Tho Telephones Trouble Man."

Every telephone company has trouble department" where all com- plaints of bad service and defective equipment go. The men who make the repairs and adjustments are known as trouble men," and they have to be not only expert workmen, but chaps of intelligence and common sense, for they meet clany problems that are not set down in the books. Thoughtless people can do many things to put a telephone out of commission, and some of them are simpie-wet umbrella lean- ed up against the wiring in. such way that it grounds the current and, of course, makes the phone useless. In this particular case the umbrella remained where it ought not to have been while the owner of the RAone fret ted and fumed because be could not get central and then went to neigh bor's and called up the telephone com pany. When the trouble man. ar- rived he saw at once what the matter was and picked up the umbrella. "Now call central" he suggested, and the irate patron got an immediate re- sponse.-Leslie's.

TRACTORS HURT SMALL
 TOWN "HOSS DOCTORS''

The small town ''hoss doctor" in Kansas is viewing the tractor with some alarm. The tractor is replacing his patients on the farm. The shelf of handy horse remedies is disap- bearing from its corner in the barn i; in it's place are lot of tools and oil cans.
 Imported stallions have greatly inn proved the grade of horses in the last few years, fact that increased the business of the veterinarians. With every farmer compelled to keep from six to a dozen horses, business was good, and the veterinarians answered calls in motor roadsters.
 But the tractors have enabled the farmer to dispose of all but one or two horses, condition the "vets'' view with alarm. A number of high school boys here who had intended to study veterinary science say they hope >now to become "tcactor axnarts,"

BOY WHO DEFIED. VILLA NOW HAS
 HOME IN NORTH
Plucky Paul MOreau, Aged IF,
 Wins Way Into Hearts of GuardSmen.

Boston, Nov. "A soldier of for tune, 12 years old, marched with Company H of Salem in the parade of the Eighth yesterday morning. His name is Paul Moreau, and since the death of his father in Mexico City two years ago, his life has been an ad- venturous one. For seven months, he says. he was the interpreter for Gen. Trevino of the Carranza forces, and once, he adds, when captured by the Vtllistas was threatened with death by the bandit chieftain.
 Now Paul calls Alfred A. Turcotte of 12 Prince street, Salem, Daddy" and Is going to be a member Of the Turcotte family in future. Turcotte is a member of Company H. He ran across the boy in Fl Paso.! Being Of French descent, he became interested in the orphaned lad and after rece1V- ing the consent of the Ell Paso au- thorities, made arrangements to take the boy home with him.
 It was after a battle near Tu1tan, Paul says, that he fell into the hands of the Villistas. He was taken before the chief, who asked him to become his interpreter.
 "Never will I be interpreter for a bandit" the boy replied, whereupon he says, Villa knocked him down.
 TT get on my feet, reach for my gun, but they seize my arms from behind,", is the way Paul tells the story. "Ah, if they had not done so there would be no Villa in Mexico to- day"
 Zapata was with Villa at the time, he says, and Villa ordered him to act as interpreter for .Zapata or be hang ed the next morning. He was shut up in little house, from which he es- caped in the night by setting fire to his mattress and burning the side of the house so that he could make a hole big enough for him to crawl through.

START INQUIRIES FOR CONSPIRACY
 IN COAL PRICES
U. S. Begins Nation Wide Probe-New York City
 Opens Investigation.

New York, Nov. .7.-Following the recent abnormal advances in coal prices, an investigation is under way by Department of Justice agents at the direction of United States Attor- ney-General Gregory. This became known to-day when MT. Gregory an- nounced that if the price Is the result of a conspiracy among dealers the de- partment will proceed against the of f.nders, insisting upon the most sev- ere penalties.
 This action by the department is said to have resulted from a humor that recently a meeting of coal oper- :,tors was held in Wall street. when the advance was decided upon.
 Department agents are also investi- gating other causes for the situation, snch as the shortage of cars. scarcity of labor and the increasing price in other states which would affect the local price and come within the prov- ince of the interstate commerce laws. Should the department agents find nothing inviola,tion of the federal statutes, the information gleaned by them will be turned over to the vari- ous state officials.
 At the same time District Attorney Swann, of New York county, and Dis trict Attorney Lewis, of Kings, are conducting independent investiga- tions, under the belief that the Don- nelly antitrust law has been violated through the reported conspiracy of operators. A number of coal dealers have been asked to appear before As- sistant District Attorney Markewich, who is in direct charge of the investi- gation.>
 l, In Kings county new grand jury will be impaneled tomorrow, when it is believed that body will take some action on the unprecedented increase.
 Dealers are emphatic. in denying there has been any general agreement about the price, but the figures quoted have been so generally uniform that it has aroused suspicion to the effect that there is an understanding among them regarding the sales price.
 The allegation most. frequently made is that the independent coal operators have advanced their prices, making the middlemen and retailers boost their figures to as high as SIS a ton.
 The big coal companies, it is said, are supplying their regular customers with as much product as possible.
 Coal dealers are endeavoring to dis suade their customers from making large purchases at this time, with the expectation the anthracite condition will soon improve. Many dealers are supplying patrons in one-ton quanti- ties.
 Prices of anthracite this week will depend upon the weather conditions D said Frederick w. Saward, general manager of the Coal Trade Journal" 'If cold spell strikes here this week dealers will have difficulty in supply ing customers requirements''
 The price of bituminous has even out-ranked that of anthracite, coal selling at $8 ton that four months ago brought SIPS a ton.

