Finchum, 32, of Southland, Garza
County, Texas, was shot to death
shortly before midnight Saturday
in an automobile court east of
Phoenix.
Sheriff’s officers said his former
wife, Mrs. Edna Mapes, admitted
she shot him. She and her hus-
band, William Mapes were taken
to the sheriff’s office for question-
ing.
Finchum, who for two years had
followed his former wife about
the country, appeared at the sher-
iff’s office and asked the location
of a rural route box number.
Crippled, required to use both
cane and crutch in walking, Finch-
um elicited the sympathy of a by-
stander who drove him to the ad-
dress.
Arriving at the auto court an
argument followed between Mapes
and Finchum. Then a shot rang
out.
Finchum slumped to the ground.
He was dead before occupants of
the court could do anything for
him.

MRS. JOHN J. MCLAUGHLIN, whose husband and

000 was paid for the release of the wealthy young bank-
er, has sent a telegram of protest to the department of
justice against the methods alleged to have been used by
government agents in searching her home. After listing
some of the acts she claims were committed by the feder-
al men, Mrs. McLaughlin concludes with the question,
“where is justice?”
It may be that federal agents were rough in their
dealings with the McLaughlin family, some of whom pos-
sibly were not connected with the affair in any way, but
what about the family of Edward Bremer, the kidnap
victim? There certainly was no thought of justice when
he was snatched from his home and held for one of the
largest ransoms ever demanded and paid.. His family al-
so had no connection with the case, yet they suffered
more than the victim who was threatened with death if
the ransom demands were not met.—Denton Record-

“THE GOOD cooperator accomplishes more by his ac-
tion than by endless talking about cooperation,” says the
Washcoegg, a cooperative publication.
There’s a valuable thought in that for many farmers.
One of the great obstacles faced by the cooperatives has
been lack of aggressive support on the part of members.
It isn’t enough to pay one’s dues and glance over the bul-
letins the organization sends out, and attend an occa-
sional district meeting. The cooperatives that have really
made headway during these past difficult years are
those whose members, by and large, have worked for and
with them, and have labored constantly to bring in new
recruits to the cause. Passive support is almost as bad as
no support at all.
This year cooperative leaders feel that the black
clouds are breaking at last. They are working intensively
in an effort to improve prices and markets, and to edu-
cate the public in understanding cooperative ideals and
motives. They are wrestling with great problems—tariffs,
monetary standards, federal farm legislation, interna-
tional exchange—that greatly affect the farmer’s earning
capacity. The success they achieve will be largely meas-
ured by the support of their members.
The farmer who throws his full weight behind his
cooperative is doing his part to secure a stable and pros-
perous future.

Baltimore, Md.. June 11.— A baby
girl, believed to be just a few
days .old ,was found buried alive
under a thin cover of weeds and
dirt near Baltimore Saturday night.
Discovered when several chil-

'from under a lilac bush on a farm
near the Waterloo road, the baby
was rescued in time to prevent

14 cents In 1933, when conditions were extremely bad, it
paid out 16.33 cents. And the proportion will probably be
higher still in 1934.
That particular business is a big one—but small in-
dustries are in precisely the same position. As a, matter
of fact they have had tougher sledding during depression
than have larger concerns with great cash reserves—and
have seen a rising proportion of hard-earned dollars go
to the government. Money that could have been' Used for
expansion, for raising wages and shortening working
hours, for putting more men to work—the tax collector
got.
Every worker and investor has felt the adverse ef-
fects of that, and the problem constantly grows greater.
Honest tax reduction, that really reduces the cost of gov-
ernment and doesn’t simply shift the burden by political
slight-of-hand, would be a powerful impetus to industrial
expansion, to increased employment, to general recovery.

New Orleans, La., June 11.—Al-
though weather was not favorable
for last week, the crop, on
the whole, made fair progress. Too
much rain in eastern portion of
the cototn belt uot only delayed
farm work but caused sappy plants
and fould and grassy fields. Wea-
ther was more favorable in central
portion, according to the weekly
Cotton Trade Journal report.
Temperatures were normal or
slightly above normal in Western
Belt, but there was too little rain
particularly in Texas, while in
eastern portion dry weather and
sunshine are needed. Weviels are
appearing early in Georgia and
elsewhere in eastern portion and
there are reports of leafworms in
Texas. Details by states follow:
Alabama: Early part of week
was cool with moderate but rather
unevely distributed showers. Condi-
tion and progres of cotton were
good, with chopping nearly com-
pleted in the north. Rains are need
ed in much of north section.
Arkansas: Warm weather and
moderate to heavy well-distributed
showers favored cotton progress,
which are good to excellent. Stands
are good, but plants small. Chop-
ping made good headway; fields
are clean and well cultivated.
' Florida: Cotton condition is fair-
ly good, but somewhat unfavorable,
affected by heavy rains and cool
weather in most portions.
Georgia: Too much rain with
washed soils in some localities was
unfavorable to cotton with sappy
plants, grasy fields and slow chop-
ping progress reported. Lice and
weevils are appearing.
Louisiana: Warm weather with
mostly light to moderate showers
benefited cotton which made fairly
good progress with squares form-
ing in all sections. Fields are fair-
ly well cultivated.
