The agricultural sub-station at Het-
finger doesn't stand well with North
Dakota executives. A deficit of near
ly $4,000 exists in connection with
this establishment, consisting of mo-
neys due merchants, officials and 9TH
ers. An appropriation was made by
the Thirteenth assembly to meet this
deficit and Governor Hanna promptly
vetoed the same. The Fifteenth as
sembly appropriated $4,000, calling
specific attention in the bill to Gov
ernor Hanna's veto, perhaps with an
idea that Governor Frazier might re-
gard as good anything which met with
his predecessors disapproval. If this
was the idea, it failed to work, as the
governor yesterday ruthlessly slash
cd Hettinger's hopes once again.
Nor will there be an immigration

priated all of $1,000 for the encourage
ment of immigration, and the COVER
nor vetoed it.

DIR. VALERA PARKER SPEAKS
Hawthorne and Cranford Clubs Listen
 to Eloquent Address.

By invitation of the Hawthorne Club, the members of the Cranfors Club met with the former, at Miss z. w. Adams last Thursday afternoon, bo listen to pr. Valeria Parker, who rep resented the Connecticut society of So- cial Hygiene.
 Mrs. Parker is most convincing ard interesting speaker and her presenta- tion of her subject; the project of State Farm Colony for Women, greatly impressed those who were privileged Co listen to her.
 Her descriptions of prison conditions right here in our own state, told with out any attempt at exaggeration, but as a statement of actual facts, produced deep impression and showed the inn portance and the necessity that a better condition should be brought about through some legislative action. The colony plan which has been tried sue cessfully in BedfortT, Is the plan which is under consideration. The bill as it is worded in terms concise and sc curate, is said to be the best ever pre- sented by any state.
 UT. T l6tb buI6 IIdb lt0 UlAt would pass unanimously until it came to the committee on appropriations Two years ago the bill called for only $20, 900; but because of the economic conditions it was turned down, but tho committee passed an appropriation fou $42, ,000, for the expense of revising the statutes. I've felt" said Dr. Parker very quietly, "as though it were better to use the money toward saving human life, preventing disease and lessening crime, and to let the statutes puzzle the lawyers a while longer"
 Dr. Parker was asked whether 6 petition sent to our Senator, requesting that he use his influence to see that the bill passed the committee on approppi- tions, would help. "Most certainly" was the reply, land coming from q town with the political significance of North Canaan, it would have addi- tional weight r
 The following resolution was then drawn up and signed by everyone of the 36 ladies present.
 "We, the undersigned residents os North Canaan, hereby signify om hearty approval and endorsement of the bill now before the legislature, for the building of & Reformatory for delinquent women of Connecticut.
 The importance of the Red Gross work was presented and those preseRs voted thst the two Clubs represented should be responsible for canvas of the town to secure new members of She American Red Cross.
 Mrs. H. B. Ives was appointed to represent the Hawthorne Club, witt Mrs. k. T. Rowe of the Cranford Club. as a committee to make plans to carry out the canvas.

A SIGN OF SPRING.

Although the landscape does not look it, nor the mercury tell it, it's sure sign of spring when Rev. Crichton be- gins to see snakes. This he did last Friday, and to save the poor things life he brought the cute little squirmer home and gave it a nice bed in an open shed, hoping the fresh air treatment would put new life into its semi active anatomy. All went we'll as its respira. tion and pulse gradually returned to normal in its new home, until Tuesday night, when the thermometer began playing peekaboo at its new playmate through the bunghole of its glass house, aud the poor snake hasn't been right since.

ICE TOO THICK.

The ice is too thick to cut, according to Roxbury correspondent, who says that the Mutual Creamery and Milk Go started to harvest ice from the Shepaug river at Roxbury few days ago and found it 37 inches. AS cake of that thickness and the usual other would be too heavy to be handled by ordinary means the ice cutters turned for their supply to ponds where the ice was only IS inches thick.

Adequate Incomes Safe
guard Lives of Children

The chance of life Of baby grows
appallingly tess as the fathers earn.
ings grow smaller. This Is shown in
the results of the investigations OF the
childrcn's bureau. made public In It's
NTH annual report.
The bureaus studies OF infant NOR
tality were made among 10000 babies in
eight American cities-Johnstown Pa;
Montclair, n. j.; Manchester. n. H.;
Brockton, Mass: Saginaw. Mich; New
Bedford. Mass; Waterbury, Conn. and
Akron, Ohio. One-fourth OF all the
fathers earned less than $3.50 a year; I'm
these families every sixth baby died.
Only about one-eighth OF the fathers
earned $l.050 or more: of their babies
only one in sixteen died The rise of
prices and the disorganization Of social
and Industrial life with the war ac-
centuate the Importance. of this per
sistent relation of income TO infant NOR
tality.
These studies show that to provide
mothers' care and decent home condi.
tions, the fathers must have adequate
income. In Manchester n. H., nearly
three-fourths of the mothers whose hus.
bands earned less than $3.50 year
were gainfully employed; only about a
tenth when the husbands wage was
81 ,050 or over. The babies of mothers
who went out to work died at more
than twice the rate of more fortunate
children.
