MICK fifi GUARDSMEN STAVE OFF MOB Roosevelt Gives Encouragement to Nation's Farmers Seem to Be on Our Way Out," Tells Farm Bureau BUSINESS IMPROVES President Optimistic Over Pre-Christmas Shopping Campaign Roosevelt told farmers in a message Monday "we seem to on our way" but counseled them to continue co-operating with the administration's program for controled agriculture. His message was read before the an- convention of the American Farm Bureau Federation. President Optimistic WASHINGTON President Roosevelt and his administration leaders find the country zooming along to prosperity once more, after a most critical period of grave doubt. There are still many doubters abroad over the land, who read the favorable barometers of commerce with thoughts of the piper having to be paid in the long run for a sort of synthetic form of temporary recovery. But the president is convinced, according to those who have talked with him lately, that success is crowning his efforts; that the country is well on the way to glorious days in which the poor shall nil be fed, the willing shall all have jobs, and happiness shall abound.

He looks upon it as a great Christmas present for the United States. Indeed, it is Christmas and the Christmas spirit that may be swinging the nation along toward better busW HESi.tiniP& sources show that Christmas sales arc- far ahead of last year at this time; thtat the holiday shoppers are buying in more generous volume, and that this year will find a fuller grist of presents under American Christmas trees than in at least two years past. Confidence Discerned Several elements are held responsible for this phenomenon. The president was particularly gratified by the reception given the Treasury's latest refinancing program and he holds that the celerity with which the offering for nearly one billion dollars' worth of government notes was taken up and far surpassed in a single day was 11 certain sign that the financiers and investors of the country had confidence in the administration and in its monetary policy. Some economists hold that the Treasury evaded the issue by offering short paper at a higher rate of interest, and that therefore the success which greeted the offer was not a true test of public confidence.

But the president regards the refinancing as a certain and positive demonstration of confidence. Beyond this, however, the information has gone to financial centers, and abroad as well, that the president finished, temporarily at least, with his depreciation of the dollar. Sings have indicated, even in the absence of a definite announcement, that the president has agreed to a temporary of the dollar by hitching it to the British pound, at a price ranging from $5 to J5.35. It is held natural that in the interests of bis price-raising ambitions, the president will not make any announcement which might have a downward effect upon the price structure. The Christmas buying season is an- other element contributing to the business recovery, but another which is credited with a heavy effect is repeal of the prohibition amendment, with consequent booming activity in wholesale and retail sales of liquor.

The California firm had placed an advertisement in this newspaper late last month in an attempt to buy frogs.

In remitting for the advertisement they explained they had heard plenty nf frops were to be obtained near Hope, Ark. While, they didn't hold the newspaper responsible, there was not a reply, they said. They uskcd assistance in tracing the rumor of a plentiful supply of frogs Inhere, or whether we knew where they might be obtained. Investigation disclosed that one or two farmers had attempted to find a market for frogs Mime months ayo. Finding no satisfactory outlet, they dropped the matter.

SHOPPING DAYS Turner's Charge Reduced; Fix Bail -J' Father of Duelist Held in $500 Bond on Assault Count Dr. C'atlicflne IVyuekoon the days when it took courage for a woman to study and practice medicine. As a little girl, she was afflicted much of the time wtih malaria and 1 have heard her tell how her father used to measure out huge doses of powdered quinine on the end of a knife, one such dose to be taken three times daily.

How bitter it must have tasted! During these years she became so anemic that she was forced to stay in bed for days at a time. While other children were at school or outdoors playing, mother learned to read. Grandmother would teJl her the words and their meanings. Because of her ill health, mother did not go to school until she was nine years old. Then she entered the Del Ray school.

