O. P. Congressman Topeka, Kas., July 11.—Two par ticipants in the significant Landon- Lowden conference contributed views to the discussions of Republican farm plans today, one emphasizing anew that bounties would be paid farmers and the other questioning the new deal’s program. Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, who sat at the luncheon table while Gov. Alf M. Landon talked farm {.loblems yesterday, said the Illinois leader had “faced squarely a fact that some folks are trying to dodge for fear it will arouse antagonism in certain quarters.” Favor Further Bounties “The bounties to farmers who co operate in a national soil conserva tion program will have to be continu ed ” Capper quoted Lodwen as say ing. The presidential nominee affirm ed this statement at the press con ference where it was made by Low den. Representative Clifford R. Hope, of Kansas, who also heard the Lan don-Lowden conversations, issued a statement) at the governor’s office in which he said President Roosevelt had made the “astounding infer ence that a 10 per cent increase in wheat and corn acreage had been part of the administration’s farm plans “all along.’’ “Until the President spoke.’’ Hope said, “No intimation had come out ol Washington that the administra tion had any idea in mind than a reduction in these crops. Now that the drought is threatening a scar city of food and feed crops and it appears that the reduction program was a mistake * * * the administra tion is attempting to get out in front and lead the parade the other way.’’ Says Views Changed Hope, who is ranking Republican on the house agriculture committee, said that a month ago the farmer who reduced his acreage “was do ing the right thing according to the administration program,” but| that today “the ones who rejected i the program are extolled by the j President.” Beyond saying that he enjoyed the conference very much, Landon had no comment today on the farm views outlined by Lowden.

C MONDAY, JULY 13, 1936 I IS DESTROYED BY FIRE *r 4 - * ’ jg| DANIEL'S REFORMED CHURCH Daniels Reformed Church Completely Destroyed By Fire Was One of the Oldest and Most Historic Churches in Lincoln County Daniel’s Evangelical and Reform ed church, located four miles north west of Lincolnton, was completely destroyed by fire during an electri cal storm, which visited that section Friday night near midnight. Soon after the historic old edifice had been struck by lightning it was enveloped in flames and persons living in that vicinity realized that the building was doomed, since they had no water oi other facilities for fighting the blaze. Only a small portion of the con tents of the building could be saved, although persons who broke into the burning building were able to carry out the pulpit, several chairs and a number of Bibles. A bronze plate placed inside the church in 1905 by Mrs. Caroline R. Cochrane, of Boston, Mass., in memory of her grandfath ei, Rev. Andrew Loretz, was saved through the personal effort of L. A. Y oder. Daniels church is one of the oldest Reformed churches west of the Ca tawba river. The exact date of its oiganization is not known but the first house of worship used by the congregations is believed to have bten erected about the year 1786. The building which was burned Fri day night was completed and dedi cated April 1, 1894, during the pas torate of the late Dr. J. L. Murphy. On July 29, 1934 members of the congregation held an anniversary celebration at the church. Present lor that occasion were the three War lick brothers, David C and Jacob R. Warlick, both now dead, and Esq. Henry D. Warlick, who were descen dants of the pioneer, Daniel Warlick, for whom the church was named. The Warlick family has for many years been closely identified with the church and the three brothers always held their membership there. Rev. Andrew Loretz, pioneer Re formed minister of this section, was the first pastor of the Daniel’s Re formed church and during his pas torate he built in sight of the church a large brick residence, which still stands. On May 30, 1936 a special memor ial service commemorating the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the death of the pioneer minister, was held at the church and a hand some marker was unveiled at his grave. Daniel's church is one of the four churches which make up the South | Fork charge and which are ably serv fed by Rev. O. B. Michael, S. T. D. The official board is composed of i Rev. Mr. Michael, Hugh Warlick, D. I C. Coon and C. F. Lantz, elders;! James D. Warlick, B. F. Seagle and 1 O. 0. Leonard, deacons. COY LANTZ’SBARN DESTROYED BY FIRE! A barn belonging to Coy Lantz, j who lives on Route 2, was destroy ed by fire last Friday night after it bad been struck by lightning. Two mules, a quantity of ruffness and a wagon and other farm implements were also burned. A horse and sev eral head of cattle were saved. The building was struck during the heavy electrical storm which vis ited that section and burned about the time the Daniel’s Reformed church was burned. The loss is estimated at around $1,500, partially covered by insur ance. Mr. Lantz asked a Times repre sentative to thank all his neighbors and friends for their help and kind nesses. CRASHES AIRPLANE TO SAVE CHILDREN Forest City, July 12.—Paul Mc-I Murry, a commercial pilot, cracked up his plane today in a forced land ing to avoid hitting a group of chil dren. Neither McMurry nor his two pas sengers, Miss Sue David and Glenn Brown, suffered serious injury. Mc- Murry, however, had a number of tuts and bruises. McMurry had just taken off. His motor went dead, 150 feet up. A large field below him afforded a safe landing, but five children be came frightened and began running in the same direction the plane was coming down. To avoid hitting them he banked the plane, sticking the right wing in the ground. The crash occurred about 3:25 p. m., between Forest City and Spin uale in front of the fairgrounds. McMurry formerly lived here but now lives in Asheville. He had been taking up passengers from a field near here since yesterday after noon. This is a great country.

