A few same and sensibl
reasons why the voters of Crit.
tenden and Livingston COUNT
should see that DurOn Koon goes
to the next Kentucky Legisla
ture.
1t Is a foregone conclusion
that our home people will honor
onr soldier boys after the war
with county, state and national
Offices, but there is no reason
why they should wait until II.
war is hnished 20 Do this VIII n
Trey have the cDaIce, as the
now have, Of sending a man t
the Kentucky legislature a few
days Of each year, and allowing
hin t. flht his Country's battle,
1uri.g tie remainder of the
tine. The man who asks thi.
favor Of the peopIe of these two
counties made an honorable fight
for the nomination and won it.
he was drafted to. fight for tae
projection of the home folks and
went to war with a smile upon
his face asking no favors of the
County Exemption Board, surely
he could be expected TO make nc
greater sacgihces, than this. He
will render the same kind OF
services in making laws for his
people that he has in fighting
the battles of his country.
A man can only be judged by
his actions and not by bis pro.
mi, es. No man Of the 18th,
and S0th., Companies, will say
that koon Ioafs on his job OF
learning how to fight for the
protection of our country, his
superior officers will commend
him upon actions during the
short time that he has been here.
He volunteered to assist in teach.
ing the illitera:es of CamE
Zachary Taylor, For this work
he receives no pay and ask,
none. He gives an hour Of his
resting time four days of eacf
week to this kindly work. He
drills as long as any man OF the
company in the day time and re
ceives no favors from any one
surely his actions deserve tn,

kneeled in PRAYER. o. either
side were columns topped with
vases of immense yellow chrys-
anthemums. The windows were
darkened by banks of golden
autumn twigs taken from native
trees in the grounds surrounding
the brides home. 1t was not
an elaborate wedding, as the
bride preferred the simple form,
as her brother Robert who re-
Gently volunteered in the U. S.
navy could not attend, and that
was the cause for an element of
sadness which forstailed all de-
sire for display. TDere We're no

Miss Linda Jenkins was maid Of
honor and walked in front of tie

Tn 1883 he became secretary-general general Of the prefecture of the Seine. and in 1885 prefect of Hauto- Ga- rome. His next political post was as director of commercial affairs and prefect of police. In 1888 he was elected a member of the Chamber of Deputies, representing Marne, nd as- stunned a position in national affairs that led to his appointment as Un- Secretary of State. From that time on his rise to fame and power was rapid and in 1892 he was a fsiil fledged cabinet member, holding the portfolio of Minister of Public in- struction.. When Alexandre Ribot was named Premier of France M. Bourgeois was nominated Minister of Justice and when Ribot retired he succeeded M. Berthelet as Minister for Foreign Affairs. That was in March 1896. During the last twelve years before the war M. Bourgeois devoted himself largely to literature and political economy and has writ ten a number of books that are ac- cepted as authoritative by scholars all over the world. Since the outbreak of the war M Bourgeois has been at the forefront of the affairs of his country. It is through his pen that he has mostly helped her glorious cause.

WAR ARGUMENT
 ENDS IN FIRING OF PISTOL SHOTS
Alleged Gunman is Held in Bail of $2,5OO For
 Trial.


 One of his countrymen failing to agree with his war views after both had left wine party last night, Saliva tore Piallitti, of CAT Broad street, made intellectual verbal attempts to change the opinion of his friend. Fail- ing in this Piallitti when near st. Michaefss cemetery evidently thought the scene fitting place to make short work of his countrynnan, Thomas Pa reno, of 83 Water street.
 Accordingly he drew a pearl handled .S2 calibre revolver and fired four shots at Pareno, the police al1ege chasing him half mile when he found the first fire did not affect Pa reno. Piallitto was ove-hauled at Con- necticut and Stratford avenues and locked up. This morning Judge Bart lett held him in bonds of s2,5o0 for a hearing next Saturday.

THE FARMER: MAY 21, 1917

Rocky Hill Power Go. and the Housa-
 tonic Power Co.,, renewed activities at Zoar's bridge are in evidence. Last week eight surveyors from the Brick
 enbim Engineering Co. of Philadel-
 pIia began operations at the long
 talked of dam at Zoar bridge, and will
 this week prospect for new location
 for the dam. It was found that the
 bedrock underlying the first location
 was unstable for a foundation, hence
 the changes of plans. At Bennett's
 Bridge, two engineers looked over the
 ground of the other proposition of
 water power privilege held by the
 companies on the Housatonic. and ex-
 amined the extent and character of
 propertysto be purchased or to come
 under condemnation, in the event of
 building this upper dam at Pootatuck
 The party of surveyors are staying
 temporarily with MT. and Mrs. Peter
 Keefe at The Naples, the old farm,
 and school of Robert s. Hinman, the
 noted Connecticut educator, pending
 the arrival of camps and equipage. Miss Winifred Paetch of Bridgeport was a Sunday guest of Miss Mary Harrigan.
 Two important dealsNin real estate were negotiated last week, the deeds for which it Is expected will be filed this week. The farm formerly owned by James Coles of Hawleyville, and successfully operated for many years by his 'son-in-law, Matthew Mullane
 was sold to Harry Bristol of Danbl1ry The Sturdevant model farm on Huck- |. I.1eberry Hill section was sold to Pat rick J. Lynch of Danbury. The former owner, J. H. D. Sturdevant, built the Sturdevant building in Bridgeport, but
 always lived at his country home near the Brookfield line.