She bad an unusual knowledge of reading, but was unable to spell, write or do "number work." Ou her second day at school, the nine-year-old girl was called upon to read. Sbe arose from her seat and, in a full, clear voice, read from her primer: "Give me three grains of corn. Mother, only three grains of corn Tu keep the little life I have till the coming of the morn." No sooner were the words out than she sat down again, crying, when the teacher asked what was tbe trouble, Waiving' preliminary examination, R. A. Turner, held on a charge of 'assault with intent to kill, was bound over to the Hempstead grand jury in municipal court Monday morning.

Bond for Turner was fixed at $500. When first arrested -Turner was charged wilii accessory to murder, but in court Monday the charge was reduced. Turner's case grew out of a duel at Fulton several days ago in which his son, Hanan Jack Turner and Elbert Seymour, both of Fulton, shot each other to death. The duelists fought with pistols. Officers found shotgun pellets in Seymour's body which led the suspicion that the elder Turner fired at him.

No testimony was taken in court. After a preliminary hearing on a charge of forgery, J. Payne was bound over to the grand jury. Bond was fixed at $200. Payne was arrested on a warrant charging him with forging a 512.50 First National Bank.

McKinley Carson was found guilty of carrying a pistol and was fined 550 and costs. He gave notice of appeal. LeRoy Muldrow, destroying property; continued until December 18. Sally Lou Halbert was bound over to the grand jury on a charge of selling liquor. Bond was fixed at $200.

Sporadic Fighting Disturbs People of Five Nations 85 Dead in Radical Uprising and Strike Throughout Spain SHOOTINGJN CUBA Bombs in Manhunts in Ireland, Rumania By the Associated Press Political disturbances attended by violence developed rapidly in five nations Monday. In Spain, anarchists and syndicates combined to foment a nation-wide strike and upset the government. Authorities said they had the situation in hand although 85 are dead and undetermined hundreds are injured. An agreement between the government and the opposition in Cuba brought a prediction that peace is near, but there was an outburst of shooting in midtown Havana.

In Rumania and the Irish Free State, political disturbances partook the nature of a manhunt. Rumania authorities were looking for Corneliu Codreanu, leader of the outlawed Fascist Iron Guard. Police arrested 3,500 of his followers.

Texarkana Papers Will Consolidate Gazette and News Announce Contract to Take Over Press E. Palmer, publisher of the Texarkana morning Gazette and evening News, announced Monday that the opposition evening paper the Press would be taken over by his organization in a few days under a contract signed October 18 with C. Marsh, Austin, Texas, and E. S.

Fentress, Waco, Texas, owners of the Press. The consolidation will end a newspaper battle that has been under way since the founding of the Press in June, 1931. Mr. Palmer, who had sold his Texarkana papers in 1926 to D. W.

Stevick, of Champaign-Urbana, 111., was called back to Texarkana in March of this year to work out difficulties incurred under the Stevick management. Last month the Gazette and News assets were sold under foreclosure to Texarkana Newspapers, the new Palmer company which will also take over the Press. Playing an important role in the last two and a half years of Texarkana newspaper history is Charles H. Newell, editor and manager of the Press, who left the general manager- ship of the Dallas Dispatch to head the Fentress-Marsh invasion of Texarkana. Mr.

Newell made an aggressive paper of the Press, leading after two and a half years to the withdrawal of Mr. Stevick from ownership of the Gazette-News, and an invitation to Mr. Palmer to return to his original properties, followed by the consolidation. Mr. Palmer owns a half-interest with A.

Winter Strikes in Northern States Blizzard Sweeps Cold Wave for Arkansas By Associated Press Winter's'first wide-spread snow covered many sections of the nation Monday. In the Pacific Northwest, rampaging flood waters and suffering brought death of 11 persons over the week-end.

Three perished in blizzard-torn Pennsylvania. Two died from exposure in New York. The Middle-West was held in the grip of a cold wave.

