O.?The thriitv village of Big Prairie stood out yesterday as possibly the only town in America where the depression is just a vague- rumor. Only one of the community's 200 odd citizens is on government relief. j "And he wouldn't work before they started relief," commented G. S. Starner, cashier of the town's bank. As for the rest, all adults are employed, said Starner. "They have been, too, during all the 24 years I've been here," he add eu. Lack of an employment problem is j not Big Prairie's sole claim to promi- ; nenee, however. This bucolic haven J has no city government to support,' has no regular transportation facili- j ties, nasn t even a town marshal, j yet it possesses it3 own water sys- j tern, has good roads, electricity, gas, telephones, and a school. The town does boast a justice of the peace, but business is quiet, and he doesn't feel the ncd of a telephone.

BEFORE THE RAIN The sky wa3 getting very dark. And I could hear the meadow lark; It 3eemed to say, "Hark, the rain will be Coming before dark." The leaves were falling fast I thought it would never rain at last.; Last night I knew it would rain, Because I heard it pattering on my window pane; I lay very still for it gave me a thrill; I thought we were going to have a shower, And maybe it would last an hour. ?BERTHA EGGBRS.
