PRATT TRIAL IS NOT REACHED AT
 COURT SESSION

The trial of Arthur W. Pratt, charged with the theft of an automo- bile from the late Charles Coppala of Darien, was not started this morning in the Criminal Superior court as was expected owing to the fact that the court was busy in passing sentence in other cases. It was understood that the Pratt case would be reached at the afternoon session, however. There is considerable interest in the Pratt case inasmuch as Coppala, whose car was found in Pratts, possession, dis appeared last Februaryswhen the car was taken, and no trace of him has ever been found although the State police have been working on the case.

 It was carefully pointed out that to take such sum from the taxes of the city would be q fatal step and it is thought by officials that a new bond issue will be necessary to take care of the increased appropriation neces- sary for the schools

Timely Farm Hints

The business farmer who has .
checking account it the bank will
save enough money by not having to
buy money orders, when he wishes
to- order an article by mail, to make
the account profitable.
The corn is now low in the crib
and most Of the grain out of the
bins, so it is good time to 60 after
the rats. Fight them with traps,
poisons, and all other methods. It is
also a good time to think about max
ing these buildings permanently
proof against these rodents.
Now that the screen doors are
up-do they screen? Many screens
are only nominal, because they do
not fit and it is I'D trouble at all for
the flies to find way to get in. The
judicious use Of a few carpenters
tools will often make misfitting
screens absolutely fly-proof.
Use the mower on the pasture to
keep the weeds down, as well as the
mattock and brier scythe to keep
down the briers and bushes. Some
shade trees in tie pasture are excel
lent, but small. shrubs and brier
thickets simply rob the cattle of food
they ought to have. Wild plum thick
cts are another very annoying thing
and may be classed as robbers

Denouncing all doctrines "as false
land OF the devil" that teach that sin

physical death to repent Of sin, the
evangelist probably quoted more
scripture this afternoon than in any
sermon delivered so far. He not only
scored blow after blow at the re-

at the infidelity gaining ground with
some people in the form Of intellec'
tual criticism.
He says, "It is next to impossible
for anybody that can think straight
or see straight to believe that pun
ishment in the next world would have
redemptive and purifying effect
upon the SINS" He says the theory
of some people Is that hell is col.
lege, where people enter their fresh.
men year and graduate with flying
colors their senior, year.
A sinful life hardens as the years
roll by and the longer person lives
the harder It is for them to be saved,
says the evangelist. Citing the lives
of men in olden times, he said they
had lived so long and become so rot,
ten that God hid to subnerge the
world under water for 40 days in or.
der to wash them and their sins of
the earth.
