new FARM LEASE
FORM AVAILABLE
FSA PREPARES FORM
WITH PROVISIONS
AGAINST DISPUTES

" Copies of a new flexible farm
lease" developed by the Farm
Security administration have
been received by L. w. Fosshage,
county supervisor and are now
available for study by tenants,
landlords and rural rehabilita-
ton borrowers at his office in
the Budik building.
Verbal agreements and ques-
lions which are not discussed
when the farm is rented cause
most of the difficulties between
landlords and tenants and the
new lease covers many points
which should be included in
every rental agreement.
Landlords and tenants realize
that ordinarily longtime tenure
by the same farmer is desirable
To encourage this longer ano
more stable tenure the new lease
gives landlords the right to ter
inmate leases at the end of any
year by giving advance writer
notice. The lease is automatically
renewed if written notice is MOI
given at a specified time, accord
ing to Mr.. FoSShage.
The lease also provides thai
permanent Improvements such a.
fences, buildings or building re.
pairs and soil building practice:

consent of the landlord. Wher
this consent is given and the
tenant improves the farm, the
lease provides that he either re.
main on the farm until he ha.
secured full benefit of the i'm.
provements or is compensated fol
them in case of termination O.
the lease.
Any difficulties that may arise
between the landlord and the ten.
ant would be settled by an i'm.

those states MT. Roosevelt men, toned and praised forward look ing" candidates.
 Supreme Court Opponent
 In the primary in September Ad- ans strongest opponent will be Judge Benjamin Hilliard of the Colorado supreme court. Adams, who was an opponent of the ju- dietary reorganization bill, was the administrations floor manager for the lending spending bill.
 In speech last night at Anna rillo Tex, MT. Roosevelt named several members of the Texas con- gressional delegation as of the type he preferred in Washington. These were Reps. Maury Maverick, Mar win Jones, w. D. Mcfarland and Lyndon w. Johnson, all of whom were on board his train. Senator Tom Connally and Rep. Hatton Summers, also were on the train but were not mentioned. Connally and Summers were opponents of the supreme court reorganization bill.
 Pueblo is Adams home town. Some observers considered that im- portant since the presidents only major address in Colorado will be made there.
 Hillard Claims Honor
 Hilliard contends that he is the liberal candidate. A member of congress during the World war, he has been for many years a leader of the state Democratic organiza- ton. A month ago he was guest of President Roosevelt at the White House. The night he returned, he filed his candidacy on "New DeaP platform. His campaign managers asserted that the president, if he indicated his choice, would choose Hilliard.
 Adams was expected to join the presidents train at Trinidad, Colo. Hilliard also planned to accompany the presidential party into Pueblo, although it was not disclosed where he would board the train.
 From Colorado MT. Roosevelt will proceed to California, via Salt Lake City and ogden, Utah.

We are not thin skinned when just criticism may be aimed at us but when we are charged by ire sponsible people with something that has absolutely no foundation in fact, and which is a falsehood made out of the whole cloth, then we must take exception to such conduct.
 Our political life will bear the spotlight perhaps better than would the lives of our critics, but we throw no mud even in their direction, but when they deliberately go out of their way to publish unfounded statements we feel called upon to challenge such.
 We call upon this gentleman at this time to come forward with any proof he may have and we also challenge any other person in this city to do likewise. We will await the action with fortitude.

 Still Big Problem
 What effect this action may have on members of the Independent Democratic club, one of three fac- tions within the regularly constituted Independent Democratic party, re- mained a problem today. For the club, per its president, Roger V. Connor, and Lester V. Lonergan, in- cumbent secretary of the Indepen- dent Democratic town committee, plans meeting tonight to choose delegates for the fall primaries, according to publicized report.
 Thus, with MT. Scanlon facing litigation over remarks purported to have slandered the chairman and another member of the town con- mittee, the rift reached proportion where it seemed unlikely that the Independent Democratic club would seek to propose delegates to the regularly constituted town commit tee. This leaves the possibility that they might approach the Democra- tic town committee with a list al- though what the reaction would be to overtures from political club and not the town committee seemed to cast dubious outlook over pros poets of such quasi-delegates.

 July 12, 1888. The Editor, Waterbury Democrat, Inc, City.
 MT. Editor:-
 There appeared in your paper of July 7th, 1888, a letter purporting to be written by Walter Scanlon concerning James E. Hartley and me, which letter sets forth among other things, that MT. Hartley and I sold out to certain named mem bers of the Democratic party. We have felt the utter injustice of such a slanderous statement and have called the attention of the prosecu- ting authorities to the same.

