CeSseting things and killing things are
 two very unlike processes. It's the ex-
 pert and trained man who always does
 the best work in his special field.
 Tin inclined to think that men who
 make a profession of fighting blight
 and killing bugs would do better Job at it than I, who have to devote at least half my thought and time to
 an entirely different function. that of
 raising crops. And I'm also sure that
 could raise bigger crops if I didn't
 have to waste half the time which might be spent en them in fighting their enemies.
 Probably this suggestion is just an other dream. l own up that it doesn't seem as practical te me as l wish it did.
 But 1t surely would be good thing if some plant could be developed whereby we might be enabled te put some of the work and zeal we now have to use in fighting bugs into rais- | ing potatoes and hay.
 As I'm sure I've said before-per- haps to your tiring-the farmer, as things are, has to keep too many irons in the fire. We'll agree that we all have massive intellects. But even the most massive intellect has it's linn itations. Most men can do some one thing well: 8 few men can do two or three things well: but it's a mighty rare genius who can do several dozen things, all at the same time and all fairly we'll Yet that's just what is expected of us farmers. We are kept l hopping all the time, from one thing to another:-from one special work to another utterly unlike special work. The jobs are there; they've got to be done; we've got to do them. So we go at them, with as much courage and 1 intelligence as we happen to have on l hand. We get through them, some- how, Some we have to skimp for lack

Then Health Officer Black comes back with a letter in the public press in which he states that in deference to the satisfactory treatment he has heretofore received from the members of the court of common council that he has decided not to resign If that bill is not paid at the next meeting, being willing to wait until the com
 nittee on claims decides to make re- port In his letter he makes several friendly references to the members of the court of common council, but man ages to ignore any mention of the mayor. He winds up with what he probably intended as e, blow on the point of the chin of the mayor. when he explains that money sufficient has been borrowed to pay the bills pend ing the action of the council, which he adds Is not in the least creditable for a city as progressive as New Lon don. That intended knockout blow may prove a boomerang, for Mayor Mahan when attacked even by inuendo and iHsinuation is not like unto the duck from whose back the water slides off as if greased. He accepted the first challenge and now the doctor will probably find the mayor in the ring and awaiting the call of time.
 Doctor Black has served the city well as health officer, the best the city ever had. There has never been as progressive a mayor as Bryan F. Ma han. Both are pre- eminent public of fieiais Both are natural fighters, It is a pity the difference cannot be satisfactorily and amicably adjusted and the best interests of the city served thereby. In this instance Dr. Black seems to be the aggfessor and it is up to him to call for time or take the count.

NEW LONDON'S SMALLPOX BILL
Same Old Controversy Over Question of AuthortyIn- cations of a Favorable Report For Donohue-H. M. Lester Old-tme Merchant

Before that little matter of bill of S1000 from Health Officer Black in connection with the small poX eases which was presented at the last reg u1ar meeting of the New London court of common council and refer red to the committee on contested claims, is settled it is liable to result in an open conflict between the may or and the health officer While the general opinion prevails that the bill is perfectly legitimate and not in the least extravagant and should have been paid in the regular order and without reference to the claims com mittee, still there are many who be- lieve that pr. Black went a step too far when he rushed into print and made declaration that if the bill was not paid by the next meeting that he would resign. He virtually declared that as health officer he has the legal right to incur bills to any amount, at his discretion and without obtaining the consent of the mayor, the court of common council or any committee thereof.
 The doctor cast his lid into the ring, so to speak, and Mayor Mahan accept ed the challenge. The mayor stated that he would find out whether the health officer had the authority to plunge the city into debt to any limit that the health officer of himself might determine.

After haegIing for three months ev- CT the action of the Nameaug Engine company in the expulsion of Thomas E. DDneilue from membership in the organization, it really does now appear that the court of common council will take definite action at the next meet ing. On the last election day when MT. Donohue was defeated for alder man of the First ward, his term of office having expired as a city father. the Nameaug company of which he was short time before foreman, ad- ded to his discomfture by passing Q vote of expulsion. The surface cause was the violation of an ancient blue law of the company loaning key to the fire house to a person who was not a, member of the company but the real cause was Alderman Donohue's in ability to land 8 new fire apparatus for the Nameaugs or to get adequate ap- propriation for proposed improvements Tn the fire house, and perhaps another thing or two on the side.
 It Is evident that the real cause was concealed and that the key episode was a subterfuge. When the action of the company came to the court of common council, it was disapproved and sent back with the recommends ton that the vote of expulsion be re- scinded.

 It's qeod deal of load to put on any one mans shoulders. Pernaps' when that new day dawns with the farmers to see the value of organiza- ton and seeuitinatien,Cpe perhaps on that day some method will be found to let us do our proper work or raising crops and to relieve us from the ne- eessity of fighting the world, the flesh and the old scratch while raising them.
 For one l own up to a good deal of pleasure In that sort of Positive Farming which consists in growing things. I never was so brash as to think I could make" things grow. But I can help 'em and encourage 'en lot, if I'm not called away too much of the time to fight our mutual enc mics. That last form of Negative Farming I don't take to, and not ex pert at, and not highly successful with. I do enjoy plugging potatoes. Not that I have any special sympathy with the blamed bugs, but I would rather put in the time training and pinch ing my tomatoes, top p-dressing the thin spots in the clover patch, cultivating and "suckering'' my corn, etc, etc. have to do both-after a fashion The result is that neither is done per fectly It's a sort of halfway job in both cases.

Eve sometimes wondered how 1t im that so many people who are not ac- tual working farmers come to have such absolutely impossible ideas about farming. Perhaps it is because they think only of the positive side of it, the growing phase, They assume that farming consists merely in getting the right seeds and the right soil togeth- CT and then cleaning up the products.

Lester was an expert bookkeeper and thorough business man. For years he was adjutant of the local post of the Grand Army of the Republic and also has been post commander. He took extremely active interest in the affairs of the post in the years that have gone and was in his time perhaps the most active member of the post in advancing it's best interests. But his later years infirmities have kept him so closely confined that Henry M. Lester, once one of the most widely known citizens of New London, was perhaps unknown to half the residents. Hence it is that his demise receives passing notice in local newspapers.
