 While Drys Renew Pledge to Fight
 Every Effort to Repeal Amendment

H. Curran, president of the Asso- citation Against the Prohibition Amendment, who noted that "the wet tide is still coming in"
 Curran claimed wet gains in the house of representatives of 37 seats with more to come on election day" He asserted the drys had not won a single seat in the primaries. The en- thusiasm expressed at this result was tempered with the observation go before congress catches up with the people on this question, but we are on our way and we cannot be stopped"
 The pledge of the prohibitionists said:
 Believing in the success of na- tional prohibition, so completely proved by the blessings it has brought to the American people, that our most bitter opponents dare not advocate the restoration of the sa- loon, we declare our purpose to re- sist to the last every effort to repeal the amendment by which the liquor traffic is outlawed-the sure bull wark that blocks the way to the re- turn of the saloon.(

MORROW LEAVES
 POST IN MEXICO
Will Rest on Ranch Before
 Returning to Home

Mexico City, Sept. IS P-A train twining northWard today through the Mexican Cordillera carried Dwight W. Morrow, retiring ambas- sador, toward his own country. where in November he will stand for election in New Jersey for a United States senatorial toga.
 His three years~of service below the Rio Grande ended, MT. Morrow who came to Mexico from a part nership in the Morgan banking en- terprise, took homc with him today the official thanks of President Or tiz Rubio and Foreign Secretary Genaro Estrada and a warm fare well of the populace. Both lauded his work, detailed his accomplish nents here,' and expressed the hope that he soon would come back to Mexico.
 He has shown himself to be a great friend to Mexico,' the presi- dent said.
 The foreign secretary asserting that before MT. Morrow came, Mexi- co maintained toward the United States a constant attitude of de- fense and unconfiding vigilance commented: now there remains Hone of the troublesome problems which existed at the time of his arrival"
 MT. Morrow's last official act in Mexico was as dean of the diplo- matic corps, when in company with other diplomats. the president and members of the cabinet he review ed the massed colors of the Mexican army as they marched past the golden winged monument to inde- pendence on the beautiful Paseo De La Reforma. Tens of thousands watched the ceremony, which was the final act in Mexico's celebra- ton or the 120th anniversary of the fight for independence.
 Other thousands gathered at the Colonia station to bid the ambassa- dor and Mrs. Morrow goodbye. Among the crowd were statesmen, members of the American colony business men, soldiers, and. unique ly, the football team of the Mexico City University, who gave football cheer for MT. Morrow as the train bearing his private car pulled out or the station. The crowd had form ed a queue to shake hands with the har hn 1aff
 MT. Morr6w was to proceed to a ranch near Dawson, New Mexico, to spend few days before going to Washington to present his resigna- tion as ambassador to President Hoover. He will go from Washing. ton to Englewood. New Jersey, tc press his candidacy for the United States senate. He expects to reacf Dawson Monday morning.

It appears to me that there is an amount of current debt which exceeded the amount report ed by the treasurer by. several hun dred thousand dollars and that this was known to the board of select men when they made provision in the budget for payment of interest on such debt.
 Suggests Correction
 'In connectioni with this subject. opportunity is taken to say to you that I have no interest in the affairs of the Town of Windham other than that which comes to me officially. The citizens of Windham have diff ferent interest They have an inter- est in seeing to it that the accounts of the town are properly kept and that when the reports are made and published that accurate information is furnished to them through the town officials whom they select to manage the affairs of the town. Figures furnished to the citizens of any community which are mislead- ing and incorrect, whether made so purposely or through inadvertence should be immediately corrected if not by the treasurer then by others who are in the management of the towns affairs. Thus,<I write to you as first selectman of the town and suggest the advantage of immediate ly furnishing information to the public of the discrepancy in the printed report last published by the town of Windham."

