With increased wartime reve-
nues We find the growth Of the
American farm developing apace.
We see the acceptance OF the trsc-
tor and the multitude of motor
lied mechanisms by the farmer. The
radio came and daily. almost hourly.
his freside was besieged by the
hook-ups 10 buy this and that.
Planned programs OF discomfort
with his To- was sent from every
store that had something to sell to
the farmer. I have heard them, so
have you. His sons were taken 0ff
the land and paid S. a day and
came back TO tell dad that he vas
a stick-in- the-mud. Dad then mad
to pay common labor IS a day TO
shuck corn. He had to have roads
to run his new toys on so his taxes
we're increased to provide them. He
had 10 have a better school system
to develop the new thought so big
ger and better schools we're added
to his burden.
Circle of Debts Created
It was no longer fashionable to
take the products Of the land and
eat them. They had to be processed
by someone else. A bushel of wheat
went out at 81 and came back On
a perambulating grocery valued at
81 II was shot in the air and rolled
out thin and butter crusted to a
queens taste but it cost money. The
only thing the farmer could hope
for from the increased tariff was
that his sons could get enough more
education out of the new system to
eventually pay of the mounting
debt.
Debt. that was the word. Debt
for things chat would wear out long
before they were paid for; debt for
fuel for motors that had to be
bought away from the land in place
of forage for horses that could be
picked out of the stalk fields. Debts
for specialized medical services in
far away hospitals brought close to
the barn wards by luxurious am
bulance cars Debts to set sons up
in the business of running garages
in the next Town or county. Debts
to pay notes that were Endorsed 10
obtain money for some one else who
needed it &c get something he did
not need.
New Task Taken
I saw it all and waited for the
climax. 1t was not written that the
land could pay for it. The land
could supply a good living. It could
keep a family in peace and COM
fort for generation after generation
if it was clear of a pledge. 1t could
even keep a family if pledged lit
tie as had been the custom prior to
1914 but no land had yet been
plowed that would bear the burden
of fictitious loan values however
they we're placed there.
In that ~ effect the practice was
no different from watering the

Mentioning

A summer tourist" comes back from
the North Country, red and happy what
did you do?" his friends ask ooh, I
caught lot of fish,! what else?" 'Well,
it's great life, if you can stand the mos
quitoes - fine sunshine, good sleeping at
night, appreciation of plain grub" And
that's about all. Another homing tourist
from the same region says casually, ooh,
yes, I caught some fish, and had good
time" He stops there, knowing that his
audience isn't much interested in further
details. For he's an old-fashioned type and
does queer things on such vacation.
He finds trolling for trout, bass or
"muskies" dull and tiresome. He is inter-
ested merely in being on the water under
bright sky, moving leisurely along, ex-
ploring bays and shores. He studies the
water. He knows that blue water is deep,
that green water is shoaling, yellow water
, is dangerous and brown water means
crash. He has pretty good idea where
the storms come from, and what kind OF
weather to expect, and any kind is O. X.
with him. He knows what the rocks are
made of, and when and how they were
laid down, and how the glaciers made the
contour of the shores. He loves the ancient
foundation-g granite and the red sandstone,
dUu ID ScCIIuS dCqudlHIeu Will IIle lOSSllS
in the limestone, and imaging about how
it must have looked thereabouts 100000
900 years ago.
Ashore there is fascination everywhere.
In the woods almost every square yard
has a story to tell. He recognizes as old
friends the various evergreens and biches,
the shrubs and flowers, the MOSES and
lichens that spread so lovely carpet over
the rocks after rain. He is at home in
the woods by day or night, and knows his
way by the stars-incredibly bright stars,
oddly high in the north and setting farther
south than usual.
He makes friends with the wild life.
The loon answers his laugh. The birds,
squirrels, groundhogs and porcupines rec
ognize friend, and study him as he does
them. He shoots nothing, frightens moth
ing, recognizing the native rights of these
creatures, and thinking it becomes guest
to behave himself. And so, destroying
nothing and robbing nothing, he takes
much treasure home with him.

stumbling block athwart the path of prog
ress in Fairfield county. -. :"
Growing tension in Fairfield county is
widening to other counties where there
is a fear that perhaps the state is going
TO obligate itself from something down in
Fairfield county that the rest of the coun-
ties may not have any real liking for. We
say this, because after the whole affair
apparently being settled by the Legisla-
ture authorizing a $15,000,000 county
bond issue, that would include federal aid
in the form of As per cent grant, moth
ing is really settled as the cost now has
been jumped to $27,000,000.
How the roadway cost can be jumped
$12,000,O0O without legislative authority
is another thing to be discussed. Right
now we would like to register against all
such high-priced roads as this. We may be
going counter to the best interests of the
state, but we don't think so when we say
that $27,000,000 in these times is ire
mendous amount of money to spend. If it
actually relieved the unemployment situaA
ton for few months there might be some
excuse, but it doesn't. Expensive roads,
bridges, and like projects are piling up
huge debts to be paid off twenty and thir-
ty years hence. If this state can't build a
parkway for $15,0O0,OOO that will satisfy
the entire populace then something is
sadly wrong and demands correction.

