AAA WHEAT ACREAGE
REDUCTION CHANGED

Wheat contract signers will be
required to reduce their 1885
wheat acreage only 10 per cent
from the base acreage of their
contracts, instead of Is per cent,
as was announced tentatively in
July, according to- an announce
ment by George e. Farrell, chief
Of the AAA wheat section. This
change was made in view of the
continued drouth, which has low.
cred domestic wheat yields since
the previous announcement was
made. This information arrives
just in time to permit winter
wheat growers to change their
seeding plans.

CONTRACTED ACRES"
MUST BE MEASURED

Land contracted to the govern
ment under the corn-hog reduc-
ton contract must, under all cir
cumstances, be measured by the
local corn-hog supervisor, says
E. O., Lenzmeier, the county
agent.
This statement is to clarity an
made last week
that where the estimate yield
of corn planted for grain is less
than 40 per cent of the appraised
yield made for the contracted
acres no field measurment is
required" This announcement ap-
plies only to parts of the farm
other than thoes set aside as
contracted acres" according to
Mr.. Lenzmeier.

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT FAIR

The Long Prairie Leader, in
speaking about the Todd County
Fair, says: While officials had not
tabulated the figures last night,
Tuesdays crowds at the county fair
were estimated to have set a new
record. Never before in the his
tory of the fair, according to many
of those in charge of the EXPOSE
ton, have so many people been
present on the grounds at one time.
The Leader also stated that the
effects of the drouth were notice
able in the number and quality of
exhibits.

Far From, Drab

If the magazine Time had deliberately gone about to stir up tempest, in tea pot or something larger, it could not have done so more surely than when it permit ted reporter, writing about several of the women's colleges in the east, to say that students of Mount Holyoke college eked out drab lives under the large, drab shadow of Mary E. Woolley, it's famous president. Alumae of colleges which fared more happily at the hands of the feature writer exclaimed as one, "Will Holyoke be peeved? It will ! and will Time be in for it? We surely hope sor'
 Time was and is. Had it never heard of the fury of woman scorned? Time knows now, and admits freely that it knows that life at Mount Holyoke is color full, jolly, zestful, that its students are gaily and tastefully dressed, and that Amherst men marry it's alumnae. Other college men do, too, but Amherst goes far enough to have proverb about it.
 The temptation to use the smart phrase for the sheer sound of it's smartness is one always besetting the reporter. But when he lets himself use it at the expense of ac- curacy, something always drops on him and his paper. This should be lesson to all of them!

the veto power of his office be strength ened by demanding a two-thirds vote over the veto he received the same attention that he had on all similar plans for brac- ing up the government.
 That was in 1881 with the Legislature controlled in both branches by the republi- cans. In 1888 the Senate was democratic, the House republican. Governor Cross again proposed dropping the majority vote overruling veto. He was upheld. This fall in addition to electing state and na- tional officials, we vote on two amend ments to the constitution of the state of Connecticut. One of these would necessi- tate two-thirds vote in each house of the Legislature to overrule a gubernatorial veto. Let's hope the people will not for get to vote on this amendment.
 Nothing to our mind is better criti- cism of the republican record of the last decade or two than the above. Mir Alcorn knows as we'll as any democrat that the governors office was completely subjll- gated to legislative control during the reign of Rorabackism. When Charles A. Templeton of Waterbury attempted to re- bel in 1923 and 1924 he went right out of office never to return. It was bit hard CT to do this to Governor Cross, because he was democrat and the republican powers that be had no influence over him or his party.
 And the party that emasculated the governors office and would seek to do it further is right behind MT Alcorn. His personal intentions in the matter are of the best, we don't doubt that But we do doubt his ability to secure the results that he talks about. It can be best achieved by breakdown of the intolerable republi- can domination, which we have only be- gun with Governor Cross. Complete con- trol of the state government by the demo- crats is necessary. Your vote and my vote will accomplish that.

 He is James. Harvey Rogers of Yale, co-adviser with George F. Warren on the Roosevelt rubber dollar, although he vigorously claims he opposed it. Rogers is as shadowy a fig- ure as the imitation rumors in which he turks.
 Last spring he deserted his cubby-hole office in the Com } merce Department for trip to China. The purpose was to study silver, if possible head off the congressional silver bloc which demanded silver purchase.

