HAPPY NEW YEAR It seems such a little while since we wished our friends happy and prosperous new. 'year as 1935 waf ushered in.: And iter will soon b dawning; another year.

What has taken place during the year Is now history. k.;k.: As we reflect on what the old yetf- brought, of pleasure and pain; of Joy . and sorrow, ofunshtoe and shadow we realise that the new yew thai, jf , . coming, like all the years that Itavrl passed, win bring ip Wiff4 tog, wlli take itotaettfa,toB. , IS nie.-,.-: .-'.J ;, : 'v-sseSf-'pfi 321..

AAA Will Protect Contract Signers A J A lA plans to base its 1936 B.a istment payments on a raw a ; . considerably Higher than five cents r pound, according to J. F. Criswell, of State College. The new cotton contracts stipulate that the minimum payments will br five cents a pound on the average production of the land withdrawn from cotton cultivation. The exact amount of the adjust ment payments next year will be de termined by. the price of cotton an amount of money available, Criswe" said, but it is safe to say the pay ments will be well above the mrn' . mum. The AAA plans to protect the con tract signers in case the price goer down next year, Criswell said, and for this reason provision is being made to . increase the adjustment payments! " , If the Bankhead act is not; con-, tihued next year, he explained, grow ers not under contract may expand their" production enough to cut the price down to a low level, possib': six or seven cents a pound. Growers with contracts will receive adjustment payments in addition tc the Income from the sale of , their cotton, and will be able to get a fair return for the'r crop, CrisweH point ed out. ... "J .' '' Those without contracts will get only' the amount for which they car sell their cotton on the market' ; If the Bankhead act is discontinued, he went on, contract signers Iwill.b ' Allowed to sell all the cotton they can raise on their allotted acreage. .

Two motor trucks, bearing specially devised motion pic ture cameras and sound apparatus, were used in a 15,000-mile exploration of wild bird haunts in the United States, made by the Cornell-American museum and recently completed. The expedi tion, which obtained valuable bird rec ords, was sponsored 4 by Albert B, Brand, associate In ornithology at Cor nell, and left Ithaca last February under the direction of Arthur A Allen. The story of the unusual quest is told In the Cornel Alumni News which characterizes the results as "undoubt edly the most complete collection of pictures and sound records of birds ever made." ' -- .' ', Such uncommon species as the ivory billed woodpecker, the limpkln, sand hill crane, wild turkey, bald eagle, golden eagle, prairie falcon, trumpeter swan and lesser) prairie chicken-were included. Many of the recordings will be transferred to phonograph records to be available to school children and nature students, the negative to be permanently preserved at the univer sity.

' . - That question Is to be decided by the Seine Civic tribunal as the con verse of a suit against a young archi tect because the man for whom he built a house tore it down eight days after K was finished. -1 . 'i ;The architect's plea is that he has a moral right to his creation which per mits him to protest against Its destrno tlon, and that he has suffered actual damage because bis . reputation will be affected. ' by the- natural , conclusion drawn that If his work was destroyed It must have contained serious faults. . The proprietor's case Is simply that after the house was built he was of fered a larger sum for the property without . encumbrance. . Therefore he. rased the house. .
