THOMPSON ID KEEP
 HIS STAFF INTACT
Town Clerk Will Recommend
 Primary Rival for Deputy
ANTICIPATES NO CHANGES
Veteran Official Believes Expcri- enced Workers Should Be Re taincd and Carries Over No Ran cor From Race For Nomination.

CoG ItiIl lldNC ot -NolIfbihticis
 Col Alfred L. Thompson, veteran town clerk, will recommend for ap- pointment as his deputy, Miss Jean Cochrane who has filled the position for 13 years and who was one of his opponents in the republican, primary.
 Clerk Thompson explained that the primary fight is over insofar as i he and his aide arc concerned and that it is his plan to maintain in- tact the experienced force which has long conducted the office of town | clerk.
 Mayor Must Make Appointment | Appointment of deputy is made | by the mayor upon recommendation of the official in charge of the of | fee. There has been but one in stance when the nomination has been rejected this happening in 1922 when Mayor Paonessa was in q lu 6 ui c+Sd tlllu pNi iOi iiiNN iii'' i'i t'' official act as mayor by refusing to sanction rc-appointment of Harry A Hargreaves. A few days later, Col. Thompson brought in the nomina- tion of Miss Cochrane, selection which met the mayors approval.
 Miss Cochrane has been connected with the office for 19 years. Dur ing absences of the town clerk she has been in charge Of the office giving her familiarity with the null tiple duties of this department.
 Enters Primary Race
 A few months ago when it was rumored that an effort would be made to displace Thompson as town clerk, then appoint a male deputy, Miss Cochrane was mentioned as a proba ble candidate for the clerkship. A few weeks before the primary she published a declaration that, in view of the assured opposition to Thomp- son in the primary election she would also seek the republican nom- ination. Harry F. Scheuy was the third contestant to enter.
 Miss Cochrane announced that. if elected, she would recommend ap- pointment of Col. Thompson as deputy, while Schcuy said a victory on election day for him would not result in the removal of the veteran clerk as member of the office force.
 Col. Thompson won the primary handily. The vote given him was nearly twice as great as that given Miss Cochrane, and three times as large as Scheuy's total.

RECIPE FOR CLEANING
BITUMINOUS MATERIAL

With many roads in the state being
treated, clipping from the State
Highway Department gives a recipe
for cleaning the oil and tar that ac-
cumulates from fast driving over the
freshly treated roads.
Mix one quart of lubricating
oil with one gallon of gasoline.
Apply and allow about five min
utes for this solution to dissolve
the bituminous material. Then
wash with mild soap and water.
This must be done before oil or
tar has hardened.
SCATTERING cars with bituminous
road material can be avoided if all
drivers will slow down to moderate
speed when going over roads where
treatment is in progress.

Return Of Money to Pre-War
 Level His Belief

Boston, Dec. 10 LPj The grad ual return of money to its pre-war value rather than production was given as the primary cause of present depressed conditions by Pro- lessor c. F. Warren of Cornell Uni versity in a speech before the Farm Bureau Federation today.
 The physical quantity of all kinds of products in the United States in- creased 61 per cent in the IS years before the World War" Professor Warren said. and approximately this rate of increase has been going on for many years.
 The acres of cotton in the United States increased very rapidly since the war owing to the fact that cot ion has been relatively high in price, but the acreage of food and feed crops decreased one per cent from 1919 to 1929.
 Tn the last 10 years wheat has averaged 142 bushels per acre in the United States. In the previous 10 years, the average yield was 14.6 bushels per acre. Corn yields per acre have increased slightly and oat yields have declined slightly.
