dl FEDERAL BOARD HAS NO PRICE FORECAST POR 1929 MARKETS Members Describe Unfortunate Condition of Overcrowd- ed Grain Elevators BESIEGED BY TELEPHONE When All Reports Agree on Low- ered Grain Supply, Bad to Crowd Market Facilities Washington, Aug. 3—(#)—The fed- eral farm board in a statement to- day reiterated that it had made no forecast concerning “a proper | for wheat for this market year” and said it did not propose to do so. ‘The board said reports to it told of terminals throughout the country becoming overcrowdéd for the hand- ling of wheat and described this as “unfortunate.” ‘The statement follows: “The federal farm board is being besieged by telephone calls, tele- grams, and letters regarding the over- crowded terminals and transportation facilities for the handling of wheat. This excessive crowding of wheat in- to the market’ has created a fa wider spread between cash wheat prices and prices of wheat sold for future delivery than usually exists. “The federal farm board has made no statement or forecast whatso-~ ever concerning a proper price for wheat for this market year nor does it propose to do eo. But, under con- ditions which exist this season when all reports agree on a substantial reduction in the world supply as com- pared with last year, it seems un- fortunate to crowd wheat onto the market faster than existing facilities handle it, resulting in cash prices which are much lower than contract prices for future delivery.” PURCHASING AGENT OF STATE WILL BE FACTOR IN BUYING New Chairman of Board of Ad- ministration Insists He Dis- charge Entire Job ‘The job of purchasing agent for the state board of administration is wing. Onder the rules of the board the purchasing agent has general super- vision of all purchases made by or for the state institutions which the board controls. In the past, however, some institu- tions, particularly those of an educa- tional nature, have arranged to pur- chase some things and referred the purchases to the board for approval. But J. E. Davis, new chairman of the board, believes the system should be changed. He wants the purchasing nt to act for all institutions in ‘1 matters. As a result he has in- sisted that requisitions and requests for the purchase of equipment and supplies be referred to the purchasing agent for approval before the board | p, acts on them. This applies even to such items as chemical supplies, lab- oratory equipment and musical in- struments. Answering the objection that the purchasing agent can be expected to know little about technical subjects, Davis replied, “He can learn. It is well for him to have the experience and to gain the that ex- amination into these things will give him. It will make him more valuable to the boand.” ‘Business executives know that en- terprises succeed or-fail according to the manner in which details are handled,” Davis said. “Most the introduction of minor which, in the aggregate, make a bus- iness successful. The same thing holds true of state business.” It is Davis’ idea that the new sys- tem will have a good effect upon the business of all state institutions.

Y.—To write of Mrs, Henrietta R. D: ancial suc- cess would be casy, for she is an outstanding figure in a generation of successful women, who in less than a decade, has turned a small surgical supply business valued at. $57,000, to one for which $1,800,- 000 has just been offered. And she is a charming woman, with a delightful manner, a smart hair-cut, and an air of prosperity and assurance, and a directness that make her just the right type for the successful business woman. But the rest of her story is not 80 happy or so easy to write. For behind her smiling face is hidden the heartbreaking struggle of this suc-| chievement. is now asking the old ques- tion, “What's the use of it all? What is the use of gold if it es- tranges you from the person for whom you have struggled? What value has it if it cannot give you and those you love happiness, and a chance to forget your sorrows?” For during the cight years she has been building up the business, her husband has been in prison. It has always been her plan to sell the factory when she had made enough for herself and husband and her two sons, and then, as soon as he was released from his cell, could all go away and start life over again. That was the incentive that brought her early to her desk and cessful Sh accumulated wi 5 Husband Blocks Plan Now Davis has shattered all that. From his cell at Dannemora prison, he has brought a suit to restrain e sale of the business, although a purchascr is all ready, and has announced he intends to take it over when he is released, has turned against the wife who has bet ded him, reared his two sons, and given them a substantial background and made his business | one of the largest surgical supply houses in the world. “It was for his sake that I toil- ed, as much as for my own,” she said. “I wanted to make it possible for all of us to i away and live happily and comfor' was free. “My one sey has always. been —T'l stick by this thing—I'll make it succeed. Then, when Charlic is free, we will go away and forget, and be happy with our children. That was the object of all these years of work and effort. “But what is the use? The fear that ruined life festing itself, and thi fears even me.” Has “Fear Complex” It was fear that caused: Davis to shoot and kill Detective Joseph Bridgette and wound two other de-| tectives who called at his factory eight years ago. It was fear that had made him go about for years armed as if for battle; that made him carry a shotgun and a piece of lead pipe in his automobile when tide inthe: park. “prompted Nin ri in prot ‘in to have all his suits made with a special pocket for a revolver so he could draw it in lit second.

