CLOCK WOULDN'T STRIKE
And So Groton Housewife Burned
Her Baking.

A family in the interior, few miles
distant from the village Of GrotOn, Is
just recovering a normal state of mind
after a mistake in the operation of a
new cook stove. The stove was in
stalled by a merchant from a nearby
village, who informed the family in
the way of a joke, that the oven
thermometer, a modern contrivance
for registering the temperature of
the interior of the oven, was q clock
a positively new idea, which would
strike loudly when the article under
the baking process was ready to be
removed. The statement appeared
plausible as the face of the thermom-
eter was numbered to IL, and had
every appearance of a timepieee.
The idea that this assertion would
be taken for full value did not occur
to the merchant and he gave the joke
no more thought. A few days after
the stove had been given a thorough
trial the head of the household made
his appearance at the merchants
place of business in towering rage.
The merchant, after listening to a
lengthy TRADE, pleasantly asked his
visitor the cause of his agitation.
well" was the reply, that darned
stove you sold me has burned up
everything my wife has tried to cook
and we amt had anything fit to eat
for two or three days. The pesky
clock don't. strike" Then the
mechanism of the thermometer was
explained.-New London Telegraph.

Climate and Soil Good.
We have great variety of soil in
our Valleys on our plains. and on our
hills, admirably adapted for fruit
growing, and the good Lord has given
us a greater variety of climatic con-
ditions, most of which are favorable
to the industry, as can be found any
where on earth. On top of that we
have some wonderful streams of water
in Connecticut. In New England we
have not half appreciated what a
tremendous advantage it is to have
streams of water such as we have
here. The time will come. gentle
men, when the streams of New Eng
land will be used to develop its agri-
culture We shall begin to irrigate,
and get wonderful results.
Take any standard fruit that can
be grown in this state at all, and we
can grow it to a higher state of per-
lection on the hills of New England
than it can be grown anywhere else
in America. I am willing to make that
statement anywhere. l will admit
we do not do it. There is where the
trouble is. We do not take advantage

COMPULSORY VACCINATION
Ended in Bridgeport SehooIs-Board Of
Education Re.cinds Rule.
A Rridgeport paper saws:

A Bridgeport paper says:
Compulsory vaccination among the
pupils of the public schools is an OBJ
solete rule and Major Boudren and the
members of the Anti-Vaccination So
ciety, who made fight for just this
end before a meeting of the board some
months ago, can now rejoice. At the
meeting of the board of education on
Monday evening all rules appertaining
to vaccination previously adopted were
rescinded.
At one time a rule was in force that
all children entering the schools must
be vaccinated. This prevailed for many
years. Then came the agitation
against compulsory. vaccination led by
Thomas w. Boudren. A modification
of the rule resulted and where parents
sent a personal letter to the superin-
tendent to the effect that they objected
to vaccination the child was permitted
to enter. The superintendent read
number of these letters Monday even
ing and 1t was found that to compile
a list of the children whose parents
object to them being vaccinated any
one where children are vaccinated
would require big corps of special
clerks
After discussing the matter, DR..
Monahan suggested that all previous
rules on the subject be rescinded and
the motion was carried. The physician
stated that in the event of a conta-
gion the matter could be handled but
at this time the board has one rule
while the parochial schools have an
other and it appeared all children
should be treated alike. The vote to
rescind was unanimous, although At
torney Cullinan stated that in spite of
the action of the board of education
the board of health could come in at
any time and under state law compel
the school children to be vaccinated.

FRUIT-cRowrNe STATE.
Conditions in Connecticut as Favora-
BILE as in Any Place.

At the annual meeting of the Con-
necticut state board of trade. held at
New Haven recently, one of the prin-
cipal addresses was made by ]. H.
Hale, his subject being: What Are the
Possibilities of Connecticut as Fruit
Growing State?
Mr.. Hale said in part:
The farmers and the people of Con-
necticut are just beginning to wake up
to the possibilities of this old state in
that direction. Perhaps / ought not to
say the farmers are, because they are
not the only ones that are waking up.
But all New England is waking up
and when gentlemen like you, repre-
senting the boards of trade, manufac-
turing, commercial and financial in
terests of the state, finally wake up
to the Importance of agriculture and
horticulture to a state like Connecti-
cut, as I see you are doing from the
fact that you have not this topic on
your programme, there is going to
be something doing. 1t is time.
