 The ,destA Of pr. George clary last week has removed from the city one of the last of the genuine old time family doctors" Since the days of the civil war Dr. Clary had practiced medicine in New Britain. He be- !. longed to that rapidly disappearing old school who in addition to being. the family doctor was the family counselor and friend as we'll. There are few of these left now and will soon exfstaonly in rural novels and plays of that variety. Today pr. George F. Cooley stands as the last of the old school in New Britain. sAll honor and respect to this venefpble dean of physicians, the oldest prac- ticing physician in Connecticut.
 :. Another heavy storm and still workmsn employed by the New Brit ain Machine company are permitted to block the sidewalk on North Bigelow street, compelling hundreds of. working people going to and from their homes to make . detour into the slippery, muddy road to pass. Not long ago the. walk was blocked with plank. This week piles of bricks have obstructed the walk at times and at all timex the scaffolding used by masons obstructs the walk to such an extent that passing Is dificult. Whats the matter with the city de- partment having the matter of side- walk obstEuction in charge?

 Many people have become confused about the changes in the fire depart ment fand think that the oft used safety board term of "permanent'' means the department will be put on basis like that of Hartford, Now Ha- ven or New York.

 The episode at the Screw Shop this week should inform the safety board of at least one thing that Policeman Wagner does and does we'll.

WOULD DANISH THE TRAMP
Police Chiefs and State Defense coun-
Gil Discuss "Bo" Problem at
a Conference.

Madison--1f you are tramp, keep
away from Wisconsin. If you have
been feeding tramps, stop this kind
hearted practice and tell them to go
go work.
These two orders went out from the
State Council of Defense after a con-
Ference which was attended by chiefs
of police of fourteen principal cities,
at which the tramp problem was dis
cussed. It was realized that this prob
lem is an old one, unsolved after
many experiments have been tried.
but, if there is way, Wisconsin is go
ing to turn tramps into workers and
keep those who will not work outside
the borders of the state. A state farm
is suggested.
Among police beads who attended
the conference were Chiefs John T.

cine, Bowling of Oshkosh, McKinnon
of Superior, Hawley of Green Bay,

MOBILIZATION is DEFERRED
General HoIway Gives Lack of Equip
ment as Chief REASONABLY Be
Called Out July 1.

Madison - Mobilization of the Wis
consin National guard, scheduled for
June Is, has been Indefinitely post
poned, Adjt.-Gen. Holway has an
nounced. Lack of equipment is the
reason given by Gen. Holway for the
postponement.
The decision postponing the mobil-
izing of the guard at Camp Douglas
from the date set was reached by
Holway on receipt of telegram from
the war department that it was I'M
able to furnish requested equipment
but would do SO as soon as the manu-
facturers could turn it out. Holway
lacks rifles and tents. He believes it
possible that the government may be
able to furnish the supplies in time
to mobilize by July /.
At present there are about $4,000
in the guard. This includes the Third
regiment now in federal service.
There are about 10000 to be assem-
bled at the mobilization point. To
house these guardsmen Holway has
about 200 tents, which will take care
of only 1000 men at most. He has
5000 rifles with which to arm the H.
600 guardsmen.

SENATE VOTES To
HOLD STATE FAIR
UPPER HOUSE INDICATES 1T
WILL NOT FAVOR SUSPEN-
SION DURING WAR.
BRAY AMEND MENT is KILLED
Senator Urges Conserving All OF
States Resources During Pres
ent Crisis - Appropriation for
Unpaid Bills.

Madison-There will be no abandon
ment Of the state fair at Milwaukee
during war times The amendment
proposed by Senator William Bray to
the state fair appropriation bill for the
suspension of the state fair during the
war was rejected by the senate by a
vote of Is to Z.
The debate over the bill consisted
OF a speech by Senator Bray in which
he detailed the necessity of conserv-
ing all of the states resources during
the war.
The amendment was opposed by
Senators Hanson and Everett. Sena-
tor Hanson said that it had been a
policy of France and England at the
beginning of the war to suspend &C
tivities of this character and that it
had been found necessary to restore
them for the benefit of the people.
After the rejection of the Bray
amendment, the bill was ordered en-
crossed by viva voce vote This bill
carries an appropriation of $125,000
annually for the benefit of the fair.
An appropriation of $1,000 is made for
the building of fences and also an ap-
preparation for the payment of unpaid
bills remaining from the last fair.

ACREAGE IN ALL
CROPS INCREASED
AGRICULTURAL REPORT SHOWS
LARGE AREA OF NEW LAND
UNDER CULTIVATION.
SPRING CONDITION is LOWER
General Backwardness in All Parts of
the State Is Blamed to Late
Season, Combined With
Drought in Sections.

