WHY FARMER SHOULD
HAVE A SEPARATOR
Little or No Loss of Skim Milk
Less Danger Of introducing
Disease Into Herd.

by 8. +. LEE, Wisconsin Experiment
StatOn)
There is a number OF very good
reasons why a farmer should own and
operate cream separator.
1. There is little or no loss OF skim
milk, which, of course, has high feed
ing value.
2. There is less danger of introduc-
ing such contagious disease as tuber-
culosis into the herd if the milk is
SKINNED at home and only the milk
produced upon the farm is fed.
3. Time Is saved by not hauling
whole milk to the factory.
4. Less products have to be cared for
upon the farm.
5. There is a wider market for cream
than for milh.

WILL I'M N TIC,

4 T Z. f 5f go over the question of motorizing the fire department and make a report at an adjourned meeting to be held at 8 future date. This committee is to con- sist of the fire committee of the com mon council, the fire chief, three as sistant engineers. E. F. Bugbee, G. F. Taylor and c. J. Alpaugh. After much discussion the motion was carried and it was decided to hold the adjourned meeting December 27th at o'clock, in the afternoon.
 Report on Fire Alarm Boxes.
 The next business to come before the meeting was the discussion of the fire question in regard to the alarm boxes Chief Thomas Foley had a communication from the Gamewell company. shat installed the boxes in this city. #The company had sent two men to Willimantic to investigate the cause of the trouble experienced the night of the Jordan fire and this com munication made report of their finding and recommendations in the matter. In regard to their finding on the investigation the men reported the following:
 Experts Finding.
 In going to the engine house and making thorough inquiry from those connected with the department and yourself we found that box 43 was pulled on or about 2.10 Thursday morning. The signal came in to all the tappers and indicators correctly. This naturally put the trouble up to the striker mechanism itself. After a thorough inspection of the striker we found no trouble with this piece of apparatus but during our testing on the switchboard we found that the only conditions that would cause the striker to not send the alarm was on account of the low battery. in other words, you know your ampherage should be at least 100 and when it was cut down to at least .070 the striker would not restore when the circuit was open.
 We also found some foul contacts , on the switchboard which had a ten dency to half open the circuit.= there fore, we are safe in saying to you that failure of the striker to work was due entirely to low battery and poor con- neetions on the switchboard.
 These troubles have been adjusted and we are at this time going to make further report and suggestions as ap- pea1s to us and recommend that your city take proper action to correct the faulty construction that now exists on the fine alarm system.
 Wires Faulty.
 The recommendations were in re- gard to the wires and the way they were put on the poles, it being the weather would affect the alarm sys- tenn if the wires were allowed to re- main as they are now fastened to the poles. The investigators thought that the upkeep of the system had, been neglected and in order to make things better in this respect they recom- mended that one person should be ap- pointed to have charge of the upkeep of the system and be responsible for 1t. To have a perfect system it should be under one head.
 Further recommendations were re- wiring where necessary, testing bat

 Netherlands, Among Them.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The first resig nations from the diplomatic corps which are expected to be the forerun ners of others as a consequence of President Wilson's reelection and the closing of his first term, were an nounced today.
 Dr. Hery Van Dyke, minister to The Netherlands, has resigned and prob ably will be succeeded by John w. Garrett of Baltimore, formerly min ister to Argentina. Dr. Van Dyke. it was explained, has been concerned over his health for some time and also desired to return to his literary work after being abroad nearly four years.
 The resignation of Thaddeus A Thomson, minister to Colombia, and William Hornibrook, minister to Siam, also were announced. MT. Thomson was appointed to his post, his first in the diplomatic service, in 1913. Mr. Hornibrook was appointed in 1915.

SUPPOSED TO HAVE DUPED
 NUMBER OF YOUNG WOMEN Charles H. Wax, Man Who Used Name of James w. Osborne in Escapades.

New York, Dec. 4.--When Charles H. Wax is brought here he will be sub jected to the scrutiny of a number of young women whom he is supposed to have duped, United States District
 Attorney Marshall said today. If these
 tests as to his identity are satisfactory he will next be scrutinized as to his resemblance to James w. Osborne in an effort to ascertain, said the district attorney, if Rae Tanzer could have made "an honest mistake" in identify ing the lawyer as Dear Oliver If things turn out as we expect, J continued the district attornye, the prehension of Wax will mean the inn | mediate prosecution of all the crim- inal charges arising out of the Tanzer breach of promise suit. One of the important bits of evidence we now have tends to show that while Miss Tanzer was writing letters to James W. Osborne at the New York Athletic Club, she was running around with Oliver"
 The TanZer woman is now waiting re-trial for alleged perjury and is also under indictment for using the mails to defraud. Two lawyers and a de- tective employed by her are charged with obstructing justice and the young woman's two sisters also have been in- dicted for perjury.

 Summary of Finding.
 The communication closed as fol- iows
 As a summary on the conditions ex- fsting in Willimantfc, would say that it is wonder to me that you got alarms at all particularly in the damp weather, and if you hadn't had the best of appafatis I am afraid you would have lost many alarms before this. Now the thing to do is to put the lines and boxes in good condition and be sure that the battery is kept up to it's standard and have someone responsible for it.

DOCTORS VISIT GILMAN
New Haven Atienist and Local rhysi- elan Confer With Youthful Murderer
 at Brooklyn Jail.

Dr. Diefendorf of New Haven and Dr. Weldon of this city accompanied Albert Gilman to the county Jail Sat urday where they had talk with MT. Gilman's son Leon, who shot his grandfather and cousin recently. BotE doctors have been retained by counsel for the defense of the boy but they would not talk about their visit to the jaii. or what was said while there. It is thought, from what was said by the doctors, that they are under the impression that the young. man is not sane as he appeared to be very indif- ferent for one who had committed a double murder.
 Boys Put on Probation.
 Six boys appeared before the police court Monday morning on the charge of larceny. They had been taking ar ticles out of the ruins of the Jordan building and were apprehended for pointed guardian ad litem over the boys and he entered a plea of guilty for them As the boys were very young, the oldest being IS, the court decided to continue their cases for three months during which time they are to report to the probation officer.

The off, cials of the Unified Charities who had become interested in the case stated that they were unable to locate the sister of the man in New York, where he had intended to go with his daugh- ter. As the accused has decided to remain in this city and to pay what he owes the United Charities, as well as pay for the support of his child, the court continued the case for three months.