 In addition to straight-out wet victories he counted in the primaries of Tuesday, Curran said the narrow margin by which the dry William M. Butler defeated a wet opponent for the republican senatorial nomination in Massachusetts convinced every body but Butler" that the former chairman of the republican national committee would be defeated in the November election by his wet demo- cratic opponent, Marcus A.

Curran Claims Prohibition ists Did Not Win Single Seat in Nominations - Says Butler Will Lose to Democrat in Bay State.

Washington, Sept. IS CP - The completion on Tuesday of the years primary elections drew expressions of distinct pleasure at the results from wet leaders, while the generals of the prohibition forces refrained from direct comment but took occa- sion to pledge themselves to resist every effort towards repeal of the dry laws.

FIND DISCREPANCY
 IN TOWNS BOOKS
Fenton Again Nominated for
 Job Despite Latest Criticism

Willimantic, Sept. 1S-Rumors of lack of system in bookkeeping meth ods in town of Windham offices and a demand for an audit of the books which led some time ago to the formation of the Windham Taxpay- CTS Protective association were strengthened yesterday when Will liam Bucks first select1han, received letter from William H. Blodgett. state tax commissioner.
 Blodgett, it is said, wrote that he found "a glaring discrepancy" ih the 1929 report of Town Clerk and Treasurer Frank P. Fenton and that the town debt of $173,5OO reported by the treasurer is nearer half a million dollars.
 Fenton refused to make any state ment regarding the contents of the letter which, he said, he had not re- ceived yesterday. He is seeking re- election to the post which he has held for 31 years and said that pub licity given Blodgetts statement would not affect his candidacy.
 Two years ago Fenton was a dem ocratic nominee for lieutenant gov ernor. Monday evening the demo- crats again picked him for his pres ent post by exclamation. Although he frequently received the 'indorse- ment of the republicans, the G. o. P. this year nominated Harold c. Lin coin to oppose him.
 Questions Interest
 The discrepancy to which the commissioner refers is an item pro- viding $25,O0O for interest on notes," contrasted with "current debt" of s173,5O0. If the debt of the Town of Windham were s175,- 500 at the rate of per cent" he wrote to Buck, the interest thereon would amount to $10,3S0 instead of S25, Inquiry into this subject elicited information that the current dent in fact amounts to some s500,- 900 or S600,000 ia lieu of s173,500 as reported"
 An officer of the Taxpayers nsso- citation said the same discrepancy had been noted by local business men and had led to the formation of the association. The group de- manded an audit of the town books and had a resolution to that effect passed at a town meeting.
 The Musgrave company of Hart ford now has five accountants en- gagged on the work, which, according to the contract, will be completed by November IS.
 Commissioner Blodgett's letter reads in part as follows:
 q desire,> and in fact insist, that reports made to this department shall be correct. Errors in reports inadvertently made appear witt more or less frequency in the print. ed reports of the towns but no such glaring discrepancies have appeared in any other reports which have come to my attention as appear in the report from Windham in the items to which reference has been made.
 Since studying this subject l have been able to obtain information which confirms my suspicion that the current debt amounted to sev- eral hundred thousand dollafs in eX- cess of that reported. It appears therefore that it was known to the selectmen when the budget was made that the interest items of s25,- 1000 shown in the report was vastly in excess of the amount needed for

VAST ART DISPLAY
OPENING PLANNED
Burlington House to Contain
Treasures Thousands of
Years Old.

