Windy Wolf
says:

My neighbor says a year like
this when all the weather's gone
amiss, a silo's worth its weight
in gold, he says he's got one that
holds a lot of corn, and this here
crop that got along without a
drop of water till the ears are
small, why, he'll make silage of
it all. That stuff will make a lot
of feed if stored until the day of
need in that there silo, it will be
a salvation for the stock, by gee.
This season when the crib is bare,
he says a Teller should prepare to
fill his silo to the brim, he says
what silage does for him. in years
like this, is make the kline fill up
the pals, while as for mine, this
winter they will all go dry, them
cows won't give no milk supply if
they amt fed, an empty bin don't
bring no butter money in.
My neighbours got good idea,
my corn is stunted as can be, and
I've been thinking what I'd do to
bring my cows and cattle through
the winter, they have got to eat
or they can't make no milk or
meat. A Teller surely can't go
wrong to have green feed al win
ter long, my cows would sure ap-
preciate a-havin' feed that's ade-
quate to satisfy their appetite,
my neighbours scheme sure sounds
all right. I'll build silo right
away, and though Pm short ON
grain and hay, with lots of silage
I'll get by and not have all my
cows go dry!
A few days ago a Kennewick
man who is just middle-aged re-
marked, 81 am glad / am not rich.
1t would be the greatest calamity
/ can think of if somehow I sud-
denly came into possession of a
million dollars" This man has
been a hard worker all of his
life. He is hard worker now, and
his prayer is that he may be able
to work and to have always enuf
for the comforts of his life. Oh,
yes, he has children. That's the
reason he doesn't want to be rich.
His philosophy is that to leave
his children rich would be to
handicap their lives.
Sary Jane says to me, says she,
"There amt no place I'd rather
be than here upon the farm in
fall, Teller surely has his gall
to brag about this city life. I'd
rather be a farmers wife. Of
course there's things that you
could do to keep your wife from
gittin' blue and keep me happy, /
should think you might get me a
kitchen sink and put a gas plant
in so I won't have to burn my
cake and pie, or have it raw be-
cause the fire won't draw be-
cause the wind amt higher. A
gas stove would be mighty fine,
and we might tap the 1ectric line,
or have a light plant, it is mean
to have the smell of kerosene
about the place, a coal oil light is
sure the prize"

plants. So he stepped down the
street and began to ballyhoo
about the museum of his up
stairs, charging 25c admission for
the sights. A few paid the fee
and viewed only a disheveled bed
room. They summoned a police
man. He took the man to his room
where the selfmade menagerie
man with selfmade magma
ton gave the policeman a swig
of the contrabrand. The police
man shortly afterward, gave the
man $3.50 for half interest in the
show.
Yachtmen, we understand, have
signal flag which means "Own-
er is dining" and when it is fly
ing no one thinks of rowing over
for call. Landlubbers might pro-
fitably adopt signal flags of the
same sort. Offhand the signal
lag most needed for ordinary
home use is one which would
mean "Only person at home is
taking a bath; don't disturb"
Did you ever notice, asks Ralph
Matthews, that when crowd is

comes that the blaze is out, all

PROMINENT MEN IN GAME OF POLITICS GIVEN RUTHLESS
 AND CAUSTIC DESCRIPTIONS

Washington, July IS - (UP) - Ruthless and caustic characterize tions of leading figures on the polit- ical scene ~oday are presented in an anonymous book. "The Mirror of 1882" just published by Brewer Warren and Putnam.
 President Hoover is described as "Our first hair-shirt hero." The au- thor says, No chief executive in modern times was so vacillating."
 Former President Coolidge IS termed "crochety, querulous. selflsh and wearisomely loquacious."
 Al Smith has gone hight-hat: highbrow. and high-life," but Is stiii ambitious for the presidency, the anonymous author says.
 Of Franklin D. Roosevelt, he says Those who have his ear last usually prevail.'
 Senator Morrow is found to be "A bigger and better man than recent republican presidents" but 'too backward and bashful to make q deep immediate imprint upon ca pricious public"
 The book describes Dir Hoover as "the first presidential nullifier' Tn regard to prohibition" Every day in every way he seeks to ease the discomfort of the vets without losing the affection of the drys," the author says. Slowly but surely the Hoover

BANK ROBBER IS
 CAPTURED
Nicholas Fesire, Alias Tony Cibiello, Captured By Detective John Leary in New YOrk-One of San= ditz X Traurig Suspects

Nicholas Fesire, 23, alias Tony Cibiello of 22 Union street, this city, was captured in the Grand Central station of New York city yesterday by Detective John Leary of the To- cal detective bureau. The accused youth is being detained in New York awaiting extradition to this state on the charge of robbery with violence. His arrest completes the roundup of four suspects in connection with the recent robbery of the Sanditz & Traurig bank on North Main street from which institution over $500 in cash was taken in a sensational hold-up last April. In addition to starting extradition proceedings for the return of Fesire it is expected that the state authorities will also appeal to the federal government for the surrender of Charles Mikait- is, Waterbury youth, who is now serving a term of one year in the penitentiary for passing counterfeit $20 bills.
 William Nowosett of Hartford is now in the New Haven county jail awaiting trial in connection with the same bank robbery. He has been unable to obtain bonds of $10.000.

