MORE AND BETTER HORSES.
One Of the Great Needs of the
Southern Farm.

You need better horses, in my
candid judgment. and you need more
of them. A one-horse plcw in Iowa
is curiosity. and so is a pillow horse
weighing less than 1900 pounds. /
bought team last spring weighing
1900 pounds each. On heavy land we
put in three horses.
Another great need of the South
Is to break up your ruinous tenant
system. You need to pray to be
saved from the farm-owner who lives
in the town and lets tenants ruin his
land The hope of any State is in it's
prosperous farm owners each living
under his own vine and fig tree.
You need better roads, too of
course and | would especially COM
mend to yon the split log drag. 1t has
been a great success in the West and
is the cheapest and most popular good
roads maker we have ever found. 1t
will not do On sandy land, but on
clay and gumbo types it is everything
that is claimed for it. -Wallace's

Hearings upon the Public Utilities bill have finally been conceded, and the first will be given on Tuesday next. Whoever desires to be heard, will then have an opportunity, and if the meas are is to be enacted, public sentiment must manifest itself in no uncertain manner, for the opposition is strongly organized.

An attempt to check the constantly growing tendency. to increase govern mental expenditures, which has result ed in billion dollar sessions of Con- gress and in probable deficit of over $100, 900, 900 at the coming end of the fiscal year, is really to be made. The Senate is to create what may be called a budget committee to which all de- partment estimates will be referrerd and which will attach to each a linn itation of amount to be expended and then transfer the estimate to the proper committee. This procedure is virtually an importation, and perhaps may lead to further adoption of for eign practices. But that a curb upon extravaganza is imperatively needed, cannot be denied, and if one is not ap- piled and speedily, the people must re- concile themselves to the reimposition of war burdens, such as stamp taxes, income tax, etc.
 It might be well to place some check also upon the Connecticut General As sembly which evinces a decided ten dency to appropriate far beyond in come and is, of necessity, seeking, new scources of revenue.

The tariff bill is not to be rushed through the House without debate or amendment There are too many ss1nsurgent'' Republican members now for any such device as a sti1ing rule from the committee on Rules to be successfully worked. 1t is predicted that debate will be unrestricted, and that not before April 15 will the House be ready to take final vote. Needless to say. numerous amendments are al- ready in process of construction, and If once breach is made in the bill, it's dnal shape will be impossible of req sonable conjecture. Every Represen- tatiye is endeavoring to conserve the interests of his manufacturing and producing constituents. and it is not probable that even one is viewing the matter from a country-broad stand point or in the interest of consumers. This is the inevitable penalty of priv ilAge-culturing policy.

Since Charlie Ross was abducted in 1874. there have been occasional abduc- tions of children for ransom by parents bu& none, so far as we recall, which re- sulter as did that instance, in the per maner,H loss of the child. There have also. since then, been spasmodic att tempts at deterrent legislation which have not always resulted in aught of effective character. The latest abduc- tion. that of the Whitla child, brings the matter to the front again.

It is expected that pr. Child will oc- cupy his pulpit next Sunday. Mean while it has been ably filled by MT. Deyo, a student at the Yale Divinity school.
 Very early Saturday morning the whistle on the Rubber Factory blew an alarm of fire which reused the town. and people rushed to their ped room windows. when they saw a bright light at the south which illuminated the heavens. The cause of all the c ,m- motion was the burning of MT. Scully's hen coop on the road leading from FTint's corner to Sasco Hill.

 The recent meeting of the Audubon Society at the home of. Mrs. William B. Glover, after which 2 luncheon was served, is always an event of interest to Deputy Game Warden Wilbur F. Smith of s. Norwalk, who frequently takes run up to town. day or two ago he says he heard a familiar spring call-the screaming of the red shouldered hawk. He says these birds
 are highly beneficial in their food habits, eating mice, snakes and such like pure foods. They do not catch chickens, therefore the farmer has no need to take his gun off the rack. Ac- cording to MT. Smith there are good and bad hawks, bad from a mans view point. The sparrow hawk is good because it feeds mostly on grass hoppers and mice. The very bad hawks are the goshawk, the sharp-shinned and cooper's. The trouble is when hawk is lowering high in the air, the chicken raiser does not stop to differ entiate the good from the bad, but puts them all in the same category and blazes away at them. Indeed it may be true that the farmer cannot tell one hawk from another. MT. Smith hopes all farmers will get edu- cated on the hawk question and be able to tell the good from the dad.
 While in town a few days ago Prof. F. H. Stoneburn had a very good word to say for Storrs College. He said we have a president with whom all the professors can work. Now we can have team work. MT.

We are doing more work than ever We have 1SO students and more and more want to come but we have no room for them. We have to feed and house the students and we need cottages for the professors. We are like a hoy who has outgrown his clothes. The rooms are too small. The dining room is small the tables have to be set twice, and only 20 min utes can be allowed for a meal. Thus we have to double our work. We have a strong faculty; it is up to you to see that we have the tools to work with.