President Announces That No Appointments Will Be Made Until August Washington, July 11.—More than ii dozen high government posts were left unfilled today when President Roosevelt announced he would make nc appointments to i< jjor vacancies until his return to the capitol from his vacation. The President —who is leaving on a sailing holiday off the New Eng land coast —is not expected to fill several of the important vacant chairs in his official family even when he does return to Washington. Mr. Roosevelt added one more to the extensive list of vacancies to day when he accepted the resigna tion of Raiph W. Morrison, of Texas, as a member of the board of gover nors of the federal reserve system. Morrison, a friend of Vice Presi dent Garner, submitted his resigna tion several weeks ago, presumably because of differences of opinion on fiscal questions with Marriner S. Eccles, chairman of the board. One of the most important jobs to be filled is that of undersecretary of state. William Phillips, the present un dersecretary, is to be named am bassador to Italy, succeeding Breck inridge Long, when Phillips returns from the sailing vacation he is now on with his three sons. Three outstanding diplomats have been mentioned in discussion of tnose who might be picked to suc ceed Phillips: Sumner Welles, former ambassador to Cuba and now assistant secretary ft. Walton Moore, former Virginia representa tive in Congress and now assistant secretary; and William C. Bullitt, ambassador to the Soviet Union. Diplomatic circles buzzed today with reports that Bullitt, now in this country, would resign his Mos cow' post in the near future. Bullitt has declined comment on the reports. Other major positions which are vacant include: Under secretary of the treasury. Assistant secretary of the navy, vacant since the death of Col. Henry L Roosevelt. Minister to Persia and Afghan istan, vacant since the resignation of William H. Hornibrook, Utah newspaper publisher. Comptroller general, made va cant by the expiration of Joseph R. McCarl’s 15-year appointment. Director of the budget, by Daniel W. Bell as acting director since the resignation of Lewis Doug las. Second assistant secretary of labor. Secretary to the President, a post unfilled since the death of the President’s close friend and politi cal adviser, Colonel Louis McHenry Howe. Commissioner of the bureau of reclamation. Frank Murphy resigned as high commissioner to the Philippines to run for governor of Michigan, but LOCAL MARKET 1 COTTON I2V&c pound J WHEAT SI.OO bushel j CORN 75c bushel 2 EGGS 15c & 17c dozen { SINGLE COPY: FIVE CENTS President, Although Holding Popular Majority, Has Lost In 38 States New York, July 12.—1 n the few weeks since Governor Landon was nominated as Republican candidate foi President, there has been a na tion-wide shift of voters away from Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Presi dent has lost ground to Governor Landon in 38 states, including New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Ohio, and even a few states in the solid south. How'ever, in terms of popular votes, Roosevelt is stiil leading. On the basis of an Institute of Public Opinion poll—the first national poll since the nominating conventions, the score today, expressed in per centage of the major party vote is: Roosevelt 61.8$ Landon 48.2$ The Roosevelt figure represents a drop of four points since the insti tute’s June poll, conducted before Landon was nominated. Although Roosevelt has a majority of the total popular vote today, Lan don is actually leading in electoral votes. Mustering 21 states to the Re publican roll call, he now has 272 electorate votes, or six more than the 266 necessary to win. Roosevelt, leading in 27 states, has 259. One month ago, in the June poll, he had 407. The nationwide shift in popular vote appears to have been started specifically by Governor Landon’s nomination Jui.e 12. XJp to that time Roosevelt had gained steadily in six consecutive institute polls in which voters were asked to express their choice between Roosevelt and an unnamed Republican candidate. All the voting in the poll took place after Landon’s nomination. Voters began receiving ballots on June 18, and the poll closed last Monday, July 6. A total of 105,000 ballots was distributed to a cross section of voters in all walks of life. But not all ballots went out simultaneously. One-half were dis tributed after Landon’s nomination, and the rest were held until the Democratic convention opened, so that the effect of both conventions, and of Roosevelt’s acceptance speech in Philadelphia on June 29, were measured. Significantly, the ballots returned after the Demo cratic convention were more pro- Roosevelt than the first batch. How ever, this may be offset in the fu ture by the rise of third parties. 53,000 Pennies Saved Hanlonton, lowa, July 11. E. E. Ronglin, of Hanlonton, let his pennies accumulate for two years and took them to a bank in Mason City. The deposit totaled 53,000 pennies and weighed 360 pounds. Heat Dispossesses Bees London, Ont, July 11.—When the temperature went up to 105 degrees Thursday, it dispossessed the bees in a local apiary from their homes. The wax in the hives melted and closed the entrances. Mr. Roosevelt is holding it in “abey ance.” Postmaster General Farley is on a leave of absence to conduct the Democratic campaign. He is chairman of the Democratic national committee. JOE GISH SAYS— Money talks, and the average man likes to re main on speaking terms with a dollar.
