Near Death
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—United
States Senator Borah, republican
leader and one of the nation’s moet
outstanding statesmen for more than
a quarter of a century is near death
here today.
Doctors said there is no hope for
his recovery, following hemorrhages
which set in early today. Previous-
ly he had suffered injuries in a fall
on the steps in his home here, but
at first this injury was not consid-
ered serious.
Known as the Lion of Idaho he
has been one of the moet outspoken
men in the nation’s political area.
Sixty Young county farmers will
hare an opportunity ■ to work for a
period of sixty days and will be as-
signed to work on existing WPA
projects throughout the county as a
result of special emergency assist-
ance granted by the Farm Security
Administration, following evidence
of drought conditions presented by
D. A. Adam, county agent.
The WPA is cooperating in put-
ting these people on their rolls in
order to make them eligible for
work. The Commissioners’ Court is
furnishing personnel to handle all
applications and the eouty agentV
office is handling all publicity and
