Repudiating Farm Advisers

Some of the counties in this
state having tried advisers, are
proposing in the future to get
along without them.
One half of the expense of
these theoretical agriculturists
falls on the county, one fourth on
the state and one fourth is paid
but the National government.
Salaries vary, but $4,000 a year is
about what one supposed to be
worth his pay. demands and
gets. Very few of the farmers
he advises, while they work like
thunder early and late, make one
third as much as the fellow who
tell them how to do it. Wind pays
better than work.

Our honored contempory, the

cause Hon. R. W. Rucker, while
prosecuting attorney, prosecuted
violaters of the local option law
and now as a plain lawyer prac-
tising his professian, accepts en-
ployment by those ch arged with
such violations and complains
equally because Hon. Roy Nc

Tended alleged violaters of the
local option law and now, as
states attorney, prosecutes such
alleged offenders. Had the able
editor further complained that
a great number of those who

Billy Sunday has no business

Those Hens

Don't keep a hen after its Sec
ond year. A hen raised this
year will lay more eggs next
year than it will the next two or
three and its producing qualities
decrease steadily after the first
year. The two-year-olds lay
more eggs and propagate their
kind in a healthier stock than
the older ones. They are better
for breeding and laying.

Conservative Leader Says Bulgarian Action in Serbia Has ChanSco
 Opinion in Balkan State.

Milan, Nov. 1, via Paris, Nov. Z, 5:45 a. m.-"TWo weeks of Bulgarian action in Serbia has brought about a change in Rumanian public opinion which sixteen months of intervention ist propaganda failed to do,' M. Filpe- sco, leader of the Rumania conserva- tives, is said by the Bucharest corre- spondent of the Corriere Della Sera to have declared in an interview.
 s'The Bulgarians' conduct contin- ued M. Filpesco, "has shown our peo- pie the danger which threatens them. Notwithstanding material difficulties the sentiment which caused interven- tionist manifestations is an eloquent expression of the will of the country, which does not want to allow itself to be stiffled by Bulgarians and Hungar- ians.'
 The Corriere Della Sera's corre- spondent expresses the belief that rapid and successful action by the allies in the Balkans cannot fail to bring about the entry of Rumania int the war on their side.

New Haven, Nov 2-InvestigatiOn is being made by the local police to determine whether I4indel Bosw orth, alias "Honey' BudlOng, who killed Detective Bennett w. Dorman of this city, and who died late yesterday in Bridgeport from bullet wound re- ceived at the hands of the police while trying to escape capture in Stratford, was connected with the shooting and killing of Justice w. $.

 The police say that they have no definite evidence of his connection with that crime. but declare that John McNally, Bosworth's confederate, who was arrested. here just before the shooting has told them that Bosworth had said he had shot a man but did not say where. McNaIlv also has said, according to the police that Bos- worth told him. he intended to kill the chief of detectives in Providence.
 To Identify Body.
 McNally was taken to Bridgeport today to identify Bosworth's body The police do not believe that Me- Nally has told them all he knows about Bosworth and will question him further.

The Ancient Barbers.
(Boston Globe.)

In the time of Louis XIV. and of ton was under way, for there were then barbers proper or perruquiers, barber surgeons and surgeons. The barber were made to confine themselves to minor operations of blood-letting and drawing of teeth, while, on the other hand, the surgeon was prohibited from "barbery or shaving This distinction has been broken down in recent years by the surgeon, who most frequently acts as barber before undertaking his more specialized activities.
 The barber's sign two centuries ago consisted of a striped pole, with a basin suspended from it. Both the basin and the stripe indicated that his surgical function was of special inn portance, for the former represented the receptacle for blood and the lat ter the ribbon for wrapping the arm during and after bleeding.
 The basin has disappeared from the sign, but the striped pole is of historic significance to the man of medicine, and he should humble himself be- fore it as he enters the tonsorial par
 
 and white so often seen were signifi- cant of white bandage about an arm we do not know, but it might we'll have been the case.
 Until the time of Lister doubtless both barber and surgeon were alike, equally aseptic and septic. Then came a separation in this respect, but more recently the wielder of the razor and shears is also finding, partly from compulsion, that cleanliness makes him more godly in his trade While the barber now limits his surgical practice to squeezing out backheads or extracting burrowing hairs, he on the medical side applies facial massage and attempts to cure seborrhea, alopecia and ringworm. Cleanliness inside and out is an essen tial of health. and so far as can be accomplished by external treatment the barber might with sufficient train ing excel the dermatologist, who only prescribes.
 The barber, though his fees arc small and his working hours long is still working in line with his prouder

5O.OOO WATERS IN
 NEW YORK TO STRIKE
Plan to Tie Up Hotels and Restau- rants in Metropolis-Want More
 Pay and Shorter Hours.

New York, Nov. "A general strike involving the 5O,00O walters in the hotels and restaurants of New York city is being planned, according to a statement issued yesterday by the Hotel and Restaurant Employees In ternational Alliance and the Bartend- CTS International league. The leaders propose to profit by the experience in the unsuccessful attempt to tie up the hotels and restaurants in a gen. eraI strike two years ago. The plan is to enlist the cooperation of tho musicians, cooks and bartenders in order to make the strike effective.
 Max Pftkewski, who says he has re- gently been active in behalf of the walters in Cleveland Ohio, has been chosen to manage the general strike here.
 'sThere is general dissatisfaction among the walters all over the city and they are preparing for a general strike order" he said yesterday. ':Their chief grievance is that they are compelled to work seven days a week. The demands of a general strike will be for a six day week, higher wages and a ten hour day.
 The failure of the first strike is at tributed to the lack of organization on. To assure the success of the contem- plated action weekly conferences have been held every Thursday for some time at the headquarters of the Mus ical Mutual Protective union for the purpose of enlisting the support of the allied trades before going into the strike.
 The plan of campaign is to divide n
 at a time until the entire city is af- fected. The first move will be to cal out 15,OO0 walters employed in hotel; and restaurants below Fourteenth | street, according to Pitl1ewski. Tht general strike will have the direct as ! sistance of the American Federation of Labor, the Central Federated uniol and the United Hebrew Trades, it j: l said.
