SPANISH UNREST IS
DUE TO MANY CAUSES
Large Element Dissatisfied
with Kings COurse---Favor
Break with Germany

Madrid, Aug. 22.-(By mail) THE
movement of unrest which has been
making itself more and more felt in
Spain during the last two months, is
! due to three factors; the agitation in
military circles, the discomfort of the
democratic party, which includes social
lists and reformists, and the unrest of
the working classes, due to the priva-
tion of the economic crisis.
The dissatisfaction in the army is
due to what is held to be favortism.
certain officers receiving advance
ment through court influence. 1t is
claimed by the Officers Committees
that the king is aiming to form per
sonal party in the army on which he
can rely for events. !. second reason
for discomfort is the insufficiency Of
officers pay and the need for techni-
cal reorganization in the army.
As important is the agitation of the
democratic group, which is daily grow
ing more dissatisfied with the govern
ment Is attitude towards the belliger-
ents and lack of firmness with regard
to the Central Empires. This group
which comprises the various anti-con-
stitutional parties. and has been sup
porting the government forms what is
called the "Block of the Left',, is
working with combined energies to
give Spanish neutrality a frankly En-
tentophile character. One of the ends
in view is a diplomatic rupture with
the Central Empire, the pretext for
which would be the German submarine
exploits agaisst Spanish shipping.
The third factor the unrest in the
working classes, is entirely due to the
economic crisis. Sympathy for one or
the other group of belligerents varies
according to the different regions.
The main object of the democratic
party is, to turn both the military and
the proletariat movements to its own
benefit, by coordinating them and Civ
ing them a common direction.
AS regards the military malcontents,
this appears quite feasible, in view of
the fact that so far the army has con-
cerned itself very little with the actual
form of the government. Therefore if
the "Block of the Left" can per
suade the dissatisfied military elements
that their aims are shared by the demo-
cratic group, they will not hesitate to
make common cause with them.
The democratic group is likewise
counting on turning the labor unrest to
its advantage. If general strike is
which seems quite likely,
and another cabinet crisis is the result,
the workmen will not object if the
radical party gain the upper hand in
the government. This party is there
fore watching intently every phrase
of the labor unrest as well as the de-
of the military movement,
ready to exploit both whenever the
occasion offers itself
On the oth1r nand the declaration
signed by the leaders of the three poll
teal parties which fused to form the
'Block of the Left" leaves no doubt
that this group contemplates vigorous
action, even independently of the
army and labor movements.

to be limited to specified objectives in
their advances. The poilus want to
keep on going. They fretted yester-
day at stern orders limiting them tc
certain trenches over which they
swarmed in unbeatable waves, when
there were more German lines Just
ahead that they felt could Just as well
have been captured. In some places the
troops could not restrain themselves
from exceeding the limits of the ad-
vance which had been estimated by
the French headquarters.
Reports from the various component
armies participating in the offensive
around Verdun, established today the
fact that the French artillery has de-
stroyed scores of great German guns
brought up year ago by infinite labor
and fixed in elaborate emplacements
for what was to be Germany s victor
ious assault on Verdun.
The Dead Man Hill
Dead Man s Hill blackened by the
blood of thousands on both sides, its
slopes gaunt spectre of naked ground
was entirely in French hands today.
The myriad defenses on which the
crown prince spent months was leveled
into mere crumbled earth. The hill it
self must remain a gigantic monument
to lost hopes. 1t took the Germans
months to capture it, more months to
fiortify it, and still more months to
hold it. The French took it in the first
S advance.
Cunningly devised tunnels which the
Germans had dug in the hill with the
idea of permitting instantaneous rein
forcement of various lines by troops
whose advance to front lines would
be protected from barrage fire, were
found literally choked with dead.
The fighting was bitterly intense
last night and was still continuing in
violence this morning.

