FARM IN IDAHO TOPPLING INTO PREHISTORIC CAVERN Buhl, Idaho, Aug. 1. ? Guards j were posted tonight at Ohe H. A. Robertson farm, where more than 100 acres of fertile land was be ing engulfed by a violent under ground disturbance. Hundreds of curious persons were warned away from the farm, 1 seven miles west of here. The [ earth shook and the air was dusty , from the jete of volcanic ash [thrown aloft by the subterranian activity. Some 20 acres of Robertson's farm already has sunk ,200 feet below the surrounding surface^ forming a deep canyon whose bottom still tossed and puffed. Eighty additional acres of Rob ertson's 180-acre farm were be ing ripped by fissures similar to I those which tore the original 20 ' acres apart. Geologists said the disturbance was the rising to the surface of subterranean air bub bles and the sinking of top soil to I fill the holes. p~""The bubbles were formed be neath the surface many . thous ands of years ago when this reg ion was a playground for volca ' noes. Jhe entire region is dotted yrith -caves also left by the same incomplete volcanic action. Observers could see tfie land being swallowed up. First-,- cracks only an inch or two wide opened in the ground, and muffled deto nations thundered upward. Sub sequent shakings and rumblings opened the cracks until the sides began to drop into them. Clouds of yellrtw ash wera 'spewed upward out of the fissures as imprisoned bubbles burst' into the air. Geologist Horton B. Abell, of N'amps, Idaho, who heads the ex perts stadying the phenomenon, said the speed of the sinking was unusualv rapifl for such a geolog ical change. "It is my> belief that a greaj^ cavern exists^deep in the earUi and that alleviation of pressure is allowing the, surface to sink," he said. ? _ Geologists said tjiat gigantic lava rocks" under -the surface are shifting during the violent activi ty. The sinking is creating a new canyon, running north and south, which apparently will Join the Old Salmon River canyon. < V * * ? * * ? * * YOUNG DEMOCRATS TO - MEET ; * ' Theri' will be a meeting of * the Franklin County Young ?.

A Committee composed of Mes dames W. D. Egerton, L. M. Word, and A. C. Hall, represent ing the Junior -Women's League, appearedliefore the Board for the purpose of securing the pas sage of qn Ordinance providing for Grade A milk for the Town of Louisburg, N. C. Mr. W. Murray Linker, Jr., District San itary Supervisor of- the State Board of Health, explained in de tail to the Board, the provisions and benefits of the proposed or dinance. After hearing Mr. Link er, Com. Joyner moved "That the ordinance submitted by Mr. Link er be adopted, and that the ordi nance become effective September 15, 1937." The motion was car ried and the following Ordinance was duly adopted: Upon request from Fire Chief F. M. Fuller, the Board appropri ated $225.00 for the expenses of delegates attending the oncoming white Firemen's Convention, from the Louisburg Fire Dept., and $75.00 for the game purpose for the colored Fire Dept. Mr. F. H. Allen presented quo tations on paint' and bids from painters, on the job of painting the standpipe. Mr. Allen was au thorized by the Board to pur chase the necessary paint, con tract with a painter, and proceed with the painting of the staufl pipe. The Board authorized the pur chase of a barrel of paint for painting the inside of the Power Plant. A motion prevailed to accept 75% of the total Pavement As sessments and Interest due from Louisburg College, provided that the same attains the approval of the Court. After allowing a number of ac counts the Board adjourned. Washington, August 12. ? The first session of the 75t-h Congress is now at the point of adjourn ment as the 150th anniversary of the Nation is about to be celebrat ed by the observation of the Con stitutional Sesquicentennial. It will go down in political history not so much for what it has done as for what it refused to do. , ' Id refused to grant power to the President to enlarge the Supreme Court, and now its members are anxious to get back home and put their ears to the ground, to find out whether their constituents will stand by them, or whether the President still has. as lie believes, the over-whelming support of the voters. All of the Representatives and a third of the Senators coine up for reelection next year. In the Southern states, where victory at the Democratic primaries has al ways been tantamount to election, they have only half a year or so in which to build their fences be fore the Spring ?primaries. That is one reason for -opposi tion to the suggested recess until October, so that the Administra tion's proposals could be cleared off the slate and the road cleared for the big business jot the see?iil session, which is tSi revision. An other reason is that if they took a recess, thg boys would have to pay their own railroad fares home and back, whereas if they adjourn they c%n collect ten cents a mile from the Treasury, bot-h ways. Future of New Deal The one chance of something like bers who have gone counter to the President is that they wilt tone down their opposition only if they are t<rampled on by tha folks back .home, but will ptit up a strong fight to swing public sentiment their way unless they find that course hopeless. Those who have stbod by the Administra tion are equally eager to learn at first hand whether they hay? helped or hampered their own political fortunes. What they find out will determine the temper o? the session which will begiu next January. The whole future of the New Deal is wrapped up in the answer to the question whether the elec torate still stands overwhelming ly behind the President or back* up Congress in its bid for inde pendence. Thus the second ses sion of this Congress may weit be pf "feven greater political im portance than the first has been.
