Monday was the day set apart for
the distribution of trees to the boys
and girls on the tract by R. f. Shep-
herd. and the event proved a very
successful one in every respect and
Mr. Shepherd points to it as the most
interesting day he has experienced
on the tract, so pleased is he with
the interest the boys and girls on the
tract took In his offer to provide
them with trees. something over
1000 trees were distributed, and as
each recipient has promised to plant
and care for the trees it will only be
short time until they can bask in
the shade of them. The trees were
of various varieties, among which
were a large collection of very choice
ones, and the thanks OF the older citi-
zens of the tract as we'll as the chill
dren are due Mr.. Shepherd for his
liberality. Other portions of the
tract will fare equally as we'll as this
section as Mr.. Shepherd will also
distribute trees to the children on the
first. segregation, as we'll as Wendell
and Bliss.

LORD READING,
CHIEF JUSTICE

Lord Reading, Lord Chief Justice
of Great Britain, who recently came
to America on a secret mission, and
whose presence was only. noted by
brief mention in the newspapers, will
tomorrow celebrate his fifty-seventh
birthday. Until his elevation to the
peerage on Jan. 1, 1914, he was
known as Sir Rufus Isaacs. He first
became an International figure in
1910. when he entered the Asquith
cabinet as Attorney General, a posi-
ton he held until he was elevated to
the bench as Lord Chief Justice Lord
Reading is of Jewish parentage, and
has had a remarkable career. When
he was a boy he ran away from home
and made a trip to South America as
a common seaman. After a few
months of this hard life he was ready
and willing to return to the home of
his father, a substantial merchant of
London. His parents wanted him to
enter the university, but he had little
liking for study, and became a brok-
er. AS member of the London Stock
Exchange he was a complete failure
and at twenty six he found himself
facing complete ruin. He might have
gone. from bad tolworse If he had not
met at this period Miss Alice Edith
Cohen, the daughter of a London
merchant. He fell in love with her,

AMERICA PLANS
TO MAKE USE OF
NEUTRAL BOATS
To Take Over Ships Either
Under Agreement or by
Communicating.

Washington, Oct. 9-The Exports
erday, had decided not to grant a Ii
cense for the release of the Dutch
ship Nieuw Amsterdam, now In an
Atlantic port loaded with foods for the
Committee for the Relief of Belgium,
as no. assurances had been given that
the vessels would return to the juris-
diction of the United States.
Negotiations have. been going on
for several days, but the Administra-
tive Board has remained firm in the
position taken, and it is reported on
excellent authority that the same
policy will apply to all of the neutral
ships, aggreggting more than 400, 900
tons, which are now tied up in Ameri-
can ports.
This means that the neutral ton
mage, even though it is not bound for
neutral countries contiguous to Ger
many, must meet the conditions Of the
government that it will not seek to
disappear if licenses are to be
issued.
The position taken is believed here
to indicate that the United States is
determined to obtain use of the neu-
trail tonnage either by voluntary

the powers of commander.
New York, Oct 9.-In local ship
ping circles it was said yesterday that
if Americas allies were badly in need
of supplies through lack of tonnage
the United States government prob
ably would seQuester Dutch steam
ships in American ports for the pc
Rod Of the war and afterward pay
them whatever sum a court awarded.
There are about go ships in New
York barbor under the Netherlands
flag, all of which have large cargoes
If grain. flour, and other Soodstuffs in
their holds The Dutch steamship
companies in HOLLAND do not wish to
charter the vessels to the United
States government because they say
the tonnage is needed to take food
stuffs to Holland.
Steamships would be taken from
the coastwise trade on Oct. Is, 1t was
said here, and transferred to the At
'antic trade between the United States
and England and France as they were
required The freighters will be util-
lied first, and the passenger boats will
De allowed to remain on this side as
: 'ong as possible.
The. coastwise freight service to
Mobile, Charleston, Tampa and other
ports will be maintained, according to
local marine men, by Norwegian,
Swedish, Danish and other neutral
vessels which will be chartered by the
government.
Shipping men in. New York said
yesterday that the reduction from
6 IL to 5 per cent. in the mafine in
surance rates, which was announced
/ in Washington on Saturday, would
make little difference to American
owners, because the government was
Egoing to take over all the America n
coastwise ships. Under the new con-
ditions the government. would follow
the example of the international Mer
camille Marine company, it was said
and do the greater part of the. insur-
ing on the ships by placing the money
lin a reserve fund that would other
wise be paid over to insurance COM
lpanies in premiums.