Cause for Caution Solely

The announcement by the local Health
Department that there are seven known
cases of infantile paralysis is not cause
for alarm, but rather one Of warning to
mothers and fathers. Forewarned they
may take the necessary precautions to
prevent the spread of this disease which
has taken many infant lives in the past,
as well as adult, and which so often has
lifelong after effects. Waterbury is not in
the throes or even the beginning of an
epidemic.
But with even only seven cases recorded
in the city there is always danger of con-
tagion and so precautions should be taken
to guard children against the disease. This
can be done in many ways. One sure way
is to shun crowds where danger of con-
tacting the disease may be multiplied. 1t
was only three years ago that mild
scare was caused by the seasonal increase
of infantile paralysis sufferers beyond the
100 mark That the epidemic did not ex-
coed those bounds was due to prompt ac-
ton upon the part of medical and health
authorities. The same cooperating forces
will, we know, control the present situa-
ton.

The part that the Negro has played in
Connecticut history was recently reviewed
in tercentenary paper by Frank T. Car
ter of Hartford. He pointed out, among
other things, that the negro population of
Connecticut back in 1774 was 6,464. He
cited the names of David Humphrey of
Derby, who served as Major in the Rev.
dictionary War; Ebenezer Hill, who saw
services at Saratoga and also was present
when Burgoyne surrendered; Jonathan
Freeman and Lambro Latham, who were
killed with Colonel Ledyard at Fort Girls
void in 1871. 1t was Freeman who killed
the British commander Major Montgom-
cry and in turn fell pierced by 80 bay
onets. One of the first Negro poets of the
colonies was Jupiter Hammond, who was
a Hartford slave. Yale University in 1876
gave the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy
to Edward A. Bouchet, the first Negro to
receive such an honor.

Pifle!

The Waterbury American and Republic
can split the air and everything else yes
terday, including the infinitive, in another
double-barrelled blast against the city
administration in their mad rawlings and
frothing at the mouth over their inability
to convince people that Waterbury is being
bludgeoned into a state of -feeble-minded
subservience to what they would portray
as almost set of master criminals.
In this instance the appointment OF
twenty-siX supernumeraries last week to
the police force was the theme song for
the latest blowout. If this was to cost the
city anything extra, or exceeded the quota
required by law, the harmonics of the
above mentioned journals lacrimose
laments would not have been quite so sour.
However, what's few harmonics, or
whole harmonica band, when their pet
ambition is at stake, whack at the City
Hall themselves? Men have been known
to hamstring one another for less. If
the sputterings of these papers really
amounted to anything, Mayor Hayes would
have long since been cold meat.
Fortunately, as the past has conclusively
demonstrated, despite the fact that these
papers claim SO out of every 100 English
speaking people in the city and near
vicinity read their columns, they do not
sell the public in the same proportion when
it comes to pressuring it on its politics,
which in our estimation is food for
reflection.
In any event the purge goes on, skipping
day by day from one thing to another in
the hopes of convincing the public that
what they are perfectly satisfied with is
wrong. Nothing's right that Mayor Hayes
or his administration does = doubly so
election year until it gets to where the
Leavenworth street combination works
itself into such a lather that the public
decides that Publisher Pape has too many
axes to grind and takes the edge off on
election day by refuting such political
piffle to the tune of ever increasing dem
ocratic majorities. Long live Mr.. Pape!

The Diverse Paths
Of Three Brothers
BY BRUCE CATION

The middlewest as background
for family development seems to
fascinate novelists-and not with
out good reason. One Of the best
studies along this line is presented
in George Cronyn's novel, Fortune
and Mems Eyes"
Mr.. Cronyn offers us a middle.
western minister who is at war
with his environment. He enlists
as an army chaplain in the Span
ish war, and the home town folk
are divided as to whether he is a.
hero or a wife deserter.
Coming home, somewhat reluc.
family, he finds both his theology
and his social philosophy too adj
vanced for his congregation; after
losing both pulpit and reputation,
he at last winds up as editor of
pale-pink magazine.
He has three sons, and they
grow up under strange phychic
pressures. One, devotinC an eye to
the main chance, marries a rich
girl and becomes prosperous in
vestment banker. The second
runs away from home, becomes a
lumberjack in the northwest, and
finally turns into a hard-fisted
radical agitator. The third, a some
what frail lad with artistic lean
ings, becomes an architect.
These three reach maturity just
before the depression arrives. And
then, oddly enough, 1t is the rich
young banker who breaks under
the strains which the Wall Street
collapse reaches.
He saves his fortune, but the
general downfall Of all his stand
ards is too much for him, and at
last he commits suicide-leav1ng
his money to the two brothers he
had always despised as weaI<Iings.
This hasty summary does poor
Justice to a thoughtful, richly
favored novel which contains m
excellent critique of modern Amer
lea. Published by Covici-Friede,
the book retails for $3.50.

Sunday was visiting day at the CCC
camps and it was gala day all around
the Connecticut circuit. If the CCC camps
have done any more work in other states
than they have in this one, they surely
must be held in high esteem. It was one
project that succeeded even beyond fond
est hopes of the proposer If, as has been
said, the CCC camp was President Roose-
velt's own idea, he richly deserves vote
of thanks and confidence for providing
this means of putting the youth OF the ma
ton at gainful employment and also pre-
venting said youth from becoming a prey
to the evil forces now at work in this land
and seeking idle boys as suitable recruits.

