While I ringing praises of their particular 'systems neither party is completely - ,if>lind to the scepticism of great masses of voters who are not hide-bound partisans. • ; Women voters will be singled out •foi attention because advances in food «osts affect family budgets and some, times influence domestic relations. „ The prediction of commissary experts for CCC camps that their rations will cost at least 10 cents more per day causes apprehensioiK If this average is extended to tnbse who do not * possess the advantage of buying in enormous quantities, it is easy to r' imagine tfce fears of the smaller purchasers. 'Official compilations of the Bureau of Labor Statistics show the general index of retail foodstuffs for mid-July exceeds that of the same period last year by nearly five per cent. And, to add to the worries of the politicians, this data does not include the "effect of the drought. Increased living costs meah new demands for higher wages and the en- Couragement of labor troubles. \ During the last few days, the farm problem has overshadowed other issues in the political sphere. Both '.Sides are endeavoring to work out an arrangement under which they may . -capitalize on the suggestion from tht» T National Grange for a system of cro;) • insurance to replace contemporary 'Agrarian policies. The agricultural • .\,#spect is set out in bold relief with the pending conference of Mid-western governors with President Roosevelt as t to drought remedies. The conference "is supposed to be non-partisan and fundamentally humanitarian. The clash of theories with sturdy facts 13 anticipated by all parties to the meeting.

On the other hand, others , tecognize the folly of attempting to play ducks and drakes with human .•misery when it is due to climatic condition.--. The foreign situation has not greatly agitated the citizenry. A few fac n , tions have been keeping tabs of the munitions export policies and our investments -in Spain. The meeting of the American Bar Association in Boston this week has warranted close attention from the political chieftains ' largely as a consequence of critical . blasts. The political barometers give liotice of nation-wide comments from the release of the Literary Digest poll on the trend of voter's opinions which is expected next month. The Old Guard among the G.O.P. are putting on heavy pressure, through campaign Contributions, for more aggressive warfare against the New Deal. They 1 Complain that the attack has been soft-pedaled too long. The liberal element, ^however, feels that the conseivatives bungled the campaign four years ago and should be placed on the side-lines at this season. The stat^- side-lines at this season. The statement from the Department of Agriculture that thirty million bushels of corn must "be imported is watched with mixed emotions to "determine the reaction of the domestic corn-growers to this invasion of their normal markets. « The indifference of the reading public to the LaFollette committee's investigation of labor spies in industry is something the, Senators want to overcome. A series pf sensational attacks via the courts has been prescribed but not entirely accepted as the grounds are too flimsy. Internal strife in labor circles will probably flare again when John Lewis, the militant leader of one group, returns from Europe next week. The speeches on Labor'Day will indicate which way the wind is blowing in the factional disputes. Strike talk will be taboo until fhe elections but it will crop out despite all gags. Federal statistics show enormous losses to workers and employers in scattered trikes during the last six months. Millions of days productivity hias been dissipated while organizers and employers harangued and threatened. The current Senatorial probe is one of many which" cost the taxpayers millions each year. The Federal Communications Commission will spend $750,000 for an inquiry into the telephone systems while the Interstate Commerce Commision has spent many more millions studying railroad valuation systems alone. Snooping comes high and seldom evolves any important corrective measures. . DISCONTINUE"W ORK AT PASSAMAQUODDY The Passamaquoddv project, which §_ year ago was one of the promising bigmoney projects of the administration, has been abandoned and work will sodn be discontinued. Because of these changes an energetic young engineer, Merritt Matthews, son of Mrs. J. Scott Matthews, of Chicago, who was employed as government engineer at the project, will probably be transferred to other fields of work in his line. Before going to Maine with his bride of a few months, Mr. Matthews was employed on the Illinois river project at LaSalle. He spent several of his earlier years in this vicinity where: his father was actively interested in the Pistaqua Heights golf course. The Passamaquoddy Bay project in Maine was a $36,000,000 project for harnessing the tides of the Bay approved by President Roosevelt. about a year ago. But funds have already been exhausted and as there are no more available, the huge undertaking will probably never be finished. It seemed that the age-old dream of obtaining electricity from the ocean tides was about to become a reality as generators with a capacity of 200,000 horsepower were installed to spin in the world's highest tide to furnish electricity for homes, farms and factories, tapping the vast power, of the sea. According to records of experts the height of the tide varies at. different points. At Boston Harbor the tide reaches ten feet and less, than 100 miles to the south it is only about one foot, while 200Tniles north, at the Bay of Fundy. it is fifty feet, the greatest height known. The man responsible for the plan to harness the tide is Dexter P. Cooper, a civilian hydroelectric engineer. Though Cooper's plan was the first to be tried on a large scale, other plans similar to this have been tested With experimental plants.
