YOUTHS AWARDED LIVESTOCK PRIZES Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois and lowa Feeders Get Chicago Ribnons. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 30.—The pick of North America's herds and fields went on display today as the annual International Stock and Grain Show began its assault on records set in 36 predecessor parades of farm plenty. With 12,500 of the sleekest cattle, horses, hogs and sheep of the conti- nent on view, first contests in the new stock yards amphitheater brought a ! sheaf of blue ribbons to youthful feed- ers from the Cora Belt States of Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa. As the judges went expertly over their pampered pets toward selecting the grand champions, these young cattlemen received ccagratulations for ranking entries in various divisions of the junior live stock feeding contest: Homer Graber, Mineral Point, Wis., for best Hereford steer, 750 to 875 pounds. Prize for Best Shorthorn. William Anderson, West Liberty, | Ind., for best shorthorn, 750 to 875 | pounds. Dean Morgan, Aledo, Ill, for best Aberdeen-Angus, 750 to 875 pounds. Robert Graber, Mineral Point, Wis., for best Hereford, 875-1,000 pounds. Vincent Baker, Edmond, Wis., for best shorthorn, 875-1,000 pounds. | Jowans scored heavily in second and | third places. James Padget, Kellerville, Ill, for best Aberdeen Angus, 875-1,000 pounds. An early first-place winner among the farm girls was Maxine Quacken- bush of Sharpsville, Ind.,, with a pen of three lambs. Illinois, for the first time in the history of the event, claimed the tro- phy of President Roosevelt when Wil- liam E. Hamilton, 20, of Good Hope, was adjudged national achievement champion among the 400,000 boys enrolled in the Four-H Club work. The similar trophy for girls went to 17-year-old Romayne Tate of Para- | grould, Ark. | The awards to the pair opened the national Four-H Club Congress. held annually each year with the Inter- national Stock Show. Leadership Trophies Awarded. Its H. A. Moses Trophy for leader- | ship among boys went to Viley John- son, 19, McAlester, Okla. and to Betty Brown, 19, of Emporia, Kans., for the girls. | All Four-H Club winners had im- | pressive records in their organiza- tional activities. Forty-four States and five Canadian provinces sent entries to the stock show. Its international character was emphasized by competition from the Prince of Wales, who as Farmer David Windsor of Alberta has eight prige-winning shorthorns in the run- ning for championship honors. Grain growers from as far as New Zealand seek the show’s accolade of perfection. SPEAKER UPHOLDS TRADE UNIONISM| Industrial Plan Not Soon to Be Embraced, Declares Ali- fas on Radio. Tt will be a long time—if ever— before the principle of industrial unionism supplants craft organization, N. P. Alifas, president of District 44, International Association of Machin- ists, said in a radio address over WJSV yesterday. “Under the laws of the American Federation of Labor trade unionism cannot be displaced except by a two- thirds vote,” he said, “and it will take a long time, if indeed the time ever comes, when those who advocate that industrial unions shall supplant trade unions will be able to double their voting strength at an American Federation of Labor convention.” Pointing to the discussion over this organizing principle stirred recently, Alifas said “anti-union employers doubtless hope they will profit by this division of opinion. We hope to dis- appoint them by maintaining the status quo fields that are now organ- ized, and confine the dispute as to type of organization to those indus- tries that are not now organized.” Alifas called upon Government workers to line up with organized la- bor, emphasizing a united front will be necessary because “political and economic weather prophets are fore- casting an economy wave for the/ forthcoming session of Congress.” .

