State HAS No
BONDED Debt
(By the United Press)

Wisconsin is one OF the three
states in the Union having no
bonded debt, according to figures
compiled land published by sthe
Bank or America, New York City
The two other states are Nebraska
and Kentucky.
Wisconsin's u1ter lack Of in
ternal Indebtedness is due to a
constitutional provision calling for
a pay as you go" policy. The sin
gle amendment to the original law
prohibiting the state from placing
itself in debt was a result Of leg
islation in 1928. Far sfghtedness
in the matter of a possible future
forestry program calling for the
expenditure of more money than
could be raised in the ordinary
channels provided by the constitu
ton was responsible. This far
sightedness prevailed upon con-
servatism to provide for years
ahead when Wisconsin will be
called upon by public sentiment
and rapidity diminishing Of the
natural beauty and utility of the
forests of the state to furnish enor-
nous sums of money for mainten-
ance and restoration.
That it is the age of transporta
ton is established by charts show
ing that of the IL major purposes
of states indebtedness the highway
is far ahead Of all the rest with a
34.2 per cent ratio.
When it is remembered that de-
velopment of state highway sys-
TENS is comparatively recent, the
total of 1925, S32,35O for this pur-
pose becomes significant. The fl
cure includes also the building and
maintenance of bridges. New York
leads the country in value of out
standing bonds for highway pur-
poses, having a debt of $9S,SO0, 100
incurred for road construction. Cal
ifornia holds second place with a
highway debt amounting to $685.
42S, 900.
Soldiers bonus comes second in
the list of purposes with a total
of $287,O97, 900, or 1874 per cent of
the aggregate. Only II of the 48
states have issued bonds for this
purpose. The following table gives

CROP OUTLOOK
IS IMPROVED
fey the United Press


A promising corn crop, a smaller
tobacco acreage, and improved pas
lures were announced today in the
July l surveyed the State and Fed
eral Crop and Livestock Reporting
Service in Madison.
Corn is uneven in the northern
half of the state but Il southern
Wisconsin it has made fine growth
and is very thrifty. The proverbial
corn, knee high by the Fourth"
was waist high" in field after
field in that part of the state, the
report states. The appearance of
the crop has instilled a general
confidence among Wisconsin far
mers tina this will be a corn
year" reversing the poor results
of the past two seasons. The con-
dition of 80 per cent is three points
above the average of five years
for this date in Wisconsin, and in
the entire corn belt the crop is
like wise above the average.
The early pack of canning peas
proved to be extremely short in
many localities to so per cent of
a normal crop. The late crop, how
ever, is yielding well in most coun-
ties.
In southern Wisconsin grazing
has kept pastures shorter and in
poorer condition than in the rest
of the state. With plenty of mois
ture they promise to continue good
for some time.
Cabbage growers in Racine, Ken
osha and Outagamie counties have
planted practically the same cab
bage acreage as last year. New
York growers, with which Wiscon-
sin producers compete, have cut
their acreage about 10 per cent
due to low prices for the bumper
crop in that state last year.
In the sandy areas of the state
soy beans have lost favor and al
falfa has gained-bringing about a
reduction of 40 per cent in soy
bean acreage. In common with
western flax states, Pierce and St.
Croix counties have put in 1arg
err flax acreage. Sugar beets have
been planted to an acreage one
third less than last year.
Tobacco is grown in Wisconsin
for cigar binders, but a poor grow
ing season last year made a crop
low in quality and yield. Only five
per cent of the crop was fit for
Binders. The previous year an early
frost damaged 45 per cent of the
Wisconsin acreage. These hazards
and a slow market for cigar type
tobacco have brought a reduction
of 16 per cent in the acreage of
this state. Thirty three thousand
acres this year lis the smallest
acreage for the past % years. More
dairying and smaller tobacco acre
ages have come to be the rule in
the tobacco regions, and greater
effort is put forth to get high
yields and quality crops. The con-
dition of the crop in Wisconsin at
this time is excellent and the out
look for growers encouraging.

