Making Dairy Records.

According to II letter recently re-
ceived by Mrs. w. b. Harden from
Mrs. IL. f. Kincaid, of Chino, Calf,
the Kincaids are having good success
in their farming operations, and are
building up a dairy herd second to
none in that region. Mrs. Kincaid en-
closed the printed report Of the San
Bernardino County Cow Inspector for
the month of October, which starts off
with the following statement: "The
high herd honors go to ii. f. Kincaid
of Chino, who has the high average
production of 40.69. Second place goes
to American Beet Sugar Company,
whose herd average was 1919 pounds"
The report gives the best individual
records of some 80 or more dairyman
of the county for the month of October,
and says: The record for the high
COW goes to H.. f. Kincaid of Chino,
whose cow Star produced 1910 pounds
of milk and 1856 pounds of butter fat.
Second place goes to s.. c. lest of on
tario, whose COW 'Fatedy' produced
1865 pounds OF milk and 1871 pounds
of butter fat" Several other of the
Kincaid COWS are listed among the
high producers of the county.

Reclamation Plan
Urged by Mondell
Through Such a Plan Of Soldier Com
%pensation Will Come Initiation
of Irrigation Projects Here.

Western states will be particularly
interested in the action of Floor Lead
er Mondell, who has from the first
strongly urged reclamation in cOnnec-
ton with adjusted compensation legis-
lation. During the Christmas holidays
the Associated Press carried Mr.. Mon
delTs declaration, made after a confer
ence with the president, hat a soldier
bonus or adjusted compensation bill
would be passed ut the present SEES
sion of congress. On the reassembling
of congress the floor leader placed adj
justed compensation legislation first ON
the program for the session.
In connection with a soldier bonus
or adjusted compensation, Mr.. Mon
dell has always urged vigorously a
reclamation program, or as it has been
termed, a soldier settlement plan. The
very first bill introduced and considr
cred by congress proposing general re-
lief for veterans of the world war, vas
the Mondell reclamation measure
known as the soldier settlement plan.
This bill was reported by committee
on public lands of The house as an in
dependent measure, after being en-
dorsed by the American Legion. Later
, 1922-01-26

when the Legion formulated its four
fold plan for adjusted compensation. it
made the Mondell soldier settlement
plan the first feature of the proposed
legislation. and it became n part of the
bonus bill as it passed the house on
May %. 1920. No action has been tax
en- by the mate ON the bonus measure.
Carrying out the details of the pro-
gram outlined by Floor Leader Mon
dell, the ways and means committee of
the house Will very soon take up the
question of adjusted compensation,
and Mr.. Mondell is very earnest in his
belief that IA general plan of reclama-
ton development, Il plan to furnish ex-
servoice men who desire them. farm
homes and an opportunity to help de-
velop them, should be one of the prin-
cipal features of the legislation. There
is some objection to this in some parts
of the east, where land development
and reclamation is not understood or
appreciated. The united influence of
the west is needed to counteract any
opposition there may be to making this
meritorious policy n part Of the adj
justed compensation legislation.

We are waiting for the sigma ture of Judge Booth of the Common Pleas court and the application will be filed. Assistant States Attorney Garlick has signed the application and within a few days we expect to file 1t.
 The money which will be sought from the Commissioners is due the saloon keepers and extends from the first day of July, 1919, until the 30th of November in the same year. The saloons were closed about the first of July and as the dealers had paid for the licenses up until the end of November they are justly entitled to a reimbursement
 In 1921 the legislature passed an act ordering the Commissioners throughout the state to pay this money. It is evident that the County Commissioners of Fairfield county ig-

HARTE DENIES MAYOR REBUKED
 HIM OFFICIALLY
Clerk Of Contract Board Asserts He Has Right To Carry On Contract ing Business.

'I have received no official rebuke from Mayor Atwater regarding my connection with the firm of Mooney and Harte and questioning my right to deal in cinders," John Harte, assist ant clerk of the Board of Contract and Supply declared today comment ing on the report that he had been re- buked by Mayor Atwater. "As far as I know 1t is a paper rebuke. Rebuke or no rebuke I contend that l have a perfect and legitimate right to do business with the city just so long as that business does not come through the Board of Contract and Supply. I am doing my work here and feel that after my days work is done I have a perfect right to engage in other busi- ness. Despite the fact that the mayor, according to reports, has rebuked me for submitting a bid for cinder work to the Board of Education I shall still hold to my position and shall not sever my connections with either the Board of Contract or the firm of Mooney and Harte."
 The reported rebuke by the mayor came about when the mayor was in- formed that Harte had submitted a bid to the Board of Education to fur nish cinders for work to be done on several public school yards. Harte later withdrew the bid to make cor rections. He said today that the bid will be resubmitted.
 In his statement yesterday regard ing the affair Mayor Atwater said: MT. Harte should either be a clerk of the Board of Contract and Supply, or a contractor"

CORNELL TO SET AWARDS
 TO EMERSON
City Attorney Demands Inv es ii ga tion Of Charges of 'Phoney" Business - Hits Back At Local Newspapers InSinuatiOnS.

