DEBIT

Figures made public by the [. s. Department of Agriculture reveal that the debt on Connecticut farms increased $161.000 in three years. This is not much of an increase when spread over an entire state. IL may mean one of two things: That ali farmers. including tobacco rais- CTS, have been finding the sledding harder; or that there has been an accession of farmers who borrowed in order to get into agriculture. The latter, we think, are negligible in this state, One is forced to conclude, therefore, that the figures yield a reliable birds eye view of decreas- ing prosperity upon Connecticut farms. Connecticut agricuturists are in debt, as evidenced by farm mort gages, to the tune Of nearly $2Lo0o,- ooo.
 During the same period of three years the total of farm mortgage in- debtcdncss throughout the country as d whole increased by $10S,O00, 900, or one per cont; the total is between nine and 10 billions of dollars of farm debt
 This is taken to mean that the need for farm relief is nationwide. No doubt the sunposition is true. Yet debts on the farms, if seems to lis are no more common than debts in inc cities and towns,
 Who in the cities buys a house, for instance, and pays cash for it? Many os-ensiblc house owners devote a lifetime 10 paying off the mortgages and large proportion never pay off the first mortgage so as to mako it possible 10 sell the place easier il this is found desirable.

 Faces Murder Charge
 Mrs. Pantages is on trial on charges of second degree murder. District Attorney Buron l'itts threw defense plans into apparent tenn porary confusion yesterday by per sonally entering the case and win ming, after a dramatic appeal 10 the court. permission to reopen th.. states case. t'itts asked and was granted an opportunity to pro- pound to physicians testifying for the state a 1,500 word hypothetical question asked of defense physicians by Max Steuer, chief defense coun- sel. The defense physicians tes:i- fed that Rokumoto died under an anaesthetic administered during an operation subsequent to the accideH; and that his injuries did not col- tribute to his death.
 A spirited clash between I'itts and Steur marked the states argument for admission of state testimony on the hypothetical question propound- ed first by the defense.
 Let us not forget" said Pitts. "after everything is said and done, that Rokumoto would be alive to- day had it not been for Mrs. Pan tages here. It is not the doctor who administered the anaesthctic who is the murderer-but Mrs. pantaEcs.

 The practice is to collect lightly cancelled stamps from waste bas- llcts and to obliterate the cancolla- ton ink by thorough washing. The stamps are then gummed and the Chinese coolie sells them openly along the main thorough fares for half their face value.
