~heIpley and the Spanish MackereI


 George VanDeusen harnessed up his fast motor boat, last Friday, took George Whelpley of South Norwalk, aboard. and went skimming up the Housatonic river, to the codfish banks this side of Ashley Falls, where the good ship was anchored and Whelpley was given an opportunity to fish. It wasn't much of day for fishing, and the Norwalker was just wishing out loud that he had brought along his clam net, oyster snare and lobster spear. when all of sudden something grabbed his hook and gave him an exciting and lively song and dance for few minutes, when the line broke and the creature got away. As soonas Whelpley could recover his wlnd he asked:
 "What in. the name of Jonah was that?"
 "I think that must be German carp; they show up here. sometimes" replied VanDeusen. -l
 s'German nothingp' exclaimed Whelp- ley. "No Dutch fish could walk Spanish like that fellow-he's got mackerel blood in him that's whatl It would take a band of cowboys to round him up"
 Fishing for bullheads was duller than ever, after that, and the expedition soon returned home.

Country VS.. City
For Educating Children

idea. Brains and character are
not developed by artificial society
associations. The sidewalk and
the city pavement are poor soil
for the growth of intelligence
The most acute and shrewdest of
brains develop IN men whose feet
come in intimate contact with
mother earth Taking the child
to the city to educate him is
neither important nor wise as it
appears. His attention is given
to many unessential thi"gs which
make for artificial culture. He
develops receptive faculties and
loses the power to produce any
thing of value. In the struggle
for existence and in survival of
the fittest a country bred and edu-
Gated boy has the advantage. His
nearest competitor in the city is
the newsboy or bootblack who
learns the principles of comPe-
tition in business.
Again we hear much about the
comforts and pleasures OF life in
the cities 1t is true that in con-
densed centers OF population
many of the conveniences and
comforts have been available to
people of moderate means
through community CO operation.
But here also the philosophy of
our reasoning may not go deep
enough to show its falacy. II one
is only seeking personal pleasure
through mental and physical ex.
element and lazy or indifferent
comfort rather than having at
heart the advancement of the race
toward greater perfection. that
fellow is going wrong. There is
great truth handed down TO us in
the saying OF the greatest prophet
of all time that "he who shall
seek TO save his soul shall loose
it,.
Ii would seem that the inceased
comfort and ease OF physical life
in the cities should increase the
length of life and it is possible
that it would do so were there not
other conditions which Offset the
apparent gain. AT any rate we
believe in securing every comfort
and advantage possible in our
country homes and with the de-
velopments of invention there are
few of the comforts of the city
which may not be had in the
rural districts. The city with its
horde of middlemen. its army Of
insurance men. real estate men
and other predatory parasites too
numerous to mention is a collas
sal burden, the support of which
IN its final analysis may be traced
to the wealth producers on our
farms.
May we not look forward to
a lessening of this evil when our
producers shall have learned the
great principle of cooperation
and also that of contribution in
such a way that they may be ap-
piled to their business. This will
result in the larger development
of rural life and relieve the con-
gestion and lack of balance which
is becoming SO apparent in our
cities. "The stone which was re.
jec,ed shall become the head of
the corner" Agriculture. the
fundamental business OF the world
will be exalted and find true
place in the esteem and support
of the people. Our new west
should profit by being developed
at time when advantage may be

One reason for the increase is the large

when that class of bills totaled only $685.
