to Ine jeff next year, 1 thought
you might be interested in a report
made now, on crop grown this year.
/ did not get my seed from Mr.. Bob
net nor pay a dollar pound for it;
but suppose I have the same kind of
wheat.
A little more than year ago
my friend Mr.. Carlton of Palmetto,
Ga. sent me a pound gratis; he
called it Stoner miracle wheat. 1
planted it, and this year when har-
vested it was threshed and measured
by Messrs. j. B. Smith and H. r.
Craig; and found to produce two
bushels and nearly peck. A small
portion of my patch was much bet
ter than the rest. One grain pro-
duced 40 stalks. I did not count all
the grains, but think they would av-
erage rs grains to the stalk, which
would make 1000 grains from one.
Other grains produced between 30
and 40 stalks.
[ note that in your paper of Nov.
IS, you quote Pastor Russell as say
ing that one of the samples shown
him by Mr.. Stoner's agent had as
many as 100 stalks from one seed,
then in your comment on Miss Mob
Iey's letter, Nov. 80. you say one
grain produced 22 stalks Will you
please tell us which of these quota
tions are correct?
I note also that Nov. 16, you quote
Pastor Russell as saying that three
years ago the newspapers contained
extensive accounts Of this miracle
wheat And Nov. 30, you say that
according to Pastor Russells version
of it, the wheat was discovered 8
years ago. You say further that if
Stoner found it years ago, it was
impossible for Bonnet to have sOWn
and reaped more than two crops.
Now permit me to ask, did Pastor
Russell say the wheat was discov
cred three years ago, or that the pa
pers contained accounts of it three
years ago? If the papers contained
accounts Of it three years ago,
We note also that the i. S. Agricul-
tural Department had made a report
on it; now if all this took place
three years ago, then it must have
been longer than that since it was
discovered; then surely Mr.. Stoner's
agent did not wait a whole year
after this, before he carried that
sample to Pastor Russeli's study,
from which Mr.. Bonnet got his start.
Don't you think it possible that
Mr.. Bonnet planted and reaped three
crops instead of only two, and if he
has raised three crops he could have
had quite large pile of wheat even
if the yield was no setter than mine?
Yours truly, w. J. WILLIAMS.
P. S. If you don't raise some of
your own, l hope to be able to send
you nice sample next year.

SCARLET FEVER
Eight Children HI at Home
of Anthony Hanrattie.

Disease germs carried by a
wandering kitten Is thought to be
the cause of the scarlet fever plague
in the home OF Anthony Hanrattie,
of~171 Brighton avenue, whose eight
little children have suffered or are
Ill with scarlet fever. DR.. John L..
Lund, attending physician and
health officer OF the Board of Health,
states all serious danger is past and
the little ones will completely re-
cover. Mr.. Hanrattie is a janitor at
the Lincoln Engine Company's 8
house in State street.
1t was about four weeks ago when
the stray kitten appeared and be-
came pet OF the family. Little
Madaline, the oldest child, played
with the animal, perhaps. more than
did any of the other children. She
was first stricken, but was soon fol-
lowed by the entire family, including
the other seven boys and girls, until
even Fred, the little creeping baby,
became Ill with the dreadful disease.
Madaline is only thirteen years old.
No one can find the kitten. There
are no other cases OF scarlet fever in
the city at the present time, accord
ing to the chart in the Board of
Health's Office in city hall.

Either because of darkening skies

Giants trotted on to the field. There

When you take food into a stoma oh that is tired and over-taxed the gas tric juices do not form fast enough to digest it properly. So the food be- comes sour and at once begins to throw off gases. Your stomach be- comes inflated just as surely as if you attached a toy balloon to a gas jet. Then the gases and foul odors issue forth and pollute your breath mak- friends Your tongue quickly becomes coated and you can taste the foulness that is within you.
 Now all this condition is changed almost instantly by a Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablet. This little digester gets busy at once-supplies all the di- gestive juices that were acking-di- gests the food in a jiffy and opens up the clogged stomach and bowels. It also sweetens and refreshes the mu- cous lining of the stomach and bow els and restores peace and content.
 If you will give Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets a chance they will not only sweeten your stomach but also your disposition and you will never have another stomach ill.
 One grain of a single ingredient in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000 grains of food. This saves your stomach and gives it the rest it needs. All muscles require occasional rest if they are ever over-taxed. The stom- ach is no exception to this rule.
 Try a box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and you will wonder how you ever got along without them. They are sold at 50 cents by all druggists everywhere. A trial package will be sent free on request to F. A. Stuart Go. 150 Stuart Bldg. Marshall. Mich.