But Davis was scarcely that. Shoots Three Officers He refused to see the officers the first time they called, saying he was busy. The second visit brought the same response, Fin- ally they forced their way into Davis’ office. Davis snatched up the revolver that always lay on his desk, shot Detective Bridgette, and sounded the siren. He wounded the other two detectives. Bridgette died almost instantly, but the others re- covered. Davis was sent to jail pending his trial. Every day Mrs. Davis vis- ited the prison and talked to him through the grating. She told him she would carry on the business and that nothing would destroy her faith jin hi im. Her friends told her to leave Brooklyn, that she did not. have a chance to succeed with the handi cap but she was determined. He turned over his share of the busi- ness to her and she became the own- er and manager of the Davis and Geck Company—a business they had started in their cellar on a capital of $509 and which had grown to a fair paying proposition. At his trial Davis was declared insanc—a paranoiac, suffering from delusions, and he was committed to Matteawn Hospital: During the two summers he was there, Mrs. Davis moved herself and their chil- kept her there Inte at night as she |aren. to a cottage nearby, and saw him every day, Is Declared Sane Two years later, state alienists declared Davis sane, and he was tried for murder. After six hours the jury declared him guilty of first degree manslaughter. The judge gave him the maximum penalty of from 10 to 20 years, and declared there was no excuse for a man of his intelligence and culture being in- volved in such a case. He was sent Dannemora prison. His wife con- isit him there—as often would tinued to re as penitentiary regulations permit. A She wrote him daily, telling him about the business, and giving him the support of a loyal, devoted wife. Recently, Davis apvlied for a dis- charge, and’ wrote to his wife that upon his release he expected to take over the business again. Then he started his suit to forbid the sale ;and recover the management, despite her desire to go away and begin life over again. “His inability to do this is ob- vious,” Mrs. Davis says. “He has frequently sent ex-convicts to me, and urged me to take them into He asked me to make a man, convicted three times of forgery. the treasurer of the com- pany. He is totally unfitted to take over what has grown into a large industry and wreck it. “I could never have made _ this business a success, or have faced these eight years, if it had not been for the loyal support and coopera- tion of our 200 employes whose jobs would be at stake.

The system, with slight modifica. tion, has been found valuable in the control of the kidney worm of swinc, widely prevalent in the south. The adults of this worm live in the fatty tissues surrounding the kidneys. Before arriving at this location, however, the embryo worms take an {extended tour throughout the body of the host, causing great damage. Another parasite in swine is the lungworm. Like the roundworm, it attacks the young pigs ata time when they are least able to withstand its harmful effects. It results in coughs, retarded development, permanent stunting and even in death. The thorny-headed worm, Dr. Wright said, also has defied practical solution. The worm larvae encyst in white grubs which, when they develop into beetles or in their grub form, are eaten by the swine. FLAMES IN FORESTS ROLL ON UNCHECKED AND NO RAIN IN SIGHT Twenty-Mile Winds Fan Fires; May be Running Wild by Tonight, Is Threat St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 3.—(#)—For- est fires in Minnesota and Wisconsin became more menacing today as a to fan forest fires near Wabeno, Wis., and lack of rain. Predictions that the fire in Super- j tor national forest would be “running wild” by tonight were made by E. W. Tinker, Milwaukee, United States dis- trict forester. A strong northwest wind threatened to fan forest fires near Wabena, Wis., beyond control. Rain which started late yesterday stopped early in the evening, the precipitation being neg- ligible. In Superior national forest the flames were somewhat checked this morning because of a light rainfall, but a 20 mile an hour northwest wind offset this advantage. Tinker, who came to Superior na- tional forest yesterday to take charge of the situation, said the fires are the most severe that have swept the for- est in the last 15 years. He estimated the flames have burned over an area of between 10,000 and 12,000 acres of cutover timber land, mostly slashings. Had sufficient rain fallen last night, the army of 1,500 forest fire fighters in the two states hoped to bring the blaze under complete control. OWEN I. HAUGLAND TAKES HIS LAST HOP Funeral Services Are Held at Springfield for Unsuccess- ful Endurance Flyer Springfield, Minn., Aug. 3.—(7)— Owen I. Haugland had taken off on his last “hop” today. The man who lost his life when his endurance record seeking plane cracked up at Wold-Chamberlain air- port last Monday, was buried at noon today in the Springfield cemetery. A final tribute to the Buffalo, Minn., flyer who tried unsuccessfully more than five times to set an endur- ance record, was paid by Thorwald (Thunder) Johnson, St. Paul. John- son, flying the refueling ship “Ace High,” used during the fatal flight, swooped low over the grave as the coffin was being lowered into the grave and dropped a wreath of flow- ers. The body was brought here from Buffalo, where funeral services were conducted. Citizens of that commun- ity and Springfield paid their last to the dead flyer at his bier today while a firing squad from the John Watson post of the American Legion, and the Orpheus band partici- pated in the services. ‘The Masonic lodge and the Rev.

The truck, property of the Hilder- brecht Ice Cream company, upset at Lamberton and Cass streets as the driver attempted to make a sharp turn to avoid a collision. A crowd, composed mostly of youngsters at- tracted by the spilled ice cream, gath- ered around the overturned truck. While @ wrecking crew worked over the vehicle, an unidentified man re- moved the cap from the gasoline tank. The fuel flowed over the heated mo- tor and exploded, showering flaming liquid upon the crowd that had gath- ered. Cries of the victims aroused the neighborhood. a crowded tenement | district. Uninjured bystanders stopped | the children as they ran with burn- ing clothes and beat out the flames. | Parents rushed about, seeking their children while hastily summoned au- tomobiles and ambulances carried the more severely injured to the hospitals.

Thorpe, Minneap- olis member of the board, said to- day on his return from the national capitol. The bids were rejected, he said, bee cause they were considered entirely too high, exceeding the estimated cost. Thorpe invited the board to hold its next session in Minneapolis.
