Big Circus Elephant
 Under Surgeons Knife

 Mighty knows me-" explained Mooney, land he would have been suspicious of anybody else that put a knife into him.
 Four ounces of fol per cent. so- lution of cocoaine was injected into the ungainly patient as he lay on his right side. The big beast raised his head as he felt the needle and gazed at his friend.
 Lie down, Mighty ordered Mooney, gently.
 The elephant sighed and laid his head back on the floor. At the slash of the scalpel he screamed, but made no further protest.

A volunteer force under the direction of FIrA Warden Warner had a hard fight to get the blaze un- der control and arrested it only when it was within a few feet of the Beard buildings. The chemical engine at the Center was called out and tho West Bedding company also stood ready to furnish their services had they been required

 defense in the lie cases brought last year by L. O. Peck and Mrs. Peck These suits are still awaiting trial.
 Before Judge Fowler in the New York Surrogate court few days ago Mrs Agnes MulHgan, wife of William c. MuNAgan. an attorney who was re- gently dfsbarred, pleaded in (opposi- ton to a motion urged by a surety company that she be committed to jail because she had failed to obey a court order directing her to pay $2O, ,OOO when she was removed as executrix on the estate of John Hartmann.
 Her removal was due to her ap- proval of e1orbitant charges made by her husband for legal services. She apreade,d and got the surety company to furnish a bond of $20,0OO that she would pay this sum in case the higher court decided against her. The de- ctsiOn was adverse to her and the company paid the $2e,000, afterwards finding that three mortgages which she had transferred to it as security for the bond were practically worth less. Mrs. M,ulligan, who Is herself an attorney, told the surrogate that she was preparing to depart with her six children for her summer place at Um- pawaug La.ke in Redding and that a jail sentence would be a great hard ship. She said that if there had been fraudulent misrepresentation to the surety company regarding the mort gages 1t was made by Mrs. Mcclure. their owner. and not by herself The surrogate reserved decision
 Receiving high prices for what they have to sell, with the exception of milk, and being compelled to pay high prices for grain and all other things they are called upon to buy self-inter- est naturally impels the farmers here as elsewhere to go to the extent of their capacity this season in the mat ter of growing foodstuffs especially the staples of corn, potatoes and oats. The appeals to do so made by govern ment ohctals agricultural boards and various other bodies are right and timely, but In view of the conditions pressing upon farmers the reouire- ments Of the situation with unprece- dented emphasis these appeals would seem to be hardly necessary. The farmer realizes that if he doesn't he will be badly off. Along with a, sense of the compelling force o6 the incen- tives, however, goes an unpleasant realization of the unusual difficulties hamperfing accomplishments These are in the order of their importance the scarcity of seed-potatoes espe- caaly-and the high price and low potash content of commercial fertiliz- CTS. Despite these obstacles the far mers of this locality are planning to let out a. link' in an effort to en- large this years production.
 At a New York hospital last Satur- day an operation was performed upon Noble F. Hoggson. one of this towns summer residents, to relieve serious
 coalitions which had developed in connection with digestive ailments.

 Service in the suits for a reduction of assessment valuation brought by fCommodore Luttgen and Laura E.. i Peck has not yet been made on the town officials here although the pa pers were filed in the superior court at Bridgeport last Monday. The former alleges in his action that the valuation of $s2.565 placed on his property by the board of relief is ex- cessive and disproportionately large as compared with the assessments of oth- CT property owners in Bedding.
