4 COLLEGE, ON WHEELS.
Farm Train InStrWcting in AgricuIt-
uraL Science.

A college on wheels has been running around
in the farming districts of New England for the
last few weeks, bringing enlightenment to hun
dreds of farmers who struggling with CROP
soil, fertilizer and cattle questions and settling
points over which they have wrestled and some
times hotly debated with their neighbOrs. After
attending this college on wheels the farmers
have gone back to their farms with renewed de-
termination to wrest something more out of the
soil and to give up their half-fOrmed determina-
ton to abandon the farm and seek work in a
department store or in any business where
decent income was not dependent whether
the winds blew from the east or the west
whether the soil sandy marshy
whether it rained or the sun shone.
Trouble is, we amt up ter the times,' was
the comment of many, as after hearing the
advice which the agricultural instructors gave
them they drove slowly home, medtating how
they would clean up the barns according to in
structions and how they would give Maria a
few points about dairying.
The agricultural colleges and experiment
stations of Vermont, New Hampshire and Mas
sachusetts, working with the Boston & Maine
Railroad, have made the plan practical and
the moving college visits all parts of New
England through which the railroad passes

Better Farming Special" consists of five cars
and an engine. Each car is equipped with inter-
esting displays, and One-third of the seats Of

HOLLYWOOD RESIGNED
Result of Trouble Between Himself
 and Captain Dunn.

As a result of the quarrel which Frank Hollywood, the Brooklyn hose- man had with Captain Dunn, of No 8 house. Hollywood to-day resigned his position thus causing vacancy in the department. About seven weeks ago Captain Dunn preferred charges when Hollywood went on his vaca- ton without notifying the Captain according to Dunn, while Hollywood claimed that he not only asked for his vacation but also paid Dunn $10 for swapping vacations with him. Dunn at the time claimed that he borrowed the ten spot but Hollywood always asserted that the money was given Dunn.
 At any rate trouble has been brew ing between the two since that time and Hollywood petitioned the board of safety for transfer but the con- missioners did not move him conse- Quently he decided to retire.
 The trial in which Hollywood was found guilty, but had sentence sus- pended, created much talk round town. Hollywood and his friends al- ways claimed that since sentence was suspended, 1t showed that the board did not believe the accused guilty of anything to call for a punishment and simply found him guilty to up- hold the captain who preferred the charges.

 Boss Growler William H. Teller was voted the handsomest growler, and Chief Growler Thomas J. Coyle the other kind. After the voting the Growler band. Thomas Carty with his guitar, Fred Young and his man. dolin, Henry Cunningham with his beautiful tenor, struck up March Ing thro' Georgia" Mir Quigley's son, Dr Quigley and his wife assisted at the piano and there was music to please everybody.

Chairman U. c. Church of the republican town committee was
 asked who were mentioned in his
 party for the nomination for repre- sentatives and he said that he had
 heard Attorney A. P. Hayes and AL derman James H. Filling. That was all MT Church cared to say about the matter.
 While MT. Filling is comparative ly new man in the field for the nomination attorney Hayes e, has so far made no effort to get 1t, but he has been mentioned for 1t during the past month o| more, and 1t seems that he is now in a fair way to be thus distinguished. MT Hayes comes from family of politicians up the state, men who have been on the sur face in the business all their lives and what Mir Hayes himself does not know about 1t, though quite a young man yet, might be counted as super- fiuous information.
 MT Filling has intimated in few words that the nomination would not be unwelcome to him, though he de- nied that he was looking for It. MT Filling is no child in the game of pol itics. He is said to hold down the first ward for his party better than any of those who have represented it on the board of alderman for years. But there is too much corporate in- fluence back of him to make him popular candidate for repre-

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-09-24

All over the state men prominent for years in democratic circles openly denounce the convention for its lack of courage in endorsing Mir Bryan. They all say that 1t was through the skillful engineering of ex-Governor Waller, a worshipper at the gold shrine for many years, that Mir Bryan was sidetracked. and that upon him and his followers should fall the brunt of the balance for this stupid blunder.-New Haven Union.
