 During the last few months of his life, General Barlow told his friend with what has proved to be a pro- phetic vision, that some day beau tiful memorial would arise in Wash ington to the devoted heroism of such women as Mrs. Barlow. The memo rial is there now as a tribute to all the brave women of the nation who have rendered patriotic services at home and on the battlefield while the men fought for the nation. To such a society the men and women of New Britain are asked to lend their hearty cooperation. Officers and members of the New Britain Chapter of the American Red Cross will be present tomorrow night at the Chamber of Commerce rooms to welcome those who would help the Hardware City do it's duty for the nation.

artin H. Glynn is right.

Martin H. Glynn is right.
 The former governor of New York, in his Albany newspaper, gives the subjoined bit of patriotic advice which is worth repeating in times such as these:
 Don't argue!
 Don't keep asking the orchestra to play "The Star Spangled Banner If you feel that way about it, go up and enlist.
 Don't try to explain what the President should have done. Cheer what he is doing!
 Don't peddle rumors. Make at least a little effort to ascertain what truth there is in a story before repeating it!
 Rumors incite disorder and excite people.
 In short, keep your shirt on!

Gob BLESS THE MAN.

H 3[5 God bless the man who first invented
 sleep!"
 So sancho Panza said, and old John
 Saxe; But all the blessings such a man
 could reap
 From me would never help to pay
 his tax. I'd like to meet the man who did
 invent
 This cursed cloak that OCT each
 mortal falls Just when at night the World seems
 so intent
 On Joyousness, long ere the pleas ure palls. He'd fare not well with me, this craven wretch Who first invented sleep to dull the g head Into state of coma, and to stretch My lanky carcass on trundle bed. An, no! The william, should I catch
 him here,
 Full sore complaint he would re-
 ceive for this, The dull invention which, have a
 fear,
 Is cause for mortals missing much
 of bliss. "God bless the man who first un-
 saddles sleep!"
 So Sancho Panza did not say; but I Am willing that my share of sleep
 shall keep
 Tn storage till I shut my eyes,
 and die.

CIRCUS MAN DISCOURAGED.

An agent for Ringing Bros. circus, who is securing grounds for the sum- mer itinerary, visited New Britain today in an effort to obtain location for the circus here this spring. He, left town deeply discouraged and it is not believed that the circus will show here The agent said it was the first occasion in his forty years on the road where merchants declined to cooperate with him or to offer him any encouragement. The best site he could find was St. Mary's play ground, which is not thought to be suitable. He was surprised to find that the merchants were so opposed to plan to keep money in New Britain instead of allowing it to go to Hartford. ?

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.

Agricultural cooperative associa
 tions are on the way. Farmers in the 1 United States are tending towards z condition where they will unite mucl in the same fashion of other mutua aid associations. It is the dawn of g | new era for those who till the soil.
 Connecticut farmers should be in terested in the idea. The term as here used is understood to include truck 1 farms as well as those who operate on | a more extensive scale. A draft of a l bill for use by states desiring to pro- vide for the organization of non-stock agricultural and horticultural CO., l operative associations has been drawn 1 in the United States Department of Agriculture.
 In shaping this bill effort has been made to conform to the Clayton amendment to the United States anti trust laws. This amendment exempts from the operation of these laws labor, agricultural and horticultural organizations instituted for the pur- pose of mutual help and not having capital stock or conducted for profit. .
 The bill is drawn on the principle that every association created under it shall act exclusively as an agent for the member. If it acts for a nom member it shall do so also as an agent All services are to be performed at cost. It is sought by this application of the principle of agency to safe guard the non-profit feature of such an organization. It is absolutely es- sential, as pointed out by a paper pub l lished by the department, that this ganization and in the conduct of the association.
 The bill would permit the associa- ton, as agent for it's members, to per- form services connected with the pro- | duction, preservation, drying, canning.
 storing, handling, utilization, market
 ing or sale of agricultural and horti-
 cultural products produced by them.
 IL Wouiu dlSO permit the aSSOclatlOn to
 perform for it's members, in similar
 way, services connected with the bur
 chase or hiring of supplies, including live stock, machinery, and equipment. and the hiring of labor. The mem
 bership of such organizations would be limited to, persons engaged ir
 agriculture or horticulture Member
 ship would be non-transferable ant
 each member would be entitled to on vote only, to be delivered in person o i, by mailed ballots. Voting by prox would not be permitted.
 , The draft of the proposed bill wa prepared in the Department in com
 pliance. with requests from man
 officials and individuals. It is pointe
 out that the Department of Agricu
 ture has no power to give an author | tative ruling as to the antitrust law of the United States It is suggested , therefore, that those who desire
 make use of the bill drafted by tn l Department or to organize thereunde Il should act with reference to the maj : i ter on the advice of competent cour seI of their own choice.

Charges preferred against Police man Frank J. Moore by Jacob Teresky, tailor of 245 East Main street, were re- ferred back to Chief Rawlings for any action that he may see fit on the ground that there are not sufficiently serious to warrant action by the board.

He claimed they did not fit and wanted the money back. Police man Moore was called in and, finally Teresky gave the money back and took back the trousers. Teresky contended that Policeman Moore was boisterous hit the counter with his night stick, drove away patrons and frightened Mrs Teresky and their twelve year old son. Policeman Moore, in his report, said that Mrs. Teresky said 'yes" relative to giving the money back and Teresky said mo" Also that Teresky from the amount to pay for the trouble resulting from the deal.
