CANADA HELPED
BY WHEAT'S RISE
Millions Added to Income of
Prairie Provinces This
Season.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

OpeClal OiSpdICu W 4AC 0baA'
OTTAWA, Canada, August 13.-
Rising wheat prices on the Chicago
and Winnipeg markets mean millions
of dollars to farmers in Canada's
prairie provinces, bringing prosperity
nearer and indirectly giving a big
boost to dependent business activity.
A most important feature is that
these prices are rising just at time
when large wheat sections OF Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are
being harvested.
An indication of how the situation
appears to those farmers is given in
the October wheat quotations. On
May l wheat was quoted at 6712 cents
bushel; today the price is around 95
cents and the expectation is that a
much higher level will be reached be-
for the end of the month. In August,
1888, high was 907s cents for October
delivery.
So far there has been no close eSti-
mate of this years Canadian crop,
though it may be a little more than
the 269, ,OOO, 900 bushels of last year.
But the world crop in general will be
short, accounting for the frenzied bid
ding in grain pits and the more hope
full outlook for Canadian farmers.
Part of the benefit of higher prices
will accrue from 1888 wheat carried
over, pools and other owners gaining.
Total carryover from 1888 will ap-
proximate 1876 100000 bushels, against
219,O00,000 carried over from 1882
into 1888.
Canadian wheat in store for the
week ended August totaled 1877 ,349,-
900 bushels, as compared with 1885,
944,81o year ago. OF the total,
177,622 1894 is the visible supply in
Canada the remainder being in Amer
lean elevators. This visible supply
does not include farm stocks or wheat
in transit by rail.

A Challenge Is Issued

In accepting the democratic nomination of governor for the third time Wilbur l.. Cross hurls challenge at the voters ot Connecticut. He makes plain the fact that from outside our own fair state today come influences that are not destined to work for the common good of the state itself, but for the corporate interests ot this vast power empire into which we have been hurled. It is perhaps the first time that Governor Cross has delivered such broadside against the republican organl- zation that is headed by State Chairman J. Henry Roraback.
 In calling attention to the fact that one huge power empire controls more right of eminent domain in Connecticut than the state itself, he should be bringing no real news to our attention. That IS con- mon knowledge, but it has not occasioned among the voting public the real concern that it should. Too many voters do not realize what it actually means. They would if some day they awoke and learned that our streams, our lakes, and our for ests were no longer our own, but were those of some company to develop as they saw fit. Such an eventuality can well come to pass.
 That Governor Cross intends to wage vigorous campaign lIllS ldll CSu Sesoiy oo seen by reading his remarks to the dele gates yesterday afternoon. There will be no let up in his plans to secure passage of those pieces of legislation which he first asked for in 1880. Twice hostile legisla- tive bodies have turned him aside. He still persists in demanding that consideration be given the people of the state and not the vested interests. All of which is cal culated to bring us to realization of what odds the governor has fought against during his two terms
 Surely the voters of Connecticut should be responsive to his pleas by this time. Surely they should realize that he speaks the truth when he declares that only a mere political organization has prevented passage of vital laws in this state of recent years. We will have to overthrow this yoke sooner or later. Why not now when the democratic party is offering to the state slate of candi- dates who are committed to the best in- terests of the state at large and not to the individual. A challenge has been is- sued to us. Can we refuse to accept it?
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-07

spite of the fact that the whole Spanish navy was sent out to guard them, English corsairs got their hands on plenty of it. The noble art of hi-jacking was performed in a way to turn the Spaniards' hair gray.
 One is reminded of this, somehow, by the extreme precautions that had to be taken when the federal government began to move $2,000,000,0 900 in gold from the San Francisco mint to the Denver mint. A small army of police, federal men, and sol diers was on hand to guard it. Two hun- dred machine guns were ready to shoot down hi-jackers. The moral is unpleasant, but clear. Conditions in the United States today are very much like those on the high seas in the lawless 18th century.

Press Comment
NO CLAM CHOWDER? (Hartford Courant)

