WHAT THE DRYS WANT

No strong objections having been made by dry organizations to the modification plank in the Republi- can state platform, one is led 10 conclude that there must be req son for it.
 This reason can be found by weighing the attitude of the drys Tn New York state, assuming that their attitude is likely to be much alike.
 William H. Hill of Binghamton, dry leader in the New York grand oldparty let the cat out of the bag with the following statement:
 ". The drys are very acceptable to a moderately moist platform just as long as there is no mention of repeal"
 From now on it will be possible to spot the prohibition platform which are moderately moist" but make no mention of repeal"

"IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE"

For years British inn keepers have been sorely displeased over the fact that nine American tourists out of ten going to Europe went to Paris and points on the continent, over looking the British Isles altogether
 Perhaps they are afraid of the fogs.
 During the early part of the pres- ent year the British bethought themselves of a plan to change the intineraries of American tourists to include England. Copious advertis- ing extolling the pleasures of visiting England began to appear in Amert- can publications.
 Result: 5S,6S3 American tourists landed at British ports the first half of 1880, an increase of 4 per cent over the previous yearAnd it must De ItlHSlllDtlcu lilaI lllC Pi No' ''e year was not so hot in the tourist trade, and that 1929 was a boom year.
 Without the advertising there would have been big loss, the Britishers admit.
 Incidentally, French tradesmen dealing with tourists are joining in a chorus of 1amentation. They have had a bad half year, with fewer American tourists and those who came spent less. They realize, too, that when tourists discover, as they have been doing, that there arc other pleasant places in Europe be- sides Paris the French tourist trade is likely to drop.
 Another result is that the Brit ish intend to multiply their adver- Using.

nounce attractive financial reports. So long as the agricultural situa- tion is at such a low ebb profess sional bears are aided in their aims.
 The effect of low wheat prices is to enforce a low buying power among the agricultural classes. politically the result is a vast dis content and millions of farmers, will most likely listen with ready ears to the verbal bandishments of demagogs.
 Chairman Legge of the Farm Board is insistent that farmers feed wheat to stock as means of reducing the surplus. This sugges- ton, 1t is said, is meeting with some support by the farmers them selves, His other suggestion that farmers in future plant less acre. age to wheat as a means of avoid ing surplus meets with less ap- proval among a rather individual istic class of the nation, most farm- CTS going no further than being willing to permit the other fellow to plant less acreage while they continue as before.
 But what they do next year or this fall in the case of winter wheat has little bearing on what drags down the prices today, and incl dentally is the millstone on other endeavors. The problem of the farmers has become of vital impor- tance to industrial sections of the country, too, which are discovering that a. large consumptive area for manufactured products has been curtailed through reduction of buying power. It can no longer be said, in a manufacturing area, that the hard luck of agriculture is of no interest to industry Our experi- ence lately has tended to be hard teacher and tells us that industrial prosperity is difficult if not im- possible when a large element in the population are having difficulty in obtaining enough money to pay the cost of producing grain, much less provde a reasonable profit on ther efforts.
 One point stands out prominently, and that is the relation of govern mental relief in theory and prac- tice. The administration dallied all most delightfully."- with farm re- lief" for more than a year and finally matched law, coupled Vfh a new tariff law, that was all but guaranteed to be the proper med- icine Instead of providing the con- tenlpated relief, farm conditions went worse since the law was pass ed, and one of the mean duties of the Administration is to explain to farmers, if possible, just why the great relief plans failed to relieve.
 They say farmers are hard 10 convince.

NOT X PLEASANT SUBJECT

We have often wondered as to what becomes of cemeteries.
 The human race has been bury ing it's dead ever since it started racing toward eternity, yet the ma- jority of cemeteries one knows about date back only for a few hun dred years; most of the popular burying grounds in this country are much younger.
 A cemetery, we have often ru- minated, is like everything else. When it is filled to capacity no more dead are placed therein, giv- ing newer cemeteries chance to become popular. Meanwhile the older cemeteries remain through generations of men until
 Well, what really is the final end of d cemetery and it's forgotton

