RUSSIAN CROPS

Crops are good in Russia. There is news that brings
satisfaction to every sympathetic heart. From all appear
ances. the Russians are going to be able to feed themselves
from now on.
Yet there is no immediate prospect of Russian pros
neritv. The Russian peasants are not going to start right
n. next wear or the year after, raising and exporting grain
70 feed western Europe as they used to do, and turning the
nroceeds TO the revival of Russian industry and commerce.
The surplus grain available for seed cannot be large,
and if it were, there would be no great enthusiasm for SOW
;np if. For the Russian peasants never will raise much more
food than they need for their own use until they are assured
that their surplus will not be confiscated by the government
The;r atHtude throughout the Bolshevist regime shows that'
Russian prosperity depends upon the establishment Oh a
government in which the peasants have confidence.

 Constable E.. w. Furrey, acting on authority received in a telegram from the prosecutor of Freehold, N. J., ar rested Jacob Nesser at his home at Whites Crossing yesterday and is holding him for the New Jersey authorities. The charge itself has not been specifically stated but is report ed as being for the sale of an auto- mobile which was on a bill of sale and not owned outright by Nessler.
 Nessler is a carpenter by trade and is working at the New Britain State Normal school where he expected to be employed for two years. In the cellroom last night he broke down and cried as he spoke of his wife and three small children waiting for him at home. He said he had no knowl edge of his guilt in the matter and considered it bad mistake to have sold the car without having paid for 1t In New Jersey before coming here.
 According to Nessler he left New Jersey about two months ago and be- l fore leaving purchased a Ford car. He did not pay for it and it was on bill of sale. He claims he had eV- cry intention of paying for it and had mentioned the matter to his wife only recently. According to his story the man in New Jersey from whom he bought the car required no deposit and said it would be all right to pay for it later, Ness!er sold the Ford to the New Britain Auto Exchange, ac- cording to his story, and bought Ford truck. Later he sold the truck and bought an Oakland car which, he claims, was in poor condition and he returned 1t. He has no car at the present time.
 Last night Nessler waived eXtradi- ton and told Prosecutor W. J. Foran that he wanted to straighten the mat ter out, He will be held here until the arrival of a Freehold officer and will return to that town probably to- day.
 Officer Strolls of the New Britain department was looking for some stolen carpenter tools when he ap- preached Nessler. The focal man at once told him the story of the car. Constable Furrey was assisted by Constable Klett in making the ar rest.

STEVENS FOR JOB
 HE MOST DESIRES Wants to Be Chairman of Appro. |. priaions Committee NOT SEEKING A CONTEST
Man Announces Candidacy for Representative to General As st
 items About Town.

With the announcement made by Claude W. Stevens of Kensingtor that he will be a candidate for rep Assembly in Hartford. great many of the voters of the town are cen tering their interests about the out come of this election rather than that of the town election which will be held October 2.
 Mir. Stevens is the third party to throw his hat into the ring in an attempt to secure the legislative seat. The others are Francis Deming of Berlin, present representative, and Arthur Benson of East Berlin.
 Not only does MT. Stevens want to be Berlin's next representative in the legislature, but also wants to be chairman of the house appropriations committee.
 In formal statement today, Mir. Stevens said:
 You may say that I am candi- date for nomination and election as representative from the Town of Ser lin. While I have no desire to op- pose my good friends Deming or Ben son, I do believe that my previous experience would be of value to the Town of Berlin; and If nominated and elected would seek the position as chairman of the committee on appro- priations on which committee I have served in two previous sessions
 The kensington candidate has been In the legislature three times -serv- ing as a representative in 1911 and 1919 and as a senator from the fifth district in 1913. Mir. Stevens has been . resident of this town for many years and Is employed in the sales depart nient of the Stanley Works in New Britain.
 Tn the 1911 session he was mem- Der of the appropriations committee and the chairman of the committee on the congressional and senatorial dis tricts. In the 1913 session he was q senate member of the committee on aericulture, woman suffrage and sale of lands. When he returned as rep resentative in 1919 he served as chair man of the claims committee and was | member of the house committee on COnevlvutlOndI dHleHuIileHtS anu ol tiic Joint committee on federal relations.
 From opinions which have been se- cured from various residents the work of MT. Deming in the legislature has been satisfactory and because of his standing in Berlin and Mir. Stevens stand in Kensingtoh 1t is expected that there will be some contest for the position.
 For Arthur Benson
 The residents of East Berlin claim, !, however, that they are going to put up a strong fight for the election of Arthur Benson as representative. There is no doubt in the minds of | many also that Mir. Benson will se- ' cure the vote of the many service men 1 In town inasmuch as he is command CT of the Bolton -Kasica post. -Ameri- can Legion. ...

whether to blame the whistle or the

Henry Ford wants to send us his
Dearborn Independent in exchange
for The Herald, and we are going
to accommodate him. He says in
part: "The Dearborn Independent, the
Ford international weekly, is interest
ed in your editorial comment on the
questions of the day" That is not
fiattery. it is just plain bunk. He
says that to.every paper he offers to
exchange with. He is not interested
in our comment, or anybody else's
comment, only SO far as it pertains
to Ford and Ford movements.
Henry is about as much the editor
Of the Independent as we are OF the
Denver Post, the paper with liver
and gizzard. He does do the heavy
work on the Independent pays
the freight. The only way he can
edit an article is to tell what he
wants to say to someone capable of
putting it in reading condition.
Henry's testimony during his suit
against the Chicago Tribune showed
him to be sadly lacking in education,
which proves that an uneducated man
can make money. though lack OF edu-
cation is a bad handicap.

say about him, as he turns knocks

DROVE MEN TO DRINK AND
WOMEN TO DISTRACTION

The soda fountains did a fairly
good business Wednesday. but not be-
cause the thermometer at the Hol-
yoke Auto company at 4 p. m. said
81 above in the sun. 1t was because
the water was shut off several times
during the day without warning. A
fellow would go for a drink, out
could not get it. He might swear
and go back to work Soon the water
would be on. and somebody else
would get a drink. Then the other
fellow would try again. but by that
time the water would be of again.
II there was any swear in him he
would tear loose. ana strike for a
soda fountain. and If there had been
anything stronger he would have hit
It hard.
The women had their patience tried
to the breaking point. When the
water was of last week they gath
cred snow--not to cool their tenn
pers, however.
1t was common to see Tin Lizzies
drinking ont OF mud holes Since
the recent cold spells many of them
have kidney trouble.
II is said the boys at the city
plant don't blow the whistle as long
at quitting times us formerly to save
fuel. Perhaps that is the reason
they say nothing when the water is
shut OFF. ms 1t would have taken n
let OF steam to have notified the peo-
pie every time the water has been
shut of lately.
But have patience. The boys are
fixing frozen fire plugs. Suppose n
fire should happen ut your home and
the nearest plug was frozen? That
is when such misfortunes often hap
pen.
Then there is no ordinance like
Pat wanted. providing that the city
whistle must blow ut least thirty
minutes before each FIRE.
