Actually the scanty advertiser gets a smaller rate of return than this average, while the big ones gets an in- crease much greater. Stech studied the use of 27 brands of bond paper by printers. He learned the percentage fa- millar with each brand, the per- centage who tried out each one, and the percentage who became regular users, ITALY IS FIRED BY NEW INCIDENTS IN AFRICAN SITUATION sion’ Seized Upon as Rea- sons for Anger Rome, July 11—(P)—Italian offi- clals fired the nation to new anger Thursday with publication of reports of two more incidents of “Ethiopian aggression.” ‘An official communique said the Italian consul at Harrar, Ethiopia, was “insulted and menaced” July 6, and an Eritrean soldier attached to the consulate was clubbed and stoned by 20 Ethiopians. A protest was lodged at Addis Ababa. The government spokesman hast- ened to give assurance that the new incidents, though “demonstrative of the increasing intolerable Ethiopian in- fluence,” will not necessarily set a spark to the East African powder Authoritative sources said that, al- thotigh Ttaly was aroused further, it will not permit itself to be stampeded imto a-campaign until it is ready. Ask Virtual Protectorate Informed circles disclosed that the Italian ambassador to London, Dino Grandi, has been. conferring with Jo- DEMOCRATS SEEK 10 RESTORE PROVISION WRITTEN BY HOUSE Would Use Money Collected From Tariff to Finance Agricultural Sales COTTON PLAN IS APPROVED Party Lines Shattered aé Sol- ons Debate How Best to Help American Farmer Washington, July 11—(4)—The ex- port debenture plan, center of many congressional disputes in the past, was advanced Thursday by Senator Connally (Dem.-Tex.) as the admin- istration’s AAA amendments neared their crucial test in the senate. He offered an amendment to re- store the export bounty plan which was in the bill as it passed the house but which was eliminated by the sen- ate finance committee. Under his proposal 30 per cent of money collected in tariffs would be available for benefit payments on ex- ported basic agricultural products, ‘The money could be used to supple- ment and reduce processing taxes. “The purpose of the amendment is to encourage the exportation of agri- cultural products for the purpose of reducing the domestic surplus and in- creasing the domestic prices,” Con- nally said. Without Record Vote Without discussion or a record vote, the senate adopted a committee amendment extending for another crop year the Bankhead cotton con- trol act. Although the fight shattered party lines, Democratic leaders led the way as they challenged critics to propose a better way to raise farm prices than that now in use. Opponents called it “complete regimentation of the American people.” Senator Robinson, the floor leader; led the defense of AAA Wednesday with the assertion that it had “ac- complished the fundamental for which it was designed.” “If anyone here—and I don’t care what his politics—can find a way of stabilizing prices without controlling Production,” he shouted, “he will do @ favor to this country and to the world if he will bring forward his plan now.” Dare Not Abandon J¢ seph A. C. Avenol, League of Nations secretary general. Officials said it was quite likely Grandi expounded Italian demands for a virtual protectorate over Ethi- opia as Italy’s last effort to avoid a war of occupation. Until the results of Grandi’s con- versations and England’s eventual at- titude in the dispute become known, it was pointed out, Italy still hopes for carte blanche right to enter Ethiopia with mandatory power. ‘The official spokesman called Ethi- opia’s latest appeal to the League of Nations another “useless attempt” to prolong league influence over the cont Premier Benito Mussolini! held a BRITISH TAKE STAND AGAINST AGGRESSION Hoare, foreign secretary, declared be- fore the house of commons Thursday that he did not feel Italy's need for expansion and complaints against Ethiopia were sufficient cause for plunging into war.

Quickly jumping into the al Senator King (Dem. Utah), asserte that the bill containing the amend- ments was full of “subtle, misleading. non-understandable language” and was “a scheme for nullifying the rights of individuals.” Senators Borah (Rep. Idaho), and Byrd (Dem. Va.), proposed a dozen or more amendments to strike out major features of the legislation. Sen- ator Vandenberg (Rep. Mich.), at- tacked the senate agricultural com- mittee’s action in eliminating a house provision which would have increased tariffs to offset increases in costs of Production. The bill is designed to revise the agricultural adjustment act in line with the supreme court’s NRA deci- sion. GRAIN DEALERS OPPOSE LIMITS ON PRODUCTION Chicago, July 11.—(#)—A fact-find- commission of the Farmers Na- tional Grain Dealers association Thursday aligned itself against limi- tations of production and pegging Prices of agricultural commodities. EXPECT EARLY DECISION ON AAA CONSTITUTIONALITY Washington, July 11.—(?)—Govern- ment lawyers predicted a supreme expansion, but that still such need was insufficient for hostilities. He pledged that England would not “any reasonable chance which may offer itself for helping Prevent a disastrous war.” Sir Samuel refused to divulge the lators that there was no foundation for rumors that the government had asked the French to join a blockade against Italy or that Great Britain was preparing “some isolated form of coercion.” He said Great Britain was willing to accept her full share of collective responsibility and fidelity to the League of Nations and its principles. Meanwhile it was revealed that the government had held up licenses per- mitting the export of arms to Ethi- opia. Denmark was understood to have taken similar action. SPECIAL SESSION OF LEAGUE IN PROSPECT Geneva, July 11.— (®) — League of Nations circles said Thursday a spe- cial council session probably will be called within three weeks as a result of Ethiopia’s urgent appeal for action in its controversy with Italy. The session was regarded as of ma- jor importance, both as to the future of the league and of Europe, because of its possible repercussions. Burglars Get Only 12 Cents From Safe Lankin, N.

Paul, July 11—@)—Storm and heat claimed four more victims in the northwest Thursday. Lightning bolts killed two farmers and a Minneapolis girl died from the shock of sudden lion in cold water when she sought relief in the bathtub from oppressive heat. The dead: George Mertesdorf, farmer two miles north of Vernon Center, struck by lightning W . Charles Reece, Jr. 29, struck by a bolt which also killed four horses while he worked in his father's barn five miles north of Wadena. Oscar Schmeichel, 55, succumbed i an Ortonville hospital after being overcome by heat. Dorothy Otte, 15, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August E. Otte, Minneapos lls, died in a hospital after fainting in the bathtub. A neighbor and firemen saved the Otte girl from drowning, her to consciousness, but physicians a Deaconess hospital failed to keep her heart beating. Larkin Is Improved, Physicians Report Ben C. Larkin, chairman of the state board of railroad commissioners, was materially improved Thursday but still is unable to receive visitors. His physicians said he will recover.