University of Maine, May 27-The
M. I. T. Beavers have Cancelled their
game with the u. of M. for Friday,
according to a statement made by
Manager Robert A. Tate. There was
no definite reason given for SO doing

HALL DWELL COME FROM BEHIND
and WINS over GARDINER, 3 TO z
Especial to Kennebec JournaD

Hallowell, May 27.-Staging a rally
in the eighth which had behind it the
punch that has decided many contests
of late, Hallowell High came from be-
hind and clinched a victory over Gar
diner High by the close score of 3D..
The game was regarded as the most
deciding contest of the league and the
local boys have greatly strengthened
their chances of winning the cham
pionship.
Gardiner was strong on the defense
and held the home team scoreless UNI
til the eighth, and several times Hal.
lowell was retired with men on second
and third. Davidson also aided in
keeping down the score with eight
strikeouts, although he was touched
up for l hits. W
Gardiner made strong bid for a
run in the opening canto. Although
Spearing famed, Webb knocked out a
long double, Stonier was out on a fly
to Ballard, Carbino hit Ware, and with
two men on Rose lifted the pill into
deep center only to be garnered by
Everett Hinckley. Hallowell threaten
men on, but Lucas was caught mapping
on second and thus retired the side.
Gardner did its scoring in the Sec
ond and third and from then on was
held scoreless by team work and the
pitching of Carbino, who, as the game
progressed, frightened up and famed
five men in the last three innings.
Gardiner started it's scoring in the
of
who did not handle it to retire the run
ner. Carbino gave free pass to Sey-
mour after tanning Stone, and the run
was scored on Davidson's hit into right
field. Spearing tried to repeat the
stunt but only hit into a double play,
Lucas to Johnson. The visitors again
scored in the third on an error, a clean
single and sacrifice. The second
score Of the inning was cut off by a
pretty peg from Lucas to Luce which
nailed Ware on home. From then on
pot Gardiner man crossed the plate,
And although Hallowell failed to score
until the eighth, there was no doubt
but what the score could have been
larger had there been a total absence
of bonehead plays or the zeal to kill
the ball.
Despite the downpour preceding the
game, one of the largest crowds that
ever assembled on the Muster Field
witnessed perhaps the closest and most
interesting game that will have been
played in the Kennebec Valleye League
this season. This is the last home
game of the season and the result sat-
isfied all of the sport followers in at
tendance.

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Waterville, May 27-The Colby
track team left this afternoon for
Philadelphia to take part in the Ma
tional intercollegiate track and field
meet which is to be held in the

l.. Mittlesdorf, '27, of West orange,
N. j.; Elmer NJ. Taylor, rs. of VIM
throp; Kenneth L. Wentworth, '25,
of Waterville and Russell F. Brown,

After the excellent showing which
these four stars made in the annual
meet of the New England colleges at
Boston last Saturday the students
of the college are in high hopes that
some of the men will be- able to
place in the greatest collection OF
college athletes of the year. All of
the men are in the best of condition
and Wentworth is well over the stale
period which he suffered last week
in the hammer throw.
The Colby team will MICS Captain
Roy c. Hearon, but the Colby leader
found it impossible to get away from
the college at the last minute be-
cause of the pressure of schola site
work just previous to the senior ex-
aminations and consequently will re-
main in WatervilIc. The men left on
the $3.50 train this afternoon in COM
pany with Manager William w. Ford,
'26, of WEitefield. The team will be

State baseball series this afternoon
by dropping another contest to the
University of Maine nine in a pecul-

though the game would have to be
cancelled because of the frequent
showers and exceedingly wet field
but it was agreed after four O'Clock
that the team would play until six
o'clock.
There was considerable discussion
about this as the game was to be
called on the tick of six o'clock

