AN ANTI.fARMER
fREE-TRADE TARIFF
II Reduces the Price Of What the
Farmer Has to Sell but Not
What He Has to Buy.

The Coming from inspired sources
in Washington is the reiterated state
ment that the Anti-Farmer Tariff bill
will reduce the cost of living. The
Argus most devoutly hopes this state
ment will come true, but can find
absolutely no cause for believing IL.
On the contrary, prices of manufac-
tured Goods are advancing and there
will be less money in circulation
to pay them.
- The situation in Fergus County can
be likenod to that in all farming
communities Of the United States.
In Fergus County the estimated yield
of wheat brought it's owners about
$350,000 less than IL would have
broueht if the old Tariff had remain
ed in esistcncc. The present Tariff
bill is Free-Trade bill on every
thing a farmer raises. Canadian
wheat, Argentine cattle and Austria
liam sheep can be sold in this coun-
try as freely as the American pro-
ducts. Owing to our geographical To-
cation, the price of Fergus County
wheat is dictated by the Minneapolis
market. Approximately $1,000, 900 bush
els of Canadian wheat already have
been sold in Minneapolis, with ev-
cry prospect that there will be double
or treble the amount. Canadian wheat
also has flooded every other Am
erican market, it being the one fac
tor that has depressed the price to
its present low level.

Business Men Meet st Wildwood

Wildwood park has been selected as the place for holding the big joint out ing of the Business Meas Associations of Norwich, New London, Williman- tic, Putnam and Danielson August IA. Judge Harry K. Back and the follow ing Danielson business men are asso- ciated with him as chairman on the committee of arrangements that will plan to show the visitors ore of the fs- nous beauty spots of the eastern part of the state and an entertainment that will convince them of Danieson's rightful claim of being the natural habitat of hosts par excellence: Frank T. Preston, C. A. Potter. l.. J. Morin and Dr. W. F. II. Newton.
 The plans are for solid day of pleasure, day of respite from business care, but one during which men repre- sentative of important business inter- ests in the eenters of trade in eastern Connecticut may have an opportunity to exchange, under ideal conditions, ideas and opinions as to what this part of the state needs and what 1t has and incidentally get in closer touch, more in sympathy and better acquainted with each other.
 X big feature of the outing will be the "shore" dinner. This will be pre- pared under the direction of King George Jacques, who Is without peer in this or any other land when the preparation of fchowders and clambakes are the order of the day. King George has accepted the commission and will show em. He'll make them prouder than ever that they live in eastern Connecticut,

Bridges Not Built for Autotrucks

Incident to the filing of claim against the town of Putnam by New Haven transfer company on account of an automobile truck breaking through a bridge on May g, there is considerable interest among officials of all nearby towns, because of the Likelihood of similar accidens happening in any town hereabouts. Most of the small bridges in outlying sections of wind ham county towns are wooden struct- ures, not built to stand the strain caused by the passage of heavily loaded four-ton truck, for instance, and unless autotruck drivers use some care and discretion as to passing over these bridges town officials believe that the towns should not be held wholly responsible for such accidents as may occur by little bridges going down un- der weights that they were never built to withstand.
 The big autotruck Is a comparative ly modern means of transportation. Its coming could not be foreseen by the bridge builders of a score of years ago, hence the bridges were not built to withstand such stress as 1t places upon them. Most of the bridges will stand up under the truck traffic, how ever, if a driver uses good judgment
 but there are some that will not, anc there are some truck drivers who pro ceed so recklessly as to increase thu danger of breaking them down. IL | of this class that the town official think when considering that a towr 1 should not be held wholly responsible

Posts Ills Wife

William Henry Bishop, distin- guished summer resident of Brooklyn, and with & home in New York, gave printed notice Thursday that he will no longer be responsible for bills con tracted by his wife, Sheba J Bishop, as she has left his bed and board.
 MT. Bishop Is former United States consul at Genoa and Palermo, Italy, and was at one time professor of lit- erature at Yale university, of which he is a graduate. As an author and journalist MT. Bishop Is widely known in the literary world. Some of his best known novels, of which he has had nearly a score published, are Choy Susan, which has been translated.into French and German; Detmold, Golden Justice, The Brown Stone Boy, Old Mexico and the Lost Province, A House Hunter in Europe and The House of Merchant Prince. Mir. Bishop has also been constant con tributor to the leading magazines. Among the many honors that Mir, Bishop has received Is a special decora- tion from the king of Italy in recogni- tion of the humane work that he did for the sufferers after the great earth quake at Messins, Dec. 2s, 1908. For time after the great disaster was first reported it was believed in this coun- | haA | ished.
 When he was consul at Genoa MT. Bishop was instrumental in sending back to this country the body of James Smithson, the great English phiIan. thropist and donor of the Smithsonian institute at Washington, D. C.
 Mr. and Mrs. Bishop first came to Brooklyn in September, 1910, when 1 they purchased the home of C. NJ. Gal lup at the ledges. This place MT. Bish. op has since sold. They spent little time at Brooklyn during the summer of 1912. This ysar MT. and Mrs. Bish- op have been occupying the Bard house, near the center of the village, and have been taking meals at the Put nam hotel, Brooklyn.
 This week Mrs. Bishop, who is said not to be particularly fond of life in the country, left Brooklyn, for vaca- ton in Maine, 1t was said. Her de- parture has been followed by the pub lication of notice authorized by Mir. Bishop and to the end previously stated.

