Judge Wilson cheered CD us up
the other day with the following
story: 1t seems a young man with a
Quaker friend got married and his
friend in congratulating him said:
well, my young friend, thee is
now at the end of thy troubles"
The young man shook the Quak-
er's hand and didn't see him again
for a year.
Then, CHANGING to meet the Quak-
er on the street he rushed up to him
and said: "See here, didn't you ten
me that when l got married l was
at the end of my troubles?'
YES" answered the Quaker
gravely, Il did tell thee that, but L
didn't tell thee which end and thou
seemest to have taken the near end"

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

New windows that stick may be made to move readily by applying paraffin to the grove in which the windows slide. If stuck with paint, run case-knife all around the edges first.
 A handful of coarse salt and cup full of vinegar shaken up well in A cloudy decanter will clean it like magic. Rinse well with very hot water several times to remove all taste of salt.
 If you wish to iron a starched gar- ment and have not much time t0 wait, try this scheme. Sprinkle. roll in a damp cloth or paper and place in a cool even for about five minutes to steam. It will then iron nicely.
 In separating the whites from the yolks of eggs it sometimes happens that a portion of the yolk will break into the white. This will prevent the white from beating to a froth, but it can be removed by wringing a clean cloth out of warm water and gently touching the spot of yolk that has dropped into the white with a folded point; the yolk will cling to the damp cloth.

Cut 0ut Spare Men
Trolley Company in Hartford Issues Order From Which Men May Appeal

Hartford, Oct. 10.-Trolleymen of this city are. considerably worked up over an order just posted by the com pany which stipulates that regular men shall finish their runs one hour earlier in the evening so that they may be on hand at the barns to take out the shop extra.
 According to the new order, which goes into effect next Sunday, the night men will relieve the day men on the runs affected by the order one hour earlier. It is proposed by means of the new order to do away largely with the spare" man system It is said, today, that a number of the mo- tormen and conductors are dissatis- fled with the new order. The men say they will be forced to work a considerable period overtime ana many of them are protesting at the longer hours. There is some talk of taking up the question of the new or- der over the heads of the local man. agement by bringing it to headquar- ters at New Haven.
 Under the present system many Of the spare men have been working on- ly two or three hours a day. This leads to trouble, as the company be- lieves much of the dishonesty prac- ticed by the spare conductors has been, prompted by the small amount of money and the poor living they have been making. The company now proposes to do away with many of the spare men, retaining only so many as will be required to fill the places of the regular crews who are off duty through illness or some other cause.

 A ''Georgette', model was combin- ation of black velvet, dull gold lace and pink shaded ostrich. With this was worn a beautiful golden scarf beaded with steel.
 From Carolin Reboux was a small hat on the poke order made of sill yer lace the brib being entirely of the lace and of course semi-transparent. This had uniform trimming of dull purple ribbon.
 Another hat illustrating the vogue of purple was of black velvet and purple satin, the satin being laid in folds which encirc1ed the crown. Ap- piled flat to the upper brim was a band of silver bugles.
 A smart tailored hat, also of black velvet, had a severe trimming of ivory white moire ribbon which was p1ait- ed
 The tendency toward large hats taking the place of small ones is shown by a hat designed by Esther Meyer. It is a black velvet press ed hat, trimmed with white uncue velvet, white wings and numfdf. In practically every display, while the majority of hats may be small and medium -sized, there are some inter esting large hats being shown and incidentally bought. Many of these are trimmed with paradise and run of course into considerable money; still others have huge bows of either very wide ribbon or of piece goods with many bands, of fur introduced on or around the crown. While there are not many mushrooms shown

WATER MAINS ON
 THE FERRY ROAD Long Sought Improvement Will Develop Desirable Section
 For Residences
Special to The rarrner.l

:, iStratford, Oct. 1o-Edward Dufour is circulating petition to have the mains of the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company. extended 5000 feet on the Ferry road This improvement has long been the aim of residents in this section, and the prospects are now bright for its accomplishment. MT. Dufour has worked for months on the project and only few more names are needed. City water in this sec ton means more residences in a desir- able section of the town which has never been developed. It means the development Of one of the most desar- able sections of the town which has been avoided by home seekers beca use it lacked Improvements. MT. Dufour is confident that the mains will be laid. this fall. He hopes that it will be done before the road Is macadam- ized. an improvement which has al ready been ordered. The custom which has prevailed in this town as we'll as and then tearing it up to lay mains can be avoided in this instance. The Ferry road, an historical old spot, will be sought for. residences when the needed improvements are made. The increase in the value of the property on the road as a result of the im- provements will compensate the own- CTS and also figure in the grand list of the town. MT. Dufour deserves the assistance of the residents directly af- fected and also of everyone in the town who is interested in it's develop mQnt

NEW ENGLAND
 VERSUS THE WEST
Claims First Place in Apples, Corn
 and Potatoes.

