LEDYARD

Probably the final hearing on the es-
tate of William L. Main, late of Led
yard was held before the pro-
bate court in Ledyard on Mon
day Afternoon. William L. Main
was farmer in Ledyard and
amassed a fortune of upwards of a
hundred thousand dollars. This estate
has been in the probate court nearly 80
years, and nearly every lawyer in New
London county has been connected
with distributing this estate in some
way or other. The late Judge George
Tanning and Jacob Gallup, now OF
Norwich, were the executors. Jacob
Gallup the surviving executor, togeth-
er with many of the heirs, was pres

Crooked Seed Firms Exposed

| Bargains have ever appealed to
| the average American and bargains
| in seeds for planting have been no
prominent exception to the rule, dur
| ing the recent months of high prices
| generally. Certain mail-order hou-
ses have taken advantage Of recent
conditions and have organized a
huge business which has reaped them
| enormous profits at the expense of
| thousands of American farmers. This
has been much more extensively car
ried on in Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Michigan and New York than in
Maryland; but last Spring we came
within their range more than ever
before. The campaigns undertaken
elsewhere against these firms have
resulted in their advertisements hav-
ing been excluded from several farm
papers; but many farmers are still
being reached and caught by special
travelling agents operating IN other
States than their own. We there
fore advise you to resist every temp
tation to buy seed from such firms,
including the following:
The A. A. Berry and the Standard
Seed Co., Clarinda, Iowa, and the
American Mutual Seed Co., Chicago,
Illinois.
These three firms are evidently
financed by the same capital and do
the same kind of business. We
have yet to see one of their tags that
fully comply with the requirements
of the Maryland Seed law, though
some attempt at tagging is made by
the Berry firm. The following ex-
amples indicate the kind of seed be-
ing commonly shipped by them, these
records being from samples taken in
Maryland:
Sample 194738, Alsike clover
81 per cent. pure given, SS.43 per
cent. found by us. Weed seed not
given, 1859 9per cent. found by us.
Sample 194727, Red cloVer.-9S
per cent. pure given, 1904 per cent.
found by us. Weed seed not given,
4,68 per cent. found by us.
Sample 194411, Crimson clover
80 per cent. Jan. given, germin., 38
per cent. found by us, May, 1919.
Sample 194412, Sweet cIover.-85
per cent. pure given, 1914 per cent.
found. Weed seed not given, 0.95
per cent. found.
Sample 194726, Timothy and al
SlhS o. 70 PSl SOhI'
given, 1858 per cent found. Alsike
80 per cent. given, 4,85 per cent.
found. Weed seed not given, 4.52
per cent. found. termination 88 per
cent given, timothy 80 per cent; al
sike 49 per cent. found.
Are you interested in buying and
planting seed of this character?
When tempted to buy on samples
sent out by mail-order houses, send
the sample to your State Seed Labor
atory and get report before buy
ing. Don't be taken in by such peo-
pie. Cheap seed is too often dear at
any price.

The Inner Tube As
Important As Casing

Few owners nowadays would be
content without automobile insur-
ance, yet how many there are who
have no protection on their tires. A
good casing represents an invest
ment which in proportion should be
as much covered by insurance as the
car itself, more so, perhaps, because
it is more susceptible to wear.
There is such thing as tire in
surance, too, although many fail to
see the protection in that light. The
very best tire insurance in the world
is a good inner tube.
Put inside your casing tube that
is dependable, one that will outlast
the wear of the casing itself, and you
have protected yourself against cas-
ing damage.
Good tubes cost no more than poor
ones, yet many are prone to consider
the tube as a necessary evil, an item
of equipment that is worthy of only
minor consideration.
The Fisk Rubber Company, MAX
ers of Fisk tubes, point to this over
sight on the part of many motorists
as the greatest source of needless
tire expense. Twenty years of ex-
perience in the manufacture of tubes
has shown them that pure para rub
Der is the most satisfactory material
for tube making, and that all of the
substitutes and composition formulas
ever attempted have broken down un
der test

