Must Chip Off Abutment
 To Remove VandalS' Mark

An eighth of an inch of material will have to be taken from the face of abutments in front of the voca- tional building of the Senior High school by expert stone cutters in an effort to remove the numerals "27" which were painted on the building Monday evening. According to the findings of William Bollman. super intendent of the buildings, the paint used by the vandals contained spe- cial fluid which sank an eighth of an inch into the surface of the stone.
 Whether the vandals. who com- mitted the act, purchased the paint with the intention of having it sink into the stone could not be ascer- tained by Mir. Bollman.

WANT S7,500 FOR PARK bLEACHERS
Finance Board to Be Asked for
 Appropriation

Jackson, Miss. May F @-As flood waters slowly receded, plant CTS of Sunflower and Washington counties today were trekking back to their water-soaked homes. AL ready those whose plantations have emerged from the water have be. gun planting cotton.
 Despite the lateness of the plant ing and the damage by flood waters a crop of about 60 per cent of nor nal is expected. Termination in the fertile soil of the delta of Miss issippi is rapid. Reduction of acre. age due to the disaster will make labor available.
 Shortage of livestock is facing the returning caravans, hundreds of mules and horses were drowned, and unless stock is obtained quickly planting will be further delayed. Plans are being made by the de- partment of agriculture to supply mules. As railways into the sec- tion will be weeks restoring facili- ties, stock will be shipped as near as possible by rail and then driven to points of distribution.
 R. s. Wilson. state extension agent, has started a survey to deter mine needs of the section for plant ing and will make arrangements for quick delivery of seeds and food stuffs.
 The lateness of the season will prevent planting of corn, but soy beans and COW peas will be raised for use as winter feed.
 A committee of three representing the school and park boards will go before the board of finance and tax ation at it's next regular meeting with a request that the board appro- priate $500 for bleachers at Memo- roal field in Willow Brook park for the annual New Britain and Hart ford Public High school football game which is scheduled to be play ed in this city next fall.
 A jont meeting of the park board and committee from the school board was held in the park depart ment office last evening, and it was the opinion of the members that. while the offer of loca bank to finance the construction of the bleachers if 100 men of financial backing would sign their names to a note, was a good offer, 1t was thought that the better plan would be to have the coiy appropriate the 
 The committee of three who will make the request of the park board are Judge William F. Mangan, of the park board, Henry T. Burr, sec- retary of the school board and Ralph B. Wainwright, superintend- ent of the park department.