 Roar of Cheers
 A roar of cheers went up from the big crowd here as Hughes, s3o,- 000, 900 capitalist in socialist land, started on a flight across vast Rus sia to Alaska and the United States.
 Hughes had planned at frs ito fly direct to Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, for third stage of 2,281 miles. But as he took of he said he would make for Omsk, approximately 300 miles this sne of it on the trans-Siberian rail- road
 Hughes, Richard Stoddart, radio engineer; Thomas L. Thurlow and Harry P. Mclean Connor, naviga- tors, and Edward Lund, engineer mechanic, had 9,394 miles to go to Floyd Bennett airport to complete the roun dthe world flight and bet ter Posts record.
 The weather was brilliant as the silver monoplane arrived at the great centra lairport this morning.
 Lands Smoothly
 The silver plane flashed in the sun as it came down and landed smoothly.
 Hughes stepped out first. He was greeted by Alexander c. Kirk, coun- selor and charge d'affaire of the American embassy. Then he went at once to radio microphone to broadcast a message to the United States.
 Hughes showed the strain of the flight only slightly. His face had a two-day growth of beard.
 The flyers were taken into the big banquet room, and there Mikhail Gramov, Georgi Baidukov and An drei Jumashev, who had flown from Moscow to the United States by way of the North Pole-Gramov and Jumashev to Riverside, Calif., and Baidukov to Vancouver, Wash, were among the officials waiting to greet them.

 Alexander Troyanovski, ambassa- dor to the United States, acted as interpreter.
 The flyers were all impatience to get away.
 They talked of getting away with in 20 minutes but the enthusiastic reception delayed them,

 To Open Headquarters
 Senator Lonergan said he soon would open Hartford headquarters. He conferred at New Haven with National Committeeman David E. FitzGerald, who also was being wooed by New Deal clements headed by U. s. Attorney General Homer s. Cummings. FitzGerald and Cum mings are close personal friends. Major James J. Gene" Tunney, former heavyweight boxing cham pion, accompanied Lonergan to New Haven. T can't possibly con- ceive of anyone seriously opposing the senator" Tunney said. Loner- gan apparently recognized the New Deal drive against him when he said:
 Shadow Boxing
 "There is a certain amount of shadow boxing in politics, in which candidate is sparring with oppo- nents who do not come clearly into the open. Stalking horses, as we know them, are sent in to feel out the opponent. It is often like free for all in which the candidate puts on a big show for the crowd against invisible opponents"
 Senator Lonergan was dinner guest last night at the home of former State Senator Harry Du- rant, Guilford, a Republican. Mayor John w. Murphy, New Haven, and Committeeman FitzGerald also were present.

They had arrived here after a flight of 1875 miles from Paris. and 5,316 miles from New York, at 1l:15 a. n. (4:15 a. m. EDT.)
 Gaining On Record
 As they took of, after a pause of only two hours and IS minutes, they were gaining steadily on the round the world record of seven days IS hours 40 minutes set by the late Wiley Post in 1883.
 Hughes, multi-millionaire oil man and motion picture producer, had left Le Bourget airdrome, Paris, with his four companions at SPA p. m. (EDT) Monday in their silver nlonoplane New York Worlds Fair of 193o."
 Flying over central and eastern Europe high above thick cloud banks, in constant danger if they flew too low of permitting ice to form on the plane, the aviators made the Paris-Moscow stage, sec ond of their flight, in seven hours 5l minutes.
 As they arrived they were 32 hours and 55 minutes out of Floyd Ben- nett airport, which they left at 7:20 p. m. (EDT) Sunday.
 They had halved, in their flight from New York to Paris, the time made by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh in his solo flight in 1927; when they reached Moscow they were r hours IS minutes ahead of the time Post made in 1883, flying by way of Ber- lin.
 They Are Unexcited
 Hughes and his companions were unexcited by flight that was mak- ing aviation history.
 We had fine weather and no trouble whatever" Hughes said im- mediately after his arrival. "On the first part we had bad visibility. un- til we reached Warsaw. Then it be- came clearer continually, with a strong west wind"
 It was sunshiny when the flyers reached here. But below them, as they crossed sleeping Europe this morning, danger lay at all times.
 There was a tail wind to aid the flyers, as to speed. But even when they flew at l7,300 feet they were just skimming on top of clouds that extended almost to the ground Every time the plane tried to get down through the clouds deadly film of ice began to form on it. It was raining a great part of the way.
 The big two motored Lockheed IA which Hughes flew, is a flying laboratory" with every instrument that can aid the aviator. But the elemental dangers were fully pres ent.
 Many Greet Them
 Awaiting the American round the world flyers at the great Central Airport here were Russian authori- ties and members of the American legation staff, including Stuart E. Grummon, first secretary; Charles E. Bohlen, second secretary; Morris B. Chipman, third secretary, and Major Frank B. Hayne, assistant military attache.
 a big banquet table had been laid in the administration building of the airport for the flyers and their official welcomers.
 Leaving as quickly as they did, Hughes and his companions gained another 36 minutes on Post, who re- mafned here two hours and 52 min- utes, and they were now IT hours, 51 minutes ahead of the Post record.
 They would have gained another 10 minutes bu tthat one of the silver monoplanes two motors did not function well when they taxied rousd the central airport for their tako-off. But the two motors roared In perfect key after the brief delay,

