WYE receive a great many letters

W published, the expense thereof,
etc. The way to do il is to write one
good enough to be accepted by reputs-
bic publisher, to whom you submit it.
That is all there is to it so far as you
are concerned. He will offer you his
terms and undertake all the labor Of
bringing out the book and putting it on
the market. He docs these things be-
cause he believes the book will be
pleasing to sufficient number of per-
sons to pay for the expense involved If
a book is not good enough to be accept
ed and published for you, you can bring
it out yourself by paying some publish
er 50 much to do il, and then paying for
the advertising. in order that people may
know there is such book. You are
extremely unlikely ever to make any
money if you publish the book this way,
and the minimum sum charged Is about
$500. Going to college might help you
to become a writer in so far as it may
teach you among other things the cor

and so adaptable to grain growing has
been an insurmountable barrier for her
competitors to overcome. In the last
few years the yields OF wheat and
oats per acre have surprised the agri-
cultural world. AS much as sixty BUSH
els of wheat per acre has been grown
on some farms while others have fur
nished aflidavits showing over fifty
bushels of wheat per acre, and oats as
high as one hundred and twenty BUSH
els per mere. One reputable farmer
makes affidavit to a crop return OF over
fifty-four thousand bushels of wheat
from thousand acres. While this is
rather the exception than the rule,
these yields serve to Illustrate the fer

III he loves the flavor Of antiquity. his
fate Is sealed and Stonington has add
ed one more to the list of her con-
quests.
What other Connecticut town was
ever the scene of an American victory
over the British? Stonington twice
defeated the naval forces of England !:
once In 1775 and again in 1914!
The conquests of the old town were
not, however, limited to battle alone.
The sea was hers, traversed as 1t was
by her whaling and sealing ships MS
well as by her passenger packets. The
unknown corners of the earth acknowl-
edged her supremacy, for Stonng-
ton captain was the first to see the
RAINING islands, and Capt. Nathaniel
Palmer discovered the Antarctic con-
tinentp
In the world of art, James MacNeill
whistler was pioneer spirit, and
Whistler lived at two periods of his
life In Stonington.
After the long series Of conquests,
beginning with the Indian and ending
with the summer visitor, Stonington
now enjoys the fruits of victory. In
peace she sits under her ancient elms.
while the harbOr waters lap her shores
and surge beneath the ruined wharves.
1t is recorded that Rufus Choate once
said of Stonington that II was the only
place he had ever seen that was en-
tirely finished.
Spirit Of Its Early Settlers.
The spirit that moved Stonington to
defy the British on the Goth of August,
ITO. more than ten months before the
signing of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, was indigenous to the COM
munity. In fact, the earliest settlers
of the region, in 1858, published their
own Declaration Of Independence.

had united to overthrow the PeQuot
Indians. each colony claimed the con-

Captain Palmer and His House.
Capt. Nathaniel Palmer, when only
boy Of twenty-one, became master of
the sloop Hero and sailed on sealing
voyage to the South Shetland islands.
Whaling and sealing ventures brought
wealth to Stonington shipowners and
captains, but this voyage of Captain
Palmer resulted in find" more vaiu-
able than any cargo, however rich.
The "fnd" was the Antarctic conti-
nent.
The Hero was one of a squadron of
vessels that reached Yankee Harbor,
Deception island, during the season of

to examine the mountain and the re:

boy sailed safely across the uncharted
sea and found an unknown continent.
The home of the discoverer Of the
Antarctic continent still stands in
Stonington and is now the Wampos-
sett inn. Like its old owner, 1t has
withstood the buffetings Of the sea.
In great September gale which swept
the coast century ago, this house was
lifted from Its foundations by the
force of the waves and dropped into

gradually brought back into place by
wedges.

Quered territory, which extended from
the Thames river to Connecticut to
Weekapaug in Rhode Island. The set
tiers Of Stonington (then called Mystic
and Pawcatuck) applied to the general
court at Hartford to be set Off as a
separate town, but the opposition of
New London led to the refusal of the
application.
In 1857 the petitioners sent an ur-
gent message to Massachusetts, which
colony had claim to the area In dis
pute. but Massachusetts likewise re-
fused the request of ,.e little settle
ment In the wilds.
Whercupon miniature republic was
evolved under the name of "The As
sociatiOn Of Poquatuck People"
In the same year, however, the COM
missioners appointed to settle the dis
pute between Massachusetts and Con-
necticut returned their decision. They
divided the conquered territory equal
ly, with the Mystic river as the bound
ary line. Thus the little settlement of
'Mystic and Pawcatuck" was not left
alone ITO defend the peace Of the
place."
