STAR LORE
THE FIXED STARS" ARE ALL
IN MOTION
DIV Arthur DeV. Carnentel

BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter
Distinguished from the planets
moving in their orbits around the
sun. are the fixed stars" The lat
ter appear fixed because they hold
the same relative positions to each
other during the course of several
centuries. But In reality all Of the
stars are in motion. In the year
I715 the astronomer, HALEY, dis
covered that both Arcturus and Sir
ius had changed their positions on
the celestial sphere since the time
they were definitely located by Pto-
lemy in the second century. Arc
turus had moved south one degree
which is twice the apparent dia-
meter Of the sun, and Sirius had
moved south half a degree.

LEGGE WILL PLEAD WHEAT ARGUMENT
Plans Western Invasion to
 Preach Curtailed Acreage

Washington, July 29,-(UP)- Chairman Legge of the federal farm board will carry his plea for reduced wheat acreage into the central and northwestern states during the next fortnight.
 Legge will leave Thursday for In Idiana polls to resume expoundIng Of his theory Of reduced acreage, which rapidly IS becoming a major congressional campaign issue in the grain states.
 Undismayed by the hot reception given the program by Governor Reed Of Kansas and the Kansas congressional delegation. Legge and Secretary Of Agriculture Hyde are unshaken in their belief it is the sole means of salvation for the american grain farmer.
 Legge summed Up his program in a brief sentence:
 We want to get the American wheat farmer out Of the export business" he explained.
 Our object in all CUT trips is 10 place before the producer informa- tion on the world wheat situation. If We can get our own wheat acreage adjusted. we don't care what the rest of the world does
 Tt is our judgment that the American farmer must get out of the wheat export market. He cant do it in one season. But that is what IS behind the acreage reduction plan"

WHEAT PRICES DROP

Chicago, July 29 [P-Wheat today outdid any low-price record hereto fore this season, whereas corn scored an early fresh advance. Breaks in wheat values were asso- ciated with showing that the United States heat visible supply is more than three times larger than usual.
 Corn advanced on account of widespread absence Of lain and be- cause of a statement ascribed to Chairman Legge of the federal farm board declaring corn crop conditions the worst since the corn famine Of 1901. Opening unchanged 10 h c off, wheat later shaved downturn all around, but then rallied. Corn started at 1c setback to 12c ad- vance, and afterward showed a sharp general upturn.

PROBATION OFFICE
 |SPART TIME MB Judge Ryder Sees No Need for
 Full Time Position NO APPOINTMENT MADE
Appeal Is Made to Public By Nurs-
 ing Association Championship Game to Be Played Thursday Eve
 ning-Annual Hotchkiss Reunion.

In commenting on the proposed plan to appoint probation officer for the town of Plainville, Judge Merritt o. Ryder of the town coult | stated that there Is only need for a part time officer. In his opinion the town is not in a position to pay "a full time officer and one is not needed because of the lack of sufi- cient work.
 Although Judge Ryder has re- ceived a number of applications, mostly by phone. he has not as yet found anyone who he thinks has the necessary requirements to hold the office of probation officer. Un- der the general statutes of the state. judge of the town or city court has the power to appoint and discharge probation officer.
 Judge Ryder believes that high school or college graduate should hold the position and because of the nature of the work should have very high qualifications. A probation of 7cer must understand human nature and especially the habits and ac- tions of children, and must know when 10 act and how to act at the right time
 The judge plans 10 take some definite action towards the appoint ment of an officer sometime in the near future. There have been nu- merous occasions of late in the To- cal court in which the services of a probation officer would have helped in the disposition Of the cases.
 Appeal For Clothing The Plainville Public Health Nursing association is making an appeal for clothing. bedding, towels and face cloths. These articles arc desired for family in urgent need and things especially needed are baby clothes of all kinds, night gowns, sheets, pillow cases, towels and face cloths. The articles need not be new.
