1T Is now nearly century since
the Monroe Doctrine, so called. was

wise to challenge 1t, than today.
The initial purpose of the Mon
roe Doctrine was to secure to the Am

work out their national destinies free
from the fetters Of European feuds
and factions
II the Monroe Doctrine has kept
the nations Of Europe from being en-
brolled In American politics, 1t has

Norwich bulletin., 1916-05-24

County Agent Warner has received five carloads of lime to be used on the. farms this season but this amount is but a drop in the bucket as fifteen carloads could easily have been used. The five car loads received were or dered for delivery about March 1 but the first car did not arrive until near ly April 1. this being due to the freight service which has been great ly handicapped the past few months.
 To date County Agent Warner has located IT corn variety tests about the county. These tests are carried on by cooperating farmers and are for the purpose of discovering a variety of seed that will give the most yield per acre on New London County farm. Each farmer who co-operates in the tests Is provided three pints of corn, two pints of the flint variety and one pint of the dent variety. He sows these in two rows against rows of his own variety or any other variety and watches results. It is thought that it will be to the farmers interests to mature their own seed. Last winter a number of farmers in the county purchased seed from New York deal CTS and Q, test of the seed shows that it is far below the average.

FARM HELP PROBLEM SERIOUS
Big Wages Paid by Manufacturing Plants Causing Help to Leave the Country and Work in the Cities-crops Are Three Weeks Behind Time.

That serious shortage of farm help is facing the farmers of New London county today was the state ment made on Tuesday evening by County Agent F. c. Warner of the New London County Improvement league. The shortage of help has assumed such proportions that in sew eral instances farmers are sowing crops that they can handle with one man and a horse and instead of seed- ing field c0rn they are seeding ensilage as they will not have men enough to do the husking. The farmers are not only facing a shortage of help, but are also confronted with the fact that the crops are already two or three weeks behind owinf to the un- usually cold and cloudy weather.
 The big wages paid by manufactur- ing concerns, at the present time, es- pecially the munitions plants. and the eight hour day are said to be respon- sible for the drain on the farm help Tn the past two or three months q large number of the younger men who l in previous years have been employed on the farms have gone to work at Eddystone, Penn, Bridgeport. Spring field and to other cities where the
 munitions plants are located.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
 MAY PURCHASE BUILDING.
Birthplace of Father Mceivney, Foun- der of the Order, May Be Acquired.

B. H. Bristol of P1atts Mills, who owns the building in which Rev. M. J. McGivneys founder of the order of the Knights of Columbus, was born, stated Monday that no negotiations had been made with him relative to the pur- chase of the structure, says the Water bury American. The house now stands near Platts Mills, and is a rather small structure, but has been added to slight ly since it was moved to it's present location by tine late sSilas Terrell a number of years ago.
 The New Jersey state convention of the Knights of Columbus passed a resolution last week recommending to the national body the purchase of the house in which Father McGivney was born, even though the building stands in a different location than it did at the time of the birth of the founder. The house, with one or two others, formerly stood in Hopeville, but was later torn down and rebuilt by MT Terrell on his property in Platts Mills The house formerly stood on the spot now occupied by the west pier of the bridge which crosses the tracks on the Naugatuck railroad, on the street lead ing from South Main street to South Leonard street.
 Ttle Knights of Columbus was or ganized by Father MoGivney in 1882 and has since become a leading or ganization among Roman Catholics o1 the country.

Large Increase ia Postal Savings De- posits-Denny Murphy Receives In- jury-PinochIe Club Meets-Person- aIs and Notes.

Postmaster D. c. Murphy reports a large increase in the deposits of the Postal savings branch of the office and has received the following Dulle- tin from Washington:
 Larger postal savings deposits will now be accepted at the post office. This is made possible by an impor- tant amendment to the postal savings act just approved by President Will son. A postal savings depositcr may now have an account amounting to $1,0O0 upon which interest will be mum amount he could have to his credit. This enlargement of postal savings facilities will be very grati- lying to thousands of depositors who
 have already reached the old $500 limit and are anxious to entrust more of their savings to Uncle Sam. An other feature of the amendment that will avoid further embarrassment to the public and to postal offfcialsris the doinf away with the limit on the amount that could be accepted from
 depositor monthly. Under the old law only $100 could be deposited in a
 calendar month. The amendment postal savings system has already proved a signal success as is shown
 by the fact that more than half a l million depoSitors have over eighty million dollars standing to their credit
 still 1t has fallen short of meeting the
