WILL
KEEP VET
POST

Brig. Gen. Herbert M. Lord
soon will retire as Director of
the Budget, having already
submitted his resignation to
President Hoover.
This fact was officially made
known today, but there was no
intimation as TO whether the
President had requested the resigna.
tion or whether General Lord was
retiring voluntarily.
Rather Surprise
Until today it was geperally
understood that General Lord. who
has been chief of the Budget
Bureau since 1922. when Charles
G. Dawes, resigned, would remain
for an indefinite tenure. General
Lord was represented as being
desirous of staying In office and 1t
was said President Hoover was
equally desirous that he remain
there.
Along with the disclosure of the
fact that General Lord would re.
tire 1t became known that Brig.
Gen. Frank T. Hines win remain
az director of the Veterans Bureau
under the new administration.
The Budget Bureau has been the
administrative agency of the Cool
idRe economy program for the past
seven years, and General Lord
throughout that period has welded
the sharpest kind Of a pruning
knife on all Federal expenditures.
Successor Unknown
The District of Columbia, along
with scores of other governmental
agencies. has felt the effect of his
financial bfue pencil. but he has
always been supported by former
President Coolidge in his many
cuts in the local estimates.
There is no inkling as to who
his successor will be or as to the
day on which General Lord will
leave his office. 1t appears prob
able that President Hoover will
select a budget adviser from the
corps of experts now in Federal
employ.

Con Men Duping old
And Feeble Persons
-Underwood Z Underwood

Rohschid director of the Washington Better Bus
ness Bureau today issued warning the citizens of Wash
ington against con men who have been operating their
game against old and feeble people of the city.
The Washington times., 1929-03-11

According to Rothschild the oper-
ators will approach the person, al
ways one who is very old. or very
feeble, and gain his or her conf.
dence by many devices.
When they had finally worked
their way into the confidence OF
the persons they were working"
they would inquire about their
investments and savings. They
would then offer advice on the
matter.
One of the operators, Rothschild
declared, had gained the confidence
of a very old bed-ridden woman
and advised her to invest proceeds
of some very good stock she owned
in another com .,any he was form
ing. He said that this company
would pay a large dividend on the
Investment The woman consented
and gave him the key to her safe
deposit box and Identification
papers so that he might bring the
stocks to her.
The operator. RothschiId said,
secured the stock, and then gave
the woman a receipt in the form
of pron1issory note, after making
various promises to take care of
her interests.
All the old woman has is the
note. The majority Of her lie
savings are gone and, according to
Rothschild. she has very little re.
dress to. law.
He declared his organization is
going to pursue that operator and
others like him until they are

on the screen when a lurid flame
flashed across the silver sheet.

work OF turning on the lights prob

people in the crowd. The rush

and reassured the crowd in a voice
that reached over the noise Of the
panic.
'"The fire is out. Take your

to break the panic also.

TIM FL Y FAR M TOPICS
 by ihe County Agricuitural Agent

In the minds of the farmer there seems tc be little doubt of the fact that higher producing cows will bring greater net returns to the dairymen. Yet with this fact substantiated in their minds they do not seem to make any definite progress toward better cows. Only last week m talking to prominent farmer in the county he said mere 6.000-pound ccws have paid off mortgages on farms in Wind ham County than S,000-pound ones" He was correct bus the mortgages could have been paid off quicker with the higher producing cows.
 One of the biggest factors in get ting higher producing cows is that of using purebred sires particularly for those men who are raising calves. This fact has been brought out in all types of farm papers and in Exten- sion programs for the past five or ten years.
 This summer survey was taken by county agents throughout the state to find out actually what practices the farmers were following. So sar 114 surveys have been taken in the various towns of Windham County and we find on this one practice alone that only fifty-eight farms or 51ae cf the farmers, own purebred bulls. Twenty-eight herds are headed by grade bulls and twenty-eight herds have no bulls.
 The average production of these herds given by the farmers them selves in terms of quarts per day was 6.400 pounds per year for all herds. The herds owning purebred bulls av- eraged 6.575 pounds and those head ed by grade bulls only 5,s60 pounds per year.
 This is difference cf 7l5 pounds per COW which if sold at 71a cents per quart or S3.50 per hundred weight, would mean S25.more income per year from each COW. In herd of ten cows this would mean S250 more per year. Could you use S250 more a year, CT if you have more cows, just S25. per COW more?
 To the farmer who doesn't raise calves | can only say that it IS not a. necessary for him Go have a purebred bull to increase his production Yet the usual practice is to sell the calves to a dealer and he in turn sells them tc someone to raise. You may buy that eaf back again as a grown heif- er. If you don't someone else may, all Of which has a tendency so keep the cows on the market of a lower producing capacity.

CORONER IN COURT TOLD
 MAN IS FOUND DEAD
Body of Albert B. Johnson, Re- cluse, Discovered Lying
 Near Shack
He Had Been Drinking Heavily When
 Last Seen Alive

While attending a short calendar session of the superior court in Put nam last Friday morning, County Coroner Arthur G. Bill of Danielson was called t0 the telephone and was informed that the body of a man had been found in Elliott. The coroner went to the scene and viewed the body and gave permission for it's removal. Smith < Walker brought the body to their undertaking rooms in Putnam where it was viewed by Dr. $. B. Over lock, medical examiner of Pomfret. No autopsy was performed. lt is be- lieved death was due to natural causes.
 The man was Albert E. Johnson, 55, who lived alone in a shack in remote section. Neighbors in passing the place had noticed that the front door of the squalid home of the reeluse had remained open for nearly week. The state police were notified of the fact that Johnson had not been seen and the condition at the shack.
 Evidence of Struggle
 Lieutenant Ross Y. Urquhart and a detachment of officers from the Dan ielson barracks went to Elliott. Ly-  ing in the grass about 100 feet from the opened front door of the building they found Johnsons body. The grass was considerably trampled, evidence that Johnson had struggled or thrash cd about considerably until overtaken by death.
 It is said that Johnson had been married but that he was divorced. His former wife Is now Mrs. Eleanor Rogers, a resident of Northford, near North Haven. 4 search of the shack brought to light a bank book showing a substantial sum of money on de posit. About thirty dollars in cash was also found. This was secreted in different places within the house.
 Johnson was a laborer. He worked spasmodically. He was devoted to fishing, hunting and trapping during the open season. He was last seen alive the Saturday before his body was discovered and it is said had been drinking heavily at that time.
