STORE NEWS
FROM THE
GILBERT IMPLE-
MENT co.

The Farm is a Factory.
We've all heard the news,
but it was only yesterday, as
it were, that we began to be-
lieve it.
A blacksmith shop is not a
factory any more than a man
with a hoe is a farmer or the
corner meat market is a
packing house = but these
facts are still strange to us.
The real farmer, today, is
a producer not a distributor,
a manufacturer not a day
laborer, a wholesaler, or
a jobber, not a retail merch-
ant-and mark you this:
He measures the size Of
his factory by the number of
acres he controls, not by the
height of buildings. The
greatest possible output from
the land is figured and ma
chinery provided to produce
crops to full capacity Of the
farm.
Right here is the dividing
line:
If crop production falls
short of what the land could
be made to produce, then the
farmer suffers loss the same
as any other manufacturer
whose output is below the
capacity of his factory.
Overhead expense and fix
|
ed charges cut down profits
and he must begin to con-
slider himself an inefficient
superintendent.
Go to bed with this idea:
Getting full crop produc-
tion from every acre you own
is a matter of method and
machinery
And a good before break
fast job is to figure out how
you can make it impossible
for any other man in this
wide world to beat you at
your own game.

We the chosen representa- tives of the Democracy of Bridgeport in convention as sembled adopt the following platform:
 We offer, for the considera- Slon of the people, a candidate for mayor who is experienced in public affairs, who is thor oughly familiar with the fbuS- sness of the city, who is sub servient to no special interest Dr faction and who is a firm be- aiever in the Jeffersonian prin- ciple, that the people are SOW ereign and that their govern ment should be administered and that the money of the tax Dayers should be expended in Accordance with the will of the community, rather than to meet the convenience or the de- mands of political groups, eli ques or factions. /
 We pledge, if we are chosen Ho administer the government of the city, an administration of public affairs by Democrats for Hhe whole people in place of the Eexisting invisible government under which public servants have become little more than messenger boys, who do the err rands and reflect the views of Those whom the people have never elected to manage their affairs and whose management Eof their affairs is resented by fhe. people.
 We affirm our adherence to tBridgeport's historic policy, sfhat as far as possible the city lshould pay as it goes and we lpIedge ourselves that no bond led indebtedness shall be creat- led under Democratic auspices, lexcept that which the citizens approve with their votes.
 We pledge a careful adminis- lfration of the city's finances, Econducted with rigorous econ iorny. with a view of overcom- ing, as far as possible, the re- lsults of the extravaganza and neglect of the past two years.
 The present administration ihas occasfoned an enormous in IcPease in the fixed charges of Ifhe city by unnecessary and reckless projects undertaken largely for political purposes. Tine debt and fixed charges so created would be greater by millions of dollars than it now is. had it not been for the op- position of Democratic repre- eentation in the General As lseubly.

WRECK OF RIO
 DE JANEIRO MAY
 BE LOCATED NOW

San Francisco, Oct. 1s-what may be the wreck of the steamship City of Rio De Janeiro, which was sunk inside the entrance to the Golden Gate, Feb. 22. 1901, with a. loss of 122 lives and bullion valued at $2,- 000,0OO, was located, yesterday, by Herman Stelzner, a diver, who made the descent in 128 feet of water in a diving device which he invented In cidentally, Ste1zner set a. new mark for divers in this descent. The previous greatest depth attained is said to be 92 feet.
 Tn describing his descent, stelzner said:
 The tide was ebbing fast on the surface but below there seemed to be the center of an eddy where the wa ter was practically still The ship must have been carried inward until it reached the eddy and has remained there ever since.'
 Stelzner leaves, today, for Japan. where he has a contract to search for lost vessels but San Francisco diver who has bought. the new device for hdiving will continue to seek the treas ure in the wreck

