CORRESPONDENCE
MOSCOW.

On Saturday a highly enjoyable and
long to be remembered celebratlon OF
the Fourth of July was held by a
number of the people of Moscow town
ship at the farm home of A. &. Formo.
MI. Fred Borusky, one of the popular
old time school teachers in this part OF
the county, opened the exercises OF the
day with the reading of the Declaration
of Independence, which helped not a
little in putting the crowd in an ap-
propriately patriotic mood and enabled
them to properly appreciate the Grafton
of the day, the next number Oh the pro-
gram delivered by Ole Olmanson. Emil
Steinke. who has something more than
a local reputation as a humorlst, next
had the crowd in an uproar with one OF
his comic speeches and after they had
been given sufficient time to completely
recover from what he told them the
choir rendered a number OF selection OF
vocal and instrumental music that had
a special bearing on the observance OF
the day. Following this all the usuaI
sports and races were INDUCED in. Ii
was we'll along towards dusk in the
evening when everybody left for theil
homes. we'll satisfied with the way IL
which they had spent the day and firmly
resolved to gather again a year hence
and celebrate the anniversary of the da,
of Americas independence in a name
similar toithat which had proven ST
highly satisfactory on thus occasion.

Wind Shaken Trees.

Should excessive winds blow the top
Of a tree out of shape, which often oc-
ours. cut it out, leaving a nearly erect
southwest branch to become the new
central stems. Shallow, loosely plant
ed trees sometimes blow over. They
may be put back by excavating on the
opposite side and pushing the tree
back, stamping the earth as firmly as
possible on the side toward which it
leaned. Care should be taken not to
wrench the roots loose in this opera
tion.-American C%ultivator.

Farm Helm,

1t is claimed by many that a farmer
cannot afford to keep a hand the year
around. 1t is also well known that If
a hand cannot be given employment
twelve months in the year he will seek
some other employment. If the farm
er would conduct dairying in connec-
ton with the farm he would find that
a hand could be furnished profitable
employment during the winter, and he
would find less trouble getting a good
hand.

A CHILDREN's COURT.

The many advantages that will he sure to come with the esta ablishment in the near future of the new juvenile city court in Hartford cannot hut sue- gest similar courts for New Haven and for other cities in the State. The ar raigning of youthful frst-offenders at the bars If our city courts. side by side with hardened offenders of all kinds is far too apt to bring about thVsrt- ing of the purposes of justice and the maintenance of peace and order CrirninolCgists have long had the sub ject under consideration They are now of one opinion, namely that child ren's courts are the only proper places to aTraign the young. Wherever the courts have been esta blished they have worked well It is to be expected that they will prove as advantseeous in Hartford and that New Haven would have no regret were they es- tablished similarly here.

THAT MAKEsHIFT AGAIN.

Though the Aldrich bill isn't what it started out to be, 1t Is still very much In the ring, and the Aldrich bill or nothing has lost none of it's meaning. The bill, much amended, went through sent to the House today The situation there appears to be that Speaker Can non is for the bill At this time there seems to be a determined Republican minority against it. If the Speaker Is able to whip the minority into support of the measure on the ground of party duty, the bill will pass Otherwise there will be no currency legislation at this session of congress.
 Not a very cheering situation, except in the possibility that there will be no currency legislation at this session. That none is Immediately needed grows plainer and painer as we get farther and farther away from the breakdown What is needed. when there are time and inclination, is some legislation that will be thorough and adequate When senator Aldrich admits that his own bill is a makeshift and when all &C., quainted with the situation know 1t Is, the pressure to pass it is not wholly pleasing It seems to indicate that there are "lnterests" behind it.

\ CHANGE MISSED.

It is announced that Russian tim Der dealer has discovered a mine of oak It exists in a river in south Rus sia and has layers three or four feet deep scattered over 150 square miles It's most striking feature is its variety of colors, supposed to be due to the variegated soil of the river bottom. No fewer than twelve shades of pink. blue, yellow and brown have been noted, each log having it's own uni form shade. The logs taken out have ranged from forty to two hundred feet in length and from fifteen to twenty inches in diameter, and it is estimated that more than 150,000 averaging seventy feet remain.
 Good. But the fact that the story is no bigger indicates that they are be- hlnd the times In Russia. There would have been money in that mine If 1t had been properly advertised and properly handled. It would only have needed few ciphers to make the logs 5,oo0,oO0,O 900 instead of 15OOoo, and ciphers are cheap. Then some fine day the public as a special favor could have been allowed to scramble for seventy million shares of stock at par or over. And all would have been merry and monetary.

WHEN CORN DOES WELL.

