FACTS AND RANCHES.

Congressman Kennedy is at a loss to understand the use of his name in connection with the United States dis trict attorneyship in Connecticut, but it may come from the same source as the talk that Congressman Mahan will recommend himself for postmas ter of New London.-NorWich Bull letin.
 Marshall r. Wilder's estate proves that if you laugh the world not only laughs With you, but pays you hber- ally for starting the laughter. He en- tertaincd the world so well that the world reciprocated by enabling him to leave $267. .oO0 to his son and daughter. He laughs best who laughs last, and when the late humorist was from time to time counting up his gains and making investments it must have occurred to him pleasantly that he was getting the best of the joke.- Norwich Record.
 It is perhaps we'll to call the atten- tion of parents at this time to the inn portance of keeping in close touch with the school authorities regarding the work done by their children in the public schools. The reports made number of times a year in all of the schools regarding the progress of the pupils deserve more attention than they usually receive. The par ents, who do not know what their children are doing in the schools. have only themselves to blame, if they find at the end of the year that the children have dropped back in their work have made but unsatis- factory progress.-Ansonia Sentinel.
 Light on the duties of county commissioner was thrown by Com missioner Charles II. Smith of New London county when, in explaining the report of the commission of which he is a member he discredit- ed the report that county commis- sioners have nothing to do and said that, notwithstanding he had no oth- CT business, the performance of business for the county took all of his time. Counties that have com missioners who give all of their time to tho counties they serve and who receive from such men a service as efficient as it is constant are fortu- nate. Business as confining and exacting as this Is not the kind that attracts to itself the average politi- cian.-Hartford Times.

The common council made some
 transfers this week and it looked at
 one time as if 1t would attempt to
 make further one of S40O so as to
 provide sufficient money for the com
 mittee to finish the cutting of ice at
 Shuttle Meadow. The board of
 finance and taxation had recommend
 cd that certain transfers be made, but
 the $4OO referred to was not among
 them The resolution in question was introduced by Alderman Parker and
 when the point was TaiSed as to where
 the money was to come rom no at
 tempt was made to definitely answer
 the question. It could not, however,
 be legally transferred unless 1t was
 so recommended by the board Of
 finance and taxation. It is believed
 bv the comptroller than this money
 will not be needed, because he is of
 the opinion that there is enough in
 the department now to meet all eN-
 lenses. This matter of transferring
 balances from one department to an
 other used to be a subject of some de-
 bate for the reason that there were
 some municipal financierS who held
 tne opinion that it operated in the
 line of. extravaganza and against jul
 1icious e:<penditures. It was felt that
 the system tended towards reckless
 management in public affairs on the
 ground that the department WL2fh
 saved money had it's balances apN
 priated at the end of the year Tor an
 other department which may not have
 been as careful in its work. mat
 Idea however, seems to have been long since dispelled and the trans
 fcrs are now made as matter or Inv and no one thinks that there are any weak spots in the system. u can be easily understood how a de-, rartmcnt for good and sufficient req : sons may run short and If 1t dOes' it is the most natural thing in the. world that the shortage should bel made up from whatever surplus ca rft be found in any other branch or lf0 citv service. In the early days ox the citv this matter of transfer vas
 made subject to a city meeting while. now it is d charter regulation. Whe1hI if was taken up at city meeting the question was generally debated ands the sentiment expressed was that taking money from one department and giving it to another resulted in' an inclination to extravagant cXpGndi-, lures at the close of the year by the dcpartment which had otherwise been economical because it felt that It would lose the money anyway and might as well eXpend it for some n,rpOse more or less useful in it's own branch of the city service. That kind of argument has not been heard for years and perhaps never will gain.

GREAT NORTHERN Is
HANDY SOL Tl0N OF
TlE-UP, SAYS PAL MER

John A. Palmer, deputy tax assessor
of Honolulu. and proprietor OF the
CORTLAND hotel. who is now visiting
in the states, has written to E. A..
Berndt, chairman of the Hawaii Pro.
motion Committee, warning the people
of Honolulu against opposition to the
Coastwise Law.
Mr.. Palmer has been studying the
steamship question from that side OF
the ocean and urges the people OF
these islands to study carefully before
making up any decision to ask for sus-
pension, through the fear that such
suspension would drive the Matson
company from the passenger business.
Mr.. Palmer thinks that the solution
of tie quest of congested passenger
traffic lies with the Great Northern
steamship Company. which he hopes
may be induced. to put one or more
liners on fbeI run to Honolulu. The
steamship companies are in no mood
to be trifled with. according to Mr..
Palmer, for the Seamen's Act has hit
them hard, and they consider that the
government has interfered with their
business.

Judge Henshaw and Judge Humph-

field conservation officer, are expected
to arrive here on the early train tomOr-
row morning for the purpose of con-
ducting a gas conservation hearing.
Inasmuch as Judge Humphrey desires
to make a trip to the oil fields 1t
is expected that the hearing will be
begun as early as o'clock at the
county court house. The hearing Is
not expected to attract very much In
terest as there is no gas being wasted
in the field now, but every gas con-
sumer in the city is intensely inter
ested in the hearing. Gas cOnserva-
tion is worth more to the people than
to the oil men and they are the ones
who should take an active interest in
the proceedings
The best method of conserving gas
will be discussed and men who have
devoted their lives to oil field work
will give testimony as to the best
method The state has a law to back
up the officials in carrying out its or
ders on gas conservation and the
commission wants to know the best
method of caring for the production,
and when that is determined, orders
will be issued to producers requiring
them to conserve the gas.

Oklahoma City, June 27-Damage
to uncut wheat and destruction of
property in northern Oklahoma, and
serious flood conditions in the north
eastern part of the state resulted from
severe rain, wind and electrical
storm Sunday morning, which moved
across the northern half of the state
from west to east The storm was very
similar in nature to that of Thursday
morning.
Wheat unharvested was reported
battered into the ground in several vi
entities. The use of the old-fashioned
cradle to save the crop is probable.
The wind reached maximum We
locity of fifty-fye miles an hour at

buildings, uprooting trees and doing
other damage of a minor nature.

ma streams are out of their banks and
