Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, al most immediately after taking office, established his standing as a "real dirt farmer" in keeping with the promise of President Harding to put such a man at the head of the' Agriculture Depart ment. " Wallace called in newspaper men and speaking with evident earnestness, succeeded in impressing them with the fact that the American agriculturist simply must receive a better return from his work if he is to continue to feed 105,000,000 residents of the United States. Wallace, a newspaper editor as well as farmer, knew how to "put up his copy to make it get across." It did in a series of newspaper head lines which extended from New York to San Francisco. Wallace's desk is constantly littered with charts, showing the financial standing of the American farmer, his problems and profits. The Secretary burns the midnight oil in getting these charts in shape for publication. And scientists in the Department also work at all hours to supply the Secretary with information to go into the charts. GORDON FINGER IS FINED TWICE Brought in Court Charged With Nuisance and As sault and Battery. Summoned to the police court on two charges, , committing; a public nuisance and assault and battery, Gordon M. Finger, 1S26 East Eighth street, was found guilty in both cases by Judge Laurence Jones Saturday morning. He was fined $25 and costs for the first conviction and $10 and costs for the second. . .. : " According to the evidence, Mr. Finger had a fire started in his back yard several days ago which threatened to smoke out the entire neighborhood. Trash and shingles from a house he was remodelling fed the flames. Sev eral witnesses livftlg in the neighbor hood were on hand in court Saturday morning with complaints. The first cymax to the story came soon after the fire .was started, when Dr. L,. D. Walker, who lives next door, went out in his back yard to complain to Mr. Finger. "Didn't your chickens scratch up my yard some time ago?" is the an swer Mr. Finger was alleged to have made. This was followed by Mr. Fin ger's instructions to Dr. Walker to "mind your own business and I will mind mine." Dr. Walker then had a warrant sworn out for the defendant. The major climax came Friday .night. It was alleged that Mr. Finger saw Dr. Walker in a car in front of his house i playing with his little girl. He made a bee line for him. according to evi dence, and struck at Dr. Walker, who had his glasses on at the time. A bruise under his right eye in the police court showed that the blow struck home. In the scuffle that ensued. Dr. Walked's coat was torn and his glasses lost and several minor bruises inflicted upon I him by Mr. Finger. The fight lasted for some time, with many neigh bors as witnesses. Dr. Walker then had another war rant sworn out. In court Saturday morning. Dr. Wal ker's cook testified that after Mr. Finger had been warned by Dr. Walker to stop the fire, he ordered a negro boy to pile up more fuel on the fire and exclaimed,. "Smoke hell out of them!" It was alleged that the smoke filled nearby houses to such an extent that the windows had to be closed. On the witness stand Mr." Finger was cut short by Solicitor Guthrie when he declared that "his neighbors didn't fit in with that section." The entire evidence heard was against Mr. Finger. v TWO DEAD BODIES FOUND ON TRACK White Man and Negro Man Discovered Dead by Train Crew. Lying side by side on the Southern railroad tracks, the body of a whita man and a negro man were found by a train crew at 4:30 a. m. Saturday about a half a mils beyond North Charlotte.
