after an illnesss of eight weeks.
Mr.. Stokes had been i'll for eight
weeks, following an acute attack OF
heart trouble. and while his death was
not unexpected, the news Of it created
q shock throughout the city today.
The young man was very popular
in Bridgeport. He enjoyed an &C
quaintanceship Of great scope and he
had an enviable number Of friends.
Those with whom he associated So
cially and well as the many persons
with whom he came in contact in bust
ness are mourning him today.
He was only % years old, and was
giving promise Of developing into a

went to the Union Business college,
ana laid the foundation for his bust
ness career. Graduating, he entered

tivities in the Hinkec Dee club, an
organization OF young men which was
formed several years ago, were wide
spread.
For eight weeks he had fought to
retain his hold on life and while the
reports from his home were not en-
couragfng at first, during the last few
days his friends began to expect
speedy recovery. He declined last
night, however, and shortly after ]
this morning, he died. At his bedside

realizing that drastic action will be necessary to save the situation, unanimously decided to call for a referendum vote of all unions to ascretain how many will be willing to, in future, ignore all such in junction orders as are calculated to break strikes and destroy orga- nization. You are therefore re- quested to take a vote and imme diately notify this office of the le- suit.

Farming Too Much Land,

There is such thing as trying to dc
too much in this world. This is true
in business and all kinds of human en-
deavor, and especially is it true in
farming. When too many irons are in
the fire some are liable to get burnt
A business man who spreads out too
much scatters his energy as well as his
resources aud frequently meets with
failure on that account. Likewise a
farmer, who farms more acres than he
can conveniently handle with his help
and farming equipment, will not get
the best results. He and his family as
well as his teams will be over-worked
and the farm work will not be done as
well as it should be done nor at the
right time. We often hear it said if
the farmers in this country would farm
as they do in certain countries in
Europe then crops would be doubled or
trebled. That is no doubt true, but it
must also be remembered that the
European farmer generally cultivates
small farms and has plenty of cheap
labor at his disposal. Hence he is able
to give the soil that thorough cultiva-
ton, rotation of crops and fertilization
needed to produce the big crops. 1t is
true that the American farmer has the
advantage of having at his disposal the
best and most modern farm machinery
in the world, and this advantage goes
long ways to counterbalance the
cheap labor Of the European farmer
But even so, no farmer can give the
same careful and detailed attention te
the tillage of a big farm as he can to a
small one While a farmer should
farm all the land he can farm well, it
is a poor policy to attempt to farm
more land than he can handle sue
cessfully.
