lief President Wilson Directs
Attention Of Public to
Their Needs.
The committee of railroad execu.
tives, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-five of the leading
railroad systems of the nation, recent.
ly presented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
ficulties now confronting the railroads
of the country and asking for the CO
operation of the governmental authori-
ties and the public in supporting rail.
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Ameri-
can continent and in the dislocation
Of credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
Of the country face a most serious
crisis. and the memorandum is a
strong presentation of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such a
conflagration when the flames meet
is apparent to all. In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
tives say in part: by reason Of leg
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting independently of each other, as
well as through the action Of strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism is here made of the gen.
eral theory Of governmental regula-
ton, but on the other hand, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers Of ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
presidents to the public, character
ICES it as "a lucid statement of plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con-
tinuing, said in part:
"You ask me to call the attention
of the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible Of governmental agencies, and
! am glad to do SO because think
the need very real"
The conference was certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to new world of
effort in which everyone may cooper
ate.
There are many important prob
lens in our complex civilization that
will yield to cooperation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rul-
ings of commissions and financing
railroads is one Of them. The man
with the money Is factor that can
not be eliminated from any business
transaction and the public is an inter-
ested party that should always be con-
suited and happily the president has
invited all to participate in the solu-
ton of our railroad problems.

CITY FOLK BUYING
in NEW ENGLAND
Many Purchasers Are Former
Country Boys Glad To Be Back
In Rural Place Again.
BY c. QUEEN.

New England farms are being picked up
by the city people who intend to occupy
them as rural homes. There IS little call
for this class of property at the present
time for purely agricultural purposes.
For this situation there are many rea-
sons. one of the principal ones is that
for many years the country boys have
been leaving home when they reached the
age at which they could step into fathers
shoes, and the old folks have been obliged
TO yield the care and responsibility TO 9TH
ers. Hence, neglect and lack of thrift
have brought many Of the farms TO where
the oldtime pleasures seem TO have no
further attractions to the country lads
The present value OF the farm, therefore
is a hard question, and yet when consid-
cred in its broadcast sense the fact is es-
tablished beyond question that II is IN
our farmhouses that men of strong bodies
and determined will. of healthy character
and high purposes are reared.
Undoubtedly, the best product OF the
farm is the sterling character il developes
in our sons and daughters; therefore we
naturally turn our thoughts In the direc
ton OF the old farm. City life gives
place to the longing for the old land
marks and many of our deserted farms
have been redeemed by the tired city boys
and girls who left home for the great
city, glad 10 come back. and they have
found on returning that the country is
good enough for them. Consequently
values Of farms are not affected by many
conditions that obtain in other lines of
property.

PLANS MADE FOR
BRIGHTER DANBURY
Gas and Electric Concern
Actively Engaged in Slim
ulating Progress.

The Danbury & Bethel Gas and Elec-
trio Light Company is one OF the nu-
merous properties acquired by Henry
l.. Doherty g. Co, OF New York,
which is actively engaged in promoting
the welfare Of the communities in
which II operates. The directors of the
local company are residents Of the city
and are actively interested in the ad-
vancement of the residential and indus
trial development OF this prosperous city.
Attractive and lower rates have been
made by this Danbury company for the
use Of gas for industrial purposes, and
owing to the favorable terms offered ii
has not only promoted industrial prog
ress, but has eliminated all except one
OF the gasolene plants from which gas
was made. Furthermore, by giving the
best electric power and light at lower
rates. and by promptly attending to the
needs OF the community In a courteous
and most satisfactory manner, it has
served the convenience OF the public and
made Danbury a brighter and more at
tractive city.
One of the most noteworthy features
Of the character Of the Doherty organi-
zation is the opportunity afforded en-
ployes TO improve themselves. All re-
ceive a substantial training and educa-
ton, and are also stimulated to improve
themselves by the awards which eff
cheney merits. As they become more
capable they are advanced TO more re-
sponsibie places in one OF the many
plants.
The Danbury organization has a club 10
which all the employees OF the company
belong. The club Is devoted TO mutual Inn
provement. 1t has we'll selected tech
meal library especially adapted to broad
ening the expert knowledge OF those en-
gagged In the different branches OF the
company Each member OF the club
wears a button. These buttons bear the
emblem Of Henry l.. Doherty & Co. as
we'll as the name Of the local company.
Similar buttons will be used throughout
the Doherty organizations.
At the club gatherings. held in the club
rooms IN the new building of the COM
pany, instructive lectures and exhibitions
are given Provision Is also made for
social enjoyment and recreation, bringing
about an acquaintance and good fellow
ship so essential for co cooperation and sue
cess in the work OF any organization.
The company owns an attractive, well
equipped four story building, the base
ment Of which is devoted TO stockroom.
On the first floor is the cashiers office and
sales department; on the second floor are
offices. and on the third floor an industrial
exhibition and model rooms. the latter
being beautifully decorated and equipped
with all useful gas and electric
appliances. The rooms contain model
kitchen, dining room, bedroom and bath
room So complete arc the furnishings
and the gas and electric equipment OF the
model rooms that they are unequaled IN
the New England States. On the fourth
floor are the clubrooms and other rooms
which will be rented for business Offices.

Albert J. Potter's Place at
Widest Part of Westlake.

One OF the most beautiful places near
Danbury is that owned and occupied by
Albert ]. Potter. 1t IS at the widest part
of Westlake. the great storage reservoir
OF Danburys water system.
The lake was built in 1906 and 1906. and
is one Of the largest artificial bodies, of
water IN Connecticut. As the lake is held
in reserve as much as possible for high
pressure and times of water scarcity, il
is generally well filed and nearly always
beautiful.
II is three miles west OF the city, and
adds scenic distinction to "A naturally at

PLANS FARM BUREAU
Business Mems Association to
Unlock Information Fund.
BY HOWARD IT, DAVIS.
Secretary OF the Danbury Business Mems
Association.

AssOci3tion.
Realizing that the proper development
OF the farming country surrounding Dan
bury is a matter of the utmost importance
TO the commercial interests OF the town,
that increased prosperity for the farmer
means more business for every one. the
Danbury Business Mems Association is
considering the organization OF farm
bureau for Fairfield County This is a
plan which is being successfully worked
out In many other sections of the country
for combining the forces Of city and coun-
try for the general improvement OF condi-
tons in the rural districts.
Under the plan the bankers, members
of the commercial clubs, ministers, farm
ers, railroad men, real estate men and
every one else interested in Improvement
and progress In the county. get together
in central association for better roads,
better farming. better schools. better
churches. better social advantages and all
those other things which make for a bet
ter rural civilization.
Working in cooperation with the
United States Department Of Agriculture
and the State College Of Agriculture. an
expert is hired to help the farmer through
demonstration and advice on his own farm
to increase the efficiency OF his methods
and the size Of his income
This latest plan for unlocking the vast
fund Of information on modern agricult-
ural methods that now lies unused for the
most part by the farmer should, when
organized and in operation, result in
thousands OF dollars Of increased revenue
10 the farmers throughout the county.
This commendable public spirited effort on
the part OF the Business Mems Association
is another indication of the wideawake
and progressive policy OF this organiza-
ION for adjusting the commercial condi-
lions OF the town TO the new demands
that are being made upon It.