SHERIFF HOWELL TO
BE CONTENDER FOR
CITY CLERK OFFICE

One of the contenders for the nom
ination of city clerk on the Demo-
cratic ticket is City Sheriff Alexander
Howell who was out two years ago as
a candidate for the Citizens League.
and who, if. nominated, would con-
troll the Citizens League votes.
As one citizen has put it. cit is
about time that the public of Bridge
port awaken to the ract that they
had a man in public work doing
something without any remuneration.
1 have followed Mr.. Howeli's work in
his protection of animals, for the Aniz
NAL Rescue, League, and to him all
credit is due. for the success of the
work accomplished for the protec-
ton of the dumb beasts, for which
he receives no pay.
Although every phase of cruelty to
animals is a, violation of the state
/ statutes and should be looked after
by the police department. Howell is
a Democrat, but of the Independent
| variety, a man who has. Demonstrated
| that he is not to be. bossed and one
who has a great many friends in all
walks of life"
He comes from the Eighth district.

PROMOTE HEALTH
OF LITTLE ONES
They Are Fed, Washed and
Given Healthful Exercises
by Nurses.
LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
TO OBTAIN FUNDS
Children Provided With Play
Aprons and Blouses- to
Save Clothes.

Bridgeport's Day Nurseries are re-
markable for the training they give
the little folks as well as for the
physical care the youngsters receive.
If you were a mother who worked in
the factory, wouldn't you like to know
that your little one was cared for like
this?
AS early as $50 some of the chill
dren are brought by their mothers,
who stop there on their way to work.
One of the rulings Of the Day Muir
series is that the children arrive quite
clean, which is one of the good starts
they have. Then they are ready for
the morning kindergarten lesson,
which includes a little religious train
ing of the non-sectarian kind. To this
class the children in the neighborhood
are invited, upon the payment of five
cents a day, and number of them
are now receiving this instruction.
There's a tempting sand pile in the
yard, a trusty swing, and plenty OF
space for the children to play in, and
they spend as much time as possible
out in the fresh air. They are care
fully guarded from harm, and always
surrounding them is the motherly in
|terest of Miss Megia, the superintend-
ent.
At noon they form, a line for lun-
cheon, and march into the bright din
ing room in quite a dignifed fashion
Here, a nourishing luncheon is served

DR.. C. C. GODFREY
ASKS PUBLIC AID
THE SILVER FUND
Bridgeport, Conn;
October s, A1917.

TO the Editor of The Farmer
Dear Sir: The Silver Thin1ble Fund
which is at present being raised by
the citizens of Bridgeport, is to be
used for the relief of the wounded
and incapacitated soldiers who will in
large numbers be returned to Ameri-
can ports as soon as. they are able to
stand the voyage across the ocean. 1t
is estimated that 500, 900 beds will be
needed to care for these men at home
and abroad; and the probabilities are
that soon after the spring campaign
opens, our hospitals, many of our
public buildings and private homes
will be needed to care for them dur
ing their sconvalescence. This means
a drastic demand upon our citizens,
which must he met if the United
States is to- issue successfully from
the war. 1t surpasses in importance
every civil consideration.
*At present, it seems that our great
est need will be for beds and bedding,
land the provision of books and train
ing for the blind. -
1T is the earnest wish of all con-
nected with the raising of this fund
that the response may be most gen
erous one. The gift of articles which
are of no special use to their owners
but which have a monetary value
will greatly aid this cause without en-
failing any great personal sacrifice on
the part of the givers.
Very truly yours,
'CHAS. C. GODFREY, M: D."

FRENCH SOLDIERS WILL
INVOKE THE, AID OF
ST. DENIS TO-DAY

French soldiers and citizens who
cling TO the religion of their ancestors
will appeal today for the interview
ton of the good st. Denis. This is
the festival of the saint and martyr
who has been adopted by the French
as their patron, in the same manner
as the English have chosen ST. George
and the Irish st. Patrick. St. Denis
is associated with warfare and bloody
deeds. and in the middle ages his
name was the battle cry of the
Frepch- troops. His Intervention was
sought before every battle. and this
custom is still followed by many
pious peasants of today
ST.. Denis or Dionysius was the first
bishop of Paris, and the most inf1u-
entail Of all missionaries who during
the third century carried the gospel
Of Christianity into heather Gaul. He
converted thousands, but the pagan
party was still powerful, and the
good missionary was tortured to
make q Partisan holiday. According
to tradition, he was first thrown into
q den Of wild beasts, but they did not
harr& him. Afiery furnace was next

Sometimes 1t is meat loaf with pota-
toes and thick gravy, and chocolate

Always it is nourishing, homemade
and nicely served.

chap is averse to this; he's been COM

knows not the benefit of the after

his luncheon pust now by the antici-
patton OF the dreaded nap; time much
wasted, in his opinion. So he sobs
into his soup and exhibits the usual
childish objections to kindly discipline.
He's learning, though, and a. week of
regular habits such as these has done
much for his. appearance and his be-
havior.
