THE OSHKOSH NORTHWESTERN, FRIDAY, APRIL. 20, 1934 SUBMARGINAL LAND LOCATED IN THREE REGIONS OF NATION Government Makes Study of Abandoned Farms, Erosion, and Other Causes of Farm Failure Washington, D. ginal lands 'are located in three principal areas, the Appalachian and Piedmont regions extending from New England into the south, cut-over lands bordering the Great Lakes, and the dry regions along the western border of the great plains. Good land, however, is to be found in all these areas, and submarginal lands may be found scattered through the best farming districts. "Abandoned farms" began appearing years ago.

Studies of 13 hill towns. or townships, in Vermont, show a declining population in some instances as early as 1830, and a general decline since the civil war. OVER FOUND In some sections studies disclose over-population with respect to natural resources. This pressure of population, land economists say, has resulted in attempts use land totally unfitted for farming, and to over -cropping, deforestation and erosion. Public ownership in these regions.

EXTENT OF POOR LAND Abandoned western farms are a difficult problem. Plowed up to crops during the war, they now are seeded to cultivated grasses with difficulty, and reseeding by the wild grasses which formerly grew there for grazing is extremely slow.

How much submarginal land there is no one knows exactl. However, the last census showed that of the nation's six million farms in 1929 only about half produced more than $1,000 worth of farm products. EROSION, IMPOVERISHMENT Much submarginal land owes its condition to wind or water erosion. The of chemistry and soils says 35,000,000 acres of crop land are idle because of erosion, that approximately 125,000.000 acres still in crops have lost most of their top soil and that another 100,000,000 acres are rapidly approaching that condition. WAUPACA COUNTY MAN KILLS SELF WITH GUN Waupaca, (Special) -Approximately one year after his son, in a fit of depression, had ended his own life.

Edward Guyant, 75. prominent town of Belmont farmer, shot himself this morning between 9 and 10 o'clock on his own front lawn. The young daughter of Peter Jensen, a neighbor, witnesesd the shooting as she was walking along the highway and immediately notifled Marcellus Barton, another neighbor. Barton, in turn, notified Sheriff Hanson who went to the Guyant farm. Mr.

Guyant had lived by himself since the death of his son, Borden, who committed suicide shortly after his wife had died, leaving him to care for three small children. No reason for the suicide today could be given. Guyant was dead when the sheriff and neighbors arrived, shot from the gun having penetrated his heart. Mr. Guyant is survived by one son, Allen of the town of Belmont, and two daughters, Mrs.

Clayton Smith of Iola and Mrs. Oscar Kraiese of Weyauwega. Funeral arrangements had not been completed today.

(Associated Press Photo) FRENCH DISCOVER THAT TARIFF RUINS TRADE IN PAPERS Cigaret Wrappers That Used to Circle the Globe Becoming Surplus on the Local Market -French exporters are preparing to do some heavy protesting over one of the lightest things in the world cigaret paper. They say that if the United States persists in its quota war, half the cigaret paper manufacturing trade of France--that is, proportion whose market has been in America- -will be ruined. CENTURY OLD More than a century old, the cigaret paper business was a great source of revenue to this country before the world war. In its heyday--before 1929 exports of this flimsy necessity mounted 000 tons a year, enough to roll, or manufacture, 500 billion cigarets.

Cowboys rolled their "bull" with French cigaret paper. It enfolded the aromatic cigarets of Cuba and the more robust weed of Fiji. White and brown butts, whose last stand against decay was paper made in France, lined the trails of the Andes, dotted the tea-lands of Ceylon, lay forgotten in the snows of Siberia. In those days the French trade virtually had no competition. Just before the war more 70 per cent of the world consumption of was French, and this margin grew for a certain time after the war, despite the advent of com- petition.

PROTECTION 100 PER CENT The U. S. duty now, it is pointed out, is 60 per cent ad which, with the added 40 per cent representing the loss in exchange, makes a protection of a flat 100 per cent. American factories, it is said, are turning out an article which is certainly much cheaper. New factories threaten to rise and swamp the domestic market, exporters hear; in other words.

soon there will be no market for French paper. FOUR TIMES TWO Harrison, are the rule in the family of Mr. and Mrs. Evan Sayer. Mrs.

