INTERESTING LECTURE ON THE
 TELEPHONE BUSINESS.
BY HOWARD EMBLER OF THE s. N. E.
 T. co.

Despite the heavy thunder shower of Saturday night, about 50 people as- sembled at the Town hall to enjoy the lecture on 'The Telephone System," as it exists in Connecticut, delivered by Howard Embler, a. representative of the Southern New England Tele- phone Go. The views were particular ly fine, the stereopticon being man. aged by H. I. Spalding, manager of the Middletown exchange. The lee ture was well written and delivered in an excellent manner. MT Embler was introduced to the audience by John J. Northrop, master of Pootatuck Grange. Had the weather been fa- vorable, the hall would doubtless have been crowded. They made the jour- ney from Newtown to New Haven and return in the company's big auto- mobile. When they started out for New Haven on the return trip. the four gentlemen in the party donned big straw horse hats, which were tied under the chin with red ribbons. They created quite sensation at the Newtown Inn as they started off.
 After the confirmation services Bishop Tierney, preceded by St Roses Drum corps and the large pro- cession of confirmed children, marched to St Roses cemetery, where the re- mainder of the ground was coDsecrated by the Bishop. A large number were present to witness the impressive con- secration service.

HOME NEWS. ST ROSES.

IMPRESSIVE CONFIRMATION SERVICES. A large audience was present at St Roses church, Sunday afternoon, at the confirmation service when Bishop Tierney was present. After the serv- ice of confirmation Bishop Tierney ad- dressed the children in familiar way. The bishop said in substance: You begin new life to-day, dear children.
 Your parents have right to expect you to be better children from this time on. No matter how good you have been, you can be better. You can say your prayers more regularly and be more faithful in attendance upon mass. We need Gods help all the time, even while we are asleep, for it is God that sustains. You can serve God more faithfully. You are now soldiers of Jesus Christ. By be- ing regular at your prayers and not missing mass, you will please God. l must warn you against one sin, mean that of drunkenness. Nobody means to get drunk and yet there is a great deal of drunkenness The pledge hurts nobody. We do not realize the damage occasioned by drunkenness. Why, in our orphanage there are $50 children, brought there principally as the result of intemperance. Try to avoid the sin of intemperance for 1t will help you in avoiding other sins. Bishop Tierney then administered the pledge to the children, which they re- peated in concert. In conclusion the bishop said: "I thank you, dear chil- dren, and may God bless yOu."

THE BOOM IN s w CONNECTICUT.
ALLIsON P. SMITH, EDITOR VIEWPOINT
 BEE, IN NEW ENGLAND HOMESTEAD.

I can say without fear of contradic- tion that agricultural conditions are looking up in the territory served by THE BEE, covering portions of Fair field, Litchfeld and New Haven coun- ties. One thing that is helping is the steady and unmistakable drift from city to country. In many cases it is the city man of means who wishes to own farm for his family to summer on. In others it concerns men of ma ture years, who have tired of the in- tense struggle for existence in the city and look back to life on the farm to restore bealth, and give them a chance for a fair livelihood. It is my judgement that in the last two years there have been more purchases by city people of country property, small farms and village places than there had been in the previous five or six years.
 Newtown, and the territory served by THE BEE, is decidedly dairy country. In Newtown and vicinity, I think agricultural conditions have been helped by the establishment of a creamery by the Borden's Condensed Milk company. This company has also established a creamery at Lime Rock, some 50 miles up the Housa- tonic valley, and I hear another is to be built in the vicinity of Stock bridge. At the Newtown plant some 18,00O pounds of milk are received daily. Newtown, Monroe, Brookfield, Easton, Trumbull and Bedding find good mar ket for their surplus crop in Bridge port, Derby, New Haven and Danbu- ry.
 TOBACCO A SPECIALITY.
 In the towns to the north of New town, extending as far as Cornwall, to. bacco IS heavily raised. New Milford, Sherman, Bridgewater, Washington, Roxbury and Kent farmers, as rule, make this their main crop, in addition to dairying. To the young man who would take up farming as vocation, I would say, locate in New England There have been many farms picked up at prices for which the buildings could not be replaced. While there has been no boom in the values o1
 farm property locally, say that
 prices are looking up. What can bt
 accomplished on these old New Eng
 land farms is being demonstrated ove1 ] and over again by scores of Swedish

Polish and Hungarian citizens who have picked up the old farms and made them pay, too.
 The benefits of farming in this sec tion may be briefly enumerated: 1. Good local markets for the crops. 2. Excellent school facilities for the chil- dren, including in such towns as New town, New Milford and Washington frst-class high school facilities. 3. The reasonable figures at which desjr- able, improved farm properties can be picked up. 4. Good market for the m ilk output close at hand.

7, Messrs Hermon H. Peck and Fred erick l.. Northrop have completed their contract of building a road from the south end of Taunton lake, north- ward along the east shore of the lake, a distance of about 800 feet to the site of the power house. Their work has been done thoroughly and we'll, and those who have driven over it are pleased with the picturesque route. We wish there were public spirited citizens who would furnish money for building the road on to the north end of the lake, connecting with the Mt Pleasant road.

Piors Mahometans Would Not Let
Sons Wear European Garments.

Many Of the chiefs in the protecto-
rate of Gambia wish to have their
sons educated In the new Mahometan
school OF that region; but there was
bar to their full enjoyment OF the
education they were likely to receive.
says a writer in the Tailor and Cut

afraid that the wearing of modern
trousers was part of the school curric-
ulum, and therefore they viewed the
school with peculiar suspicion. The
governor OF Gambia reports that the
parents have been assured that their
children will not be covered into
''trouser men," and the prospects OF
the school are now very bright.
1t would be interesting to learn
how tits suspicion Of the modern
neither covering arose, and whether
the dry goods merchants denied the
natives their ordinary material. But
IL may be interesting to recall the fact
that the British government forbade
Hignlanders to wear the kilt for some
years after the battle of Culloden.

wars, and they were glad to raise sew
