 Reckon he's too windy to suit us." he commented dryly.
 How about Father Coughlin ?" I questioned.
 Again they hesitated. Then the Legionnaire who had lost his ai-, lowance squinted over at me. "Peo- pie round here don't seem to go in much for him neither"
 I baited my hook with the name Roosevelt.
 The elder man was the first to answer. Looks like he'd be re- elected. Guess most of us people will vote fer him again. .s. Look ed fer awhile like they'd be third party but I don't think 1t would get very far now. People don't pay much attention to big prom ises no more. They want some- body who'll do something fer em."

walked on across the street to the garage. Country garages have taken the place of the old-time live cry stables as hang-outs for the best loafers. The township super visor who owned the place was puttering around in the shop. We sat on the running board of a car and talked figures.
 In this Elwood township, of vermillion county, there were ex- actly 240 homes, housing some HOO souls. F. w. A. was taking care of 40 families. Six were on direct township relief. And 97 others were on Illinois emergency relief, that twice a month sent a wagon with enough groceries and supplies to last each family. That made 143 families out of a total of 240 that were receiving either work or direct relief from the government, state, county or township.
 'Had funny thing happen here two days ago." he went on. 1.-TWO men drawing their $i5 week from PWA got drunk and had a knife fight. The township had to send them to the hospital in Dan- vile to get them sewed up. Next morning both wives came to me and demanded money. I finally gave them $2 each. They were sore wouldn't. make it a Aver each, and when they went away one of the women said: "Just shut down on relief and you'll see real civil war"

Preliminary steps towards paw ing Wolcott street were ordered last night at a meeting of the board of works when the engin- eering and street departments were instructed to proceed with the laying out of Manor avenue which runs through Bouley manor from Wolcott street to Meriden road. The layout is being pushed ahead at this time, although plans were approved two years ago, so that the street will be in condition to accommodate incoming traffic over the Wolcott road while the paving of Wolcott street is in progress.
 The city will pave Wolcott street from the Sacred Heart church up to the point where the recently state highway begins at the en- rtance to Bouley manor. Traffic coming into the city over the new highway will be detoured through Manor avenue to Meriden road and thence along East Main street. Outgoing traffic headed for the new Wolcott highway will follow the East Main-Manor avenue route.
 Work Delayed
 Upon motion of Commissioner c. Arthur DuBois the board au- thorized Mayor Frank Hayes to confer with officials of the Con- necticut company relative to the relocation of the concerns tracks on Homer street next year. The city has already asked the com- pany to either relocate its tracks or pave between them so as to eliminate a hazard to motor vehi- cles. The trolley company inform ed the board last night that 1t is financially unable to carry out the the work this year so the board agreed to leave the matter go over to next year.
 Temporary surface repairs for Charles street were approved. Michael Toro headed 8 delegation from the street and complaind about conditions. Superintendent of streets Thomas J. Fleming was ordered to make the temporary re- pairs and the petitioners were ad- vised to petition for a layout of their street.
 Unanimous consent was given

A sixth man joined us. He leaned against shelf for minute or two, then he said: Need a man to help me with my corn cultivating. Could any of you. fellows help me out for a couple of weeks?"
 There was long silence. Then one of the men said, "I'm busy"
 It went around the circle. They were all too busy.
 '.Know anybody I could get-I need a man awful bad?" the farm CT pleaded. Et
 The five men shook their heads. Pretty soon the countryman turned and walked out of the store. When we were by ourselves again, the elder man said slowly, Think he'd know we couldn't take job. Why, they'd take us off the rolls right

had much real benefit from the As. If we're going to have tax it should include cattle and sheep. Course the big problem is just what Henry Wallace says; whether we're going to pull down the tariff barriers and trade with other nations or live within ourselves. If nations are go- ing to act like they're doing now, we'll have to keep on curtailing our crops or prices will drop to the cellar again."
 His brother held a different view. Wed have been in an awful fix without the As. We've got to keep 1t. It's the only way a farm- CT will ever get break. ,. Sure the farmers are going to vote for Roosevelt. And you've got to re- member that 1t wasn't the demo- crats who elected him before but the republicans. We'll do 1t again. too"
 Across the river in a little In- diana town of a thousand talked long and earnestly with a shrewd and wise elevator man. "It's greed that's still dominating all of us.'' he said slowly. .As long as that is true we're going to continue to behave more like jungle beast than human beings. One-third of the families in our town are on relief one way or another. Why, there's farmers near here who drive into town, park their cars out of sight, and then go in and get load of relief groceries and pack them out. .. I don't see any chance of beat ing Roosevelt unless something un- forseen comes up-and it'll have to be mighty big"

THREATENED with excommuni. \ cation from the Church, and banned from the Holy Roman Elm pire by the Edict of Worms. for his daring assault on the authority of the Pope and the selling of in. dulgences, Martin Luther found refuge in one of Frederick of Sax. ony's castles at Wartburg.
 Hidden in this stronghold, the great founder of Lutheranism, in 1521, translated the New Testament from the Greek, and wrote some of his most famous treatises. It was from here that he later went out into the country and began or. ganizing his new church.
 Travellers down the Rhine do not fail to visit the famous castle of Wartburg. For stamp collectors 1t may be found on the 5000 mark value of 1923. and on the 4rpf. of fQ20

Back in Illinois I spent a day with a county farm agent. We drove out over the beautiful black dlewest the premier corn land of all the world.
 ''when city people talk about farmers giving up their tractors they might as we'll talk about other folks giving up their mo- tors" he said. "Of course, power machinery coming to the farms has been the cause of a good deal of the unemployment in the small towns. Men who used to work crop seasons on the land as hired men are haviEk their jobs taken by more and more efficient ma chinery. It does almost as much harm to the country as to indus try. But what are We going to do about it?"
 Then he added: "one thing more; if the farmers don't get to- gether and really control both their buying and selling they'll binations so all-powerful that they'll be reduced to the status of European peasants. The only hope for the farmers is to build their own tight organizations with both economic and political power"
 But you don't worry so much about the farmers these days. They're the first to come out of the depression. They have high prices and, except for certain areas in the dust lands and drouth spots in the southwest, they're riding high, wade and handsome. And they had it coming to them.

So it was we fell to talking over the troubles of America. A lean young man with snapping black eyes brought down his chair with a bang. "Its machinery that's killin' everything" he said. There's millions of people never will be able to find work again. The machine has replaced them for good"
 The others nodded, and in a moment the young man on relief went on. Yeah, and these tariff wars are helping to keep things in a mess. But there ain't nothing
