A Glorious Occasion

Comparing in national significance with those memorable days which studded the putting into execution of the draft back in the early days of American par ticipation in the World War is this one June IS when thousands of veterans all over the nation sit awaiting the ring of the postman. Think of it-communi- ties everywhere this afternoon and eve- ming are witnessing the self-same per- forYnance. Veterans sit at home to await the arrival of the letter-carrier bearing their so-called bonus bonds.
 This day witnesses the end of long and glorious fight. For years political speakers have thundered for and against the bonus. In good many cases these speakers didn't know what they were talking about. The word, bonus, was kicked around so much that 1t had little or no meaning so far as the World War Veterans were concerned. And in time opponents of the "bonus" were cble to convince most of the populace that the soldiers were getting something for nothing
 It took many long and weary months to get across the information that the ex- servicemen weren't getting what we know aS salary bonus They were receiving merely an adjustment in their service pay as related to their wages in civilian life at the time of enlistment. How many of us ever took into consideration the fact that thousands of men were snatched away from their positions with no re- compense other than to give up their life for this, their own, their native land. That's beautiful sentiment, but after it was all over, 1t certainly was necessary to make some adjustment.
 Tonight marks the end of this adjust n1ent. We call it an historic occasion. It surely is just as momentous and epoch making as that day when thousands of young Americans flocked to their regis tration halls and placed their names on the draft list. It is as epochal as that day when the first name in the draft was drawn. It is as significant as the day when the first draftees left for camp. Let June IS be red-lettered on every calendar henceforth.

An Up.and. Conner

There was really nothing left for the republican party to do after nominating Governor Ali M. Landon and Colonel Frank Knox but make John D. M. Ham, ilton of Kansas chairman of the republi- can national committee. And we don't know that better choice could have been made for the party. Certainly it could not turn to the old guard in this particular crisis that it faces. And the logical choice was the one man who had built Up the Landon political house in the past year.
 There were many notable figures at the g.op. convention men whose names have long been byword in republican circles, but no one man was greeted more heartily than this same floor manager for Governor Landon. We are going to hear considerably more of John Hamilton in the coming years, we think. Not even a defeat this fall, which we think is almost inevitable, can dim his future. He may have hard row to hoe once the Landon climb to fame has been wrecked on a presidential shoal but his row so far hasn't been free from Instructions.
 To our way of thinking there were few things at the republican convention to compare with this same MT. Hamilton. His star is obviously in it's ascendancy, Those who are anxious to go places might do well to affix themselves to 1t. We believe the only obstacle it may meet Is the dem- ocratic forces that will be arrayed and deployed for his benefit this coming fall. It should be test of his ability. He'll meet it well, but the odds this time will be too many to overcome. We look, though, for more from this man Hamilton, in the future

Land Inventory

Nations are growing self-conscious about their land, as their biggest and most durable asset. Several countries besides our own are making careful sur veys to determine soil values, drainage requirements, erosion dangers, needed forestation, and so on.
 The most picturesque undertaking of this sort is in England, where there is in course of preparation a new "Domesday Book" corresponding to the original project of William the Conqueror com plefed in the year 1086. The present work, however, is mo ve complete than Williams. It will show every acre. As the Land Utilization Survey proudly explains, the first Domesday Book filled only two vol

A Book a Day
BY BRVJCE C,ATTON


 If you like to curl up in a cozy chair and lose yourself for an eve- ming hunting treasure in the South Seas (and who doesn't?), then you have real treat in store for you in Q new kind of treasure book. They Found Gold"
 say "new" kind of treasure book because this fascinating series of yarns by A. Hyatt Verrill is based on fact. Verrill himself has hunted for more than one fabulous cache, buried on southern isles, under coral reefs,, or in the steam ing jungles of Central America, His book is Q review of the worlds famous treasure hunts, many of which are still being carried on.
 He carries you to Cocos island, to the lost temples of the rich Mayas, to treasure hunts in deep waters where q whole armada of Spanish galleons lies buried. The salvaging of the Laurentic and the Columbia is described in two ex- ceptionally interesting chapters in his book. The treasure story of the Inca Princess is equally thriIl- ing.
 And when you have finished, you can turn to the back of this book for a compilation of the unrecov- cred trcasurers in America, and a few pertinent directions for lhe w0uld-be treasure hunter. You'lI find most of tho worlds lost loot Is sttIl to he recovered; but Mir. Verrlil warns that treas lre-hunting ls a hard aild usually . hopeless task.