ART INVADES RED SCHOOLHOUSE, BY MEANS OF CWA Gone Are the Resolutely Colored Lithographs of Plump Damsels, Bruno, and Little Nell, of Yore Miami, -The little red schoolhouse is in process of glorification. Gone are the resolutely colored lithographs of plump damsels swathed in mosquito netting and pictures of Bruno and Little Nell to which grandfather's eyes used to stray as he wrestled with "readin' 'ritin' and 'rithmetic." In their places are ruggedly honest paintings of the hired man bringing in the hay or the hired girl milking old Bossie. UNDER NEW DEAL Invasion of art into the nation's schoolhouses is part of the CWA program under the new deal, according, to of Herman the United Oliphant, States gentreasury.

At the temporary White house headquarters. at the Miami-Biltmore hotel here while President Roosevelt fished in Bahaman waters, Oliphant described the new deal in American art which has put 2,500 impecunious painters to work depicting typical American life for the schoolhouses, libraries and public bwldings of the country. WITHIN REACH OF MASSES It's the beginning, he says of a $9.98 era" in American art that will put good paintings within reach of the masses. And the artist who once was just "that queer duck" of farm community has become the town hero overnight. He has a job and shortly his work will hang in the community library or the schoolhouse.

Given opportunity to "express itself in terms of the life it knows and understands. America is developing a virile and rugged art of its own," says Oliphant. DOUBLE YOLK LAYER Bend, white leghorn pullet which lays only double yoked eggs is owned by Mrs. L. E.

Members of the park board allowed bills among other minor matters before the meeting. READY TO SETTLE THE QUESTION AS TO WHO IS AUSTRIAN DICTATOR (By Wade Werner, Associated Press Foreign Staff.) Vienna Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss, a flyweight fighter who packs the political wallop of a giant, is ready to settle at once any question about who's dictator in Austria.

The five-foot chancellor has decided, his friends said today, that three dictators make two too many for Austria--and he doesn't include Dollfuss among the extras. So, it was revealed, Chancellor Dollfuss means to insist that the fascist heimwehr headed by his two principal coworkers, Prince Ernst von Starhemberk and Vice Ccahcellor Fey, be absorbed in Dollfuss' "fatherland front." That achieved, the chancellor will demand strict adherence to his leadership. What will happen to the prince and Fey appears problematical. Unofficially, it was said Von Starhemberg would become vice chancellor. These sources believed if that occurred, Fey would become minister of defense or else pass out of the cabinet picture completely.

COMPANY, IN EFFECT, VIRTUALLY INVITES NRA PROSECUTION Milwaukee -(A)- The Milwaukee Electric company formally declined to accept findings of a private tribunal set up by the national labor board to hear complaints that some company employes were dismissed because of union activity. The company, in effect, invited prosecution for alleged violation of labor provisions of the NRA. Three members of the tribunal which investigated complaints submitted three diverse findings. The company, in a telegram to the national labor board, said it does not recognize the tribunal. "We shall expect the national labor board to reach its own conclusions," the telegram said.

"As the purpose of the inquiry for which the evidence was taken was to enable your board to determine whether a prosecution would be recommended, we cannot seek by mediation to compromise or suppress possible action by the attorney general" All employes of the company are members of a socalled "company union" established many years ago. Efforts of some workers to establish unions affiliated with the American Federation of Labor recently led to threats of a utilities strike. The strike was called off after intercession by the labor board.

SIAM'S KING AND QUEEN HONORED IN SPECIAL AUDIENCE Pope Pleased With Announce- mant That Catholic Church Has 35,000 Subjects in Far-Off Land (By Thomas B. Morgan, United Press Staff Correspondent) Vatican -King Prajadhipok of Siam has 35,000 Catholic subjects. This fact aroused undisguised pleasure in Vatican City when his majesty, accompanied by the queen of Siam, recently was received in special audience by the pope. Four automobiles belonging to Vatican City drew up at the door of the Ambasasdor hotel.

