Fayors State Handled Workman's
Compensation

Minnesota insurance men are opposed to the
state engaging in the insurance business in any
form, proposed in the Farmer-Labor platform &C
cording to letter from the Insurance Federation of
Minnesota to Governor Olson Tuesday.
The Governor recently stated that he does not
favor state handling and operation of all lines Of In
surance as proposed in the platform, but does be-
ieve the state properly handle some lines such
as workman's compensation and some forms OF Soc
ial insurance.
Another attempt to gain control of all private
business of the state Any employer, who has had
the experience of being without workmens compen-
sation recently, did the Herald win find that to
secure the same is forced to take out supporting
lines of insurance, sign the dotted line with
the state department under what Is termed the Min
nesota plan. We believe, it is bad enough to be
forced to take out additional lines of insurance with
out signing business rights away to the state!

 TO MEET TONIGHT
Plans For Coming Year to Be Discussed at Sprague
 School
WATERyILLE


 The executive committee of the Waterville Parent-Teacher Asso- citation will meet at 70 o'clock this evening in the teachers room at Sprague Grammar school. Mrs Louis c. Willard, the new president of the association. will preside at the meeting, which will be attend. ed by all of the officers and com mittee heads. Plans for the com, ing year and for the September meeting will be discussed. The latter will take place at the gym nasiurn of Sprague Grammar school on the afternoon of Tues day. September 18th.
 Mrs Willard will have several program suggestions to submit to the executive committee. Several of them were secured at the summer institutes for Parent Teacher Association officers, which were held at Yale University and Connecticut State College. The new president of the Waterville group attended both institutes and found them very helpful.
 Pride of Welch
 Mrs Katherine c. Malia, chief companion of Pride of Welch Circle, Companions of the Forest. the auxiliary to Court Welch, For esters of America. will preside at the regular meeting of that organ ization at Francis Hall on Boyden street. The Circle has been one of Waterville's most active social groups and is planning busy fall and winter season, the program for which will be presented and discussed this evening
 Vets Meet Tonight
 Waterville World War Veterans are showing a great deal of inter- est in the recently-organized Wa terville World War Veterans Asso- citation and good attendance is expected at this evenings meeting. All who attend will have the privi- lege of becoming charter members according to the announcement of Alfred Lachance, the commander of the association. The enthusi- asm already shown by the mem- bers of the group indicates that il will soon become one of the most active of Watervil1e's organizations. Tonight's meeting will take place at eight o'clock at St Michaers Par- ish hall.
 Teaching High School
 Friends of Miss Florence Dock um, who formally resided on How ard street, and who was graduated with highest honors from Connec- ticut State College in June of this year, are interested to know that she has joined the faculty of Plainville high school. She as sumer her new duties this week, teaching English and Home Eco- monies.
 Dwight Street Storm Drain Needed
 The recent sewer rainstorm again indicated the necessity for the installation of 8 storm-water sewer in Dwight street, which is Waterville's steepest residential street. The washout damage on this street following every storm is very costly to the city and it is felt that sewer from White to Homer street would pay for itself in a comparatively short time and thereafter, constitute a real econ- omy. It is hoped that something can be done in the near future to obtain federal relief funds to tackle the job in the same manner as Cooke street and Colonial ave- nue were cared for.

 Just to mention the hold Vic Vast band O bands has on the lovers of terpsichore they played at the popular bah room last Sat- urday arriving at 8:30 p. m., in one of the worst rain storms and were advised not to play by Man. ager Halliwell and paid off and told not to unpack their instru- ments. etc. An arrangement was made to take the place of this en- gagement as there were only two customers on hand as the storm was at its very height and while awaiting to make the return trip when the rain subsided, the autos of dancers began to arrive in droves and the musicians began to unpack and tune up and inside of half an hour despite the steady downpour of rain the entire park damned with autos bringing en- thusiastic dance lovers and one of the largest crowds of the season were will repaid and sincerely showed their appreciation of Dick Halliwelps efforts to bring the very best in dance music.

Welcome sunny days, welcome once again, Truly sad we awaited thee, It seemed almost eternity, Ere you won out and repelled the rain. Harsh and ruthless came the storm, The trees grew wan and pale, Throughout the hill and vale, As the wind approached in dreaded form. Ominous and furious in the pitch black sky The thunder roared and crashed, The lightning pitched and flashed, With certain vengeance no one can dety. The storm has passed, the sky is blue, Oh welcome joyous sunny days, Farewell to mist, farewell to haze, I'm sure none of us will ever long for ycu

Huey Long Yields EDery Weapon
 To AUert Ruin In 7o-day,S Vote
Triumph in New Orleans Vital to Maintain His
 Hold on State

thorizes the state machine to put special deputies in the voting places, the freight to be paid by the communities.
 On this, many communities in Louisiana are to-day in a state of revolt. Long also drove through Q bill to investigate the city gov- ernment of New Orleans, and it's alleged graft, and had himself ap- pointed prosecutor.
 He says the board will meet under national guard protection, and says, ITO hell with the courts" There is no doubt he will find the worst kind of vice conditions in New Orleans.
 .sI am the state,' he says. 1T am the Investigating committee, the governor. everything else; am the constitution"
 BROOKS NO RIVALS Long has so picked his men and organized his machine that no one in it can threaten his supremacy. He does not choose men of that caliber. He must be sun, moon, and stars of his political firma- ment, and his appointees only the asteroids wandering around. Yet this man has lost every vot- ing place in which he lived. Winn parish, where he was born and reared, voted against him; Shreveport, where he had his home for years. went against him; Baton Rouge, which he enriched during his governorship with tremendous construction, and in other ways, doesn't give him enough votes to sweeten his coffee.
 If he wins in the New Orleans election tomorrow, there is no telly ing to what ends he yet may go. If he loses, it will be a hard beat ing.
 Win or lose, he still is a force to reckon with and fear, for though he has been down many times, he has yet to be counted out.
