In it's comment on the season Just
ended, the report said
due primarily to the acreage con-
troll measures conducted last year. the
season has been very satisfactory
from the tobacco farmers standpoint,
and with adequate control measures
enforced in the future. should con-
tinue to be so. The domestic con-
sumption of flue-cured tobacco has
also increased considerably during the
past few years. In the first ten,
months of 1886, the consumption of
cigarettes reached record figure of
1913 billions. That was about Is per-
cent more than in the like period Of
1895, and 20 percent above 1884. With
increased exports of flue-cured to-
bacco abroad, the smaller crop pro-
duced, the increased consumption and
prospects of continued acreage con-
troll, the 1887 outlook for the flue-
cured tobacco grower is rather en-
couraging."

Good Evening.
JUNE BRIDAL
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Most every day brides step up the aisle, Returning they throw out a half frozen smile They are told they look lovely, beautiful sweet, In reality they're actually dead on their feet From weeks of entertaining, parties and showers, Ready to drop everything from friy frocks to flowers Days of endless fitting had become quite a pore What difference about the setting of each little gore Why did they make up such big invitation list? Why agree to decorators plans-So hard to resist? And the parties! chicken aspc and strawberry mousse The punches of rum and mixed with fruit uce Such an array of presents just more cocktail set Is enough to cause jitters, that you can bet Why oh why did they pick bridal in June? They once so looked forward to that Mendessohn tune If only they had known it would be such headache Never again so much trouble would they take Such are the thoughts June brides move up the aisle As they struggle to produce half frozen smile

Fear And Finances
 Block Cancer Cure
Neither Should Be Permitted to Imepede Treatment,
 Medical Committee Secretary Declares

Fear, lack of money and negli- gence are the three great obstacles to the cure of cancer which the State Medical Society and the State Department of Health are striving to overcome by Connecticut's can- cer program which entails the use of such weapons as statewide dis semination of information through pamphlets, newspaper articles, pulp lie lecture and radio broadcasts, and the foundation of clinics for diagnosis and treatment.
 Importance of this program Is explained by Dr. Philip G. McLel- Ian, secretary of the tumor com- mittee of the State Medical Society. in an article appearing in the cur- rent monthly bulletin of the State Department of Health. It is Of ut most importance, Dr. Mcclellan states, that the public understand certain definite facts concerning cancer, among them being that the only forms of therapy value in the treatment of cancer are surgery and irradiation with X-ray or radium. No credence should be placed in quacks who offer other forms of treatment, he declares. The state program includes care full investigation of all new forms of treatment, so that the public may rest assured that as soon as any new treatment of value is dis covered it will be available in Con- necticut.
 It is important, too, to realize that early cancer can be cured, and that the surest way of discovering early cancer or conditions that may later become cancerous is an an r1,ial or ser1i-annIlaI physical exam

 Becomes Hero in 90 Seconds
 The new hero of government clerks and other minor employees in Washington is Congressman John Coffey of Washington state.
 Seven rebel" lodges, recently suspended from the American Federation of Labor's American Federation of Government En- ployes, had mass meeting the other night and proclaimed that they would like to be afiliated with the c. I. O.-an invitation to which John L. Lewis has since announced himself receptive.
 The meeting lasted for hours and there were several long,
 winded speakers. But Coffey held
 himself down to 90 seconds flat. He said, in extreme brief, that
 federal economy shouldn't be
 taken out of the hides of loyal public servants.
 Coffey said exactly what the boys and girls wanted to hear But the reason he is being hailed as 8 champion of champions all over the town is the fact that he became the only congressman eve, heard of here who voluntarily confined himself to a speech last ing only a minute and half.
