THE EXTENSION SERVICE
Director Thomas Brndlce Speaks on Its
Aims and Accomplishment

Prof. Thomas Bradlee. director of the
agricultural extension service at the Uni
versity Of Vermont gave an interesting
talk before the Discussion club of the
College Street Church Sunday. He said
that following the Morrill, act, founding
the agricultural colleges for resident
teaching, and the Hatch and Adams
acts. founding the experiment stations
for research and investigation, came the
Smith-Levcr act, founding the extension
services to carry agricultural information
directly to the rural people. In 1901 only
one agricultural college had separate
department for extension work; by 1910, 81
States had organized extension services
and following the passage of the Smith
Lever act in 1914 each of the 4s States
organized an extension service.
The Smith-Lever act. which provides
federal funds for extension work in agr-
culture and home economics, is common
~ known as the Cooperative Extension
act since IL provides for the cooperation
of the federal department OF agriculture
and the State agricultural colleges In the
conduct of this work. Through this ar
rangement all of the extension work In
agriculture and home economics done in
the States by the federal department OF
agriculture is carried on in cooperation
with and under the direction Of the State
agricultural colleges.
The Extension service carries directly
| to the farms and homes the best available
information regarding agriculture and
| home economies through specialists

and county club leaders, These people

and girls, both individually and in groups

 Some prefer the Hotel Davenport that famous hostelry. in Stamford, characterized by the excellence of it's menu and the SteepnesS of it's prices.
 At it's last meeting the council ap- proved the bill, "H. S. Morehouse, treasurer, $147.90."

 Said J. A. H. Robinson, city clerk, 'the claims committee works hard; it has put in a strenuous year, so it de- cided to have an outing. The bill is what the outing cost. A few din ners and so on.''
 Did they eat it all?'
 "I wouldn't exactly say they ate it an.'' replied MT. Robinson.

 A near riot which had to be -Quell- ed by two policemen, broke out at the meeting last night when about 400 members of the church arose with cries Of ''Vive la Constantine' and ''vive Ia venizeloz," when the two factions at the meeting shouted their political following.

Kranz and Roach who have been held in jail here since the shooting, will be taken to Newtown late this afternoon and arraigned before Jus tice Mccarthy on charge of first degree murder. The hearing will be a brief one and it is expected that both men will be held without bonds for the Superior Court. Attorney J. Robert Beecher will appear for the State, Wilson & Heating. Danbury lawyers. will represent Roach and Attorney Cullinan of Bridgeport will appear for Kranz.
 The coroner states that the men were engaged in removing gasoline from a tank belonging to the State Highway Department and had left their Ford automobile in the road nearby, and while thus. engaged the rifle was laid on the tank ready for instant use.
 Donahue and his brother-in-law Edward A. P itzschler, a Newtown barber, were walking along the road toward Pitzschler's home, when they saw the car without lights and ae' tempted to move it under a light where it would not obstruct the road.
 Roach and Kranz dashed out to the road and accused the men of trying to steal their car and Roach swung at Donahue with the rifle but fell in the attempt to strike him. Donahue ran down the road and Roach is alleged to have fired at him, inflicting a fatal wound of which he died later at the Danbury hospital.