Bird Gathers.

An ornithologist, swimming in the blue sea, said: Birds enjoy baths as much as we do. Take, for instance, wild ducks. Wild ducks adore fresh water bath. Though they feed over salt water, they will bathe only in fresh. They'll fly thirty or forty miles inland for their weekly fresh water dip.
 "Sparrows go in for wet bath and dry one-a wet bath of clean water and dry one of clean dust.
 1.-The partridge takes loam bath. He loosens up square foot of rich, chocolate colored loam and bathes his plumes in 1t for half an hour at a stretch.
 'All lirds love a bath of ashes. Wherever, in the prairies, you see an ash heap, the sign of a forest fire, a flock of birds will rise up from it ii you go too near-birds that have been polishing their feathers in the silvery ashes as a servant polishes knives. "- Philadelphia Bulletin.

WOMEN SUFFERERS
 NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder di- sease.
 If the kidneys are not in healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer a great deal with pain in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness and may be Respondent and irritable.
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians prescription, obtained at any drug store, restores health to the kidneys and is just the remedy neededto over- come such conditions.
 Get a fifty cent or one dollar bottle immediately from any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer &, Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention The Bridgeport Daily Farmer.

 THE BATTLE. OF BALLOTS

Wilson or Hughes?
 To decide this issue several millions of Americans will cast their ballots during the course of the day. >In- cidentally the electors they vote for will also determine the identity of the next vice-president, although prob ably many sovereign voters are rather hay in their minds as to the names of the candidates for that thankless job.
 Uncle Sam's election machinery is now much more complicated, but also much more reliable and trustw orthy, than it was in the early days of the republic. For about a quarter of century after the founding of the re- public, the voters in most state were not given any say-so even in choosing electors. The various state 1egisla- lures graciously relieved the popuface of that job, and the Solons appointed the electors. The nearest the rank and file came to voting for President was to cast ballots for members of the legislature.
 If to-days election was of the old style, it is reasonably certain that MT. Wilson and MT. Hughes would both be elected, one to the presidency and the other to the vice-presidency. In the good old days, and up to 1904, each elector voted for two candidates fo the presidency. The one who re- ceived the largest number naturally got the White House job, and the run ner-up became vice-president.
 In the first election for President of the United States, George Washing ton led with 69 votes. John Adams was a bad second with 34 votes to his credit. Others who received from one to nine votes were John Jay, R. H. Harrison, John Rutledge, John Han- cock. George Clinton, Samuel Hunt tngton, John Milton, James Arm strong, Benjamin Lincoln and Ed ward Telfair. The last three named got one vote each, and, without 'mak- ing a positive assertion, it is probable that they were the prohibition, so- cialist labor candidates. Washington and Adams were both federalists, but in 1796 the election resulted in the choice of Adams, federa1ist, for presi- dent. and Jefferson, republican, as vice-president, which was a sort of Wilson-Hughes combination

THE DUKE OF BRABANT

Crown Prince Leopold, eldest son and heir of King Albert of Belgium, has just passed his fifteenth milestone in his troubled life's journey The Duke of Brabant is now attending school in England, but on several oc- casions he has worn the uniform of a soldier of the Belgian army, and has lived at the front with his father, the unfortunate king without a coun- try. The young Crown Prince, whose official title is Duke of Brabant, has a 13-year- brother, Prince Charles, and sister, Princess Marie Jose, aged 10, both of whom are attending school in England. The Crown Prince is the hero of his school fel-' lows, not so much because he is of royal blood as that he has seen real service as a warrior. Early last year he was permitted to enlist in the 18th infantry, and marched in the ranks with a rifle on his shoulder when the regiment was reviewed by his father and mother. After that he took his place in the trenches where he serv- ed for four months. While he was not permitted to take part in the de- fence of the first line trenches, he was on several occasions under fire, and it is said stood up to it like a man. AL though he is only Is, his matrimonial future is already being discussed, and in Holland he is often mentioned as a suitable consort for little Princess Juliana in case Belgium is not re- stored. The latter contingency is con- sidered rather remote, however, and it is much more likely that Prince Leopold's younger brother, Prince Charles, may become the consort of the future Queen of the Netherlands The Princess Juliana is now in her eighth year, so any talk of marriage for her is a bit premature. The Dutch are very much in earnest in hoping that she will wed a Belgian prince, as they have been greatly drawn to their neighbors by the misfortunes of the latter, and are moreover decided ly opposed to a German alliance for their Princess

Start of tha Omnibus.

