MT. Carswell said:

Weather for June.

MT. Editor: Some of my critics chuckled considerably because there was some rain the first of May. My predictions distinctly said: May would be a dry month: three frost periods, the worst about the middle of the month"; The Bulletin. both May Is and IT. had reports of bad frosts in several parts of Connecticut. l also said distinctly that the last two weeks of May would be very dry. end ing with a big storm the end of the month." I leave it with your readers.
 Now, then. if you fellows got scared at planting potatoes in April or May, get busy this old moon in June: plenty of time, and you will skip one crop of potato bugs. There are two well de- fined frost periods in June, one from 4th. to 1th- Have plenty of water ready to water your plants before sunrise and you'll get by all right. A bad drouth and extreme heat from June 14 to 20. Near the 90 mark a dozen different days in June this year. There are four storm periods in June, but the ten dency of the wind to swing to the west will make at least two of them dry storms, and possibly all. When it looks most like rain this June. it will end in parching wind. About the only relief I see from dry weather Is electrical storms. that will be very numerous. but more noise than rain.-
 Keep your courage up. you young gardeners, for July conditions will be much better than the average July and will help you out.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society.

Duino, which the Italians are re- ported to have taken recently in their renewed drive toward Austria's great Adriatic seaport of Trieste, is des- cribed in the following war geography bulletin issued by the National Geo. graphic Society:
 jar with the environs of tIc little hamlet of Duino with its 800 tnhabl- tants, it's quaint old chateau and It's ruined castle by the sea. It neSNes on the eastern shore of the Bay of Panzano, a northern arm of the Gulf of Trieste, and is twelve miles in an airline from the important Adriatic seaport.

 Back in the middle ages, Duino was the seat of the Counts of that name who occupied the castle now in ruins and who held sway over considerable territory in this vicinity, including the town of Plume which came into their possession from the bishop of Pola in 1139 and was held by them until the 14th century.
 "A mile and a half from Duino is San Giovanni. where the River Tim avo or Timavus gushes from the ground in such volume that vessels can sail to it's very source. This is supposed to be the River Reka which

DEPENDING ON UNITED STATES

How great the demand is that is being made upon this country ply the other nations of the world, and par ticularly those engaged in the war which have not experienced a shut ting off Of their. shipping, is shown by the. statement which has Just been made by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, when 1t reports that the exports from the United States, for the, first time in the his- tory of the country, exceeded six bill lion dollars In the twelve months end ing with April of this year. This country has been experiencing a growing foreign trade. ever since the war opened in supplying the needs of beiligerents and also of reutra1s, which formerly traded with the bel 1igerents but which were forced to seek new markets because their or ;ders could not be, filled by the coun- tries which had formerly looked after their needs.
 F This gain is of course. attributable Ito the war. It has been steadily growing ever since the struggle open ed but the past year showed a tre- mendous advance as is disclosed by the fact that with the close of April 1916. the exports for. the twelve months period amounted to less than four billion dollars while for similar periods previous to that time it has not exceeded two and a half billions and was more frequently less than that.
 This statement thus lends emphasis to the great need of this nation to look carefully after it's supplies. There is need for giving every attention to increased production and to making the best use of what is possessed that our own wants, as we'll as those of the nations which are allied with us in. the war. and the neutrals who are not improperly dealing with the enc my may be taken care of.

PATENT MEDICINE RIGHTS.

. At such a time as this when the United States is fin a state of war with Germany the. question of patent rights Is bound to be raised. There are many limited States patents which are held in Germany, and inasmuch as there has Beer, such a; restriction placed upon the importation of Ger man products, many of which are ex- tensively used in this country, it is but natural that there should be a demand made for the removal of the restraint of the patent rights.
 This is particularly important in the case of medicines. There is nc question but what they can be man. ufactured in this country just as we'll as they can be put together in Ger many. and that others than those having the right can produce the same goods, and the only reason why such is not done is that the owners of the patent medicines are protected against such a: procedure by the pat ent law of this country which they have complied with,
 With the shutting off of such neces- sities, or the prohibitive prices that exist, which have the same effect al- most, this country is placed at a se- rious t9Fsadvantage as long as the patent rights are respected, but in .asmuch as the medicines cannot be sent to this country little Or no ben eft is- being obtained therefrom by the possessors of the rights. Thus it must be appreciated that if such rights are abrogated for the exist ence of the war it will have no seri- ous effect. upon the German producers but it will be of marked advantage in dealing with disease , in this coun- try, and that is what needs to get se- rious consideration a this time. We must look out. for our own interests and see that no unreasonable handi- caps are allowed to prevail; especial ly when the removal of such would work no hardship upon anyone else, and the rights would be restored fol- lowing the establishment of peace.

LETTERS TO THE EDIIOa
Water Department Salaries.

Mir. Editor :~Two of our citizens have touched on the water question lately, owing to it's unpala table qualities one of them implying that 1t may be the result of the recent law passed by our peanut legislators at Hartford making the office of superintendent permanent. It may be news to many to recall the manner in which the present office holders of the water department were elected last year.
 Through some means or other the democratic councilman from Greene vile was induced to turn traitor to his party and all his party pledges in regard to nominations and vote for Councilman Murray. a republican, of Greeneville. for water commissioner. thereby handing over the control of the water department to the republi- cans. It was by this dishonorab.e 6 method that the present superintendent was assured of the office, and it would seem an insult to the decency and in- telligenCe of the citizens to go further and try to make permanent a position acquired by such doubtful methods. and it seems strange that our repre- sentatives at Hartford should lend their aid to such a scheme.
 Why didn't they introduce a bill to make the offices of selectmen, street commissioner. city attorney, town clerk and tax collector permanent, offices in which experience is worth much more to the citizens than the one which they raVored. IL Is costing much more to run the department than ever before and those in power have raised all salaries by a strictly party vote. Years ago w. w. Ives as cashier conducted all the office business, and did it vel for $1.200 a year. The salary has since been raised to $500 and a lady as sistant added at $500 per year. They have recently been increased to $1 800 for the cashier and $500 for an assist ant, a total of $2,600, as against the SO hA a.N-ff The superintendent expects not only to have the position steady but expects as they have everything their own way to have a substantial raise in his sa1-

Appropriations Made at Special City
 Meetind,

Mir. Editor: Last Thursday morning Alderman Dolbeare had letter in your paper making the statement that he had looked over the records and vas unable to find where the court of common council of 19131914 had any authority to spend the money they had received from the insurance company for the fire loss at the crusher or the money received for macadam repairs from the Connecti- cut company.
 I wish to ask him to look again and see that if in July or August of 1913 he will not find that 0 special city meeting was called for the purpose of appropriating sss4.04 received from the crusher insurance for the ordinary street expenses and S1327 received from the Connecticut company was appropriated and added to the maca- dam repair account.
