pIatinum wonderfuI Meal.

The American Museum of Natural History has issued a bulletin giving many interesting facts relating to platinum, one of the most striking of which relates to Its ductility. The marvellous ductility of platinum may be conceived when we consider that cut of single troy ounce of the metal 1t would be possible to make an al- most infinitely slender wire that would reach from Santiago, Chile, across the continent to Rio Janelro, distance of about 1,S00 miles. To draw out plat mum into so exceedingly fine wire 1t is covered with thin layer of gold. This wire is drawn to the thinness of the former one, and the gold Is dis solved. A small section of this sec ond wire is then given a coating of gold, redrawn and the gold covering dissolved. After this process has been repeated several times the wire finally is still intact, but virtually invisible.

EnnIand,a Mad Poet.g

~ The name Mad Poet' was applied
 to Nathaniel Lee, an English dram atist who was born in Hatfield in 1863. He was the son of a Presbyte- rian minister of Hertfordshire who conformed to the Reformation. He was educated at Westminster school and Trinity college, Cambridge. For a time he was on the stage, but later devoted himself to writing tragedies, of which he produced about a dozen. His first successful play was the "Ri- val Queens" (16S1), known afterwards as Alexander the Great" in which oc- CUTS the famous line, "When Greek joined Greek then was the tug of war" He colIaborated with Dryden in ''The Duke of Guise," q6S2). Lee became insane in 1884, and was confined in the asylum for five years, hence he was styled "The Mad Poet" He died in a fit of intoxication at London in 1892.

periOr court, and attracted much fa- vorable attention by his judicial abili- ty. In 1908 Poindexter was elected as a representative from the state of Washington to the Sixty-first Congress. He soon became known as an able, pro- gresSfve Republican. In the senate, to which he was elevated in 1910, he was a Staunch advocate of measures favor ing the control and restriction of big corporations, especially of the rail- roads. He sought the conservation of all natural resources of the country, including water power, coal and oil lands. Before the war he stood strong ly for preparedness, and later he wig orously supported all measures of the administration for the protection of ing the whole power of the nation into the successful prosecution of the war.
 MT. Poindexter believes that Bolshel vism and all other movements destruc- tive of representative government and national spirit should be strongly talk en in hand and that leaders in at temptS to overthrow our institutions should be severely punished. He is opposed to any scheme for creating hybrid government of the world where by Europe and Asia, in his opinion, would inevitably dominate this country and control its policies.
 Hiram Johnson, a native of Califor- nia, was governor of the state before he was chosen senator. He is extreme ly popular in that commonwealth and will be strongly backed in his fight for- the Presidential nomination.
 Johnson was successful, after long struggle, in ridding California of the domination of the Southern Pacific. For years the political machine of the railway held the state within It's hand.

"The political center of gravity in the nation has shifted to the states that lie between the Mississippi River and the Pacific Coast,"-New York Times editorial.
 This opinion is typical of an idea which is rapidly spreading throughout the country. There is feeling that "the West is in the saddle for the presidential nomination in 1920"
 The fact that the West decided the last presidential election has made it a potent factor in future calculations. Moreover, the politicians know that in case the woman suffrage constitutional amendment does not become operative in time for the next national election there are, nevertheless, 16 states west of the Mississippi which have already given their women the franchise, add ing an increment of some six million votes, which might easily turn the cleo tion one way or the other. Hence, the Republican leaders of the East as well as of the West are seriously consider ing whether 1t would not be good poli- tics to take western candidate.
 It Is significant that three of the most generally talked about presiden- tiaI possibilities for 1920 come from the Far West. They are United States Senators Poindexter, \Borah and John son.
 The first mentioned, about whom considerable discussion is now center ing, is from the state of Washington. Though a native of Tennessee and graduate of a Virginia university, Poindexter chose the Pacific North west as his field for life work, opening I law practice in Walla Walla, Wash, ln 1891. Later he was judge of the su-

swift-Movinq Creatures.

