Naugatuck, Jan. 5-Victor Rivers of 600 Broadway, Chicopee Falls. Mass, was fined @10 and costs of $l3.26 today in borough court on a charge of failing to provide seats for his employees in candy and ice cream store on South Main street here.
 Charges of withholding wages and of failure to pay wages on the day of discharge were nolled when he agreed through his attorney, N. H. Eagan of New Haven, to pay back wages allegedly owed Mrs. Alice Croteau of this town.
 Prosecuting Atty James Sweeney told the court that Mrs. Croteau had signed an agreement to allow her employer to take her first two weeks wages to provide 8 $20 bond for her to cover the company in case of shortage. Atty. Eagan de- nied an assertion by the prosecution that shortages invariably occur and stated that in many cases, persons are discharged or fined without any shortage occurring.
 He admitted to the judge he and the prosecuting attorney had agreed to the fine on the matter of seats, but pointed out one chair was pro- vided in this store and at the first of the year two chairs were placed in each of the 16 stores of Rivers company in this state. There Is nla n ~Avs atn NtH tsN Hn n1Ns etts.
 Reluctantly Accepts
 Atty. Eagan in stating he "reluct- antly" accepted the agreement on the fine, pointed out that ifnnedi- ately after MT. Rivers was tried fin Rockville on no-seats charges, he was arrested by Thonpsonville po- lice, and in Thompsonville, was taken by Wallingford police. Then in Wallingford, he was arrested by Naugatuck police. The sum total of fines MT. Rivers has paid out thus far is prohibitive, Atty. Eagar1 said, and If 1t were to continue Mir. Rivers might be forced to discontinue &C., tivtties in this state, thus throwing out of employment "a considerable number" who need 1t.
 Nudge J. E. Talbot said he does not think the difiiculty lies with the coiut but suggested Atty. Eagan confer with Commissioner of Labor Tone to learn just what will be re- quired and to prevent future arrests.
 Chief of Police Adamson and Pa trolman James Fenton arrested Riv- CTS last week and the case had been continued to today.
 Instrumental Solo Contest
 The eighth annual instrumental solo contest of the grammar school music students will be held Friday evening, Jan. IS, at 8 o'clock in the high school auditorium. The fol- low ing Friday evening, Jan. p, the high school musicians will stage their solo contest at the same time and place.

The modern way to sA9sa ease a cold is this: Two

 the moment you feel .
 cold coming on. Then repeat. if necessary. according to instructions in the box.
 At the same time, if you have 6 sore throat, crush and dissolve three BAYER tablets in one-third glass of water. And gargle with this mixture twice.
 The Bayer Aspirin you take in- ternally will act to combat fever and the pains which usually ac- company colds.

SONG OF THE EARTH

The birds, being endowed above all Gods crea-
lures with the glory of song, the most audible
Instruments Of the daytime. Song pours out of
them by instinct in the spring and early summer
from dawn to dusk they bless the earth with the
joy of being and increasing. The day is interwo-
ven with their melody. Some of the bird voices,
like that of the red-eyed vireo, are so vouble that
they are absorbed into the subconsciousness; and
some like that of the grasshopper sparrow, are too
trivial 10 evoke conscious hearing; like the cat
terinp Of the chimney swift, they seem like the
common speech of the air and are not worth re-
marking. But the great singers transform the
COUNTRYSIDE into mighty choir loft. The gushing
ecstacv of the bobonk above the meadow, the
full, round enthusiasm of the orioe in the ems
and NAPLES, the cool, lonely meditation of the her
nit thrush in the depths of the woods are the
charms of life on earth in the season of green and
glowing abundance.
Ro,eatb and beyond the bird chorus, however,
there is the low-pitched sound Of the earth pre-
occupied with growing 1t is difficult to hear. The
bird SONGS break into it and overwhelm it with
volume and beauty. The breeze streaming silently
.c,oss the face deadens the ears to it. The chat
terino anxiety of the aspens and the deep breath
inc f the ancient pines are too majestic to let it
tbro,,ub mans own breathing or the pulseing
Of the blood in his temples may prevent his hear
ing il. But occasionally there is an interlude in
the bird songs or in the flutterihg of the leaves
and then the busy stir of the growing earth reaches
the earth that strains to listen. The quivering
v;nvs of countless insects absorbed in their affairs
the stretch of the ground in the MONDAY heat the
;n6ntestitnal hustle of all kinds of life fill the air
with an underhuin Of song. Perhaps some of the
sounds are the overtones of silence; perhaps the
grasses and twigs swelling up from the root and
unfolding in the sunligh tset up wave of sound
that the human ear can catch if it listens acutely
If the music of the spheres can be heard the song
of the earth ought to be equally ravishing. Day
and nisht the. countryside is softly wrapped in
sound. New York Times. ''''' .t

