Farm Program
After Completion Checkers Will Be
Given Instruction For 1888
Setup

Farmers of the county cooperat-
ing in the soils conservation pro-
gram for 1887 are being checked
for performance for the second
time. On Tuesday, October 18th,
the school Of instruction for this
second check Of performance was
conducted in st. Cloud at the Court
House with e. J. Falvey, of the ex-
tension service at University Farm,
handling the instruction material.
Thirty-eight farm reporters at
tended the meeting and immediate
ly started this second check of per-
Torrance on the various farms CO.
operating. Their job will take them
a number of days since 1926 farms
are cooperating on the program
this year. Following this piece of
work the same men will be called
together for instruction to make
the soils survey on all farms in the
county in connection with the 1888
program.
The general aims or goals of the
1888 program will be similar to that
carried out this year but the plan
of payment will very somewhat.
Soil depicting limits and soil con-
serving goals will be set up for
each and every farm that comes in
on the program. A maximum pay
ment schedule will be set up and
from this maximum deductions will
be made for what acreage the in
dividual farm may have planted
over the soil depicting limit and
what that farm is short of in the
soil conserving goal.

Prosperous East Under Fast
Public Program, Is IMPRESSION

ton of Independence sat were his
torically significant points they Wis
tied.
In Washington they were aided
with their tour Of the public build
ings by John Boobar, former resi-
dent of this city and four fourteen
years librarian in the National
Capitol. There the party viewed
the Capitol, the Supreme Court
building, but the outstanding event
was when Mr.. Cooper eased into
the chair held by Vice President
John Garner in the Senate Cham
bers. Their visit to the White
House was rewarded with view
of the President when he and a
party were leaving for funeral SER
vices for Mrs. Hopkins, wife of the
Relief Administrator. They saw the
lineup of the Supreme Court Just
ices and the seat new Justice Hugo
Black would occupy. Commented
Mr.. Cooper, too, that the Supreme
Court building was one of the most
beautiful in Washington.
300 miles was the course Of their
trip. Enroute they passed through
Chicago, Cleveland to Pittsburgh.
Reports of snow storms in Canada
frustrated plans to return via the
Canadian route. Cutting south to
Ann Arbor, Michigan, they arrived
there on the night preceding the
Minnesota-Michigan football game.
They weren't all so sure Of victory
in Michigan, said Mr.. Cooper.
Throughout the whole 300 miles
and weaving in and out of the
New York traffic there was no
mishap. Only blight on the whole
trip was in Ann Arbor when a car
smashed into the rear of their car
with only minor damage. One
punctured tire was the roster of
their road trouble.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper made the
trip with their son-in-law and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. H. T. Ny
berg, of Minneapolis, and returned
to this city late last week.

Work On Third Street
Vas Completed Friday
Will Commence Work On Disposal
Plant Under WPA October
25th

Work on the widening of Third
Street, the repair of curbs and
sidewalks and the change of street
lighting was completed Friday.
This project was done under the
WPA program, and was completed
in 40 working hours.
Eighteen men were employed on
the project and their work was
done excellently and in good time,
and as one man said the public
cannot say they leaned on their
shovels on that job. This work
was done under the direction of AL
Salmond.
Third Street, now eight feet wild
er than formerly, presents a fine
appearance and is a thoroughfare
on which motorists may drive safe
ly. Members Of the City Council, the
Community Club and the merch-
ants of Third Street deserve COM
mendation on their initiative in Sc
curing the cooperation which made
this project possible.
The estimated cost for the City
of Sank Centre was $2551.7O, and
this was supplemented by Federal
funds in the amount of $4O76.40
The correct cost has not yet been
ascertained.
Another WPA project, under
sponsorship of the City Of Sank
Centre, will. be commenced on Oct
ober 25th, at the disposal plant.
About twenty men will be employed
on this project, which also will be
under the direction of AL Salmond
The work at the disposal plant
will include the laying Of new tile
and the moving of a bank of dirt
to fill the bay. It will improve the
plant and grounds.

Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper Made
300 Mile Trip Thru
Eastern United States

A prosperous East, booming
along under the unstemmed flow
of government funds in vast pro-
gram of public works, was the i'm
preston gained by j. f. Cooper,
recently returned from a several
weeks tour of eastern cities. I'm
paralleled with the public works
program in the midwest is this vast
building campaign being conducted
in the east, he said, and it is con-
tributing to the commercial pros
perity of the eastern centers.
The great flow of traffic in New
York City was impressive to Mr..
Coorer, whose visit there was the
first in thirty years. At one time
on Broadway the mounted police
men were called to unsnarl the
traffic when congestion forced
everything to stand still. In New
York, he said, it's travel fast as he
compared the regulations with
those here. Across the Hudson his
party went in three different
modes. Underneath with the traffic
through Holland tunnel; over the
river on the bridge; and by water
with the ferry. Mounting to the
72nd story of the Radio City tow
er, the last two they clambered up
by stairs, they witnessed New
York at night by moonlight. 1.-THE
immensely of the City is stunning,
he said.
Historically the trip was a great
revelation to Mr.. Cooper. Now he
said he can read history of the
east with a vivid picture in his
mind of the location of these i'm
portant points. The battlefield of
Gettysburg, the Independence Hall
in Philadelphia, the ancient points
in Boston, and even the chairs
where the signers Of the Declare

Soldering to Wall Street sentiment
was strike and flood news, with both
factors tending to keep many traders

topics, Youth" Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt yesterday counseled 400
women members Of the Political Study
Club to face the fact we are living
in a very rapidly changing world
where new PHILOSOPHERS of living and
changes in the course OF living are
being developed" and to provide their
children with stimuli to imagination
and initiative.
''The modern world requires Of the
individual great elasticity, openness
Of mind and ability to adjust" Mrs.
Roosevelt said, adding that ION the
whole" objective type Of education in
the schools does not provide the indi-
vidual attention to students which may
bring out their particular aptitudes or
Imagination.
Many young people who have COM
pleted their formal education, she said,
still are at loss to know in what
fields or in what manner to apply their
knowledge. She asked that parents,
through their larger experience, make
an increased effort to help youth in its
orientation to the world of business.

CENTRAL LIBRARY
PLANS STRESSED
Dr.. BoWerman to Seek Curb
on Branches for Enlarge
ment PROGRAM.

A policy of hating future construc-
ton of branch libraries until the
central library can be enlarged or a
new one built, was announced last
night by DR.. George H. Bowerman,
District librarian.
Speaking before a joint meeting of
the Chevy Chase Citizens Associa-
ton and the Women's Club of Chevy
Chase, DR.. BoWerman declared: Il
am recommending to our trustees that
we stop building branch libraries
until the central agency can be en-
larged."
He cited figures to show a ire
mendous increase in book circulation
in the past few years, but added that
the circulation ought to be twice what
1t is, because We can reach only half
the population here" Demands are
being received from all sections of
the city for branches, he said, but
even had they the money to build
them they could not be adequately
administered because of the crowded
conditions in the central agency. He
has asked Congress for funds to start
construction of a new main library,
and also for an increase in his staff.
"Although we do have a high-grade
stall, the increase in circulation has
not been matched by a comparable
increase in staff he stated
Criticizes Federation Stand,
DR.. BoWerman criticized the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations for the
recent action it took in opposing a
new main library but asking for
branches. THE Commissioners ask me
to testify, congressional committees
hear my side, yet our own federation
takes this important action without
giving me or member of the library
force a chance to be heard
Following DR.. BoWermans speech,
Norman j. Nelson, principal of Wood
row Wilson High School, stated that
an increasing number of school chill
dren are using library books, and that
branch libraries are needed to supply
many types of books which the school
libraries cannot afford to keep.
The proposed one-cent increase in
gasoline tax and weight tax on auto
mobiles was defended by Commissioner
Melvin c. Hazen in another speech
last night as necessary measures to
help make up the expected S6,000.-
900 deficit in the 1888 District budget.
Even should both these taxes be
imposed, the cost to District motorists
would be less than the average for
the rest of the country, he declared
The cost of operating the District
has been cut to the bone, he said.
The Commissioners cut S10,000,000
from the estimates submitted by de-
partment heads, and these estimates
were cut further by the Budget Bureau
and congressional committees. He
declared that he opposed and would
continue to oppose any increase in
real estate taxes, but that he would
fight for a larger Federal share in
District costs.
The Governments fund of s5,OOO.-
900 is way below what it should be-"
he said If it paid only real estate
tax on its property here we would have
no deficit today"
DR.. BoWerman's request for a new
central library was supported in a
resolution passed by the association,
but it also asked for the construction
Of full-time branch library in Chevy
Chase. In another resolution the
proposed daylight saving time for the
District was opposed.
