In spite Of all the pressure which
the manufacturers Of farm machin-
cry have been able TO bring upon
the war board. they have not Sc
cured a preference for the mate
rails used in the manufacture Of
agricultural implements. II is,
therefore, all the more imperative
that whatever implements are now
in use should he cared for and re-
pairs made promptly. Implem ant
dealers should be charged with the
duty Of making a survey in every
community 10 see that every ma
chine which can be put into use be
overhauled. and put into best work
ing order.
The deplorable act Of leaving
farm machinery exposed TO the
winter is almost reasonable. The

There is nothing wrong with Fife or

be grown all varieties should be
subservient TO Marquis.
In Michigan. Red Rock wheat,
which has been bred by selection,
should be the state variety
There are too many varieties Of

highly important that these states

a premium In all probability
Fultz should be the prevailing wheat
in that territory The same is true
Of every other wheat growing sec

Little or no work Is being done
toward recleaning seed wheat. Wheat
contains its own enemies and the
reason why wheat apparently
runs out" is because il has not
been cleaned. and its enemies in the
way OF weed seeds and sick kernels
have gained the upper hand Wheat

Here to Attend Congress Of

Held in Chicago.
HIGH PRAISE FOR THE
WORK DONE IN FRANCE
Especial Mention Of Pres
byterian and Harvard Uits
By Colonel Bruce.

An Atlantic Port, May 81
A British medical mission, re-
presenting the British medical
society, arrived here today to
attend the American congress
of medical societies to be held
in Chicago on June 10.
The members include Sir James
Mackenzie, Sir Arbuthnot Lane and
Col Herbert A Bruce, consulting sur
geon Of the British army in France.
Col Bruce said that a British hos
pital stated and operated by the
Presbyterian unit in New York, lln-
der Major william Darrach as direc-
tor, had established a reputation as
zone of the very best in France"
''I am also able to speak from per-
Sonal knowledge" he continued, ''of
the splendid work done by the hospi-
tails which your government so gener-
ously and promptly sent to our aid at
the request of Mr. Balfour last year.
They consist of the Lakeside unit
with such famous surgeons as Major
George Grille and Major Lower, the
philadelphia unit with Majors Hart
and John Gibbons, the Harvard unit
with Major Harvey Gushing, the st.
Louis unit with Major Murphy, the
Chicago unit with Major Beasley.
IT should also mention another Hair
ward unit sent over to help Britain at
the beginning of the war with Lieut.
Col. Hugh Cabot in charge of sur
gerry"

MAY CALL men
OF Il TO FILL
June "a QUOTA

1t is possible that a number of the
young men who will register on June
for military service will be called
for service in a few weeks. An Off
cial announcement made this morn
ing calls for 100000 men on June "a,
and with the number of available
men in Glass la held by many of
the local boards, it is probable that
the clerks will work overtime in get
ting the new men ready for service.
Unofficially it was stated here 1t
was not thought the young men of 21
would be ready for service before fall.
but with the call for June "a, it is
likely the 81 year old men will be
given a chance to get into action
quick. Should it be necessary to call
the new men at once the clerks in
the various draft boards will have to
work day and night to bring this
about. 1t is estimated that about
2,S0O men will register on June and
the number available in Glass Ia is
but a few hundred.

RECEIVED MANY
MESSAGES FROM
FOREIGN LANDS
Trespasser Arrested By
Fairfield Sheriff Found
to be Demented.
LIVED IN TENT
MADE OF BOUGHS
Had Been Working on Plan
to Send Messages With
out Aid of Apparatus.

John Harvey, 27, was arrested yes
terday by Sheriff W. H. Gould, of
Fairfield on the technical charge of
trespassing on the grounds of the
Bridgeport Hydraulic Co. near the
Samp Mortar reservoir and brought
him to Bridgeport for investigation
as he gave his home address as SS
Courtland street.
According to the caretaker of the
Hydraulic Company's grounds, Har-
vey has been living in the woods for
more than week in a tent which he
constructed from boughs of trees and
pieces of canvas. He has sailed out
at nighttime on begging excursions
among the residents of the district.
When his peculiar actions were re-
ported to Sheriff Gould the latter Of
fetal thought at first that tbs man
was the soldier who jumped off a
train near here more than a week
ago and is being sought by the au-
thorities all over the country as a
deserter from the United States army.
Upon locating Harvey, it was
found that he was suffering from
halucinations and insisted that he was
receiving wireless messages through
the air from all parts of the world.
When he was searched he had
crudely drawn plans and manuscripts
which the police officials failed to
decipher, but which were declared
by both Drs. Francis Carroll and ].
F. Keegan of the Emergency hos
4f
mentally deranged.
Harvey is positive that he receives
messages from China, Morocco, Ar
gentina, Australia and the battlefelds
of Europe When arrested he waved
Sheriff Gould aside, saying that he
was busy receiving a message from
the Sultan Of Morocco, with reference
to the Forthcoming marriage of one
of his daughters. He also stated that
he was busy perfecting plan to send
messages from his tent through the
air without the aid Of apparatus OF
any kind.
| Upon investigation it was discov-
cred that Harvey used to be a promi-
nent buck and wing dancer playing
big time vaudeville and that both he
and his family have been well known
IN Bridgeport.
The authorities are Undecided as to
what disposition to make of him, but
it is thought that the best thing would
lbe to send him to the observation
ward at Hillside Home.
Several surgeons are of the opinion
that he had a fall or met with some
accident which caused a pressure OF
some kind on a part Of his brain
Harvey is conscious of the fact thai
he is mentally -deranEAl along some
Hines, and puzzles the physicians by
his ability to cary on perfectly ra-
tional conversation when led into 6
different channel of thought from his
wireless telegraphic experiments. The
doctors ascrfbe this to the fact tha'
his mind is abnorma1ly active along
1 that one point without being capable
of developing or shaping any of thu
ideas which arise in that portion O
his brain.
