GERMANY MEANS TO DRIVE OUT
 STANDARD OIL

Berlin. Nov 2o-With the bill . creating government oil monopoly coming up in the Reichstag. next Tuuesday. the Standard Oil Com pany's press bureau here was work ing overtime today -ss
 The Standard evidently has decid- ed thaf 1t can hope for little diplo- uiatfc opposition from Washington to the German attempt to end it's opera tons in the fatherland and has centered all it's efforts on a publicity campaign.
 .sThe company contens, in the news papers 1t can induce to publish its arguments, that Germany cannot,in the first place sget along without the Standard. and that, even if it could, no governnent-contro monopoly can sell petroleum as cheaply as the Standard can.
 Prospects for defeating the measure in the Refchstag, however, were con- sfdered very cheap.

MILD WINTER PREDICTED
 BY WEATHER PROPHETS Thin Husks on Corn Is Opposed to the High Price of Coal
 as Indication of Com
 ing Weather STAMFORD
Special to The Farmer.)

| Strafford, Nov. 2O-There is a diver-
 sity of opinion among the local wealth winter. Some who have been con sidered an authority for years proph- esy mild season because fowls are just getting their second coat of feath- CTS after mouEting. This is claimed to , be an unfafling sign that we shall not have any very severe weather till after New Years. The husks on corn is not very thick this fall and this Is regarded as sign of mild weather.
 Muskrats so far have not made any very great preparations for winter
 actly what is coming and are always
 prepared it may be taken for granted
 that the ice will not be very thick
 On the other hand the goose bone Is
 weather. This prediction is safe, for
 few of us will be able to afford goose
 as a regular diet and there will be
 little chance to demonstrate the Oppo-
 site On the other hand domestic cats
 have an unusually heavy coat of fur
 and other unfailing signs encourage
 those who prophecy a repetition of
 last winteTs temperatures. Probably
 the surest bet can be made on the fact that coal is way up in the air
 which 1t may be asserted always pre- cedes a long and severe winter Peo- -pIe whose coal bins have not. been filled for the winter are vacillating be- tween hope and fear The average citizen who knows nothing about the weather except hat he will be obliged
 to pay the coal bills, no matter how extravagant they are, can accept eith- CT Of these prophecies and look as pleasant as possible under the circurrf- stances.
 The first of the series of winter en- tertainments of the Pootaduck Yacht Club took place last night in Odd Fel- lows hall- where large gathering enjoyed whist, a musical program, and a collation.. The affair was an Hn expected success, as far as numbers play. Many who had purchased tick cts failed to appear. During the eve ming Miss Ethel F1ine of New Haven, a well known soprano, sang solos in excellent voice and with great expres- sion. Miss Leonora Calvin with vio- lin, and her brother, John Calvin, a well trained baritone, added to the evenings enjoyment.
