MRS. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

This is the birthday Of Benjamin
Franklin,l when Americans honor the
memory Of the great statesman, hpil-
osopher and scientist and therefore
an appropriate time for recalling the
romance of his life. It was when
Franklin was a lad of II, just arriv-
ed in Philadelphia, that the future
Mrs. Benjamin Franklin first saw
him. He had two rolls of bread un-
der his arms, and his pockets were
stuffed with stockings and shirts,
when he pissed by the house of Mr..
Reed, his future father-in-law. Miss
Reed saw him, and laughed at his
ridiculous appearance. Later he OBJ
tanned lodging at the Read home, and
the young couple soon fell int love.
The father at first objected. but he
soon relented, and at 8 Franklin was
engaged to wed Miss Read. He them
went to London, where he remained
Is months writing but once to his
lady love and then only to say that
she was not likely to see him soon.
Piqued at this Indifference, she mar
ried another man, who turned out
thorough rascal, and soon fed, un-
der suspicion of bigamy. 1t was not
absolutely certain that the marriage
was not valid, but on his return to
Philadelphia, Franklin ''ventured,
however, over all difficulties" as he
wrote, "and I took her to wife"

THE POTATO AND WAR

The humble archaeological by
science as the Solanum tuberosum--
has been cast for a very important
part in this war. German hopes of
victory rise and fall with the potato
crop. 'The potato question" says a
recent dispatch dealing with condi-
tons in Germany, els one of the lead
officials intrusted with the task of see
ing that the workers back of the
front are kept in trim for the pro-
duction of the war material needed
by the men on the fighting line"
When, early last season, it was pre-
dicted that THE 1916 potato crop of.
Germany would break all records,
there was joy throughout the empire
joy and confidence in ultimate VIC
tory. Gradually the news has leaked
out that the prophets were mistaken,
and that the 1916 crop was even con-
siderably smaller than that Of 1915.
Perhaps there is relation between
that fact and the Teuton peace pro-
posals. In any \event, the potato,
humble native OF American and in.
trdduced to Europe in the latter part
of the sixteenth century, now holds
rank as one of the most important
of foodstuffs. That old monarch
who offered his kingdom for a horse
may have modern prototype in the
Kaiser, whose need for potatoes is
equally urgent.

CONN. GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION
CHARCESOPPONENTS With TRYING
TO DRIVE II OUT OF EXISTENCE
Accuses Politicians of Circulating Falsehoods About the
Organization Attacks Warren Bros for Posing as
Champions of Getting Contracts by Merit.

Mcdonald. contracts amounting to
about three-quarters of a million dol
lars for Warrenite. No one knew
any such enormous amount had been
given to this concern until the pres
ent highway commissioner took place
and found the contracts. Is this the
merit system that appeals to The
Warren Bros. company? Is this the
merit" system The Warren Bros.
company exemplified by their sue
cess in Bridgeport, where large ap-
preparations are handed over to them
without competition We leave it for
them to answer.
The newspaper, which acts as the
publicity agent of the politicians
seeking control of the highway de-
partment, insists that an investiga-
ton of this alleged 'slush fund.- of
the Good Roads association must be
had. '.Slush fund.- implies that some
one has money to use.
Investigation will show that, with
all bills paid on January 1, 1917. we
would have had a net balance of
s76.73 in the treasury. This balance
is the "slush fund.- with which we
are to accelerate the passage of
the highway appropriation through
the legislature.
The Connecticut Good Roads asso-
citation, it's officers and directors, will
welcome an investi cation by any
committee. The deeper the investi-
cation, the more welcome. We have
absolutely nothing to conceal If
such an investigation is undertaken
and is completed, the selfish personal
interests behind this attack upon the
Connecticut Good Roads association
will be revealed. It will accomplish
the very ends we seek to attain and
place the truth before the public.
For the benefit of the Warren
Bros. company and their publicity
agents will say that no contractor,
no paying company, and no road ma
terial concern is a contributor to the
Connecticut Good Roads association.

THE WISDOM OF FRANKLIN

This is the birthday Of Benjamin
orally observed as the natal days Of
some of the other great men of the
other great men of the period in
which he lived, it will not be permit
ted to pass unnoticed. Printers and
philosophers join in honoring the
memory Of the many-sided Franklin,
and he is now honored almost as
much in England and France as in
America.
Franklin wrote not for day, but
for all time, and most of his "Say-
ings of Poor Richard" are just as ap-
plicable to-day as when they were
written. Dipping into this treasure
of homely wisdom, one finds such
gems as these:
You may be too summing for One,
but not for All.
If you'd lose troublesome Visitor,
lend him money.
Genius without Education is like
Silver in the Mine.
Scarlet, Silk and Velvet have put
out the Kitchen Fire.
Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed;
too severe, seldom executed.
When prosperity was we'll mount
ed, she let go the briddle, and soon
came tumbling out of the Saddle.
Most People return small Favours,
acknowledge middling ones, and re-
pay great ones with Ingratitude.
The learned Fool writes his Nom
sense in better Language than the
unlearned; but still it's Nonsense.
Many a Man thinks he is buying
Pleasure, when he is really selling
himself Slave to it.
To bear other peoples affections,
everyone has courage enough and to
spare.
Serving God is doing good to Man,
but praying is thought an easier Ser
vice, and therefore more generally
chosen.
Here comes lib-Tongue; who can
out-flatter/a Dedication; and lie, like
ten Epitaphs
Sal. laughs at everything you say.
Why? Because she has fine teeth.
If you know how to spend less than
you get, you have the Philosophers
Old Boys have their PIaythings as
well as young Ones; the difference is
only in the Price.
A false Friend and a Shadow at
tend only while the Sun shines.
He's the best physician that knows
the worthlessness Of the most medt-
cines.
He that can travel well a-foot,
keeps a good horse

GERMAN BAUERN BALL.

this city in many a day will be the
German Bauern Ball which is to be
held at the Casino on State street,
Monday evening, Jan. %. To say that
a great many people are looking for
ward to this affair with interest would
be putting it mildly.
A fancy drill by the "a ladies and
gentlemen of the floor COMMITTEES,
dressed in Tyrolean and BavarfaAl
costumes, is expected to be most eA-
tertaining. Another novel feature
will be German kitchen, which w4H
be especially pleasing to all.
A large attendance Of Hungarian
ladies in Hungarian costumes will add
color to the occasion. The mar
riage bureau will surely be largely

FAMOUS VELVET JOE
PUBLISHES ALMANAC

The almanac is not a back number.
And just to prove it, Velvet Joe, the
well-known philosopher of sunshine
and writer of homely verse, has is
sued a modern and up-to-date alma

''If anybody has the notion" says
the author, "that an almanac is strict
ly a farmers proposition, let him get
it out of his head. ! The only man
who can find more use for an almanac
than farmer, is the city man.
"You see a real almanac has got
things In it that the Encyclopedia of
BRITANNICA never even heard of. Sup
pose somebody asked you right quick
who won the Worlds Championship In
1897. You look on page of the lit
tie old almanac and say:
"''97? Why the Baltimore Ma
tionals beat Boston games to 1. ANY,
body ought to know that!
COR suppose somebody gets to ar
gum about the cost of livin' or what's
the tallest buildin' in the world-just
look in the almanac an then just
naturally squash 'em."
we must say there is in IT fund of
useful information that every business
man would be glad to have in such
handy form. There are historic facts,
postal information, first aid hints, etc.
ad infinitum And the pages are lib
orally sprinkled with comments on
life and men and with verse, done in
Velvet Joes inimitable style that has
endeared him to scores of thousands OF
