The cotton yield, like that of wheat, is below that of last year. but the price of cotton has advanced in recent weeks. The prices for hogs, cattle and corn have advanced.
 From the standpoint of the farm- CT as consumer" the board said, ''the advance during the last year in the prices of many farm products, which has not been accompanied by . corresponding increase in retail prices has increased the purchasing power of the farmers dollar.
 Crop prices are on the average considerably higher than last year, while live stock prices, though higher than two months ago, are still con- siderably below last years level. The recent advance of crop prices gains in significance because it has occurred during the period when the farmer markets his crops"
 Improvement in the farmers con- dition during the last year is shown by figures This it is pointed out, iB due mainly to the large purchasing power of the domestic consumer aris- ing out of full employment and larger earnings for the industrial worker, this improvement being more than at present to counteract the effect upon prices of the less satisfac- tory condition of the foreign market"

JUST COMMON SENSE

Again it has been shown that the general opinion of the people of the
 state is founded on reason and com
 mon sense. The approval of the amendment to the state constitution
 which will allow the Governor to veto
 portions of general appropriation 5 bill without destroying the whole bill, given by the town elections, is wise. There is no reason, of course, for plac- ing the governor in position that compels him to refuse to sanction measure wise and proper in most jectionable ones Men do not transact business that way; the state should not. Every clause of contract be- tween individuals is closely scrutiniz- ed. The final authority on the con- tract may eliminate questionable fea- lures, pending decision upon them, but allowing important and necessary ones to take effect at once.
 So it should be, of course, in matters of state importance such as a general l appropriation bill. The decision of the people in the town elections was | proper. The point is to be emphasized | in order that when the amendment [ comes up in the next election in the | cities of the state there may be no questioning it's propriety.
 A similar situation arose in this city. | although it was not in regard to an appropriation bill. A resolution was adopted calling for g police investi- gation and naming the investigating committee. The mayor was compelled to veto the whole resolution if he wanted to uphold what he considered proper custom of allowing the mayor to name such committees. Incidental ly it may be said that the ''investiga- tion' was not generally demanded as shown by the present position of the committee later appointed by the mayor. However, having vetoed the resolution because of what he con sidered an objectionable feature. the mayor appointed practically the same committee. thus uphold ing his point. but not opposing the Leea of an investigation.

PLAN NOT POPULAR
Chancellor Stresemann's Idea for
 Having Smaller Body is Meeting
 With Much Opposition.

Berlin, Oct 4.-While President Ebert as Chancellor Stresemann would have preferred an avoidance of par liament complications in view of the present internal and foreign situations both the president and the chancellor are believed to view the outcome with satisfaction in that it brought an end to the traditional system of compro- misses and political bartering with which a dozen or more previous crises have been patched up.
 An attempt to glue the tottcring coalition together after a temporary compromise on the cardinal points of divergence, would have resulted in dubious makeshifts in the opinion of Reichstag leaders as expressed now after the failure of the recent efforts.
 Although Chancellor Stresemann kept at his desk until o'clock this morning he was up early and took long constitutional in the spacious park adjoining the chancellory. Up to noon today he had not made the slightest revelation of plans he has been carrying on.

SEE THE BETTER SIDE

An interesting article in one of the | widely circulated magazines shows I that Europe is not on it's way to the
 ruin predicted for it for many years. This predicting ruin for Europe has
 grown to be such habit that people
 generally have taken it for granted
 that Europe must in fact he on her
 way to ruin. The writer examines the
 facts, shows that the predicted ruin
 has not come and that 1t is not com- ing. But the point he emphasizes is that q return to prosperity in Europe is being delayed because of the delay in appreciating the fact that Europe is headed in the opposite direction in the direction of prosperity, not ruin. Look at the facts, then abandon de- pressing pessimism and sec the true, the more encouraging side of it.
 It is the modern habit to deplore the mental and moral condition of the younger generation. What is the world coming to when our young girls act so?" is the orthodox expression accompanied often by the raising of distressed hands and the dropping of the corners of the mouth.
 Well. look at the facts Just the other day there was conference here of young women delegates of an or ganization of girls who are inspired by the finest principles. The conference was presided over by distinguished woman who takes vital interest in the girls. The organization is well man. aged and is doing things that interest and benefit it's members Does this sort Of thing indicate the pathway to ruin?
 There are similar organizations of boys. Men arc getting together in many bands to further high ideals in business and life. Do these things in-