Washington, Oct. 13-A pay roll tax to carry the burden of next years Federal outlays for the unemployed has been pro- tested by EZRA experts. They have been making study of possible revenue, sources to fi- nance the undiminishing cost of public relief.
 The suggestion, submitted to the president, has been sent by him to :. Secretary Morgenthau, along with other, tax proposals.
 The efficacy of a payroll tax as an income producer is predi- cated on the following calcula- tions: x
 The current annual payroll volume of the country is esti-
 mated at $5O,OOO, 100000.
 Assessing this at the rate of 5 per cent would produce ., return of $2,5OO, ,O0O, ,OOO.
 This income would amply cov- CT the expected relief load for next year.
 Sponsors of the plan concede that 1t has several serious poli- tical and economic drawbacks; that it would put premium on keeping down payrolls, thereby boost production costs.
 They argue, however, that it meets many of the objections to sales tax, which the preSi- dent opposes, and which Is being used already in many states to raise relief funds.
 PLAGIARISM
 Massachusetts, recent hot democratic senatorial primary has had a unique aftermath. 7.
 General Charles H. Cole, the unsuccessful candidate, is suing James M. Curley, former Boston mayor and the victor.
 Coles action is based on these allegations:
 That in the course of the con- test he wrote a speech and sent out advance copies to the press: that Curley obtained one of these copies, and the day be- fore Cole was to speak, deliv- cred the address as his own.
 So Cole is seeking damages on the ground of plagiarism. FREE SPEECH

Bridgeport has just failed in a plan to have the State Highway Department take over construction, inspection, main tenance, and reconstruction of the city's highways in finding given by Deputy Attorney General Ernest L. Averill. There is state law on the books that allows town to petition for certain engineering service that might not be available, but actual construction and it's cost must be done by the town. Had Bridgeport se- cured the all-inclusive powers it sought the way would have been opened for every community, large or. small, to get the same attention. It would have disrupted the normal operation of the Highway Depart ment and compelled the addition to the staff of twice as many employees as are now on it.

Senator Walicott is at bay for the U. s. senatorship. Having had a term as a member of that august body he wants to be sent back, and who wouldn't?
 The claim made this week, based on what the politicians call careful reckoning and on the basis of a gentieman's statistics which have not gone awry in half a dozen elec- tions and primaries, painted a dim picture for the senator. Connecti- cut is among the states where the democrats are made to register gains and elect candidates by the statisticians.

In the course of his remarks over the radio last Saturday night, the republican candidate for governor, Hugh M. Alcorn, informed his listeners that he, too, will shortly make known his intentions with regard to the milk and liquor issues. Again we point out that if milk and liquor were dropped from the present campaign the republicans would have nothing to talk about. It is of their own manufacture, as they brought up the initial remarks on the subjects.
 It was another statement by MT Alcorn that really intrigued us. He was discuss ing the governors position in the govern ment of the state. He pointed out that. while governor cannot legislate, he can make certain recommendations to the Legislature. If the measures that are adopted fail to meet with his approval then he can veto them. Do we hear laughter from the sidelines? MT Alcorn lacks complete originality in the above declara- ion. We all know the special prerogatives of the governor of the state of Connecti- cI1f.

Philo Vance Grows Human Or Nearly So
 nv nDVrrUc CATCON

There is not much sense in wax ing. critical about the books of s. s. Van Dine. Either you like them or you don't. If you do, you like them very much indeed, and if you don't you probably can't stand the sight of them. So all a reviewer can do is to report that his newest book is 'The Casino Murder Case" (Scribner's $2) and that 1t presents Philo Vance solving a homicide with his customary. deftness.
 A young playboy gets poisoned in a tony New York gambling joint: simultaneously, his wife is poisoned in. the privacy of their home. MT Vance manages to get to the bottom, of this without in- dulging in his customary monolog about Chinese ceramics, tropical fish or high mathematics--which is a break indeed.
 While the yarn as whole seems to me to be definitely below stand ard. the detective becomes more nearly human than ever before.
 "The Man With Bated Breath, OyA JOSCPA DdhCE $2) is about a corpse found on the grounds ofg decayed southern plantation. It brings in Oceola Orcher, a fat detective chiefly not able for his vast appetite, rings in falcon and a marijuana party, and hs a swell shooting affray in the attic.
 It never has any contact with anything resembling reality, but il does move fast.
 "Hearken to the Evidence" by IT. Russell Wakefield Doubleday doran: $2) tells how an innocent Englishwoman almost gets hanged after someone feeds arsenic to hel invalid husband. It's ingenious and full of suspense; unfortunately, the lady seems to be SO perversely empty-h headed that you're inclined to believe in her guilt even wher you know better.
 There's c bargain In Dorothy L Sayers' Omnibus" (Harcourt
 Brace, $2). Here we get three full
 length detective stories-"Whos,

 and 'The Unpleasantnes at tn,

 and the book makes a swell tw,
 bucks worth for the diseriminatinI
