which, although not advertised, was
furnished free of charge. Only one

Some fine specimens of Bermuda
onions were presented to the editor
today by w. E. McDavitt, who had
just received them from California
The fact that these fine, solid onions
had come all this distance in such
perfect condition, and at the end of
the hot season occasioned some sur
prise in view of the heavy losses
which some onion growers in South
Texas experienced last spring on ship
ments. Mr. McDavitt says he cannot
understand how these onions came
so far in such perfect condition at
this season.

School Gardens In Washington.

The school garden movement In Washington, which started humbly few years ago, has so strongly appeal ed to the children and their parents that with comparatively little assist ance from the public funds 1t has thrived amazingly. Already a marked shange is observable not only in the Immediate surroundings of the school buildings themselves, but in all parts # the town at the homes of the little mes. They have been taught plant love in terms which have in many cases never been presented to them be- fore. By their personal participation In the work of making gardens, in prepar ing the ground. selecting and planting the seeds, caring for the sprouts and tho plants and finally plucking the blooms of their own cultivation they have gained sense of responsibility which makes for the improvement of the whole town

PARKER WAS ANGRY Guilford Man Says He Feels Like Defying the
 Courts. VERY EXPENSIVE VISIT 'Selectman Figures That He is Several Dollars Short on Account
 Of Subpoena.

: Selectmana Ralph Parker of Gull ford, as well known in Connecticut as the Sleeping Giant" came into town yesterday defying the court He had been subpoenaed as witness in the superior court, and had been in at tendance for three days. Moreover he was figuring up the cost
 A deputy sheriff read the subpoena to him last week and paid him s270, This was sixty cents for court fees and 50 much for mileage,
 I've spent S19,p said Parker yes terday, since I have been in New Haven on this trial and if I am not going to be called as witness to-day I shall not show up here again. I have inquired of some of the best law yers and they tell me am not com pelled to come here and pay my own expenses every day. Let 'em send the sheriff after me, if they want to. I'm from Guilford' '
 The case for which Parker was summoned as witness is the case of Eliza & Foote against Chester A. Brown. It seems that Brown some time ago built shack of house on the old Foote farm in Guilford and prepared there to live and die
 As the Foote farm has been in ex- istence i50 years the heirs naturally resented the intrusion of Brown. They then brought suit to oust him. His re- tort was that the land he had squatted on belonged to the town of Guilford.
 Selectman Parker says he knows of no such claim on the part of the town.