Misunderstanding to the joint re-
port of the Wisconsin department Of
agriculture and the United States de-
partment of agriculture, issued at
Madison, the farmers of Wisconsin
have increased the acreage of all
spring sown crops.
The acreage of spring wheat has
been increased fully 33 per cent over
last year, making a total increase of
over $4,000 acres. In many counties
the acreage has. been more than dou-
bled Thousands of acres of old pas
ture land and old meadows have been
plowed up and utilized for crops. The
acreage of oats, it is estimated, has
been increased about 1 per cent, or a
total of over $4,000 acres. The acres
of barley, 100000 acres of which were
harvested last year, has been increas-
ed about 3 per cent, or over $4,000
acres.
The condition of all spring sown
crops is somewhat lower than year
ago, due to the cold, backward spring,
drought. Fruits of all kinds are bios
soming much later than usual. Con-
ditions on the whole, however, are
promising 1t is reported that in some
sections on the heavier soils it has
been necessary to replant corn be-
cause of failure to terminate due to
cold weather.

MANY STUDENTS ELIGIBLE
About 1,4oo of the $500 Registered at
the University of Wisconsin
Available for Draft.

Madison - About 1,400 students at
the University of Wisconsin are eli
gible for CONSUMPTION, according to es-
Inmates made from reliable statistics
compiled by the war committee of the
faculty.
OF this number, about 1856 will prob
ably be taken on the first draft, if the
first 100000 takes 1874 per cent of the
eligible young men of the country, as
has been estimated.
About $50, however, have already
Joined the army or navy, are training
to receive commissions as company
officers, or have enlisted in other mil
tary work.
The estimate of tie number availa-
bic for the draft is based on the fol-
lowing figures: OF the $500 male
students registered in the university
this year, 1925 are under 81 years of
age, 666 men are estimated to be
physically unfit, according to the ex-
perience of the university clinic, and
some forty are aliens. This leaves a
total of approximately 1896 eligible
men.
The CONSUMPTION percentage of 1874
is based on the estimate derived from
the census of 1910, of the number of
men in the country between the ages
of 81 and 81 who are eligible to draft
and from whom 100000 are to be Sc
Iected for the first army.

KILL HARD LIQUOR MEASURE
Bill Favored by Governor Phillip De-
feated in Upper House by
Vote of 10 TO IL.

Madison-The senate, by vote of
10 to II, killed Gov. Philips anti
hard liquor bill. This was the last big
liquor bill pending before the legisla-
ture at this session.
Without debate, the senate killed
the Bennett amendment to decrease
the percentages of alcoholic contents
in wines from 20 per cent to 10 per
per cent and in beers from 4 per cent
to per cent, and changing the date
on which the act was to go into effect
from July 1, 1913 to July 1, 1917.
The amendment was adopted by a
viva voce vote Senator Perry then
moved that the bill be indefinitely
postponed, and the motion prevailed
by vote of 10 to IL.
Those who voted for the motion
were: Albers, Anderson, Arnold, Bar
wig, Baxter, Bentley, Bray, Burke.
Clark, Cunningham, Everett, Hanson,
Jennings, Mulberger, Perry, Reinholdt,
Rollmann, Schultz and Stevens.
Those who voted against the motion
were: Bennett, Huber, Kuckok, Potts,
FulleHs hO0tu0, OkOSMO, OIduucAlAoy
er, Whitman, Wilcox, Wilkinson and
Witter.
Senator Hanson moved that the
vote be reconsidered and said that he
hoped the motion would not prevail,
as 1t was desired to effectively kill the
bill beyond all possibility of it's being
resurrected. His motion to reconsider
the vote was lost by viva voce vote.

grow like weeds. The planting was
exceptionally large, much new acre
age being given to potatoes and corn
and only early frosts can blight the

ers to get necessary labor and the
bankers have supplied funds to enable
all to get seeds and carry them

LOCAL STUDENTS WIN HoNoRs'
Four of Five Successful Applicants
for Pharmacy Licenses From
+ Charleston Medical College.

|, Out of the five successful appi-
cants in the examination held by the
State Board of Pharmaceutical Ex-
aminers at Columbia yesterday, four
were members of the senior pharma-
cy class at the Medical College of
the State of South Carolina. The
four were as follows: a.. o. Speed,
J. L. Griffin, G. B. AcDufie and
Clarence Oakman Jr. q. o. Speed
stood first among the applicants.
The showing of the students is
gratifying to the friends of the col
lege. There were fifteen applicants
for license to practice pharmacy, of
whom only five passed the examina-
ton that they were subjected to.
This will be the last year in which
pharmaceutical applicants who are
not graduates of reputable schools
of pharmacy may 60 before the State
board. A diploma from such an in
stitution will be a prerequisite for
examination by the State board, the
statute to this effect having passed
the Legislature at the last session.