THE Ne w D EAL
IN WASHINGTON
by RODNEY BUTCHER.
bY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON - Republicans
w may enter Democratic pri-
marics next year to help renomi-
nate anti-New Deal Democrats,
but they will do so only as indi-
viduals.
The suggestion has been made
BY Mark Sullivan and others that
G. o. p. voters enter the oppoSi-
TONS primaries in order to assure
denomination of various Demo-
cratic senator's who have opposed
the Roosevelt program, especially
the court plan.
But the Republicans as a party
will discourage such tactics, be-
lieving that they could practically
be guaranteed to break up party
machinery. Candidates fer gov
ernor, county commissioner, Sher-
iff and other posts must also run
in the primaries and each Of these
small fry will be hollering at top
pitch for votes in his own party's
primary. To have all these mi
nor candidates find the votes they
were counting on, cast in the
Democratic primary, would create
some rather bad reactions.
You may be sure, one is told,
that nearly all Republican state
nominating conventions will be
held after the Democratic conven-
ton in the same state, just in case
a coalition seems feasible between
dissatisfied anti administrator
Democrats and the Republicans.
1t is just possible that some
anti-RooSevelt members will be
fooled by such talk and, after be-
ing defeated for Democratic NOM
ination, turn to the Republicans
for a nomination only to find that
there are too many Republicans
themselves eager for their party'S
nomination.

ARE WE HoPPERGRASSES?

AXE WE tut Il ENSNAooEO.
There was tribe of Pacific
Northwest Indians who would
feast sumptuously on salmon
while they were running and
starve during the winter because
they would not go to the trouble
of curing fish in the days when
it was plentiful against the days
when it was unobtainable. White
men turned up their noses at the
shiftlessness and fooliShness of
those Indians. "They ought to
starve," said the white men.
Reports are rife in the United
States that though we have a
bumper crop of agricultural food
the indications are that not
enough labor will be available to
harvest and preserve it.
If we, with millions of our pco-
pie out Of work and on govern
mental relief, permit our food
crops to rot in the fields, we de-
serve to starve just rs did those
shiftless, foolish Pacific North
west Indians.
1t would seem but the intelli-
gent duty of our federal govern
ment to have those physically
able of its huge army on relief
go into the fields and help save
the nations food crops.

THE PEOPLES INTEREST IN COMING
ELECTIONS ...
(By BRUCE CATION

Despite other evidence to the contrary,
the next election" campaign Is on. Ana
it is gathering momentum so fast that from
now until 1910, the electorate is going to
have to be the best read, the best Informed
and the keenest in the nations history II
the vote follows the real issues.
This is assuming, of course, that cam
paigns generally will follow the course
indicated in Pennsylvania and New York
City. Political quarrels which already
have attained robust proportions in those
places provide cues for what may be COM
ing in other localities.
Just what the issues will be is as much
a problem to the politicians as to the
voters. Maybe they will develop as nice
" as the issue in Pennsylvania, which was
handed to Mayor S. Davis Wilson on sill
yer platter when a state policeman was
arrested for tapping phone wires leading
to the home of the mayors secretary.
In reprisal for this attempt to ruin him
politically" and to meet the challenge"
from the New Deal governor, George H.
Earle, Mayor Wilson announced that he
would reverse previous decision and run
for governor. So, although the election is
about 10 months off, Mayor Wilson imme-
diately opened his campaign in the coal
area. That's how simple that was.
In New York City, the mayoralty race
is more confusing. Mayor Fiorella La
Guardia, elected in 1888 by Democrat
Republican coalition, is running again, this
time under the banners of the American
Labor Party, Socialists, Communists, and
orphaned Democrats and Republicans.
On the other side are Judge j. T. Ma
honey and Senator Royal Copeland, fight
ing for Democratic Tammany Halls sup
port. But Senator Copeland has announced
that he will enter the Republican primary.
And adding to the confusion, Al Smith, a
"Landon" Democrat, re-enters the scene
as rnaster-wielder of the strings by which
Tammany is trying to control its hayward
members.
Rather than believe that invasion of a
private telephone line-no matter whose
qualities as legitimate basis for cam
paign, people would rather have an out
and out fairy story with happier ending.
And rather than wade through slough
of synthetic issues and personal grudges,
they would much prefer to return to vot-
ing simply for the best man.
Nevertheless, when the elections roll
around, politicians will expect people to
knuckle down unquestionably again and
pull the right levers or mark the X in the
proper places.
The campaign is, on. The politicians
know it and are making the most of it.
And if the people expect to do better than
second best in the results they will have to
get organized too---starting now.
