1t is t DO regretted that Mt.
JAMES Il. DUKE has been compelled by
the vandalism of u party OF visitors
to close his estate at S~omerville. New

veloped artihcia.ly. Mr.. DUKE was
glad TO welcome strangers to his
grounds. the fame of which had spread
far and wide. H was following the
example Of the owners OF great es-
tates in England, but he soon found
that his hospitality was abused.
Mr.. DUKE was not discouraged until
an excursion party of several hundred
people from Pennsylvania looted his
flower beds and Uttered his lawns
with the debris Of an open air meal
In England there is more respect for
property. and hospitality Is not often
outraged. Vandalism there is the ex-
ception; here IT is too common.

 Nov. 27, 1915. Editor of the Herald, New Britain, Conn.
 Dear Sir: I have noted a clipping from your issue dated November IT, 1915 relative to the Old Home Week celebration at Waterbury, in which the dedication of the new City hall at that place is mentioned, and have noticed near the end of the article that the cost of the building is men, tiCned as $1,OOO, 100000 exclusive of site and furnishings Inasmuch as reference is made to the cost of the building, I assume that you would wish to have correct information in regard to this item and I therefore write to state that the entire cost of the building complete, including all furnishings, furniture, etc., also ar Chitect's and engineers fees, is ap proximately SIPS, 100000. The only cost that is not included in the above figure is that of the site. With this information in hand you may wish to have the figure mentioned in the article of November 17th corrected to correspond with the exact cost. This very low record of cost is a matter of pride to me, as I have no doubt eating efficient management of the funds entrusted to us. I remain
 Yours very truly,

The Roumanian farmer is quite superstitious, and, in his agricultural endeavor, makes use of a number Of signs in which not only the moon, but all nature, takes part Thus, when the sparrows flutter about, chirrup- ing; when the cattle show nervous restIessness and the forest gives forth unusual sounds; when the cock crows all day long, the ducks thresh the ground with their wings, and the frogs croak necessarily when the mist rises. the sun sets in a cloud, and your ears itch, there surely will be rain. When on the other hand, the sparrows take a bath in the dust, when the storks stand quietly in the field, the lambs gambol gaily, and the cat, after washing her face, looks at the door, there will be fine wealth CT. But when the sparrcws are hur- rying about looking for shelter; when the lark dashes against the windows; when the cattle below, looking up in- to the air, and the pig goes about with a straw in his snout, then a storm is threatening.

 That proceeding reminds us might fly of this old-time tale illustrative of the newspaper. reporter of other days. In a murder trial the counsel for the defense was trying to ascer- tains something relative to the past life of a newspaper man.

 You then went to the Detroit Free Press. Why did you leave there?" demanded the lawyer
 Because the editor and I could not agree on a question of national poli- tics,' said the newspaper man.
 The same answer was given to 8 number of similar questions. Finally the judge lost patience and rapped for order You will tell this court" ne Qemanded, what was the QueSI1On of national politics upon which you and your chiefs could agree,' and the newspaperman said, Prohibition"

Honesty flu Advertising.
Waterbury Democrat. )

w oSSlOuIy hSIIiOS1 Cl''
 The federal trade commission has decided that dishonest advertising is "unfair competition and in violation of the Sherman law It will therefore investigate complaints of such adver- Using that are formerly laid before it.
 It has taken this attitude as result of pleas made by the Associated Ad- vertising Clubs of the World, which are laboring to abolish all crooked advertising in the interest of fair play in business. Herbert $. Houston president of the Advertising clubs, in putting the case before the trade commission, explained that dishonest advertising is one of the worst forms of unfair competition, because it pen alizes the honest business man for the benefit of an unscrupulous compet1- tor. There are honest advertising laws in thirty-two states, but often the advertiser is a resident of one state and the advertisement is pub 1ished in another, so that the offense is an interstate matter and cannot be reached by state law It is therefore unnecessary for the federal govern ment to act, if the honest advertisers are to have adequate protection. The interest of the public in the matter is, if possible, more vital even than that of the square business man. MT. Hou- ston says he has the authority of the post office department for the state m ment that in the past four years $6O,- 100000 a year has been filched from the American people by fake invest ment concerns alone. The editor of a farm paper published in Des Moines declared that 5000 cases of false ad- vertising could be placed before the commission within thirty days Let it not be imagined, however, that ad- vertising in general is "crooked." The fact that the government is assuming this new duty at the request of the country's advertising men themselves groves the keen desire of the profes- sion for absolute honesty. and shows that the dishones ad is the exception and honest ad the rule. It is, in fact
 an admiral ble tribute to the cleanness
