MR. HEARD IN

BAD SMASH

LUCKY ESCAPE IN

HAPPY VALLEY.

CAR COMPLETELY WRECKED

Mr. A. J. P. Heard, the wel known jockey, had a remarkably narrow escape from serious in- jury when his V8 Ford saloon car came into violent collision with a lorry of the junction of Shan Kwong and Village Roads about 9 o'clock this morning.

As a result of the collision, Mr. Heard suffered several nasty In- jurles to his face, and received treatment in hospital. The driver of the lorry, Li Chu, received a cut on his left lose, and also had the muscle of his arm twisted.

The collision occurred just at the foot of the hill leading up to the Jockey Club stables. Mr. Heard was driving, his car up to the atables along Shan Kwong Road and met the lorry at right angles. The lorry was proceeding along Village Road from East to West.

GOOD SPEED.

It seems cortain that both vehicles must havo been driven int a good speed. The lorry after striking the car aquarely on its loft front wheel carried It bodily to the far alde pavement at the foot of the hill before coming to a stand- still:

The right front wheel of the lorry finished under the left front wheel of the car, lifting it up to a position of about 45 degrees. The left front running board enb, and engine of the were completely smashed in.

It was only the safety glass of the car which saved Mr. Heard fram receiving, more serious in- Jurles.

AT ST. PAUL'S

ULTIMATUM ISSUED TO NATION

WASHINGTON, OCT. 19.

AMERICAN FARMERS ARE IN REVOLT AND ARE THREATENING DRASTIC ACTION FOLLOW- ING THE FAILURE OF THE RECOVERY PRO- GRAMME TO RELIEVE THEIR POSITION..

An ultimatum has been issued from St. Paul, in the heart of the Middle West, declaring:

"We will pay no taxes and will pay no interest until we have first cared for our families. We will pay no interest-bearing debts until we receive the cost of production for our products. We will buy only that which complete necessity demands. We will not sell our products unless we receive the cost of production, but we will exchange out products. with labour and the unemployed for things we need."

The Farm Holiday Association at St. Paul's has called a general strike in the farming industry to take effect at noon on Saturday.

WIDESPREAD DISSATISFACTION

The decision reflects the dis-Governor of Nebraska declared satisfaction of the farmers with that the National Recovery Ad- the progress made by the Recovery ministration's activities had made farmer's condition wÖTSC Administration. Unrest is grow the ing among the farmers in all parts instead of better. of the country.

The primary object of the Farm Holiday Association's call for a general strike is to compel Prest- dent Roosevelt to formulate a code for agriculture and also to raise prices of farm produce by a stop- page of the supplies.

SECRET MEETING.

A secret meeting of the Dirac- tore at St. Paul drafted the ultimatum to the nations refusing to pay taxes or debts.

The extent of the strike is highly problematical although there is no doubt that farm unrest is general throughout the Middle West.
