close of Il Minnesota winter.
And they're regulating th"
speed of growth by adjustment of

slow in fostering the growth of
the corn. the student merely
pushes the table bearing the plant
closer to the neon light, and the
plants virtually begin shooting out
of the ground. ~.

 As is usual, some candidates on both tickets seemed destined today for heavier votes than some of their contemporaries. In Waterbury, par ticularly did this appear to be true with comment on the street today that there will be more cutting to- morrow than all other elections put together"
 Baldwin Marked"
 Opinion today was that the Re- publican ticket leader, Raymond E. Baldwin, seeking the governorship, would be overlooked" by labor in behalf of protest" vote for Mayor Jasper McLevy, Socialist candidate.
 On the other hand, there were reports of thousands of dollars a. valuable for bets on the Congress sional contest in the 5th district, with takers lacking from the Re- publican ranks. Cong. J. Joseph Smith was reported to have strong Republican support both in Water bury and Torrington, the important cities of the district.
 In the matter of the contest be- tween Attorney Patrick Healey Democrat, and Attorney George H Lynch, Republican, report was cur rent today that the friends of the latter had sought support from the local attorneys but that his pro- gram of cutting fees to the profes- sion found lack of enthusiasm among the barriSters.