Leaping on skis Is doubtless the swiftest method of locomotion yet practiced by man. But even that Is slow when compared with the speed of some other creatures. It surpasses the hare and the deer, and far out distances the comparatively slow kan garoo. But there Is a jumping mouse in the African deserts which Is cred ibly said to make eighty leaps a sec ond, of 10 feet each. That means 800 feet a second, which Is more than four times the speed of the airplane and three times that of swallow. Nor Is even this amazing creature the swiftest known, for the common flea has in his leaping a velocity of $50 feet second, which approximates ten miles minute.

and without the sanction and support of this great power candidates for state or judicial offices could not be elected. Johnson, first as counsel for interests opposing the railroad corpo- ration and later as governor, waged bitter and unremitting warfare against railroad domination. His final victory was a potent factor in his election to the senate in 1916. Johnson is a Re publican, but generally regarded as. one of the radical type. He has, like Poindexter, strongly opposed the League of Nations.
 Senator William B. Borah of Idaho does not differ greatly in the degree of his achievements from the two other westerners. Born in Wayne county, H., Borah was educated in the com mon schools of that state and at Kan sas State University. He was admit ted to the bar in 1890 and devoted his time to legal practice until his election to the senate in 1907. Borah Is one of the most active figures in the United States senate. His efforts largely have been directed toward the proper de- velopment of the great natural re- sources of the country, especially of the West He is known as a progress sive Republican, fearless in fighting for what he believes to be right and, like the others included in this presi- dential group, has opposed from the start the League of Nations covenant.
 From the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast is long jump for national poli- tics to take. However, all precedents, both in business and politics, seem to be vanishing in these days of remark able establishments, and the old theory that a Presidential candidate must necessarily come from east of the Mis, sissippi Is no longer tenable,

The horses should be given plenty of fresh water regularly every day. Regular feeding is of paramount inn portance in keeping stock in a healthy condition.
 Pasture lands devoted to sheep have greater possibility of their own sus- tenance than any other.
 
 The rule is that it is better not to milk the COW before freshening unless 1t become absolutely necessary.

youngster have brought to maturity animals which otherwise would not have survived infancy. As a result, the meat supply is increased and the boy or girl is enabled to earn money.
 The father of little girl in Anson county, N O., who was very anxious to join a pig club, repeatedly refused to give her a pig. One of his pigs did not do well last year and he tried to sell the "runt" for $1, but could not find a buyer. His wife persuaded him to give the friendless pig to the little girl. Care and careful feeding brought it to maturity. After while the club members herd was increased to six. The little girl traded the best two of the litter to her father for sole posses sion of the mother hog, and sold the other three for $15. Having now ac- quired a membership in the pig club, she plans to continue in the work.

HAPPENING ON SELF-FEEDERS
Hogs Fed in This Manner Save Feed and Labor and Are Fit for Market
 Much Earlier.

Prepared by the United States Depart

 Fatten hogs on self-feeders as far as possible. Hogs fed in this way save labor, save feed in proportion to the gain in weight made, and are ready for market sooner than those which are hand fed. Less feed is actually required to fatten when hogs are self fed. The system is therefore econom- ical in every respect.