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

->->~---~----->-~@->@>->---~ - istration to fundamentally change the usage and custom of the city with respect to the creation of debt and in other matters, without the consent of the citizens and zrsTfuentfy, Gs in the case of many bonding measures, against the express order of the people.
 We re-affirm the Democratic position that public officers are servants of the community and that their acts of right ought to be and are subject to the veto of the people.
 We believe the people should own and operate the public utilities of this city, acquiring or creating the necessary plants and facilities as expeditiously as may be, but in no case should the city engage in such ownership without the affir- native vote of the people. Pending the municipal opera ton of these utilities, we be- I1ieve that existing organiza- tions operating them should be held to full compliance with their public duties created by law, especially with respect to rates and services, and we be- lieve it to be the duty of the municipal government to in sure to it's citizens the protec- ton given by law.
 We oppose the expenditure of a million dollars for the pro- posed State street bridge as be- ing unnecessary and extrava- gant.
 We pledge that we will sub init to a vote of the people the matter of.athe construction of a new bridge over the Pequon- nook river on the line of Strat- ford avenue under the home rule bonding bill enacted by the last General Assembly which question can then be- consid- cred by the people as distinct from the State street bridge.
 We denounce the favoritism exhibited by the present Re- publican administration in per mitting the Connecticut Go, in violation of the law of the State, to lay macadam between it's tracks on Fairfield avenue in stead of the more costly pave ment laid on the remainder of the highway at the expense of the taxpayers.
 We pledge ourselves to con- tinue Democratic effort for the repeal of the unjust and the un- scientific personal tax and we hereby ratifY and affirm the platforms adopted by the last Democratic conventions of state and nation.

LAST OF ZULU
 WARRIOR KINGS DIES IN AFRICA

Cape Town, Oct. 1S-Dinizulu, the Hast of the warrior kings of the former Zulu nation of South Africa, died to- day. He was son of Getwayo, the King who led the Zulu nation against the British troops in the war of 1879 and who eventually was defeated after he had inflicted a crushing blow on the British army at the battle of Is-i andhlwana when practically the en- fire Twenty Fourth Infantry regiment was massacred. It was during this war that the French Prince Imperial Louis Napoleon was killed while out reconnoitertng with the British troops.
 DinizuIu did not become King when ,7ais father died but was proclaimed la1 ter by the Boers and he led two. or three rebeI1ions against the power. On one occasion, when captured, he was exiIed to the Island of St. Helena, where the great Napoleon died. When permitted to return to his native land he took part in another rebellion af- ter which he was tried and sentenced to four years Imprisonment but was given liberty and a pension.

Two of VOIturnO Passengers Bound For New Haven Uni ted After KroOnIand and SeidIitz Dock.

You'd better take time to investi- gate the offering of building lots at Cottage Place. Whatever Jordan & Selleck advertise is always worth look ing into Cottage Place is in Strat- ford and close to the center of that thriving little town. The value of property in Stratford can't help but advance rapidly, because Stratford is Brfdgeport's best suburb, and is growing more and more popular as a residence and business community. Cottage Place is the fourth tract of desirable building lots that Jordon & SeIIeck have opened up and sold this season This fact surely indicates that there is a big demand for Strat- ford property.-Adv-

 do not wish to be understood as advocating any backward step, for such is not the case. I believe in progress along all necessary lines, but do not believe in unnecessary bonding.
 We should not lose sight of the fact that.whi1e Bridgeport is a great man ufacturing city, it is city of small home owners. Our largest and most prosperous manufacturers are non residents and the great profits are not spent here, but go outside to be spent elsewhere.
 The next city administration will have a legacy of debt, from the pres ent one. of about $110,ooo.0o. being the amount levied by the General As- semb1y, as a State tax on the list of 1912. and which ought to be paid, under the provisions of the law, on or before November 10th next.
 As no provision has been made in the last tax levy for it's payment, it will probably remain unpaid until next year. And as a similar tax is levied on the list of 1913, there will have to be provided in the next taz ! levy two years of State taxes, amount ing to about $220. 100000 in all. l So that it can be readily seen thas with A two mill tax for state ex. penses, and a two and one-half mil tax for debt charges, it will be abso, l lutely necessary to exercise the ut
