usual degree of fairness in the whole transaction. At first he offered to sell a portion of the property to the city and when it came to a show down he faced the cards and demanded that the city must take all the property or none and pay him in cash $16, 900 on a date specified. This was done. In doing this he built the store front out to the line limit Jf the property In so doing he interfered in the general plan of the proposed improvement which was made with the belief that changed In location. So if there is lawsuit it will only be what can be expected under the circumstances.
 if is quite probable, however, that mayor Dart will not be the only ex-nnayoF that will soon be at law with the city in damage suit. Benja- min l.. Armstrong. the real busin ess mayor of the city and who conducted a strictly business administration and made a record in that line. has filed claim against the city for $20o0 to recover for damage in connection with th6 proposed Fefnovel of a dwelling house from Granite street t0 a new To- cation, MF. Armstrong made the aP-
 9iiGatien to ti7e court of common eaun- cil in the regular way and the applica- tieH was granted. Mr. Armstrong gave contract for Femevei and had work commenced on foundation at the new site Suddenly ebjeeteFs appeared and the e0uRci1men were influenced into reseinding the vote granting the appli- cation for the reFn0Vel and the result is a sgir in damages against the city, unless the city fathers, in their wis deHa, pay the claim and avoid the expense of litigation, It can be put down as fact that it is the first time in the history of the city that two ex-4naye CTS were threatening the city with law suits at the same time. and is perhaps not eaualled in any other city,

 The critism of the bronze statue, The Whaler, recently dedicated In New Bedford, which depicts Q sailor strfpp- ed to the waist in the bow of @ boat with harpoon in hand, equals the large oil painting of a local amateur artist that was placed on exhibition many years ago. It is of course understood that a shirtless sailor could not with stand the heat when after the sperm Whale and he would freeze to death II nude above the waist in the hunt for the right whale in the Arctic reg ions. The memorial to the whalen7an, however is a real work of art, and the little matter Of clothing is overlooked.
 But those who were criticising The WhaleInan statue ought to have had peep at Mrs. Lanphere's big paint ing of scene in the Arctic ocean. There were the immense icebergs, the A0S HUGS dIA0 dA1 SuCn lTlE1Q SuDJCCSS, and of course the whales and the whalemen with all their boats and fish ing outfit, with the whaleship in the distance. In this picture were whale men, some with white shirts, some with red and some with blue, and nearly all had shirts rolled to the el- bow, while here and there in the pict- ure were the aeclimated Esqumaux dressed from head to foot in native furs. So it is not new to have blund- CTS in art in which the frigid Arctic is being considered
 During the past week there was an automobile Tn this section with adver- Using on the sides of the limoursine representing an arctic scene with a big whale as the center piece In this picture the sailors of the whaIemen type wore the unifrom of sailors of the United States navy and did their whale hunting in smack boats. There Is an ice cream delivery wagon not many miles from New London with arctic scene painted on the sides. There are the icebergs and the Polar bear and the green trees are growing all around

 Again, l beg my correspondent not to think l am advising this sort of thing for his farm IL works we'll with me on that bit of land. It might not work al all with him on different soil. You never can tell anything about farming till you try it out.
 That is, to me, one of the very charms of .farming:-it keeps you guessing all the time. It isn't a set of cut and dried rules; of exact formu- lac: of fixed and invariable sequence from cause to effect. It's a case of cut and haste and try on and cut over again
 Most every man has in him some thing of the gambling instinct In one sense, that's about what farming is, "a big gamble There are some few general rules about it, same as about cards or dice: there is a big element of chance. same as with cards or dice. There's just as much luck" in the fall of the rain or of the thermometer across your fields as in the fall of cards or dice across table And. whereas with the cards you have only 6fty-two to guess about and with the dice only half dozen. on the farm you have either three hundred or three thousand.-Ive never found out which.

