ishment for cooperative sale and purchase under the management of the director. The training farm of each colony, in addition to giving op- portunities for training, will also pro- vide facilities for hiring out to the in dependent settlers horses, machines and implements. Each colony is to have cooperative credit society which will be the principal means of capitalizing the individual holdings and which is to be financed at the outset by the state to the extent of $1.25 for each acre.
 It is estimated that the settlers will be to afford the payment of rents suf- ficient to cover the capital outlay and the cost of management. except the salaries of the resident staff and the cost of preliminary training. But since the land remains in the owner ship of the state, it is proposed that sinking fund shall be charged.
 More Food and More Farmers
 The committee, which consists of some of the abIest men in the move ment for the British agricultural re- vivaI as well as representatives of the farming interests and of army and navy, finds one of the chief motives for it's recommendations in the need shown by the war for strengthening the defensive power of the country by producing more food at home. But, apart from the economic reasons for increasing the rural population there is, we think, a general consensus of opinion that it is also most desirable to do this on social grounds' This means that men must not only be emhloyed the land, but that | they must be given every inducem ent l to stay there and to bring up their children in the country. This is only | possible with improvement in the existing conditions of rural life gen era1ly.
 The social life of these communities is to be fostered by the means advo- cated in America by the country life movement, namely, the establishment | of institutes and clubs, outdoor recrea- ton and, of course, schools and churches Each colony is to have at least one club room and village hall; but efforts will be made to avoid anything in the nature of exclusive ness and to bring the colony into the | closest touch with the general social life of the neighborhood.
 | A beginning is to be made at once with the establishment of three pion= ger colonies, each providing for about l 300 families.
 It is a conservative estimate, to | judge from the enormous demand for small holdings under just such con- | ditions as are offered under this scheme prior to the war, which makes the committee anticipate that the | applicants for settlement will be numbered by thousands rather than by hundreds" If industry should be slack at the time of mobilization, it is possible that tens of thousands of families will gladly seek the peace and comparative freedom of a rural home ;and if they are denied it in the mother country many of them will mi | grate to the colonies.

 Carhart, Gerrity and Woods had been fishing off Charles Island and their boat was well loaded after a, whole day of luck. They were preparI ing to start for home when one sight ed a. 1are fin sticking out of the water. Two of the party who declare they know a man-eating shark when they see one, swear that the fish was of that species. They rowed hastily for the shore, followed by the shark. When they reached the beach they were ex- hausted. It was a monster fish, they assert.

WAS BRECHLIN MURDERED?

The question that is now agitating the minds of the local authorities is whether or not William Brechlin, the aged German of Madison avenue road who was found dead two days. ago, committed suicide or was murdered. From an investigation made this morn ing by Detectives Arnold and Cronan, under Instructions from Superinten- dent Birnaing gham there seems to be at least reasonable doubt to whether BrechIin died by his own hand. Nouxs Kutzky of the New town turnpike ,gave the superintendent a piece of paper to-day saying that it was Brech1tn's will and that the lat ter gave it to him a few days ago, stating that he was afraid he was to be murdered by his own people and he wanted his property to go to his broth e Adolph Brechlin of 2S3 East Main street This was the day before his death.