LONDON (N.A.NA).-Although the
great exhibition of Persian art does not
open at Burlington House until Janu-
ary, active preparations have been GO
ing on for months for what is likely
to be one of the most wonderful COL
lections of treasures ever housed under
one roof.
The exhibits will cover the work of
several thousand years, from the far
off days when Darius was king to the
time of the great Shah Abbas and his
successors, and they are valued at
The Shah of Persia, sponsor of the
about $15,OO0,000.
exhibition, has sanctioned the sending
Of anything selected from the imperial
collections and from the famous Shrine
of Imam Ria at Meshed and the
Shrines of Ardabil and Gum. Many
works are being lent by the great
mosques of Persia.
Great in Variety.
There will be architectural sections
and ornaments, including examples of
flgural stucco relief from the fifth to
the twelfth century; some 1,500 draw
ingS, miniatures and illuminations !;
5000 examples of gold, silver and
bronze work; thousand old brocades
and velvets, many hundred examples
of painted and enameled pottery and,
of course, numbers of carpets, includ-
ing 20 of the finest known silver, gold
and silk carpets, generally called polo
naise.
American museums and millionaire
collectors have managed to acquire
most of the best Islamic art that has
been allowed to leave the East, and
many of these treasures are being sent
to London for the exhibition. One of
the most valuable things that will be
shown is coming from New York. This
is the ibex head, now owned by Mr..
Joseph Drummer, which was dug up
in Volhynia century ago and is held
by many experts to be the most Won
derful piece Of animal sculpture of its
kind in the world.
NOtabIes on Committee.
On the committee organizing the ex-
hibition are Sir Reginald Bloomfield,
Lord Zetland, Mrs. Emile Mond, Lord
Londonderry, the Duke of Alba and
Mrs. Philip Snowden.
Meanwhile London Is becoming
markedly Eastern-minded. Every one
Is seeking information on the subject
of Persian art, and the more frivolous
gayeties of the little season are being
tempered with lectures on Persia and
the Persians, the culture OF Egypt and
other kindred subjects.
Dress, too, is being influenced by the
coming exhibition, and to Lady How
and de Walden belongs the honor of
being the first hostess in London to
give Persian ball.

'OH|OAN CUTS CORN
PRODUCTION COST
PIoWs, Plants and HarveSts
Crop by Use of Motorized
Equipment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LARUE, Ohio, December i.-C. II.
CUTLERY, a farmer of Larue, saws the
price of corn is of little concern to him.
He has learned to produce it at total
cost of only 81 cents a bushel
He does 1T on mass production basis,
blowing, planting and harvesting by
machinery.
1t costs him 81 cents an acre to plow,
he says, pulling three 18-inch plows at
the rate OF / y acres an hour. Prepara-
ton of the seed bed, done by combi-
nation OF tools which cover 2b to 3
acres an hour, costs 48 cents an acre.
Planting costs % cents an acre, and
harvesting, including cribbing, costs
$1.14 an acre.
Actual Expenditures.
The costs enumerated, CUTLERY says,
are actual expenditures for labor, gas,
oil and repairs on the implements. In
figuring his total cost of 81 cents a
bushel he includes cultivation, interest
and tax on the land; interest, taxes, de-
probation and upkeep on the machin-
cry, as well as cost of seed and fertilizer.
1T requires only Az man hours for
us to raise an acre of corn" he says,
and our average yield is so bushels to
the acre"
Don't worry about the market" he
advises. That's no longer a source of
complaint with me in corn growing"
CUTLERY uses three planters in a sin
gle unit, covers five rows at a time at
the rate of Z acres an hour with the
rotary hoe and pulls wagon along
with his one-row picker to gather the
corn without extra labor and power.
Profits to Depend on Cost.
From other sections of the corn belt
come reports of sympathetic leaning to
the theory, advanced by the Farm Board
for one, that agricultural profits may
depend as much on a lower cost of pro-
duction as on rise in prices.
An Iowa farmer, using 6 and 8 horse
bitches, produced corn for a total out
lay of 21I2 man hours an acre. Use of
labor depends considerably, however, on
how it is employed and the number of
operations completed.
Whereas one Iowa farmer produced
corn up to the period of harvesting at a
cost Of 2.8 man hours an acre, 2 tractor
hours and 3.2 horse hours, another used
6 man hours, AZ tractor hours and 4.8
horse hours.
Bettering Guthery's Az man hours
an acre, including harvesting, is the
record of an Iowa farmer who, using
motor equipment entirely, spent only 36
man hours an acre on his corn, as COM
pared to 300 man hours an acre where
all operations were performed by hand
