The American Agriculturfst IS good
authority, and that newspaper says
regarding the outlook for corn, the
country's greatest grain crop: Every
condition, both weather and financial,
has tended, to enlarge the breadth of
this cereal, and the result is an acre
age which not only surpasses all pre-.
Vious records, but is the largest area
ever devoted to a single crop in any
country in the history of the world.
The increase was So per cent. over
the area harvested last year, max.
ing the present breadth 1902 $50 900
acres, or slightly more than 5000 900
above the largest breadth heretofore
harvested" Other cereals make a
correspondingly favorable showing.
There is no famine in sight this wear.
and as usual the United States will
continue to help out the rest of the
world in the matter of food supply.

IAAou WHO was hllle0-COnnnS En- tertainment.
 Some of the leading citizens of the town have already volunteered to give financial assistance to the new athletic club which is being formed, and which will be called the Fair Field.
 Work on the Easton turnpike is making rapid progress and has been nearly completed by the County Com missiOners. The section undergoing repairs is about one and one-third
 miles long.
 Miss Annie F. Rogers, one of the grade teachers in the Greenfield Hill school, is ill and has gone to the home of friends in PauPs Village. Probab ly a substitute will be engaged to fill her place until she is able to resume her duties.
 There are at least tangible indica- tions that work will soon begin on the proposed electrical lighting plant for this town. A cable is to be run out from Bridgeport. which will supply electricity to all who care to use it. Men were going over the ground on Saturday last for the purpose of de- signating the best places for the cree tion of the poles It is proposed to place them on the north side of the Main street. conference has been had with the officials of the Congre- gational church to determine the best places for poles in front of that struc- ture. There are those in town who think much opposition will come from the outlying districts in the town is called upon to raise money to pay for lighting district, and that those living, within it's bounds should bear the bur den of the expense.
 The good people of Southport are talking of the delightful lecture deliv-- cred by Game Warden Wilbur F. Smith. at the Pequot library. Such was the desire to hear him that the people began to crowd into the library by seven o'clock. although the doors did not open until 8 o'clock. Rev. and. Mrs. Holman were present, and Mir Holman had charge of the lantern slides and the apparatus for throwing the pictures on the screen The school children enjoyed the lecture immensely and MT. Smith told many stories about birds and boys. Among other things he said: The robins are notoriously social, and the grackles or crow birds, take pleasure in dignified parade along the back fence. The bluebird is less common, and the catbird, who is not due until the beginning of April, seems to have favorite localities. Nor is the song sparrow unknown, or the red-eyed and yellow-throated viroes-

CHINAMAN QUALITIES
 AS JUSTICE IN BOSTON

Boston. April 29.-Charles K. Shue. prosperous merchant of Chinese birth. of this city. has qualified as Justice of the Peace before Councillors Barry Representative Freeman O. Emerson stood sponsors for him. After being sworn in he visited the House cham
 Der, and was introduced to Speaker
 So far as MT. Shue is aware he is the only man of Chinese pdrentage in the country who has been made a Jus tice of the Peace. He was born in Seattle. Wash. 35 years ago. and came to Boston when a young man to en- gage in the importing business. He is now partner in one of the largest Oriental importing houses in this city.

Indeed, a catalogue of the birds that
 might be seen within mile of the Pequot Library would come pretty close to embracing the whole list. It is further afield, however, that one must go to study them to advantage, and whoever has so studied them and learned to love them will not tolerate for a moment the crimes their human enemies perpetrate upon them. The return of the birds should not be mar red by the robbery of their nests or by the wanton butchery of themselves.
 There will be concert this evening at the PequOt Library, given by the choir. of the Congrega tional church as- ssited by talent from New Haven. A rare musical treat is expected and the room should be crowded.
 The latest addition to the output of the Home Made Bakery is Parker House Rolls. They can be served to customers fresh every morning. This establishment now runs all night.
 There will be one more lecture this spring at the Pequot Library-some time in May by a professor from Yale University.
 MT. James L. Bergen was taken to the Bridgeport hospital yesterday to be operated upon for an abscess, said to be the result of the accident he met with two years ago this coming June, when he was riding on railway train. It will be recOllected that he brought suit for damages but was non-suited by the judge on the ground that he had no claim for damages since he was riding on a. freight train by leave of the conductor who had no power to take passengers. It is said the case is to be appealed and that MT. Bergen is! confident a jury will award him damages.
 Speaking of the man who was re- gently killed on the road near West port men in the center say it is a wonder he was not killed long ago, for he has been tramping the roads for a year. past. and was often intoxicated. With roads crowded with automobiles it is almost as much sober man can do to keep out of danger. But if a man hangs about a saloon for hours and then attempts to stagger home he is in peril of his life.

Servation was made at Yale Univer- sity Tuesday of a phenomenal halo around the sun. ..
 At o'clock it showed the ordinary halo due to ice crystals like rainbow and known as the circumscribing oval halo was remarkably vivid. At 1:55 the colorless circle passing through centre appeared and grew stronger rapidly for about ten minutes
 At its maximum the rare phenome- non of the opposite sun and its pair of intersecting spiral arcs was seen briefly.
