Stratford Briefs

The recent cold wave has hastened the hauling out of boats at the yacht club, and the waters of the river are beginning to look deserted. The high winds have also prevented work on the natural oyster beds and falling off in the incomes of the oystermen is a result The work will be more difficult as the season advances.

ESTIMATE GF PROFITS
 IN OYSTER BUSINESS
Big Set on Town Grounds But Much
 Greater on Cultivated Beds.
Especial to The FarmerO


 Stratford, Nov. 3-An illustration of the prolific set of oysters this season was furnished by Homer W. Porter of this town, who owns ground in the Jurisdiction Of the town Of Milford. Yesterday Capt. Porter sampled a por- tIon of his ground which was planted with shells four years ago. He found the set far beyond his most sanguine expectations. Two old shells which he brought in had over 100 small oys- ters elinging to each of them. The oysters were remarkably vigorous and no dead ones were found. Such a set should mature about 75 per cent. with any fair treatment Allowing 300 oysters three years old to the or- dinary barrel the increase in this time gives a fair estimate of the returns to. be expected by oyster growers this season. The set on the natural beds is also very prolific. The big oys- ter companies who plant and care for. large sections of ground have fared even better than smaller grow CTS and natural growthers. They are not saying very much, but the facts are that they get a larger set on ac- count of the cultivation of the beds and also loose a smaller per cent. through natural causes on account of their improved methods of taking care of their property. These figures will give the general public some idea of the importance of the oyster business and the big profits that will accrue the next few years on account of the large set this season.

Why l Lost
 Ny Job
Reasons Why Thousands Like Me

Reasons Why Thousands Like Me
 Canont Satisfy Their Employers
 I believe my fate is not unlike that of thousands of other workers who daily lose their places for reasons they do not know, and probably would not believe. When their last pay envelo pe comes along, it is usually, "Your ser vices no longer required" If the truth were known, the reason for their un- ceremoniOus removal would probably be that their usefulness was destroyed because of some mental worry. bodily ailment or general indisposition. These things. as we all know, are the most fruitful causes of failure in all walks of life. The battle of Waterloo was lost because of a headache. In this quick age our minds must be clear, rapid, active and free from out side influence or worry, or else we go down to failure with the throng of "1oaters'' who go from one place of employment to another. giving no sat isfaction to others or to themselves, constantly growing older and less use- full, with no ambition, no will power, and no hope.
 Every man requires from every oth- CT man the best that is in him. But is in himself until he is first free from alll fretful indispositions and worries.
 That was my trouble. I was full of troubles. That's why I lost my job. My stomach in the first place was aI- ways out of order, and I was worrying about it and my mind grew cloudy. and slow. I made mistakes, and grew grouchy. That was the end.
 There are thousands like me. going about with "quick lunch" faces, dys- peptic manners, and repulsive atmos- pheres No employer wants such mems services.
 Take my advice. A healthy stom- ach is half the battle, for 1t keeps your mind clear, and your face rosy. have a healthy stomach now and hold a good position. and my employer is satisfied and so am I.
 I started to take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets which I was told were good for the worst cases of indigestion and dyspepsia. The first two tablets made a wonderful difference in my condi- ton.
 sia Tablets digests 5000 grains or food. The stomach doesn't have to work at all. The Tablets do all the work, no matter how heavy your meal.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure brash, eructations, burning sensations, bloat. irritations, loss of appetite. nausea, heartburn, lack of energy, loss of memory and dyspepsia and indi- gestion in their very worst forms.
 No other little tablets in the world can do so much. You should carry them around with you wherever you go and take them regularly after meals. Then you will realize what it is to be freed from stomach torment, and have a clear mind, a quick mem ory, a happy disposition, comfort and rest, Get Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at any drug store for soc box.

MURDERER HAS NOT
 BEEN IN STAMFORD
Good Reasons for Believing EspOsitO Only Went Through the Town to
 Reach Milford.

It is not believed here that Antonio Espoaito has ever been in Stratford since the murder of his uncle in Bridgeport last week, except, perhaps, to pass through the town to reach friends in Milford. It is known that the murderer was in Milford, but no creditable traces have been found of his presence in Shelton. It is not be- lieved that he has been nearer Bridge port since he took his leave and that he has kept going ever since and is now far away from here. The State police have not been able to find any trace of him in this vicinity. It is believed that he obtained funds in Milford and continued his flight from there, never returning this way.

