N. H. Barbers Will
 Close Wednesdays

New Haven Barbers through the efforts of Barbers Union Local 215, in conjunction with the Master Bar bers and the United Barbers, have agreed to close all day Wednesday be- ginning October 10, all year round. Local 215 feels that this move is a step towards creating work in the Barber Industry for returning veter- ans of the craft. This closing will effect all shops in New Haven, West Haven, Hamden, Westville, and Fair Haven.
 The Barbers of this area however, will observe all legal holidays and remain open on Wednesday of that week. The Connecticut law provides that Barbers shall operate their shops between the hours of 8 AM. to 7P.M. week days excluding Wednesday, and 8 AM. to 8 PM. on Saturdays.

Anti Labor Group
 Meets Quick Death

Washington LPA)-The reac- t nary anti-labor Nationalist Party,' headed by former Sen. Rob- ert R. Reynolds, collapsed last week. Disclosures that the Nationalist Party had won the support of Ger aid L. K. Smith and other union busting demagogues were credited with signing the death warrant for Reynolds scheme.
 The Nationalist Party hoped to have presidential candidate of its own in 1948. Final death of the party was indicated with the revelation that its paper, the National Record, will discontinue publication with the Oc- tober issue. Tie-ups between the Ma tionalist Party and such native Amer ican fascists as Joe McWilliams, of the Christian Front, hastened the or ganization's death.

In the late sos about one dozen
farmers in the eastern part of Hol-
mes county accepted the responsible
llty OF demonstrating the use of T.
V. A. phosphate on pastures and
legumes. All of these farmers with
the exception of four quit putting
this mineral out because they could
not see that it was doing any good.
1t was one farmers observation that
cattle grazed on the fertilized part
of the pasture SO persistently that
the grass was always shorter than
where no phosphate was used. The
farmers who dropped out as demon
strators had not observed that the
cows were grazing the fertilized
areas because of the increased pala-
liability of the grasses.
Four of these farmers have been
applying these minerals to their
pastures and legumes every year for
8 years; 2 for 6 years and 6 started
their demonstrations this year.
1t is doubtful if these farmers
realize how much influence their
demonstrations have meant, not only
to their farms but to others in their
community.
The Tennessee Valley Authority
ships triple superphosphate to the
demonstrators with no cost other
than the freight and handling charge
which usually amounts to $500 per
ton. Demonstrators are required to
use crushed limestone along with
phosphate. There is little doubt bu,
what the work done by these lead
ing farmers with the use of minerals
helped to get Holmes county start
ed fertilizing pastures several years
earlier than would have happened
ordinarily.
Soil samples were taken this year
from pastures where these minerals
had been applied 6 or more years
by s Of these demonstration and ou1
of 81 samples, only six showed suf-
ficient amounts of phosphate. Ap-
plications of this mineral was made
to these plots this year. These soil
tests reveal the fact that unless these

minerals were ployed into the soil, it
would take more than IL months for
them to penetrate deeper than one
inch. Spreading minerals on top of
the soil gives splendid results year
like 1945 with plenty of rainfall, but
on dry years, plants would be un-
able to be benefited from minerals
in the top inch of the soil where the
moisture was down 2 to inches be-
low.
Another significant fact brought
out by these soil tests was that all
OF our pasture soils used as demon
strations need heavy applications Of
potash.

LUMBER EXPORTS

According to a statement made by H.
R. NOrthup, secretary.manage of the Ma
tiOnal Retail Lumber Dealers Association
Washington, D. c., the main problems of
the building industry are first, lack of ma
terials, and, second, manpower to do the
construction jobs.
IF Congress wants to do something
to help the building industry and the re-
turning veteran to get home and to help
the construction industry" says Mr.. Nor
thup, "let Congress see to it that the export
of lumber, one of our shortest building
items, is stOpped.''
During 1916, $50 million board feet
of lumber were exported to many foreign
countries, much of it for the purpose of
maintaining export relations" This is
in addition to lumber that was exported to
our military establishments for the pur-
pose of~winning the war. Seven hundred
fifty million board feet of lumber would
have built between $4,000 and 100000
badly-needed dwelling units.
Congress should see to it that no more
lumber is exported to any country for any
purpose during the period of construction
emergency in our own country.
In letter addressed to John w Sny-
der, director of the Office of War Mobili-
cation and Reconversion, Mr.. Northup
stated that the construction industry is
taking it on the chin from agencies of the
government and from the public to some
extent, because of its inability to provide
under present conditions a large volume
of badly-needed construction. If all gov
eminent agencies concerned with export
and foreign relations will see to it that in
1916 we do not ship another $50 million
board feet of critical material to nations
outside of this country, the construction in
duStry will guarantee to the American pub
lie the production of needed construction
with every board foot of this lumber that
is channeled for domestic uses.
IF and when we have in the United
States normal lumber production and a
normal situation in relation to supply and
demand" says Mr.. Northup, then we be-
lieve consideration should again be given
to the matter of lumber of export

RISE AND FALL,

1t was something worthy of considera-
ton TO what the owner of valuable piece
of real setate on Duval street said about
the certainty of slump recurring in realty
in Key West, and, she might have added,
in all other things where there is barter
and trade.
We don't know just what the Stock
Market is doing at present but we did hear
Winchell say last Sunday night that there
had been slump in prices, though he pre-
dicted that another bull market was on its
way to send prices skyrocketing again.
incidentally, Winchell declared that
he did not own a single share of stock,
adding that he had put his money in United
States bonds and would continue to do so.
He explained that one of his reasons for
not buying stock was because he had been
informed by broker that adverse COM
ment by radio commentator would cause
stock to fall in prices, and that he did not
wish to own anything that was as suscep-
tible as that to any kind of comment.
The Citizen knows several Key West
ers who own stock, and they are in guam
Diary over whether to hold on to the stock
they have or sell it. But that is not unusual.
That same uncertainty is felt by the owner
of stock at all times, regardless of how good
business conditions are, or how bad, for
that matter. ~
: = What applies TO the Stock Market,
in the way of uncertainty, also applies to
real estate. The only safe, way to buy
stock or realkestate. is to payEin. full for it,
and if the prices fall as they most Surely
will do at some time, hold on to it, for just
as surely they viii go up again. .'..'#
Invest, don't speculate, regardless of
what your purchases may be, and don't do
either unless you are in a position to with
stand the rise and fall in values or supposed
values.

"Then why"
"She fell from: the sixteenth
story of the Janis Hotel about
seven o'clock on the night your
husband was killed. There was
nothing to identify her. The pc
culiar thing was that she had no
hat. There was none in her hotel
room and she certainly had none
on when she fell. A porter noticed
that she wore red hat when she
went out in the afternoon and
some one else saw her come in
without if. When the ad appeared