CWA Is Offering Airports to Cities Land Must Be Does WASHINGTON-Plans for a network of aircraft landing fields to be established on municipally provided ground at 2,000 cities and towns throughout the United States now having either no facilities or inadequate facilities for aircraft operation, were announced by Eugene L. Vidal, director of aeroautics of the Department of Commerce. The work will be undertaken under an allotment for both labor and material by the Civil Works Administration to the aeronautics branch of the Department. Municipalities which wish to acquire landing fields are requested by Mr.

Vidal to set aside the necessary ground and apply at once by airmail or telegraph to the aeronautics branch of the Department of Commerce at Washington for assistance in making such ground suitable for the use of aircraft. He further declared (that since one purpose of the landing-field program is to provide work immediately for the unemployed, the sites should be submitted before December 15. Communities slow in responding may not be able to share in the assistance provided by the Federal Government. The project involves expenditures of more than $10,000,000 for lobor and materials, of which more than $8,000,000 will go for wages to over 50,000 persons, now unemployed. Municipalities will provide only the unimproved land, which may either be owned or leased by the community.

Cities and states will be asked to lend road building machinery necessary for the grading or leveling. The average cost of conditioning a field should be $5,000, with only about $630 to be expended for material and the remainedr for labor. Any city or town which does not have adequate landing facilities is qualified to apply for conditioning work for an emergency field under the present program Mr. Vidal said. Here and There -Editorial By ALEX.

H. WASHBUHN- Plsewhere today's paper you may read the plea of the or- ganized postoffice workers of America for restoration of part of the pay-cut which was effected on the last government retrenchment program. Speaker Rainey, of the House of Reprosenatives, hinted in a press dispatch from Washington last week that the new congress might increase government "because restoration of purchasing power is in line with the Roosevelt administration." This newspaper is glad to present arguments for the postal workers, or for labor in any line of private business. But this caution should be that the Democratic administration has not yet proved to the nation that the government budget is balanced; and until it has carried out this campaign pledge it cannot think of disrupting the retrenchment program. If another six months prove that the government actually is operating within its revenues, then payroll revisions may be made.

But this is a time for patience. Federal workers are probably less worse off than employes of private concerns certainly they are far better off than the school teachers of America. Recovery may be on the the new session of congress will be forced to vote new and drastic tax levies; and that will hardly be the time to ask citizens for increased federal payrolls. After two and a half years of newspaper competition Texarkana rejoins the list of 900 American cities which have but one daily publication company, the Texarkana Gazette announcing a contract to take over the Texarkana Press. The public, 1 think, lias an idea that there is something sinister in the way that new newspapers start, and then sooner or later consolidate into a one-paper town.

National guard batteries were bilized'at Enid and Kingfisher, Sunday night after vague reports that a mob' was forming to seize Wisdom, who was captured Sunday neat txyr' wbostrly after the body of Mrs. Harry Pritchard, of Wichita, was found in a culvert near Kingfisher. A search also was being pursued for the body of her husband, a Wichita merchant, who with his wife djs- appeared after seeking to collect from Wisdom on a worthless check.

Wisdom also is'charged with killing Emery Large, elderly cowboy, Mesde, Kas. Wisdom later was reported by officers to have said he participated in the kidnaping of the couple, but that the actual killings were done by av' man named' Buck Smith white Wis- dom was JAY, a hunt of more then two weeks, Jack Wisdom, young cowhand, was arrested Sunday on a charge of kidnaping Mr. and Mrs. Harry Pritchard of Wichita, and the body of the woman was found soon afterward in a highway culvert. Feeling ran high in Southern Kansas counties.

Police, expressing fear of mob action, indicated Wisdom captured wiih- out resistance before dawn in a home, at Leach Prairie, would be removed later to a prison for safekeeping. The 26-year-old cowboy is accused of abducting the Pritchards November 28 to forestall prosecution for the issuance of a worthless $21.40 check. He denied the charge. "I know nothing of the disappearance," he said. Wisdom also is wanted on charges of slaying Emery Large, a fellow ranch worker, cattle theft and forgery.
