STONTNGTON
Republicans Spring Surprise by Nom mating Candidates For Warden Death of Mrs. John Sullivan.

There is perhaps some man, some where, who does not know that for eign countries are at war, but it is in the borough, Thursday who did not know that the old Stonington line of sound boats had long since been dis continued, and that the old steam boat wharf was no more a center of actively and arrived on an afternoon train to put this query:
 What time does the boat leave for New York tonight?' When informed that the nearest place ne could take passage by boat to New York was at New London, he replied that he just came from that city, as he always preferred a StOningtOn line to a Nor wien line steamboat, and he expressed regret that the service had been dis continued.

Norwich bulletin., 1916-07-14

The storm of Thursday in Westerly was an unusual as it was unexpected. The bright sunshine suddenly turned to darkness at Il o'clock and five min utes later there was heavy rainfall un- til 11.25. With no rain aCcOmpani- ment, there was a terrific thunder clap and awful flash of lightning at 11.|40, and for twenty minutes thereafter there were thunder rumbles and light ming flashes at intervals, but no rain Five minutes before noon there came a light drizZling rain, and a few min utes later the sky frightened and the sun shOne forth with even more heat ed rays than before the coming of the storm
 While the storm was raging in Wes- terly the members of Calvary Baptist church who were picniCEing in Vince Ier's grove, not far from Stoningtons borough, did not know that a rain storm was on, but did notice the blackened sky in the direction of Wes- terly. The, crew of the trolley car from GrOton that arrived in Westerly at 1915, did not see even a drop of rain during the trip, and were sur prised to see the streets of Westerly wet and the water rushing down the gutters Nor did the storm reach Pleasant View or Watch Hill and therefore did not interfere with the First Baptist Sunday school picnic at Atlantic beach.
 At 3 o'clock in the afternoon there came another storm to Westerly, and for an hour there was a heavy rain fall, accompanied by thunder and lightning, that almost paled the morn ing storm into insignifiCance Daylight was turned into night and artificial light was brought into general use, but was extinguished at intervals, which gave even added terror to the terrific storm.

Representatives of the board of public roads held session in the Vest erIy town hall, Thursday for the con venience of owners of automobiles at Watch Hill Westerly and other near by places, to register their automO- piles and take out license for opera tiOn in Rhode Island. Automobiles that are in the state ten calendar days in a year are required to take out state registration and license. Written tests are required in connec- tiOn with the application for opera tors license, and therefore the cOrri- dor and council chamber had a school room appearance. All automobiles here for the summer will hereafter carry the registry plates of Rhode Island, and in consequence there will be a general lessening of the variety of reg istry plates of other states in the streets of Westerly.
 The applicants for operators 1i- cense receire blanks that are tJ be filled in with pen and ink by the ap- pIicant and immediately upon comple- tion filed with the board. There was one exception at Thursdays session, when a verbal examination was given an applicant. He could not read or write, but he was thoroughly cOnver- sant with the rules of the road and explained the handling of a car like an expert.

With William F. Broughton, repub- lican, opposing Cornelius B. Gran dall democrat, for warden, there will be more than ordinary interest in the borough election.

The Forest Grazing Fees Advanced.

