THRILLING PICTURES AT
 GROSS PICTURE SHOW

Another large and appreciative aud fence enjoyed the classy program put on by the Gross Picture Show last evening. Redemption met with a round of applause. and is truly one of the most dramatic productions ever shown here. The offering today is a drama of modern life, "The Unwrit- ten Law" in three parts. A picture that will steal into your heart with the thrilling emphasis of compelling real ism. The offering Saturday is truly sensational. "The Auto Bandits of Paris" Eclairs great three-reel fea- ture is truly the tragic triumph of the movie world This picture of stu pendous warfare against desperadoes was photographed by the Eclair cam era men in rain of bullets, during the dynamite duel between "Bonnot," " the tiger, and the French army. The papers of all countries were filled with accounts of the auto bandits, yet the actual depletion of this awe-inspiring drama has been made possible by the all-seeing eye of the cinematagraphic camera in the hands of men more dar, ing and resourceful than most war cor. respondents. This picture will be shown here Saturday matinee and night only.

We consider ourselves a manufacturing community and agriculture has no place with us, and yet do you doubt that the agricultural problem to-day is the most important that is facing the people of the state? Will not this continual increase in the cost of living result in continual increase in the price of labor. and will this condi tion not only close the markets of the outside world to our manufactured proructs, but will 1t not seriously han dicap the manufacturers of Connect- cut in our home market.
 We are facing a reduction in the tariff. The present administration avowed seeks to bring the cheap labor of Europe in connection with our own labor.
 Can we, in the face of the present high cost of living, expect any reason able or radical reduction in the cost of labor in our own factories? Is there any possibility of our being able to reduce the cost of labor until we can reduce the cost of living?
 As A Corn Producer.
 "Outside of vegetables, our food supplies consist almost entirely of pork, beef mutton. milk, poultry. and eggs. Each of these can be produced cheaper with corn and alfalfa than with any other food. Now, then, gentlemen here is a fact that the last census showed that Connecticut pro- duced more bushels of corn per acre than the great corn states of Illin- ois and Iowa I know from my own experience that we can raise as much alfalfa per acre in this state as in any state in the union. f. therefore, we can produce more corn and as much alafIfa as any other state, we certain ly can produce our food supplies as cheapIy as any other state.

WAGES IN STATE HIGHER THAN EVER

A largo number of business men heard thA aadress given by Colonel Charles M Jarvis at the Hartford club, recently, under the auspices of the 'artford County Manufacturers asso-
 ion on The Relation of the Manu-
 cturer to the Farmer" and were
 cply intrested. Colonel Jarvis is
 lly qualified to discuss the question
 he is president of the American
 }sdWare corporation; president of
 Connecticut Agricultural Society,
 nose annual fairs at Berlin are the aiS of the state. and also conducts a thoroughly practical and successful farm at Berlin. The address is given below in full;
 An Important Question.
 The question of farming in Con- necticut is one of great importance to the manufacturing interests of the state. The cost of labor depends all labor in some form constitutes the greatest element of cost in the pro- duction of manufactured articles.
 Pardon me if I go back for half a century, but it seems to be necessary in order to clearly understand the agriculture in this state, and as it seems to me, also, the high cost of living.
 Just before the breaking out of the Civil War in 1S60 farming and manufacturing in Connecticut were about equally balanced. At that time there was about the same amount of capital and the same number of people employed in each occupation. The two industries were about equal in importance. Practically all the food supplies for our manufacturing labor were raised within the borders of our state.
 Soon ofter the Civil War, in order to provide revenue for the support ot the Government and to protect the manufacturing interests of the nation, a protective tariff was placed on foreign imports, and this caused a large expansion ip the manufactur- ing industries of tlA country, especial ly in New England. This large eXpan- sion called for more labor, and that eX- pansion has continued with slight in terruption to the present time.
 The BountifuI West.
 with the opening of the virgin lands of the west which started about the time of the breaking out of the War of the Rebellion, (with the opening up of these virgin lands where all that was necessary for man to do was to scratch the earth and nature responded freely, willingly and bountifully) commenced an era of agricultural expansion equal and even greater than the expansion in the manufacturing industries. The protective tariff worked wonders in the the expansion of the manufacturing industries of the east, and the opening up of the virgin lands by railroads worked wonders in the west.
 Both of these worked to the detri- ment of farming in New England. The factories took the men from the fields, and the west raised food supplies cheaper than the farmers of the east could produce the same, consequently manufacturing developed and farming retrograded until at the present time our economic condition here in Con- necticut is about as follows:
 First, never in the history of Con- necticut has labor received so high a wage as at the present time, or in other words, the cost of labor to day in Connecticut is higher than ever be- fore in the history of the state
 Second, the cost of food has in
