TWO STATES REDIsTRICT
(Hartford Times


 All the political factors which tend to complicate legislative action in redistricting congressional areas can finally be reduced to this one that the party in power cannot agree within itself as to how the new lines shall be drawn. In some states, including Connecticut. this has caused a stalemate on the sub- ject. Michigan and New York sue ceeded on the closing day of their legislative sessions in enacting stat utes which aim to give effect to the reapportionment law of congress.
 Tn the case of Michigan a fair job was made of the recasting of con- gressional districts. Four new ones were formed. making seventeen in all. Three of the four new districts were laid in Wayne county in whicf Detroit and it's suburbs are situated That is a fair concession to that populous area. but still falls short by one district of being an equal distribution of population among the districts of the state. Some ot the Wayne county districts number | $50, ,O00 persons, while some of the upstate districts number 1S6.O0O. The national average on which the federal reapportinment law IS passed Is 2S5,00O population per district. In New York state where provi- sion was made for two new districts both were ailocated to upstate ter. ritory and W ere designed with . view to republican advantage There may be a judicial test of the legality of the procedure under which this was brought about.
 It is n strange anomaly of demo. cratic government that when good fortune. as indicated by increasing population. entities a state to larger representation In congress, there should Do Ho much display of seliisi politics Hs Co rob tho state of tho fui ana just enjoyment of the rights dus it by virtue of its numbers. connee' lieut.

GERMAN AIR RAID.

GERMAN AlIt It-ilD.
 On June 5, 1917, the third of series of air raids took place when 16 German airplanes came over tn" North Sea and dropped many bombs on the small towns and villages In Essex and Kent.
 Only IA of the raiders returned to their home base, for two were brought down by British guns. Th> British casualties were low, only two being killed and 29 injured.
 The raiders met with a lively re- ception, extra precautions having been taken by British authorities after the previous raid. The Ger mans were attacked by British aviators before they had an op portunity to carry out their raidirS intentions to any great extent. and the British anti-aircraft guns were very effective.
 The official statement said that the raiders also attacked the naval establishments in the Medway. considerable number of bombs wer, dropped and a certain amount oi damage was done to house property but the damage done to naval and military establishments was practi- cally negligible.

He believes in doing the business at hand, which is governing New York state. In that respect he differs from many public figures who drop everything for a brief moment in the sun.

GRAIN FUTURES
MOVE UPWARD
ON BULL NEWS
Traders Believe Bottom Has
Been Reached in
Wheat Mart.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Aug. IA. Wheat
prices rose fractionally on the Board
Of Trade today on scattered buy
ing encouraged by the frmneSS at
Liverpool There was little pressure
at the start. Liverpool was strong
with a better demand inspired by
the continued wet weather in
Europe. Corn prices followed wheat
upward to a small gain. Oats act
ed somewhat independently and
eased a minor fraction.
At the opening wheat was Is to
Il cent higher, corn was changed
to 4 cent up and oats were *
cent lower. Provisions were slow
but firm.
Liverpool Opens Off
Liverpool opened lower in SYM
pathy with the decline in North
America Thursday, but quickly re-
covered and went upward to a Il
to e cent gain at mid-afternoon
Moderate rallies and moderate set
backs with the market holding to a
narrow range seems to be the pros
pect for wheat.
There is no opposition to any adj
vances of consequence and buying
when prices decline which creates an
air OF sterilization that is welcomed
by the trade, which sees in it the
end OF the long decline and expects
the market to do better gradually
Foreign News Buuish
Foreign news is in favor of an adj
vance mainly because Russia is ex-
pected to raise prices and European
harvestS are being delayed.
Weather over the corn belt still
is dry with the official report of the
various states indicating a need for
moisture. The new crop months
are holding rather steady but Sep
TENDER is weak due to the transfer
ring of the large cash holding into
September.
Oats have had a fair degree of
flrmnesS, influenced more or less by
the action in corn. The action in
wheat and corn has detracted from
the interest in oats.
