defenseless- ness when all the world is to the utmost was voiced by Ray Murphy of Ida Grove, Armistice day speaker at the American Legion memorial service in Memorial Union. Wednesday morning. Mr. Murphy, who is past. Iowa department commander and was a candidate for the office of na- Uonal commander of the Legion at Detroit, spoke forcefully on behalf of world peace, but saw little to hope for it in the near future with many of the great powers armed as never before, and war actually in progress in one part of the world.

He cited Germany, fretting un- the terms of Versailles, and with a highly organized internal police force and a great standing army behind it; Italy with great armaments, under the rule of an absolute dictator who scoffs at world peace: England, still mistress of the France supporting the world's largest army and air force, and with an augmented navy, building vassal elates in Europe to support her; Japan, with a great army, navy and air force, actually carrying on war against China, threatening a world-wide conflict; and many smaller nations armed, alert, as never before. Warns of Russia Particularly did Mr. Murphy warn of Russia and its commun-1 ism. its great army, its vast re-' serve manpower, engendering universal hatred and spreading its propaganda of hate toward all capitalistic powers and peoples thruout the world. He declared that nothing but barm ran come from the barrage of bitter and poisonous lia tred that communists are scattering over the world.

Yet, later in his address.

The brief message received from the Swan said that the 11 men were alive. It added that they were a part of the crew of the Costa Rican steamship Baden Baden. The commander of the Swan said he would forward details later.

Pilot Frank Ormsbee of the Pan-American Airways, first sighted the eleven castaways Saturday, drifting helplessly on the sea, which was so high he was unable to land his craft and rescue them. He flew on to his 'lase and radioed his company at New York to send advices to steamships in that area to watch for the group floating on a raft. N. C. Nelson, passenger on Ormsbee's plane, told reporters at Miami Wednesday that they flew 10 feet above the castaways, who to them.

B. Paddock state apiarist in the extension service, Iowa State college, discovers that it developed from a custom centurlet old. Many years ago, he says, it was tradition tor newly-married couples to serve honey to guests for a period immediately following tHeir marriage. So the term "honeymoon" and the use of "honey" as a word of endearment grew up. Mr.

Paddock has dug up this fact and others as interesting in the course of research in preparation for national honey week, Nov. 9 to 14.

For an hour and 20 minutes each of the aspirants for the husking title will work in the field on Carl Wilhelm's farm near here. Each of them will toss into his wagon approximately a ton of husked corn. The Wilhelm crop, nursed carefully since spring for the national corn derby, will yield about 60 bushels to the acre. There will be no defending chain- aion iu the meet. Fred Stanek of Iowa, last year's winner, will not attempt this year to retain his crown.

Minnesota huskers probably will show better than heir previous mark because they have worked in small corn. Representatives from Kansas nd Nebraska were expected to be more formidable this year because both those states last year's champions were dethroned. Iowa's entries are Lee Carey of and E.

H. Hendricks of Dike. Carey, altho this is his first national competition, is a veteran of state meets. Hendricks has a consistent record this year. When Gov.

Here in the new money capital of the world, there is a new enthusiasm and a conviction that good times are coming soon. Perhaps it is premature, for New York is subject to quickly changing moods. But whether warranted or not the feeling exists.

Four factors are most often suggested to account for this upswing in morale: 1. Increasing stability of commodity prices together with recent spectacular rises in wheat, cotton, oil and security prices. One authority, handling large financial operations in -wheat predicts a rise to a level of 80 or S5 cents a bushel during the winter. 2. Deflation of production costs down to the point where lower prices are possible ot finisfied goods or services.

3. Strong support given the banking- situation thru organization of the $500,000.000 national credit corporation; cooperation of banks, in helping each other; efforts of the federal reserve board and the controller's office at Washington in adopting a drastic policy to avert recent threatened crisis in some banking centers. 4.
