White County for Brundidge.

Judge Hays is trying to spread the
impression that the newspapers OF
White county as we'll as the people are
opposed to Brunddge for governor, be-
cause the editor of the Kensett Key
note (recently boycotted out of Cab
ot) has seen fit to use the columns OF
his sheet to the discredit of Mr.. Bfun-
didge. The fact is that. all the other
papers, old established journals. in
White county are uncompromisingly
in favor of their home man. They evI

Connecticut Agricultural College

EDITOR OF PATRIOT; 1 have been conversant with the development of the Connecticut Agricultural College from its inception, being acquainted with the Hon. Augustus Storrs who provided the nucleus. an original prop osition with him, a man native of Mansfield, Conn, and it was under stood that had he lived several years longer was intending to add financial assistance to the original gift. Then followed years of prosperity and years of diversity financially speaking.
 If an active man in politics solely for the benefit of his state, felt in a mood to criticise something state wise, he would sit himself down with vis- ion of this institution in front of him, and conclude that if it was homed in either of the large cities or counties the prospective would be the real thing: for they would suggest from memory of man-Connecticut man-had Tol. land County ever been allowed dol lar appropriation for public institu- ton and 1t would be unwise to consid- CT il all Give it to them who bath; New Haven, or Hartford or Bridge port.
 In the darkest days blessed be the memory of the Hon. Wm. Edgar Si- monds, an old soldier, congressman, at- Sin of Nf the Connecticut House of Representa- tives. Like the sturdy oak he stood almost alone as public man in favor of sustaining the college and using all his influence to secure for the farmers sons of our 16S towns an opportunity to gain an education along these liaes, and if MT. Simonds had never done anything else for his state, his memo ry should be kept in reverence. From his day on the college has grown in numbers and influence among other agricultural colleges of the other states, until today it is here to remain and grow. But some man from a large center says, "It is very expensive in- stitution to maintain This is very true and every good thing well main- | tained costs money. Let us compare the Agricultural college with other State Institutions. During the ten | years ending October 1st, 1910,

 Equally worthy of praise is the member who advocates having the State take over the Shaker Colony 1 Lands of Enfield for the purpose of | providing a homelike retreat for the men of feeble will where they may be under good influence, and tract of land where they may be maintained | in comfort and assist in their mainte- nance. All our public institutions are beneficial, but the Connecticut Agri- cultural College shows results beyond all or any other in net returns. The fact that it is quiet community is one of the st rongest things in it's favor | G. A. HAMMOND.

Now Paint

Strike when the iron is hot and paint when the property needs 1t.
 They paint ships a dozen times year; yes, some of them, every voyage. What for, do you think? To look nice and get business.

 A man, with house for sale or to let, "does it up,', and Deyoe is the paint.
 There's more in paint than to keep out water. Paint for looks and you needn't think about water. A fresh coat of paint once year is about as good for his credit as paying his debts. But the man whose buildings and fences look new, very likely, has no debts.
