The death of John B. Herreshoff, the blind boat builder of Bristol, R. l., who designed and constructed the fastest sailing craft that ever f1oated, recalls a visit of MT. Herreshof to New London more than quarter century ago. He came aboard the Stiletto, then the fastest steam driven vessel in the United States, and afterwards added to the navy and was among the first of the torpedo boats. The Still etto had been launched but a short time and had not been turned over to the navy department, and came to New London on a builders trip. The Stil- etto came alongside the custom house wharf, so-called, and naturally at- tracted considerable attention, espec- ially as she was then known by reason of her great speed. Naturally, among those who went down to see the ship was an ordinary newsgatherer, a re- porter, of the kind that are now termed newspapermen. This chap was on the wharf for business. He wanted to get description of the craft, to- gether with something of the run from Bristol. The reporter queried the apparent captain of the craft and he was referred to "Mr. Herreshoff. the blind man who is at the other end of the wharf" The reporter made his business known and he was given all the information that was worth the printing in regard to the then famous Stiletto.

Tn this connection, attention is called again to the continuous waste of a large quantity of water at the Hebe drinking fountain, at the junction of Truman and Bank streets. That fountain has been in place for about eight years and never a minute in that long period, but the basin has been overfowing into the street. Perhaps more water is actually wasted at that monument than in any five hundred residences that have been visited by the inspector. It would be all right if the water was used, as in the foun- tain in Williams park. or like decora- tive fountains, but the Hebe fountain is simply a drinking place for horses and the water would supply the needs of many families, and lowers Lake Konomoc very much more than a drop from a house faucet, that would not fill the ordinary drinking glass in four hours. That Hebe fountain ought to be inspected.

F-~on in Bristol call and see me- Some years later the reporter d:d call and see the great boat builder. After a few words had been spoken, and no reference made to the New London incident, MT. Herreshoff said: ''Glad you have kept your word and called on me; cannot recall your name, but you are the young man who asked me about the EStiletto when in New Lon don with the boat to give the govern ment inspectors opportunity to look her over. apologize for not com plimenting you on the nice write up you gave my boat, and if not too late, permit me to thank you now" The reporter was given the freedom of the plant. It showed the remarkable mem ory of MT. Hereshoff, for he met the reporter only once before, ten years had elapsed. and he readily recalled the incident upon recognizing the voice of the reporter.

During the present week, several young fellows. residents in the north west section, have been, referred to as gangsters and rowdies, just for doing what the daddies of other boys of like age did when they were boys of the past generation. It appears that one young chap happened to speak to the wrong lady after nightfall, and he was arrested and fined in the police court
 That same night, one of the witnesses against the boy was attacked by some of the fellows associates, and the whole bunch were taken into custody and penalized in police court and ttaA

In the long, long ago, some fellow wrote of the little drops of water mak- ing the mighty ocean, and perhaps this little early day rhyme had some thing to do with the commendable and perhaps necessary action taken by the superintendent of water works to have a house to house inspection, to order a stoppage of leaking of drop of water at a time, for in the aggregate and if continued long enough, these drops wasted would equal the mighty Lake Konomoc in magnitude. An in spector is now making the rounds of private residences and if the faucets are not absolutely tight the inspector leaves a warning to the effect that if these leaks are not stopped within ten days a meter will be placed on the premises at the expense of the house owner. In order to escape this un- necessary expense, the service of the plumber is sought and little washers are put into place and the faucets are beneficiaries of the inspection as well as the public at large, who de- sire that all possible steps be taken to prevent a water famine. In some houses visited by the inspector, leak age has been ordered stopped under penalty of a meter, that would actually amount to the waste of a quart of water in forty-nine hours. But a quart of water here and quart of water there, is even greater than the little drops of water that make the mighty ocean.

Rainy days and evenings Eve been trying to study up ways to save my life from the weeds and insects, next season. So far as can make out, the strategy of weed fighting may be sum- marized under three main heads:- preventing them from going to seed on the farm; preventing weed-seeds from being brought on to the farm; and, thirdly, starving out the roots of per ennial weeds by preventing their tops from making any growth.
 The first thing is possible. We can keep our own weeds from going to seed in our cultivated fields, if we are willing to spend enough time and labor at the task.
 But how we are going to prevent the birds and the winds from annually re-sowing our farms with weed seeds produced on our neighbors fields is another proposition.
 And how we are going to find time and opportunity to go over our pas lures and brush-lands and mow or chop off the seventy and seven varie- ties of wild perennials which infest them is still another proposition.
 For the life of me I can't figure any plan which makes either of these things feasible

 It certainly Is hard, year after year. to see some of our wtsest planning and patientest care go to feed lot of pesky bugs and repulsive worms.
 It is hard to have our fields resown, every season. with weed seeds raised by our slack neighbors and brought or blown to us by birds or winds
 But, perhaps, if there were no weeds and bugs to fight we might grow so rich and get so fat and lazy that we, ourselves, would not be worth raising.

NEW LONDON'S BANKSAND CHURCHES
Keeping Up With General Growth of Cy-Stoppng Waste of City Waser-J. B. Herreschofs Visit to This City Boys of the Old Days and the Present.


 It is not so many years ago that one of the local banks decided to erect a new banking house and the change for the better became courageous and the result was four new bank buildings, this following the epidemic of new schoolhouses. which means that New London has now as fine school and bank buildings as any small city in the state. Now the churches have hit the building trail. The Second Con- gregational church has nearly been doubled in size, The First Baptist church is being rebuilt and enlarged, The Montauk avenue Baptist church is being constructed to replace the edifice destroyed by fire, and the Third Baptist and Methodist church socie- ties are contemplating the enlargement and improvement of their churches. This is taken as indication that the growth of religion is in keeping with the general growth of the city.

That's the sort of May we had this past spring. But my hay isn't half crop. Nor have I yet seen or heard of any nelghbor who is getting better. It's pretty late to sow corn. even for fodder. But that's what some of my dairying friends have got to do, to insure something to feed their cows with, next winter.

NOTICElTO PAPERS

Extension Agent, L. A. Mar" ham, of the prescott & aNorth- western Railroad announces that plans now maturing between re- presentatives of the Arkansas Agricultural College. the United States Department of Agrlcult- ure, himself and others in this section for two summer farm schools to be lheld in the Pre- scott x Northwestern territory about the last of July or the first of August.
 These schools will probably be held at Prescott and Blevins. 1t has practically been declbed to give two days to the school at Prescott and it is hoped that 1t will be possible for the Universi- ty people to so arrange theIr plans that two days can be gwen to the school at Blevins.
 At these farm schools special dsts from,tn- Agricultural Col iege and the Department of Az riculture will discuss subjects of mediate and local important such as fruit and truck growing, use of fertilizers. terracing, fight ing insect pests, planting of pas- turs and clover crops and numer- ous others.
 The University has been hold ing a few of these schools each summer for the: pastl .threei or four yeaSs and they, have been .signally successful and have re- suited in large amount of ben eft to the communities in which they have eensheld.
 The dates,of these schools to- gether with a list of the speakers and their subjects and all other matters of interest to the public in connection herewith will be given out within the next week or two.