erty of William McGrath, of Euclid avenue.
 Shortly After o'clock
 Occupants of the upper floors of the building discovered the fire a few minutes after 3 o'clock, more than two hours after the restaurant had been closed for the night. Alarms were rung in from two box es. Bremen, arriving at the scene, found flames shooting out from the basement windows on Judd street, on which one side of the building faces.
 Asbestos ceiling material in the kitchen and fireproof siding on the outside of the dwelling prevented the blaze from spreading more rapidly than 1t did. However, 1t kept the smoke from escaping and the neighborhood was filled with clouds of heavy smoke, which hung low in the heavy night air.
 Hour and Half Battle
 It was more than an hour and a half before the last company of firemen left the scene, though the blaze had been under control much earlier. Valuable kitchen equipment was destroyed by the fire, while the building itself also was damaged.
 Forced to flee from the smoke filled building were the following: third floor east, Mrs. Albertine Hart, her son, Arthur, his wife, Madeline, also August Bronsard, Joseph Beaudoin, Henri Hamelin, and Mrs. Albert Trudel, who ar- rived here only Friday from Canada for a visit; second floor east, Mrs. Emma Blair; second floor west, Mrs. Adeline Fortier, and four chil- dren, Marion, 15; Theresa, II; Jeanette, 10; and Lawrence, '.
 The fire loss is covered by Elsur- ance.

HUGHES WITH HIS
 AIDES BROADCAST
(Continued from Page D

The news of the arrival completed a series of radio messages in which the flyers gave a description of their flight above central and eastern Europe.
 From the time they left Paris at SPA p. m. Monday, E.D.T, they maintained frequent radio contact with the United States until at 2:39 a. m., EDIT, today the plane ra- dioed to the Mutual Broadcasting System that it was only one hour out of Moscow with 200 miles still to go.
 Radio marine picked up at 8:48 p. m. Monday at it's Chatham, Mass, station, the message:
 Left Paris few minutes ago. Flying blind. Please advise all"
 Heard the Plane
 Then the National Broadcasting Company heard the plane as it flew over Germany.
 We are travelling at 16000 feet and our average speed is 1855 miles per hour. We are using our oxygen supply"
 This was Hughes himself speaking T am sorry for the delay" he said, but we want to conserve our oxy- gen supply as much as possible. We are using our oxygen supply very sparingly as the supply is limited. We have flown blind from the moment we left Paris. We were unable to climb at first because of the heavy load we were carrying. And since leaving Paris we have been guided entirely by our instru- ments."
 Landing Gear Uninjured
 There was some fear when Hughes took off from Paris that his planes landing gear hed been damaged.
 Hughes in Y message relayed by Columbia Broadcasting Company at 12:l5 a. m, EDIT, today while the plane was flying over Danzig, said he thought that officials who ex- pressed the fear made some mistake.
 "As far as we can see everything is o.k,," he said, but we are wor- ried about these rumors.
 We have picked up quite bit of speed and estimate that we are making about 220 miles an hour at an altitude of 13,3O0 feet.
 We are on top of a solid bank of clouds which extends right up to the plane. We have not seen the ground since leaving Paris. We went on instruments before we completed our turn after leaving the airport and have been out of sight of land ever since" for nearly four hours).
 We have been at 16,000 feet most of the way in order to stay above clouds which form ice on the plane the minute we get into them. We are now going down bit"
 Stoddart Adds More
 Richard Stoddart, the planes radio engineer, supplemented Hughes's statement with:
 We have just been going through very heavy rain and icy conditions but we have now come out into the clear and everything is ok. In fact the sun just came up. There Is nothing to worry about. The little thought that was put out about our landing gear is not serious at all In fact, 1t looks like normal con- dition which was very much en- larged upon by someone who didn't quite understand the situation, ano I think we have cleared it up now.
 This was taken to mean that those aboard the plane believed that someone unfamiliar with retractable landing gear thought there was something wrong when the landing gear was drawn into the body ot the plane as 1t left Le Bourget Field Daric
