 Want Milk Reports Published.
 The petition to the common council on the subject of having greater pub licity given to milk reports, as made up from inspections in this city, was being circulated for signatures Thurs day. A number of signatures were ob- tained.
 While not objecting to any legitimate means of improving the milk supply, and the publishing of results of inSpec- ton may prove an aid, there are those in the city, including some of the milk producers, who calm that they are now doing the best they can toward the end of having the milk they sell as pure IS possible. What they fear is over-regulation and the surrounding of the milk producing business with so many requirements that it will be un- able much longer to produce milk un- less there is a substantial increase in the price paid them for the commod- ity.

The very same law which holds them all in gen eral allegiance to their masters by it's very immutability and unchangea- bleness compels them to a "wobbling" in minor degree when they happen to come within reach of each others lesser influence.
 All their ''wobbling." however doesn't ever throw any one of them wholly off the track.

MISS FILINGS REPORT
To be Presented at Meeting of State
 Federation.

| | F. Filling will make a report on edu- cation in Connecticut at the annual convention of the State Federation of | Woman's clubs in Bridgeport today. i The following, relative to rural | schools, is an extract from Miss Pill 1 ing's report:
 Improvement Of Rural Schools. Many of the clubs of the state have done definite work in this direction. The Madison Woman's club has been Teacher Association, and has placed fine bird chart in one or the pri- mary rooms.
 The Washington woman's club has been most closely associated with the schools ever since it's organization. Perhaps they can no longer be said to have rural schools they have a centralized school housed in a good
 brick building. The club is trying to arrange for school lunches and hope to accomplish it next year. There is a possibility of providing apparatus for a playgI ound.
 The New London Womans club has given picture to one of the rural schools
 The Danielson Art club gave up it's first meeting of the year to a discus sion of the rural schools. The discus sion was especially interesting as one of the participants is hersef f a splen- did product of the rural school of a generation ago.
 Last year mado an appeal TOT the rural school. Today I bring you quite as urgent appeal from Mrs Barry, the chairman of rural schools committee of the National Federation. 4 bulle- tin dated January 29, 1917, sent to the federated clubs, says in part: The United States Bureau of Educa- tion has inaugurated a nationwide campaign for the betterment of rural schools. Every agency of state and nation is called on to be organized and put in motion for the purpose of giving the rural schools a square deal"
 Through the press, Dr. P. P. Clax- ton, commissioner of education and Secretary Lane of the department of the interior, have made an urgent ap- peal to the people of the entire coun- try to help in the campaign
 I had hoped to be able to present to you at this meeting something of a survey of the state that We misht have clearly before us the status of the rural schools of Connecticut. but the laborers have been too few fer the task. I am sure the coming var we are going to do better for I shall ask for volunteers who will be will ing to do the work in their own inn mediate neighborhood.

And so our seasons "wobbIe." They seldom follow the same identic lines of progress. They are one thing this year; and were something else. last year; and will. doubtless. be still diff ferent next year. It is curious that astronomers know so much more about the conditions which establish the or bits of the planets than we do about the conditions which affect our wealth CT, that they can predict and account for planetary "wobblings." while we cannot predict or account for weather and sea sonable "wobblings"
 I have no doubt that. when the time comes, some epoch making discovery in the fields of natural law will enable us to understand weather freakishness as clearly as astronomers now under Faries in her orbitai firtinEs around Ole Marsha rth. When that time comes and that discovery is made. we shall know why it rains all one May. and doesn't rain half enough another May. We shall. also. get some sort Of idea about what we are to expect in the way of weather. before we get 1t.
 In the meantime we've dot to keep on as at present taking the weather are sent We are Coing to continue to be rained on whether we be just or unjust. and whether we want to be wet or don't want to be.
 And all we can do. practically speak ing, is 10 cultivate our patience when we can't cultivate anything else.
 One of the most wonderfully i'm pressive thoughts in the universe to me is that of the Patience of God.

MILITARY CENSUS RETURNS
First Card Received by Town Clerk
 FIagg From Worcester.