The campaign oratory has begun,
 and some of it is worth attention. For instance. that of Representative Pol lard of Nebraska who by careful study | has found that during the administra-
 ton of President Harrison the average annual acreage of corn was "A, 2S0, S96 acres. The average annual yield of corn during his administration was l. s22,s70,QO0 bushels The average annual price per bushel on the first day of December was 39,7 cents. During the Cleveland administration the average acreage and yield was practically the same as during the Harrison admins tration, but the value of the crop was s162, 100000 less in round numbers. The average annual price per hushe was ' l-2 cents less per bushel During the Mckinley and Roosevelt administra- tfons the average annual acreage in creased to almost ss,000 GOO acres. The average annual production amounted to 2,240 6S4, 4s3 bushels. The average an nusl value was ss69, ,575. Soa The average annual price per bushel was sss cents. The value of the corn crop during the last year of the Harrison administra- tion was sS per cent greater than 1t was during the first year of his admin istration During the last year of the Cleveland administration the value of the corn crop actually decreased sixteen per cent. from what it was during the first year of his administration
 Which indicates that the Republicans are some on corn, and makes it evident that if the farmers want good corn weather they should vote for a contin- nation of Republican weather. Facts are stubborn things, and the applica- ton of them Is sometimes equally stub born.

building far removed from the regu- lar court for adults. The court and the sergeants on the police force will use the same room at different times in the day so the expenses connected with the establishment of the court will be practically nil. There is no age when the initiative faculties are more made use of than youth; and there is no class more given to imitation than the criminally-inclined. The neces- slty th=n of keeping the youth, who may have offended against the law but slightly, from coming in contact with their elders, who have committed every variety of offence, Is obvious, Moral suasion'' is oftentimes one of the best medicines for these children; it is better than locks and bars. But well-meant lectures and advice cannot but lose much of their force when about them sit like grinning apes, the older and more hardened criminals, upon whose ears the wise words of ad vice from the judge fall like the sounding brass or the tnkling cym- bal. Judges. too, of children, are, or should be. of different temperament from judges of adults Theirs is deli cate task to perform and perform we'll. There is every chance for fine distinc- tions; every chance for mistakes These judges should be, above all things, optimists. looking upon the bright side of life with its possiblli- ties so infinitely wider than life's darker side, New Haven has the judges. Shal New Haven not show itself abreast of the times in its treat ment of its youth? A move on the part of the judiciary and the legal profes- sion in this regard is due.

purpose, the impressiveness and mo- bility of the mission which calls him away from the land of plenty to that of want. One has but to contrast him with his own compatriot, MT Hillquit, who stops at the invocation of the law, or better yet with rugged and gener- ous Jacob Riis, who knows the other half better and better knows how to deal with their distress without tear ing down the walls of society. The ways of Hunter are the ways of riot; the ways of Riis are the ways of or derly construction, and the officers of the law should observe the distinction in treating both.
 The world is not blind to the awful consequence of unwilling idleness and it is learning slowly what the conduct must be during eras of employment to make enforced idleness either economically impossible or as near impossible as it can he made. The world will not and ought not to put up with the misconstruction placed up on the right of free speech by men of the Hunter type. They are not the real friends of those in need. They merely add to the burden put upon the stopping shoulders of those in need. Nor can they escape their share of the responsibility for the presence in Union Square last Satur- day of a bomb and bomb thrower. Government now knows what the Hunter type is and may proceed ac- cordingly.

GILL, JR.

Gill, Jr., is the name of town in Franklin county, Massachusetts. It is located in the town of Gill and was established by the boys of Gill. It is lively town and a we'll conducted one. It's young citizens take a great interest in its affairs It is run ac- cordlng to the Massachusetts statutes and local boy sentiment. The eleven town officers perform their duties faithfully and we'll. The town meeting discussing the problems of the roads and the automobiles, the projected sale of a schoolhouse and the erection of a new one, brought forth a debate as spirited and enightening as could be desired. Taxes are levied and elections are held with all the paraphernalia.
 The Gill boys who carry on Gill, IT.. will know what they are about when they become old enough to take part in carrying on the real town of Gill, or some other town. IL would be a good idea If every town had "Jr." There are both pleasure and useful training in the idea.

PICKLE MARCH.

April is called the fickle month, and sometimes it lives up to it's reputation but 1t will have to be pretty lively to be more fickle than March has been. Yesterday March seemed to be going out like a wet hen, but while there s March there's March, and the two more days of it may surprise us. They also may not. It is unusual to have Summer in March. Last Spring Summer was so slow In even sending out its advance notices that some who had waited long for it began to fear that the cold Sum mer of some ancient years was to be repeated. But 1t finally got around and we had several Summers, the late ones being about as fine as anybody could wish. Let US therefore leave fickle March for flckle April in hope. It is not probable that we are going to have Summer from now until Thanksgiving, but we may. A long Summer would be especially welcome this year.
