 Drunk Wouldn't Go Home for Officer.
 Delegates from about twenty subor- dinate granges, representing Hartford, New. Haven and Middlesex counties, gathered here today to attend a meet ing of Central Pomona grange held in the hall of the local organization on Pierce street. It was a regular session of the order and grangers from many places in this locality were in attendance. The delegates were here as the guests of local grangers and during the day they were entertained in hospitable fashion.
 The morning session was given up tc the exemplifying of the fifth de- gree. The work was admirably done by the degree team and the mem- berS received many com pllmentS on the showing made

 the visiting delegates praised them freely for the thoroughness shown in making the arrangements.
 In the afternoon subjects dealing chiefly with farm life were discussed. Some interesting topics were consid- cred. Are the Farmers Benefited by the Grange? If So, How?' was one of the questions on which several of the delegates spoke. The Possibili- ties of Country Life" also came up for consideration, number of the members giving their views on the subject. One of the features of the afternoon session was a talk by H. F. Reyes of the Connecticut Agricultural college at Storrs. Mir. Reyes select ed Extension Work" for his topic. His talk was most instructive and was closely followed by the audience. May Arrest Chicken Thief. Constable Nelson Sucie of Vest wood Park, who has spent some time investigating the disappearance of chickens from the henneries of Alfred Anderson, which are located near the Connecticut Trap Rock quarries on the New Britain road, called on Grand Juror M. A. Norton this morning to ask for warrant for the arrest of an Italian living near White Oak, who he suspects is the thief
 Officer Nelson claims that he has sufficient evidence against the man to convict him and it is probable that he will make an arrest before to- morrow.
 His case seemingly depends on the matter of identification, a gray sweater figuring largely in that feature. Mr.

The first chief asked to be notified as to the number Of Americans expecting to leave, and the time they wish the train to be ready.
 This action grew out of the effort of the United States government to secure the naturalization of the road between Mexico City and Vera Cruz. Although unwilling to make any per nsnent arrangement, General Car ranza now has expressed a desire to aid foreigners who are anxious to reach the sea coast.
 Planning to Leave.
 Many Americans and foreigners in Tampico similarly are planning to leave as soon as transportation ar rangements can be made. Secretary Bryan sought the aid of the war de- partment today and the transport Sumner at Galveston was ordered to Tampico to bring back the 300 or more foreigners.

Something Wrong

There is something wrong with the
newspaper report of the latest Ken

Kentuckians have been arrested for
shooting two men. They are too eco

had made it two Kentuckians arrested
