 Usually in the spring we hear a great deal about mud and what is to be done after mud time. This year we have not heard a mention of any. thing of the kind.
 There is nothing much more pal. table or healthful in the spring than parsnips from your own garden, and now that there is so much thought about the worlds food supply and the high cost of living, we will suggest a parsnip bed in every kitchen garden that is practically no trouble at all, and yields excellent results.

WALES.

Fraudulent administration of the estate of Isaiah Hiscock of Wales so that about $15, 1000 was secured for himself by deceiving Mrs. Hiscock, the widow, and her daughter, Lillian A. Bowden, is found against the late Herbert A. Mcfarland in a report filed in probate court last week by Wallace R. Heady, as auditor MT. Mcfarland died in 1911, leaving an estate of $25, 900. Judge Heady, who was called in to audit the final account submitted by the Mcfarland estate, sets forth in his 43page report that Mcfarland, finding he had the blind confidence of the widow and her daughter, disposed of four tracts of Hiscock land for sums considerably in excess of the amount the two women thought was to be the sale price, and retained that excess for him. self As auditor he finds that items to. taling $1 5, 1852 7S remains unaccount. ed for by MT. Mcfarland and shall be charged against that estate,
 
 and that $l0O0, or administrator s fees which is claimed to be due to the Mcfarland estate, shall not be paid. Hiscock and Mcfarland were close friends before the death of Hiscock in 1908, and Mcfarland was appointed administrator of the Hiscock estate. On November 26, 1911, Mcfarland died, leaving an estate of $25, 900 with bequest of $500 to the Congre. gational church of Holland and prop. erty to be used in founding a public library in Wales to be known as 'the Mcfarland library" Mrs. Mcfarland is the administrator of her husband s estate, in which she has life inter. est. In settling up her husband 6 affairs she filed his final report of the H iscock estate, showing that a balance of only $4,42l.62 was paid to the Hiscocks. Attorney Charles H. Beck with is now the administrator of the Hiscock estate and has represented it in the present case. Several suits involving large sums were brought against Mcfarland as administrator prior to 1910.

Marcus Jackson of Springfield, a son of s. s. Jackson, formerly of this town, in the opinion of many of the fans, bids fair to have brilliant baseball career. On the Foresters team last season he was the best twirler on the Falls Fraternal league and is now member of the Mt. St Joseph's college nine in Baltimore. As starter he tackled an 8 to de. feat onto Holy Cross. Last season he won eight out of his twelve games and in all cases the defeats he sustained can be attrib buted to wretcled support behind him. He held his opponents to an average of less than six hits per game and an average of slightly less than two earned runs per game were made off his delivery. He is credited with three fve-hit and one two-hit games. For left-hander his control was perfect, and he had an average of 12 opponents per game falling victims to his deceptive shoots
 
 attracted wide attention and he re- ceived several offers to enter pro. fessional baseball this spring, but he preferred to enter college and chose Mt. St. Joseph as his place of mat1ic- ulation. The Baltimore institution considers itself fortunate in securing this brilliant young twiIler and with his assistance expects to have one of the most successful seasons in it's history. It is also looking ahead to future seasons, for Jackson has three more years to perform for the collge, as he is now only freshman.
 About 45O people attended the minstrel show given by the Red Men in conjunction with their annual Trading Post, and it was snappy and happy combination of good jokes, melodious songs and strong chorus. The minstrels were fortunate in having four good end men in Bert Mullins. Wm. Benton, George Miller and Danny Green, and their funny antics and humorous congratulations kept the audience in laughter most of the time. The individual solos rendered by the various members were excellent, Miss Angeline Sena and Miss Coehil especially receiving great applause. The minstrels started promptly on the time with John Horrigan as interlocutor, and much credit is due to F. G. Lynch for the untiring efforts and time that he devoted to the show, and he composed especially for the occasion the finale. On Friday night farce, "A Pretty Piece of Business,'' was presented Wm. Tuthill as the chief character and Miss Mildred Gilman as Dobson, proved to be the shining lights. On Saturday the distribution of prizes took place. Dancing was enjoyed by a large number on all three evenings. The aggregate attendance on all three nights was about HOO, and credit is coming to the committee who were in charge. T. P. Jenkins was chairman of the general com mittees, Miss Elizabeth Argenta chair man of Pocahontas committee, and Wilbur Alberty of the Red Men.

eeOAp AOI ttcAu UO -ulOIIOW uISut at O sO' clock when the town athletic associ- ation will hold benefit at the Ccmique theatre. Through the efforts of the entertainment committee, Miss Mary Pickford will be with us on that occasion, not in the flesh tn be sure, but on the screen and at her best in Daniel Frohman's production of Channing Pollock s famous comedy drama, "Such Little Queen. '' Mary Pickford gets more money than the president. Of the the million Eday who go to the picture shows, surely nine million would rather see Mary Pickford on the screen than Wilson, Roosevelt and Vernon Castle in real life. Mary plays to more people in single night than Maude Adams does in year. Mary can go into any town in the country and outdraw Billy Sunday and the Boston Braves, that is why they paid her $50, 900 salary in 1914, and why, whisper it softly, they will have to pay her little more than twice that in 1915. And we have her in five superb reels on Thursday; the rest of the program follows: Connecticut track championships, one reel; read ing. Miss Mae Hirsch; string duet, Scussel Bros. :; 'Invited to Party,' Rydholm & Treill; solos, Mrs. T. F. Mullen; reading. R H. Valentine. Admission tick cts, 25 cents.

sum. She succeeded In killing II, by
beating II TO death. But here comes
the strange part Of this story. The

look 1t the animal, and her son, Ros.
coe, thought 1t was not dead, In fact,
they oil came to the same conclusion,
for II seemed to be breathing. On
closer examination, they found out
what caused the appearance Of
breathing In the possum's body--l2
young possums were found, and oil
alive, In the pouch, with which these
animals are provided with, by nature,
for carrying and caring for their
young, and where they at once take
refuge when any trouble comes to the