1T shall ask for a commit tee of investigation to probe alleged irregularities in the let ting of cinder orders,' said City Attorney John A. Cornell, this morning, to a reporter of The Times.
 The matter relates to an or der given through the Board of Contract and Supply, to The Emerson Company, for cinders. As city attorney, MT. Cornell has called upon Lawrence T. Gala gher, president of the Seventh district Dem | ocratic club, to place before him all evidence of charges made at a meet ing of his club that there was some- thing "phoney about the cinder buSi- ness.''
 "I have also demanded of the Star" MT. Cornell said today, ''to make clear his insinuations that have been connected with the Emerson company. In several cartoons and articles there have been very plain insinuations. which have placed me in a precarious position and has made reflections on my position as cIIy at- torney.
 Such insinuations as have been made leave me liable to impeachment.
 I have demanded that every bit of
 
 cinder order has been irregular be placed before me. I have conferred with Mayor Fred Atwater and he agrees with me that the administre- tion has been placed in a predfcament and that the object of entire business is to make it look as though the ad- ministration is crooked. He will sup port the investigating committee which I will ask the next council meeting to create.
 T have conducted an investigation into the charges that the Emerson company is irregular. I find that everything was perfectly regular and that there was nothing wrong about the placing of the order for cinders with that company. I will act as counsel to the committee"
 Meantime the cinders on the two barges of the Emerson company are still at the City Ice & Coal Co. dock. It was learned today that there are several persons bidding for them. These are the cinders which were condemned by direction of George Coughlin, Director of Public Works.

RAIL HEADS
 PESSIMISTIC
 ON OUTLOOK
Division In Voting Strength Apparent In Consideration of Re- ply to President Eastern Division Op- posed To Adninistra- ton Plan.

New York, Aug. 11-INS)- Pessimism marked the session of 14S members of the Associa- ton of Railroad Executives, as it got under way shortly after eleven o'clock here today in the board room of the New Ha- ven railroad at Grand Central Terminal. They were to con- sider their reply to President Harding's proposal that the Railroad Labor Board be per mitted to settle the question of seniority rights of the striking shopmen.
 T won't say am hopeful" L. F. Loree, president of the Delaware & Hudson company. and chairman of tered the building. ''Iyhis meeting is like that of a patient and a doctor. We will feel the pulse of the sftua- tion before we act upon it. Commit tees will be appointed this morning and then we will adjourn for lunch con. When the committees report back to the main meeting our action will be decided upon."
 Far From Harmony.
 From he start a sharp division in the voting strength was apparent, which was so clearly defined as to be almost sectional.
 The Eastern division appeared un- alterably opposed to acceptance of the Presidents plan, because it pro vided that the question or returning strikers with seniority rights unim- paired should be shunted back to the United States Railroad Labor Board for final decision.
 The attack was led by l.. F. Loree, president of the Delaware & Hudson; W. w. .Atterbury of the Pennsylva- niH; A. H. Smith of the New York Central, and Frederick ID. Underwood of the Erie. -- ,s1
 To accept the plan, they maintain ed, would be to jeopardize, at the hands of the labor board, their prom ises to non-trikers and new employees that seniority rights would be based on loyalty. It also would spell vic tory for the unions, by again giving them recognition before the labor board, which last July outlawed all strikers and shut the door on the shop crafts unions.

Through Attorney R. R. Rosan it was learned this morning that an ap- plication to the Common Pleas court asking for a mandamuS order direct ing the County Commissioners of Fairfield county to either pay over tho license fees belonging to the for mer saloon keepers of Bridgeport or to show cause why they should not pay the stipulated sum to the saloon keepers will be filed by the Retail Liquor Dealers Association, who have retained MT. Rosan as their counsel.
 When the county commissioners learned from The Times reporter that suit was preparing, they admitted owing the former saloonkeepers about S20O each. and said that the county intends to pay as soon as the several communities, and the state, which owe the county in this matter, make payment.
 In 1919 the saloonkeepers in Bridge port were ordered to dismantIe their saloons. For the year of 1919 the saloon keepers had paid to the County Commissioners the full amount of their liquor licenses and nave not been reimbursed.
 This morning Attorney Rosan stat ed that test case will be made. Ii