SUS LING DYING AT
 BRIDGEPORT HOSPITAL
Found Wandering on Streets Satur-
 day Night and Locked Up.

Gus Lang who was found wander ing about the streets here, Saturday night. in his bare feet and who was sent to the Bridgeport hospital the next day, was reported in a dying condition at noon today. Softening of the brain is the cause assigned by the hospital surgeons. Lang came to Stratford several months ago. He had been wandering about the coun- try looking for work and was given position by Bernard Judson of the Housatonic Smelting Works. He proved to be a valuable man and was liked by his employer and his asso- ciates. He was quiet and trustworthy until a few days before his trouble when he began to drink heavily. No one at the shop has any knowledge of Lang's home or relatives.

PO0TATuCk CLUB
 GOVERNORS CONFER
Meeting of Yachtsmen at Residence
 of Commodore E. sH. Beers.

The board of governors of the Poot- atuck yacht club and the chairmen of the various committees were the guests of Commodore E. H. Beers at his home in the south end Wednesday night The affair was a preliminary conference among those present in the effort of the commoder to sustain the interest in the club during the winter and also to prepare for next summer. The meeting was the first of a series which will probably be held monthly during the winter. So- winter program with whist parties at the residences of the members These plans are only tentative but they will be developed later. The board voted to take number of shares in the new building and loan association for the club. These shares are in the line of provision for a club house some time in the future. AS there is no immediate prospect of the necessity of building for itself it will eventually become necessary and the purchase of the shares is regarded as a wise provision for the future. The resi- dence of the commodore was arranged to represent a yacht. Over the door was the anchor light Red and green side lights added to the allusion mak- ing the ancient tars present almost believe that they were at anchor in some sheltered harbOr They also made 1t possible for the sailors to lay their course and come to anchor in an easy chair. The rocking chair fleet found rest in the library which had been arranged after the manner of a cabin which was decorated with the signal code and other accessories known to yachtsmen. Refreshments were served and the yachtsmen got under way at a late hour and ran before the wind for home. The affair is indica- tive of the increased interest in the club.
 A rummage sale will be held at the Neighborhood church by the Ladies of the congregation Tuesday next from 10 a. m. until z p. m.

RUSSIA TO MAKE
DEMONSTRATION
Alleges Breach Of Treaty by
Chinese Empire.

London, Feb. 1.-THE relations O.
Russia and China are strained to the
breaking point.
Russia has notified the governments
of Great Britain, France and Germany
of her intention to make a military
demonstration on the Russo-Chinese
frontier owing to China's persistent
violation of the st. Petersburg treaty
of 1881.
Russian troops will be sent forth.
with to the district of Iii.
The extent of the demonstration, it
is added in the diplomatic note, will
depend entirely upon the attitude as.
sumed by China.
The vital questions involved are free
trade in Mongolia, the extraterritorial
rights of Russia in China and the es-
tablishment of a Russian consulate at
Koebdo, Mongolia.
There has been rumors recently of
IN intention by Russia to bring pres.
sure to bear upon China because of
alleged violations of the Russo-C Chinese
treaty. That the situation was acute,
however, has been denied both by the
Chinese foreign board and the Rus.
sian legation at Picking.

THIRD DEGREE IS ALLEGED
Clyde Sperry of Aneta Held on Charge
of Numbering Boy After Repu-
dating Confession.

Clyde Sperry of Aneta was bound
over to the district court on the charge
of manslaughter in the first degree af-
ter a hearing before Judge G. F. Tenn
pleton of Grand Forks.
Sperry is charged with killing Ken
meth Mckenzie on the night of Oct. 16,
1909, and the binding over follows an
alleged confession made by Sperry on
the night of Jan. 10 to States Attorney
S. G. Skulason and Sheriff Johnson.
The defendant on the stand admit
ted telling the story, but said that it
was a pack of lies" also that the con.
fession was wormed out of him by
leading questions and that he was in
duced by fear of punishment and
threats of immunity to tell the story.
Both the states attorney. and sheriff
denied these accusations on the stand.
The case will probably come up at
the June term of court.
