Whats the explanation? Some call it "old fogyism, and some call it stupidity, and some call it self conceit and some call it bigotry, and some think it simple stubbornness. But these are not explanations, and little good is apt to be accomplished by throwing mud or calling names.
 I haven't found farmers any more oldfogyish or bigoted or self f-conceit- ed than other folks, in matters out side their farm work. And a majority of them are sincerely anxious to do better farming and modestly willing to accept any help towards that end from any source. It's the minority I'm thinking of;-the off horses" What is it, at bottom, which makes them what they are? Where do they get the

CasCarets' Best
 For the Bowels
No Headache, Bad Taste, Sour Stomach or Coated Tongue
 by Morning

It is more necessary that you keep your Bowels, Liver anG Stum3l h clean pure and fresh than it is to keep the sewers and drainage of a large city free from obstruction.
 Are you keeping clean inside with Cascarets-or merely forcing d pas sageway every few days with salts, cathartic pills or castor oil? This is important.
 Cascarets immediately cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove the sour undigested and fermenting food and foul gases take the excess bile from the liver and carry cut of the system the constipated waste mat ter and poison in the intestin 9S and bowels.
 No odds how badly and upset you feel. a Cascaret tonight will straight en you out by morning. They work while you sleep. A 10-cent box from your druggist will keep your head clear, stomach sweet, and your liver and bowels regular for months. Don't forget the children-their little in- sides need good, gentle cleansing. too.

 The unfaVorable action of the ju- dietary committee in declining to re- nominate Judge Frederick p. Latimer as judge of the town court of Groton, and recommending the appointme of Albert F. Hewitt democrat. has giv en renewed courage to Charles Hickey and Nathan Belcher, the democrats who aspire to the seat on the bench of the New London police court now oc- cup1ed by Judge William 5. Colt It IS said that Judge Colt expects better treatment by the judiciary committee especially that two democrats are after the place and he wishes there were more, for the more the merrier from h1s standpoint. He would be glad to see the democratic sI<irmish develop into fight and so fierce that there would be no hope of reconciliation for then his chance of reappointnent would be improved.
 There is but one police court iudqe allotted to New London and there are three lawyers after that one position and each has resolution of appoint ment with the judiciary meeting and all will soon be given hearing The majority of the committee, so Judge Colt claims, favor his req appointment while Messrs. Hickey and Belcher make like claims. But. according to one of the committeeman the claims of the candidates have no real foundation anu duded tHal, Tn his opinion, if both democrats persisted in their candidacy neither would win, and their persist ency would result in Judge Colts re- appointment. But with one democrat eliminated there was opportunity for democratic judge in the New London police court for the first time in great many years.
 In the case of Judge Latimer, the committee report was accepted and ordered on the calendar for action later Action will also be taken by the senate and it is understood that in that body friends of the judge will make move that will result in his retention.

NapoIeon's Concentration.

The leading military principles OF Ma
poleon were to seize the initiative by
concentrating ones forces from march.
ing into fighting order as quickly as
possible and. having massed the troops
as compactly as effective action will
permit. TO attack swiftly. This attack
must be upon a portion only of the
enemy's army, and the weight of ones
whole force must be crowded in. so
that at the point of action a decided
superiority is attained. This theory
Of action he often explained to his gen.
erals. Moreau, in conversation with
Napoleon in 1890, remarked that 1t
was always the greater numbers that
won, to which Napoleon replied: you
are right When. with inferior forces,
/ had a large army before me con-
centrated mine rapidly and fell like
lightning upon one of the enemy's
wings and routed it Then / took adj
vantage of the confusion which this
maneuver never failed to produce in

swANzEY TOWN HALL BURNED.
Grange Loses It's Equipment in Fire
Which Destroys Landmark.

Keene, N. H., Aug. lS.-A fire early
Saturday morning destroyed the Swan
zey town hall, which was an old land
mark of the town. The building was
used as grange hall and also as an
office for the selectmen. The cause of
the fire is unknown. There was no in
suranee on the building. On Friday
night the hall was used by the grange
order for a whist party and dance, which
broke up shortly before o'clock Satur-
day morning. The fire was discovered
about 80 and had gained such Roadway
that nothing could prevent the destruc-
tion of the building. Volunteer firemen
helped in saving nearby buildings.
The town hall was 40 80 feet, with
an ell at the rear, where the selectmen
had room. The grange lost its hall
furnishings, including a piano, dishes and
regalia. The selectmen lost some of the
town records. The most valuable pa
pers and tax inventory were in charge
of the town clerk and were not de-
stroyed
During the progress of the fire, sparks
landed on the buildings of +. F. Down
ing, and one of the outbuildings caught
fire but was not badly damaged 1t is
estimated that the cost of new town
hall will be from $4,000 to Sll 900

BREACH IN THE
MEXICAN WALL
Official Statement Bellies the
Prediction That U. S. En-
voy Would Be Ignored

Mexico City, Aug. lS-Frederico Gam
boa, the Mexican minister of foreign
affairs, Saturday night gave out the first
statement made by any Mexican official
regarding the message sent to provision
al President Huerta by President Wilson
through his personal representative, ex
Gov. John Lind.
The foreign minister said the Mexican
government would give consideration to
the communication and after discussing
it would make reply.
This procedure is contrary to the opin-
ion held generally here the past week
regarding the Mexican governments at
titude, it being assumed in view of Gen.
Huerta's note of August 6, in which he
characterized Mr.. Lind as being persona
non grata, unless he brought proper Gre
dentials and recognition of the Huerta
administration, that any message the
ex-governor brought would be ignored.

AFFAIRS AT
WASHINGTON
Hot Fight Over the Banana
and Fish Du-
ties
NEW INTEREST
IN LOBBY HUNT
Ex-House Page Makes Seri-
Gus Accusations Against
Rep. McDermott

Washington, Aug. ls.-Tariff debate
ragged Saturday largely over products in
which New England has particular in
terest. And, as every item came up,
whether cranberries, fish or bananas, the
Senate voted it down, just as it has been
doing with every outside amendment to
the tariff bill since consideration began.
The niftiest contest was over bananas,
with John Sharp Williams of Mississippi
and John w. Weeks of Massachusetts in
chief speaking roles. Williams asserted
that the banana was luxury; Weeks
that it was no more of a luxury than
apples. Right here, Senator Lane stepped
into the arena with observations about
the high quality of Oregon apples. The
gravity of the banana contention was
dropped for a minute, while up rose sew
eral senators to say that the best apples
were grown i'll constituencies other than
Oregon. The banana fight is taking on
interest, as Representative Peters, Dem
ocrat, of Boston, and member of the
ways and means committee, is against
the duty, just as is Senator Weeks,
Republican. Senator Gore of Oklahoma
appears to have fathered the tax, because
he thought he was striking at wicked
After some studies year
or so ago, Senator Gore declared his be-
lief that the United Fruit company was
a trust. Senator Weeks had much to
say Saturday about the operations of
the United company and about the inter-
est many Massachusetts people have in
its operations.
Mexico was never a very lively Wash
ington subject Saturday. Senator Lodge
paid visit to the state department in
the morning and had talk with Secre-
tary Bryan. Presumably this was with
reference to Mexico, but the senator de-
'lined to disclose his exact Grand John
R. Phillips, secretary Of an organization
that is seeking to promote better rela-
tions between Mexico and the United
States, also saw Secretary Bryan on
Saturday at some length.
