that the number, of visitors
likely would be increased
during the afternoon in spit"
of recent weather conditions
which cut down attendance
materially.

Rad Situation
'Tills country is headed toward
a condition of city millionaires and
bankrupt farmers unless the far-
mers and farm women organlzn
and present a united front In de-
manding a fust price tor tlylr pro-
ducts," Mrs Warner said in her
address
The speaker pointed out the ser-
vices that farm women have ren-
dered the nation. The country. Mrs.
Warner said, had been largely civ-
ilized by pioneer farm women and
had presented most nf the national
leaders to the country
"Aside from tho worth of women
as mothers and agents of civiliza-
tion. women have proved of real
financial benefit to their husbands "
said Mr Warner "And If every wo-
man would have her husband count
up what she has been worth in
cash to him. she likely would own
tiie farm on which she lives.”
Mrs. Warner then gave figures to
show that most farm women sav-
in actual dash bv their efforts,
about $2 000 each year
Would Demand Fair Price
"Agriculture is in a mess." she
said "And It is responsibility of
you farm women to organize’ your-
selves into groups’ which will have
the power to demand fair returns
for the effort* pul forth by you
and your husbands"
The introduction of farm drmon-
rtratlon and home demonstration
agents have done much to Improve
farm life and bv continuing and
developing the work they have been
doing can be found the salvaHoft
of the farmers within the next few
years. Mrs. Warner declared

Some of the dead in Hill County

ity of the two storm areas it was
t bought possible that some of the
unidentified negro dead might have
been duplicated in lists compiled
at Frost and Hillsboro

DALLAS, May B That the Meth-

a more emphatic manifesto In fav-
or of law enforcement than even
Bishop James Cannon Jr could de-
( vise, was indicated today on the
floor of the conference when Jo-
sephus Daniels clashed with Bfsltop
Cannon and won overwhelming ap-
proval of the conference delegates.
Bishop Cannon is chairman of the
church board on temperance and so-
cial service Daniels was elected
chairman of the conference com-
mittee of the same name
This morning Cannon presented
the report of his commission, and
asked that two resolutions which
were a part of the report not be re-
ferred to Daniels' committee. This
brought an immediate protest from
the former secretary of the navy.
Wants Strong Dry Stand
"We want to make a declaration
so strong and powerful on behalf
of prohibition,” Daniels shouted,
"that It will bftURMA thrwufhour
the repubHc For this reaann the Tift*
committee wishes to consider al!
suggretions on this subject before Introduced district and county
framing this declaration.”
The two resolutions which Bishop
Cannon had asked to be consider-1
cd by the whole conference with-
out committee reference were:
That the conference petition con-
gress to comply with the request of
President Hoover for speedy action
on all law enforcement measures
That the conference express its
gratification at the "sweeping de-
cision of the supreme court" on
May 5 the so-called "bottle ruling"
which makes it plain that the pro-
hibition act was designated to sup-
press the "entire liquor traffic" and
"clearly indicates that any legisla-
tion to nullify prohibition will not
be countenanced by the court.”
The other clash of the morning
was upon consideration of the re-
|Mirt nf the special committee on
constitution. \^hicli asked that its
report, presenting the church's first,
wilttcn constitution, be considered
without committee reference Tills
controversy was post[>oncd by mak-
ing the committee report a special
order for tomorrow
Also ni»de a special order for next.

Work for the conference during-
the coming three weeks was laid

fore the state legislature, were re-

which planned to start work this
afternoon digesting the memorials
