MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1928 o FARMER BODY OPTIMISTIC IN RELIEF HOPES; Farm Bureau Federation Hears Its President Talk of Hoover Plans Chicago, Dec. 10.— (#) — The American Farm Bureau federation ‘was advised today by its president, Sam H. Thompson, to hold in abey- ance any specific plan for farm re- lief and “wholeheartedly meet Presi- dent-elect Hoover an open basis and consider on th rits any pro- posals advanced by the incoming ad- ministration to obtain equality for agriculture.” His address opened the federa- tion’s convention this morning. Thompson asserted that the most heartening thing that has happened since the organization started its battle for farm equality was the statement of Mr. Hoover that the farm problem “is the most urgent economical problem in our nation today,” and his promise of an extra session of congress if the present session arrives at no solution. “At last the agricultural problem has become the nation’s problem,” Thompson said. “We have always contended, and we now contend that the American policy of protection should be made just as effective for agriculture as it has been for in- dustry and labor and thus assure the farmer an American price for the products of his toil.” Outlining the farm bureau’s pros- Pective program of service to agri- culture for the coming year, Thomp- son declared that the economic re- habilitation which this program pro- moted “foreshadows a period of un- precedented prosperity.” Included in the farm bureau proj- ects he placed prominently the in- tention to extend co-operative mar- keting through the rendering of cer- j tain specific services to existing or- ganizations and development of new ones; pushing to completion of freight rate hearings under the} Hoch-Smith resolution; extension of | farmers’ tax-equalization campaign; development of highways and inland ‘waterways; and assistance in finding mew uses for agricultural products, “To farm people the development of the farm bureau program will mean a new standard of living,” he jinued. “It will mean a happy contented home on a majority of our farma, To the city and town population it will mean a tremendous new and expanding market for man- ufactured products that will vastly petins commerce; less labor com- ition; and lower food and cloth- costs.” BRITAIN COURT |) STILL ANXIOUS Physicians Report That His Temperature Is Lower After Restless Night eae London, Dec. 10.— (®) — Ki Mites coolition is still’ causing The king’s hysicians made this clear in their bulletin this morning which otherwise was of a somewhat those of pet Aya sty or tata.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 10.—A murder that took place in the supposedly safe confines of the county jail here has given local police one of the most puzzling mysteries of recent years, There isn’t any doubt about who committed it. But efforts to find out what lay back of the killing have led investigators into a tangled web of obscure motives and emotions that may leave them completely befogged. Here are the objective facts: Don Prentiss, held for federal authorities on a Mann act charge, was locked in the jail awaiting overcrowded, another prisoner, put in the same cell.
