CIRCULATION Week Ending August 28th, 1920 10,941 NO CORRUPTION, SBAYS CUMMING Among those who have appeared be fore the congressional committee inves- tigating political campaign contribu- tions, is Homer 8. Cummings of Connec- tieut, former chairman of the demo- eratic natienal committee, and it is in- teresting to note, following the un- proved statements made by Governor Cox about the fund being raised by the republicans for the present campaign, what he has to say regarding such mat- ters. Mr. not Cummings declared that know of any manifestly syms that have been collected, or any other than those testified to by Chair- man Hays of the republican committee and he did not believe that the raising of such a sum would indieate any cor- rupt purposes. He believed that the ad- dition of .another million would be al| higher limit than he would fix but he he did excessive wdmitted that the democrats had spent $2,300.000 in the last campaign Which was over and above the amounts ex- pended by state committe and he agresd that state committees had raised other fungds for their own use. Asked as to whether he agreed that with Mr. Hays that his fund does not in- | dicate any corruption, he replied that he| could find no evidence of corruption in the republican plan for raising campaign funds” and added that his own organi- zation was attempting to raise funds by the same method used by the republi- cans. Thus it becomes quite evident that Governor Cox hasn't convinced the for-| mer chairman of the democratic nation- al committee that the statements he has |° true.

Southeastern Connecticut appeared to escape much of the fury of the storm but the losses that were sustained through the central and nartieastern part of the state were the largest of the season. The combination of wind, hail and lightning boits work- ed perfectly for destructive effect many have seen life taken, erops damaged and other property destroyed almost in & twinkling. Whether the es- t'mates as to the loss sustained approach anywhere near accuracy it is evident that it was a decidedly bad storm for Connecticut and it is just as likely that early estimates will have to be raised as it is they will need paring if any- A D What and badly where near approximate figures for the total damage is ever obtained While electrical storms with heavy rainfall always mean damage or expense of some kind this came at a time when it proved unusually destructive for the tobaceo plants. In the morning the to- bacco fields of the state were in espec- 1ally fine candition. The crop promised to be large and the harvest would prob- ably have been nearly over in tha next fortnight. As the result of the starm heavy losses have been sustained on that and other crops and it is a question whather insurance will come anywhere near replacing the loss. \ But it was not a storm sent espeelally to discourage tobacco growing in Con- mecticut for, it worked impartially in the area where it spent its force. Other orops, especially corn, show the effects, while everhead communication limes and buildings suffered extensively. It is one of the cases however, where there is nothing else to do but grin and bear it No way has been discovered to modify or guide the elements and there seems to be no prospect of it. Human effort In that direction would simply make matters mueh worse. Connectient has reason to be thankful, however, that it sscapes the mueh more destructive storms experienced too often in ather ssotions of the country. A NEW OUTLET. Bverything peints to the faet that wiaile ther, appears to be conmsiderable eppesition to the project of developing the St Lawrence river sa that it can take care of the trade from the middle west the Idea has by no means been given up, and it is evident that there is strong support being given it from seo- tiens of the country which sea where they are going to be benefited thereby. By the idea of putting millions into weh & preject and making the river navigable by large ships so that sailings seuld be made from and to the lake ports it ean e appreciated that it is eer- tain te mean 2 great relief to transpor- tatien sherteomings which at present cause all kinds of congestion beeause of the mability to exceed the eapacity of railroad lines and terminals.

It is to be appreciated, as General opposing Governor 3 that has been In spite of the business through NORWICH BULLETIN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1920 the breaking away difficult. Neverthe- less it is not reasonable to suppose that when other sections of the country are experiencing handicaps as the result of such conditions that they are not going to pay semious attention to meritorious propositions for overcoming them. The St. Lawrence river development plan makes a strong appeal to a large section of the country. Thus far there have not been raised objections which are sufficient to overcome the good points in ‘the opinfon of those who are going ta be benefited. It means the rajsing and spending of a large sum of money, but with no other prospect of an equivalent relief it is natural that ap- proval and help should be given the idea. WRANGEL'S POSITION. | That the reported success of the bol- shevik forces over those led by General Wrangel in southern Russia is suffi- cient grounds on which to denounce the recognition that was extended to government by France can hardly be maintained. ~Just how serious the re- verse is does not as yet appear. It is true that it comes at a time when Gen- eral Wrangel has been making some im- portant advances and when his new gov- ernment is bound to undergo severe test,’ but there is nothing as yet to show that the anti-boshevik leader will not be able to retrieve his los: At least there does not appear to be anything in Weygand, Who has been giving the Poies the bemefit of his military knowledge, says, that the soviet government of Rus. sia is still possessed of a large number of men and plenty of fighting spirit, all of which makes it possible to on extensive operations provided it is possi- | ble to get and transport the mecessary | amount of supplies. .

