This Man is Feminist
Good Auto Roads

The Hazel Register is feminist good
roads. Hear it: Geo. Schlosser,
secretary of the WatertoWn Chamber
of Commerce, sends The Register
word that while the association IS
working hard i n the interest OF al
cross country road east and west,
they do not want the impression to
get Out that they are not intending to
do considerable. work on all other
good road projects, and are not hest
tating in calling on other communi-
Ties for cooperation. The Register
has known the genial secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce for better
than thirty years; he is a prominent
citizen of the state-a live wire and as
a booster he ranks high, but The
Register keenly regrets that, rom
this distance, it cannot endorse Mr..
Schlosser's good roads project inso-
far as it concerns the Hazel COM
munity. 1t seems to The Register
that the roads leading from this To-
caliy TO Watertown are too banked
good right now for the good of this
community. If the going was more
difficult the stores of the larger town
would not nave tne opportunity VI
supplying so many natives from this
locality with merchandise at prices
far higher than the local merchants
get for the same goods. The lure
of the big town and the attractive
display of goods in the big stores al
ready attract too many Hazel dollars
and a paved highway to the city neal
the lakes ought not to appeal to any
one interested in the welfare of this
~community.''

Story Of the Toad

In autumn the toad goes into the
ground. 1t sleeps there all winter.
In spring the warm sunshine drives
The. frost from the ground and when
the first thunder shower awakens
Mr.. Toad he and his friends dig
themselves out and come to the light.
They hop to the nearest pond or
stream where the eggs r laid. These
look like strings or ropes of clear
jelly holding many jet black beads.
These ropes are wound around the
dead weed stalks or grasses. of the
pond. II the weather is war; the
eggs hatch in a few days.
The little tadpole feeds for some
time upon the Jelly that the mother
put around each egg. When this is
gone he will starve If he does not get
other food. But he knows where to
find this food. It is the tiny plants
which grow on mud. stones and weed
stalks.
At first the little tadpole stays IN
der water all the time but later he
comes to the top of the water and
dives down again very quickly. The
older he grows the oftener he does
this. He does this because he is get
ting lungs and is getting ready to
breathe the air. for by and by he will
be a toad and must live On the land.
All this time the tadpole is grow.

II Concerns All

The man, woman or minor
who is not concerned as to the
outcome OF the present struggle
Is to be pitied and enlightened.
He or she Is really unconcerned
through ignorance. They have
failed entirely to grasp the true
inwardness of the situation con-
fronting us as o people.
Let us suppose that the history
OF our country were to end with
the present generation. Does
any one imagine that our states
men would be materially interest
ed in the settlement of the ques-
tions in dispute? Hardly.
Naturally, then, it is mainly
the future Of the country that Is
to be considered. What that
Future is to be will depend upon
Our Action Now.
. 1t is to the credit of the Amsri-
can people that they have al
ways had clear vision of the
duty of the present generation to
posterity. That vision was re-
sponsible for the Revolutionary
war. 1t was the stimulus in the
war of 1872. And when the
Mexican question assumed grave
proportions the same thought
was at the fore in the national
mind. Not so much the interest
of our posterity as that OF our
fellow man was the stimulus in
the brush with Spain. But
throughout her whole life this
country has never failed to place
the true interests of prosterity
before present ease and comfort.
What can be said, then, of the
young man or women who Is not
concerned over the outcome OF
this struggle? That they have
no concern for the best interests
of their own. Present ease and
comfort weighs more with them
than the future of their children,
or of the race in general.
No nation of people can ever
come into their own until present
can be subordinated to future. 7
No present is ever entirely what
it should or could be. By the
sacrifice of the present we stand
a chance of realizing on the
future. If all else is to be sub
ordinated to the present, there
is every possibility of there being
no future worthy of the name.

with a hot pen. AS we are nads up
of many different nationalities in this
country, it is emphatically advisable
that we show no preference for, or
recognize by making public or legal
holiday in any part of this country,
a national or religious holiday of any

they are native or foreign born.

mayor and city council writes: Does
he fairly represent the sentiment Of
the Irish OficehOlders? ?"
In order to hold political Office in
the state Of Illinois, if not born in
this country, one must become a nat
uralized citizen. Therefore, there
are no Irish officehOldeTs, but Amer
leans. l presume the questioner
means OfficehoIders of Irish birth or
extraction.
Another question of Charlotte c.
Rhodus is: do they owe their first
allegiance to this country or to
something else? Are they content
to obey the law of the land, or will
they, if the test should ever come,
give obedience to some foreign ale
giance?"
The above statement is hardly
politic.-J. O'Brien.

dumped into a foul, cold cell. The
detectives assigned on the case
punched him and twisted his deli
cate arms until they were made black
and blue. They tried to force him
into acknowledging a crime he never
committed.
The punch in his side produced an
abscess on his right lung, and, more
over, he became i'll. When he begged
for the assistance of a physician, he
was told a burglar requires no medi-
cal care. I procured lawyer for
him and he was freed of the false
charge Feb. e. In his unfit cell the
poor victim had contracted a bad
cold, and this developed into pneu-
monia and pleUrisy.
March II he died. About a week
before he died I went to see him at

SPIES INVEST ALL
 OF SCANDINAVIA.
Sweden in Particular 0Yerrun, Says Minister of Interior