In order to straiui1ten Howard street at the junction with Bank street and materially widen the entrance into the latter street, an improvement for which there was actual need, the city pur- chased from Ex-Mayor NJ Wilson Dart the property known as Dart corner. and was obliged to pay for it the sum of $16, ,000, about double it's actual value Still if was 8 wise expenditure as it was the most hazardous danger spot in the city for veflicular traffic in one of the busiest of thoroughfares. The property is really more than the city actually needs for the co1teTnp- lated improvement and there has been some talk that a, section of the prop efty would be rented for commercial purposes for the present. Hardly had this idea been promulgated when out comes the ex-naagoF with the deelara- ton that the sale was made to tha city for highway purposes and that he would see tS it that the property or any part of 1t was not utilized fer any other purpose lie threatens ts enjoin if any attempt is made te use the property fer commercial purposes OF any other except for tie improvement of the highway,

We all know that corn has a tre- H1end0us lot of roots; that they spread out wide and dig down deep It is called a gross feeder" also req soned tfaI one explanation Of the sod land practice might lie in the fact that. when turned-oEeF sward rots. it leaves the soil very porous, thus unalz- ing the growth Of corn roots easier. Also that the decomposed sod fur nishes vegetable manure which the corn roOtlets may find just suited to their feeding taste

The new automobile chemical and hose wagon purchased by the city of New London and to be located in the house of the Thomas Hose company in the northern section of the city ar rived Friday. It is of the Pope Hart ford make and now there are three motor-driven fire apparatus in the department and one more has been ordered, not by the city but by the Northwest Hose company following the example set by the Niagaras twelve years ago in the purchase of Old Maude. The apparatus are all of different make. the Niagaras having a triple action American LaFranc which has powerful pumps in addition to the chemical and hose features. The Pequots have an Oldsmobile and the NorthWests are to have a Webb. The only companies that are lacking in the motor driven cars are the F. l.. Allen Hook and Ladder company and the Nameaugs, Konomocs and Ock- lords.

Thereris perhaps need for new and modern hook and ladder truck, but the department can get along very nicely without the substitution of and more automobiles for the horse drawn apparatus, until the area of the city is materially increased, especially when almost any section of the city can be reached by the big Niagara machine, with hose chemicals and pump, with in three minutes The Thomas and Northwest machines should make equally as fast time as they are much lighter than the Niagara, while the Pequot has demonstrated speed and efficiency The Thomas company is soon to take a trip to North Adams and planned to take the new auto chemical along, but notice has been served by the fire committee that the machine is the property of the city and must not be taken beyond the limits of the city on any Junketing trip.

New LondOn's Associated Charities
Miner Property Main Street Purchased By Palmer Bros Its Permanent Home-Queston Over Use of Dart Property-Troubles of Ex-Mayors-Fne Department Matters

There are indications that betoken pernaanency for the New London As sociated Charities a new organization that already has a home George s. Palmer is president of the organiza- ton and before it had been in actual existence for a week the Palmer Bro thers purchased the Miner property in Main street as the permanent home of the workers who are to cSsume the management of charities for the city, or rather the citizens. the charity department Of the city is entirely fn- dependent in action and the new or ganiZat1On does not undertake to aS- su4ne the city's responsibility to care for the poor that would naturally re- ceive aid from that source. Still the Associated Charities will be far-reaeh- ing in it's work and have fuH knoWl- edge of the aid given the poor through the charity department. The members of tine new organization propose to in vestigate all charitable cases and will see to it that the deserving poor are given proper attention and that there will be no need of anyone in the city suffering for the rea1 necessities of life, but there will be an end to im- position aEd professional PaupefisH.
 Tfae Miner property was the home ct the late Sidney Miner, an old time wa aaiina merchant and at one time partner with the LawFeHees. The Mi neF property adjoins that of the LaSEF- ence property ia Maia street and the Miner and the Lawrence houses are al most duplicates, The Miner house is large and well adopted for the pHT- poses of the Associated Charities. For the past three years tf76 house has beeA used as the Day nursery, and the upper part Of the house will continue to be devoted to that purpose. The Palmer Brothers ia acquiring the prep eFty fes the purpose have done aR act of charity that has hardly ever been equa4led ia the city and which is ap- Preeiated by all classes of citizens, the rich. the poor. all without regard to race, creed or former condition Of servitHde. New LoHdof has been made better by the coming of the Palmer Brothers.
