Editor of the Farmer. Sir
 There are good reasons for the young men to use theii. good judgment, and support tho candidacy of Edward T. Buckingham for mayor. First he is young man. and 1t is of that class that must be relied on chiefly in nation. state, and locally. the old saying young men for action and old men for coun-' ell still holds good, second he is an honor able man. no finger can be point ed at Edward T. Buckingham in aught but a feeling of pride at his straight forward actions in all his long service as a city official. third he is a pro- gressive man. and knowing the needs of a city like Bridgeport. there is no reason to doubt but those needs will be ably looked after. thoroughly and without fear or favor. having known Mr. Buckingham for years. and being eg3tistical enough to believe that I am something of Judge of human nature, will venture the prediction, that Edward T. Buckingham will have his hands tied by no faction. but will act for the best interest of all irrespec- tive of party. With 9 clean record in the past. with that record to main tain in. the future. no Republican old or young need have the least hesita- tion in giving him his full support.

State to Disband
 BranfOrd Battery

Branford, Oct. 27.-One of the officers of Battery A, c. N. G., states that orders have been issued from the office of the adjutant general in Hartford to have all the equipment of the battery turned in. This is equivalent to the disbanding of the battery. The of1c- CTS are considering what steps they can take to prevent this, but it is prob able that nothing can be done now.
 For some years there has been talk of disbanding the battery and reor- ganizing a battery in one of the cities, it being the policy of the State to have the military companies in the cities rather than in the small towns.

OUT OF STATE OWNERS

A feature of the legislation which was passed at the last session of the general assembly and which has not attracted much interest is the law which requires that henceforth non- residents who have maintained large summer homes in the state where live stock has been maintained will hence forth have to pay taxes on the prop erty to the town in this state in which the property is held instead of being exempt. It is believed this will be great help to the small towns where the all year round residents have hith- erto had to stand for all the taxes.

and at midday telegram was re-
ceived saying that he would shortly
arrive on the train. The train drew
in, and burly, bearded man was seen
at the window of first-class carriage.
"Dr. Grace!" cried a delighted por-
ter, waving his hand as a welcome to
Hambledon Festival
The bearded, broad-shouldered
man cheerfully waved his hand in
recognition of the salute and alight-
ed. His ticket was taken by an obse-
quious and highly gratifed collector.
All the cabs and carriages were at
the cricket ground. The only vehicle
in the yard was waiting for a we'll
known hunting man.
He heard the cries, "Grace is here"
and then There he is" and at once
placed his carriage at the disposal of
the distinguished arrival, and in COM
pany with photographer, who was
waiting for chance to snap the great
cricketer, drove him to Broad Hail
penny Down.
Hambledon village was a-futter
with flags and bunting in honor of the
famous match and as the carriage
passed the word spread that Dr..
Grace was the smiling gentleman
with the enormous beard.
Each time cricket was mentioned,
however, the Doctor" with great
modesty, switched off the conversa-
tion suddenly. He talked of fishing,
shooting-anything but cricket or
himself.
When Broad Halfpenny Down was
reached the driver hurried down to
inform Mr.. c. B. Fry, the captain of
the Hambledon team, that DR.. Grace
had arrived. The moment Mr.. Fry
saw the newcomer, however, his eyes
twinkled. 1t was not DR.. Grace at
all, but his double.
1t was discovered later that DR.. w.
G. Grace could not come, owing to
other engagements. The double sub
sequently wrote humorous letter of
appreciation to the London press.
The granite memorial, which faces
the old Bat and Ball Inn, where the
Hambledon cricketers have always
met, bears the inscription:

The last of the famous Pablo herd
of buffaloes were lately taken from
the Flathead Indian reservation, Mon.
tana, to the Canadian National park,
east of Edmonton, Alberta. NJ. Pablo,
the former owner of the herd, is m-
doubtedly the richest Indian on the
continent, for he has vast herds of
horses and cattle, aside from the
more than GOO buffaloes which he sold
to the Canadian government at 1925
each. He and his family will also
have some of the choicest lands of
that fertile region when the Flathead
reservation is throYn open for settle
ment in SeptembeE 1909. None of the
Pablo family seems to have eXtrava-
CANT tastes of desire to see the world,
nor are any of the children the equal
of M. Pablo in business matters; so
one cannot but wonder who in the end
will benefit by Pablo's accumulated
wealth. Some of his civilized des-
cendants, however, may yet be the
Astors or the Vanderbilts of the red
race.-Leslie's Weekly.
