A GRUESOME FIND
Workmen Dig Up Box Containing
 Bones and Other Things.

Saturday morning as a gang of laborers were digging soil from the Hardenbergh hill, next to the Granger domain, to be used for grading the lawn at N. Watson Hardenbergh s, one of them, John Sergalli. struck his pick into the rotten wood of an old chest, which on being opened was found to contain bones. rusty kettles and an old hat. Sergalli jumped back and swore he would dig there no more as he had invaded the resting place of the dead.
 Joe Pinkerwaugh, a fellow laborer, was so over awed by the discovery that he refused to go near the spot, and the more Sergalli told him the details of the find, the more determined he was to throw up his Job. He was told that the box contained coins of the vintage of 1905 and other trophies that would seem to prove that the box held the re. mains of an Indian who was buried with all his cooking utensils and other earthly belongings. The man was so affected by the revelations that it was finally deemed necessary to divulge the miserable truth that it was all a "plant" arranged by the workmen for the purpose of frightening their com- rade.

THE SUFFRAGE CONFERENCE
Dr. Anna Shaw Feature of Notable
 Event at Mrs. TayIor's,


 The fifth conference of the Litchtield County Federated Equal Suffrage Leagues, was held Tuesday, August 29, in Norfolk, at the home of Mrs. A E. Scranton Taylor. chairman of the Litchfeld County League, and commit tees, of which there are 22 organiza- tions. Four delegates from Cornwall attended.
 Mrs. Taylor gave the greeting at the morning session and the reports of the presidents of the leagues were heard, followed by talk by Mrs. Porritt. press secretary of the 0. w. s. A., upon the best methods in her particular branch of work. After which the hostess invited the whole convention to be her guests at luncheon, where, upon small tables about the grounds was served the most delicious viands and confections, and SO plentifully given that even the heart of man would have been satisfied.
 The greeting at the afternoon session was given by the guest of honor for the occasion, the Rev. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, the great pioneer who has given her work and splendid ability to the cause of freedom for women, and "blazed the trail" for their future emancipation. Her work is best ex- pressed in the Book of Life" as written by herself, upon the fore.page of which she has adapted the following lines:
 "They cut path through tangled un-
 derwood
 Of old traditions, out to broader ways They lived to hear their words called
 brave and good,
 But oh the thorns before the crown
 of baysl
 The world gives lashes to its Pioneers
 Until the goal is reached-then
 deafening cheers"
 Mrs. Thomas N. Hepburn, president of the $. W. S.. Association of Con- necticut, gave a forceful argument of "Why women should work for suf- fraRe," and Dr. Valeria Parker gave an interesting talk for the women's re- formatory bill, and reasons why it should be passed.
 the writer, Miss Thomson, was effeo- tive, and was one of the pleasing features of the convention.
 The day was perfect, with cool breezes from the Berkshire Hills and the sun was shining down upon 200 earnest women. And fewer men were there to help womankind to become citizens of the United States.
 The guests were welcomed by Mir and Mrs. Taylor in their beautiful home, quite like "baronial hall, on the heights of one of Norfolk's rocky hillsides, and where nature has been aided to carry out it's own perfections with surprises of vistas of flower bordered lawns and rare shubberies leading off into a tangle of wild-howers where the birds seemed to sing in happy unison, "Votes for Women." '" From the plateaus beautiful view of the valley below was an inspiration to the thinking women there upon one of Norfolk's free hills with all it's wealth and beauty. 1t is hoped that each one made firmer resolve to work unoeas- ingly that all women may become free citizens and joint inheritors and build- CTS of free government by and for the peoples of America, making the national hymn one of Liberty, Truth and Prayer.

No informed man will pretend that
Woodrow Wilson and the democratic
party has lived up to the national
platform on which the party was cleo
ted.' Nor can platform reputation
be excused on the ground that the
European war has changed condi-
tions. ~ The war has nothing to do
with the one term plank. Free tolls
thruthe Panama canal for American
ships is another broken pledge that
cannot be justified by the war. = The
assault on the civil. service is the
worst democratic mess ever imposed
on this nation, and strikes at the
foundations Of all government re-
forms. Another is the spork barrel"
outsages, for the democrats have
raided the national, treasury to an
extsnt that makes all former admins
trations look like niggardly par
simony. The high cost of living was.
the last democratic platform claimed,
due to republican administration, and
the democrats were to reduce the cost
of living. The cost of living has
continued to go skyward. The DEM
ocrats have made dismal failure on
the tariff and have had to admit it..
They howl now for "a tariff COM
mission" and know their tariff law
must be speedily repealed. They
know this country must have pro-
tective tariff. They know they have

Two Local Papers Detrimental.

Orofino cannot expect the most
from local papers unless it can sup
port its newspapers. Two local pa
pers cannot live, and the community
suffers the penalty of divided pat
ronage. Necessarily one paper must
be nom partisan, a fact the Republic
can has repeatedly admitted.
The question for Orofino to settle is
which of the local papers is capable
of doing the best boosting. for that
in new town and new county is
the all-important business of a local
paper. You can hire a S. week
girl to write locals; you can employ
job printers by the hundreds, but
good boosters are high priced men and
not plentiful. A partisan paper in
little village like Orofno, with
scarcely business for one creditable
local paper, is not for the best inter
est of a community, and should not be
encouraged. A county seat will not
eliminate politics, but there is nc
need of the community sacrificing its
commercial needs and circumscribing
its best interests for politics. II
Orofino can get behind one local paper
then such paper should cease to b.
partisan, its columns open alike to al
parties, az is the custom with thu
better Independent newspapers today
The entire time and energy Of ,
local paper should be devoted to com
/ munity development, and on this bias
is any wise town will unite and en-
j able one, paper toprendsr .creditabl'

Fall Planting Of Treos.

The chief advantages of fall plant
ing are that better selection Of trees
can be secured in the nursery than If
made in the spring; the stock can be
kept out of the ground shorter time
(most nursery stock is dug In the fall
and stored in cellars over winter;
there Is no danger of drying of the
stock, due to storage in nursery eel
lars; the planting can be done at
time when work is not as pressing as
in the spring, and the trees can get a
and thus be In splendid condition to
commence growth perhaps several
weeks before spring transplanted trees
could become established
The principal caution with respect to
fall set trees is to insist that the nur-
sery stock be allowed to ripen fully.
This 1t cannot do, as the practice Of
stripping" or removal Of the leaves
before maturity is done. 1t is also
highly desirable TO protect all newly
set trees against rabbits and mice.

TO REDUCE SMUT DAMAGE.

Seed Grain With FormaIdehyde.
Smut disease caused much injury to
Wisconsin wheat and rye this year.
Fall planting time is at hand, and this
Is when we can reduce the chances of
loss next year from smut damage.
Smut can be largely controlled by
treating the seed grain with Tornado

to use formaldehyde is suggested by
A. G. johnson of the University of
Wisconsin:
After cleaning and grading carefully
