OPPOSES CORPORATION ACT

Judge Simeon E. Baldwin, of New Haven, former Chief Justice of the Su- preme Court of Errors in this state, con- demns the so called Corporation Act, as- serting that it is menace to small man. ufacturers throughout the country and step toward the undesirable centrali- zation of the government. He expressed the belief that the law would work un- told harm and little if any good, and would invade state rights in an unpre- cedented manner. He claimed that it would enable foreign corporations, now excluded, to come into a state. and that @ manufacturer of intoxicating liquors, by securing federal franchise, might manufacture liquor in a prohibition state Other evils he cited were the great chance for graft, increase of litiga- tion in federal courts, and aggrandize- ment of the federal judiciary.

THE STORY OF THE FLOOD

Prof. Hilprecht, representing the University of Pennsylvania, who short time ago aroused the interest of the whole Christian world by the claim that he had discovered a tablet containing the story of the Biblical flood. has got into hot water. Other professors of Oriental literature, after making a care ful study of the copies of the tablet which were published, say that the learned professor has drawn on his imagination in his translation, par ticularly in supplying the text where the tablet was so worn or defaced as to be illegible, and they also assert that the hieroglyphics or lettering is of 8 date hundreds of years after the flood It is claimed by Prof. Hilprecht to describe. This argument may develop into another Peary-Cook row, but it is to be hoped that the flood tablet discoyerer will stick to his story or honestly own up that he was wrong instead of taking to the tall timber as Dr. Cook did

THE RAISING OF SHEEP

For many years the sheep industry has been abandoned by the farmers in this and other New England states be- cause the ravages of dogs among their focks has rendered it impossible to make profit from them, in fact. the attempts made at different times have resulted in direct loss.|
 In view of this fact and the other i'm portant fact that Litchf1eld county is admirably adapted (aside from dogs) for sheep growing. an experiment. made by MT. Tyre of Lenoxdale, Mass, and now being tried on larger scale by President Mellen of the New Haven road at his farm in Stookbridge, will be watched with interest by all the farmers in this section, and more particularly by those who can remember the focks that thrived on these rocky hills in their fathers time.
 It seems that MT. Tyre has tried for some time, and with good success, the experiment of policing his flock of sheep with Angora goats, and so we'll has the plan worked that MT. Mellen has ob- tained from him a specially trained lot of goats to guard his valuable flock of | 600 sheep.
 The reports are that ''the dogs are so frightened by the Angoras that they whine pitifully at the mere scent of one | of them from afar" " Whether this re- port is exaggerated or not, there must be something in the story, and if the experiment. should be success, it will prove blessing to the farmers of this county such as has not been vouchsafed to them for many years.

LOSS TO LITERATURE

By the death of Myra Kelly, who passed away last week. the country is deprived of a writer of Ghetto or East Side stories who was without an equal. Her depictions of the characteristics and phraseology of these sometime to- be Americans was both delightful and in- structive. The idloms and views of affairs of these little ones or Jewish, Slavic and Polish descent as expressed to their beloved teacher, Miss Bailey, " as Miss Kelly named herself in her stories, gave thousands of people new impression of their characters, bringing up and possibilities.
 Few, if any, writers have been so quickly accepted by publishers as was Myra Kelly. She was, as is we'll known, teacher in the primary department of an East Side school, and used to relate at home little anecdotes of the happen ings of the day. These stories gave the family so much pleasure that they urged her to write some of them for publication She demurred, but the family were so insistent, that one day, without inform ing them of the fact, she wrote some of the stories and to make a bold plunge into literature at once, made two extra copies of the article, ,and mailed all three to three different magazines. A day or two after she went into her fathers study with dismay on her countenance. told him what she had done and showed him three acoeptances and three checks from the three publishers, with request for more of the stories. A friend of the family, acting as mediator, went to the publishers, explained the circumstances and persuaded them to toss up to see who should have the first article, the others to have future ones ill their turn.
 From that time until her health failed the stories by Myra Kelly were read and enjoyed by thousands of American readers and her early death will be sincerely mourned by those who appreciate the correct delineation of character in story form.

The Ingenious MaupIe.

The magpie is nothing if not ingen- ious. He always barricades his bulky nest with thorn branches. so that to plunder it is by no means an easy mat ter, but when circumstances oblige the pie" to build in a low bush or hedge, an absence of lofty trees being a marked feature of some northern To- calities, he not only interlaces his home, but also the entire bush, in a most formidable manner. Nor does he stop here To make assurance dou- ble sure" he fashions a means of exit as we'll as an entrance to the castle, so that if disturbed he can slip out by his back door, as 1t were.-London Graphic.

