 2. Establishment of additional American branch factories in Can ada. which Premier Bennett openly courted as means of aiding employ ment there.
 3. Renewed agitation for some reciprocal tariff agreement with Canada whereby rates would be re- duced. overtures for which have been made by Canada from time to time since she rejected President Taft's move for reciprocity 20 years ago.
 Officials continued their silence today regarding the new dominion tariff, but no one denied that 1t will have a sizeable effect on United States trade with Canada, which last year totaled more than a billion dollars, Just what this effect would be in dollars and cents no one would predict. but it is expected the com merce department will make prl- ivate estimate for President Hoover, on the basis of detailed analysis received from trade representatives at Ottawa.
 The keen interest of the United States government in the new Can adinn tariff was demonstrated by an official statement issued by the commerce department explaining the tariff and giving the old rates and the new on American products.
 One of the most interesting as- poets of the new tariff is the inn petus it is believed it will give to the establishment of branch fac tories in the dominion to circum- vent the new rates, almost prohibi-

 morning with the breeziest humor, but she was visibly annoyed With those in charge of the trip both be- cause of the loss of money and the blow to her personal prestige.
 "Are you sore, Texas?" someone shouted as the ship moved off.
 I'm not such a cheap sport, " called Miss Guinan. At the same time I would hardly accept job as press agent for France"
 The most disappointed spectator of the Guinan sailing was an Eng lishman, Harry Aslett. He had missed a chance to be Texas hus- band.
 She told me to come and sent five pounds ($24.30) but she let me down badly" mourned Aslett. .I would have made such good husband! l expected the captain of the Paris to marry us, but Miss Guinan didn't feel like marrying.
 I've been thruogh lots of trouble before. l was the youngest member of the British army during the war. Now I have just enough money to get home."
 The idea behind the matrimonial scheme had been that, as the wife of a Briton, Miss Guinan could have entered England. A divorce was to have been obtained subsequently.
 As the ship drew away from the pier Miss Guinan presented a start ling sartorial spectacle, dress sd in a yellow blouse with black vel vet pajamas and carrying a silver stick The general effect was that of the ringmaster of circus.
 'T am the original woman without a country" she said before depar- ture. T received a cable offer to act in the films at Hollywood, though.
 Pm not sore at the country of Lafayette and Joan of Arc, but French officials are stupid. They feel that the honor France demands that they be afraid of a woman whose only weapon is her tongue. I wish they would show as much in terest in their war debts as in me-"

 < Other Sentences
 Pleading guilty to 8 charge of aggravated assault, George Gallo, 49, local barber, was sentenced to six months in the county jail by Judge Frank F. McEvoy in: superior court his morning. Gallo was accused of shooting one Mrs Marie Mastrianni at Woodlawn Terrace on May 9th.
 Attorney Joseph J. Davis, plead ing for leniency for his client al- legged that Gallo inflicted the bullet wound in the victims neck after 8 scuffle with Mrs Mastrianni, whom he charged. had attempted to get money from Gallo.
 States Attorney Lawrence l.. Lewis reviewed the case, stating that Gallo had met Mrs Mastrianni in Exchange place and that she board- ed a Cooke street bus to get away from him. He said Gallo followed her and when she stepped from the bus, he was waiting for her at Woodlawn Terrace. He stated that Gallo after a few words, pulled a gun and shot Mrs Mastrianni, in- " . he said he threw the gun into the Naugatuck river from the Freight street bridge.
 Attorney Davis said the accused had been a barber in this city for the last 25 years, and had been single since the death of his wife several years ago. He described his client as. a victim of the wiles of Mrs Mastrianni whom, he charged. had used Gallo as a sucker" He denied that Gallo followed her on the night in question but stated they met and walked to the scene c@ 70 ch"ot'og. He said his client was afraid the woman's husband ;,..u ;,~t Mcle gong 10 play the badger" game on him and he told her that night he was through. He said Gallo told him, Mrs Mastrian- no threw her arms around him and placed her hand in his pocket with the intention of getting money he had there.
 The gun was in the same pocket, Attorney Davis said, and during the scuffle the gun went off. He said Mrs Mastr:anni walked off leisure ly" and entered a drug store where she was told her neck was bleed ing.
 Attorney Lewis stated the accused was fortunate he was not charged with a more serious crime, that of attempted murder. The accused, af- ter sentence was passed, had tears in his eyes. a.

tory in some cases, on various American products.
 United States industries now have more branches and subsidiaries in Canada than in any other part of the world. There were 78 branches. 3S9 subsidiaries, and 21 assembling plants owned by Americans in Can ada the first of this year, and S6 foreign companies in which Amer jeans held minority interest, all together 542, with a total invest ment of $540.593,000 of American capital, according to commerce de- partment records. Bennett said in his tariff speech that 87 American branches had been established in Canada since the September in- creases in Canadian duties.
 The largest investment is in agri- cultural and industrial machinery manufacture, totalling $60,320,000. Automobile branch plants run sec ond, with an investment of $56,O97.- 900. Plants for manufacture of electrical and telephone equipment and supplies are third with $55.- 89O,O0O. Other industries with branch plants include iron and steel. hardware, silverware, leather, lum- Der, rubber products. textiles. stone, clay and glass and chemicals.
 Since most of these are affected by the tariff increases a further movement to Canada should result.
 An invitation for reciprocal tariff favors was seen in the provision authorizing the governor general to reduce duties automatically in com pensation for reductions in duties on Canadian products. Canada has made several futile gestures along this line in recent years.

THE FEED LOAN
By HANS RASMUSSEN

Among the farmers the government
feed loan is at present the most burning
question. Application blanks are now
available and must be filled out and mail
ed during the month of October. The
biggest part of the feed in the county
this wear is Russian thistles In. limited
amount, and it is hoping against odds
that any kind of stock will be able to
live through the winter on that alone.
In another part of this paper you will
find where the County Agent is giving
out information and instructions regard
ing the feed loan. One of his instruc-
tons is: Farmers who expect to make
applications should bring with them their
tax list" The government Instructions,
sent out by Secretary Hyde do not say
word about tax lists, and In no other
place but Sheridan county, that we know
of, is this requirement made. 1t is some
thing added by our county agent, making
it more cumbersome and complicated
for our farmer sto get the loan.
That this feed loan goes through In
order to pull the live stock through the
winter is the most important task before
us right at the present time. If our
county agent is able to realize anything
at all he certainly should be able to real
ze that much. Instead of helping the
farmers it seems like he finds it his duty
to put stumbling blocks in their road.
AS long as it is our custom to have
people living on the county for orna-
mental purposes, and living fairly high
at that, we should not kick if they do nc
useful work at all, but when these orna
ments start to actually work against thu
people who are supporting them, then
is about time they are Kicked out.
