Other RumOrs of Cards
Local Men Hooked


 New Britain golfers and sports men are probably victims of the swindle. though it is not positively know whether bets made here were on the card referred to above Shortly before the British open, however, there was circulated in this vicinity a card quoting odds on the different players entered in the tour ney and running all the way from a 100 to 1 shot to a 10 to l against one or another player winning against the field. The card gave the address of an English bank to which funds might be sent and gave im- plicit instructions for forwarding the amounts.
 New Britainites are reputed to have sent a sum of money to the bank backing Bobby Jones to win. He did, and local bettors were counting their gains on the sizeable odds. No money has been forthcom- ing and cables requesting informa- tion as to when the money would be forwarded remained unanswered.

 IN GOLF SPINDLE.
Jones Admirers Evidently Are
 "Hooked" on "PhOney" Betting EVENINGS" STILL UNPAID
SpOrtsmen Put Jp Cash On Favor ite, Win. and Find Cablegrams Asking Payment Unanswered - Two Schemes Under Scrutiny.

London, July IS LP) - English today were treating as first page sensation a story from Roanoke, Va, of an alleged swindle in Wales in connection with betting on Bobby Jones and other stars in the British open golf cham pionship. So far 1t appears as though nobody in Great Britain knows anything concerning the affair or if they do they are saying nothing about it.
 It is known that sleuths of the golhng world are busy on such slim clews as are available trying to run them down to their source but noth- ing tangible has as yet been re- ported.
 Other RumOrs of Cards
 Quite independently of this muddle, there have been other stor- ies of reported huge winnings of American bettors on Jones through 'Lloyds', but tangible evidence of this seems almost equally elusive. Any one Of Lloyds 4.0OO or so mem bers might have handled the re- ported deals without the knowledge of the Lloyds institution as a whole.
 Dispatches from Roanoke yester- day said that an enthusiastic golfer who sent some money to a pari- mutuel company at Cardiff, Wales. had received 8 cable saying that the company had departed, leaving no address. One Virginia town was said to have sent $1,8O0 abroad)

Premier Announces Move in House of Commons as Result
 Of RiOting Yesterday
SIR PERCY LORRAINE TO
 WARN NATIVE MINISTER
Great Britain to Do All Possible to Maintain Peace, But Insists Pre- mier Must Keep Strict Neutrality - Newspapers Suppressed For Taking Sides, Congratulating Riot CTS on Demonstration.

London, July Is LP)-Prime Min ister Macdonald announced in the house of commons today that two warships have been sent to Egypt
 The ships have been ordered to proceed to Alexandria which was the scene of serious rioting yesterday re- sulting in the deaths of 13 natives and one Italian.
 Minister Responsible
 The prime minister said that Sir Percy Lorraine, high commissioner for Egypt, had been instructed to inform the Egyptian prime minister he must be held responsible for the protection of foreign lives and prop erty in Egypt.
 The prime minister said
 AS early as June 4 when the present constitutional crisis in Egypt first showed signs of developing, His Majesty's government instructed the high commissioner that his attitude must be one of strict neutrality, though consistently with that posi- ton it was left to his discretion to remind both parties to the dispute that we, at this end, were doing all in our power to maintain the good atmosphere in which the treaty ne- gotiations had terminated.
 Sir Percy Lorraine made state ments in this sense both to King F'uad and to Nahas Pasha, (former prime minister), who expressed his qualification. Since the formation of the present government, Sir Percy Lorraine made it clear that His Ma jesty's government intended to ad- here to their attitude of neutrality and non-intervention in what ap- peared to them a purely internal is sue for the Egyptians themselves to decide.
 No Other Attitude
 No other attitude was consistent with the declared intention of His Majesty's government in 1922 and we shall continue to maintain it to the extent compatible with our in | ternational responsibility. Before news of the deplorabl -eNents in Alexandria had reached London, the high commissioner had been instructed to make it quite plain that His Majesty's government did not intend to be used as an in strument for an attack on the Egyp- tian constitution. In consequence they could be no party to an altera- ton of the electoral law even if pre- cluded by the declaration of 1922 from actual intervention in an in ternal issue of this nature"

DRIVE OUT GREED.
 MAYORS NEW AIM Quigley Tells KiWanis Club
 What New Britain Needs HELP AND UNDERSTANDING
Elimination of Politics From Police and Fire Dept, His Hope-Claims Hartford Water Right Grants Are Unconstitutional

