American people by refusing to
make public the secret CORE

Gag Rule Threat
In the midst of Administration
threats to impose gag-rule on the
Senate. friends and foes Of the
treaty neared an agreement for a
final vote next week.
This agreement was in pros

threat, but because AdminiStra-

night sessions.

sign a petition for cloture, a
parliamentary maneuver seldom

force a final vote.
The petition was withheld, but
Administration leaders were ready
to invoke it if an agreement was

DROUGHT IN VA
IS CRITICAL
wave is a new one.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Aug.
22.-With the worst drought this
section of Virginia has expert
enced in years still unbroken,
farmers in many sections Of the
surrounding counties face critical
conditions. Wild life is suffering
to an unprecedented extent, &C.
cording to reports received from
various sources. Fields are burned
to an autumn brown, foliage on
trees turning to a pale yellow,
and the beds Of once abundant
streams are devoid Of traces OF
water.
AS a result, cattle and stock
are suffering and farmers are
compelled to haul water for miles
in order to keep the stock alive.
Farmers face an additional
hazard from forest fires which, in
usual circumstances, are Of no
danger at this season of the
year.
At Fredericksburg. where the
Government maintains a branch
observation bureau, the annual,
average rainfall up to the present
is 1927 inches sub-normal, while
the average high, mean, and low
temperatures are above normal.
Since the latter part Of May
there have been in this section
only three rainfalls, all occurring
in July, and bringing a total pre-
cipitation Of only 4.S9 inches. This
is less than the average rainfall
for July alone. The rainfall in
May was less than the average
amount for that month and fol
lowed a period of unusual dry
weather from the latter part Of
March through April.
AS result, farmers in this Sec
ton have lost crops, but, up to
the present, no stock. Lack of
rain in the spring reduced early
hay to a low yield, where there
was any yield at all. and the wheat
crop, which was not bad on an
average, went on the market at a
low price. Corn was practically a
total failure, and there was no late
hay. Consequently, most farmers
are without sufficient feed to
carry them through the winter and
without sufficient money with
which to buy it.
Bad crop conditions last year,
coupled with the appallingly poor
condition of this year, leaves them
practically without resources for
obtaining money. Most Of them
already owe money to the banks
and have nothing to offer on
which they can procure more
money except their future crops.

the Vice President is the official
,"diner out" in every adniniStra-

Curtis, who has returned from a

he has learned how to eat with
out risk of indigestion.
In Newport and other New Eng
land resorts, the Vice President
was honor guest at various break
fastS, luncheons, dinners, ban
quets, and dances, although he
explains that he doesn't dance
and cannot stay up as late as the
rest of them-until dawn or there
aboutS.
Learns the Trick
Mr.. Curtis was asked how he
withstood the gastronomic pressure
at so many meals and receptions.
He laughed and said:
"T have learned how to eat.

thing on the courses; that is, /
can't eat everything put before
me, tempting though it be.
