Shreve, newly elected president of the U. S. chamber of commerce, took sharp issue with President Truman's "moral suasion" campaign to cut prices. He declared the people will not be "fooled by attempts to make business men scapegoats." ... At this tiny grave on the THE SIDE OF THE ROAD lonely prairie near Elrod, S. D., a train stops every Memorial Day while the crew conducts simple rites memorializing' the friendship of "Big Bill' Chambers and "The Little Fellow." A STOP BY SAGA OF FRIENDSHIP prayers are said and flowers are? laid on the grave. The trainmen return to their train and the trip is resumed. When curious passengers ask about the stop, they learn the story of how a railroad man's sympathetic understanding of a small boy's fascination for railroading led to a friendship that has been memorialized for 58 years even though both the railroad man and the small boy died years ago. The man's name was William F. Chambers, better known as "Big Bill" Chambers, and the small boy is known only as "The Little Fellow." Back in 1888, Big Bill was a brakeman on the train hauling track ballast for repair work under way in the area. "The Little Felson of the low" was the couple who had charge of the kitchen and mess cars for the construction gang. Every day when Bill's train pulled into the railroad camp, the boy ran to meet him and Chambers would spend hours telling him tales of the big cities and of railroading. Then, in August, the boy became seriously ill and died. He was buried y and there along the promised the boy's parents OUIwould take care of the grave until they were able to return and remove the body. They never returned, but Chambers kept his promise even when he became freight conductor and later passenger conductor. Section crews helped him by keeping the grass and weeds away from the spot. Someone put up a boulder to mark the grave. Eventually Bill reached retirement age; yet he still visited the grave regularly on Memorial Day as long as he was able. Others took up the task for him and continued the practice even after his death in 1939. Vince J. Ford, conductor, married Chambers' daughter. Every Memorial Day Ford has taken Chambers' place, although he, too, now Is retired. The flowers are sent by his wife and Mrs. Lydia Benson, another daughter of Chambers, both of whom reside at F.edfield. S. D. Together with the train crews, these people have kept alive the friendship of "Big Bill" and "The Little Fellow." For 58 years the Chicago and North Western's train 106 has stopped on the prairie near Elrod, as it will again this year. Passengers have waited and wondered. They have heiird the story and seen the ceremony. Not once hat a protest been heard. right-of-wa- Boy With 30 Names Is 'Bobby' for Short WHITESBURO. KY.

The labor Involved In cutting out dodder is excessive and it is almost impossible to remove all of the parasite by this method. Infested fields may be planted to grain or corn for several years. These crops are not attacked, but care should be taken that the dodder does not continue growing on weeds in the field. 4-- DRAFTS TREATY . . . Joseph M.

It produces usable leaves three weeks longer than many commercial leaf lettuce varieties.