BIG GAME AT ASHLAND SUNDAY
ASHLAND VS. ST. MARYS

What promises to be the big game
of the season will be pulled off at Ash
land Park Sunday, when the fastest
amateur team in Connecticut lines up
against. one of the fastest if not the
fastest semipro team in Eastern Con-
necticut. This is the home grounds for
both teams and the game should be I'M
usually fast and snappy, due to the
intense rivalry between these two
home teams, one composed of all home
boys, every one an amateur, the other
of Eastern League players, college
men, and other fast payers from all
over Eastern Connecticut. Ashlond
has not been defeated on the home
grounds this season, and St Mary's
only once, this by the Ashland team in
a ten inning game with the score 1 to
at the finish. While these two teams
are rivals that will fight each other to
the last ditch on the diamond they
greet each other with a handshake and
smile after the game. This speaks well
for the kind of sports which Supt Car
penter of the Ashland Cotton Co., en-
courages at Ashland Park. Rieger and
Chase the fast league men will do the
battery work for Ashland. while
Spike" Liberty and Wild Bill Lib
erty will do the big stuff for ST. Marys
The latter two had the Ashland play
ers swinging like rusty gates in the
previous contest and they hope to dup
cate the feat this game. If you miss
this game you will miss the equal to
any game put on by the big leagues
this year so far. Manager Barnett of
st. Mary's says there is only one bet
for Sunday That is ST Mary's. How
ever Manager Pace of Ashland says
that his men have the experience as
well as pep and experience counts
Park Supervisor Guillote promises
that the grounds will never be better
than they will this Sunday, and that
as usual there will be parking accom-
odations for all the autos owned by
baseball fans in this section, so you
had better take a chance and come to
Sundays game. Arbitrator L'Heu-
reaux will hold the indicator, and this
indicates square deal to both teams.

MIA VS.. Stonington ForLeague Pennant

Owing to the dificulty in securing
suitable ball ground in neutral city,
the n. #. A. boys have decided to play
Stonington in. their own back yard,
which manifests sublime confidence on
the part of the Norwich brigade.
n. F. A. and Stonington are tied at
present and today's game will make
one of them champ of eastern Con-
necticut. The betting Is 26-0 in favor
of the Academy. due to their recent
victory over Stonington in very one
sided contest.
The Stonington management, in or
der to insure peace and tranquility,
and to make it safe for the umpires,
has ordered all the loose stones to be
removed from the field, and no one will
be allowed to carry firearms.
The team will go by autobus. leav-
ing Norwich at 1890. and will probably
stop a few minutes at Grotoh to give
the boys a chance to see the ferry and
other points of interest. Manager
Driscoll and several of his friends will
make the trip on bicycles.
Meek will do the hurting for n f.
A., with Captain Counihan holding
him up. Massey will probably start
for Stonington, and it is said that he
is in first class condition.

PUTNAM VS.. BEVERLY
AT PUTNAM SUNDAY

Putnam June 13,-The classiest
baseball game of the season is what
the fans look for when the United
Shoe Machinery team of Beverly,
Mass, comes here Sunday to meet
Manager McDermott's Putnam players.
Up in the section of Massachusetts
where the United Shoe Machinery
team is we'll known it is rated as fast
er than most of the teams of the minor
leagues, and there is little wonder at
this, because 1t includes in its lineup
a number of players who have made
national regulations on the diamond.
In left field United Shoe will play
King. who has been with Bridgeport
and Springfield, Leland of Tufts, 1917,
Ford, with Tufts in 1918 and for a
while with the Red Sox. Warner, an
Eastern league veteran, Carrigan of
Brockton New England league), Holt,
Lynn of the Eastern league, Simpson
of the 26th division team, A. E. F.,
Mahoney, Lawrence of the Eastern
league, Hastings, Red Sox pitcher in
the Southern league in 1915 and 1915,
Dubois, Holy Cross and Toronton, Fri
berg, Worcester academy.
Against this classy outfit Putnam
will oppose a team that will give them
battle. Doyle and Kelley will do the
battery work for the locals. Rogers, a
pupil of Connie Mack's, and Mcdonald,
one of McGraw's men. will be in the
Putnam lineup. So this looks Ike a
real ball game.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS LloulpATIvE.

New York, June 13.-This was a day
of severe liquidation on the stock ex-
change. with trading influenced exclu-
sively by the money situation. Declines
registered early in the session were
extended when in the final hour the
interest rates on both mixed and in
dustrial collateral rose to II per cent.
a new high record for the year. This
advance. illustrative of restriction of
funds for stock market purposes. re-
flected the necessity which has arisen
for making money supplies available

ing the gold export needs.
The situation was not one to encour-
age pool interests to support the spe-
cial stocks which were foremost on the
rise of last week. Shares of virtually
all groups were unloaded freely under
the activities of the bear faction, the

The athlete committee feels that ar