NEW HAIR REMOVER IN
DEMAND, SAY DRUGGISTS
(Phelactine Removes Roots
and All)

X x X X X x X x X X X X \: X <
Since the virtues of phelactine as a
hair remover became generally known,
druggists in this country have been
having really extraordinary demand
for this remarkable product. The fact
that it actually removes the roots-be-
fore ones very eyes--as well as the
surface hairs, is of course mainly re-
sponsible for its large and increasing
sale. The new method is not TO be can.-
pared at all with the usual depilatory,
electrical or other process. It is en-
tirely safe, non-irritating, non-poison-
Gus. odorless-and instantaneous! A
stick of phelactine, used in accordance
with the simple instructions which ac-
company it, can be purchaed anywhere
on a money back basis, so certain is it
to satisfy and delight the user.

The symptoms of kidney and blad- der troubles are often distressing and leave the system in a rundown con- dition. The kidneys seem to suffer most, as almost every victim com plains of lame back and urinary trou- bles which should not be neglected, as these danger signals often lead to more dangerous kidney troubles.

STAMFORD FIRE
 CHIEF TO HAVE
 NEW ASSISTANT
Selectmen Promulgate Many New Regulations for
 Department
Especial to The Farmer )

Stratford, Dec. 19-An assistant fire concerning Stratford Fire Depart ment, No. l, of which Allen D. Jud- son is chief, were formulated and unanimously passed by the selectmen at meeting held by them at the town hall. George Hattersley, presi- dent of the Nichols avenue fire de- pertinent, was appointed assistant chief MT. Hattersley is well known about town and has been affiliated with the Nichols avenue volunteer fire fighters for number of years.
 As regards the rules for fire head is ne salary attached to his new posi- quarters laid down by the town fath- CTS, political dopesters about the town are in a quandary. Some are of the opinion that Chief Allen D. Jud- son has been remiss in his duty while others say that it is for betterment of the department.
 It was voted at the meeting hat Clerk Harold c. Lowell write Chief in case of fire at night shall he leave the engine house without the night crew for both chemicals The chief was also instructed to break in ten men who belong to the company and demonstrate to them how to run both cars, also instruction as to how to make hydrant connections and handle | chemical tanks.
 About two months ago the select men purchased two nicKie plated Py- rene extinguishers for the Nichols avenue fire house. Somehow that | company never, received them and notified the selectmen. An investi gation by that body revealed the fact that the extinguishers were still in possession of Fire Co. No. 1. The l result was that Chief Judson was or dered to take the Pyrenes from his car and deliver them to the Nichols | avenue department and put the two brass Pyrene extinguishers lying loosely around the fire house, on his l car.
 Present at the meeting were First Selectman James Lally and Selectman Fred W. Nettleton, and Clerk Harold c. Lowell. Selectman John J. Will Hams was unable to attend on ac- count of illness.

SMALL POTATOES FOR SEED.

The potatoe growers of Great Britain
who grow potatoes for seed use small
|tubers exclusively, potatoes from Ia
to 2 1-2 inches in diamater have been
|foun dto be the best seed for this pur-
pose. These growers believe that an
earlier and more vigorous growth is
|secured from immature tubers.
Some of the reasons why European
growers have adopted whole seed and
are succeeding in producing profitable
crops are as follows:
They are assured of almost per
fleet stand; there is greater freedom
from disease; the almost universal
practice of terminating their seed be-
fore painting, nsures a minimum num-
| Der of sprouts.
! Scotch and Irish potato growers
plant not less than 81 bushels to the
acre. and sometimes this quantity Is
greatly exceeded The American grow
err on the other hand, plans from &c
l16 bushels, the average crop in the
United States in 1912 was 81 bushels

crop the average was IL tons or oo'
bushels, this had been the smallest
crop in FIVE years, whereas the lslz
lcrop in the United States had been the
heaviest since 1872.
| Small seed should not be used o'
dry land as they need more moisture
than large cut seed.
| In 1897, the writer planted six acre
