relationship between sunspot and
weather.
When spots are varying in number
as they are, 1t Is sometimes easy to
juggle figures in order to prove a con.

also varies. In 80 per cent Of the
cases the connection is illusory."

REGULATING POTATOES

Even the lowly potato crop Is be- ing regulated nowadays -- and all in the interest Of good prices and satisfactory income to growers.
 The crop reporting service for New England tells us that New England farmers this year are go- ing to plant only 9S.7 per cent Of acreage devoted to potatoes last year. In Maine and Connecticut where organization of soil-tillers is most complete. tho largest curtail- ments will take place. 95 and 9i per cent respectively. In New Hampshire, Vermont and Massa- chusetts, where organization Is of more tenuous nature. the inde- pendent growers will plant a slightly larger acreage 10 potatoes. To keep things even with the in- creasing population it is said New England should plant seven per cent more to potatoes than last year Instead there will be Is per cent less.
 The result: Watch prices atte- the 1926 crop.

TRIMMING THE EX-KAISER

They certainly have a grudgc against Mir. Hohenzollern In his late imperial domain.

This was B. 100000 more signors than ncces- sary.
 Then, if the Reichstag doesn't vote against the eX-kaiser, the pc tition demands 8 plebiscite.
 In other words, the Germans arc intent upon confscattng the Hohen- zollern property.
 Putting property rights to a popular vote Is certain 10 result in conhscation nine-tenths of the time,
 The Germans are playing with ire. Such q matter should be left 70 the courts.

Congressman William A, oldheld.

Business Is not good, he says, except in spots; tho textile mills and shoe mills "are running on part time, and agriculture Ia being destroyed"
 What he fails 10 mention is that the textile mills are having trouble due to the era Of short skirts, which requires less goods. and the shoe industry suffers because peo. ple are getting about on tires.
 The tariff Is the big issue, says the senator.

CIRCUS PARADES

There are only a dozen circus organizations left in the country. whereas decade sgo there were at least twenty But Of circus parades, those spectacular exhib!- tions at the noon hour through the downtown sections Of the cities "honored" by circus attractions, there Is likely to be hone left at all in the near future, if the decision Of circus managers made the other day holds good.
 IL Is rather hard 10 imagine circus coming to a town and not having a downtown parade with the loud-pined steam calliope leading the procession of red wagons, blar- Ing Jazs bands and clowns. Yet that is what the circus managers propose to do.
 One can easily sec the logic Of their standpoint. IL isn't the added expense Of paradine --- as such ex- penso Is balanced by the added in- terest aroused - but the difficulties and hazards Of modern traffic con ditions In the downtown sections of cities. A circus parade no longer can have everything It's own way. but must contest the highways with the multitude of automobiles that congest it. This has taken all the joy out Of the proceeding, it seems, and many city authorities have be- come so hard-hearted as not 10 ap- preciate the value of having a cir GUS outfit clutter up tho main streets, even for the benefit of the awed public on the sidewalks.
 The objection Of trained circus performers 10 take part in such processions also readily can be un- derstood. The temperamental stunt performers. who take their lives in their hands daily 10 furnish thrills to the crowds in the tents, cannot be argued with very readily. and Of late years they have come 10 have objections against participat- ing In the noontimc forays into the heart of cities. IL added 10 the length Of the working day and yielded very small need of satis. faction. And without the stars of the circus in limo an important part of tho "come-o on" preliminary was lacking.
 The biggest circus on the circuit winters In Connecticut ---- at Bridge port. The Nutmeg state, therefore, regards the circus business as q sort of local industry SO far as this one is concerned. The others win ter in tho west and south. The process Of Tintcring is not exactly simple, as Bridgeporters can testify, it being necessary 10 keep the ami mals through their paccs every day 10 prevent them from forgetting their acts. The animal trainers are 1 the busiest part of the business ali winter. We don't sympathize with the animal trainers so much as we i do with the animals. Most animal acts are said 10 require cruelty.

The purpose of the Gooding bill was to make it possible for trans continental railroads to charge less Not q haul to the Pacific coast than 10 intermediate points, so as 10 en- able them 10 compete with the Panama canal.
 The bill was defeated in the Sen ate. Two years ago q similar bill passed in the Senate but vas de- featcd In the House. A week ago the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion refused the petition of seven railroads for permission to charge lower rates 10 the Pacific than to intermediate points.
 The Gooding bill would have transferred rate-making powers on this point from the l. C. c. 10 Con gross where it would have been subjected 10 political considera- lions. This would have been a step backward. The radical element in Congress voted for the bill; Ring- ham and Mclean and inc other conservatives voted against fl. The conservatives were right in this in- stance. If the railroads could charge lnsa 10 the Pacific in order 10 com pete with the Panama canal, peo- pie elsewhere would have had 10 foot the difference. It would haNo been like handing subsidy 10 inc railroads and giving q black eye to the canal.
