Lan don, of Kansas, who lent his own presence to the campaign in a Portland address Saturday night, seeking support for the party’s can oidates. Only in the final stages of the oratorical battle did Brann unbend from his adherence to state issues. He argued that his record as gov ernor and the benefits he obtained for Maine entitled him to White’s | senatorial berth. He turned to the national note when Landon swung eastward from Topeka to denounce in his Port land speech “a system of organized authority wielded by one man.” Brann declared the republican nominee himself had been an ad vocate of new deal attempts to ward recovery, and that if Landon viewed the Maine election “fairly” me would “urge my election ... be cause of the similarity of our ap proach to the great problems that confronted Us as governor.” In his final address White charged that “the Frankfurters, the Farleys, the Wallaces and Tugwells and'all the lunatic fringe are against me and for him (Brann) because they see in him a supporter of their cause.” iMiA 150, halfback, Jr.; Reuben Ford, 125, guard, Jr.; Bill Grice, 163, fullback, Sr.; Chunk Rudisill, 140, fullback, Jr.; Paul Lawing, 140, center, Sr.; Charlie Beal, 140, guard, Sr.; L.

Washington. They concluded, too, that the mule is “a creature of great stub bornness”—something everybody else knew all along. Official recognition of the part played by the “Father of His Coun try” in spreading balkiness on Amer ican farms has been given in a de partment publication. In tracing the history of the mule, which is a cross between the horse and the donkey, the experts feund that a jack and two jennets given to Washington by the King of Spain accounted for the first recorded jack - stock importation ir. American history. Later Washington received a jack and jennet from the Marquis oe Lafayette, and a cross between the two strains produced an animal which the first President called “compou.nd,” It sired some f5He mules, the publication said, and “the value of the mule as a work animal was soon recognized by the early planters.” There was unstinted praise for the mule’s ability to withstand long periods of labor in hot cli mates, in mines and under other adverse conditions. Contrary to popular belief, of ficial figures revealed that Missouri doesn’t have as many mules as some other states. Missouri mules numbered 236,000 at the start of this year, it was said, while Texas had 837,000. The mule population in North Carolina, Geor gia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas also exceeded that of Missouri. In the entire country there were ,4,685,000 mules.

Superintendent Reveals Real Discovery Made After Long Search Louis H. Hepp, superintendent in charge of operations on the proper ties of the American Consolidated j Tin Corporation located in Lincoln ton, announced today the finding of a rich strike of tin ore assaying from two to fifteen per cent. The existence of tin bearing ore bodies has been known for years m the Lincolnton area in North f arolina, and some rich tin ore has been extracted in the past, but, because of lack of modern equip ment and inadequate financing, none the properties ever attained com mercial importance, until the present operation financed by New York in to tests acquired the Lincolnton prop erty which for the past five or six years has been under inttensive de velopment. In addition to the clean ing out of the workings accomplish ed by former operators, the company »anied on an extensive exploration und development program in other fnd newer sections of the acreage where tin ore values had been in dicated by surface or near sur iace work. Many thousands of tons °1 material were removed in this process, and several thousand feet <d drifting and crosscutting has been done, which has resulted in the opening up of six well defined bodies of ore bearing material, h pme of it running high in metallic ‘■in an d much °f it giving com mercial assays. The most recent find v. ».»ld . . > ♦ , i’.di'”.!, these mineralized reefs, or some of them, traverse the property for a distance of at least a mile and a quarter. F urther development work is being rushed with a view to i lacing enough ore above ground to insure a steady supply for the mill which is projected. When this property goes into production, it will be the only commercial tin producer of importance in the United States. Consuming more tli„n half of the world’s entire tin production, with no domestic source oi supply within the borders of the United States, this country is en tirely dependent for its enormous 1,11 requirements on foreign coun tries, a precarious source of supply at this time when present and probable war needs i n Europe might quickly restrict any flow of the metal to this country. In the year ended June, 1936, con sumption of tin in the United Mates increased 35 per cent over the previous year. Entire wrrld production for the first six months ibis year was 76,721 tons; United States tin consumption in the same period was 44,140 tons. Following is a copy of the tele gram sent to the company’s New 1 ork office this morning by Mr. Hepp, informing officials of the j strike: “American Consolidated Tin Mines Corporation, “11 Broadway “New York City, "Have drifted through tin-bear ing reef from swamp shaft STOP (Continued on back page) HBijcfflil JOE GISH SAYS— One reason the pioneers succeeded was because they didn’t sit down and wait for the government to render assistance.
