Many newspapers played up Cen
eral JohnsOn's exhibition of human
qualities" in his farewell address to
NRA employees as if some new trait
in the retiring Administrator had
come to the surface at that late date.
Those who were surprised that the
veteran cavalry officer had a heart"
certainly never had more than casual
acquaintance with him. He could

Some of the states that have had
PWA allotments for specific projects

to election this year is about to lose
a $19,0O0,000 project, but the full

Washington Snapshots

The manner IN which the present
Administration has gone about en-
trenching itself in power is one of
the despairs of the opposition. Can
didly those in control of Democratic
headquarters admit that they know
or believe they do-how every
county in the United States is going
to vote in the November elections
for Congress. They think they know
where Administration candidates
stand to win and where they might
lose.
Washington political observers
have seen or studied many political
machines in action since Alexander
Hamilton created the first, but there
have been few to compare with the
present set up fashioned by those
who learned their politics in Tam
many Hall.
Hopes of the Nation for an end of
industrial warfare with the an
nouncement of President Roosevelt
that he intended to seek a truce dur
ing the emergency were quickly
swallowed up in a statement of the
American Federation of Labor that
1t would not permit any discourage
ment of its right to strike. Since
then no one has attempted to figure
out how the industrial disputes that
have been blocking recovery can be
ended if strikes continue.

the primary election. This allot-
ment will be made elsewhere. OF
course, this probably is oil much
higher plane than anything akin to
practical policies. And the same
may be true in the matter of speed
ing up corn-and-hOg checks to farm
ers. They are going out now in
million-dollar patches with election
day one month away.

Some of the Administration
cleaners of statistics have assembled
what is described as startling infor-
nation. If these compilers of what's
doing and why be correct, the old
wheeze of how big business is
crushing little business is due for
sharp revision. The very latest dope
is that little business is mailing big
business to the NRA cross.

Several Fires
The Frankford Volunteer Fire
Company was called to two out-of-
town fires last week. Wednesday af-
ternoon they were called to the
home of George Brittingham, a mile
west of town. His barn was on fire.
AS a large ditch is adjacent to this
property, they had an abundance of
water. The fire was extinguished and
all the other buildings saved. The
loss was about $3.50 with a small
amount of insurance.
Early Friday evening they were
called to Whites Neck, several
miles from here, to the home of
Arab Richards. 1t was beyond con-
troll when they arrived, and the
woods near the home was set on fire
by sparks. They saved the woods.
Mr. Brittingham's barn was fired
by spontaneous combustion from
green fodder. Mr.. Richards and fam
lily were away. There were no fires
in stoves in the house. The loss was
about $1,000 and only a small
amount of insurance. In the loss
was $50 in money.
Flremen Delayed
The firemen were delayed last |
week in getting to one fire by the |
curious public; also going to the |
fire. They hOgged the road and /
would not give the fire truck the
right of way, and when they did |
reach the scene they parked their :
cars in the way; again delaying the +
fire truck. The public can greatly
cooperate by merely keeping out of
the way, and above all, when the fire
company is called, kindly give the
location of the fire and the road
leading to it. Recently the company
went out of the way trying to get to
a fire.

WHEAT CHECKS ARE
SENT TO FARMERS
[C0ntiHued from Firm Page]

lIOHHHued from FHn Pdgel
order that the contract signers will
receive their checks within a short
period of time, as these second pay
ments are now long past due.
Regarding the wheat compliance
for 1885, circular which has been
prepared by the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration explaining
this feature of the wheat allotment
plan is being mailed from the coun-
ty extension Office in Dover to each
contract signer. The operator of
farm under wheat allotment con-
tract is permitted this fall to seed
80 per cent of the base acreage al
lowed in the 1888 contract, and
planting less than the maximum for
harvest in 1884 does not permit the
seeding of an acreage above the
maximum for the 1885 crop. AS the
present wheat allotment contracts
terminate with the 1885 harvest,
there can be no adjustment made for
planting over the maximum acreage
this fall.
In reference to the use of fertil-
izer on wheat land this fall, the ad-
ministrative rulings ON this subject
state that contracting producer
who used fertilizer on any of the
wheat acreage during any of the |
base period may, for all the 1885 |
wheat acreage, use the same aver
age per acre of application as that
used on the fertilized wheat acre
age in those base years when fertil-
izer was applied.
Where a farm changes owners or
tenants, notice of such change
should be filed with the county al
committee, with the new
owner or tenant signing the form
to the change of legal stat
