GOOD OYSTER SET.
Connecticut Growers are Looking for
 An Excellent Yield.

The oyster growers are quite confl- dent that their work of planting and shelling the beds during the past few months Is to be rewarded with a good set. With the coming of August, the growers always have to take the anx- ious seat and speculate as to whether the oyster seed will spawn, or thei1 summers work and large expenditure is to go for naught and no set Ex- aminations of samples from the beds have convinced some that good set is on, while others, while quite sure that success is coming, say it is too early to give an opinion.
 In addition to this the dealers have fine supply of three-year old oys- ters on hand and this insures fine stock for shucking and shipping dur ing the coming fall and winter. A good set in 1909 is chiefly responsible for this good outlook.
 Some who are not veterans at the oyster business arc somewhat surpris- cd that 1t looks well for a set on &C., count of the cool weather of the past few weeks, But the veteran oyster grower has long ago ceased to reckon on any particular phase of weather as likely to aid or damage the crop, ThS single element that they are quite sure brings disaster are heavy rains and wind about the first of August. These invariably wash sand onto the beds when the wind is from the right direction and prevent a spawn by GOV ering the seed, Nc such storms have bothered the oyster growers this sea son.

LOCAL BIRD HUNTERS
 EXPECT GOOD SEASON
Quail and Partridge Are Reported
 rywhsre-Shorter Season Helps Increase.


 That the fall of 1912 will afford the best sport for the bird hunter of any season in the past 10 or 12 years IS the general opinion of the hunter farmers and other sportsmen who have had occasion to visit the woods ana fields and observe conditions, For the mast two or three years the Old Bop
 ihite has been steadily increasing 1T numbers and today there are prob ably as many in the state as before the hard winters of eight or ten years ago. The past two winters have been most favorable to the-game birds and feed has been plentiful. favorable spring gave the young birds opportu nifty to thrive and locks of young quail and partridge are reported every where. One quails nest, containing 2T eggs, a most unusual number, was reported at Ayen's Gap short time ago.
 The two weeks which have been cut off from the hunting season doubtless served to increase the number of birds left over last fall flor seed" Al though the first week in October. which is now included in the clcse season, is not greatly valued by the hunter, in the last week of November, which is now also a part of the close season, in the past, there were prob ably more birds killed than in any other two weeks.
 The woodcock is being rapidly thin ned out. Being migrating birds, the native woodeock usually leave for tho south early in the season, so that practically all the woodcock killed in this section are birds from farther north, dropping down for day or two of rest, while on their way down the coast Owing to the fact that they are bombarded by sportsmen from l Canada to Florida, they are rapidly l decreasing in numbers

Raising More Field Corn.

In riding through the country one cannot help notice the increased acre age of field corn. Nearly every farm has a silo built near it's barn, and this means that large crop of corn is nee essary to fill it. The higher price of grain and the value of cornstalks for fodder make the silo 8 necessity to farmers.

Their work led up to the pure

AS peace-dove in the settle
ment of the great anthracite coal
strike in 1902 he first attracted
wide attention. But long before,
he was famous at Georgetown
university.
He was 20 when he decided he
needed college education. When
he was graduated they awarded
him "summa cum laude" honors.
He was the best in the class of
112. In so years Neill was the
only student to draw such praise.
He carried home seven of the
eight medals offered.
To picture him you must mag
inc long, slim man, over six
feet tab, with a kindly face COW
cred with short, thin beard.
Absolutely frank, thoroughly sin
cere, he inspires trust and conf
dence without an effort. If a fight
is necessary he can stand up with
the best of them, but he usually
avoids trouble without sacrificing
anything.
When the truth is wanted Neill
can go and find it with eyes as

He doesn't bring back FOOLS gold,
nor does he hid the real stuff in

and presents It in a glittering

OF FOUR ACES
There always has been one
point of extreme danger in our
national game Of poker.
Since the days when poker was
young it has been recognized as
dangerous to hold four aces-es-
.pecially when one of the other
players happens to hold fifth
ace.
In Arizona, holding four aces
in this manner has been known to
cause the sudden and unlamented
decease of the holder.
Last night a gentleman tried
new trick in this business of
holding four aces at little poker
party in Victor Barrens' road
house, near Hammond, Ind.
And he tried this new stunt on
the wrong sort of man, namely:
James Philips, OF Kentucky,
where they are born holding
cards in their hands.
Phillips had been playing for
some time, and had been most re-
markedly unlucky. Whenever he
held a big hand, lucky gent sit
ting opposite him held one just
little bigger.
Phillips was getting peeved,
when at last he thought he saw
his chance, He held the jack, ten,
nine and eight of diamonds. 1t
looked like q good chance for
straight flush.
PhilIins drew nne rard-the
