Build Trench SilOs.

THE cool wet Spring and the coolest
u June Of 20 years have combined
to cause o serious problem for the
farmer of the corn belt who finds his
crop anywhere from two weeks to a
month behind schedule. It means
production of soft corn and the prob
lem Of feeding 1t before it spoils is
complicated by the fact that there will
be fewer animals to be fattened than
ordinarily.
This situation, coupled with the
serious problem Of transporting feed
such as hay last year into the drought
areas has brought widespread IN
terest in the so-called trench silo.
The normal silo, circular and barn
high, Is familiar in this section, but In
some parts Of the country, notably
the corn belt, the silo Is not 90 much
IN use.
The trench silo Is dug in the earth,
with sloping bottom to permit drain
age of water which might make its
way into the grain pits. These
trenches have been found practical
and have proven q great boon to the

sleep in. the coy warmth.
1t was an old stove, so old the COW
ers were warped and the oven door
cracked. So old that as soon as the
boys had money enough. they bought
a new one. Boots eyed the shiny mass
of iron suspiciously. He didn't like
the smell of its paint. But after a
few nights sleeping in a corner, he
decided that perhaps the new stove
would be as warm as the old one.
All one evening he tried to get un-
derneath it. but the apron came down
too low for him to make it easily. At
last, close to midnight. he succeeded
in wriggling through. Boots is per-
sistent little ''feller," as Art says.
Next morning there was trouble.
Boots was peeking out from his sleep
ing chamber when Art came in to
light the stove. Boots whined and
struggled to get out But he could not
bulge. Nothing more than his nose
showed. and the more he squirmed,
the more the iron skirt of the stove
scraped him.
Now and then, while he cooked
breakfast, Art and his brother gave
Boots a hand. They tugged until the
dog yelped. They tried to turn him
on his side and slide him out. They
tried to lift the stove with wooden
beam, but they couldn't lift it far
enough
Finally they just had to drag him
out as gently as they could. 1t took
some hair of Boots side and it bruised
him a little, but that eas much better
than leaving him in there while the
stove grew hotter and hotter.

Australia Taxes Wheat.
IN AN effort to solve the surplus wheat

problem in Australia. the common
wealth has adopted a law permitting
the levying of a processing tax OF not
more than 7.3 cents per bushel, to be
paid farmers for withholding their
grain from the market. This is not
an acreage control plan, but mar
keting plan. Farmers who suffer any
loss from holding the wheat may be
compensated up to the limit of the tax.
Conditions to the payment require
that the beneficiary of the tax be the
actual producer of the wheat, that the
grain be in good condition when stored,
that it be at least six months in
storage and that it total at least 1000
bushels,

not be welcome to eat here, unless she
bought the food!
Alone in her room, Helen dropped
into the chair before the tall old sec
tetary that stood in one corner. She
picked up her purse and emptied its
contents on the desk. There was only
D little over a dollar left now, and
when that was gone, where was any
other money coming from? Why,
she wouldn't even be able to repay
the sum that Miss Edgerton had
loaned her for railroad fare!
"It just doesn't seem possible that
all grandfather's money is gone" she
exclaimed to herself. For moment
she sat, staring straight at the wall
before her. Then she quickly un-
folded the will and read it carefully.
The legal phrases were hard to un-
derstand, but she could tell that Mr..
Peabody's Interpretation Of the will
was correct. After small bequests to
others, Helen was to get everything
that was left, but Mr.. Peabody said
there would be nothing left.
Suddenly Helen determined on a
course of action. She found paper in
the desk, and got a pencil from her
purse. Then, swiftly but carefully,
she copied every word of the will.
When it was done, she sighed with
satisfaction. Now she could return
the will to Mr.. Peabody, and still have
. copy of its provisions. And she was
going to take that copy to Ralph Will
sons father tonight.
THE evening meal was a dismal af-
80 fair. Helen sat at the big table
with Mr.. and Mrs. Peabody and hardly
lifted her eyes from her plate. Nor
did they make any effort to talk.
Finally, when the dessert was served,
Helen inquired in which house Dr.
Wilson lived. Mr.. Peabody told her,
but he was obviously suspicious re-
garding the question