The greatest need of the city of New Britain is an understanding of the government and the human ele- ment that enters into that need rather than some of the general problems, according to Mayor George A. Quigley, who spoke to the Kiwan- is club at noon today, Vice Presi- dent Dwight Skinner presided.
 People elect a mayor the chief executive began, and then wash their hands of the whole affair. That is just tbe beginning for the mayor and should not be the ending for the citizens. No mayor can function properly unless he has the cooperation and intelligent under standing and in some cases the synl- pathy of the citizens.
 Trying to Eliminate Greed
 'I am trying to eliminate the greedy and selfish political element in our city government and to that end I have created the civil service commission in tM police and fire de-
 
 partments, removing from even my self the power to remove Or appoint police or firemen.
 "The police department has al- ways been regarded as a political football If some ward healer who controlled few votes wanted to get a friend on the force he tried to do so regardless of the mans fitness for the job. Like Ceasar's wife, the de- partment that is responsible for the enforcement of the laws of the city must be above suspicion. The ward healer must not have the privilege of running to the police department for protection for his criminal ac- tivtiies.
 People will tell you that civil service is all bunk. It isn't all bunk.
 Unemployment Problem

We used to pay 50 cents an hour, now he pay 40 cents an hour to men who cannot earn 20 cents. But we've got to pay them 40 cents until we can find some way to eliminate the unem- ployment problem.
 There are 2,00O men In New Brit ain out of employment many of them for from four to eight months. Sixty per cent of them are married men with families. We are told some of them are unreasonable in their demands for work. When a man is hungry and his wife. and children want food he has a right to be un- reasonable.
 We have been criticised for pay ing this amount 10 men who cannot earn it. If we didn't pay them, then the charity department would have to take care of them.

Audit Was Ordered

An audit of the institution was ordered last week by State Bank Commissioner Roy F.. Hovey, the commissioner announced in Boston. He expressed the opinion the bank vas fundamentally sound, but ad- mitted there were differences in the accounts and that he had advised one office in the bank should be placed in the hands of someone other than the person who occupied the position.
 Although most of the withdrawals from the bank today were in small amounts. one of $11,000 was report ed and it was estimated that dur ing the forenoon more than 300 ac- counts had been closed. The crowd finally became so great that Chief of Police Thomas A. Dolan asked aid from state police.
 The shortage was placed at sl,0OO by bank officials, but it was said that it might prove larger It was of the banks accounts,
 The state bank commissioner said that the banks surplus funds and securities were sufficient to care for the shortage.

COSTS AND FARM INCOME

In his annual report l.. ]. Taber, master
of the National Grange, declares that the
task before the American farmer is not only
to produce efficiently but also to reduce at
every opportunity the costs of production.
In other words, the farmers profit de-
ponds upon his being able to produce his
crops at cost below the price at which he
must sell them, rather than upon the size OF
the crops themselves.
Obviously one of the chief aids to econonl-
ical production is the employment of modern
equipment suitable to the needs of the indi-
vidual farmer concerned. Such equipment,
judiciously selected, effectively used, and TAX
en- care of when not in use, is essential to sue
cess under present-day conditions.
Another important feature of profitable
farming is the raising of as much food and
feed as possible at home. AS has been so
often pointed out, the COW, SOW and hen, with
hay, pasturage and good garden, are among
the most valuable adjuncts of a sound farm
program.
The decisions made along these lines dur
ing the next few weeks will largely deter
mine the farmers profit or loss during 1880.

The Winter Siln

The care of live stock in winter
requires certain equipment TO
save labor and make the work
easier. We have both open and
hard winters, 1929 will probably go
down as a hard winter, but many
OF It's lessons, I fear, will be forgot
ten in July and August. Certainly
those who have been compelled to
dig corn shocks out Of the snow
and break roads from field to barn
will remember perhaps to their dy-
ing day that this work is anything
but easy.
Some stock keepers who do not
have silos offer as an excuse the
hard work of filling. If filling 81
los is harder than the work de-
scribed above, then I surrender.
The age of machinery is at hand
and much of the hard work about
the farm is being done now by ma
chimes. This is also true of silo fill

HISTORY IN 500 WORDS

Much comment has been caused by the
recent announcement that former President
Coolidge had been asked to write history
of the United States in 500 words, these
words to be carved in stone on the Mount
Rushmore Memorial in South Dakota.
1t was wondered how Mr.. Coolidge, even
with his unusual knack for terse expression,
could condense so much into few words
Now the task has been simplifed for him by
the commission in charge Of the memorial,
which has decided that the History" shall
be limited to consideration of only eight
events deemed the most important in the life
of the nation. They are these:
Declaration OF Independence, 1776; the
framing of the Constitution, 1887; the Lou"
isiana Purchase, 1903; the admission of Tex"
as as State; 1915; the Oregon boundary
settlement, 1916; the admission of California
as State, 1850; the end of the Civil War;
1865; the completion of the Panama Canal,
1914.
Whether these are the most important
incidents in our history or not, they furnish
ample material upon which Mr. Coolidge may
exercise his talent for condensation.