FORTUNES REMAIN
 AS POSSIBILITIES
 BUT NOTHING MORE
Bridgeporters, Heirs to Large Estates in Europe, Have the Papers But Not the Cash

Every little while some resident of this section receives letter from some part of Europe notifying him that he has inherited a castle in Spain Af fortune of several million francs in some other country. All of the mans neighbors say, "It's just splen- tured in the minds of his friends as the immediate owner of a flock of motor cars and a vast estate with a retinue of servants.
 In February. 1910, John c. Bush, ST.. of 2ss1 Fairfield avenue. received a heir to $9.O00.0o0 left by his grand father in Holland. There were sev- eral other heirs. A Farmer reporter called at 28S1 Fairfield avenue yester- day. A woman who said she was a relative of MT. Bush, ST.. said he had moved to Trumbull. MT. Bush had received some information about the fortune since. but he had no real as- surance that he would ever get 1t be- cause of litigation. Rather than go to Holland in search of the fortune MT. Bush has preferred to live on a Trumbull farm.
 In December, 1909. the friends of Robert H. Kallenbach, of 1521 Fair field avenue. a mechanic employed at the plant of the American Tube & Stamping Co.,, were pleasantly sur prised to hear that Kallenbach and his brother had inherited a fortune of g, ,000, ,000 that had been left by a bachelor uncle in Germany. The un- cle had made his fortune making shoes for the German army by con- tract. The news of Kallenbach's good fortune came at time when indus trial conditions seemed uncertain to all mechanics. Kallenbach was a lucky fellow in the eyes of thousands of people who read of his good for tune.
 The same Farmer reporter who call ed at the Kallenbach home fin 1909 went there yesterday. Mrs. Kal1en- bach who conducts a boarding house. answered to his knock. She said that the heir to a million was at work.
 How did MT. Kallenbach's fortune pan out?" asked the reporter
 "Al right. He has papers which assure him that he will get the money next December. He don't say much about it. but the letters from Ger many say that his uncle made his will so that his nephews could not get the money inside of two years"
 Mrs. Kallenbach said that her hus- band will probably go to Germany to get the money.

Dugmore in the wilds of Africa. The lecture was the first in a course under the auspices of the Bridgeport Teachers Association
 MT. Dugmore's collection of pictures is considered the finest of it's kind in the world and will soon become price less because of the rapid extinction of wild game in Africa. In fact the lecturer explained to his audience that he does not believe it Is possible to duplicate the collection even now.
 The exhibition include pictures of charging rhinoceruses. hippopotami lions. elephans. various members of the antelope tribe. and all the other wild life with which the jung1es of Africa were once replete.
 The pictures were nothing short of wonderful and by their proximity to the animals, showed the manner in which the Photographer had taken his life in his hands. The lecture that accompanied the pictures was deeply interesting

Charles Frohman announces "The Dollar Princess" the new offering at the Park Theatre Friday evening. March 10 as musical comedy. The piece, however, takes one back to the days of comic opera. Yet ''The Dollar Princess is not comic opera. It reincarnates the spirit of that de- lightful form of entertainment inas- much as the music is of much high CT standard than is usual with the present day musical comedies, but the book is full of bright lines and moves with the vigor of the present day speed limit musical plays. Tn the story the authors, Messrs. Willner and Grunbaum, caricature an Ameri- can trust Baron Cowder who has a wI1im for being waited on by titled foreigners, and pays noblemen fancy wages for serving him in menial po- sitions. A delightful little romance introduces itself by the love affair of his daughter and niece for two of the supposed money hunting nobleman who in the end turn out to have mon- ey to spare of their own. In cast ing '"The Dollar Princess MT. .Froh- man has been rr--.su Ior-u.:G1e.
