three large icebergs. Sighted num-

girls tomato clubs Of the world" Is
soon to be married to Cecil Seller,
the superintendent Of the county
schools under whose directions she
was working when she organized the
little tomato club which was the
first one in the world.
The wedding will take place in
May, and the occasion will be the
source Of interest far out Of South
Carolina, the native State of the two
young people, where her work for
the country girl began in simple
way. This work has grown into q
national movement for tho girls Of
the rural districts.
AS told in The Constitution of
Easter Sunday, Miss Cromer, seeing
the lack Of interest in the life Of the
average girl Of the moro remote
country districts, and seeing the
great interest developed in the or
ganization Of corn clubs for the boys,
decided sho would establish a SINH
lar movement for girls.
She consulted with tho necessary
authorities in the community in
which she lived; secured the one
tenth acre in connection with her
school in which she was teacher, and
organized tho first tomato club. This
was the beginning of the movement
and subsequently, when it had be-
come organized in Virginia and else
where, Miss Cromer was made or
ganiZer Of tomato clubs in South Car
olina. She was one Of the most in
teresting OF the many workers for
rural betterment who visited Nash
vile during the recent Conference

Hollister. 72 Beardsley street, on Monday. His parents are expected from the west, where they had re- sided for some years. Young Wilmot not yet 21. had made his home with his grandmother.

There was a grinding sound. the trolIeymen say. They thought the cars had sideswiped in some way and brought them to a stop. Then they found Wilmot lying unconscious with his head crushed. He died at the Bridgeport hospital shortly after the ambulance corps had delivered him at that institution.

Gomez Hopes Uprising z

< Havana, May 31--The delay in at- tackinz the rebellious negroes in 6K1ente province today revived the theory. put forth at the outbreak of the rebellion. that < the movement was really fostered by the Gomez ad- ministration to enhance it's political ,standing which was on the wane. Pessimistic politicians in the capital. who are familiar with the situatfon. are looking forward to a spectacular surrender of the malcontents in the field which they expect will be fol- lowed by great outburst of joy and create. a univedsal demand for the re- election of Gomez. ' With the exception of the attack on the property of the Spanish -Americaf Mining Company at Daiquari, yester- day, there has been no real damage from the malcontents.

Local Union's Representative Feels That Other Employees in Other Cities Are Entitled to Same Wages--Men Here to Vote on New
 Proposition of
 Company

Anthony Wolfe, delegate from the local trolleymen's union to the joint conference board of the unions em- ployed by the Connecticut Co. in this state in an, interview with a Farmer reporter today stated:
 It was intended that none of the delegates would give anything to the newspapers for publication until the matter had first been submitted to the local unions, but as see by the New Haven papers that someone over there has broken into print I want to say that believe the protest of the New Haven trolleymen against the em- pioyes in other cities receiving the same scale of wages as themselves is unjust. The New Haven railroad is paying no higher wages on one of it's divisions than on the others. When we started our organization the New Haven trolleymen were able to get higher wages than the employees in other cities, but they always had, the support of the unions in the small cities in getting their increases in wages. I say that the New Haven Union should feel grateful to the un- ions of other cities for their loyal
