IMMENSE SCHOOLS OF MACK
 EREL

IL indicates that the price of mack erel is to be reasonable when the rackerel strike in shore as they have not done before for twenty years. An eastern Atlantic port contemporary says:
 According to those who have fol- lowed the movements of the mackerel Tor the last quarter century condi- tons are now the same as they were twenty years ago when immense shoals were taken off the Maine coast and when it was possible to catch plenty Of tinkers. SO called, in Casco bav and elsewhere. The mackerel have struck in and from Gloucester to Portland vessels are being recalled from the halibut, cod and haddoclx fishing and sent after this most freak ish and elusive of fish. Two schoon- CTS on a mackerel catching trip have stocked 5000 in the last three weeks and each member of the crew has re- ceived ss2s. So it is get after them while they are here, for tomorrow they may be far away. They boycotted the Maine coast twenty years ago. and mo- body knew where they went. nor do they know now why they have re- turned. Could there be a fisherman farseeing enough to discern method in the mackerers madness and locate the schools each year, he would soon be a millionaire"
 There ought to be good fishing for tinker" mackerel all along shore dur ing the present season.

SENATOR PARK ON WOOL.
No Excuse for Having an Abandoned
 Farm in the State.


 The statement made recently in the senate in the debate on the dog law by Senator Park of the Twentieth dis trict in reference to the wool industry of the state has attracted considerable attention throughout Connecticut. It was brief speech and it was very practical and buSinesslike. Senator Park referred to the damage done to sheep by dogs and pointed out how destructive it was to the wool growing industry of the state. He had been told by Connecticut farmers, to whom he had suggested the raising of sheep. that they could not engage in thai form of agriculture on account of the damage by dogs. Senator Park said that Connecticut wool is one of the best wools in the world and that there IS ready market for it, no matter how large the supply becomes. He compared it to other wools which have worldwide reputation to the advan- tage Of the Connecticut product Sen atcr Park is well qualified to speak on the subject. He is in the wool busi- ness and there is no part of it with which he is not familiar The death or an old resident of the town of Lyme, this week, recalled the state ment of Senator Park in the senate. This resident conducted a large farm and made speciality of raising sheep. The Tact is Connecticut is a much better state for agricultural purposes than most people suppose No less an authority than former Lieut. -Gov. Ev- erett J. Lake has made the statement that timber can be grown at a profit m this state. Some years ago he stat ed at hearing of the committee on appropriations of the general assembly mat tlmoer cut after d growth of forty years would pay six per cent per an nun on the money invested Talk of neserted farms in Connecticut There IS no excuse for having an abandoned 1arm in the state.

THE STATE PROBATION SYSTEM

Nothing can be so good or helpful that 1t will not have enemies and get hard hit. The probation law is de- nounced by Chief of Police Cowles of New Haven; and it is doubtful if it really has the sympathy of many po- lice heads in the state.
 It is always a help to useful and efficient law to have it assaiIed, for that is what calls out it's value in op- eration and wakes up the friends who are determined to keep it in force.
 It Is natural that the police who are daily i'm contact with crime and erim- Inals should lack that sympathetic feeling which the authors and support CTS of this law have for the victims of vice and environment A few failures in the endeavor to raise unfortunates Co higher and better moral and so- ciai level are to be expected; and one success may consistently be regarded as balancing two failures; but this is not the record of the system. for the larger per cent. of saved than lost tells for it's wisdom and it's perma- hence.
 The Bristol Press. referring to Chief Cowls' crack at the system, says: Speaking from an intimate acquaint- ance with the working of the proba- ton system. covering a number of years. we have no hesitatio in say ing most emDhatlcally that it is a sue cess and n great credit to the intelli- gence and conscience of Connecticut. Furthermore. it is destined to be more helpful in the future than it has been in the past. for experience counts here as everywhere else
 Probation Is founded upon humane principles, and its purpose is the bet terment of mankind; and looked at humanely or economically it gives promise of good and lasting results.

destination.
The roads were very bad, and the
car, making good speed up hill and
down dale, over rocks and ruts,
seemed bound to shake overheard it's
occupants.
After a little of this jolting the
chauffeur turned to his fare and de-
handed:

teeth?"
What impudence!" exclaimed
That's x.
"Oh, ma'am, 1t is not from impu-

When a boy presents IN idea that

he farms that you have worked SO
gard to pay for.
If farming has not paid in our case
by all means give the boy a chance
to begin without you handicap.
|"What was good enough for me is
good enough for the boy" is a maxim
unworthy of a New England farmer.
Give the boy a chance at an agricul-
tural education. and he will help you

Lock of Washington's Hair.

lliS boSAoA1 14SioAas
Inquiry was lately made in a west
ern state Masonic journal as to what
had become of The lock Of George
Washington's hair which his widow.
Martha Washington. gave to the Ma
sons Of Massachusetts,, a historic fact
generally known to eastern Masons,
but esteemed to be more or less apoc-
ryphal among members of the craft less
familiar with Masonic traditions and
history.
The lock Of hair is inclosed in a gold
en- urn made by Paul Revere, nce
grand master Of the Masons Of Massa-
cilusetts, and Kept II the safe deposit
vaults Of the grand lodge, taken out at
such time only as a new grand master
is installed, when the urn and its con-
tents are delivered by h retiring
grand master to his successor, with an
especial charge safely to keep 1t and as
safely transmit it to his successor.
This ceremonial is not 1nfreqNently the
last item of the proceedings OF the in
H~tallation of the grand officers.
How the lock of Washington's hair
came to be given is told in the simple
Rnd brief records Of the grand lodge,
preserved in excellent form. Washing
ton and the Massachusetts Masonic
fraternity were in especially close rela-
tons. In fact, the part the Masons of
this state played in the events leading
to the independence of the colonies was
signal. They wereZleading men IN
everything, and the Boston tea party
was made up nearly wholly Of Masons,
This Is the inscription, hand
wrought by Paul Revere, or the front
of the urn:
