The Wise Editor.

The editor of the small-town news
paper was in dire distress. He owed
everybody and he was out at the ell
bows and had patches on the seat OF
his pants because the local merchants
would not advertise with him. So the
editor took his pen in hand and wrot,
this item, which appeared in the fol
lowing issue of his paper:
"A certain prominent merchant IN
this town, who is married man, was
seen hugging one OF his pretty clerk,
the other day. We have his name"
And the next day five local mer-
chants dropped in to see the editor
handed him good cigars, patted him on
the back and gave him copy for adver
tisements to be run in his paper.

MOTHER, FATHER AND
 SWEETH FART WERE KILLED, William WeyeI of the Hospital Corps Had Greeted Them Shortly Before,

Louis Astorino, a moving picture operator of 529 Quinnipiac avenue, New Haven. visited an undertaking rooms in New London Tuesday afternoon. There he found the body of his 22 year old wife Julia and the mangied remains of his three f1axen haired children, all victims Of the horrible wreck at Ferry crossing, Saybrook, Monday night
 He took from his wallet little pho tograph of the youngsters. He looked at it long. and then he kissed it again and again.
 T cannot look at my babies" he said choking With emotion "I want to remember the little angels as they were. See. my whole family is gone I must begin life all over again. My poor little ones." And he was led away by his companion, heart broken.
 A little later a boy in khaki rushed into the undertaking rooms of H. D. Robinson in Essex and the scene was little different This was William Weye1 of the hospital corps and he identified his father and mother Mir. and Mrs. Gustav Weyel, of 529 Quin- nipiac avenue, and his sweetheart Ma bel Wagner. of 2o9 North Front street, the other victims Of the auto-train col lision. He was frantic and medical as- sistance had to be summoned to calm him. On Monday night he had greeted the girl and his parents and the Asto- rino family t the camp in Mantle

MANY DEATHS IN
 STATE DURING JULY. Rate for the Month Was 14.7 Per Thousand Inhabitants.

The number of deaths in the state during July was 1,553, making an aV- craze death rate of 14.7, as compared with 16.a. the death rate for 1916. ac- cording to the August issue of the health bulletin published hy the state department Of health. Of these. 2J3 died of communicable diseases and 252 were deaths under 1 year of age The rate of deaths per thousand births was S4 per cent
 The number of births in Hartford during -he month of June exceeded the number of deaths by 106 there being 323 births and 217 deaths. Maria ges for the same month totaled 243. New Haven led for the month with 29S marriages. while Bridgeport was sec ond with 274 Hartford was third with 243, and Waterbury tTaile 1 along with l51
 Hartford had the largest number of deaths for the four cities, 217, Bridge port coming next with 1S7, New Haven next with IF and Waterbury last with l12. New Haven again leaps to first place in the number of births with 421, Bridgeport having 3S1, Hartford 323, and Wa terbury 225
 The need of a ba by camp is adVo- catCd by the bulletin. II is considered by this publication that such a camp is duty, that provision should be made for the care of infants so many of whom must live in hot swcltering tenements amid flies and filth.
 Another matter which is strongly urged is that children be taught to swim The bulletin point sout that not only is swimming d healthtul exercise easily learned but that during July of this year 46 persons in the state died from drowning. deaths which the bull letin maintains were unnecessary. The economic loss from these deaths is felt to he far in excess of what the cost would be of providing public swimming instructors.
 Commissioner of Domestic Animals James M- WhittleseN has article in the bulletin on the control ot rabies in Connecticut. The reason tor the ap- pearance of this article in the bulletin is explained in the first paragra ph. The fact that anieS has existed in 42 towns and cities in the state since Jan. 1. that 1t has been necessary tC issue or ders muzzling Nand quarantining dogs in nine cities and towns, that three deaths have occurred from bites of rabid dogs, and that the state is pay ing out large sums for Pasteur treat ment for persons having been bitten is sufficient, the commissioner feels. to imals to ask the help, of Inc health depa rtment in suppressing and prs- venting the disease.
 Numerous suggestions are given as to the best way to combat the rabies 1 An interesting table is given showing der in Great Britain, for a term of i years, between 1895 and 1901 In 1895 i a total Of 612 cases were reported. The next year it had bean retSced to 43S l dropping to 151 the next year and go | ing down to IT in 1898 In the year 1 1899 9 cases were reported. 1900 having | 6 and 1901 1. This, in the opinion of i Mir. Whittlesey. is proof that rabies l can be controlled by a rigid enforce ment Of the muZzling law.

Rockies Are Becoming More Familiar
 With Their Rifles.

Headquarters of the Fifth Company. Fort Terry, N Y., Aug. 22-Monday and Tuesday were easy days in this camp on account of the second inocu- latton which the boys took Monday morning. They were given twenty four hours od duty and some of the company that was way on pass had to 80 to the hospital Tuesday after noon for their dose of tle serum. On Tuesday morning at ten o'clock the company fell in for artillery drill for one hour. At one o'clock they again fell in for infantry and rife drill un- der Lieutenant Avery.
 Sergeant Labrea has invented an ar they will get used to sighting the gun through both sights. The arrangement consists of a tripod, bag of sand and a rifle with target on a stationary building. Already the rockies are learning to sight their guns better and it is expected that the company will make a good showing when they go on the range in the near future The new arrangement is causing a great deal of comment throughout the camps and Sergeant La abrea is getting lots of credit for his work.
 The Service News, the weekly pa Der on the island. made it's first ap pearance Saturday afternoon and 1t was greatly appreciated by the men. It is the earnest wish of the men be- hind the paper that that 1t will be success both for them and Tor the good of the men stationed at the fort. The paper tends to bring the mem bers of the various companies together more often.
 The paper treats of articles in gen eral that will interest the men and benefit them in many ways besides containing items from and about the members of the various companies.
 The Y. NJ. C. A. tent stationed on the east end of the island has been greatly appreciated by the men not only for it's magazines and writing paper but the piano helps pass away the evenings foT the men. Corporal Kirk Ricketts efficiates at the piano and Musician Doughertv helps along the fun with his violin. The other have 2 number of good singers as well as banjo players. With this aggregation many a pleasant ev- ening is spent and the lonesomeness is taken away to some extent.
 Sergeant Crowell has received consignment of Jamaica Ginger and many members of the company are feeling better since the remedy arriv- ed Bob, the company mascot, is still the favorite ot the company and many of the visitors that have meen to the camp.

 Although exceptions are casionally found, hens do not as a rule lay and moult a the same time Trap-nest records show that the late layers and late moulters are also the ones that began first the previous autumn. Fur thermore, the early moulters do not usually begin laying again a bit soon- CT in the winter. Hens that stop lay ing and moult in August or early Sep tember should he marketed. These hens car easily be distinguished by certain definite characteristics and all interested in seeing Prof. Jones carry ing out the best methods of culing arc welcome to attend any or all of these demonstrations Each one of the flock owners are keeping an egg record for the week previous to the demonstra- ton and for the week following, so that definite information can he obtained and the benefit of such practice be figured
