Priest Tells Of Wreck.

1T was the providence OF God that
travelled by that train, for they would
have died without the sacrament

St. John Nepomucene Slavonic Cath
Ole Church. at No. $50 East 9th street,

had come from the scene of the acct
dent thanked God that he had been a
passenger on the wrecked train.
Father Berhely said his bruises were
slight. and he had had no time TO at
tend TO them. On his return 10 the rec
tory he found a number Of his
parishioners waiting for him-some of
them sick and some needing charity.
He attended their wants and said moth
ing Of his experiences until reporters
sought him out.
He said that he had gone to Bridge
port TO visit a brother priest and had
been prevailed upon TO stay for the 4: 1s
train. instead of going by train leav-
ing at 2:30 o'clock.
Early arrivals on the scene found
Father Berhler coolly taking charge
Of affairs and directing the work Of
rescue. Although injured himself he
refused TO SO TO a hospital until others,
more seriously hurt, had been taken
care of. He is at the Stamford Hos
pital with slight injuries. Telling Of
his experiences, he said:
Il was seated about midway in the
Pullman. and little dreamed of trouble.
There was no warning, just a smash
that rOared in my ears and is ringing
now. The next instant the whole car
was topsy- turvy. Men and women
seemed TO be almost suspended in the

from New Haven. The wrecked parlor

was drawn off about a quarter OF a

after II occurred. He said that he
would hold an inquest tomorrow morn

missing engineer and fireman, who
alone could testify as 10 the cause OF
the smash-up, will turn up by that
time.
Railroad employees at the Stamford

Prosperity Depends
on the Community

II you are a farmer the value OF
your farm depends on the value of
the adjoining farm. and the value OF
both depends on the value of prop
erty in the nearest village or town.
Farms near prosperous towns are al.
ways more valuable than those near
dead towns. And this is true without
regard to the fertility Of the soil.
The farmer depends on the town
just as the town depends for pros
perity on the farmer. Their destia.
les are interlinked; their interests
are common. What hurts one hurts
the other. Poor crops will affect the
lefty resident who does not even raise
tradishes. and depressed business al
fairs affect the former who depenrs
on soil, weather and muscle for his
living.
Money sent to mail order houses
helps to turn thriving towns into
dead hamlets. 1t thereby depreciates
the value Of farm land. 1t decreases

directly use the products Of the farm

Good Defense Made
for Retired Farmers

The retired farmer is quite often a
subject of criticism by many town
people. He is held up az a tightwad
and a stumbling block to progress. He
is held up as a man Of much means
who refuses to divide up at the pub
lie trough. Such criticism is nothing
new. 1t runs back to the time when
Iowa began to have retired farmers.
1t has often occurred to the writer
that there was much to be said in
favor Of the retired farmer.
The retired farmer of the present
day is usually a man who has worked
hard and necessarily for a years.
He began the weary grind before
many of his critics were born. He
sold corr in the earlier days for is
cents per bushel, oats for 10 cents,
eggs for 5 cents, butter for 10 cents,
and hogs for 8 cents. Getting on in
the world wasn't very rapid in those
days. Such prices didn't eat up very
many mortgages per minute.
The retired farmers wife toiled late
and early, washed, scrubbed, churned,
hoed in the garden, raised the chick
