 are awarded fairly in these modern times but that fairness did not prevail in every instance in the long ago. There is a case in point for illustration.
 Many years ago, just forty-four to| be exact, at the first session of the first evening school in New London. there was a spelling contest among the students the prize being a Webster Unabridged Dictionary. Towards tle8 end of the term the contest took place, consisting of forty words. Three of the pupils were perfect in the contest and it was continued until the nexb evening. One of the contesting trio1 was a cripple and naturally sympathy was with him and even his associate contestants would not have wept tei have him declared the winner, but they had no desire to belittle their own efficiency, and came the next night prepared to win the honor if possible. IL was to be another contest with forty words as the limit. Before the contest began one of the nosey pupils looked into the dictionary and found ne&ly inscribed on the fly leaf that the book knowledge had been awarded to the crippld young man for prof. ciency in spelling. The other two con- testants did not want to protest and had no desire to create any feeling.
 They agreed to spell incorrectly the very first word submitted and thereby inform the committee that they were onto the game. The three pupils were lined up and the contest opened. The first word was given out, missed and that contestant was out of the race. The same game was played by his wise associate and the boy with his name in the hook was the only con- tastant standing. He of course spell ed the word correctly and the prize was promptly awarded. Then there was a brief session of the committeeman and they spoke in words of praise of the efforts of the defeated contest ants and as sort of healing plaster pre- sented tC each a two years member snip in the New London Library as sociation, which was located in the little room on the third floor of the city hall building, now occupied by the highway commissioner.

PINE GROVE SAVED.
This Means That Cherry Park is to Be
 Preserved in All of Its Beauty.

Dr. Flint, who recently purchased Cherry Park, has finally bought from G. C. Beckwith & Sons of Nepaug the timber rights ip the pine forest which had been sold to them previous to the disposal of the real estate This is one of the finest pine groves in Con necticut and standing on the shores of Cherry pond, it made a beautiful place of that part of the park. The timber was very valuable and it must have added a good bit of money to the purchase price which Dr. Flint has had to pay.

CWritten Specially for The Bulletin.)
 Machinery instead of drudgery, science instead of guess s-work-that farming in 1912" l quote from one or those excessively optimistic persons whose aim seems to be to delude slm- pie city folk into the idea that farm- ing is one lifelong picnic.
 You'd think to read some of the stun, that all the farmer has to do is to Apress the button" and let gasoline en- zines and dynamos do the rest.
 You'd think that his chief occupa- ton was to pass out punches and bushels and bags full of produce to eager consumers swarming at his back door, all with baskets in one hand and bills in the other.
 You and who are in and of it, know that "taint no sech thing" More over. we know that these well-meaninS boomers of country life, who minimize the toll and magnify the rewards of farming are doing more harm than good. They are building up false hopes which are certain of extinction in the first cold wind of actual ex- perience.
 They are urging innocently igno- rant people to loss which they cant afford and to unhappiness which no one can afford.
 For a long course of years the ten dency of writers was to pity or sheer at the farmer. He was caricatured III type and picture. He was held up as an example of dunderheadedness of Slowness of hand d-to-mouth existence The whole world of books and papers was filled with the explicit or i'm piled idea that farming was a Tow down" business and that the farmer was only one little step higher than a pauper.
 Then. twenty or so years ago. there came a change. From unjust de- preciation of farm life the pen and pencil showers pranced over to the op- Posite side of the arena and suddenly became vociferous boomers for it.
 As they went to the extreme in the old days of ridicule and caricature, so they are going to extremes, now.
 Farming isn't all machinery in stead of drudgery." Nor is it all science instead of guess work"
 I've just come in from morning tour of five acres of gardens. For twenty years I've been living with those five acres. I've summered them and wintered them. Eve had their soil analysed and I've tried them out in all sorts of practice. l know what forms of plant-food are present in them in ample supply and what are stinted. l know what analysis and experience both tell me are suitable areas for cabbage and for corn and for asparagus and for green peas, etc, etc. I know what analysis and experience dictate as the most adequate and economical methods of supplying de- ficiencies. In other words, I'm farm ing those five acres by science instead of guess work"
 Also, I have all the machinery that is economically wise for such a garden.
 What does my morning tour of in spection tell me of the results of thus farming with machinery instead of drudgery and with science instead Of guess work?

Inquiry Justified

The promptness with which condf- tons at sea have been made safer justified the American Titanic inquiry. Had not the senate acted instantly, months would have been spent in de- bate and the force of the disaster have worn off.-NeW York Tribune,
Norwich bulletin., 1912-06-22

We haven't yet reached the point where we can discount all the evils of the universe, nor cure all it's ails, either by science or with machinery, either in farming on in any other voca- ton. There are enough good things to be said about farming,-which are also true things,-without going too far afield after false hopes. Lord knoWns the country wants more farm CTS and better farmers. But it doesn't want untrained an dincompetent men cajoled into taking up the work through unduly rose -colored pictures of utopian impossibilities. If is the unexpected which happens: and it is just as likely to happen up here on Podunk Heights as on Main street or Fourth avenue. THE FARMER.

Four million hours at least of hard dis agreeable work are saved the women of this nation every week by Fels-Naptha soap. That is 208 million hours, or 26 miE- lion working days of 8 hours each every year.
 Isn't that record for Fels-Naptha to be proud of? Then there's the saving in health, in the wear of clothes, and in lots of other ways as well. More than mill lion women are using Fels-Naptha every wash-day.
 It takes Fels-Naptha in cold ot Iukewarm water about half the time 1t would take by the old-fashioned hot-water way. Tryit next wash-day yourself. Soap your white clothes with Fels-Naptha, roll them and let them soak for 30 minutes. Then give light rub, rinse thoroughly, and hang on the line.
 No hot fire to blister your face, no steaming suds to scald your hands, no nall- seating smell about the house, no back breaking work over the washboard. Isn't 1t worth tryingP
 Directions for washing all kinds of clothes, and many other uses of Fels-Naptha on inside of the red and green wraDDer. Follow them carefully.
