What the Other Fellows Say

Isn't 1t rubbing 1t in pretty hard to recall that the directors of sports at Yale gets $1O,OOO per year and Pro- lessor Taft only receives $5,000.- Bridgeport Post.
 Great Britain brewers have invented beer that is just like the ordinary beverage of that name, excepting that it has no "kick." " A man may drink twenty pints of it at one sitting and remain sober. Now we may expect to hear that some contemplating tobacconist has devised a smokeless cigar that is "just as good. .''-Hartford Post.
 It seems pretty tough, when pa. triot is anxious to offer himself in loyal service to his country, that he can't get either an office or the chance to go as delegate to a presidential convention. -Meriden Journal.
 The commercial agencies say that buying is cautious, but there are no signs of it in the automobile or spring hat business.-NewH Haven Union.
 These dreadful accidents on the "New Haven" road recall the declara- tion that there should be no last car on any train. But seriously, it may well be that the last car on every train be a steel car.-Hartford Courant.
 The nimble historian will have work to do after the war recording the deaths of the crown prince of Germany and his many accidents and narrow escapes. New Haven Journal Courier.
 Our Methodist friends remove the ban from dancing, one of the most healthful of all human exercises and one of the most democratic of all social joys. The theatre and cards likewise are no longer tabu. These different things in the world were given to us to enjoy, not to abuse. Those who go to excess are the ones who cause all the rouble.-Pittsfeld Eagle.
 "Isn't it wonderful to be living to. day ?' the lecturer asks. It is. We thank God we are living and yet we cannot conceive of a normal human critter since Adams day, who didn't feel just the same way about this time. Waterbury Republican.
 Chairman J. Henry Roraback, who was unanimously reelected to head the republican state central committee, is one of the ablest, most resourceful and efficient leaders the republicans of Con nectisut have had.

PULL TOGETHER.

The following from an exchange will bear careful reading and needing in other towns, as we'll as in some towns:
 @'No town in this state, or in any other place for that matter, can expect to thrive and prosper without the con- ceutrated effort of it's citizens and the iudicious expenditure of money. The towns in our state today that are pros. porous are the ones that have donated literally to enterprises which employ labor. Thus 1t is and always will be that the liberal and broad gauged towns will thrive while the tight listed ones are struggling for the necessities of life. It is within the power of every town to increase her population. With which class do you desire to be rated Do you wish it to go out to the world that you lack the energy necessary to protect your own interest? If not get to work and do something that will in- crease your own wealth and make your neighbor more contented. Just be- cause you think the town is good eaougb for you to live in is no sign you should neglect to do your part in help. fng the town to grow
 Tn this connection, the following :@Ten Commandments" given out by the Commercial Club of Pueblo, Col orado. are especially timely here, where the Cleau-Up Days are about begin ming:
 |. Thou shalt locate, report and abolish all public nuisances.
 3. Thou shalt not spit on sidewalks CT in any public place or conveyance.
 3. Thou shalt remember that filth breeds flies and flies make funerals.
 f. Thou shalt not sweep thy side walks in the business section after half past seven in the morning.
 5. Thou shalt not throw tin cans nor rubbish i'll any back yard, vacant lot or alley.
 6. Thou shalt provide a covered receptacle for all manner of house and stable refuse.
 2. Thou shalt gather and burn all sorts of combustible rubbish.
 8. Thou shalt not haul rubbish in Ieaszy or overloaded wagons.
 9. Thou shalt make continual war fare on weeds and untrimmed trees.
 10. Thou shalt whitewash or paint thy buildings, and shall keep thy promises constantly clean.

Clay Balls For the Fire,

Save your ooalr" is the kheading of a circular issue recently by the British Parliamentary War Savings committee.
 Here are some of its hints to house. holders:"
 Use gas coke wherever possible in. stead of coal.
 Coal and coke mixed in equal ppo. portions. give fuel which will last longer than coal alone. Though, the. fire will not blaze to the same extent, it will give n steady red.h fire.
 Briquettes, which are composed of coal dust and pitch or some other bind. ing ingredient, make an admirable fuel and can be obtained through any coal merchant. The egg.shaped form of briquette is the best for the purpose.
 Do not poke q fire composed of bri. quettes. It spols the fire to do SO, as it interfeTes with the free passage of the air.
 If the fireplace happens to, be large one and only a small, slow. burning fire is required, fill in part of tho space with coal balls formed by mixing coal with clsy-these can easily be made at home.
 When day and placed in the firn they will, when the coal is we'll under way, form A glowing mass, which will con. sunme very slowly.