From the office of the State Board of Agriculture of Massachusetts comes the information that the New England States have run up their flag, and will enter into agricultural competition with the northwest, the southwest. the middle west and the Pacific coast. On the subject of ap- ples, corn, maple sugar potatoes ana tobacco they will admit no superiors. and have announced their intention of entering into the competition for the apple, corn and potato prizes at Exposition to be held in Madison Square Garden November to 12. These prizes are thousand dollar sil- yer cup for corn, donated by the In- ternational Harvester Company ot America; 8 thousand dollar silver cup for potatoes, donated by Arthur E. StilweIl, president of the Kansas City Mexico and Orient Railway; and five hundred dollars in gold for apples, do- mated by Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific Railway.
 We expect" says J. Lewis Els worth, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, "to show that New England fruit is second to none in the country in attractiveness of ap- pearance, and first in quality and fla vor. The apples will be in part the prize winning fruit from the New 1 the week previous to the New York Land Show, and in part carefully se- iected fruit purchased especially for the New York exhibit.
 '"The corn exhibit will be mainly of the Flint varieties, the favorites fo New England because of their short growing season and certainty of maturing, and will be designed to show that attractive and well ma- tured corn can be produced in New England. In addition we shall show statistics to prove that the record yield per acre, up to the present time, is held by these same varieties of Flint corn, grown in New England.
 .@sThe potatoes will be the famous Maine potatoes from the Aroostock region, where the potato industry has caused a. land boom during the last few years that has sent prices for farm lands up to a par with those obtained for any agricultural lands in the country, except that in bear ing orchards These potatoes lead the world in attractive appearance. fine quality and ready sale.
 Maple sugar will be obtained from Vermont We propose to show the farmers of the south and west one product in which they cannot compete with New England, in ad- dition to those in which we can com pete with them in yield per acre, price received and quality of the pro- duct The tobacco exhibit will show the various sorts and kinds of tobacco grown in the Connecticut valley"

SOLID TIRES FOR AUTO TRUCKS
(By F.. F. Phillips, Manager Solid Tire Department United Etates
 Tire CompanY.l


 (By F.. F. Phillips, Manager Solid
 Tire Department United Etates
 Tire Company
 A fact admitted by manufacturers and emphasized by truck owners is that the tire is one feature of motor truck equipment which has long needed expert attention.
 Insofar as the tires themselves are concerned wonderful improvement has been shown in compromising methods and general development during the past three or four years. In fact, the continued improvement of the solid tire has made possible the phenomenal growth of the motor truck industry. ,,is In the matter of mileage returns tires are yielding a very satisfactory service at the pres ent time. But when tire wears out or comes off as it must, occasionally, the task of replacement presents so many involved complications that there is continuous suggestion of the need of some form of demountable fastening.
 ing it is 6 good blacksmith's job to put on a solid tire. Not only must the tire itself be replaced, but the wheel must be taken off and the bearings disarranged. What is the result? The truck must be laid up
 
 being looked after and the owner los es its services. His delivery system is impaired in consequence.
 There is another objectionable feature in connection with this system of making tire replacements. Unless the work of changing the wheel is done by an expert repair man the bearings are apt to be improperly adjusted and the parts damaged. Un- satisfactory truck service follows and eventually the owner will have a large repair bill for general overhauling of the hub mechanism.
 An important question which must be considered in connection with truck operation is time. The truck should follow schedule. If it does not complications are almost sure to follow which result in an actual loss delivery defeat the real purpose Of tke truck and that is why it is so urgent that we should have a de- mountable tire that can be changed by an ordinary workman in short space of time.
 Supposing a truck loses a tire sew eral miles from point of delivery. It is necessary, of course, to get anOth- CT wheel to the truck and the own CT must carry in stock extra wheels wheeel rAches the disabled truck af- ter a. long delay it must be put on and the bearings adjusted. Here Is another big loss of time at the ex- pense Of the owner.
 Of course it is possible to carry spare wheel on the truck to meet just such emergencies as the one cit, ed but this is very unsatisfactory for the reason that a spare wheel is not only awkward but adds considerably to the weight of the load the truck must carry. On fve-ton truck fit- ted with dual solid rear tires the wheel with its two tires will weigh between 600 and 700 pounds. Hence the simple deduction that it is not a handy thing to have around. And even if the spare wheel could be carried a great loss of time is involved in taking off one wheel and putting on another. Fur thermore every truck driver is not capable of. doing the. work and .

AUTO CRASHES
 INTO CARRIAGE
Especial to The Farmer ]


 Southport, Oct. 10.-Joseph Hill of Easton met with an unfortunate &C., cident yesterday morning while pass ing through the northern part of this town. when he ran into the rear of large wagon belonging to the B. D.. Pierce company of Bridgeport, with his automobile. It was about 8 o'clock in the morning when Hill was going toward Bridgeport with his machine and the steam gathered in the windshield so that it was neces- sary to wipe the glass off every few minutes. As he was going along at g. fair rate of speed the steam gath cred on the glass and as he bent to wipe it off, he ran into something, and all were thrown to the ground. When things were strengthened out it was found that they had hit the B. D. Pierce wagon from the rear. The auto was occupied by several girls as we'll as Mir. Hiu who were all cut about the body but not ser iously. They were taken away in a carriage later. The auto was smash ed so that it required a pair of horses to draw it away. The wagon was also smashed:
