ABUNDANT WATER
 SUPPLY EXPECTED
Good Rain and Increased Storage Capacity Late.
 Iy Aided Record

The year 1894 in COnneeticut's water supply industry was marked by an abundant supply furnished by good rainfall throughout the year, maintenance of close cooper alton with the state department Of health in the preservation of snni- tary supplies, and increased oper- Dting costs which in some instances have made necessary applications 10 the public utilities commission for increased rates, according 10 Walter r. Bchwnbc, general man agef of the Northern Connecticut Power company
 Mr gchwabe's resume of the yehr's progress among the water utilities follows:
 Although there was threat cned shortage of water ht the closing of 1883 and the beginning of 1884, An abundance of precipi- tntion fin the winter, spring and early summer soon filled tho res erVoirs and an ample supply of water was nt hand throughout the year.
 Tn close cooperation with the Bureau Of Sanitary Engineering of hH'D HLbt'o 'Fpbi AVtFbb cL "'"sN'b private utilities are ever vigilant in respect 10 sanitary conditions and protection of public water supplies and are immediately re- spOnsive 10 any Improvements that might Dc suggested by the Bureau of Sanitary Engineering or the | Public Utilities Commission. During the past ten years pri- untEiu nnEFHEn WnfTF have expanded their capacity in reservoirs, stnnd-pipes and storage tanks by the raising of dams, in- crehsing the total storage capacity l of water in the state more than 60 per cent and most properties are in fl position to meet increased de- | mandE for water service when business conditions improve and
 building operations are again re- stunned.
 Operating costs during 1884 | have increased owing to shorter
 work hours and increased mate rial costs, which in one or two in~ stances, have made it necessary 10 apply 10 the Public Utilities Com mission for permission to increase charges for domestic and cOmfner- | cial water service and lire Dfotec- 
 ttOn.
 Tt is important that income of water utility Dc sufficient to ht- tract, ht Il low cost. the necessary capital required for extensions and improvements and for efficient op- srhtion and maintenance of an adequate water supply of good | quality and ample capacity. Not many Improvements and extensions were made during 1894 as building operations were Drhcs tically at t. staHdstill but in several instances mpr0yements and ex- l tensions were made by municiphllY owned plants with PWA funds and EZRA relief.
 "ColIections are still difficult al- though there has been nn increase in revenue from industriai and
 commercial sales on account of business conditions, which 1t is ex- l pectsd will continue during lD35."

COTTON GOES UP;
 EXPORTS DECLINE
Big Decrease Seen in 1884 PrOductiOn-Tex.

(Unitssd Press fbnnciat WFlteFD
 New York (UP) P)--Cotton futures prices fin 1934 rose to the highest average in three years, while American cotton exports declined about 33 Ia per cent and tho crop value declined to the smaii- est total since 1922.
 Prices practically stabilized above 12-cent per pound lending level of the Agricultural Adjust mcnt Administration. Spot nt New York rose to 1895 cents in mid-yeHr, tho best since 1880, but an early low Of 10.46 cents cut av- craze to around I2.35 cents. In 1883 the average price was S.e3 cents; in 1882, 6.44 cents; fin 1881, s.6e cents, and in 1930, 1S.6S cents.
 Value of tho crop was around 1g26, 100000, compared with an approximate sG7G, 900 900 in 1885, largely because the crop declined to D,731, 900 bales, against 13,047,- 900 bales fin 1893, and the small. est since 1922. Government pay- ments to farmers under contract totaled about 21I7,000,000, against S113, 100000 fin 1888.
 Although production declined sharply, through operations of the Bnnkhead Act and the summer drought. the carryoyer was only slightly changed from the 10,00O,- 900 bale total of n year ago be- cause of the drop fin exports. Foreign production rose to 13,- 5gg, 900 bales, a new record high. Then, too, the government loan plan created a tight spot situation in tho South, the price of Amer ican staple rising above parity with foreign growths. Thus Amer ican exports dropped 10 around b,760,0G0 bales, compared with s,426, 900 in 1888 and an average of 7,433,000 bales in the four pre- ceding years This years world crop was estimated at 23,200,00 bales, q decline of less than 3,00G,- 900 bales compared with 1888.
 The government pool absorbed loan cotton which ordinarily would have gone into trade chan nels. In DRecember it was esti- mated the pool controlled about G2 per cent of the available supply of American cotton.
 Although some opposition deyel- oped to the AAA's policies, cotton farmers voted overwhelmingly for rention of the Bankhead Act.
 Despite the improved textile po~ sition, consumption of American cotton declined here and abroad. Foreign consumption of all kinds of cotton held slightly above the 1883 total, while American usage of aIl growths dropped some l 100000 bales.