The illustration Of the unfortunate
 man suspected Of murder has been
 given before in these columns. Any
 thing he does Is taken by his per-
 secutors to bo an indication Of guilt.
 If he is found asleep he Is "felgnlng sleep" If he Is awake when he is
 discovered, his wakefulness Is eon- sidered proof Of his nervousness be- cause he committed the crime.
 The boards and departments Of the city arc in a similar position often. The work of the members Of the boards Is sometimes trying; members give much time that they might we'll use for their own personal interests. They however serve the city-and get little credit for it.
 The present position of the char ity board is an example. The merits of their decision to give contract to New Britain concern rather than to one located in Hartford is not the question here discussed. The matter referred to is the attitude sometimes taken toward anything a board does. If the board had given the contract to an out-of-town concern, it would have been criticized. It may be re- called that great stir was raised Il. ln nlo r;t r; tan pIained bill with an out-of-town house, saying that he bought from it because, in year, he could save some | $10,000. There was shaking of com mon council heads and T don't know | about this thing" was heard on all | sides.
 Since the charity board has given it's favor to New Britain concern there comes the criticism that it has favored a price greater than it neces- sary.
 Whatever the board did there would have been criticism. A decision had to be made. Whether the board made the wise decision or not may be question or there may be no question about it. The point is, however, that the eff ciency of boards is hampered by the dread of constant, inevitable criticism made often without all knowledge of the facts and without the ability to view the matter broadly. Suggestion and criticism if necessary to boards and to individuals. They and we thrive on it, improve under it. But the spirit of cooperation, not spite, should in spire such criticism and it should not be made habitual just for the sake of

Federal Reserve Board Gives Out Statement On the Agricultural
 Situation

Washington, D. C., Oct. 1.-The Federal Reserve Board in the October bulletin discusses the position of the farmer. It points out that the de- mand for credit prior to this time the present year has been from industrial and not agricultural interests.
 Since the increased demand for credit during the year has been large ly concentrated in/the industrial dis tricts," the board said, "the banks in the agricultural districts are in a strong lending position at a time of year when the demand upon them reaches the seasonal peak"
 Owing to the low price of what, only slightly above that of pre-war years, the position of the wheat farm CT in certain sections is still difficult.

THE LATEST NEWS

The Hartford Courant" this morn
 ing quotes portion of "the letter o
 Commissioner stoeclSol" printed in thu
 "Danbury News" Of Sept, 10. to back
 up" its statement that the moto,
 vehicle department regards dimminf
 lights as dangerous practice and h
 doing all 1t can to discourage 1t.
 Of this letter the Herald" will
 have more to say later. The important
 point at the moment is to determine what the attitude Of the motor vehicle department Is now. not what commis- sioner stoeckel wrote in a letter 9 month ago.
 The way to ascertain the motor vehi- cle departments attitude in regard to dmming headlights is to communi- cate with the motor vehicle depart ment.
 The Herald" did communicate with that department before asserting that the department encouraged the dim ming of lights" The Herald" spoke not to one representative of the de- partment, but to four. The Herald" did not rely upon old advice from the department, nor did it rely upon any letter. The information was obtained from the department that it encourag- ed dim ming the headlights. One rep resentative of the department stated that he himself observed the practice of dimming his lights.
 The "Courtant" asserted that the motor vehicle department was doing all it could to. discourage the prac- tice. Certainly the department is not doing all it can to discourage such practice if it permits it's members to dim their own lights and if it allows the information to be given out at the that the dimming of lights on the approach of another car is proper.
 The "Courant" pleasantly accuses the Herald" of slumbering like Rip Van Wrinkle. Then the Hartford news paper quotes as authority" letter. l month old.
 The first principle of the newspaper is to consider the latest news. Matter ! month old is not news" The edi- .orial stating that the department en- ,ourages dimming headlights was based upon news" received from the notor vehicle department the very lay the editorial was written, while he statement of the "Courant" was based upon information obtained a nonth ago. Who slept?
 It is the desire of the "Herald' to york in cooperation with the motor ehicle department. If the attitude f the department in the future is al cred on this matter, or on any other, he Herald" will certainly make that act known.

Most of Ryerson's clothing was torn from his body and he re- ceived several deep scratches on his hands and face. The wildcat gave up the fight after a few minutes and made its escape to the woods.
