CASH RELIEF
DISCUSSED AT
DACMAR UFL
By Niels C. Sundsted

On August II the Dagmar Lo-
cal of the United Farmers League
had it's regular monthly meeting
and II was excellent. The students
to the School on Wheels and the
delegates to the National U.F.L.
convention gave very good reports
and were asked numerous questions
which they answered well.
Then the question of cash relief
was taken up. A somewhat leng ny
discussion in which all members
took part followed and the result
was that it was decided to send a
committee AROUND to the towns
along the Great Northern and ask
all the business and professional
men to sign a petition asking for
cash relief. Chris Jonasen and
Jorgen Jensen were chosen to do
this work.
At this. writing they ahve re-
ported that they we're quite sue
cessful. The businessmen and pro-
fessionals at Homestead signed the
petition 100 per cent. Medicine
Lake 80 per cent and so on. Re-
serve was the town where the bust
nessmen were most reactionaEy.
There banker Lund, hardwareman
Hole, grocers TjOmsos and Eds
ness and lumberman Evenson re-
fused to sign. All the rest of the
businessmen and professionals as
Reserve signed the pc ition.
The meeting then discussed the
September first convention OF the
Holiday leaders to be held in
Plentywood for the purpose OF
forming a new political party to
split he vote of the farmers. After
some discussion it was unanimous

Seventy-nine hundred head of

close of business Saturday, August

mat, s that GO per cent Of the ca =
tie that viii be handled through
the AAA have been appraised.
All farm appraisals have been
discontinued. Applicants whose
cattle have not been appraised will
have their cattle ordered in for
yard appraisal, whenever ship
ments are made In their districts.
Due to several new counties be-
ing included in the purchase pro-
gram and tbs lack of veterinarians
it is necessary for Dr. j. w. Rich
ardson to inspect at all loading
points in both Sheridan ard Dan
iels counties, with the result that,
! beginning this week, only two ship
ments per week can be made from
either county. This necessitates
concentrating on fewer shipping
points in order to permit larger
single shipments.
Below is a schedule of proposed
receiving dates for the Two coun-
ties. from August % to Sept. 2.

strenuous one for the receiving
crew, entailing long hours and big
jumps from the various points il
order to accommodate the creates
: number Of farmers in a shor
period. The closest cooperation be
tween farmers and the shipping
crew is necessary.
Due to the lack of cars on tn,
500 Line the proposed shipment
from McElroy on Thursday Of thi
week had to be cancelled. This i
regretted as a scarcity of stock
water makes it difficult for farm
ers to keep stock much longer.
Many are of the opinion that al

i the case as the data secured by tn
[ appraisers indicates that on the al

remaining, rs per cent are mil

The Modern Concept

One of the reasons why the New Deal often seems confusing is the fact that only now are we beginning to bring our idea of government into line with eco- homie changes which took place several decades ago. We started as an agrarian nation. in which the great mass ot citizens always could earn thei rliving on the land if the government only would leave them alone. Some years ago we changed to an industrial civilization, ln which the prime necessity of the citizen was job and not piece of land, but our concept of government remained un- changed
 Now we are trying to bring ourselves I'D to date. If the effort makes us glddy now and then, it is no wonder Edward < A. Filene, the Boston merchant, recently pointed out in an address before the American Academy of Political and Social Science that our delay in the accomplish ment of this job led inevitably to the crea- tion of that invisible government" against which reformers used to argue so hotly.
 < Someone, he remarks, had to control the tangle in human relations which re- suited when our agrarian order changed to an industrial order. We did not believe that was a job for the regular govern ment; so an invisible government took shape to do the job, and it did it badly, because no one understood precisely what had to be done The visible government, meanwhile, continued to try to keep it's hands off all the developments of rising industrialism. In doing so, as MT Fllene remarks, it found that by keeping it's hands off it forever was finding it's hands full.
 And he adds: Because it refused to deal with the causes of strikes, it was kept busy with their effects. Because 1t did not deal with the problem of unem- ployment, it had to deal with the plight of the unemployed. Because it had noth- ing to say about the distribution of wealth, it constantly was confronted with crises caused by inadequate distribution, which some stick-in-the-mud traditional ists still refer to as 'overproduction.
 What is happening now is simply that we have come to realize the necessity of new relationship between government and industry. This does not mean that the industrialist is going to get soaked, or that bureaucracy of busy-bodies is go- ing to run our factories and our sales rooms and our banks. It just means that we are getting squared away so that full reaping of the incalculably rich fruits of great industrial era at last will be possible.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
So She Found Her Dad Was A Rascal