Air Rifles Broken

For some time past number of boys in the north end of the city have been exercising their skill with air rifles on human targets. The matter was brought to head when one of the lads shot Dr. G. P. Perley while he was driving to his home in Woodstock. The bullet hit him in the back but his coat protected him so that only slight sting was felt. The doctor. however, wisely decided that the authorities should be notified before some person was seriously injured so he called up the captain of police. The captain in- vestigated the matter and found the boys, but not before they had shot an- other little boy in the forehead, and found out where they lived He inter- viewed the parents of each and stated what had been going on. The parents were quick to act and several spank ings were in order. The air rifles were broken and relegated to the ash pile and quiet reigns again.

Burglars Again

Another successful burglary was pulled off in the north end of the city Friday evening between 7.S0 and s.30 o'clock, when the residence of Fred W <, Tefft was entered and ransacked and a quantity of jewelry stolen.
 MT. Tefit and his family left the house for an automobile ride and when they returned an hour later they found nearly every room had been entered, drawers pried open and things strewn about and many articles gone. Among the missing articles were the following Plush jewel case, seven gold rings, some with stone settings; cameo brooch, two breast pins, an enamel watch-pin, three gold chains, two stick pins, a solid gold watch and chain, string of gold neck beads, string of jet neck beads, string of pearl neck neck beads, ladies' long gold chain with pin attachment, gold locket, a moonstone (unset), pair of black jet earrings, two watches, s revolver.
 A peculiar thing about the burglary is that the burglar pried open drawers | containing solid silver articles but did not touch them and seemed to want nothing of bulky nature. The break is in close proximity to the Heath store, which has been entered so many times, but the style of the work is not the same for at the Heath store there was no objection made to bulky ar. ticles.
 There is absolutely no clue to the burglar. 1t is without doubt the work of lone criminal as footprints of one person were found from the railroad track to the house. Entrance was gained by breaking pane of glass in the basement and pushing back win dow catch. In the basement is ma. chine shop and this supplied plenty of tools for the man to work with. Neighbors saw light going through the house but thought nothing of it be- lieving il to be some of the family Doubtless the man saw the family go away and took the opportunity to do the job. It is possible that it is the work of tramp as some have been seen hanging about in the neighbor- hood near the railroad. The police ir- quired of all the railroad men who were in the neighborhood about the time the break occurred and they say they saw no hoboes about. This is the largest haul that has been made by thieves in some time.
 The fish market of C. D. Arnold, Front street, was broken into late Sat urday night and little over a dollar in change taken from the cash register, The burglar gained entrance through side window. The window was part way up and he pushed it the rest of the way and tore out screen. Mrs. Gilbert, who lives upstairs, heard a noise and looking out of the window saw man making of in the darkness.

Bank Commissioners Must GIve Infor.
 nation

Fred r. Holt and Norris $. Lippitt, as state bank commissioners, must, under an order made by Judge Joseph F. Tuttle at ,Hartford, supply to the Windham Savings bank of Danielson the information which the officers of the bank seek. The bank has for about year been unuer an order Of the SUI perior court, restraining 1t from pay ing out any of its deposits. A few weeks ago the state bank commissions CTS made application 10 the superior court that receiver be appointed to wind up the affairs of the bank. The commissioners contended, that the lia- bilities of the bank were greater than she assets, and that the public was in danger of being defrauded if the bank was permitted to continue business.
 When the application for the ap- pointment of a receiver came before Judge Futile at Hartford it was agreed that the hearing be continued to the regular session of the superior court in Windham county, but Judge Henney made motion that the bank commis- sioners be required to make their pe- tition for receiver more specific, by stating in what way the public was in danger of being defrauded. The mo- ton was argued at some length, the lawyers for the bank commissioners being opposedto it. Judge Tuttle then reserved his decision and he has now decided that the bank is entitled to the information asked for under the mos tion.