Getting Rid Oh Easy Money

One answer to the high cost of
living problem is that people are
holding their money too cheaply.
Thousands of Americans who never
were more than dozen PAGES from
the breadline are today owners of
Liberty Bonds or some other form of
securities and they have never learn
ed the lessons which Ben Franklin
sought to teach growing nation.
Some of the people are spending
their Liberty Bonds. Their savings
in these securities represent money
that came comparatively easy, that is
to say, the holdings were accuniulat-
ed in small weekly or monthly pay
ments-money that was hardly miss
ed from the pay envelope.
The people are spending as furi-
ously as they fought and worked in
war times. They are On a spending
jag" so to speak, not only in this
country where the fruits Of victory
seem to make spending a necessary
part of the peace program, but IN
the rest of the world, not even omit
ing the countries of the Entente. The
money of the times is apparently
very cheap, it seems to come easily
and to go easily, but this condition
can't last Indefinitely.
When spenders are free and. easy,
prices go up with equal ease. Those
who hold their "easy" money too
cheaply make hard buying for those
who must part sparingly with their
limited funds, and, by the same to-
ken, those who demand luxnries
without accounting the cost may ex-
pect to pay more for necessaries The
trouble is not so much the high cost
OF living, but the cost of higa liElng.
Some one remarked very sagelyi
that if all the wealth of the rich n ere.
equally distributed among those ss
have little or nothing ng, the fieh y dsfsd
soon have it back again, and the 9TH
er class would be in the same posi-.
tion as before the division was made.
This is the natural consequence be-
cause the rich, or the great proper
tion of that class, learned to accunlu-
late wealth by habits of saving, and
would no doubt recognize the neces-
sity of saving more quickly than the
class that had never been accustom-
ed to it.

Money On The Farm.

Money, actual cold, hard cash, is
about as useful on a farm as good
disc harrow or a reaper and binder
would be in bank. Old Si Tuttle
used to tell a tale about a farmer
of the old school who always kept
several thousand dollars around the
house because it might come in
handy some day." Nobody ever
found the money come in handy un-
til a prowling tramp one night ne
gotiated the woodshed roof and a
back window, and the cash became
what Old ST called "a total loss, with
no insurance" 81 used to say that
no farmhouse was ever built with a
safe deposit vault.
A bushel of seed corn is no earth
ly use to anybody il it is simply put
in a bag and slowed away. To get
results out of that seed it must be
put where it will work-where 1t
can grow. Good, rich ground is the
only safe place for seed corn if you
want to get reaaeIlts.s
You can't get results out of mo-
ney by keeping it in your pocket, In
stocking, in a wallet, or in bed.
Money will work and money will
grow, but it will only work and grow
when it is put in the proper place.
The place for money is in business,
in solid, safe, sound business, either
an individual business or the busi-
ness of the nation. Safely invested
money will bring prompt and ade-
quate returns in the form of inter
est. That is why the government is
offering every American the oppOr-
tunity to put himself on the road to
financial independence by investing
his savings in War Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates, an
absolutely safe investment, guaran-
teed by the government.
Money laying around is a total
loss. You can't spend it in the wood
lot or the south meadow. Put it to
work.

Keeping To The Road

Success isn't easy to attain, be-
cause it can only be done through
hard work and many of us. in plain
truth, are lazy. And for that very
reason it isn't so much a matter OF
proficiency as Of will that is respon-
sible for the rung of the ladder on
which we are resting.
Any one with a normal intelIi-
gence, and capacity for work, can
succeed. provided he has the will to
succeed. But the road that must be
Travelled does net slope downward
There's no royal road to success
it's all got to be climbed, and the
first requisite. of course, is picking
out your road
Decide on your goal. Then set
your face toward it, and keep on the
road. When you get started you
will find that there are many by
paths that offer the most tempting
vistas of shady ease or Elysian wa
ters, but the retarding hand need
only be the thought that, il order to
reach your destination, success, ev-
cry foot of the detour that you have
taken must be retraced.
The government wants every one
of its citizens to reach this goal Of
success, and it sproviding means

to teach every one the value of sys-

A regular weekly or monthly invest

urged as instrumental to this end.

can always know that as long as you
keep on the road you are on the way.
