with her mother when Mrs. Lemere brought in subscriptions to be count ed as votes for four-year- -olid Mar jie, or Peggy.
 Today, the CONTEST MANAGER learned that Peggy, Gas we'll con- tlnue to call hir). is going to have her tonsils out, has been not too well the past couple of weeks. Peggy is going to St. Mary's hospital to- morrow for the operation.
 Supporters Concerned
 And we know that the many hundreds of supporters of Peggy will be thinking about her when she is having those nasty tonsils out, too. The CONTEST MANAGER and the baby editor both hope that Peggy will be able to eat some ice cream very soon after the operation and that she will not have to stay at the hospital but short time be- cause we know how it it was when we were young and couldn't get out to play these summer days.
 Anthony (Tony) Borrelli, son of MT. and Mrs. Salvatore Borrelli of Cherry street, continues to lead in the CONTEST. which will close JULY l, at o'clock-that is Friday afternoon, folks-JULY 1 and not Jl-LY 3, as was announced yester- day by mistake of the baby editor.
 Tony Counts 137,00O
 Tony has 137,000 votes and Peggy has 126,000; then Randall Saunders has 44,200, for the first three places in the present standings in the CONTEST.
 But we have heard that both the supporters of Tony and those of Peggy have numbers of votes to be counted which they have yet to turn in at the office. This means we'll have the usual last-minute rush and will have to work over time again, like we did during the bonus periods of the CONTEST.
 However, there's nothing we can do about it. If the leaders and Ran dall Saunders supporters, too, want to hold out their votes until next week, that is up to them. It will just delay the final count by so much longer, you realize.
 Time To Submit Votes
 It would be good idea for those contenders who are qualified for

 The raiders returned and re- bombed the railway station, scoring four more hits and causing addi- tional damage to the power plant. Because of disrupted power lines no air raid warning was sounded when the raiders returned a third time.

STATE FARMERS
 SEEK AAA FUNDS.
Over 5000 Expected to Formally Apply for GOv-
 ernmental Aid

Connecticut farmers have less than two weeks in which to enter the 1888 AAA farm program. Friday, July 1, is the final day for a farmer to let his county agricultural con- servation committee know that he is going to take part in this years program. This can be done by filing either a work sheet or a statement of intention to participate. If a farmer does not notify his county committee by July 1, any applica- tion for payment he makes may be rejected for that reason.
 Already more than 4,000 farmers in the state have entered the 1888 program. The total enrolment is ex- pected to exceed 5000, which is the number Of farmers who took part in the program last year.
 This years program is much like that of last year, and will help farmers to bear the cost of soil- building practices, such as making new seedlings of soil-conserving crops like alfalfa and clover, or im- proving established grass in orchard and pasture with lime and fertilizer. Superphosphate is being furnished in lieu of payment to farmers who prefer to obtain it this way. The most important addition to this years program is an acreage stabil- ization plan for potatoes.
 Setting a deadline at July 1, 1888, will give farmers plenty of time to make up their minds whether they want to cooperate in the program, and will make the work of county committees simpler during the rest of the year. By knowing at that time just who is taking part, and what they plan to do, the committees hope to be able to check on each farmers conservation work and handy ap- plications for payment more speedily than in the past, and at less ex- penSe.