If YOU have spare evening and cant think of any other way or filling in the time, you might turn to the novel "Too Beautifur, by Sylvia Thalberg. It's a sprightly little romance which ought to keep at least one evening from dragging
 It has to do with a rowing pan- handler and his daughter, who IS charming lass, though somewhat silly. The two drift about the coun- try, hitch hiking, begging, and liy- ing by their wits.
 Finally they bump into a Broad way hoofer on vacation in the Adj rondacks; and he, struck by the daughters beauty, tells her she ought to go on the stage. He even gives her the name of a Broadway theatrical agent; . so the father, scenting easy money in the offing, steers her to the big town, takes her to the agents, and sees her l lanted in a revue.
 Crashing the stage must be fairly simple. This gal does it in no time at all, and inside year or so she's a reigning Broadway favorite. And the graft is fine for the old man. He sponges on her shame lessly, spends her money for her and generally contr1ves to make a bowling nuisance of himself. The story comes to its climax. then, in the girls slow discovery of the fact that her adored father is a complete rogue. And while wouldn't advise you to sit up late with the book unless you have some hood excuse, still it's a fast moving and neatly written affair that might fill in a couple of hours for you accepta bly, enough. Published by Messner, 1t retails for $2.

Our Agricultural Future

Early settlers in this country were pleased with it's fertile lands. They vis- toned fields producing products that would be demanded all over the face ot the earth And as time passed the small nation did develop it's agricultural pur- suits and did send it's products to many lands. But growing side by side with agriculture was industry. In time it sur passed agriculture Today we may safely be called the most highly industrialized nation in the world. We do not neglect agriculture, but we push it bit to the background.
 Louis G. Toles of Southington, address, ing the Connecticut State Grange this week, made some interesting comments along this line He pointed out that despite all the emergency efforts that have been made to end the depression in the United States agriculture is still stagnant "No one has yet brought forth the elixir that will cure the ills of an impoverished agriculture" is the way he puts it. He continued by adding that Bank law revisions, credit readjust- ments, control legislation, and many other new devises have been and are being tried . The MIRA is in operation, the CWA and all the rest of the alphabet may be rearfangeu ana appleu you will - but I say this with not the least disrespect toward an honest effort for recovery that America may try, but never again will America hold her head high among the nations of the earth until the American farmers has restored to him his normal purchasing power. :"
 MT Tolles does not believe the solution is in cutting down production. We might argue this point with him, but will re- frain at this moment. He contends that people aren't consuming the products of the earth in sufficient quantities. That's hard to believe. Never in our history have we been able to obtain such supplies of fresh vegetables the year round. Never have our grains appeared in so many and diverse mill products. If 1t is under consumption, then it is so because of lack of purchasing power. Uncle Sam tried to cut down production by federal grants, but was trlcked by willy cotton planters. Why not let loose an army of salegmen ln foreign countries to get rid of surpluses in crops7 Why rot specialization in pro- duction of crops to which we now pay little attenticn1

Know Your Waterbury Its History, Facts and General Information
HISTORY

The Green was in its natural state until about 1925. The south western portion was rocky and even ledgy in nature, with hollow ed out portions where water ac- cumulated, enough for boys to sail boats in summer or where they could skate in winter. The largest of these hollows was opposite the old City Hall, or almost facing Leavenworth street. During that year some of the inhabitants de- cided to clear the Green of rocks; q rock plaster was engaged and on the morning of the Fourth of July the blasts were fired, and the rocks disappeared, thereby performing a two-fold purpose, clearing the Green of rocks and properly celebrating the Fourth.
 For many years a narrow cause way ran across the Green to the old academy with a bridge rum ming underneath. There were no sidewalks at that time on either side of the Green, that is to say West Main street, but there were pretty well defined roads on the north and south sides of the cen. ter square, and the main road went in front of the Congregations al meeting house and ran diag- onally toward the front gate of the Merriman place until it struck the east and west road" The Mer- riman place would be where the Immaculate Conception church is now located. There were occasional footpaths, uneven and not well de- fined.

Rome Letter
By THOMAS B. MORGAN

By THOMAS B. MOhGAN
 United Press Stan C0rresp0ndent)
 Rome, (UP)-Mussolini has ap- proved a partial restoration of the Colosseum to its original grandeur and the isolation of the monument of Castel Sant' Angelo, which orig inally was the mausoleum of the Emperor Hadrian.
 The proposal to restore the Col osseum has aroused some 'criti- cism among the conservative ar- chaeologists here. but an examina- ton of the plan shows that the work to be done is very limited and will not in the least alter the char acter of the famous Roman monu- ment. Tn any case, this would not be the first time the Colosseum had undergone partial restoration.
 Restore Steps
 What is proposed to be done is to restore the steps of the lower part of the amphitheater on the ground level or under 1t. A prac- tical purpose is behind the idea, for the huge gladiatprial arena often IS used uOWaudyb IOr uSetiuBss rc- views and political. gatherings and the presence of rows of ordered steps would facilitate the assembly of thousands.
 The steps of the old Roman are- na will be followed in their orig inal lines and Q large proportion of the stone used will be fragments Of the original steps, which have been collected.
 The Colosseum has suffered much from the hands of piilagers. During the Middle Ages 1t was used chiefly ag q kind of free guar " te supply stone for the Rome builders; Several famous Roman palaces were buiit with stons tak-n from the Colosseum.
 Largo Park Planned
 The other project of isolatins the castei Bants Angelo already is uns der way. it is proposed Co build around it q large park.