AS it was, the game was In the nrst

with one down and one Maine man
resting comfortably on first base.
Colby started of in the second by
putting run across the plate. the
sole counter that the locals made.
Maine pushed the tying counter over

in the fifth.
The Colby team showed a half
caring attitude throughout the game
and had numerous chances to score
but failed to put the necessary fight
into the game to win. Crozier held
the Colby batsmen in his grip

Playing in a style that won the
plaudits of a handful of fans and a
scattering of students, the Cony High
boys won a wildly exciting game
from Lewiston High to 3 in ten
frames on Williams field yesterday
afternoon.
It was easily the best game of the
season with Bob Hayden on the fir
ing line and plainly puzzling the
Spindle City lads with the exception
of one canto when they punched
blows with an error and walk for all
of their runs.
Scribner, the Lewiston High ace
proved far from effective and after
he had been found for four hits
which with some timely errors,
watchful Coach French yanked him
and Mathews was sent in who blank
ed Cony until the hectic tenth, when
Tiny Overlook cracked out the win
ming blow a pretty liner over short
that sent in Honk Webb who had
walked and taken second on Hay
den's neat suicide.
Pete Bradstreet had big day
with the willow one of his two sin
giles and his 3-ply shot all counting
in the scoring. Both Webb for Cony
and Robbins for Lewiston played a
whale of a game in the short gar
den. Honk in particular shining
when he went way over to second
and cut down what looked a sure
blow headed for center.
No small feature was the squeeze
play pulled off in the fourth which
was prettilX executed. With one
down Pete Bradstreet poled a long
one to right center and flashed the
plate when Bell tapped one to
Scribner. Cony also worked the
sacrifice game on three other occas-
sions and there were three who pill
fered the middle sack. Cony look

ACES TO GO TO

Especial to Kennebec Journap

Especial to Kennebec JournaD
University of Maine, May 27-The
University of Maine will send it's two
Star track men to Philadelphia Sat
urday to the I. c. A. A. A. A. games.
The two men whom Coach Frank
Kanaly has picked to go are Capt.
Hillman and Capt. Ring. Both of
these men are known the country
over, Ring for his climbing the tall
timbers and Hillman for his long
distance running.
Nothing much was heard about
Coach Kanaly's record breaker Carl
Ring until one night at the Portland
American Legion games the Maine
Captain equaled the world indoor
record. There was some talk as to
1t not being so. The big boy proved
to the fans that he was entitled to be
shareholder of the record for he
climbed the fences at the University
Gym one week later in the same time.
Ring showed all the track followers
in the State that were at the State
meet how the little trick was done
when he broke the state record both
in the morning and afternoon. His
time for the fight was Is is sec
onds. This did not only break the
State record but equaled the New
England record held by A. B. Shaw
of Dartmouth.
In the New Englands last Saturday
Carl equaled the record again in the
semi finals and was only beaten by a
hair in the final which was clicked at
the same time. The Bangor boy is
sure to make the people out in Phila-
delphia rub their eyes and see Coach
Kanaly's flying hurdler score some
points for the college way down East.
The track followers out New York
way will all be waiting to see the
sturdy little Maine cross country
star on the cinders. "Artie" Hillman
has shown them that he can do a
days work at cross country and will
do his best to show them the same
thing in the mile. Hillman first burst
into the hall of fame when in the fall
of '23 he placed second in the State
Meet. Third in the New England's
and fourth in the nationals.
The following spring running for
his first time in the mile won defeat
the fast field in the State meet.
Last fall Hillman showed that he
was real runner by taking first
place in the state meet, third in the
New England cross country run and
second at the nationals. This spring
he was nipped in the mile run at the
State meet by Archibald the Bates
Star. But the little runner from ISL
and Falls proved that he was one of
the best milers in New England when
he came third to Lasivee and Cavan-
augh.
Coach Frank Kanaly will go with
the boys. The coach has done well in
developing these stars and will give
the students something to be proud
of in the line of track teams in the
years to come.
