Bed Bugs Keep Rooms
 From Rentinu

Many desirable rooms don t rent for the simple reason that they are known to be infested with Bed Bugs. Spend 9 cents and clean your home, and your rooms will rent. Tell the public your house has been cleaned with Cyrus Presto Killer and the applicant for rooms will be satisfied. There is nothing better made, noth- ing so clean to use and noth- ing so harmless to human beings-it does not burn. Try 8 can 25 cents, it is worth money to you.

 PREPARING TO FOLLOW

Washington. May 22-While Senator Cranes announcement that he would expire at the expiration of his pres ent term. next March, caused consid- erable surprise at the capitol, discus sion of his action. today, disclosed the belief among Senators that several other members of that body may fol- low Cranes example.
 If they do so, it will all be on ac- count of the primary. In Massachu- setts, Senator said today, the fight was almost as much Roosevelt against Crane as Roosevelt against Taft.
 Senator Crane is chairman of the Senate rules committee and one of the few remaining members of the ''old guard" once so powerful in Sem ate counsels.

The fish varied less than half pound in weight. The catch attracted much attention at the center where they were exhibited to everybody.
 The supper given by the Rebekahs at Odd Fellows hall last night sus- tained the reputation of this as an organization of real cooks. There was an abundance of all kinds of eatables in surprising variety. The center of attraction was the immense pot of genuine Boston baked beans supplied by Mrs. Nellie Wheeler. The pot held nearly a bushel of the delicious Bos- ton dish and everyone who saw it wondered where an oven could be found in which to bake it.
 The selectmen have called a special meeting of the voters of the town for May 2S, at 8 p. m., in response to three petitions concerning the widen ing of California street, repairs to Bruce avenue, and establishing . width of 12 feet on each side of the trolleys on the Ferry road. A report from the fire department gives the limit of available hose at 65 feet and the town will be asked to provide enough to make the present hydrants available wherever possible.
 A large number of Stratford young people attended the dance at the Park City Rink last night, of which Prof. Shaw of this town is the manager.

Scandalous rumors have been current for some time af- fecting the Queen as we'll as the King. One of the stories is to the effect that the Queen discovered a liaison be- tween the King and a maidservant, and that she fired a revolver shot at the latter. Suits are being prepared against the disseminators of the stor- ies, which are declared to be wholly without foundation. The persons against whom the suits are being brought are not named

STAMFORD
BARN FOR HUNTINGTON
 ROAD SCHOOL PERHAPS
Defects in System For Trans porting Children.
Special to The Farmer)

Stratford, May 22-The demand oi the people on Huntington road for a school has caused thought The town voted to locate. there the structure taken from the rear of Center school but the selectmen, with characteristic contempt for the will of the voters, located the structure in Avon Park Now comes a scarcely formulated scheme to use the barn on the Sellech property, which would have to be bought and paid for. But why not one of the two school houses in the consolidation?
 That Selleck property is a ghost that doesn't down. There has always been plan to buy it for High school purposes, but the townspeople don't want it. Better can be done for less money.
 Many people have come to the con- clusion that some improved method should be devised for the transporta- tion of children to school. This ser- vice cost N,26S3O, last year. Select man Fred Nettleton got $5S9.4O, the Connecticut Co. $67O and Mrs. Kelley, $s.90. The requisition for the coming year is $1,500.
 Main street from Barnum avenue to Paradise Green is about the poorest piece of road in the civilized world.
 
 trians are complaining continually about it. Those who have occasion to use the road daily are expecting every day to hear of an accident which will cost the town money. It would seem that the advance in the knowledge of road building would reach the present administration in Stratford. The time honored method of scraping the ref use in the gutters into the middle of the road only to be washed back again in the first rain, still holds it's own in this town. It pays to build good road and keep it in repair A large proportion of the money spent on the roads is wasted. A comparison be- tween Main. street north and that south of Paradise Green gives fair illustration of this theory. Eph. Wakeley when selectman in 1S97-98 built the road from the Green to Co- lumbus Farm. He used good clean gravel and it has stood the. test It is now as good a piece of road as there is in the town. Main street at the center should be oiled immed- lately. The recent high winds have blown the dust about and made life miserable for the merchants and peo pie on the street. It is believed that enough money was spent last year to make some kind of showing on the

KELLY ANNOUNCES
 DRASTIC CRUSADE FOR FULL MEASURE

Dennis Kelly becomes the sealer, after June 1. For this office 1,7OO has been appropriated, all that Mayor Wilson asked for at the meeting of the Board of Apportionment when the matter came up. The salary of the sealer Is $1,500 a year, to be taken from that appropriation. This leaves $200 with which to properly equip the office and to carry on the work
 Kelly was around the city hall this forenoon to acquaint himself with the new ordinance which has been created to govern his work. He stated that he proposed an aggressive campaign as he felt as though Bridgeport had long been in need of a change in con- ditions.
 .aThus far I have not made any plans for my work here. First it will be necessary to- secure an office in which to handle the work. I un- derstand that the administrations is me. Then I shall hope for sufficient equipment to carry on the work. It is my determination to make very thorough campaign and inspection of the measures and scales used in this city and to enforce the law to it's fu1l- est extent. I believe that Bridgeport needs drastic action in this respect | have talked with merchants and they have agreed with me that there is much to be done.
 'In Hartford the office issues a small pamphlet which cautions and warns the people of the pitfalls they may fall into by interruptions trades men. Some such thing should be done here as sort of campaign of educa- tion. sThe public has got-to cooper ate in this matter and to get it's co- operation it is necessary to educate them up to the pitfalls that are open to them. I'm afraid that $200 won't give me much for a working capital but with what equipment there is now and that amount I guess I will be able to accomplish much good. m going to try anyway.
