REX BEACH TAKES LIFE
Sebring, Fla., Dec. 7.—Rex
Beach, the rugged chronicler of
the rugged men of the reat
Northwest, shot himself to
death today to end the agony
of a throat ailment reported to
have been cancer.
His nurse, Tnia Simonian,
found the 72-year-old author of
such he-man classics as “The
Spoilers” slumped over his bed
at breakfast-time, a bullet
wound in his temple. She had
just left him to prepare his
meal when she heard the shot.
A .38-caliber pistol was
found near him and a verdict
of suicide was announced.

SAYS TROUBLE WITH
WORLD IS BONE HEADS
New York, Dec. 7—The trou
ble with the world, Bennie Buf-
ano observed today, is the “os
sified adult mind.”
He declared that if peace is
to be achieved, there muse be
a return to the child’s way of
thinking. He intends to do his
part.
Beniamino (“just call me
Bennie, the missionary tramp”)
Bufano is a sculptor. He plans
to fashion a huge mosaic of
many stones depicting the
children of the world enfolded
in the wings of the American
eagle.
After showing it in San Fran
cisco, his home town, Bufano
said he will offer it to the
United Nations to hang in one
of its new buildings “for in
spiration.”
The pint-sized sculptor ex
plained that grown-ups the
world over are hobbled by fix
ations, habits and convictions.
But children have the right id
ea on the Democratic way of
life.
“You give a kid an icecream
cone and what does he do. He
eats it” said Bufano.
“You give an adult an ice
cream cone and what does he
do. He eats off why you gave
it to him.”
“Same thing goes in the Uni
ted Nations. Same thing went
in the League of Nations. None
of us believes anything and we
all demand that other people
live as we do.
. “A kid doesn’t .care how other
kids live. He loves everybody.’
Bufano said.
In the 20 by 50 foot moasic,
he visualizes, each of the 59
nations in the UN will be rep
resented by a child. The out
spread wings of the American
eagle will be around them all.
“Singe the UN was started
in this country and since we
are the melting pot of the
SINGLE ACRE YIELDS
5-BALE COTTON CROP
What may be an all-time
cotton production record was
reported this season on the
farm of C. B. Peay in Oktibbe
ha County, Mississippi, where
the incredible total of five
bales of cotton was produced
on a single acre.
To experienced farmers, who
think they have achieved top
production when they grow
two bales per acre, the five-
bale story is an item worthy
of Robert Ripley’s “believe it
or not” columns. Mr. Peay’s
neighbors will testify to the
veracity of his story, as will
the records showing sums he
has paid to cotton pickers for
gathering his crop.
Mr. Peay grew the amazing
cotton yield on land that is
generally regarded as some of
the poorest in the area. The
field has been inspected by
scores of farmers and agricul
tural experts. They attribute •
Mr. Peay’s fabulous production
to a perfect combination of j
weather, seed, fertilizer, and j
work.
The land was relinquished to!
the bank some years ago when
the original owner found it so
unproductive it would not pay.
(Mr. Peay bought the land and
with his wife and two sons be
gan the slow process of build
ing it up.
This season the Mississippi
farmer concentrated his efforts
on the acre he had selected as
his best. He used 500 pounds
of 5-10-5 fertilizer and applied
200 pounds of ammonium ni
trate as a side dressing later.
He poisoned early and contin
ued to poison through the sea
son.
Pickers who gathered the
cotton brought in a bale at the
I first picking. They told the
’ land owner then he would have
five bales on the acre. At that
time, Mr. Peay laughed at
them. Today he is laughing in
a different way—his records
show that 2504 pounds have
been gathered, worth about
$750 at current prices.

world, the eagle is appropriate”
he said, brushing aside ques
tions about the dislomatic ad
visability of an American sym
bol encompassing all. ”1 am
not concerned with politics” he
said.
“I just want the biggest of
all my works to be a reminder
to all fathers that if their
children were doing the think,
ing for the world, there would-i
n’t be any more wars.
Bufano said he plans a pilg
rimage to Rome, his birthplace,
shortly after the first of the
year, to gather the vari-colored
stones for his mosaic. “The Ro
mans are the only ones who
know how to make masaic
to
stones” he said. “I refuse
use bathroom tile.”
Spurred by his favorite Quo
tation “a little child shall lead
them” Bufano is in a hurry to
get his work finished” before
the adults in the UN make any
more mistakes.”
The world, he declared, needs
a general rebirth.