this afternoon" Helen explained. I'm

The Peabodys didn't look any too
pleased at that. Mrs. Peabody pointed
out that they went to bed early, and
didn't want to be disturbed by her
coming in late. Helen promised to
make her call on the Wilson's short.
Ralph came to the door when she
knocked on her arrival at the Wilson
house, and invited her in with pleased
surprise. The family had just finished
dinner, and Ralph Immediately intro
duced her to his mother, father and
younger sister. Helen lost no time in
explaining the purpose of her call.

manner, had listened carefully to her
recital. Now he asked her for the

Further Reduction
 In Allotments Is
 Caused By Slashing
lO9o Cut in Appropriation Put Through By State Ad ministration- Five Week Payroll in August Made
 Factor in Estimates Miss Little Responsible

More than 1000 workers on EZRA projects will be employed only 12 hours next week because of a further reduction in the monthly allotment for Waterbury, William M. Harris, local admins trator said to-day. The initial ap- propriation of approximately $25,- 900 has been slashed another 10 per cent by the state relief admin istration, MT. Harris said.
 Report 'sUnofIicial"
 Replying to his protest of the ad- ditional reduction, Miss Eleanor H. Little, state EZRA administrator explained that her first announce ment of the local grant, in a recent telephone conversation with Mir. Harris was ''unofficial."
 In letter received at the local office to-day she stated that subse- quent estimates indicated the nec- essity of another cut because "S4 percent of the communities affect ed, representing 66 per cent of the entire appropriation were faced with a five week payroll during the coming month." The five-week pay roll is not effective in Waterbury during August, MT. Harris said, al- though it was necessary last month. EZRA employees here worked only IF hours last week because of the extra payroll, the men being paid on Mondays.
 No Need For It
 Commenting on advices from na- tional headquarters to-day which place the responsibility of the re- auctions in Connecticut directly with Miss Little, MT. Harris said that in view of the fact that the state allotment fo rthe first two weeks in August was exactly the same as that for similar period In July, he could see no necessity for the reduction here.
 Federal relief officials. in answer to protests from several adminis- trators in Connecticut cities, stress ed the point that the state grant for the next two weeks was S5O0.OO0, which is no reduction from July when the state was allotted $1,000,- 900.
 Wholesale Layoffs
 Most of the larger municipalities will find it necessary to make wholesale layoffs of EZRA workers during the coming two weeks. No mon will be released here, accord- ing to Mir. Harris, although the short working schedule will be put into effect. The men this week are working 20 hours.

 Old Slogan Recalled
 Meet Me At The Junction." an old-time slogan in Waterbury's his- tory, will certainly be a common by-word once more, judging from the fine spirit shown yesterday. This morning and this afternoon hundreds of more persons were coursing through the five-story Matzkin furniture building and their praises of the makeup of the stock were loud.
 Abraham Matzkin, president and treasurer of the Matzkin Furniture Company, to-day expressed himself as well satisfied with the interest shown in his new quarters by the people of teh city adn vicinity. Similar statements were issued by Mrs. Sarah Matzkin, vice-president of the concern, and Emanuel Matz- kin, secretary of the company. Syd- ney Matzkin, is credit manager of the Matzkin Furniture Company and the sales departments are un- der the direction of Louis Ciraldi and Edward Francis. The latter two men are we'll known and very pop ular throughout Waterbury.
 Souvenirs
 Music for the closing day of the grand opening yesterday was fur nished from 6 to 10 o'clock last night by Jack Fitzgerald and his orchestra. Souvenirs were given out throughout yesterday and last evening. The grand opening will continue to-day and tomorrow, the store being open from g a. m. to g p. m. Souvenirs will be issued to those visiting the store tomorrow, also.
 In connection with the grand opening the Matzkin Company is conducting an August furniture sale. This sale will continue throughout the entire month of Au- gust and will offer to the public the highest quality merchandise, select cd from the leading furniture style centers of the nation, at most req sonable prices.
