Buy Only Good Seed

Look out for the seed you buy, is the
warning the state department of agri-
culture is giving to farmers. Prof. A.
L. Stone, head of the department. s
division of seed and weed control, re-
ports that clover seed being shipped into
Wisconsin from several sources has been
found to contain as high as II per cent
of an annual sweet clover seed that
dies out after the same year it is sown.
The department. through it's seed division
inspects all seeds sold in the state by
wholesale or mailorder houses and by
the total trade, and prosecutes violation
of the seed law, Where seed is shipped
direct to farmers by mail or otherwise,
of course the department has no chance
to inspect it, unless asked to do so by
the receiver.

NO CRIMINAL
 ACT CAUSED
 MANS DEATH

In the case of Salvador Fratino, aged 72, who was burned to death at his home in Westport, Jan. 20, Coro- ner Phelan made a finding today il, which he declared there was no crim- inal act or carlessness responsible for the fatality. The man was in bed when he was burned to death. The fire started in the basement of the house and although every effort was made by the family and neighbors to save Fratino it was impossible to do so. It is believed that the fire was caused by defective wiring.
 Accidental death was the coroner's finding in the case of Lewis Smith, aged 39, who was fatally scaled by escaping steam from a boiler blow pipe in the Hoyt-Messenger Corpora ton of Danbury. The fatality hap pened Jan. 21. Smith was working about the boiler when blow pipe burst, blowing the hot water on Smiths body. The coroner found the boiler had been inspected officially last October and declared to be in good condition.

 Desertion.

''You fry the potatoes, I'm going downstairs to take a smoke" was the farewell remark of Henry Brod of Stratford, from whom Julia. Brod of New York asked for 8 divorce before State Referee A. T. Roraback at the county courthouse this afternoon. Mrs. Brod said that after her husband made that simple statement she did not see him for two years. The next time she heard of him was when the fighting with her son. When Mrs. Brod tried to stop the festivities her husband swung on her and knocked her unconscious, she stated.
 Mrs Brod said she and her hus- band did not get along very well during the latter years of their mar ried life. He once refused to speak to her for two weeks and they had other troubles. The couple were married in 1891 and the desertion took place September 26, 1915. Dur ing the summer months the couple conducted a clam bake business al Rockaway Beach, N. Y. Referee Roraback granted Mrs. Brod a, di- vorce.
 In the case of Helen Tomney Reli. against William E. Relihan, Jr., a clerk in the office of the Bullard Ma chine Tool Co.,, in this city, Referees Roraback granted the wife @ divorce. Desertion on April Is, 1914, was the ground. The marriage took place February 22, 1911.

Although Manager Goodwin of the Connecticut Co., could not be reached today it was stated at the company's offices that there was apparently no danger in Bridgeport of the coal short age that Connecticut company lines in other parts of the state are experi- encing.
 New Haven and Hartford seem to be the two cities worst hit by lack of coal and the Connecticut Go. has wired Washington in an attempt to prevent the New Haven railroad from seizing coal in transit consigned to the trolley company.
 J. K. Punderford, general manager of the company describes the situa- ton in the state as critical and states that unless prompt aid is received the operation of the system is open to question.
 Some time ago 1t was stated In the Bridgeport office that there was suf- f1cient coal on hand here to run the trolley system for some time and un- less matter have changed radically since then Bridgeport has nothing to fear along a coal shortage line.
