Confessed His Guilt

"That's a fine umbrella you carry, isn't it?"
 "Yes."
 Did you come by it honestly?"
 q haven't quite made it out. It started to rain the other day and I stepped into a doorway to wait till it stopped. Then I saw young fellow coming along with nice large um- brella and I thought if he was going so far as my house I would beg the shelter of his gamp. So I stepped out and asked, Where are you going with that umbrella, young fellow?' and he dropped the umbrella and ran."

SPRING THAW
 TO HALT RIGA , FRONT DRIVE

Copenhagen. April "A parsonage particularly we'll informed politically and militarily'' who is easily recog- nizable as Col. Won Haeften of the general staff. in charge of the mili- tary department of the foreign office, has informed the Politiken that there is no prospect of a German offensive on the Riga front. Col. Von Haeften says:
 ''The spring thaw that is now set ting in is enough in itself to deprive an offensive of any chance of success. Even if the Germans succeeded in taking the Russian positions it would be impossible for them to move ar- tillery and supplies forward for an advance on Petrogorad. They would be hopelessly begged.
 "A modern offensive cannot be inn provised. Months are needed for preparation, so it extremely improb able that the German leaders will change their original plan owing to the new political situation resulting from the Russian revolution"
 Col. Won Haeften also doubts whether Field Marshal Won, linden burg contenplates an offensive on the Sereth front in Rumania but thinks he will adopt a defensive atti- tude oh the east front generally. The Po1itiken continues:
 'The statements of the German general staff, which have certain in herent probabilities, are another ex- ample of the German determination to quiet Russian apprehension in ev- cry possible way. They are issued. ns is clearly evident from the tone of the various newspaper comments, with the design of not interfering by outside pressure with the growth of the peace sentiment in Russia and particularly with the spirit of disor- ganization. The belief is cherished that the Russians, if left to them selves, will inevitably continue to quarrel over internal questions, whereas the menace of a strong Ger. man offensive would weld all Rus idan parties together in defense of their national existence

Bridgeport c. of c.
 to Cooperate With
 County Farm Bureau

. Thea Bridgeport Chamber of Com mere will cooperate with the Fair field County Farm Bureau and finan- cially assist in the active campaign to be conducted by the Farm Bureau for back yard and vacant-lot gardens With the steady advancement of food prices and decreasing supplies, this movement has been started to in crease the production of food stuffs in the county through cultivation of backyard gardens by boys and girls.
 Although the Farm Bureau now needs $1,5O0.00 for it's normal work, the directors, feeling that New Eng land was too dependant on other states for it's food and that a serious shortage might speedily result from any tie-up of transportation or from general movement of farmers and farm laborers from farms to enlist in the Army or Navy, or to work in munitions factories, will raise fur ther sum of $2,0O0 to employ skill ed club worker, whose time will be en- tirely devoted to organizing potato, poultry, corn, pig and garden clubs among the women and to giving in- struction and supervising the work
 It is felt that with the aid of such an experienced paid worker, the movement will become firmly estab- 1ished on an efficient basis. All pa- .triotic citizens and organizations are requested to join the Farm Bureau to give this work financial and moral support. The Bureau has three classes of membership, active, sus- taining. and contributing. at $1, $5, $25 respectively. Applications for membership should be sent to Charles H. Dilworth. Secretary. Norwalk, Conn, accompanied by checks to the order of Fairfield County Farm Bu- reau. For further information ad- dress the Secretary, the County Agents, S. J. Wright, the preidsent Seth Low Pierpont of Ridgefield or Mrs. B. G. H. Shenck, of Wilton, the director assigned to Boys and Girls Club work. The sum of $250 was pledged at the meeting. leaving $3,- 250 to be raised.
 At a meeting of important agricu1- tural, legislative and business repre- sentatives of the State held at Hart ford on Wednesday, March 28th, un- der the auspices of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce, and at which Gov. Holcomb was present, the fol- lOWlnS TeSSOIuIlOn was aOOpCSO:
 Whereas it is the opinion of this meeting that the matter of food SUD- ply for Connecticut during 1917 is one that demands immediate attention and that much help can be obtained through the cultivation of home gar dens, and vacant lots, and the organi- zation of canning activities among the people of the State, we recommend first, that the President of the Con- necticut Chamber of Comerce appoint committee to cooperate and as- sist in the extension of this work second, that the chairman of this meeting appoint a committee of three to cooperate with the State Board of Agriculture for the purpose of aid- ing and directing the agricultural pro- duction of the State, and we hereby pledge our support to the aid of the said project"
