Postal Inspector r. G. Mel.
lish was in White Bluffs Mon
day going over the proposed
extension Of the rural ronte.
The rules do not permit inspec-
tors to give out any advance
information in regard to any
recommendations they may
make to the Department but
Inspector Mellish seemed to be
favorably impressed and it is
quite probable that he will re-
commend the extension. In
this event authorization from
the Department to make the
changes and extension can be
looked for within the next two
or three weeks.

sample of the attitude of railroad of- ficials that does not fit well with the public"
 The facts are quite different The so -called wrangle with the Pullman company was purely technical one where the former company claimed that since the New Haven has lost its majority ownership in the Boston and Maine, the Pullman company is under no obligation to fulfill the terms of contract made when the New Haven owned majority of the Boston and Maine stock, so far as the contract covers the Boston and Maine. It is well known that the New Haven's in terest in the Boston and Maine, held through the medium of the Boston Railroad Holding company. is 2SB per cent of the stock and that it voted on that amount at the last meeting; that this was a reduction from 51 per cent owned several years ago, the re- duction being due to the increased stock issue of the Boston and Maine in connection with its reorganization, the ownership of the New Haven re- maining the same, but the percentage was, reduced. The question at issue with the Pullman company was not the amount of the New Haven's in- terest, but whether in the eyes of the law that represented such an interest as to bring the Boston and Maine un- der the Pullman contract.
 The interest of the New Haven in the Boston and Maine has been open and aboveboard and been repeatedly stated to the public.
 Yours very truly,
 F. $. AUCKLAND.

THE, DROUGHT

Connecticut is suffering from the worst drought in 22 years, according to weather sharks, and heavy damage has been done to it's growing crops,
 Numerous cities of the state are in danger of suffering from a lack or sufficient water for drinking purposes. New Britain, fortunately, is better Sit uated in this respect, Insuring an adequate water supply under all con- ditions is one thing in which New Britain has shown excellent foresight. The Shuttle Meadow reservoir is still harboring 20 feet of water, with no indications of shrinkage; and even should this occur. the city has the pumping station at Forestville to rely upon. The water department assures as that there is nothing to fear no matter how long the drought lasts.
 Conditions in the rural districts are different. Once the crops are all but ruined they cannot be brought back to normal. The loss to farmers cannot be recovered except partly by higher prices for the remaining crops; but as 4 rule the farming community has no voice in setting the price of what they sell that being determined by the quantity of produce in the markets
 Despite the wonderful mechanism ,f nature, 1t does not work perfectly Thcre sometimes is waste and suffer- ing in it's wake. In the production ot food, mankind from time immemora- ,le has been thrown upon the vagaries ,f the clements. Back in the heydeS ,f old Egypt there was system whereby the surplus of the fat years sqas stored for use during the ln- ,vitabis lean years. We moderns have much to learn from the methods or he past in dealing with the "hins If nature.

 Within the past si hours an afsar menl between the war department and Gag, eharlss W, Bryan Of Nebraska has clarified matters slightly, fl aps pears that the kebraska governor, who also happens 10 he pavis's runs ming mate on the Democratic ticket. told officials Of the National Guard In Nebraska that their plan seems plainly to point ta ths participation of civic forces in the exercises Of the day and making Il q general holiday" The governor, m waving aside this feature Of The plan, which he said was not contemplated by the national defense aet, ordered The national guard 10 assemble and promised committees would he appointed "ta urge patriotic societies 10 hold services as eon- tomplated hy the war department plans"
 Republican party organs today rock with denuneiaiions of Bryan for his views and his temerity in taking Issue with President Coolidge on mohilisa- lon plans. Democratic papers, Of course. will come to his rescue, and the entire defense day proposal Is thrown into the maolstrom Of political dis, eussion.
 Today the var department "an- swered Bryan" The answer Is not very comforting 10 the Republican party press. Here Is paragraph from the Associated Press night report: "The war department statement de- elared that such plans as Gov. Bryan has authorized for observance of de- fense day--ordering assembly of Na- tional Guard organizations under his control and appointing local commit tees--will enable the department 10 carry out it's plan in the state of Me- braska completely"
 Somebody in Nebraska evidently make mistake but 1t wasn't Bryan. It appears to have been the militia commander, who apparently showed | Bryan some of the unauthorize plans which have been arousing opposition. The war department in its statement today definitely shelves the claim that here would be a civilian mobilization, saying that the nearest approach to his is that civilians who volunteer heir services for the day will be per nitted to parade with the National Iuard in order that the process Of mobilization may be stimulated. "The act that all participation by civilians n the defense test is purely voluntary ,as been emphasized in all instruc- ions in regard to the test" the state nent said.
 The war department should hold It's friends in check; the cause Of defense ay has been harmed by too much nthusiasm in certain circles and 1t ppcars that unauthorized plans are nore numerous than official plans, f the war department can wiegle out i f the slough of politics into which : he plan has been allowed to seep, and r he day is observed in a rational man. { eG and not on playing war basis c ven the critical Democrats may be isarmed, ',