Curb Their Dutie,

Guilford has recognized the fact that a town may become anathema to the rest of the state throughout the seriousness or anxiety of it's enforcement officials. At recent meeting of its Board of Trade, corresponding to the Chamber of Com merce of larger communities, a reSolu- tion was passed this week urging the town officials to remove constables from all highway patrol duty within the town limits. The High Sheriffs of the county and his deputies were also urged in the resolution to cooperate with the town fin this natter.
 Whether or not any specific charges against Guilford officials could be borne out if necessary to prove them conclus- lively and definitely is beside the ques- tion of small town justice. We have no complaints personally against the man. ner in which the rules of the road are enforced in any town in this state. But from the growing evidence in dissatis- faction and actual complaints voiced by motorist against particular communities it is obvious that some of them do go out of their way to inveigle unsuspecting drivers into traps and thereupon to pro- cure speedy conviction, fines, and heavy costs
 All of which may be necessary to enforce the motor laws. There are too many highway accidents and careless ness should not be countenanced. Never theless, we do believe that too often town is done more harm by over-watch- fitness on the part of its conStableS and enforcement agents. It must have be- come obvious to the Guilford Board of Trade that such situation was rapidly forming. We do not think it's drastic recommendation to the town officials would have been forthcoming, if the con- ditions did not warrant it. Ather towns might investigate the Guilford case.

That was freak ralnstorm which struck New Haven county Friday night and Saturday morning. While there was quite bit of rain in waterbury, it was nothing compared to that which fell in the city of New Haven. Unofficial records showed eight inches of rain in six hours. That's rather phenomenal, particularly at this season of the year when pro- longed rainfalls seldom occur. We'll get heavy shower during which lot of water will soak into the ground, but noth- ing like steady inch-an-hour rain for so long time. It was just what we needed, though, and nobody, especially property owners, begrudged the rain. The ground was baked pretty hard by the sun and winds of May and June. Early crops were even starting to wither up. Now if we get few more storms about half the size of the last one all Nature will be in common.

 A. Pullets are female fowls les than one year old. Ordinarily the sex of chicks can not be determined until they are ct least seven to eight weeks old.
 c. Are trees Q safe shelter an an electrical storm?
 A. Single trees are likely to At- tract lightning and 1t is unsafe to take shelter under one. Barbed-wirQ fences, long wire clothes lines and other prominent objects which arc likely to be struck should also be avoided. Open sheds and small otits buildings away from large buildings are almost as dangerous as lone trees. Thick timber is different. To take refuge in a grove Is cofnpara- lively safe.

But once year know beyond debate What stock I come of, where 1t was my kin Found Eden, what white boughs beguiled to sin- When each old dooryard blooms behind gate Whose unseen angels halt my entering in, Whose bright swords turn me still from my estate.

WHILE Brescia is figured to give
w Louis just another opportunity to
practice face carving, the Bombers
handlers are taking no chances. They
have refused him permission to at
tend any more world series games
and are putting him through stiff
drills each afternoon at Pompton
Lakes, N. j.
Brescia, clean-cut youngster, was
amateur champion of Argentina. He
has had about IL fights since coming
here a year and a half ago and has
won all of them. All but four Of the
victories were scored by knockouts.
The South American shows promise
of developing into good puncher. but
most of his friends think he is being
badly overmatched in being sent
against Louis.
Three other tens will make up the
