IS, 1882, when the index sagged to co per cent of pre-war averages. Iowa State College ct Ames com. putes these figures. They do not mean that all Iowa farmers are pros- porous or that any are getting rich. Drouth blasted one-third of the state this year. Another third, was told, had crops but poor ones. The remainder of the state garnered fairly good yields. Good prices are no comfort to a farmer with no produce.
 Significant Facts
 A slant on farmyard reaction to steadily improving agricultural prices is provided in this months report of sales tax collections for the past two fiscal years. Iowa levies two per cent. In 12 months to June 30, 1885, the state collected $11, ,287, ,082 and in the year ending last June 30, SIS, ,442, ,356. Significant in the breakdown was the report on collections on sales of farm inple- ments and machinery: $190,508 for the 1895 fiscal years; way up to $S60, ,20B for the 1886 period.
 A great buying splurge last spring accounted for much of the latter increase. The John Deere tractor plant at Waterloo revealed a stor- age yard full of tractors = hun- dreds of them. But the taxi driver reported that farmers had to order two months in advance last spring to obtain delivery and then came by truck from long distances to cart their trophies home. The Water loo plant, incidentally, was running a night shift although short time previously 1t had been on a re- stricted production schedule.
 Business On Upgrade
 I was here last autumn in the first United Press political survey pre- liminary to this campaign. was told of steadily improving trade Retail sales from June to October, 1885, were 21 per cent over the same period in 1884. I am told now that business still is on the upgrade, although the latest data to which I obtained access did not cover this summers drouth period. It is estimated that farm income will be above 1885 and aggregate about $500, ,000, 900 this year.

VETERAN PLAYER
 GUEST OF HONOR
Testimonial for Frank Fitzpatrick; Sports
 Writers Attend

A thoroughly enjoyable trip down Memory Lane" was afforded some 150 friends of Frank Fitzpat- rick, veteran Waterbury baseball player who gathered last evening at a testimonial dinner given at Phil Becher's grill on Bishop street. Sev- eral speakers, including Dan Parker, sports editor of the New York Daily Mirror, recalled for listeners many amusing incidents surrounding base ball games played at Rockville % years ago. Waterbury players of that period, among theEi,s Joe Connor, Walter AEearn and Ed Farley, Ser- geant Terry Rogers of the Bridge port police, and Police Commissioner Harry Minor of this city were also called upon for their verbal reflec- tionS of "tlle good old days" when Gillie Daly, Hatpin Harry O'Hagen and other local diamond stalwartS were "in their prime"
 Alderman Edward Fitzgerald pre- sided very ably as toastmaster and oAoO AACAOuuCC0 AOtOAACy G0WoAA Vs Mcdonald of the corporation coun- sells staff, Freddie Hall, and John A. Cluney, sports editor of The Dem ocrat, who congratulated the guest of honor and wished him well in his future undertakings, and con- tinued enjoyment of the many friendships that he has made in the north end section of the city. At the conclusion of the dinner, MT. Fitzpatrick was presented with a purse of money as taken of es- teem from his friends, the guest of honor expressing the hope that he will be fortunate enough in the fu- ture to enjoy the friendships that he has made in Waterbury for the past 35 years.

 Pool Plan Has Backers
 Certain members of the state com mission frequently have expressed their preference for the pool plan.
 Members of the commission are:
 State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone, Welfare Commissioner Frederic c. Walcott, Miss Eleanor H. Little, Rep. Noah Swayne, Henry s. Beers, chairman, Nelson W. Pick ering and Thomas J. Shea, presi- dent of the Connecticut Federation of Labor.

 He refused to discuss contents oi the document.

eight electors probably will be authorized to meet in December, tn- stead of January, so as to complete the polling of the electoral college before the inauguration.
 UnemplOy ment Insurance
 The unemployment insurance program, which must be adopted before January 1 if the state Is to enjoy federal allotments during 1897, has been studied by a special governors commission for months and was believed ready for imme- diate presentation and study by the chief executive.
 The governors proclamation
 "A two-fold emergency confronts the state of Connecticut. In the first place, section $50 of the gen. eral statutes, revision of 1s3o,, no longer conforms with the federal legislation passed as a result or the ratification of the 20th amendment to the constitution of the United States. In order that there may be no doubt whatsoever as to the validity of the electoral vote of Connecticut, 1t seems advisable to amend the statute which relates to the time for the meeting ot presi- dential electors.
 Social Security Act
 "In the second place, the federal social security act, in providing for unemployment compensation, levies a payroll tax against certain enl- ployers with the provision that, if a state establishes an approved un- employment compensation plan, the employers in that state may de- duct, within certain limitations, the contributions which they are required to pay to the state unem- ployment benefit fund from the payroll taxes due the federal treas ury. Since this deduction can ap- ply to the tax on 1886 payrolls only if state legislation is enacted before January 1, 1887, this is obvi- ously a matter which deserves careful and immediate attention in

 The Most Rev. Francis J. Spell man, auxiliary bishop of Boston and the visiting cardinals host, said the papal representative had no ap- pointment to receive Father Cough lin during his brief stay here.
 To Visit Cardinal
 Cardinal Pacelli was scheduled tc visit Cardinal O'Connell, dean of the Catholic hierarchy in America, this morning. More than once the Boston archbishop has made known his strong disapproval of Coughlin's political activities.
 This afternoon and tonight the visiting prelate planned to devote to sightseeing. Early tomorrow after noon he is scheduled to return to New York.
 After secluding himself all day behind hotel room doors guarded by six policemen equipped with tear gas, billies and pistols, Coughlin finally granted newsmen 8 40-min- ute interview last night.
 Talks of Fracas
 He referred only briefly to his alteration with John Barry, Boston Globe political reporter at Provi- dence, R. T., the previous night him as saying he was remaining in Commenting on a report that quoted Boston to "get" Barry, Coughliri said:

 "Has the matter been satisfactor- ily adjusted" he was asked.

