It is Labor Day, and one of the

No program of a public nature

As the national income has been swelled

be placed on .conservation and soil-
building work on individual farms,
Luther F. Woodbridge, secretary
of the Cook? county AAA commit-
tee, said this week.
Soil - building allowance rates,
which will be the basis for deter-
mining maximum payments farm-
ers may earn, have been announced
through the Dept. of Agricul-
ture. The rates will be substan-
tially the same as in 1941.
Under the 1942 farm program,
farmers may receive two kinds of
payments,, with the rates for com-
pliance and special crop allotments
to be announced later. The two
types of payments are: (1) a pay-
ment for carrying out approved
soil-building practices, and (2) a
payment for planting within spe-
cial crop allotments such as wheat,
cotton, rice, and peanuts.
As in former years, conserva-
tion payments to be made under
the 1942 farm program are contin-
gent on the annual appropriation
authorized by congress, the AAA
official said.
Special Crop Allotments
Instead of a total soil-depleting
allotment for the farm, there may
be substituted special crop allot-
ments covering certain feed grains
in surplus areas, he said, adding
that the state committee has not
yet decided whether this would
be necessary in Texas. Feed grains
include oats, barley, rye, grain
sorghums and corn.
Allotments will not be set up for
commercial vegetables this year,
he added.
A soil-building allowance is es-
tablished for each farm on the
basis of such factors as the farm’s
cropland, non-crop pasture land,
commercial orchards and vege-
tables, and the participating farm-
er may earn his farm’s allowance
by carrying out approved prac-
j tices.
Under the 1942 program, a farm-
er’s allowance will be computed at

farm in areas where feed grain al- *
lotments are established. In 1941,
the 70-cent rate applies only to
areas generally deficient in feed,
while the 50-cent rate is available •
in surplus feed areas. The Texas
AAA committee has not yet desig-
nated areas where the different
rates of payment will apply.
Rates Are Unchanged
The rates of non-crop pasture
land will be the same as those un-
der the 1941 program, Mr. Wood-
bridge said, and will vary by areas.
Fifty cents per acre will be allowed
for restoration land. In 1941 the
soil-building allowance on restora-
tion land is 45 cents per acre, but
the additional payment of 15 cents
per acre made on this kind of land
in 1941 will not be continued in
1942.
A payment of $1.30 is allowed
for orchards. For commercial
vegetables normally grown on the
farm, the 1942 payment is $1 per
acre.
Included in the 1942 program
will be a special allowance which
farmers may earn by planting for-
est trees. This payment will be
in addition to any other allowance
which may be computed for the
farm. The $20 minimum payment

tees that all states, “great and small, vic-
tor and vanquished,” will be given access
on equal terms to the trade and raw ma-
terials of the world. That amounts to a
reversal of policy for England, which has
usually guarded her resources jealously,
and has often used high tariffs to give
Empire states preferential treatment in
English-dominated markets. This coun-
try has at times done the same thing.
Point number eight has iron in it. It
says, in effect, that until a wider and more
general system of world security is at-
tained, it will be necessary to disarm and
keep disarmed the aggressor nations. This
means, apparently, that the Allies will, in
the event of victory, act as the world’s po-
liceman, carrying a big stick with which
to at once subdue any embryo conqueror
when he lifts his head.
Some have compared the eight points
of this declaration with President Wilson’s
famous and ill-fated 14 points. There is,
however, one extremely important differ-
ence. Mr. Wilson’s program was purely
his own, and he was not able to persuade
the heads of the other allied nations to
adopt it. This new declaration has been
officially signed by Mr. Churchill as well
as Mr. Roosevelt, and so amounts to the
official policy of both England and the
United States.

turned the key in the lock. Peter-

preceded him into the room.
Another Story
In a voice monotonous with
fatigue and so low at times Peter-
son had to lean forward to hear
her, Carol retold her story almost
word for word. Only once did he
interrupt her. “London, huh? So
that accounts for the blank be-
tween the time you left Salt Lake
City and turned up here in New
York. We were working on that
now, Miss Blanton.” He nodded
curtly and she went on, occasion-
ally glancing furtively at Greeley
Morris as if she feared, J despite
Steve’s reassuring nearness, he
might rise and start toward her.
But Morris hardly moved during
the long recital ‘except to light a
fresh cigarette.
Peterson moved to the window
when Carol had finished and stood
looking down into the street, his
hands clasped behind his back.
At last he turned and, facing Mor-
ris, said abruptly, "So you knew
Miss Blanton in London.’’
“I knew Miss Gray in London.”
“When did you first know that
Carol Blanton was to appear in

names of the cast."

“Just before the show went into

Enter Greeley Morris
“ANCE 1 nearly got a job, not a
K good one, but a job,” Carol
went on. “A manager who
had seen my performance in Green
Apples and had like me. I got as
far as a week’s rehearsals. That
was all, Morris heard about it and
I was fired.
“There was nothing for me in
London then and so I came back.
I changed my name to Carol Blan-
ton again so that Morris couldn’t
find me, couldn’t spoil my chances
with the managers here if he still
wanted to. And I was afraid he
did.
“I pounded the pavements here
for months. I did get a few
chances to read for parts, but I
read so badly. And I had had no
experience. I couldn’t tell them
about Green Apples. I had to say,
’No. No experience at all.’ Then
one day I saw in the pager that
Clint Bowers was going to do
Green Apples. All of a sudden it
came to me. There was a part I
could do. Jeff, you saw what that
critic said in Manchester. And
Greeley Morris never came to
America for any of his plays'. He
would never know if the girl who

was only to be here that one night
and, if he shouldn’t see me, if he
should go on to Hollywood with-
out knowing — I had to make
Alice play that one night.
“I did it. I pretended my voice
was gone, and then, when you had
gone to the theater, Haila, then I
remembered the pictures in front
of the Colony, and I knew it
wouldn’t work. He couldn’t help
seeing that big picture of me plas-
tered there, and he would know.
It would be better if I played.
Maybe he wouldn’t say anything,
maybe I could keep him from say-
ing anything. You and Tommy
came in when I was telephoning
the theater to say that I’d be
there. You didn’t believe me, I
could see that. But I ... I couldn’t
explain.
"I wrote the note when I was
alone in my dressing room and
after it was written I didn’t know
what to do with it. I kept asking
myself if it was worth while to
plead with him or if I should just