LOWER EARNINGS
 IN WATER SUPPLY
Gaillard Reports Little Change Over '33 in Re.
 viewing Past Year

Greatly reduced earnings, some Improvement fin the industrial sit- uation, little change in domestic and commercial consumption with slightly improved collections over last year, and continuance Of the incessant efforts to keep wn- ter supplies pure and potable, have been the outstanding features of the year 1894 with respect to the water supply industry in Con- necticut in the opnion Of q. Y. Gaillard, president of the New Hn- ven Water company, as reflected In the following statement issued recently.
 Much to the surprise of many people," Mr GailIard said. "the pre- vateIy owned water companies have shared in the general depres- zion as reflected in greatly reduced earnings, due to the stngnhtion Of industry. Customers have cx- pressed surprise when told this. little realizing that the wheels of industry cannot turn without an adeauate supply of water for all purposes. However, 1t is gratifying so note gradual improvement in the industrial situation and we all hope we are on the way to better times with a lessening Of tho fear and suspicion which has been DFavalent for go long.
 "There has been little change in tiIo general commercial and do- Iisestic consumption and cash col- lections are fl shade better, but all companies are still carrying on their books hundreds of delin- duent accounts on which small sums are being paid, and in my 0pibiOn where there is at least nn indication of fl desire to pay, this vital service should not be cut off.
 pNo economies which have been nut into effect have been allowed 10 interfere with the sanitary in- spectiOn and laboratory work and the strictest vigilance Is main tained over the protection of the watershed and the treatment of the water--and every effort is fnade to furnish pure and whole some supply of water to the pub lie.
 .The rainfall for Connecticut during the past year has been above normal so that very little shortage was experienced in any ofSthc supplies, Unfortunately this excess rainfall was confined largely to September and october. In Sep tember over 12 inches of rainfall was recorded in several places in the state. This abnormal rainfall reduced water consumption but In general water sales ran about Q per cent over 1883.
 "rhsre has been some decrease fn new connections and until building returns 10 fl more normal state. there is little likelihood of any great number of additional services being required. There IS some demand, however. for fur ther extensions of mains into the country as Deoplet spread out from the city looking for permanent homes in the surrounding terri tory, and the question of how to properly finance these extensions is more difficult than usual"

New York, Dec 19-Al evidence
from west of the Mississippi river
points to a Republican revolt. Presi-
dent Roosevelt had his anti-New Deal
Democratic revolt last year The Re-
publicans are having an anti-Old
Guard revolt this year
Senator William e. Borah of Idaho,
not Herbert Hoover, may ,be the one
who will determine who the Repub-
lican nominee will be. At least, that
will be the case if transmississippi
Republicans have their say.
Senator Borah and Governor Alf M.
London of Kansas seem to be the only
potential Republican candidates who
show strength west of the Mississippi
Some of the western Republicans
say that the G.. o. p could win over
President Roosevelt if it nominated
Senator Borah for president and Sen
ator Gerald p. Nye Of North Dakota
for vice president.
But that is fantastic.
There seems little doubt that Gov
ernor Landon will come to the ma
tional convention with the most pow
erful follOWing-much tC the chargin
OF Mr.. Hoover. And, in the end, it
may be Senator Borah, not Mr.. HoOv-
er, who will swing his balance of
power for the choice of the winner.
This view is accepted by many be-
cause of Senator Borah's past his
Dry Of becoming, regular at the last
moment. At the same time, however,
he is playing med" now in the very
necessary transmississippi region.
ANOTHER ANSWER
The Roosevelt administration soon
will begin answering the onslaught OF
attacks. Nobody actually knows what
# has in hand as to answers. Perhaps
it will rely on the full dinnerpall.
Business promises to become better.
But the charges on pilling up the
national debt undoubtedly will not re-
main unanswered.
There is an assumption that the an
swer may be this:
"The debt rose to more than 20
billions after the World War. Just as
it was being reduced. milllonalre
Republican secretary of the treasury

Then. when the depression came

lions to % 1-2 billicns). 1t is true that
the debt now is more than 80 billions

THE LAZY YOUTH

Much used to be said in former
years about lazy boys. 1t would
seem as if about one-third Of the
youngsters Of that time were af-
hicted with some kind Of pernicious
anaemia known as Incidence. They
just simply wouldn't work around
the house or at their studies, and
they were too lazy even to play foot
ball or baseball.
We don't seem to hear much about
lazy youth now. The boys and girls
seem full Of energy. But that does
not prove they all do we'll in study
or work. Many of them put all their
energy into sports or social life.
If kid has a case of Old-fashioned
laziness, it would be well to let the
doctor see him. Perhaps he has some
physical defect that destroys his
Don't scold a boy for fail
ure to do things, when he has no
physical capacity to do them.