 Two Insurance Plans
 The legislature will have to de- eide between two major types of unemployment insurance plans the pool plan and the plant re- serve plan.
 The pool plan Is believed to be favored by the special unemploy- ment insurance commission named by Gov. Cross early this year.
 It calls for the dumping of all unemployment insurance money in- to 8 single fund, to be used by the entire state when needed.

(Unlted Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 Aboard LAndon campaign train, in Michigan, Oct. 14.-(UP)-The warm endorsement of Henry Ford sped Gov. Ali M. Landon on his crucial presidential campaign through Michigan today after ma for speech at Detroit charging the New Deal with dictatorial methods.
 It was considered significant that Ford's statement, coming as the nominee campaigned through a huge and vitally important indus trial area, laid special emphasis on the position of labor in the cam paign.
 The republican nominee earlier appealed to labor at Toledo to avoid mixing in politics, saying that would create the danger of work ingmen becoming "serfs of the state" as in some foreign nations.
 Finds Race Close
 In the four states-Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Indiana-touched on this campaign swing, the presiden- tial contest has been described as extremely close with labor's vote considered, especially in Michigan, an important factor.
 At Grand Rapids, where arrival is scheduled for 7:15 p. m., the nominee will make 8 short speech at a public auditorium. On Thurs day he will complete his bid for Michigan votes and start homeward to Topeka by way of Indiana.
 In his Detroit speech, Gov. Lan- don told about 13,000 persons who dared the 40 degree temperature at Navin field, that the New Deal had taken the first steps" toward sub stitution of permanent dictatorial government for American democ- racy.
 Then, demanding protection of American initiative, energy and frugality, the nominee challenged President Roosevelt to say whether there has been a change in admin istration policy which he viewed as threatening to change "our form of government"
 Shouts His Pledge
 With the white flood lights glar- ing in his face and the cold wind whipping his hair across his fore head, Gov. Landon shouted pledge to repeal "all of the acts giving au- tocratic power to the chief execu- tive"
 He recited the loss of personal freedom and rights in nations where Relationships have been created and said: We in America cannot ignore these warnings. We must not, out of regard for any man or men, blind ourselves to the forces that are loose in the world. It Is not question of any more or men. It is ques- ton of human freedom"
 The republican nominee declared that:
 The administrations national planning had failed and that its continuation would mean coercion of the public and the press.
 The New Deal had followed the first steps of the pattern by which dictators have been lifted to power in foreign lands.
 The administration viewed the unfavorable decisions of the su- preme court on the MIRA and the AAA as mere annoying set-backs'' on the path to permanent regimen tation.
 Used to Discredit
 TNe New Deals gigantic propa- ganda machine" had been used to discredit foes of its program" and "even the supreme court did not escape"

Hanley, England (UP)-Residents of Hanley lived for days in constant danger of being blown into oblivion by gasoline explosion. The danger was caused by the accideptal dump- ing of 1000 gallons of gasoline into the sewers where the vapor mixed itself with the sewer gases and spread beneath the whole town.

tural and industrial anarchy can be prevented by re-enactment of the principles of MIRA and AAA, let him say so," Gov. Landon challenged. "Let him tell us-and tell US before election day-just what amendments to the Constitution he has in mind.
 He pointed to the automobile in- dustry as having built itself up by private initiative rather than gov- ernment planning and said that 1t was significant that lone (Henry Ford) of its most distinguished leaders never signed the code of the blue eagle"
 National economic planning" he said, violates the basic ideals of the American system. It is libel on our people.
 What built the automobile in- dustry2 The very qualities that this administration holds up to scorn- American initiative, American en- ergy and American frugality."
 The governor said that any ad- ministration that attempts to run the daily lives of its people is working on the theory that 1t is far wiser than its people. But the present administration goes beyond this. It apparently believes that with the concentration of power in Washington, came a concentration of intelligence"

The street car fig ures, sometimes taken as an index of employment, were 12.624,O24 ride CTS for the first eight months of last year compared with l6,292, ,046 for the corresponding months of 1e36.
 Catch As Catch Can
 A series of catch-as-catch can polls in Des Moines gives MT. RooSe- welt a considerable advantage over Governor Landon in this city. Polls have been taken at various meet- ings and curbstone gatherings. They are mere samples. Here is the stim- mary to date:
 Roosevelt ............ 283
 Landon ............. Z1S
 Lemke ............. Is
 There were 1T votes scattered elsewhere or undecided.
 Governor Landon has been in the state five times and probably will be here again.
 MT. Roosevelt was in Iowa on his second trip last week, cutting across corner of the state en route to the first speech of his present tour at St. Paul, Minn. Secretary of Agri- culture Henry A. Wallace was prir1- cipal contact man for the presiden- tial party and he heard a mixture of good and bad news.
 Go For New Deal
 Wallace and the president were told that the state probably would go for the New Deal this time, but by small plurality. Wallace was warned by farm leaders to line up Iowa's small business men where Landon strength is judged to be the greatest. The small Iowa Capital- ist has been much impressed by republican charges that taxes are going up and that the public debt is dangerously high. There is no doubt that extravaganza Is the best re- publican issue, here against MT. Roosevelt.

This was the first meeting of
the eternal rivals in this half.
With two straight defeats still
fresh in their minds, the Beverage

Healthers with a vengeance in the
first inning of the game yester-
day and scored three runs after
the Sanitary players had put over
two in the opening half of the
initial frame.
With this slim lead, Coca-Cola
players never faltered and when
the dust of battle had cleared
away, it was found that the final
score was to 6.
The losers made a bid for the
game in the last canto but the
rally was snapped when they had