 It would be very unfortunate if the combined effects of the industrial de- pression and the extravaganza of Con- gresS should compel the issuance of Treasury certificates and Government bonds, but not for the reason given by MT. Clews..- Increase of indebtedness is always an unfortunate condition, for the payment of interest and the ul- timate redemption of the evidences of debt may compel increases in taxation

After a prolonged period of incuba- tion. fhe Hughes direct primary bill has been introduced in the New York Legislature. Under it, if enacted, all members of party committees will be nominated by petition only, the sigma lures of a specific number of enrolled voters being requisite and elected at the party primary. These committees will recommend nominees for public of- ficers. but the actual nominations, ex- cept for Presidential Electors and U. s. Senators, will be made by the en- rolled voters at the party primaries Other than the recommended nominees can file petitions, with a specified num- Der Of signatures, and send their names to the primaries. Primaries must all occur on the same day and six weeks before the election, and the expendi- lures. of candidates in the primaries are strictly limited Party platforms are to be constructed by conferences constituted of the State committee men,, nominees for State officers and chairmen of county committees.
 Under this plan State conventions would disappear-nothing left for them to do. Candidates would all be nam ed by the primaries, and platforms constructed by the party officials and candidates chosen by the primaries. It is very radical departure from pres ent methods. We much doubt it's en- actment = it's operation to the fullest possible extent would retire the Bosses

Commenting upon the Bulkeley can 1idacy for reelection in 1911, the Stam- ford Advocate, Rep.) says:
 good many changes may take place in the politics of the State in two years. Who knows but that, even in this brief span of time, the popular de- sire to have once more a statesman to represent Connecticut in the national Senate will become diffused, and so aggressive, that it must perforce be recognized even by the Bulkeley bunch and the Bulkeley barrel?

In his weekly review of Wall street conditions, Banker Henry Clews raises a new point:
 The great increase of Federal expen- ses continues unaba ted, and there is little or no chance of their diminution. The proposal, therefore, to issue Treas ury certificates and additional quan- titles of Government bonds would have the effect of further imitation in an already over-expanded currency sys- tenn. The ultimate effect of this pro- posaI would consequently be to largely stimulate gold exports and weaken our financial strength. This feature has not received the attention to which it is entitled, since it is an element of danger that should not be lost to view.
 Presumably, most people would well come such imitation if it would bring industrial and commercial revival It's opponents are mostly those who have

CHEVROLET DRIVES
WITH Ills HEAD TOO
Worlds Star Speed Automobile Driver
Is Smiling Asatian-uses His
Head as Well as
Hand

Louis Chevrolet, who has proved
himself to be one of the worlds star
speed automobile drivers, and who re-
Gently drove a race the echo of which
will resound around the motoring
world, is a modest man of about
thirty-fve years. He is sturdily built,
denoting staying powers He weighs
lS0 pounds and is about five feet ten
inches in height.
CheVrolets victories are not flukes.
He has proved his worth in many con-
tests, especially in that fearfully gru-
elling Crown Point Qnd.) road race.
When Chevrolet drove a Buick car
over the Riverhead- Mattituck circuit
on Long Island at an average speed
of seventy miles an hour he estab-
lished a new worlds record and won
easily in his class. Chevrolet never
stopped during the entire contest, one
set of Michelin tires carrying him to
his victorious finish. He used anti
skid tires on his rear wheels, as the
course was slippery during the first
hour. due to three days of rain that
preceded the day of the race.
Chevrolet, a smiling Alsatian, came
to this country seven or eight years
ago as an employe of the De Dion
Bouton Motorette company, which at
that time was building light De Dion
cars in Brooklyn. When the De Dion
company disappeared temporarily che
vrolet went back to France and later
returned with the Italian Fiat people.
Chevrolet has now become one of the
worlds best known drivers. He drives
with his head as we'll as his hands,
and wins because he deserves to win.

WATERPROOF TRUNK FOR
AUTOS HAS BEEN PATENTED

A trunk to carry clothes, tools, hats
and spare tubes has become an absO-
lutte necessity with automobile owners.
Prior to the use of a trunk it was
necessary to carry these articles and
accessories in various parts Of the car
1t took little time however, to tind
that the best place for a trunk, where
it would take up the least space. would
be in the hollow part of the spare tire
usually carried on machine
Various styles of trunks were put on
the market for this purpose, and We're
used extensively, but a strong objer-
tion TO them was that they We're not
water and dust proof and when caught
in a storm the contents as we'll as the
trunk would be ruined
A new and waterproof tire trunk has
lust been invented and patented. This
trunk covers all necessary improve
ments, and is so constructed that it is
impossible for any rain or dust to
enter. The lid, instead of opening from
the top, as formerly, is worked on a
pivot, which gives more available space
and makes the contents easier Of ac-
cess. There are no hinges to break,
and the revolving lid is always in
place and always out of the way.
This trunk is made of three-ply
veneer, covered with heavy enameled
duck. leather bound, stitched and
riveted by hand, felt lined,
