Kerensky's First Lesson.
cleveland Leader.)


In the early days of the revolution
in Russia the young man who is now
the head of the government told for
eigners as we'll as his own people
that if he could not govern without
violence he would not govern at all
He was then thoroughgoing believer
in the doctrine. beloved of socialists
and anarchists such as abound insPe-
trograd that there was no need Of
authority in the physical sense where
the right appeals were made to the
better nature of men and women.
Now the same Kerensky has had
the provisional government, which Is
entirely under his control. restor,
capital punishment. which was en-
Enthusiastically abolished at the begin
ming of the new era of democracy.
So far the use of the death penalty
is to be restricted to the army and
the navy, and the government ex-
plains it's apostasy, as it's socialistic
doctrinaires must call it's action, as
the result of absolute necessity, and
only a temporary measure, to end
when the nations life is no longer at
stake.
The surprising fact is not that the
death penalty is to be used in trying
to save the army and the country be-
hind it, but that men of even ordinary
intelligence should ever have i'm
agined that anything less would be
effective when the cause of disobed-
fence and running away from the
grim duty of soldiers in war was
often the fear of death at the hands
of the enemy. 1t was absurd to sup
pose that a penalty less dangerous
than the peril which drove men to
the violation of army laws would be
sufficient to obtain the results sought

Foresters get the reputation of fur
nishing an exhibition of inferior
quality.
Examine Eligibles Saturday.
! Members of the exemption board
for this district today expressed the
opinion that the three hundred young
men from Plainville Berlin and
Southington, who are to first appear
for physical examination in connec-
ton with the filling of the draft quota
of four hundred. will not have to pre-
sent themselves before the doctors
until next Saturday.
Notices ordering them to appear
for examination will be sent out not
later than Tuesday and it is now con-
sidered likely that the physicians will
be asked to give up Saturday for the
work of ascertaining what registrants
are physically fit.
It is not expected that there will be
any difficulty in getting men to serve
as clerks for the doctors. The fac
tories operate but a half day on Sat-
urdays and many men it is thought
will be willing to volunteer their serv-
ices for the afternoon at least. S. S.
Gwillim has been authorized to re-
cruit the clerks and men over thirty
one or under thirty-one who are
willing to serve in that capacity
should notify him. At least twenty
clerical assistants will be needed.
Tennis Tournament Progresses.
The annual tennis tournament of
the Plainville Lawn club is progress
ing towards it's conclusion in satisfac-
tory manner. There is considerable
enthusiasm among the members and
rivalry among them is Keen The
first series of games will be finished
next week and before the end of the
month it is expected the final match
will be played.
The winner of the tournament will
secure possession for one year of the
cup offered by j. H. Trum bull, his
nearest oppnent getting F. T. Wheel
er's runner-up trophy.
Brief Items.
Mrs. W. A. Goodell returned today

Parting Advice.

Can you think of better advice to

A FINE RECORD.

Tribute to Employee Who Has Rel
manned at One Post Forty eight Years.
In "a special dispatch from New
Britain last Thursday the. story OF
the fidelity of an employe Of the,
Russell Erwin Manufacturing com1
pany of that city Is told.' The END
ploye, John M. Ryan, has entered on
the forty-ninth year of his connect
ton with that corporation. For forty
eight years he has not been late q
single day at his work and. except
when sick or absent on vacation with
the permission of his employers, he
has not absented himself in all that
time from work. Mr.. Bryan is AMI
expert lockmaker. On one occasion,
by his skill and mechanical ability.
he frustrated the purpose OF another
employe who, when leaving the con-
Germs employ, tried to enbarrass thel
company and injure its business, The
record of this faithful employees rec
ord of honest. devoted service is -
record Of which any workman should
be proud. y4s
There was. something contemptibfy
mean in the attempt to embarrass the
company by. a man who had been on
it's pay roll and who had enjoyed tho
dement's OIL us prosperity ne SIlCWc0
a heartless indifference to his fellow
employees. If his purpose had sue
ceeded the company would have stood
the loss of business which its success
might have involved. The sufferers
would have been the other working
men in the factory. who might have
been thrown out of work. But he
did not care for that. That is not
the only instance in the state where
workmen have been exposed to the
danger of loss of work by the selfish
conduct of fellow workmen.
The instance of the faithful en-
ploye, who for nearly half century
has made the success of the business
of his employers his personal con-
Germ, is worthy of note, and the man
is to be highly commended. 1t Is OF
special interest to an Industrial COM
munity like New Britain, whose man
moth manufacturing enterprises have
been developed by ombination OF
the business abilities of those in
charge of the management and the
skill and fidelity Of the employees.

The raft draws twentyfour feet OF
water and stands twelve feet over
the surface. 1t is held together by
sixty-four chains of one and one-halE
inch tested steel links, which are
wrapped around its circumference
while longitudinally it contains an
immense chain of links measuring
two and one-fourth miles. The lat

Was Fixing Motorcycle When
Sparks I8nited Clothing,
ENWRAPPED IN FLAMES
Lice Destroy Farmers Potato Plants
h -Save the Laurel-T. A. B. Drum
Corps Festival-At the Churches
j Many at the Shore.

AS a result of his clothes catching
on fire Thursday while he was trying
to start his motorcycle, George Malina
lies at his home suffering from pain
full burns about the arms and legs.
Iswill be ten days or two weeks be-
fore he will be able to be up and
around again.
Coming home from work Thursday
evening he decided to take trip on
his motorcycle but could not get the
engine started. After some time
fussing around the machine his steady
efforts prevailed and the motor started
hpmming In some manner or other
Malina's trousers had become satur-
ated with gasoline and when the en-
CINE warmed up a spark from some
unknown source found it's way to the
saturated cloth. Maline was sud-
denly developed in flames.
Losing his presence of mind and in
stead of getting blanket, rug some
other article to wrap around his legs
he began to fight the fire with his
lkeads. It was a long chance but he
finally won and succeeded in putting
out the flames. His efforts cost him
severe burns on the arms, legs and
hands.
He was taken to the home of DR..
dressed and bandaged. The right leg
and the right arm were the worst al
though the other arm and leg was not
immune from the effects of the blaze.
Lice Raise Havoc.
Potato bugs are bad enough but
lice are ten times worse. This seems
to be the opinion of fair share Of
the farmers of the community al
though few report that their crops
have not been touched or injured in
the least by the pests.
One farmer stated this morning that
two-thirds of his potato plants, which
about month ago looked very
promising, had been destroyed by
plant lice. He further stated that he
had been able to combat successfully
with the potato bugs but owing to
prevalence Of the other destroyers and
his ignorance Of their tactics they had
gotten the best of him. He also as
serted that they were thicker this
year that never before and that in
former years little attention had been
paid to them.
According to his staten ents the
pests only destroy potato plants that
are located on high ground and do
not touch those planted on fiat and
low ground All other crops such as
corn, OATS. and all of the garden pro-
DUCTS, are progressing rapidly and
large return will probably be the gen.
eral rule. ~.
Save the Laurel.
An earnest appeal for the conser-
vatioh of the laurel, the state flower