dead after, say, one or two hundred years?
 An incident in New York might be a clue. The other day a steam shovel was at work excavating a plot of ground alongside public bath in what is known as Green wich Village. Expectations work men were mortified to discover that the steam shovel was raking up a cemetery that had long been for gotton.
 Then it was learned, after off cials duly thumbed over old rec ords that once there had been a widely known cemetery at the spot, hallowed ground for no less a venerable institution than old Trin- ity Parish.
 It must have been that many of the first settlers of Manhattan were buried there. Elaborate grave stones had been erected to memor- ialize their upright lives. For gen. erations the graves had been re- membered by their descendants. But these seemed to have gradually left the scene; and after all, a great great-great- great grandson is not usually occupied much in remem- bering the grave of his great-great- great great grandfather.
 Thus the once widely known cemetery in Greenwich Village turned into plot of ground" while the populace paid no heed to the gradual change. Not a per son in the vicinity of the raked up cemetery, it was said, remembered ever being told that the land along side the swimming pool had ever really been a cemetery.
 But the steam shovel told it's story. Along with the bones of old settlers of Manhattan 1t raked up tombstones, so old that the epitaphs had been oblterated.
 With a kind hand the city took charge of the bones, reburying them in potter's field.

It is becoming increasingly evi- dent that the low price of wheat is the millStone of returning pros perity. At a time when numerous other signs pointed to a recovery from the slump the sagging price of the nations leading cereal crop, together with the low prices Of other important agricultural pro- ducts, has thrown a fit of nervous ness into the ranks of financieis, particularly stock spectators.

 Suicide, Coroner Says

Philadelphia, Sept. 26 lP-Discov- cry in a patch of woods near Mall vern, Pa, of the body of Miss Grace DeLancey V. Newlin has ended the search for the young society woman who disappeared from her home in Bryn Mawr Tuesday.

 Members of Miss Newlin's family said she had been under great ner- vous strain because of the illness of her mother, Mrs. Delaney V. New lin. and her childhood nurse, Anna Dowd.

Down in Bridgeport the papers are caustic over the announcement that the state will build a new bridge over the Connecticut at Hartford at state expense, this after Bridgeporters helped pay for two drawbridges for the benefit of Post Road traffic. Along comes further announcement that the state may construct two or three bridges at Hartford. Possibly Bridgeport is fully justified in complaining at such gross favoritism.

Adolf Hitler is perfectly frank. He and his German F'ascists will tear up the peace treaty and the other treaties if and when they win an election. First, however, an cleo tion must be won, and there must be a majority over all the other parties or a working agreement with others, So far only the Con- munists have shown signs of wish ing to work hand in glove with the German lTascists.

GRAIN CHEAPER THAN DIRT

Cheap as dirt" is a colloquial- ism.
 The financial editor of the New York Herald Tribune, overhearing telephone conversation in finan- cial house regarding the cheapness of rye as compared with the higher price for a bag of dirt in New York, and that gave him the hunch to make inquires.
 Rye is selling at 46 cents a bushel Forty-six cents for fifty six pound bushel! That's dirt cheap you'd have to pay more for a bushel of first class dirt for your flower garden than that" the broker was quoted.
 And so financial scribe started on his own tour of investigation.
 "Intriqued, we resolved to ascer tain the truth for ourselves. Good top soil, our inquiry revealed, is worth in New York City about $S a barrel, and a barrel contains about 200 pounds. Our broker friend was right. AS a matter of fact, he was not only right, but conservatiyely so. At a cent and a half a pound, high grade dirt is valued today, not only above rye, but above corn and wheat as we'll"
 But the dirt they know in a New York political campaign is worth less than the high-grade top-sojl variety which is quoted at higher prices than grain.

A naturalist divided an aquarium with a clear glass partition. He put a lusty bass in one section and minnows in the other. The bass would strike every time a minnoW approached the glass partition. After three days of fruitless lunging, which netted him only bruises, he ceased his efforts and subsisted on the food that was dropped in. Then the naturalist removed the glass partition. The minnows swan all around the bass, bu. he did not strike at a single one. He was thoroughly sold on the idea that business was bad.

GETTING ENOUGH TO EAT

Some writer once said that be- hind all systems of politics, state craft, diplomacy and human activ- ities generally there was paramount the effort to individuals, races and nations to obtain shelter and food; and no matter how modern and civilized we become, that remains the chief topic of discussion and the handspring of action.
 In other words, political econ- omy remains the worlds most im- portant study, submerged though it may be in the consideration of other subjects
 We are reminded of some of this by a trenchant paragraph in a New York World editorial
 The fundamental fact in the present situation is that there
  world, There is not more wheat than mankind could eat. There is more wheat than mankind has the money to buy at prices which will yield a profit to the farmers. In short, the wealth of the world is so badly distributed that multitudes lack the purchasing power to buy food that exists and that they would gladly eat. AS consequence, we face a situation which, next to war, is the supreme evidence of the disorder and backWardness of civil ization; on the one hand the pover- ty of those who are too poor to buy, on the other the poverty of those who have too much to sell