The king and queen of Siam, accompanied by papal functionaries, drove to the Vatican. MILITARY RESPECTS At the ingress of papal territory, that is, by the belfry of St. Peter's, automobiles enter Vatican chere, platoon of Swiss guards and a half company of papal carabineers rendered military honors to the Oriental sovereigns. The quarter of a mile of road which leads from the belfry to the courtyard of St. Damascus was lined with soldiers of the Palatine Guard, who presented arms as the royalties passed.

The king of Siam wore a full dress suit, and her majesty was dressed in black with the usual lace mantilla. CEREMONIES A Roman prince, Prince Ruspoli, the papal master of the sacred palaces, received the Siamese royalties on their arrival, opening the door of car and bowing low. During the audience only the holy father and the king and queen were present. Siam has a population of 12 millions, and of the 35,000 Catholics, 25,000 are Chinese. The Siamese Catholic missions date back as far as the middle of the Sixteenth century, when Franciscan and Dominican communities were founded.

MISSINB BOOKS OF CARNEGIE LIBRARY FOUND BY SLEUTH Detective Whose Mysteries Are Bound Volumes That Disappear Usually Succeeds in Finding Them Sayenga is a detective who never has had to solve a murder mystery, but who often has been called upon to find one. He is official "book returner" for Carnegie library here, the and he finds it necessary to resort to devious means to get some volumes back. Returning borrowed books often takes some high-class sleuthing, but Sayenga always gets his book. MANY METHODS There are many ways of permanently borrowing volumes from the library, but officials are reluctant to disclose them. People might get ideas, they said.

One man, who was building his own library at the expense of the public one, had five cards in five names at five different addresses. Sayenga became a handwriting expert in comparing the cards and got most of the books back. College students are others that help to keep Sayenga employed. Fraternity houses are excellent places in which to lose books and most college men are so busy that they don't have time to remember such small things as library bor- rowings. BEING REMEDIED That situation is being remedied, however.

Carnegie Tech refuses to graduate a man against whom the library has a claim, and it is derstood that university of Pittsburgh officials that their charges return borrowed books, Usually Sayenga finds that the borrower has "lost" the missing volume, although some persons have a disturbing habit of moving, bag. baggage, and books, and leaving no forwarding address. The book sleuth is a good tracer, however.

Foreign rights are strictly reserved by The Atlantic Monthly.) (The kaiser gave an indiscreet interview to an American newspaper man in 1908. The German foreign office, according to the story, blue-penciled much of the dynamite.

The expurgated version was announced for publication in the December, 1908, Century Magazine. Before it appeared, however, the foreign office requested suppression, and sent a cruiser to New York to pick up the pages and consign them to the Davy Jones' locker. When the crates containing the sheets failed to sink, they were fished out and the copies fed to the flames. The "lost interview" is now published for the first (By Homer McCoy) Boston. Mass.

(AP) What the kaiser said to William Bayard Hale. journalist, that night in 1908-an international mystery for a quarter of a century--was revealed today. The famous "lost which caused so many headaches and SO much speculation, is presented in the May issue of The Atlantic Monthly magazine by William Harlan Hale, son of the man to whom Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany spoke so freely, and, as his country thought, so indiscreetly. This is the gist of the views expressed by the kaiser: The inevitable world crisis was a clash between Japan Occidental nations: East and west must meet, and the west must conquer. Great Britain was guilty of a sort of political miscegenation in allying herself with Japan.

War was necessary. War was Christian. Bible was full of fighting. The greatest soldiers were Christians. Theodore Roosevelt, then president of the United States, was his hero- -the dominating, militaristic leader he hoped he himself was.

The course of history was largely determined, not by the clashing of forces and economic trends. social, the deeds of great men and personalities. ON IMPERIAL YACHT Thus the kaiser spoke. It was one evening in July, 1908, that he consented to the interview by Hale, close friend of Theodore Roosevelt. meeting was on the imperial yacht, Hohenzollern, at anchor in the fiord of Bergen.

