Deep silence fell as he began to read.
 MT. Perkins before reading the report recited how the committees had met several hours last night and each drawn a report for their respective conventions.
 When Mr. Perkins told how Col. Roosevelt's name had been presented there was short, loud applause. Tells and cheers followed the statement that the republicans presented no can didate.
 There was little applause when reading of the progressives report was concluded. Rapt attention was given reading of the republican committees report.
 We know you love us all,' MT. Perkins interjected as the names of the progressive committeeman were read.
 Borah At Moose Convention.
 Without any preliminary announce ment Senator Borah entered the Audi torium Hall at 12:40sp. m., where the progressives were assembled in con- vention. He was escorted to the platform. A tremendous ovation was given him.
 Chairman Robins introduced Sen ator Borah and the convention rOared itself hoarse when the senator said he had not come officially, 'I will say to you frankly" were his first words, "I come over here to get an inspiration" At once a wave swept over the hall, started no one knew how, suggesting that stronger events than harmony, with Borah as the man to unite the parties, might happen. This thought grew as the senator in his speech introduced the magic name "Roose- velt' as the progressives great leader. We want Teddy!" resounded through the hall and galleries with more vim than at any time since the convention assembled. It was not "canned' enthusiasm, or if it was, the can had burst from in- ternal compression. Senartor Borah waited quietly and finally Chairman Robins urged quiet , 'It is well knOwn-the deep-seated affection I have for your leader"-he said and was halted by another salvo of enthusiasm, the whole convention, in a mighty chant, shouting, we
 want Teddy" for a full minute while Borah smilingly waited The shout ing lulled and there was a renewal, leaders on the stage joining.
 There's no doubt you want Teddy" said Senator Borah.
 We want Borah, too," answered the delegates, and the senator pro- ceeded and sailing into the stride of

 Following the concert last evening the male delegates, singers and visi- tors adjourned to Turner hall, where d smoker was enjoyed. There were about 500 in attendance and despite the depressing weather they all had {. gala time. Songs, dances and speeches were on the program which likewise included refreshments The entertainment committed in charge of Hiding Nelson, saw to it that the visitors wanted for nothing that should make their evening an enjoy able one.

Party Success At Stake.

After giving the names of the con- ferees on both sides, the report of the republican-pr harmony committee to be presented to both conventions today will recite that they had a full and frank conference last night which resulted in an agreement that there should be united action on the part of the two parties if pos- sible of attainment; that the policies and future of the country for the next few years would depend upon their getting together and uniting to rescue the country from the present demo- cratic dOmina ton.
 The report to the republican con- vention will then rec1te the fact that the progressiVes presented the name of Col. Roosevelt as the proper man for selection as the presidential can- didate, expressing the opinion that on account of his personal following and hold upon the people, as well as be- cause of his mastery of tho question of the day, he was the best fitted of all men mentioned by either party to bear the standard of the combined organizations
 While no mention is made of the fact that another conference had been virtually agreed upon by the conferees, it is perfectly understood that it is their plan to get together again after two or three ballots have been cast by the republican conven- tion. The representatives of the re- publican convention did not make any counter suggestion as to a candidate, but on the contrary some of them stated that they would be entirely

is prophesied for her in the musical world.
 Joel Mossberg, baritone, gave an exhibition of singing that pleased the most fastidious. His deep, rich tones class him as one of the foremost singers in America today and to hear him is a treat in itself. MT Moss bergs prologue from Pagliacci'' was worthy of special mention and the ar tistic way in which he rendered his several Swedish songs brought him we'll earned applause. All of the soloists are finished artists and their work this evening should prove just as charming as did that of last night.
 The Philharmonic orchestra of thirty pieces, under the leadership of Robert Prutting of Hartford, added much to the high standard of the con- cert and in directing the grand chorus Ernest F'rancke proved himself to be musical leader of rare ability. Henry Bonander of Hartford, organist, ac- companied the vocalists on the organ and his assistance much enhanced their work.