No ' wthe democrats are being coun- tered by a claim that they are laying as- sessments on federal employes against the law to get their funds. Probably news to Candidate Cox. MEDITATIONS - OF BRUNO Sunday night—this is always a’ dis- tracting day—a regular forest of shiny black shoes tramping around our living, room floor and Marianne far too busy to pay the usual attention to me. I wonder if human being’ever stop to r:; lize that we dogs judge them from th feet up instead of from their head down? I particularly dislike one pair of shoes that .comes here. They are extremely pointed, for one thing, and the shinv silk ankles above them attract hor- ribly. Some day I fear I shall have to bite: them—not a for fun bite like the <ind I give Marianne on her arm, but a real nip, Because the points kicked me once and I didn't deserve . -1 was just nosing around the big chair to find Marianue's hand and edged back of the shoes. ‘When I yelped he begged pardon in i terriply concerned voice and got away with ' it, too. I glared and growled deep, in my throat' all evening and he told her I was too dangerous a beast for her to have about. He says airdales must have been absent-mindedly creat- ed, because all curves were left out of them. I never miss my curves. The only time Marianne forgets to rub my head when I put it under her hand is when she reads letters. She forgets letters every day. Tuesday—*“You should be ashamed of yourself I” is what the lady, who is Mari- anne’s mother, said when Martanne threw the bunch of roses on the floor after opening the box. I did not like them, either, because they pricked my nose when I sniffed them. The lady who is her mother also said he had go much money it would sink a ship and Mari- nne said she wished it would and that was on the ship—and her mother left the room and Marianne cried hard and got out those letters again. They seemed to fmake her uite cheerful. Pointed Toes came in the evening and Marianne thanked him for the lovely roses and I grinned some more beeause I knew where they were—in the fireplace in her room. I find I can make him orribly nervous just by lying dewn in front of him with my nose on my paws nd staring at him without winking. He makes me think of a chop that has not heen cooked quite emough. When I do Dbite his ankle I shall attack from the back where it hurts worse. Wedn: —I was out in front this fternoon when Pointed Toes drove up in of his cars, and though I didn't do a e thing but stand and look at him itched at me with his cane.

Make him get out.” Marianne looked at me and I looked steadily at her and then &she gave me one of her adorable smiles. She had seemed pale and cross when she came down the steps, but now she dimpi- ed. She said Bruno would be heartbroken if she left him behind and he always went when she did—and I kept poking my cold nose over Pointed Toes' should~ er all the way and I hit his neck when- ever I cogld. Mostly I did it when he would bend his head down over Marianne and she would turn away. When I bite it is going te be ope of those slow, drawn-out kind of bites. Friday—When the telegram eame it seemed to make the lady. who is Mari- anne’s mother terribly excited. Marianne ran out of the ropm into her own, where she spent a frightfully long while dress- ing. She tried on four dresses before she found one to satisfy her. She pow- dered her nose three times and ran to the ‘window every few minutes. Alto- gether I got so excited I ran around over things and barked and when I did she hugged me and said that I knew he was coming, too, didn't I The bell rang and I raced after her to get to the door and everybody seemed 80 glad that I barked and danced, too, and in the excitement when the door shut I was left on the outside. I sat there en the top step panting and think- ing about the very tall straight youms man we had pust let in. He had given me & pat and a thump on my head in the way we dogs like and called me & goed old scout. I liked him so hard that I mever noticed his ankles! Marianne had clung to his arm as they disappeared, and ] knew she must like him too. Just then Pointed Toes drew up in his car and when he started up the walk scmething told me that here was my chance, I growled and he stopped. Ev- ery time he moved I showed my teeth ani then I began to edge toward his ankles. That made -him dance in a queer way, 80 I kept growling and walking aroynd him for a long time. Lots of people stopped outside to watch us. fter a while I felt a spot unguarded and he made a dash for his car. So I went around to the side porch window and barked as 1 de when I waunt to get in. I could see Marlande a tinctly—and do you know, for the first time in my life she paid absolutely no attention to my howl! She just kept looking happily at the tall man!—Ex- change. Wary 01d Birds.

The farm houses in northen New Hampshire are usually huilt with two to three back rooms which ave used to keep food and milk in summer, but are 100 cold for winter use. One day early in the wiater, Mrs. Emerson heard a strange little bark- ing sound in her back buttery, as a room of this sort is called. She opened the door quickly and was just in time to see a slim, white animal with beady black eyes flash under the open space A beneath the big cupboard. ination and Diarrhoed. “Well, 1 declare,” she said aloud, Gonsm:;'monismzss N “If a weasel hasn't come into the house. ] and Fever: H I must try .and get him to stay, that he will frighten away the rats.
