ed the putting in of an experimental
plot of oats, this plot will be gotten
ready after the oats are harvested
and planted to alfalfa.
In the corn experiments, there will
be seed corn used from the best
growers in the county, and the corn
test adapted to the conditions in the
county will be found. There will
also be what is called single ear tests
in connection with the larger tests.
Several years ago there was very
unfavorable report circulated about
the sol. in Decatur acounty and sur

ment station, we will be able to show
the country at large that Decatur
county can raise just as good crops
as some of the more advertised

WILL BUILD NEW BRIDGE
Lively Town Meeting Votes $2,ooo
 for the Structure.

The special town meeting called at Town Hall yesterday afternoon brought about out 30 voters. Charles l.. Rood was chosen chairman.
 Town Clerk Allyn Fuller read the call, which was, to see if the town would vote to build new bridge over the Konkapot river, near the old Barnes lime-kiln on the Clayton road now being constructed by the state.
 MT. Reed stated that the state high way commissioner had recommended a new bridge there, as the present bridge is inadequate to carrX the water and the conditions created By the new road.
 Levi Bronson asked how long the people were to be superseded by the highway commissioner. Every time we touch this state proposition we get hit, he said, and he thought it was about time the town found bottom and stood on it. He was tired of the confounded foolishness. We keep get ting into it, and we keep getting stung. The state road is not permanent road. You can't build a permanent road of white beans We keep carting on sand 0uu CllS 1G Ol1, dh1L WO gu hOpAiAAe5 out gravel and whole lottof graft.
 J. Clinton Roraback interrupted to offer motion that the bridge be built as described in the call.
 Mir Reed offered an amendment, that the selectmen be authorized to borrow not to exceed $2, 900 for the ex- pense of building the bridge.
 After considerable discussion on the part of. various individuals--all of S l4o1l were sometimes talking at once -ond description of the condition by Mir. D. L. Feirce, the motion was unanimously carried. ~. e.

 Goers Stare Sunday Morning.


 Halloween, Saturday night, brought out all the hob-goblins, witches and evil spirits this side of 1ophet, N. Y, and the deviltry that was afoot that night left it. earmarks in conspicuous evidence, to entertain the good people on their way to church the next morning
 A business wagon and a sulky were deposited on the roof of the Savings Bank building, having been hauled up, with ropes, over the east side. The operation must have entailed an amount of work that would have disheartened the young goblins if it had been assign ed to them in the shape of useful task. However, it made an oramental decora- tion for the bank, and evidently it pleased the esthetic taste of the occu- pants of the building, as it was per mitted to remain there several days. AS matter of fact it is still there.
 The political hob-goblin got in his fine work, at the expense of Candidate George Ford, by writing on his show windows, i'll conspicuous white, such legends as "Vote for Gravesp "The ring is brokenp' etc. and on a picture of an imposing monument was inscribed, '" Here lies Fordn Evidently hob -gob- lin democracy was rampant that night.
 The settees from the Town Hall green were brought down and deposited in Horace Humphreys door-yard.
 A mammoth embroidered banner was displayed in front of the bank, pro- claiming that Somebody's Chocolates were obtainable inside, and other pranks, more or less amusing and more or less mischievous were played, about town, to give force to the old adage that Boys will be boys" D. ....