send a message to the harmony con- ferees or to the progressive conven- ton that would have a bearing on the situation.
 The men advocating the nomination by the republican convention of Jus- tlce Charles E.. Hughes of the su- preme court declared this morning that nothing had occurred to weaken their position, stated that they be- lieVed their candidate could be nom- mated today, and prepared to press for action on a nomination without delay.
 Managers for the various flavor ite son" candidate insisted the har- mony conference program had greatly improved the chances for their man, and predicted early today that neither the name of Hughes nor of Roose-. welt would appear upon the republi- can ticket.
 Many expressed the opinion that the two conventions would go ahead regardless of each other, make their nominations and adjourn.
 In this connection one of the members of last nights conference de- clared: "The conference has, not changed the situation in respect to the probable nomination of Justice Hughes by the republican convention. A sit uation has been created by which the progressives in all probability will be willing to postpone the desire of the radical members to rush into a nom- inatiOn of Col. Roosevelt for the sole purpose of being the first to put a ticket in the field.

 Various visiting singing societies rendered selections and all are de- l serving of great credit. A slumber song by the New Haven singing so- ciety shared applause with the New York society which rendered Annie Laurie" effectively. New Britain S own singing societies, however, proved themselves the equal of the best that the east can produce. The Eolus Singing society, directed by A. B.

should be set along a main mole run
way that has been long in use. A mar
row excavation, deep enough to receive
the jar and allow it's top to be some
what below the bottom of the tunnel,
should be made. The sod may then be
replaced over the excavation so as to
bridge without obstructing the en-
trance to the jar. The animal in COM
ing along the tunnel falls into the jar
and cannot climb out. Success depends
much on the skill used in placing the
trap.
Repeated leveling of mole ridges on
a lawn by means of a roller not only
tends to discourage the animals from
making further incursions, but pre-
vents the soil from drying out and thus
injuring grass roots.

Get Rich Slowly.

The American Bankers association,

quick" schemes do not work. They
work just often enough to prove the

lost quickly.
The plan proposed by the bankers is
based on this proposition: That If a
man earning $40 week saves $5 a
week he can double his income by the
end of 20 years; and, of course, he
will be increasing it all the time

PIG TROUGH is A NECESSITY
For Large Animals V-Shaped Device
Will Be Found Durable and Con-
venient-HoW 1t Is Made.

The pig trough is a very necessary
equipment. For large hogs a very
durable and economical trough is a
V-shaped one which can be made of
pieces 2 by 10 and 2 by 8, but for the
younger pigs smaller pieces should be
used. Care should be taken in max
ing them. If they are too high the
pigs cannot feed conveniently. If too
low, the pigs will get into the trough
in order to get the feed.
The trough set in a fence, parallel
to it, is very satisfactory arrange
ment. A swinging panel can be hung
above the trough. A latch slipping
crosswise at the center of the panel
makes it possible to swing it in and
fasten it, thereby shutting out the pigs
until all the feed is put into the
trough.
The pig trough should be kept clean.
A thorough scrubbing occasionally will
be an advantage to the animals health.
If the trough is set on a cement feed
ing floor there will be less dirt and
filth.

The common garden mole, which,
because of it's insectivOrOus habits, is
in most situations much more benefi-

age to plants and tubers is generally
the work of pine mice or meadow mice,
usually the former. The burrowing
habits of pine mice closely resemble
those of the MOLE and they frequently
use mole tunnels to reach growing
plants. Pine mice may easily be
killed with poisoned grain, but as
moles will seldom take poisoned bats
of any kind, the main dependence for
destroying them is traps, and consid-
cradle experience and judgment are
required to use them effectively.
The ordinary traps intended for rats

CAL0NEL TODAY,
SICK Tomorrow
Dose of nasty calomel makes you
sick and you lose Il,
days work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get SO cent bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a
harmless vegetable substitute for dan
gerous calomel. Take a spoonful and
if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up, better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
ing you sick, you just go back and
get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and
ready for work or play. It's harmless,
pleasant and safe to give to children;
they like it.-(Advt.)

Good company manners depend up

In the Woman's Home Companion. AS
for table manners, the active child
who from his earliest years has been
accustomed to regular meals Of simple
food with sufficient variety for his
health and pleasure will be hungry
enough at mealtime to eat anything
that is put before him. If from the
beginning he has been encouraged by
example, then good table manners will
be as natural as breathing. They will
be part Of him, and he will make use
of them wherever he is.
The place for a parent to begin
training the manners of her child is
with her own manners. Whenever a
mother complains to me of the bad
manners of her child she is uncon.
sciously lodging complaint against
herself as a mother. OF course GER
