The Connecticut Berkshire Breed ers Association, by it's secretary, Geo. H. Hunt, of Litchfield, has sent to The Farmer the following request, which explains itself:

 The circular is printed below
 The Berkshire Swine Breeders As sociation of Connecticut is desirous of increasing its membership, and, to that end, takes this opportunity of calling your attention to the fact that there is such an organization in the state. for the furtherance of the interests of it's favorite breed. There can be no doubt that the Berkshire is gaining in popularity in all sec tions of the country, and With the increased interest in corn growing (particularly in the EasD this is as 1t should be.

Doubt Reported Cuts New Haven Road Officials Hear Nothing of Supposed
 Economy Plan

Regarding a published statement yesterday that the New Haven rail- road contemplates a material reduc- tion of its clerical force and reduc- tion of salaries among officials, high official of the road said last night that he knew nothing of it whatever, and had never heard of it before, Other well known officials of the road somewhat lower down said that they had never heard the matter discuss ed. and they believed there was noth- ing in it.
 The story went on to say that there would be a general encouragement of affairs and consolidation of many of the departments under single heads, in order to counteract the Interstate Commerce Commissions refusal to al- low an increase in freight rates.
 It is evident from the information gained that if any such general shake up'' is contempated. it will not be right away.
 Vice President Buckland simply said: "I don't believe it."

 It is possible that less attention is being given to the Governors plea for economy than to his statement that State roads have been built with more reference to wagon traffic than to the heavier automobile use, and that, therefore. they are in danger of going to pieces unless carefully watch ed and made the subject of prompt and thorough repairs. This is in- terpreted as meaning that he is dis satisfied with the policy of Highway Commissioner Macdonald and will not reappoint him.
 Thare is widespread dissatisfaction With many of the roads constructed under the present commissioners su- pervision, and there is still greater dissatisfaction with his neglect of needed repairs. This dissatisfaction is not at all political: it would exist the same if Macdonald were a Demo- crat. It is based upon protracted delays of construction as we'll as up- on the character of construction and the neglect of repairs.
 It is to be hoped not only that the General Assembly will heed Gov. Baldwins plea for economy. but also that he will succeed in finding a suit able and competent successor to High way Commissioner Macdonald

Harper's Weekly which claims to , know that MT. Sheehan would make most useful Senator. advises him to withdraw his candidacy. saying:
 Why not quit? Whats the use ? You can't be elected. The paper in the Albany safe. signed, sworn to, sealed. and delivered. proves that Grant that you ought to be. As sume even that an uninfluenced ma- 5ority of the Democratic members want you.
 When you're licked, quit. That's the thing to do.
 It's hard luck. There is no doubt about that And we are sorry We should like to see you elected We know you would make a most useful Senator. and give the Democratic party what it most needs-efficient direction.

Cambridge. Mass. March 10-The Harvard Lampoon. which was founded with the avowed purpose of recording the humor of students at Harvard, and which has ever since tried with trenchant and sarcastic pen to hit off the foibles of our little world and to open a field where the last jest at the club table and the latest undergrad uate freak may fine a fitting place., got out a life" edition this week.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?

What does it mean. this pushing of some 20.eo0 soldiers on the double quick to the Mexican frontier, this hurried dispatch of armored cruisers 5o the Mexican coast, this concentra- ton of marines at Guantanamo. and the sending of torpedo boats and sub marines to the west coast of Mexico? It would all be intelligible if invasion of Mexico were contemplated. but the Government denies any such inten- ton IL would also be intelligible if invasion of Mexico were contemplated Ey some European or Asiatic power. zrd our Government were about to aid in Mexico's defence.
 The insurrectos in Mexico are doing J-sore or less injury to American and foreign interests. but the inability of tae Diaz Government to deal with taem is not yet provs1- Japan desires a coaling station. or a naval sSase. on Mexico's western coast. but it is scarcely presumable that the Japanese Government would under take to intervene in Mexico as a means of effecting that object alone. By the way. why does Japan desire a naval base on Mexico's coast? Its only use would come in the event of q war with this country and with the purpose of blockading or destroying the Panama Canal.
 Our Government asserts that the only purpose of all these apparent preparations for war. is military prac- tice maneuvers- This might explain the military mobilization, but it fails to explain the naval activity. The | apparent acquiescence of the Mexican Government is another as yet unex- plained feature. Very unusual is it for one Government to thus acquiesce ! in the massing of troops on its front Ter and in a naval demonstration on its coasts by another power. Ordin- arily. such a prsGGdure means war on short notice.
 At the present time, it is an mex plicable situation. Probably Presi- dents Taft and Diazr know it's mean ing. and the public can only await their pleasure for an explanation.
 A curious feature is that the Gov ernment's move follows SO closely the Congressional session which ended on Saturday last

BELL" HAYWOOD
 TO SPEAK HERE
Socialist Laborite of Couer d'Alene Fame Brought
 by Machinists
Communicated

William D. Haywood, formerly Gen eral- Secretary of the Western Feder- ation of Miners, one of Roosevelt s undesirable citizens" made famous by his connection with the great labor struggles in Colorado, is to address mass meeting arranged by Bridge port Lodge, No. 24, Brotherhood of Machinists on Wednesday, March 18th, in Lincoln Hall 62 Cannon St., Bridgeport.
 Big Bill Haywood, as he is familiar ly known, has recently returned from tour of Europe and has since been addressing enormous crowds through out the West. Last week he came East to address meetings arranged by the Brotherhood of Machinists in New York and New Jessey.
 The subject of Hay~ood's address is ''Industrialism, The Coming Vic- tory of Labor
 The Brotherhood of Machinists is a young, but very aggressive organiza- tion and is rapidly extending its pow CT. It aims at a complete organiza- ton along industrial lines of all the workers in the metal industry.
 Recently the Brotherhood of Ma chinists affiliated with the Interna- tional Metallurgists Federation, an or ganization of all the European metal workers. It is the only organization in this country having such affilia- tions.
 The sentiment among the machinists for a more compact form of organiza- tion among the workers in the metal industry, is being realized. Haywood advocates industrial organization in every industry and this is one of the reasons that he has been secured by the machinists to address their meet ing. A special effort is being made to get all the workers in the metal industry in and around Bridgeport to hear Haywood.
 f Robert M. Lackey, General Secre- tary of the Brotherhood of Machinists will also address the meeting. Admis- sion is free.

Most of the attacks upon Ballinger's official acts while land commissioner and Secretary of the Interior have appeared in magazines. President Taft interprets them as covert attacks upon him. As he held Ballinger in office despite them. they may rightly be classed as attacks upon him. It is. to say the least. unfortunate that his letter accepting Ballinger's resig- nation. which was almost vitriolic in the Secretary's defence. appeared be- fore the attempt to curb the maga- zines with an increased postage rate could be forgotten. for the public are quite likely to connect the two events.

Harvard Men Are Lax
Report Shows 2,308 Were Absent from Lectures
 75,22O Times

Cambridge. Mass, March s10.-The authorities at Harvard are trying to invent a plan to compel students to attend classroom lectures and recita- tions. Figures just made public by Dean Hurlbutt show that during the past year 2 308 Harvard students were absent from their classroom work 75,220 times. This represents an average of~ thirty days of the college year in which each student was ab- sent from work.
 Compulsory attendance is the rule at Harvard, but most of the students, says The Harvard Bulletin, the alumni weekly, regard this rule as a we'll intentioned fiction.