cutter, now perfected, will answer
their purpose and do the work eff
ficiently and economically.
Recent tests and experiments
have demonstrated beyond the
question of a doubt that silage
greatly lowers the cost of feeding
stock whether kept for beef or
dairy purposes. The stock grower
and feeder of beef cattle has been
rather slow to recognize the silo
but from experiments and tests it
seems that the silo is even more
profitable for the beef grower than
for the dairyman. No less an au-
thority than Professor F. B. Nor
rison has pointed this out and
proven this statement with many
figures.
The saving or earning by feed
ing silage over feeding forage in
the dry state is only part of the
benefit derived by the use Of the 81
10. There are a great many fact.
ors which enter into this subject
and strange as it may seem, nearly
all of them favor the silo method.
With the silo properly located close
to the pooint of feeding, and ar
ranged so that feed thrown down
the chute will drop in a truck or
carrier which can be easily and
quickly conveyed to the bunk or
manger, a great deal of labor will
he Savad Turing Seasops of haf,
weather, especially during severe
storms, such an arrangement is
greatly appreciated. AS for the
dairy herd it often means a saving
of considerable amount.
Having the feed at hand, espec-
tally during storms and severe
weather, is valuable and import
ant item and this alone, is suffi-
cient reason for the silo.

When Mrs. Writ married, 20 years
ago, there were many who thought
it too bad that young Charlie Writ,

most of her efforts were failures.
Since then, however, she and her
husband have nearly paid off the

their home, improved the farm, and
reared family of four children.

"a union of individuals sharing a
common life" and she believes that
the success of a home can be meas

Mrs. Plocker thinks that any rur-
al homemaker is a success "if she
rears family of good, honorable
citizens, who love the farm and
who think that there is no place

Minnesota produced 100000 pounds of tobacco
in 1929 valued at $27OOOO That will be news to
thousands of the states farmers. The Central
Stearns County Tobacco Growers association hand
led nearly third of the crop.
It in Stearns county that the first expert
ments with growing tobacco on commercial basis
proved successful The industry has spread to Ben
ton and other central Minnesota counties and prom,
ises to command steadily increasing interest.
Records show the crop returns average of
$500 and in some instances more. 1t requires
great deal of cultivation and in handling but
tobacco is important item of overhead cost.
Members of the Stearns county association have
been growing tobacco for 20 years. Their experience
shows that tobacco culture is successful phase of
diversified farming, but that it is attended by
hazards than wheat growing To be marketed to
advantage the leaf must be perfect. Hailstones
fatal to tobacco acreage is the least carelessness
in handling, curing or drying. But acre of to-
bacco which turns out well rewards the be-
slowed upon it by money return eight times
more great of wheat.
Incidentally it is interesting to recall that most
Minnesota pioneers grew their own tobacco cured it
themselves, smoked it in the form of the natural
leaf and demonstrated quite effectively that fine
quality of tobacco may be grown here.
Twenty years of experience by Minnesota to-
bacco growers has resulted in interest in the
crop. It's production increased from 900 pounds
in 1928 to 100000 pounds in 1929 and it's
$4,000 in 1928 to $270O00 in 1929 Tobacco consump
ton appears to be increasing. Minnesota produces
good quality at less cost than many fields in the
South. The facts to show that tobacco has es-
tablished definite and important place in the diver
sifed farming practced in this state.

Automobile accidents resulted in more

MEDDLERS DROP CASE

After five years of expensive meddling
in an effort to find something wrong with the
methods of newspapers and advertising
agencies, the Federal Trade Commission re-
Gently gave up the task and dismissed it's
complaint against the publishers and agen-
cieS.
The utterly useless and futile proceeding
cost the newspaper and advertising industry
more than 100000 and no one knows how
much it cost the government. The Commits
sion dismissed the case because after five
years it decided that it had no jurisdiction
in the matter to begin with.
In the opinion of the New York Sun the
case was dismissed on account of recent
decision of the Supreme Court of the United
States that the Federal Trade Commission
has no right to file complaint against any
one unless there is special and substantial
public interest involved in the matter at is
sue. The Sun further says:
IF the court has checked the Trade
Commissions costly interference with bust
ness lot of good has been done. The COM
mission has given some wonderful examples
of the way to keep bureaucracy alive Now
it investigates the du Pont companys invest
poenas 700 witnesses to give their definition
OF CASTLE soap. In the present instance we
see thousands of dollars wasted, all for the
preservation of bureaucracy"
1t would be interesting to know whether
in it's IA years of operation the Federal
Trade Commission has ever performed a
piece of work which did not cost more than
it was worth to the public.