Town Clerk David F1agg received Thursday the first of the military cen sus returns to be made by a Putnam man. The card was filled out in Worcester by Harry L. Hopkins, g, whose home is in this city. MT. Hop kins is employed by the Persons Au- tomatic Machine company in Wor- cester and his address in that city is FPS Main street.
 The receipt of the card was some thing of a surprise to MT. Flagg. No instructions to receive military census returns before June have been re- ceived herei neither have cards Tor filing the data required been receiv- ed.
 Evidently the taking of returns is underway in the Massachusetts city, however, for the card is on the official form that is to be used and all about it is in regular form.
 Plans for taking the census here and making it complete are being worked out by First Selectman C. F. Pierce. It was stated Thursday afternoon that the actual work of the enroliments will be Whitman aDnielson, City and Leon T. Wilson.
 It was stated Thursday afternoon that the assistance of mill men and other employers of labor will be this city complete.
 The mill men will be asked to let men who are called upon to register out from work for a brief period some time during the day. Some mills will be asked it is said to let thos of their employees who are to register out at certain hour, from another mill at another hour etc By this means steady flow of men will be kept coming to the place of registration which will be at the municipal building on Church street. and will prevent un- usual rushes to register at the noon hour and in the evening. The hours for registration will be from a. m. to p. m.

No two seasons are ever exactly alike. No two human faces ever are. Yet, in every human countenance. the eyes and the nose and the mouth and the chin and the checks almost inva- riably come in the same general po- sitions ard the same relations to each other. While they are so unlike in minor details that we have no diff1- culty in recognizing individuals apart. the general arrangement is always the same. No face is all nose or all mouth: nor are cheeks ever wholly missing.
 So with seasons Today's weather may be fifty degrees of cold and 'steep degrees of humidity off as compared with the record of temDerature and dampness a year ago today. Nay, the weather of the whole month may very likely be markedly different from that of the same whole month A, year ago
 Put the chances are that. when the whole season has been lived through and it's average of weather from April 10 November been computed. the lines of temperature and other seasonal con ditions will be found to have fallen very nearly parallel with those of last season and the season before that, and ninety-nine out of every hundred past seasons.

i On a bench warrant issued in the superior court for Hampden County, Mass, a woman known as Bella Pesce, as named in the warrant, was taken | into custody at local hotel early Thursday morning and turned over to partment of the the state of Massa- : chusetts and taken to Springfield, where she is to face a charge of haV- ing conducted disorderly house. The woman arrived here late We'd nesday night with a younger woman and registered as Mrs. Smith. The younger woman registered as Anna Smith.
 After her arrival she got into com
 munication, by telephone, with party
 in Woonsocket, where Detective Man
 ming had been on the lookout for her.
 and this fact became known to the of
 ficer, who, having located her here
 hired a machine and hurried to this city arriving here in the early hours of Thursday.
 Sergeant Julius Cordier accomp- anied Detective Manning to take Mrs. Pesce into custody. The woman made no objection to going back to Spring field with the officer and eventually bargained with the chauffeur that had brought Detective Manning here to drive her and the officer and Miss Smith to Springfield, expressing her preference to going that way instead of on the train. From a fine fat roll she paid the s25 asked by the chauffeur to make the trip.
 After the party had left a man ar rived in town, sought out Captain Ry- an and asked what had become of the woman. He was informed that the party had left for Springfield. There upon he made the statement that he was the womans husband.

"In the Iona run, things come out about so." Uncle Ike used to say.
 One star differeth from another in glory and no two springs are quite alike in the degree of their mea sures.
 But we who gaze upwards of sum mer night into the iTnmeasurable dis tances of a blue infinity see, neverthe- less the same stars and the same con- StelIations: the same nebulous hazes far out beyond the limits of clear vii sion. and the same meteoric flashes stabbing the nearer darkness. that were seen in these same latit'sdes when Chaldean shepherds watching their hoclIs by night first began to mo- tice the heavenly bodies.
 Similarly, one spring Is dry ard hot, another is sour wet. and cold; one srmrner is marked by parchinR drouths. and one r1 a recurrence of destructive cloud bursts and fresh cts: one fal by clear and drying weather for harvesting advantage and one by continuous showers to mildew or rot the shocked and stocked crops. But when the general average Is made ur the 'isHtherms" and the "isobars'' will generally be found to follow strik- irgly similar courses and merge into a strikingly like contour.

Tn solid and sober truth. there Is no such assurance upon which any one, as an individual, may base certain ex- pectation. There have been seasons which remained cold and unproductive all through. The famous summer of 1916. which was written up' many times last year, is an example. Snow failures so complete in some sections as to bring their residents perilously near to the verge of actual famine: credible records seem to establish that this was the local character of that
 But it was an exception. So ex- ceptio1al that it has passed into his tory as "the" cold summer. If there had been others it would have been simply "a' cold summer among the rest.
 As a rule. there is an average which each season comes close to maintain ing.
