When player discovers the catch" he
must not disclose it, but simply show by the
words he gives that he has found it.
Those who are ''in the secret must avoid
as much as possible giving nouns in the

For instance, instead of giving newspapers

When number of words have been given
wrong by the players, the next PLAYER under
standing the game is not to regard those
words, but IN giving his word he uses the
last letter of the last word correctly given.
For instance, in the foregoing illustration
the last word correctly given was geese"
therefore no word can be considered correct
unless it begins with Il.

eminent scientist who makes the dis
lcovery
Emanating from such source,
great Importance is always attached to
the information. However. most of us
are old enough to remember several Of
these discoveries having been made, all

not forgotten that the outcome was

is Duffys Pure Malt Whiskey, which
has been before the public since 1860.

COMMISSION FILES
ITS YEARLY REPORT
And This Includes the Report of Prof.
A. w. Morrill,, Entomologist for
the Territory.

Through the courtesy Of \. w. Nor
rill. territorial entOmologist. the Re
publican is i'm receipt of the third an
nual report of the Arizona Horticul-
tural commission. Foster H. Rock
well Of Phoenix, Prof. Robert II.
Forbes OF Tucson and Andrew Kim
ball of Thatcher are the members of
this commission.
The report deals with a variety of
subjects. including a record Of the of
fetal acts of the commission. its fl
nancial condition, the inspection of i'm
ported plants. the territorial fair ex-
hibit, vegetable crop pests. fruit tree
insects and related matters
In the detailed part of the report
there are many matters that will he
of wide interest, not only to the agri-
culturist and fruit grower. but to the
general reader as we'll For instance,
attention is called To the danger of
the introduction of tree pests through
the importation of citrus nursery
stock; but in this connection it is
said the quality of the stock sent into
the territory has been much improved

In the report Of the entomologist.
made to the commission, there are
many matters of Importance. For in
stance. under the heading of "Inspec-
ton of Imported Plants" he calls at
tention To the fact that during the
last year 622 shipments of plants were
received in three of the horticultural
districts Insects were found in only
80 shipments as compared with II the
preceding year. Ii must also be re-
membered that for the past year the
number of shipments was vastly
greater than in the year preceding.
1t is shown further that not only
was there material reduction in the
number Of infected shipments. but al
so the number of the insects them
selves was very small. Scale insects
were found in six shipments. The
most troublesome pest was the peach
borer.
Prof. Morrill, has considerable to say
on the subject of the alfalfa wcevil, a
matter that received a great deal of
attention in the territory last spring
The entomologist does not apprehend
any necessary difficulty with this
pest, principally because of the dis
lance of our alfalfa fields from Utah
where the weevil exists in greatest
numbers. The danger of the introduc-
ton of this pest lies in freight ship
ments
To prevent the possible introduction
of this pest it is strongly urged that
quarantine against freight ship
ments of household goods from the in
fected districts be established. 1t Is
pointed out that this would not entail
fraction of the hardship that would
be caused should the weevii ono" be-
come established in this valley.

 The second largest and fattest young turkey was brought in by Mrs. c. H. Iathrop of North Franklin. This bird was pound and a half less than the Ledyard prize winner, tipping the scales at Is pounds. Mrs Lathrop' g check was for $9S0, the second prize having been $5. This turkey will fur nish the dinner at the Sheltering Arms as a gift from The Bulletin.
 The buster of the bunch, the largest and fattsst turkey m the two coun- ties over a year old, was raised by James E. Lord of Stonington. This big bird weighed 30 12 pounds and took the thlrd prize, which was $5. MT Lord received for the bird, to- sether with his prize, the sum of S14-76. This turkey will go to the New London county home in this city for the Thanksgiving day dinner.

Better than last year was the dis play of native turkeys entered in The Bulletin contest at Somers Bros on Tuesday. There were about thirty in ali sent in from the two counties and representing eight towns. The birds were large and plump. and showed that the Eastern Connecticut farmers understand how to raise the popular Thanksgiving bird. That all turkeys are raised in the west or farther north was thoroughly disproyed. and no nic- CT looking birds could be desired.
 The weighing in occupied some time and attracted no little attention, and the prize winners as they hung in front of the market. with the blue rib bons flying. caused many to stop and take notice of the home raised turks They were the three latest turkeys In Eastern Connecticut, and well they might attract attention and make the onloolzer wish for the moment that he was down for a place at the dinner table at the institutions where they are to be served. All were matched and grown in this end of the state. and will remain here, as all were bought whether they took a prize or not and the highest market price of 32 cents a pound was paid for them.
 The first prize of $10 was offered for the fattest young turkey and this went to Isaac c. Geer of Ledyard, who presented one weighing Is 1-2 pounds. MT. Geer took away a check for s15.2S, the prize and the market price for the turkey. This turkey, by the terms of the contest. goes to the Rock Nook home, The Bulletin having provided

NEW LONDON WILL GET

Vice President Campbell of the New Haven railroad at 6 conference with a subcommittee of the New Lon don harbor improvement board, which has in charge the plans leading to the expenditure of $1,000,000 appropriat- ed by the general assembly for the erection of big docks and warehouses in the Whaling Town for ocean plying vessels, agreed to make u same rates on shipments from New London to western points as apply to Boston. Therefore a big stride toward the de- velopment of New London asa port of entry has been made. The Grand Trunk officials. which line owns the Central Vermont that enters New Lon don. have granted the same conces- sion.
 If the states 5000, 900 is spent in the erection of wharves and ware houses, the committee was informed, the railroad company will put the same freight rates on shipments from New London to the south and west as applies to shipments out of Boston.