Paris to New York ‘Overseas Phone Customers Have to Be Spendthrifts Conversation Cost W. C. Durant, Financier, $1,327. - Many Pay High. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 30.—The | call up Mussolini and then went away from the telephone without so much as an “excuse it, please,” was a piker compared to some of the past and present clients of the telephone com- pany's overseas service. Harold Ross, editor of the maga- zine New Yorker, once gave a stag | with a telephone extension and told | | to call up anybody he chose. Charlie MacArthur, fun-loving play- wright, promptly put in a call to King | Fuad of Egypt. What's more, he got | him out of bed with the telephone | king for six minutes about this and | that. However, the telephone company’s overseas service—which handles calls to places as far away as Sydney, Aus- tralia—has found a ready patron in W. C. Durant, the financier. Mr. Durant holds the record pay- ment for a single call—$1,527.50 for 94 minutes from Paris to his New | York broker in October, 1928. A short time before that, he had talked from | Berlin to New York, but got tired and | stopped after 61 minutes. The longest call on record is that | made by a man in New York in March, 1931, who talked to Paris for 110 | minutes. The telephone company this month was all excited over an apparent new record in the making when another New Yorker called Santiago, Chile, and was still going strong after the first hour and a half. But the man said goodby after only 98 minutes with a bill of but $1,078. The 48 woman operators of the overseas boards have in the eight years of the system’s existence plugged together conversations that have had some very satisfactory results, from their point of view. Once an agent of an American phonograph company in London was | much impressed with a couple of Brit- | ish song hits. He telephoned Victor [Young, the orchestra leader, in New York, and hummed the tunes. Young got the melodies all right, | feverishly arranged and scored them and had records made. Within | hours they were on their way back to London. Then in December, 1933, a Flint, Mich., auto worker, Bertil Hjalmar Clason married the girl of his dreams, Sigrid Sofia Margareta Carlzon, via the trans-Atlantic telephone. He was in Detroit, with Common Pleas Judge Knight says his hens sign off with the . S8 letter “K” on the eggs they lay. The | initial, he told inquirers, is not always | § perfect, but is distinctly visible on each egg. Malaya has placed a special tax on Diesel-engined vehicles.

Best, who, from London, talked to Miss Catherine Wallace in Cleveland —A. P. Photos. daughter Ruth, but instead got to talking to Mr. Frank J. Gilmore, a married business man of Yuma, Ariz. Mr. Gilmore, when asked if he en- Jjoyed married life, said, “Sure, what of it?” and hung up. Then there was the Swedish young man who lived in Toronto and had saved just enough money to call up his mother in Sweden to wish her a merry Christmas. When the connec- tion was completed, he was so over- come that he sobbed steadily for the three minutes. The telephone com- pany felt sorry about that and let him talk to his mother for five minutes on the company. The supervisors wish that some one would please telephone Iceland. They completed that hook-up three weeks ago and so far nobody has asked to talk to Iceland. for half an hour before he said “yes.” London newspapers, once they get wrought up about something, often use the trans-Atlantic telephone for first-hand information. Last May one of them called up Miss Mary McElroy, daughter of Kan- |sas City's city manager, to ask her | why she asked the court to give mercy to Walter McGee, one of her convicted kidnapers. Miss McElroy said the English journalist kept running up I the toll by breaking in every now and then to remark, “‘strawdinry.” Wrath, rather than love or curiosity or business, inspired the call of Tim | Godde last August from London to | Port Chester, N. Y. Mr. Godde spent | 863 telling Edward J. Hughes, news- | paper editor, protesting a reference to | Mr. Godde as “a bank clerk.” The next day Editor Hughes ran another story saying Mr. Godde was not a bank clerk. The telephone overseas service being new and inspirational is not at all hard-hearted. | A lady in Dunkirk, Long Island, re- cently was startled to be called to the phone by the London operator. When 1“ was straightened out, it was found | that the caller wanted to talk to Dun- kirk, France. The phone company didn't count that one, and they didn't count the one in 1930 when a London newspaper thought it was calling up Douglas Gilmore, the bridegroom of Tom Mix’s [CORNER CABINETS Eiginger M and Lumber Co.,Ine.

Five days after President Roosevelt took office, Hollister said in a radio broadcast sponsored by the Republi- can National Committee, the Secre- tary of the Treasury called in all pri- vately owned gold and gold certifi- cates.

While these measures were put through, Hollister said, the adminis- tration had “carried on the greatest peace-time spending orgy in the his- tory of the world.” “Each year,” he said, “the Presi- dent postpones for another year or two the budget balancing which he | promised the year before. “This vast expenditure in excess of revenue is closely allied with the cur- rency problem because it brings closer and closer the danger of inflation.
