of interest to many Sutton friends:

pneumonia Tuesday forenoon, after
4 l. I,

ened to the extent that she grad
ualy sank from Monday until the end.
Mrs. Ball was born in Sutton, and
was 48 years and six months of age.
She has resided in town FL years
and was woman who won the love
and esteem of all by her many acts
of kindness and her ever pleasant
word and smile. Her thoughts were
always for others more than for self,
and the amount of good she has ac-
complished will never be measured.
Some over rs years ago she married
Henry I. Ball, and since residing here
she and her husband have won hosts
of friends. She was member of the
Congregational Church and one of its
most active workers She leaves a
husband, mother, Mrs. Gorilla Camp
bell, who is quite sick at this time,
four sister and three brothers, Gill
bert M. of Lyndonville; Mrs. G. o.
Abbott of Brattleboro, Mrs. E. A.

day afternoon, Rev. Grant L. Schaef-
fer officiating. Fremont j., Orville

Large quantities of floral offerings
told of the esteem in which she was
held. Interment was made in the

Comments from Connecticut

The State Of Delaware has beer
facing this year much the same
sort of financial problem as that
which confronts the State of Con-
necticut. But Delaware has work
ed out a satisfactory and econOm-
ical solution of its problem, while
the work is still to do here in the
Nutmeg State. It is to be hoped
we here can show the came perfect
and harmonious team work and
the same real achievements IN the
elimination of extravaganza, when
we come to sum up the work OF
the session, as Delaware has to its
credit. There is no reason why
such should not be obtained and
every reason why it should be
eagerly sought.
Briefly the situation at the Del
aware capital in January was
that there had been such heavy
falling of revenue below the level
of expenditure that it was feared
bond issue was the only solution
of the problem of state solvency.
Even before the session started
the governor prepared a budget,
which showed in detail the exact
condition of the state finances.
And an approximate idea was also
given of the annual revenue Of the
state. With this basis to work
upon the governor and the appro-
priation committees of both houses
labored together with intelligence
and harmony to devise ways and
means for cutting down eXpendi
ture and increasing revenue as far
as could be justly done in the in
terest of the taxpayer. Splendid
results followed this working to-
gether Of the committees of the
legislature and the governor. The
expenditures of the state were
scaled to such a degree that a
bond issue, which would CORES
pond to the state tax we have here
in Connecticut, was found unnec-
essary. By the exercise of strict
economy and drastic pruning it is
expected that the state of Della

Governor Miller
Visits Norfolk

Governor Charles R. Miller was
a guest Of honor and speaker at
The eighth annual banquet of the
Delaware Society of Norfolk, Va,
Friday night, in the Monticello
Hotel, Norfolk. He was accom-
panied to Norfolk and to the din
rer by General Alexander P. Cor
BIT, of Odessa, a member of the

ware will live within it's incomes,
during the next fiscal year. That
IS good business and good politics.
There does not seem to be any
:alid argument that can be ad-
vanced against an equal display of
5eam work on the part of the legis-
lGtors and the governor of Connec-
ticut. In fact we have as much
or more need of it in view of
the critical financial problem that
The state is facing. With an intel
!igent budget to work upon and
cooperation between the chief ex-
ecutive and the committees which
deal with questions of revenue and
appropriations the people Of Con-
lecticut can look for an equally
desirable solution of our particu-
lar difficulty.
But team work and harmony are
essential. There must be a COM
mon goal selected and a common
effort to reach the goal. 1t can
not be attained by robbing Peter
pay Paul or transferring to the
towns the burdens now borne by
he state. What is needed is a re-
9ision of our prodigal system of
haphazard expenditure all along
the line, the cutting out of un-
necessary officers and unnecessary
commissions, the elimination of all
appropriations except those which
are actually demanded by the ne
cessities of the state. Let the leg
islators get this idea of far reach
ing economy fixed in their minds
as the basic demand of the tax
payer and the vital duty laid upon
them and there is every reason to
think that they can work out Con-
necticut's problems with as much
efficiency as Delaware has her
puzzle. But success means united
effort on the part of the workers
for economy. And it means hands
off to all outsiders with axes to
grind at the expense of the state.
That point cannot be too forcibly
brought to the front for public in
spection.