WHITE HOUSE CLOSURE
As the Congressional session
wears on, some of the presi-
dents best friends are comparing
the situation within the White
House as similar to that during
the latter days of Woodrow Will
son when Joe Tumulty, his Sec
rotary, and William Gibbs Nc
Adoo, his son-in-law and secre-
tary of the treasury. ran the adj
ministration.
At that time few people could
reach the president, and few
policies could be initiated with
out going through either Tu-
multy or McAdoo. ,@t.s
The White House to-day, ac-
cording to many, is being in
fluenced chiefly by Marvin
Mcintyre, presidential secre-
tary, and by young Henry
Morgenthau, secretary of the
treasury.
This comparison is exaggerat-
ed, but there is enough truth in
it to bear watching. 1t is a, fact
with every president, but es.
pecially with one precluded for
physical reasons from much ac-
tivity, that those nearest him
sooner or later dominate his
policies, mold his views s.
Young Henry Morthenthau's
attitude is that of one at the
throne of the mighty. He is a
worshipper rather than domin-
ator.

here in Connecticut. These lines
are written not in the spirit Of re-
proach but to see that our be-
loved commonwealth does not
suffer from a similar visual de-
ficiency on the part of Governor
Cross. It may be too late to do
anything about the unfortunate
situation which has arisen. But
it is never too late to profit, by an
error made and so avoid its
repetition in the future.
Not long ago Governor Cross
refused to re-nominate for the
state board Of Finance and Con-
troll, Mr.. william A. Hendrick.
Mr.. Hendrick had been serving
q six year term and His Excel
lency came to the conclusion q
change in the personnel OF the
board was overdue. The posi-.
bility Of getting his own nominee
confirmed by the senate being
practically zero the governor
withdrew the nomination and let
the appointment ride for the
time being. :
As soon as the assembly adj
journed, however, Governor
Cross made q recess appoint-
ment to the vacant chair and
put i'm it the man whose name
had been unofficially tabOoed
by the senate. The appOfntee
is Mr.. Vincent Heating OF
Bridgeport, a democrat, and q
lawyer of high standing in Jas.
per McLevy's bailiwick. Attor-
ney General Daily informed
the governor that he was with
in his rights in making the ap.
pointment but Mr.. Hendrick
thought otherwise and the liti-

been out of line by about 14O
million bushels.
Most of this loss is in the
spring wheat states of North Da-
kota and Minnesota, where first
early rains brought green growth
to the young wheat, and high
hope to the farmers.
After what happened last
year, bumper crop was hoped
for and expected.
But now the black rust spore
is killing off as much as 80 per
cent of theh crop on some farms.
$50 MILLION SHORTAGE
Result will be a harvest of
about, $50 million bushels, far
below domestic requirements.
Farmers in Kansas and Nebraska
will profit, for the shortage is
already booming the price.
But growers of rusted wheat
are as bad off as last year
possibly worse.
Last year the drought was in
full blast in May, and congress
appropriated relief money June
10. No money will come from the
federal till this year, partly be-
cause the government is not on
the spot as it was before.
1t has an "out" this time. 1t
is not responsible for crop re-
duction. Spring wheat farmers
were allowed to SOW 100 per cent
of their land. They will have to
feed their rusted stubble to the
stock and try again next year.
UTILITY EDUCATION
There was day when Broad
days wise-cracking Eddie Dowl-
ing was a bit naive about hold
ing companies. To him they did
not look any more dangerous
than piece Of stage property in
his theater.
In fact, during the 1882 cleo
ton, when he was collecting
campaign funds for Roosevelt,
Eddie got a contribution for
$4,000 from the Floyd l.. Carlisle
utility interests, one of the big
gest holding companies in the.
country.
Eddie took the check back to
headquarters with great glee and
was grief stricken when Roose-
welt told him he could not ac-
cept it.
'Tt's the biggest single con-
tribution of the campaign"
mourned Eddie.
Two years and more passed.
Eddie Bowling was invited to
speak at a farewell dinner CIV
en- to Charles F. Norris, vice
president of the Carlisle utility
companies. He was supposed to
be a humorist.
But the preceding speakers de-
voted their time to bitter attacks
on Roosevelt. And when Dowl-
ing's time came, he launched an
equally bitter attack against the
utility hosts.
Thieves! Ingrates!" he
stormed.
That ended the evening. But
it did not end Dowling's rela-
tions with holding companies. He
and his brother ran coal COM
pany which supplied fuel to
power plants in and around

The pale curled seeding surged
Up through the soil to find
A world of salt-fringed wind,
A world of sand and sea
Held by no closer thing
Than the guardian sky.
And yet how soon
The flower knew
Some alchemy of sky-and- sea-
To bloom in never such acstacy
OF blue!
Tow soon the dune grass taught
The friendliness
OF sea-spurred wind;
How soon delphlnium learned TO dance
With challenging air.