The advance made by the Forest service for grazing fees of live
stock is Of much interest at this time and is being pretty well threshed
out by the stock people.
After sizing the matter up it would seem that the fee is hardly
CONSTANT. This Is of course in many ways snap judgement, We
have always been a strong supporter of the Forest reserves, and while
We nave not always agreed with them, W e give them due credit for
using the best endeaVor to develop the forest service to the best in
terests to all, but We also believe that the Services weakest point is
its grazing regulations.
In thlsV valley the grazing season for the majority of the stock is
from May and June into September, hardly being a six months .ruz
taking cattle Ms a basis II this valley for our argument, we hardly
think that tn rase is justified. The average cattleman who uses the
forest, could better afford summer pasture, at a 81 90 per head or even
or han they a the increased grazing fees. Cattle grazed in good
pasture will weigh from 80 to 100 pounds heavier when ready fm.
market than on the open range, where they shift about and travel
over considerable territory, in getting the feed they do aud tberebv
come u a little short OF what they would make in pasture. In com.
closed pasture, you have a difference in weight to make a difference
oil SoOo to probably 5000 per head, then too the cattle in encIosrr.
are available to ship at the time when the shipper wants n rnt be
cattle o n the market, without waiting until the cattle come down f.,
DE- gathered to be put on, when possibly the market is NOT r;,bt ar
other conditions crowd the market, which also makes a large drF.r
rel 1t umesa s to what cattle brings. This also does not take into
consideration the loss of about 4 per cent of cattle on the M snoe
VINE III enclosed pasture there is no loss except the natural death
rate and the difference in itself would probably pay for the sncIosad
pasture rent, provide the pasture available, and ON which the rates
are oaSeu' Unless 1t IS necessary that this increase be made IN bsn
ue te cattle or pay expenses on the reserve, there seems little naed
OF the increase.

MADE HIT WITH MANSFIELD
Actor Quick to See Good Piece of
business" in Error of one of
His Supporters.

Now that Arnold DAILY is reviving
"Beau Brummell," various anec-
dotes of the late Richard Mansfield,
who created the title role, are being
revived. W. j. Ferguson, who acted
the valet in the original production
and who is now one of the pirates in
'"Treasure Island" has remembered
one
In the character of the valet it was
Ferguson's place to hand the Beau
his gloves, his stick, and finally his
hat. Upon the opening night he prof
fered the hat to Mansfield, turned
the wrong way around. Had the
Beau put on the hat in the way it
was handed to him and strolled down
Picadilly or Bond street, the faux
pas might have created a scandal.
When Ferguson discovered his error
he turned pale under his makeup.
Mansfield was quick to grasp the
situation, and with one of his most
courtly bows gave the hat back to the
valet, so that he might turn it
around, which Ferguson did with
pantomimic apology.
As Mansfield put on the hat and
passed out of the door he whispered
to Ferguson: ''That's a good piece of
business keep it in"

LISTENING OVER TELEPHONE.

Listening in on the telephone is
not a new thing, nor is it peculiar to
New York. A newspaper corre-
spondent in Dover, England, was
summoned under the defense of the
realm act the other day for attempt
ing to elicit information and for
communicating information concern
ing the movement and disposition of
troops which might be of use to Eng
lands enemies. The defendant, it
was alleged, gave important informa-
ton to a press agency over the tele-
phone. In accordance with instruc-
tons, the telephone supervisor lis
tened to the conversation and took it
down in writing. For the defense,
however, it was contended that the
information was commonplace. The
magistrates upheld this view and dis
missed the summons.

MAKE GOOD USE OF PALACES
Royal Residences in Europe Have
Been Converted Into Hospitals for
Wounded Soldiers.

The necessities of war have trans
formed tie uses of the royal palaces
of Europe. They are nearly all
turned into hospitals. Such are the
Winter palace on the Neva, the
Kremlin at Moscow, Tsarskoe Selo
and Livadia, and in Italy not only
the Quirinal and Queen Margheri-
ta's palace in the Via Veneta, but
the queen is directing a military
hospital in a wing of the Vatican.
Not only have Verona and Mona
been put at the disposal of the war
Office, but the pope has done the same
with Castel Gandolfo.
The Elysee palace is given over to
war work, and Buckingham palace is
not a hospital simply because there
is no need for it, so the king and
queen use it largely to receive SOL
diers and to entertain the wounded.
The palaces at Berlin and else
where in Germany r all turned
into military hospitals, and the Ger
mans have devoted King Albert's
palace at Brussels to the same use.
The English turned the kaiser's
stately pleasure palace, the Achillei-
on, on the Ionian island of Corfu,
in Greece, to the same purpose for
the benefit of the Serbian army.
The wife of Ferdinand has made
part of his palace at Sofa into a
military hospital, but the Austrian
invaders of Montenegro used the pal
ace at Cetinje as barracks.

