It is a we'll known fact that bare land left hard and uncultivated will lose a large amount of moisture by evaporation. To prevent this, one should blow or har- row the fields immediately after the harvesting of the oats, and cultivate frequently every week or 10 days. Those who are planning to seed down any of their fields, whether oats or sod land will obtain a better seed bed if the blowing is done immediately. or after a good rain following the cutting of the hay.

NEW FAIRFIELD'S TAX
 COLLECTOR IS SUED.
An Alleged Shortage of $13,ooo in tn,
 Towns Funds.

New Fairfield. Conn.,, July 15.-As a result of an alleged shortage in town funds, three suits for aggregate dam ages of $13,000 have been brought against Tax Collector Charles Gorham by this town, and papers in the suits were filed today in the superior court in Bridgeport. Isaac Knapp and Hen ry Backer, who were bondsmen for Gorham, are named as co-defendants. Fifteen pieces of property owned by Gorham have been attached.
 The town claims that before June 1, 1910, the collector wrongfully appro- priated to his own use $5,000 which had been paid in taxes. In 1911 he is all legged to have taken $4.0O0 and in 1912 the same amount.
 Separate suits are brought to co 'er the alleged shortage in each of these three years. Gorham says there Is some mistake and denies any wrong doing. The suits are returnable to the September term of court.

CUT HAY AT PROPER SEASON.
Much Value is Lost if Crop is Allowed
 to Stand Too Long.

Much of the value of hay is lost each season by allowing it to stand altogether too long. Where large areas are cut, some must be cut too early or too late, possibly both, but since the palatability as well as the digestibility is lessened, over-ripening should be eliminated as much as pos sible

A PROGRESSIVE VIEW

The Republican state convention
was a regular carnage of the inno-
cents. The real candidates we G
lead up to the scaGold and slaughter
ed in one, two three order. Messrs.
Howe. Fleetwood, Clement, and Pow
ell were led to believe that there
would be a clean and open fight but
they were all doublc-crossed even be
fore the convention assembled. The
Montpelier State House gang did the
tick in collusion with Senator Dill
bingham and his bunch OF cohorts. Ii
was a beautiful example Of Rcpubl-
can machine rule with stllwlrt re-
dictionaries in complete control.
Even the night before the convon-
tion the indications pointed to an
open contest between the four active
candidates but the Dillingham; crowG
had the game all bottled up In Sc
crecy days before and did not open
their guns until after the convention
was in session. The people wero jub-
liant over the prospects OF a real
representative convention with a
clean contest in which the best man
would win but their hopes were shat
tered when the steam roller with jug
ge-naut power moved down with
ruthless consid grafton the inherent
rights OF the Republican electorate.
No such duplicity was ever shown in
any representative convention.
The action at Chicago two years
ago was tame as comparoa with the

UNDECIDED, SAYS BERLIN
Germans Are Hammering the French
Positions

SayviIle, l.. l., Oct. "a wireless
dispatch from Berlin yesterday says
that according to announcement
made in Berlin yesterday the great
battle in France is still undecided.
The Germans are described as ham,

The attempts OF the allies to break

the fighting before Antwerp the Ger

Belgian forts. German troops cap

Russian offensive movement from

mans in the province of Suwalk is
declared to have failed. 1t is official

PUBLICITY
surel Cure for Corporate DIG
eases.

Tho startling disclosures of cor
porate mismanagc in the last
ten years have brought about
general feeling that publicity OF
corporation affairs Is both neces-
sary and desirable for tho future
well-being of all corporations. This
publicity may be affected in many
ways and should give the public as
well as the stockholders such In
formation as win eliminate all pos
sible chance for corruption and
Encouragement
In the past. managers OF some
corporations have operated their
business in more or less arrogant
fashion, pcrsistcnty refusing TO
make their acts known TO the pub
lie or even to their stockholders. In
most instances IL these operations
had been made public at the time.
many OF the ills from which they
are now suffering would not have
occurred. and millions OF dollars OF
iuvestment would have been saved.
The effect Of corporate misman-
agcment is greatly magnihed. how
ever, when its discovery comes too
late by governmental investigation.
Generally speaking. II the facts
were voluntarily made public. or IL
they were made known through e.
tablishod methods OF publicity. in
the regular course OF business. the
mismanagemcnt of the corporation
would never occur or IL could be
rcmedied Immediately and the bad
effect OF 1t would be comparatively
small.
And so It Is with many houses of
business-in the field OF commerce
and manufacture. They are afraid
OF publicity--nfraid to have their
factories examined and 10 let pur-
ohasers verify statements or facts
concerning the goods. The only
conclusion to be reached in such
case IS that the manufacturer has
something to conceal. which. n dis
covered. would not bear out his as
sertions.
Publicity in relation to all bust
ness matters IS the best cure for
their evils, Just as light and air