Trout Fishing is Good


 In spite of predictions to the contrary, the trout season opened more success- fully than for several years. Good catches have been reported from all over the state, and local fishermen have brought in good baskets. The continued warm, dry weather has brought down the streams to almost summer stage and already few dyed in the wool crauks are using the arti- ficial fly with fair results.
 Suckers Galore
 All fishing records were broken, and all the old-time ''sucker yanking bees" were totally eclipsed by the results of last Saturdays and Sundays harvest from the Blackberry river. The stream was lined with all sorts and conditions of men and 5oys equipped with poles, snares and spears, and the throwing out of suckers was continuous perform ance. At the faYorite "sucker hole" near the baseball ground was oongre- gation of from fifteen to twenty "pisca- torial artists" who took only the big ones, but of these there was at least one in the air all the time. When one had caught what he thought was enough, and assembled his string to take home, new difficulty confronted him-he couldn't carry them. Some took what they could and left the rest, while others made two trips, and at last horse and lumber wagon came to the rescue. One young American and his brother found that they had lugged home eighty-five pounds, ,and, as many others were equally successful, it is safe to inter that suckers figured conspicuously on the menus of Oanaanites generally the past few days, If half the fish were eaten the doctors must have had some severe cases of "suckeritis" to prescribe for.

A SPRING LILT

There's ripple on the river, where the
 water is agleam;
 There's a brown bird singing to its shadow in the stream;
 And the barren woods are blcSso n1ng,
 and it's people are a-wlng,
 For over hill and Iver uale they head the
 coming spring There's a smell of burning rubber boots upon the atmosphere; The sound of angry angle-worms i'll strife accosts the ear; Housecleaning muss has put the whole blamed household on the bum But there's joyful meaning in it all-it means that spring has come. There's note of jubilation in the cackle of the hen, As she drops the price of eggs a cent or two, or five, or ten; And the doodle-bugs crawl out upon the apple-bough and sing Of the jolly days a-coming with the open ing of spring. There's lessening thrill of sadness in the coalbin's hollow sound; There is music in the squeak of the lawn mower being ground; There's high artistic glory in the signs of new book beer, All betokening the gladsome fact that good old spring is here. / There's the deuce to pay among the poli- ticians of the state, And wires and legs are being pulled from early morn till late; But the tricks and jobs and bargains of the office-seekers' game Are welcome symptoms after all-they prove that spring has came.

Minor Changes
IN new RULES
Decision OF Football Commit
tee About the Game
Is Given.

That the latest American football
game under the new rules is likely
to stand for several years at least,
with perhaps few minor changes, is
the opinion of many of the coaches
and players of the New England col
lege elevens at the close of the pres.
ent season.
From the spectators standpoint
the game proved more popular than
ever before. Injuries were less in
number and seriousness than for
many years only one fatality occur
ring in this section. That was on
Thanksgiving Day, at Winsted, Conn.
According to Trainer "Pooch" DON
ovan and DR.. Nichols, of the Har-
ward eleven, twisted knees were more
prevalent than any other injury.
Don" Pryor of Brooklyn said the
new rules helped his team immense
| ly.
They gave Il greater chance for
heady, speedy men," he said, than
was allowed the same players under
the old rules. and are entirely salts
factory except possibly for the 20
yard zone relating to forward passes
and on-side kicks and the division of
periods"
Coach f. S. Durgin of Bowdoin Col
| lege said the new game had great
possibilities which even the larger
colleges did not bring out.
DR.. Carl Williams, representative
! of the University of Pennsylvania on
the football rules committee and
chairman of the advisory board of
coaches, is of the opinion that, while
the new rules have decreased in
juries, they have not made the game
more interesting TO the spectators.
The game has been married." he
said, by the fact that under the new
rules prohibiting the giving of as.
sistance to the runner, IL is almost
impossible for either of two evenly
matched teams TO gain more than two
or three consecutive first downs.
II would remedy this by permit
ting the runners to receive the assist
ance of at least one man. If such a
rule were passed it would be possible
to restrict the forward pass to back
of the line of scrimmage. This would
give the offense an even chance. Then
would remove the 2O-yard restric-
ton from the on-side kick.
with the experience of this year
as guide, next years game should
be far more interesting and just as
safe"

ANOTHER SOCCER
LEAGUE FORMING

There Is prospect of new soccer
league, with at least four teams com
posing it, and the probable teams
will be Kams, Fort Shafter, Aliiolani
Alumni and Mckinley High.
The Kams have wanted to start
another league, and as each of these
other organizations is thinking
strongly of getting into the game, a
league will probably be formed with
in short time and the teams fight
for the championship.
This week picked team from the
Grammar School League Is going up
against the champion Kams and try
to put goal over them, this picked
team to represent the best players on
the other teams of the league.
