 EDITOR OF THE DEMOCRAT, If the British government ever establishes Q branch for the sup. pression of fools in wartime, one of its first duties probably will be to sulelch the smart Alecks who snarl at Americas attitude toward the war.
 Tn the last World War, Ameri- cans in England were constantly asked: "When is America coming in?"
 And after America did come in, one of the choicest anecdotes con- cerned the American doughboy, who ordered a glass of beer. He tasted the stuff, put down his glass and said to the British bar maid:
 Say, Miss, this beer is fiat."
 "Of course 1t is," the beer sllnger is supposed brightly to have replied "Of course 1t is. It has been waiting for you for three years"
 once more Americans are be- ing asked when their country is coming in. Nobody in the gov. ernment ever asks the question. Nobody of any authority or intel- ligence ever asks It. NEW JOKES
 NO BETTER
 But the cheap wise-craekers are at work. By and by the usual crop of yarns with America as the butt will be in circulation. The cutest one IT to date Is the wheeze that the next war will be fought by the two yellow races-the Japanese and the Americans.
 This nice piece of diplomacy

Apportioning Change
By Democrats Likely
To Await Census
Delegate Bonus PIons
To Strengthen South in
Conventions Studied
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. July 1.-THE current
population census and its inevitable
effect on future membership of the
House of Representatives cropped
up today as a possible deterrent to
any tinkering by the Democratic
Convention with its existing dele
gate apportioning system
This was indicated by party off,
cials as five-man Subcimmitte of
the national committee gathered to
consider a delegate-bonus plan for
future conventions, beginning with
the one in 1914.
The number of delegates from
each State is based on congressional
membership. Since the census fig
ureS, to be reported to Congress next
January, will result in some gains
and losses in the number of Repre-
sentatives many States will have in
l943, party members said it probably
would be better to defer adoption
of new delegate allotment until the
1914 convention.
1t was considered likely by some
committeeman that postponement
would be recommended to the full
national committee and by the lat
ter to the convention itself.
The subcommittee headed by
Senator Green of Rhode Island, was
called to consider a new plan to
compensate the Southern States
for their loss of the balance of power
in selecting presidential nominees
through abolition of the two-thirds
rule by the 1886 convention.
Under this rule, two-thirdS of the
convention votes were needed to
choose a candidate. Now only
majority is required.
Several bonus plans were before
the subcommittee for consideration.
One, advanced by an Alabama
group, would change the present
system Of allotting two delegates for
each Senator -four at large) and
two for each Representative by:
l. Granting bonus of three addi-
tIonal delegates at large to each
State casting majority for the
Democratic ticket in the preceding
presidential election.
2. Giving one delegate to each
congressional district and one addi-
tlonal only if a district elected a
Democratic member of the House or
cast at least $4,000 votes for the
Democratic candidate.
Advocates of this plan asserted it
would help Southern districts that
Evening star., 1940-07-11

elect Democratic candidates regu-
larly and penalize Northern districts
where Republicans usually are
elected unless the Democrats could
get out the vote to the tune of $4,000.
Members of the subcommittee be-
sides Senator Green were James A.
Marsh, Colorado; Representative
Folger, North Carolina; Ramsay M.
Walker, Idaho, and Louis M. Jig
gifts, Mississippi.

Many Hoppers
Here This Year

More and more reports of grass
hopper damage are coming into the
county agents office, especially from
Rock Creek and Royalton townships
where the infestation seems to be
quite heavy this year.
There is bait available in Sand
stone, as well as in the Pokegama
town hall, the Chengwatana town
hall and some in the old undergrad
at Henriette. This bait is just as good
as any freshly mixed bait would be,
but it does need the addition of water.
The bait should be mixed wet
enough so that few drops of water
can be squeezed between the fingers
when handful is squeezed. By mix
ing the bait somewhat and leaving
it stand overnight, it will be easier
to work the Jumps out, according to
Max McMillin, county agent.
