WARNING SIGNS
TO TRESPASSERS
ARE GIVEN out

The bridgeport Home Gardens
committee have received complaints
IF trespass upon and other damage
+o gardens, by persons careless or
reckless of the rights of others. The
Home Gardens Committee gave early
notice that severe punishment would
he visited upon those apprehended in
law violations of this character.
The committee is now ready to dis
tribute the warning signs, a descrip-
tion of which has been several times
nuhlished. The United States govern
ment and the State of Connecticut
through its War Bureau, are behind
the protective measures, and deter
mined that they shall be enforced.
twenty-five dollars reward will be
paid for information leading to con-
viction of any person damaging or
stealing from war gardens, and this
will include thase who, to save ten
or fifteen seconds time, take it for
granted that gardens are public thor
oughfares. Gardens are not to be
considered as short cuts, fact which
should be patent to any person who
has a decent regard for the rights OF
others. More than ever before
should this consideration be shown
now, and every effort made to stimu-
late and encourage, rather than to
discourage food production.
The war garden signs may be had
at the office of the Bridgeport Home
Gardens Committee, 10 Ffrst-Bridge-
port National bank building. A spe-
cial penalty for war garden offenses
is provided in law passed at the last
session Of the Connecticut General
Assembly. 1t will not be healthy to
be caught violating the law.

circuses all their lives and have Wis
tied every country and city of size
throughout the world.
The Barnum & Bailey elephants
are a happy, contented family, and
they seldom quarrel among them
selves or make trouble for their
keepers. Harry Mooney, the boss
elephant man, declares they are the
best behaved and the most perfectly
trained pachyderms in captivity, and
Mooney ought to know, for he has
trained elephants all his life for var
ious circuses in America and abroad.
The three troupes of performing ele-
plants who appear in the rings, to
most every kind of feat, from fighting
sham battle to playing a game of
baseball, and they are a delight and
marvel to the children.
The Barnum & Bailey menagerie
this season is larger and more COM
plete than ever before, consisting of
10 cages of wild animals, in addition
to the herds of elephants, camels,
CRATES, zebras, etc. 1t is an attrac-
ton in itself. but it is only one de-
partment of the great circus that will
exhibit here with it's SO cars of world
wonders. The arenic program is one
| of the most costly ever assembled,
| including more than 400 acrobatic.

of novelties that have never before

Feeding the elephant may be part
of the fun for the visitors to the cir
Gus, but, according to the man who
buys the feed for Al pachyderms
with the Barnum & Bailey circus,
satisfying an elephants appetite is
costly operation. Although hundreds
of bags of peanuts are given to the
elephants by visitors the number
might be increased one hundred fold
and still assume no greater proper
ton than a tidbit for the big animals.
A half of bale of hay and ten gal
Ions of water constitute the dainty
breakfast that will be served on the
morning Of June 81 to each and every
one of the elephants that are coming
to Bridgeport with the Barnum &
Bailey circus.
This modest little meal will be
served on the show grounds and a
horde of small boys will be pressed
into service as walters, to carry water
for the thirsty herd of pachyderms.
In return for these services each lad
will receive a ticket admitting him
to one of the circus performances.
The Al elephants which are COM
ing here constitute the largest herd
in captivity and the largest number
ever carried by any circus. In ages
they range from old Babe" who is
no. to little Sammy" the baby of
the herd who boasts not quite five
years. Many of them have been with

FEDERAL RESERVE PLAN
HAS PASSED THROUGH
ITS BAPTISM OF FIRE
International News Service:

International News Service:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The
federal reserve system has passed
safely through it's baptism of fire"
and in the fourth annual report pre-
scented the congress today by the
federal reserve board the nations
banking system is revealed as the
ultimate resource Of the business
and financial community"
The report provides a review Of
the conditions which brought this
country suddenly from a debtor 10
a creditor nation. and the system s
power of expedients is shown in the
gradual readjustment of the cOun-
try's finances, including the issuance
o. S6,OOO,0OO.O00 in long term Lib
erty bonds without creating at any
time a disturbance of the money
market.
Other essential features TO which
the board calls attention include
the provision Of a large supply of
federal reserve notes stored early in
1917: development of numerous
measures for conservation of the
gold supply; and the application Of
amanement of June p, 1917, TO the
federal reserve act for expansion OF
lending power Of the several banks.
The board suggests early cOnsid-
Grafton by congress of the problem
Of corporate financing, in the belief
that no satisfactory solution Of the
general corporate and credit prob
lem will be found that does not in
voIve some degree OF government
intervention. One effort shown by
the war is the enlarged earning
power of the reserve banks. The
gross earnings are given as 49,
SOC, 900, and the net earnings as
S11,2O0.00O. The dividends declared
during the year are approximately
$6,SOO,00O.

DECIDES SUIT IN FAVOR
OF COL0RED K. OF P.'S

Finding was made in favor Of the
defendant by Justice Peak IT, the
case of Samuel Lippman to recover
possession of rooms at 210 y. Main
St, occupied by the COlored Knights
of Pythias. The contention of the
plaintiff was that the organization
had not paid their rent a certain
month in advance according TO
agreement. The court held that as
the money had been rendered even
though a few days overdue and that
no previous notice had been given
by the owner or agent, who had
been accepting payments similarly
overdue for several years, that the
defendant organization was entitled
to the decision in their favor.