The $40 Homestead ~

The question arises al to what is a $40 acre homestead. Ii
would seem that a measure at this time to be used for taking up the
balance of the rough lands of the western states, should be the most
reasonable of any land measures yet passed, but to the contrary, the
new bill as agreed upon by the conference committee for passage. is
practically the rulnation of what good there was in the law. As some
newspaper reporter would put it "mutilated beyond recognition" and
If 1t goes in its present form it will be a hinderance and a disgrace TO
the West. Non-mlneraL non-irrgable, and non-agriculturaI means
that 1t will be Impossible as well as killing the measure for any beue
tit the homeseader could derive from it.

NINE 'RAHs FOR CLEMENT ROWE.

While we are exercising great care
and judgment in the selection of an all
Iowa football team let US cast a side
long glance toward Glenwood, Iowa,
and Clement Rowe. who lives adjacent
to that town. Clement was in an i'm
pcrtant Ames contest tho a wrangle
ever an oblong ball filed with wind did
rot enter into the competition and no
body paid $50 for a seat. Still,
Clement made touchdown and kicked
goal and carried home the bacon. Per-
haps it would be more in strict COM
formity 70 fact to relate that Clement
carried home the pOrterhouse and sir
13-year- kid won the baby beef
feeding contest in which there were
100 ode entries.
Last November Clement picked out u
Shorthorn calf weighing 349 pounds
ment. looking forward a year TO the
time when it should become beef. For
349 days he played his game. He put
$50 pounds on that calf. 1t gained
about two and one-half pounds day
and weighed 1885 on the day the con-
test ended. But that wasn't all Of it.
He made a fine profit on every pound.
II wasn't all feeding. 1t was shrewd.
scientific feeding. He manufactured
beef at profit. His factory was eff! J.
cient.
Now that was some game, some
game when you come TO consider it,
He played four three months quarters,
TWO six-months halves, a whole year
without time out or a substitute. And he
won the game against the other eleven
Chundred). OF course he won trip
to Washington or 800 trophy as ne
chooses but that's the least he won.
Get together now; nine 'rahs for

Five youths in Michigan city went
to their death yesterday when the Ice
upon which they were skating gave
way under their weight. The tragedy
calls to mind the necessity of the exer-
else of caution on the part Of parents
and children in Muscatine. The skat-
ing season is at hand. The cold wealth
er of last week coated the neighboring
ponds with sufficiently heavy layer of
ice to attract the adventurous youth,
The mild weather which followed has
weakened the ice and drowning threat
ems the boy who would try it.
Until the weather becomes sufficient
ly cold to insure a solid ice formation
parents should warn their children off
the ponds. Their skates should be kept
from them until it is safe for them to
indulge in the sport. Teachers might
we'll forbid the children from skating
at some nearby pond on their way

mothers heart from the heavy sorrow
which threatens thru the thoughtless-
ness and daring of Young America.

The grocery bill is monthly con-
tribution to the high cost Of living
which makes father perspire in a
heartfelt and enthusiastic manner
Groceries are bought by people for
the purpose Of prolonging life and
keeping the stomach from becoming
restless and dissatisfied. If it were not
for, the countless thousands Of grocery
stores which dot the landscape and
carry everything from lamp wicks to
leaf lard, the public health would be as
far below par as the Mexican dime.
The ease and rapidity with which peo-
pie can order groceries over the tele-
phone and move out Of town the fol-
lowing week is one of the greatest
blessings which we enjoy.
A few years ago the grocery bill did
not bother anybody who intended to
pay it. Groceries oe al, kinds were
plentiful, and a round silver dollar
would buy enough to subdue a large
family for week. Then the European
war broke out in several spots and
created bottomless demand for ev-
erything that Is sold in grocery store
except aluminium ware coupons. AS a
result, every husband and father Is
confronted on the first Of the month
with bristling, two-fisted grocery bill
which has the swollen appearance Of a
fat man with the dropsy.

erage grocery bill, just at the time
when soft coal Is climbing faster than