John w. Jaeger May Be Chairman
 Of Republicans
At Least His Many Friends Have Started a Boom for Him - Conway Forces, However, Do Not Fear Any Drive of the Jaeger Contingent
OUIETUDE IN THE
 DEMOCRAT CAMPS

Although so far in connection with the chairmanship of the local republican party the name of only Attorney Theobald E. Conway has been mentioned, 1t was learned this afternoon that packers of ex-Alder- man John W. Jaeger, candidate. for the office of controller on the repub- lican ticket in the 1927 city election, will be proposed for the office by certain members of the town com mittee. Chairman Walter Deacon, present chairman, who has rendered his resignation, has called meeting for tonight to have himself re- lieved of the duties of chairman and to have someone elected to take over his duties.
 The fact that ex-Alderman Jaeger will be entered in the race for the chairmanship tonight lends a new light to the whole discussion in the E. o. D. ranks. Heretofore it has been felt that Attorney Conway would be handed the chairmanship without opposition and that the nomination of George Tracy for mayor would follow as matter of course.
 However, the packers of MT Jae- g.r on the town committee will in- troduce his name and will strive at to-might's session to have the chair manship given to him. This attempt recalls the primary battle of last year at which MT Jaeger attempted to wrest the chairmanship from the

John Tabeek, beset by troubles in a financially troubled world, his wife ill, himself blinded, and unable to find work, asked himself that ques- tion put by the patient Job of Old Testament days, went to a fashion able town church and as the Rev Dr Robert E. Speer concluded his sermon on the results of world depression, lifted vial of poison to his lips.
 His legacy, was thoughtfully scribbled note clasped as he col lapsed in the pew of the Fifth ave- nue Presbyterian church was in the hands of the family to-day with his last message:
 ITO whom it may concern: I am on my way to meet my Creator God"
 Dr Speer, who is general secretary of the board of foreign missions, of the Presbyterian church, had just addressed an audience in which the poverty stricken Assyrian- born American offered an obvious con- trast.
 With the world depression, Dr Speer had commented, the world has become more anarchistic with it's ever growing tariff boundaries, armaments and national suspicious. The moment President Hoover speaks with a world note, that mo- ment each nation feels a response. Yet that response is self centered."
 There was stir in rear pew of the church. Miss Mae Reeves looked toward the middle aged man at her side. He was fumbling at his pocket
 Dr Speer continued:
 You cannot solve human prob- lems by formulas"
 The shabby figure at the side of Miss Reeves collapsed.
 Miss Reeves and a few nearby worshippers attempted to revive him. Others believed he had tainted. He made no outcry.
 An ambulance was called. as the service continued, most of the at tendants and Dr Speer unaware any thing was amiss in that rear pew, the man died a few minutes after

ROOSEVELT WILL NEED
 AL. SMITH
With the Support of Former Governor and Last Democratic Nominee Gov Roosevelt Could Win the Nomination for 1882
BY RAYMOND CHAPTER

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Washington, July 1S.-(UP).- in the democratic presidential situation to-day are as- cribed partly to the silence of for mer Governor Alfred E. Smith.
 Belief among friends of Franklin D. Roosevelt is that his nomination would be absolutely certain if Smith should indicate his endorsement. Roosevelt's highest hurdles are in quarters where Smith is powerful. Illinois, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and even port of New York's strength are available in large meas ure for Smith should he choose to run. A lesser portion of it would be thrown to any candidate indicated by Smith.
 Though Roosevelt placed Smith in nomination in 1920, 1924 and 1928, and was persuaded by Smith to run for governor to help the ticket in 1928. the impression in most po- litical circles is that a coolness has grown up between them.
 Whether it will reach the point of turning Smith against his old polit- ical associate is the big uncertainty.
 Another situation concerns Roose-

ITALY IS READY

Will Cut and Reduce in All Departments, Providing France Does the Same Thing

Rome, July 1s-(U. P.)-Import- ant assurances that Italy is ready to "go the limit" in arms limitation were believed to-day to have been given Secretary of State Henry D.. Stimson during informal conversa- tions with government leaders over the weekend.
 Mussolini and Dino Grandi, for eign minister, were understood to have informed Stimson that the gov ernment was ready to reduce arm aments drastically at the forthcom- ing world arms conference at Gen. eva next February-provided France does the same.
 Stimson, as a result, gained au- thority to discuss the Italian posi- tion with France, especially regard ing the French desire that the Gen. eva conference be postponed from February.

TWO MEN FORCED DOWN RETRACINC
 THE OLD ROUTE
Robbins and Jones Took Off From Fairbanks and Will Fly Back to Seattle

Fairbanks. Alaska, July 13.-(UP) Reginald Robbins and Harold s. Jones were flying to-day toward Seattle, Wash, retracing the route they travelled northward when they failed last week in an attempted nonstop flight from the United States to Tokio, Japan.
 Determined to make another at tempt to be first to fly from Seattle to Tokio in an airplane, Robbins and Jones left their refueling plane here when they took off last night on the return trip.
 The refueler, piloted by Jim Mat tern and Nick Greener, will remain here. until Robbins and Jones make their second attempt.
 On the first trial last week, Jones and Robbins kept up to schedule on the first 1900 miles from seattle here, then ran into fog and rain and were unable to make a contact with the refueler.