Explorers are, by tradition at least, lean, bronzed fellows whose greatest asset is their ability to go without food for long periods. It is news to learn that occasionally they break their lasts and that when they do, they display nice taste in the dishes they choose. A group of them have been asked to list their culinary preferences for the instruction and edification of the stay-at-homes, and the result is at once interesting and alarm ing. Fried octopus, as it is pre- pared in Naples, bamboo cartridges skewered with pine needles, the rijst-rabel, whatever that may be. of the Hotel des Indes in Batavia, flying fish rolled in breadcrumbs and fried in deep fat, paste made of the flyers of dovekies-these are but few of the delectable memo- ries that are given in the list.
 Curiously, though all of the questioned explorers were Ameri- cans, there was but one native dish listed-Virginia batterbread served with broiled quail. The rest of the United States is utterly ignored. From the Indian pudding with ma- plesyrup of Vermont to the corn pone and pot likker of Huey Long's state, from the shad of Connecti- cut and Maryland to the abalone of California and the salmon and blue grouse of Oregon, all is ig- nored save a single product of Vir- ginia. Kentucky, which boasts no less of it's beaten biscuits than of it's mint juleps, apparently does not exist. The baked beans of Boston, the scrapple of Philadelphia, the wild duck served with wild rise of Charleston-but why continue to raise false hopes? The explorers voted for none of these.
 But the bitterest blow of all is that even George Palmer Putnam, who ought to know better, did not list clam chowder. To be sure, Mir Putnam's selection was not for the ''best" but the ''quaintest" dish well-hung narwhale skin. But best or quaintest, how could he think of listing anything but that food that has turned the immortals in disgust from their ambrosia, prop erly brewed clam chowder?

Another Winter Coming

The critical nature of the unemploy- ment relief picture in the United States is graphically shown by the news that just about one-fourth of the inhabitants of New York City are now receiving sub stantial relief of some kind. Public Well fare Commissioner Hodson says that fully 100000 New York families are on relief now, and that the number may rise to half a million before the end of the year.
 The effort to find the money to finance this tremendous relief load is jarring New York to it's foundations, naturally enough. Such load cannot be borne indefinitely. It cannot be borne at all without full puh- lie realization of the prime importance of keeping people from starvation. If the New York case were an isolated instance, things would not be so bad. But it is not. All across the country the situation is very similar. It is not pleasant to think of what may happen if substantial and lasting industrial revival does not come very soon.

A Book a Day
When Flaming Youth Tries To Settle Down
BY BRUCE CATION

A little more than a decade ago we were all hot and bothered about tho Lost Generation-hap- pers. flaming youth, gin-swilllng collegiates, and the rest of the self consciously abandoned group made familiar by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
 Those folk have grown up. by now, and married and settled down; and if you want to know what they look like as they sllde into their 30's you cannot do bet ter than read John O'Hara's new novel. Appointment in Samara.' MT O'Hara tells of a group or young married folk in small city in Pennsylvania. They are the Fitzgerald children grown into men and women; the country club crowd, now, rootless and aimless, drifting with the tide, educated and cultured on the surface, but blind and rather stupid beneath.
 They make, indeed, an odd set, snobbish and jealous and vaguely dissipated. They rise with the ip- dustrial boom and think themselves fine fellows; when the boom bursts. they cannot understand why they start to sink.
 MT O'Iara Is chiefly concerned with one Julian English, head of a high priced auto agency. This chap. who seems to be a smart business man and complete good scout, actually turns out to be pretty stupid.
 For no reason at all, except that he Is irritable and rather dumb, he involves himself in a chain of blunders from which he can escape, at last, only by killing himself. And his career seems to epitomize the course of his whole class. Published by Harcourt, Brace and Co. this book sells at $2.50.

with all the latest utensils of the culinary art.
 The kitchen is the latest att tempt to solve the generals food problem.
 At first he lunched atthe Oc- cidental restaurant, just across the street from the MIRA. A little area was roped off for him and Miss Robinson; and all the moguls of the iron, steel, automobile and other branches of the industrial world came to the Occidental to watch the gen. eral eat and to wait for an op- portunity to put in a word with him.
 Eventually, Johnson gave this the MIRA roost.
 About noontime, Miss Robin son would enter his office, sit on the edge of Johnson's wide desk and say:
 "Well general, what are we going to eat to-day?"
 Usually this started consider able argument. Sometimes the general wanted filet of sole from the Willard hotel, while Miss Robinson wanted crab flakes from the Occidental.
 And on one particular occa- sion their tastes ran in so many different directions that seven messengers were dispatched to seven different hotels and res- taurants, to get seven different dishes.
 So now the general and his executive assistant have their own private kitchen.
 K. F. c. VACANCY
 Western liberals are waging a quiet, but determined, cam- paign to retain the REC seat recently made vacant by the death of Wisconsin's Progress sive ex-Senator John J. Blaine.
 Their choice is another Wis., consin Progressive, Ralph M. Immell, youth commander of the States National Guard.
 An overseas veteran, execu- tive secretary to Blaine when the latter was governor of Wiscon- sin, and an extremely able ad- ministrator, Immell is known in the Midd!ewest as a young pro- gressive.
 The argument being made in his behalf is that he is not only highly qualified forthe job, but that Blaine's passing left the REC without liberal represen- tation.
 SQUIRMED
 It was interesting to watch the reaction of administration politicos to the recent primary returns.
 They squirmed and floundered about like fish on hook. Par ticularly was this the case re- garding Sinclair.
 Usually, in a state of Cali fornia's size and importance, a democratic majority such as that piled up by Sinclair would
