REpoRr or COMMISSIONERS.
Money Received for Liquor Licenses in
Fairfield County.

Money Received for Liquor Licenses in
Fairfield County.
The Fairfield county commissioners
have just completed their annual report
in relation to the issuance of licenses.
The report is very complete and reflects
credit upon the present board, says the
Bridgeport Standard. Although fewer
licenses were granted this year than
last, the gain is over thirty-fou thou
sand dollafs. Part of this Is of course
due to the increase in the license fee
from four hundred to four hundred and
fifty dollars, but about eight thousand
dollars of the increase is due to the
careful management of the commits
sioners in issuing the right licenses in
the right places.
The report in relation to the amounts
furnished to the various towns, dis
closes that there has been slight gain
to the advantage of all towns In 1895
Bridgeport received $104 1920, while
this year the amount is increased to
| $120, s11.50; Stamford received $21 100 40,
this year, s25. 1875; Norwalk, $2l, 1920,
| this year, $24 ,00650; Danbury, $18,6l620,
this year. $23, 500; Greenwich. $S,961.15
this year, S9,120; Newtown, s2,77S, this
J year, $5,17750; Huntington, $780, this
year, $2,12S; Fairfield, $1,550.40, this
year, s2,O3S.7O; Stratford, $719.50, this
year, S1,429.75; New Canaan. $54625,
this year, S1,O54.50; Darien, $685. 50, this
year, s1,007; Brookfield, $3.50, this year,
| $3.50; Bethel, -, this year, $19; West
port, $3,657.5O, this year, $11.40, for
! drugs, no licenses granted; Ridgefield,
-, this year, $3.50; Trumbull, -,
! this year, $3.50.
The total number of licenses granted
| last year in the county was 100 against
| CAT this year. The total amount re-
| ceived for the licenses last year was
| $685. 54; s9,6S7.70 was paid into the
county treasury and s1S,97l.SO went into
the treasures of the respective towns
The present report however. shows
that during the year just closed there
was S227, 1858 received for licenses. OF
this amount sill, 39S 40 was paid into the
county treasury and S216. $3.50 was paid
over to the towns This shows gain
! of about $4,000 over that of last year.

Chesterfield Hebrews Drifting Away to
New York.
A New London paper says: "The
Hebrew colony at Chesterfield has been
considerably decreased in numbers dur
ing the past winter. This is really no.
ticed by any one visiting the locality
now after an absence of year or two.
The trading instinct in these people is
too strong to let them peacefully follow
the plough
Most of those who found themselves
able TO have made their way to New
York, there to engage in street peddling
and work in sweat shops, Four years
ago, when the colony was first founded,
there was only one general store in
Chesterfield, at which the people pur-
chased their inexpensive supplies, but
while one store could not much more
than manage to live, three more have
been started to divide the meagre bust
ness"

FARMING AS A PROFESSION.
Many Things That Can he Raised For the
Stomach and the Head.
Sincerely yours,
NATHANIEL.


Prosperity and pleasure from farm
life require that you aim first to raise
your own food and sell only to cover
the balance. Begin with the idea simply
of independence and not of wealth. 1t
is the best ambition. The rich man does
not enjoy as much as the independent
man. To do this you must raise fruits
as well as what are called main crops
Fruit constitutes half or more of good
diet. My own children have never eaten
pound of meat. my horses have not.

think meat an essential to strength,
says E. p Powell in The Independent.
Fijians consider eating eyes essential to
long eyesight.) We can raise apples,
pears, plums, cherries, currants berries,
grapes, and these, with eggs, chickens,
beans and milk and vegetables, will
cover nearly all "A family needs for the

Begin in very small way 1t Is an
age of splurging and plunging, Do not
begin that way. Keep accounts and see
that one hand washes the other. Every
farm should have it's study department

geology, botany, entomology, astronomy
all at home for you. Why send the boys
off to learn something else? You think
you cannot teach them; you can learn.
Get books like Comstock's "Entomol-
ogy" and Shaler's Geology" Study
them as piece of family work, as our
fathers studied Scott's "Commenta-
ries. " Then divide your farm work so

Mexico Pays Interest in Gold

Although Mexico is on silver basis,
1t has to pay its foreign debt in gold.
The latest report Of Minister Limantour,
as quoted in the Chicago Record, by it's
special commissioner, Mr.. Curtis, show s
that the total foreign debt of Mexico,
interest and principal being payable in
gold, is Sill 100000. In his budget for
next year, Mr.. Limantour calls for an
an appropriation of $l2 ,000, 900 in silver,
that amount being necessary to obtain
the $6,000,0 900 in gold required for the
interest of the country's obligations. 1t
will thus be seen that while Mexico is on
silver basis at home, she is on gold
basis abroad. She can pay the Mexican
wage Garner in silver dollars, but the
foreign bondholder must have gold.
How much better it would be to have
the gold standard at home as we'll as
abroad, so that the dollar of the laborer
would be just as good as that of the
foreign bond holder. The best dollar
made is none too good for the man who
earns it.