Suffrage Advances In 1915

With three months of 1915 gone,
suffragists declare that the suf-
frage issue has never been of such
nationwide Importance as it has
during the first quarter of the
current year. With the exception
of the five southern states whose
legislatures are not in session this
year and Florida and Georgia
whose legislatures have not as yet
convened, the question of woman
suffrage has come before the leg
islative bodies in every one of the
non-suffrage states so far this
year.
woman suffrage is recognized
in every state in the Union as an
important political ISSUE" says
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, president
of the National American Woman
Suffrage Association, commenting
upon the situation. 81 have work.
ed in the movement for many years
and cannot be foolishly optimistic,
and when | say that never has the
prospect fthe enfranchisement of
all women in the United States
looked so bright as it does at the
beginning of 1915 | am basing the
statement on facts and figures"
Since the first of January, eleven
states have taken favorable action
on woman suffrage in one or more
houses of the legislatures. This
action has resulted in bringing
the question before the voters at
the fall election in New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Massa-
chusetts. 1t has assured vote on
the subject next year in Iowa,
West Virginia, and South Da
kota. Subsequent legislation may
add other states to the list of
those in which the question will
be voted on in 1916.
With the record of favorable ac-
ton in eleven states suffragists
are not discouraged with the fact
that bills providing for full suf-
frage have been defeated in the
five states of Delaware, Mime
sofa, Texas, Maine and Connecti-
cut. Only in Connecticut was the
vote overwhelmingly against the
measure.
DR.. Shaw in commenting upon
Loft re, vi
"Not even the most optimistic
suffragist could expect to record
only victories for the cause. But
we maintain that to have the issue
frankly discussed in the legisla.
tive bodies of the different states
is cause for thankfulness.
"The more open discussion there
is of the topic the better we are
pleased. Why, it was not so very
many years ago that woman suf
frage was C, lsidered subject
for ridicule. q, Now it is no laugh
ing matter. And this change in
attitude has come through discus
sion and debate"
The wonth- Of March alone
holds an important place in the
suffrage calendar. The chronology
of suffrage victories is as follows

HUBBY WAS
MADE TO ORDER"
He Followed Every Rule Laid
Down by Her.

Evanston, Ill-Mrs. Howard Osborn,
college bride of Northwestern univer-
sity, always said If she married at
all she'd marry model man. Hav-
ing no respect for what modern civ
ilization is producing in the way OF
manly perfection, she proceeded to
model a man after her own liking
Result: She's now the bride of q
handsome young collegian, first In ath-
letics, first In scholarship first In the
hearts of his fellow students at North
western.
The college brides plan has Mrs. e.
II. Harriman's million dollar scheme
for perfecting the human race beaten
by a whole generation. Mrs. Harri-
mans perfect man will not arrive until
1880; Mrs. Osborn's is a 1915 model.
And he owes his model character not
to science, but to romance.
When Osborn came from Coldwater,
Mich, to Northwestern university to
work his way through college" the
first coed he became interested In was
Mildred Lamke. Mildred didn't knit
him a rose colored tie, nor did she
embroider college pennants for him,
but she did take great interest in his
diet, in his manner of living and his
plan of study.
The very first present she gave him
three days after their first meeting
was this set of rules:
Rise at 6 In the morning.
Cold shower bath and exercise every
morning.
Breakfast on dry toast and coffee.
Pay close attention to goods.
No smoking. no drinking. no loafng,
no overeating.
Sleep eight hours out of twenty-four.
Practice daily in athletic field.
Howard followed every rule faith
fully for four years. When he was
graduated last June he had a gold
medal for athletics, gold medal for
scholarship, several medals for minor
achievements-and the most popular
girl in college for his promised bride.

FARMER FINDS GOOD
BUSINESS IN SKUNkS
Expects to Market 400; May
Net 81 Apiece.

Allentown, PA unique enterprise
In Lehigh county is the skunk farm of
Solomon Hausman, near Bittner's cor
ner, in Lowhill township. A vigorous
man of forty, Mr.. Hausman looks more
like a successful country doctor than
a farmer and in addition to being
successful agriculturist is prosperous
dealer in skins. One of his cherished
possessions is valuable overcoat
made of raccoon skins which he him
self shot or trapped.
The growing scarcity Of furs and
their rapid increase In price were Mr..
Hausman's motives in making the ex-
pertinent of skunk farm, cut out of
ten acres of his estate. Last year he
killed sixty skunks for market but
this year expects about 400.
He has been successful in bringing
them around to the desired color and
believes that by another year he will
have 80 per cent Of them pure black.
The blacks are the most valuable, their
skins at present commanding So each,
while those striped or mixed with
white are quoted at $1.50 and less.
The skunk farm is not picturesque
place, consisting chiefly of holes In the
ground, with boxes here and there for
houses. There is but one litter year,
which runs from eight to ten kittens.
In December the fur bearers are ready
for slaughter. The skunks must be
fed once a day, and Mr.. Hausman has
discovered that the food they like
best and on which they thrive best is
boiled potatoes.