Stockholm, June 5.-In reply to verbal tnterpellations in Parliament touching on the activities of spies in Sweden O. F. Won Sydow, minister of. the interior. said today that tho gov ernment was fully alive to the dangers threatening the country from this source. There Is no doubt the gov-s ernment is doing all in It's power to put Q stop to the espionage from which sweden. in common with other Scandinavian countries, has suffered greatly. All these lands arc infested with spies. Great importance is att tached to tn operations of these agents. numbers of whom are at work here.
 A typical example has just come to light with the expulsion from Sweden of man calling himself Joseph Klein. who passed as Russian pa- triot. He made the mistake of con- dding In men whom he believed to be Russian anarchists. They led him on to disclose his plans, which are said to have included among other things the murder of Sir George Buchanan, BFdtish ambassador to Russia, and the destruction of the presses of the Pet rogTad newspaper Rech. Klein ex- hibited to printers matrix for the printing of the following circular in
 .ras,ishmsn are dragging our tath- erland down into an abyss. The ac- cursed Englishmen are greedily drink ing the Russian peoples blood. Down with the Englishmen! With their gold they have driven the whole world in- to, opposing camps. Rulers! We have nov had enough robbery and murder of our peasants. Down with mean ingless bloodahedl We demand 1m- mediate peace.
 Russian paper money on which anarchistic inscriptions were written was discovered, Tho matter was brought to the attention of the po- Ice and Klein was arrested and ex- pelled. It was learned later that Klein, although he signed his name on the hotel register In Russian char acters and posed as Russian patri- ot In reality is an Austrian subject.
 An unfortunate feature of the ,sit- uation is that men of this stamp find plenty of material to work on among Russians returning to their country from Switzerland, America and Eng land. Many of these are patriots who are going back to assist their country in establishing stable govern ment and bringing the war to favor able termination. Many others, how ever. are anarchtstic agitators, ene- mics Of all law and order who do not hesitate to express themselves to that

effect as soon a they are safely away from the harbor.
 A well known American who has just arrived expressed the greatest surprise at the character and frank ness of the conversation of great number of Russians on board the ship who did not hesitate to say they were returning to Russia to take up the work of lnarchistic agitation where they were compelled to drop it years ago. Another prominent American who. has arrived here from London. said:
 There were Russiana in large numbers aboard our boat. Almost all of them talked nothing but German among themselves, and they were dis cussing the necessity of immediate peace at any. price, and were elabor- ating their plans for opposing the provisional Rovernmnt to the utmost. .
 Information has been received here from private sources indicating that some of the returned exiles. especial 'ly those from Switzerland. who went through Grmany, played a prominent part in the Kronstadt uprising. One of the Russian delegates to the Stock holm socialist conference will be Alex andra Kollontay, a woman agitator. who was expelled from Sweden in 1914 andshad to obtain the kings per- mission to attend the conference here.

WIRELESS STATION
 ERECTED IN MEXICO
Parts Shipped From Nv York,
 Authorities Learn

New York, June 5.-The shipment of quantities of wireless apparatus to ; ports in Mexico. with the object of erecting several wireless stations tt flash to Germany information gath cred by spies in this country, was dis covered yesterday by Police Capta,ns Tunney and federal oficials. who have in custody the three men ar rested on Sunday for maintaining a. secret mail service for German spies. A fourth man, German subject, was taken to police headquarters yesterday and questioned regarding the ship. -merts.
 It has been reported that at least one wireless station powerful enough to send messages to Germany Is in operation in Mexico. and federal ofii- cials believe this explains the fact that Germany received news of the movements of the American destroyer fiotilla immediately after their depar- ture from the United States. The be- lief that the men now under. arrest are part of the organization which has been advising Germany concern ing American naval movements was voted by Commissioner Hitchcock. in holding the prisoners under heavy pail. lie said: { .'After this country had dispatched fotilla of warships4 across the At lantic, the news of their departure and their point of destination was sent to Germany at least four days before the arrival of the ships on the other side, and believe that counsel for the government has 1t in mind that this may be part and parcel of the same iniquity.

SHEESLEY SHOWS
 ON UNIQUE TRIP
Unable. to Secure Railroad Service, They Come in Autos and Other
 Means of Transportation.

Means of Transportation.
 MT. sheesley, who is the owner of the ahows operating here this week. has won a decidedly interesting con- tention over the railroads of this To- cality. The agents of his shows were out and busy long ago when the snow covered the grounds upon which his show now rests, and the same prop erty was being made new in the dis tant sunny cline of Florida, and after selecting bright spots for the summer season applied to the monopolistic combination for transportation, pray CTS, sexhortation and threats were of no avail and 1t seemed that the ad-' vance force fl1ad wasted their energy and the Capt. Sheesley had been de- livered a foul blow. But he came back with a counter and landed upon the Jaw of the alleged monopoly with 8 knockout effect. There are twenty five cars in his train and as good as ever wheeled into the lime light, in cluding palatial private apartment Pullman which MT. Sheesley has for his own use. <
 From Elizabeth, N. J., the New York, New Haven and Hartford re- fused to haul the train at connection points, it is claimed Mr. Sheesley at once planned out campaign, re- fusing to cancel his territory and from Elizabeth transported his show by barge to Bridgeport and by auto truck to Waterbury and by truck and street service to New Britain. The same form will be used in the haul to Chic
 opee and there the train will be in waiting on the tracks of the Boston and Main and the show will proceed as usual. It was an unusual sight to see the big elephant being hauled through the streets in an auto truck. The Told girr' did not like the grind- ing of the machine but stood the or
 deal in really majestic manner
 seemingly knowing that she was beat ing q record. as 1t was no doubt tho first auto ride ever made by an ele- phant full grown and weighing 5000 pounds MT. Sheesley has in mind the idea of doing away with the rail- roads altogether and purchasing . full train of auto trucks in which in- stance he will be the Barnum of the present day showmen.
 The shows are all clean and well patroYized as the result of the free advertising received.