The Atlantic Monthly, Hale writes that the emperor voiced "the most amazingly indiscreet statements ever uttered by the head of a great ale nation." The world situation was precarious at that time. The firstrate powers were in a fine state of balance -like a mixture of chemicals, ready to explode with the addition of some catalytic substance -a rash speech for example. The Russo- war was three years past. Germany had come to a cross-roads and was a little off the path. She was carrying on a naval race with Great Britain, a military race with France.

The Algeciras, at which England. Russia and Italy had opposed the fatherland in agreeing to recognize the priority of French interests in Morocco, had left her somewhat of an Ishmael among nations. So, the German foreign office evidently believed that the kaiser had spoken too freely. DYNAMITE REMOVED Hale interview was to appethe in The Century Magazine, December, 1908. The German foreign office gave it a thorough editorial scouring, removing most of the dynamite.

Then, it was decided that the interview should be suppressed. It was, just before publication. The pages were yanked out, crated and stored in a warehouse. The German cruiser Bremen came to New York, loaded the crates aboard and, in midatlantic, tossed them overboard. The crates declined to sink and the Bremen lowered boats and took them aboard again.

Eight imperial German officers, according to the story, stripped and went down into the engine room and fed the printed pages to the fire boxes. The kaiser's first remarks concerned Theodore Roosevelt. "What a man he is!" the emperor told Hale. "Mr. Roosevelt is an inspiring example of the force of personality." William II then developed a thesis.

"It isn't genius the world needs, nor brilliancy, nor profound learning, half so much as personality. The big things in the world are always done by man-one man--one strong personality." Roosevelt, he declared, was "one of the greatest leaders of men the world has ever seen." CIVILIZATION AT STAKE The Asiatic situation was the em- peror's chief theme. "Everybody knows what must come to pass between Asia and the west, the yellow race and the white," he said. "We are unworthy of our fathers if we are negligent of the sacred duty of preserving the civilization which they have achieved for us and the religion which God has given us." He thought the Japanese had been overestimated as fighters: They were too small in stature. "We know this much about him (the Javanese)," the kaiser declared.

"He hates the white man worse than the white man hates the devil. The Japanese are devils, that's a simple fact. They are devils!" Consolidation of the east constituted the chief threat to Occidental security, he said, adding that it was the particular duty of the white races to prevent Japan from "swallowing China." The kaiser said a new treaty among white nations was necessary to preserve China's integrity, and Great Britain should not be a party to it. "England traitor the white man's cause," asserted. "If that alliance of theirs with Japan is persisted in, I don't see how the British empire can be saved from dismemberment." (The Anglo- Japanese alliance was terminated some years ago.) Australia and New Zealand had invited the American fleet to visit their shores as a warning to homeland that they had in the United States "a friend who understands white man's duty better than the mother country seems to understand it," continued the emperor.

And, he added, President Roosevelt had sent the fleet with that understanding. 'MOST LOGICAL' The most logical combination of nations to act as "big brother" to China the kaiser said, was that of the United States and Germany. He had discussed this matter with Roosevelt, he said, and Roosevelt had agreed. "Some fine day the world will wake up and read a quiet little agreement between Germany and the United States declaring that we guarantee Chinese sovereignty over Chinese territory declared the emperor. "O-ho! I wonder what my friends across the channel will say to that." Here, Hale reports, the kaiser gutfawed and executed a dance step on the deck.

Religion was the next subject. Hale makes this comment: "Clearly he esteems himself a lord with spiritual as well as temporal responsibility." The kaiser expressed dislike for the Roman Catholic faith, on the ground that it subordinated Jesus. William II concluded with a eulogy on the white race. His shoulders squared, his eyes flashed, writes Hale. "The future belongs to the white race, never fear," the emperor exclaimed.

"It belongs to the AngloTeuton, the man who came from northern Europe--where you to whom America belongs came fromthe home of the German RED HEART Dog Food OFFERS THREE DIETS DIET A -A meat food product with cereal and vegetables; beef added.
