The committee consists Of
eight members. -Four of the
group-Byrnes, s. c.; Bankhead,
Ala; Couzens, Mich, and Cut
ting, N. Mare considered
friendly to the bill.
OF the remaining four, three
Glass, Va, chairman; Buckley,
Ohio; and Townsend, Del.-are
opposed to the measure.
That leaves McAdoo with the
deciding vote.
If he lines up with the adj
ministration the bill Is safe. But
should he go over to the oppo-
sition, the measure will run into
trouble.
McAdoo has given on indica-
ton of his attitude. Like Glass
he played q leading role In the
creation of the Federal Reserve
System. But unlike him, he has
not set his face rigidly against
any change In the banking struc-
turc.
The question, however, is
whether McAdOO Is willing to go

If anybody wants to start the argument
on the nationality of Kosciuszko there is
room for it in recent remarks of New
Britain speaker. He maintained that
Kosciuszko was Lithuanian and not
Pole. From time to time this topic comes
up right here in Waterbury, too. 1t has
been rather conclusively proved in recent
years, we think, that the famous noble-
man who fought so bravely for the cause
of the American colonies is really Lltnu-
anian by birth, but by military training
was Pole.

The death of Arthur Somers Roche re-
moves an interesting figure from the field
of literature. Incidentally Roche is re-

His ability as a mystery and detective
story writer was considered sufficient In
the World War to qualify him for Cap
tain's ranking in the Military Intelligence

Washington, Feb 22,-AmonS
Jim Farley's intimates there lis
chatting at the bit over his silence
in face Of the barage now con-
centrated on him.
They are urging the hefty New
Yorker to chuck his pose or
aloofness and fight back.
And the first thing they want
him to do Is to have plain talk
with his chicf-the president.
They want Jim to tell F. d. 4.
that since he is being assalled for
things he did with presidential
sanction, the presiden. should
now come TO his defense.
That Roosevelt has not raised
his voice is warmly resented In
the Farley camp. =
His followers point out-what
every informed politician knows
that Jim never lifts his lit
tlest political finger without
first discussing 1t with the presi-
dent.
The holy Joe" Mckee candi-
dacy against Mayor Fiorello La
Guardia, the fight against Sena-
tor Bronson Cutting, the CANCEL
lation Of the airmail contracts,
and O. number of other affairs
for which Farley is now being
denounced were all undertaken
will, full White House knowledge
and approval.
It is not denied that Jim was
an enthusiastic participant In
these enterprises.
The polnt his friends make
Is that It IL unfair to make him
the sole goat. v

with their Ki-Yak on the roof OF

quarters OF a mile below and above

brush, fallen tree trunks and fences.
to all of which debris was clinging;
this prevented the progress OF the
Ki-Yak and the water in this very
important drainage stream.
The most interesting phase OF the
trip was the closeness with which
they came to the water fowl OF the
tern family before these birds left
their peFches.
It is a fact we'll known by
the farmers and land owners Of the
sections bordering Marshy Hope
Greek and its branches, that these
streams need to be widened. deep
ened, and cleared OF distractions to
prevent their oVeriiOwing and long

Nationally, milk headed the list as
the chief crop with a total cash in
come of Sl,114,O16,OO0, with cotton
and cotton seed in second place.
Chickens and eggs raP':ed fourth.
In the figures from which the
rankings were made, the cash re-
turn the farmer obtains from actual
commercial sale of the product is
alone considered. II is pointed out
that If farm value were compared,
there would be some change in the
listings, as. for instance. the larger
part of the corn raised in this coun-
try is not sold as corn but in the
form of pork.
Milk was the chief crop from the
standpoint of income in Delaware's
three adjoining states, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Maryland.
While chickens and eggs held first
place only in Delaware. the farmer
of this country realized more from
this branch of farming than from
the cash value of either corn or
wheat. Further, poultry is listed with
milk and truck crops as bringing in
substantial revenue in practically
all communities.
The farmers gross cash income
has increased from S4.377 POI 900 in .
1882 to 1926, ,7O9.O 900 in 1884. Even
more important, however, in so far
as the farmers ability to purchase
goods is concerned, is the fact that
the farm income remaining. after