lt's a Problem,

Did you ever sit and wonder, Sit and wonder what in thunder Is the use of all the hurry, All the skurry and the worry, All the rustic and the hustle . That we folks go through? |? Every day of life we're slaving, Skimping, sacrificing, saving, Planning, figuring and scheming, And of fame anG fortune dreaming, Just as though we thought we'd never Quit this earth, but live forever,
 Just as now we do. On the square, now, ain't it funny? Coveting each others money, Pushing, crowding, fighting, striving, Beating down and bargain driving, Always looking out for trouble, Getting it and sometimes double
 What it ought to be. Really, what are we folks doing With our fretting and our stewing? Life is one strange institution That's away beyond solution. Just one thing after another. Can you tell the answer, brother?
 It's too deep for me.

FED WAKING UP.

Two appletree pruning demonstra- sions, by an expert, at East Canaan and Canaan village, last week, at- tracted hardly more attention than the funeral of small -pox pauper. Yet the demonstrations were of much value to very person who has fruit tree on his promises. And an inspection of most of the orchards and isolated fruit trees in this neighborhood will convince the intelligent observer that a little &C., carate knowledge of the art of pruning and tree culture would be of incalcula- hle benefit to the owners.
 The indifference of the farmers and others, to the value of the opportunity freely given them, is difficult to under stand. It is inconceivable that they are to be classed with the farmer who, OH being asked if he was doing any pruning on his trees, replied: 'No, l don't care anything about prunes, any howl"
 Next Monday the same expert, MT. Manchester, county agent ot the Litch- field County Farm Bureau, will give demonstrations of tree spraying, with obstructive information concerning the process, the materials and the effect. The privilege of witnessing this work is worth money to tree owners. It will show how to produce perfect fruit in place of the scrubby, scabby, dwarfed kind that is the rule rather than the exception.
 1t remains to be seen how much in- beres6 the demonstration will awaken among those who need it most.

An Enpineering Problem.

A son of Erin was digging post holes and the boss came along to size up the job. "How are you making out. Pat ?'' asked the boss, critically examining the hole.
 "Foine as silk,' answered Pat, keeping right on with his work, "as yez will notice yersilf "
 "The work looks all right, Pat, " joking responded the boss; but do you think you will ever be able to get all that dirt back in the hole again ?''
 "No, sor," came the reply of Pat, mot as it is now sor; but it's me in- tintion to dig the hole a little daper.- Pittsburg Chronicle Telegram.

A Sensible Deer Law.

To the Editor of The News:
 The laws regulating the killing of deer i'll Vermont seem to be the best of any Eastern State. As Vermont is a near neighbor, with conditions quite similar to ours. it may be we'll to study the results ot Ter deer laws.
 In Vermont only bucks with 4-inch antlers are allowed to be killed. Each hunter is allowed only one deer and the hunting season is only l days.

 think this shows plainly that law for bidding the killing of does would keep the deer supply up.
 In 1913, 1,8O3 bucks were killed with a gross weight of 324, 153 pounds. At the conservative price of 12 cents lb. for venison on the hoof this would total $38. .898,36 which was added to the food supply of Vermont in that year.
 The resident license for hunting deer is $1 and the nonresident S10. We will say for the sake of argument that every license taken out means deer that would be 1,8O2 licenses. Suppose that 100 of these licenses were non- resident.

 The farmers could be paid for wha t damage the deer do his crops.
 The farmer and sportsman would have the pleasure of shooting once a year-and the vast majority of the population of Connecticut who enjoys seeing the doe would know that there would be no danger of extermination. We have many acres of waste land in Connecticut. Why not have deer on those acres, that would add to our food supply? Sincerely,

SHAKESPEARE
BY WILLIAM WATSON

o let me leave the plains behind,
 And let me leave the wales below Into the highlands of the mind,
 Into the mountains let me go. My Keats, my Spenser loved I we'll;
 Gardens and statued lawns were these; Yet not for ever could dwell
 In arbors and in pleasances. Here are the heights, crest beyond crest, With Himalayan dews impearled And will watch from Everest
 The long heave of the surging world.

It's rather a rough jolt on the late MT. Shakespeare, at this season of cele- bration over the 3O0th anniversary of his birth, to have it judicially decided by Chicago court that Shakespeare works were written by Francis Bacon. The authorship has been in controversy for great many years, but it remained for Judge Tuthill to settle the question for good. He finds that Shakespeare was an ignoramus, without education or culture. Frankly, we have privately been of the same opinion since first seeing Shakespeare's autograph, in which he spells it "Shakspere. We have little veneration for a man who doesn't know how to spell his own name.
