Supt. BiIm nghfm Brings Do 6 Of
 Peace To Couple
Husband Who Deserted Wife, i. FC-given and Family is
 Happily Reunited

With Police Superintendent Eugene Birmingham in the role of peace maker, Louis Jacobinson kissed and made up with his young wife and two children and left happily fer New York this morning, swearing never tc desert them again. For a time Jacob Inson faced the prospect of going IT, IalI Tor abandonment, and was very happy to get out of his predicamen through such a pleasant arrange ment.
 Mrs. Jacobinson, who is only 2s years old and of attractive appear ance, spent her last cent in coming to Bridgeport the day before yester- day with her two children, in search Of her husband, who deserted her in New York several weeks ago.
 Mrs; Jacobinson laid her story be- fore, Police Superintendent Eugene to the proper action to take, for Mrs Jacobtnson was penniless and might become a town charge. MT. and Mrs M. Pokras, residing across the street rom police headquarters, took an in terest in the young woman and volun- teered to keep her and her children at their home while she pursued her
 Superintendent Birmingham locat- ed the missing husband, living at the home of woman at 37 Gilmore visited the place and brought Jacob inson to police headquarters
 rms morning superintendent Birm- 1ngham arranged a conference in his office between Jacobinson and his wife and children.
 Mrs. Jacobinson first read her hus- band lecture that apparently did him much good. Court Interpreter Cohn was called in and through him Superintendent Birmingham deliver ed some wholesome advice. Finally Mrs. Jacobinson concluded her Iec- ture by putting her arms about her husbands neck and kissing him. and he retaliated in kind, including the whole family, and in fact was so grateful and happy that he would probably have included Superintend- ent Birmingham and Interpreter COhn, had they allowed him.
 JacO bfnSOn was then instructed by Superintendent Birmingham to hand over all the money he had. He pro- duced $4, which was the extent of his wealth, and the superintendent gave this to Mrs. Jacobinson The happy wife thereupon made an ar engagement with the superintendent to send postcard to Bridgeport in case her husband suffers any more lapses and feels called upon to return here
 But it will never be nece7sary, be- cause I won't do it again." said JacobinSon.
 "I'n trust you" said his wife, kiss ing him, "but if he comes here again." she added turning to the su- perintendent, "'I'll follow him here and have him and the woman arrest ed"

The greater part of the straw em- pIoyed for making summer hats cOm& from Italy. To obtain d suitable straw for this purpose the wheat is soWn a8 thickly as possible iB order that the growth Of the plant may be. impover- ished as well as to produce a thin stalk. The Italian wheat blooms at the beginning of June and is pulled mp by hand by tine roots when the grain tg half developed. Should it be allowed to remain in the ground a longer time the straw would become too brittle for the purpose for which it is grown. UprOoted straws to the number of about five dozen. the size of the com pass of the two hands. are firmly ted together in little sheaves and slowed away in barns. After that the straw is again spread out to catch the heavy summer dews and to bleach in the sun. When the product has been sufficiently bIeached i1 is put into small bundles and classified. The last step Is to cut 1t close above tine first joint from the top. when it is again tied up in small bundles containing about sixty stalks each and is then ready for the market -Harper's Weekly.

Tasta IaLaeaIizad.

Taste is cautiously localized in the mouth. Put a lump of sugar on the tip of your tongue and you will find ie distinctly sweet. Then try it halfway back on the tongue and you will find it tasteIess. All sweet or aromatic substances, such as wine. sugar and coffee. can be properly appreciated by the front half of the tongue. a piece Of knowledge that every true connoisseur applies when he sips instead of taking a mouthful- With most other sub stances, however, the reverse is true. In these cases the tip Of the tongue serves only for touching-it is the back part that tastes. The sides of the mouth, too. are quite insenSible to cer- tain substances not saSteIess. Put some salt or vinegar between the teeth and the cheek and you will find them absolutely flavorless.-London Stand ard.

Ground Hog Legend
 Today Is His Day
Claim Made by Eminent Rural BuShwacker That Records
 Don't Justify Legend
Cspecial to The Farmer.l

stratford. Feb. 2.-Today is Can ilemas day or "Ground-hog day. as lt is called in the rural districts of England and the United States. Just where the legend regarding the oay originated has not been olscoVereo 'ather to son for centuries. It IS one If the relics of superstition which has survived the ages and held It's own against the growing enlightenment or he world The legend bases the coming of spring upon the appear Lnce of the ground hog, or wood when if he sees his shadow he will -eturn to his hole and remain SIX weeks more. If he does not see his shadow, which means that if the day pc overcast he will not return to his 1oIe for another nap but will remain outside and spring will follow inn nediately. The ground hog h1bernateS turing the winter. He accumulateS supply his body with warmth and 1ourishment during the winter, re- Q sleep like the bear and Snores all winter. The popular notion that he comes out on Feb to look at the weather is a myth pure and simple. The truth of the matter is that wood shucks are occasionally seen at diff ,erent times all winter long without regard to the weather. Only two weeks ago, when the thermometer was at the lowest point it has reach 4d for years, a woodchuck was seen standing on the mound above his hole oy a reputable citizen of Milford who .ook pains to approach the animal near enough to establish it's identity beyond a doubt.
 Still there are many who believe f the sun shines on Candelmas, win CT will continue for six weeks. Most svery body takes notice of the wealth IT on that day even if they do not believe that the appearance of the ky on that day has any influence on he coming of spring. One inVesti- ;ator has attributed the popular be- ief concerning Candlemas to the fact
 hat almost everyone has begun to ire of the cold weather about Feb -uary and has alrea dy begun to ook forward to the coming of warm er weather. In this he believes that he wish is the father of the belief The myth has survived even the array of stern facts which have disproved 1t time and again for no one ever saw ! second of February which ended he winter. In fact the records show hat several of the earliest springs in he last fifty years have followed 9 Hear and bright Candlemas. But in rofte of all this proof we shall all feel better if the sun does not shine to- Iay. Candlema9 is a religious holi- Iav and has been recognized by the !hurch for centuries as the feast of he purfhcatiOn or the anniversary of he presentation of Christ in the tenn lie at Jerusalem. It was a Pagan holiday before the coming of Chris ianity like Christmas and other hoIi- lays now recognized by Chrfstendom.

OLD YEAR MEMORIES

Let us forget the things that vexed and tried us The worrying things that caused our souls to fret; The hopes that, cherished long, still denied
 Let gorget. 2 Let forget the little sights that paned us, The greater wrongs that rankle sometimes yet The pride with which some lofty dsdained
 Let forget Let us forget our brothers fault and failing, The yielding to temptations that best, That he perchance though grief be unavailing,
 Cannot forget. But blessings manifold past all deserving, Kind words and helpful deeds countless throng. The faults oercome. the recitude unswervng
 Let us remember long The sacrifice of love- the generous giving When friends few. the handcasp and strong The fragrance of each life of holy living
 Let remember long. Whatever things good and true and gracious. Whate'er of right has triumphed wrong What love of God has rendered precious,
 Let us remember long, So pondering well the lessons it has taught us, We tendery may bid the year good by, Holding in memory the good it brought us,
 Letting the evil die