The invention of omnibuses is due to the philosopher Pascal, who, in February, 1667, obtained a privilege or patent for public carriages to travel through certain streets of Paris
 They held eight passengers, who paid six sous each. and were very success. full, although an act of parliament of Paris forbade them being used by lack eys, soldiers and other humble folk. Pascal died in 1867, and his useful in vention did not long survive him. The omnibus reappeared in London about the beginning of the last century ana was adopted in several French proviii-- cial towns before Paris accepted 1t again.

POLICE DISCOVER BOMB PLANT IN
 N. TENEMENT
Explosion Reveals Equip ment for Manufacture
 Of Explosives.

New York, Nov. 7.-The owner or owners of a complete bomb manu- featuring equipment found in the five story tenement building at 33S East 106th street are wanted by the police. The equipment, which Inspector Eagan of the Bureau of Combustibles said was sufficient for @ bomb fac tory" was discovered by the police after an explosion in the building late yesterday.
 Twenty Italian families hurried pell-mell to the street when the blast went off in room of a first floor apartment. Many of the windows in the building were shattered and smoke issued from those on the first floor. An alarm was turned in and the f1remen extinguished the small blaze that followed the explosion.
 An investigation of the room was made by Inspector Eagan. He dis covered eighteen fuses from eighteen inches to yard long, five boxes of large calibre cartridges, one box of 3S-calibre cartridges, four kinds of powder, including black, smokeless and blasting, metal filings and scraps and joints of gas pipe or elbows plug ged at both ends.
 
 pecially engaged Inspector Eagan's at tention. He said they were almost identical with a section found in a bomb box in the apartment of Judge Otto A. Rosalsky in the Hendrick Hudson several years ago. EXamina- ton of the pipe section at that time cost the Inspector two of his fingers
 The apartment in which yesterdays explosion occurred was rented by an Italian barber, Martin Paternoster, until last Thursday. He left the place then for another further down the street at 329. The police went there but the barber was not at home and nothing of his whereabouts could be learned. Four shotguns, however, were found in his new lodging place which the police confiscated and took to the East 1o4th street station.
 The police have not been able to discover how the explosion occurred. There was a report which they would not comment on that it had been set off by several young boys in the build ing. The story was that the boys had been playing in. Paternoster's old rooms and discovering the powder and fuses in a long box in the front room had placed them in the middle room and lighted them.
 There was 70 furniture in Pater- noster's old apartment except bat tered mirror. Detectives Mancini, Somers and Canfetti were assigned to the case. They denied there was any connection between the explosion and the two cases of dynamiting surface cars and the Lenox avenue subway station explosion which have occurred as incidents to the car strike.

Pieturesque Cresan Garb.

An interesting description of the Cretan's picturesque dress is given by a writer in Blackwood's:
 "The Cretan's national dress merits a word of description. He wears on his head either q twisted kerchief or a sort of pirates cap, with a tassel hang ing over one ear. His upper limbs are clad in loose black shirt and his low CT in pair of black cotton brooches of bagginess which is we'll nigh in conceivable even to one who is used to the shalwar of the Levant These brooches finish tight immediately be- low the knee and leave an inch or more of sunburnt leg showing above the top of high yellow boot of un- tanned leather. The men stride along with the highlander's easy gait, and as they go the slack of their preposterous brooches swings out behind them with all the jaunty air of kilt"

Hundreds Attracted by
 Mechanical Man"

Seeing what one at first believes to be 8. "modeP' or mechanical man" come suddenly to life was the thrill experienced by hundreds of men and women who passed the P. and O. clothes shop window on Main street yesterday. When the mystery is ex- plained it appears that the "moder' is William Crockett of New York city, who is demonstrating the quality and fit of the clothes manufactured by the F. and o. stores which are scattered through New York state and the New England states.
 A feature of the dislay that made decided impression with the onlook- CTS was the fact that, rather than have the clothes made to his special measure, MT. Crockett, when about to change a garment, would step from the window and at random pick from the stores stock a coat or suit of his size.
