and that 36 per cent. of the popula- ton of the United States is engaged in farming or supported by it. DeS- bite this showing, agriculture taken as 8 wtole, has not prospered It is agreed that there must be changes, which may be centered about three things:
 CD better agriculture, CD better m arkets and (3) better financing.
 Better agriculture, is fairly well taken care of through the work of the department of agriculture, in the activities of the farming associations and by the schools and colleges. But, it has been clearly shown that bet ter agriculture depends upon an ade- uuate system of finance. Improve nents have taken place in the quick CT transportation of products and in prompter financial service. Yet these have not touched the real problem.
 Got to Be Bridged.
 "Retween the farmer and the con- sumer there is a great commercial and financial gap. In the mercantile world this gap between the producer and the consumer is being bridged apidly by the establishment of the 2ecessary machinery of branches and gents But, the farmer is playing 1e game along and finds it increas- ,gly difficult to protect himself yainst his own ignorance and isola- on.

Berlin News SELECTMEN HOLD LENGTHY SESSION
Transact a Large Amount of Busi-
 ness in Six Hours
TO REPAIR TOWN ROADS
Berlin Girl to Become Bride of New 1 Britain Man-Lyceum Debate De- cides Worlxmens Demands For
 Shorter Hours Not Justifiablc.

The board of selectmen met yester- day and transacted considerable bus mess in a six hour session. John A. Moore, the newly appointed third se- lectman, attended his first meeting as a member of the board. First Se- lectman William H. Gibney presided.
 The first business to come before the board was the appointment of a personal tax enum orator. In former years this work has been done by Francis H. Shaw. He has refused to act in that capacity this year and the work will be performed by E. w. Mill drum. It was voted to rent the town hail to the Berlin basketball team at $5 night. This is done to give the boys chance to see if they can run their games in an orderly manner. A clause was inserted that any unneces- sary damage done to the hall must be paid by the team.
 < The selectmen voted to make a temporary loan of $1O,0OO to carry the town until next May and an order for that amount was drawn in favor of the town treasurer. Besides this orders were drawn amounting to $6,- 300, of which $677.7S will pay the . county tax, $3378.65, the state tax and $514 the military tax. The remainder of the sum will be used to pay cur rent expenses, such as hospital and insane bills.
 The next question to be taken up was the matter of the roads of the town. A lengthy discussion was held on the condition of Worthington
 Ridge. The street is in deplorable
 condition and is proba ply the worst road between Hartford and New Ha- vep. The street is a trunk line and cofnes under the jurisdiction of the state highway department. It is full
 of holes and when the automobiles go
 by, they splatter the oil even as far as the sidewalk. Only last Friday two women complained their dresses were ruined by the splattering of the fluid caused by d passing automobile. Se- lectrnan Gibney was instructed to take inc matter up with Commissioner Bennett and get him to repair the road immediately, if possible. The town pays nothing towards the sup. port but the condition of it will be raIled to the attention of the state highway department and a request made that it be put in better shape. The question of the Beech Swamp road was also discussed and it Was decided to exert pressure on the state highway department so the work ot ! repairing it will be started very soon
 The Blue Hills road was brought to
 notice next and $500 was appropriat-
 sd to put 1t in passable condition. A

dren more than men, and men more
than women, are susceptible to sun
stroke. and heat exhaustion. This
is pointed out by DR.. 8. Lewis
Ziegler, director of the department OF
health and charities, In discussing
sunstroke and heat exhaustion and
their treatment.
Doctor Ziegler explained that sun
stroke is caused by high atmospheric
Temperature, especially when 1t is
associated with a high relative humt-
dity.
Zieeler, which is highly saturated
with moisture, prevents the disstpa-
ton of heat from the body. and
consequently causes an increase OF
body temperature resulting IN neat
stroke. Children are very suscept-
ible to the influence Of heat. when .nn.a
often manifests its effects In form
of bowel trouble, commonly known
as summer complaint Men are
more frequently affected than wo-
men. because the former are more
subject to exposure.
Doctor Ziegler said the heat e1-
haustion occurs more frequentiy
among those who use alcoholic IL
quors excessively. He said the enec!
