Farnhan
 Up Before POliceBOard

Complications resulting from Judge John s. Pu1lman's recent charges against five members of the police departm ent, practically reached the breaking point this noon when James Farnum, a retired policeman, who is alleged to have given Judge Pullman information concerning one patrol man, appeared before the Board of Police commissioners. Farnum, ac- cording to all indications is in decidedly hot water, and faces the possibility of arrest on charges of peHjury.
 The eX-policeman is said to have informed Judge Pullman that Traf- fic Officer William Hennessey, one of the five against whom charges were made, was at one time implicated in the theft of some razorS. It is under stood that an investigation of this case revealed the fact that HennesSey had been in trouble when he was a youngster about IS years old.
 At 12:45 o'clock, Farnum was be- fore the commissioners explaining his side of the story, and also answering questions concerning testimony which he is alleged to have presented at a meeting yesterday afternoon. It is sad that his statements are conflict ing and evaSive.
 A complete investigation of charges entered against two other men is said to have been completed, and the men cleared of all suspicion.
 Farnum was retired on February 15, 1918, and since that time has been drawing money from the police pen sion fund.

Conine Attempts To Put OOer Coup
 -/ On Retiring First Selectn1on LalLey

Armed with a written communica tion, which is said to have contained the word "we,'' F. E. Conine, the newly elected First Selectman of Stratford made an advance on the Town hall yesterday and attempted a coup upon the stronghold of the re- tiring selectman,~ James Lal1ey, which is reported to not have been success full. Conine is said to have demanded the autom obi1e, and other equipment from Lalley. presenting the i've" but Lauey stood pat, believing that since the council ranks higher than the First Selectman un- der the new charter, that different orders would have to be received be- fore he retreated.
 - Rumors were soon afloat that Confne was to try and round up Rheinhold Persson and Seymour Wells, newly elected selectmen. to re- ceive' their cooperation, toward seek ing an injunction that would enjoin the council from taking charge under tf.e new charter. Such an act, if it were possible, would delay the opera ton of the new charter and put Conine as the new first selectman in power but it is believed it would be difficult to obtain an injunction.

 ickets Are
 Completed

In the noise and excitement at- tendant upon the Republican primar- ies, the Democratic preliminary con- tests have been rather lost sight of. However, the primary tickets have been completed in every district with results which delight the leaders who see signs that their convention will be a smooth and harmonious gather ing. Elsewhere in todays paper a complete list of the Urinary tickets will be found.
 A unified front has been attained by the party chiefs after some worry caused by opposition factions. This morning it was announced that the fight in the Seventh, which was ex- pected has been eliminated by the withdrawal of the forces supporting Lawrence T. Gallagher and that an anticipated contest has been avoided in the Fourth by the withdrawal Of the Anderson ticket headed by Frank Clancy In the Second two tickets still appear, but the differences there are only for control of the district and which ever faction receives the en- dorsement Of the voters there will be no differences in the Smoothness Of the convention. In the Twelfth dis trict the ticket is strong for Ander-s son. but the leaders feel that the men in that district will not nal any effort to wreck the party i1 al effort to put their choice across.

Eo171es Sees
 Big Victory

George M. Flames of the Re publican Voters League said to- day: Magnificent protest against conditions at City HaH.'
 we hoped to carry four dis tricts; we did carry five. Of the total vote cast we had hand some majority. We have only just commenced to fight.
 ''By the vote last night we serv- ed notice on the administration Republicans that there must be a change in the city hall, and we will not accept a mere change of scenery.
 eff the Republican party i'm this city is to be saved the proce- dure seems to be very simple. It can be done by those having the interest of the party at heart get ting together and agreeing on nominations that will appeal to all the people on election day as an intent to pull this city out from its present depIorabIe finan- cial condition.
 'eThiS means that the head of the ticket must carry the name of a thorough going business man, be he butcher, baker, manufac- turer or merchant, don't care; anything but a professional poli- tician.o

not approached, and it is said on good authority that neither would listen to the idea anyhow, and that neither will under any circumstances sign any voucher during the interval of a week before the council officially takes charge, so that it will be impossible for Conine to contract any bills.
 The new council showed conclusive ly last night that the complete roster can be gathered together quickly. Lal ley and one member of the council met the six o'clock train from New Haven, lined up Donald Samnis of the Second district and it was decid- ed to summon the balance of the council and settle the La1ley-Conine argument without delay. Subsequent ly the meeting was held, one member getting up from a sick bed to be present, and Lalley peacefully and willingly turned over everything be- longing to the Town that was in his possession, and now it is believed that both he and Conine will be satisfied with a draw battle. Conine has a car of his own, and Lalley's friends will see that he gets around.
 Under the new charter the only of ficial capacity vested in the selectmen is that of making voters. and Wells at least, states that he realized that fact is all the mite.

New Mayor Of Norwalk
 Sworn In

Calvin L. Barton, Norwalk's new mayor, was sworn into office at noon today by City Clerk Irving D. Rob ertson, and the first meeting of the new Council is scheduled for tonight. A new corporation counsel and city clerk will be appointed, and the heads of the varous city departments will be named.
 Judge John H. Light, his son, Free man Light and Judge William F. Tammany are the most likely caI1di- dates for appointment to the office of corporation counsel, Freeman Light being considered the best choice. It is probable that former city clerk Stephen Dokus will regain the office which he held under the Harstrom ad- niniStration.

her enthusiasm over the vision she got there of new era in country life. Mrs. Dixon is country from head to foot and her chief aim Is to make country life worth while, a place for the young people to GROW-BE HAPPY-Make a living and STAY.
 She was invited to represent Coun- try Life in Arkansas on this program and her presence was made possible by the Hayes Grain and Commission Company, who paid her expenses and advertised Arkansas in this way. Mrs. Alfred Wright of Sweet Home went with her, and these two, with Ex-Governor Brough and Miss Con- nie J. Bonslagel, State Home Demon stration Agent, put Arkansas on the map in letters that will never be for gotten by those present.
 Mrs. Dixon says she and Mrs. Wright were introduced to New Or leans by Miss Bonslagel, who met them, took them to their hotel, made them feel at home, and did everything possible to make going about in New Orleans easy. Gov. Brough was a true Arkansan and put the ladies first every time. ''He introduced us, got us the best seats, boosted us and at the annual conference dinner seated us with himself and Mir. Pugsley, one of the foremost men of the confer ence. Gov. Brough spoke at this ban quet, thrilling the audience with his conceptions varied and true. Wher- ever he goes, he takes Arkansas with him."
 ''Each meeting" says Mrs. Dixon, was revelation of a new phase of country life and its relationships. We began with country life promotion, spent one entire evening on trade re- laIionships marketing the middle man and what it all means to give satisfaction in trade both to the pro- ducer and the consumer. This must be for happiness, the money end went right into the social relation ships. No matter how rich or well any community is, 1t can not be hap py or progress without distinct so-

cial relationships, so the story of the Sweet Home Community House, the center of social activities in that com munity, came in here. Mississippi spoke first along this line and gave a fine story with wonderful enthusi- asm.''
 Mrs. Dixon thought of Miss Bon- slagel from Mississippi, of the many county and home demonstration agents, teachers and business men in Arkansas from Mississippi, so in- treduced her subject with the state ment that, from the talk just given, Mississippi must be a great state and she is, everybody must know that Arkansas Is greater for the Mis- sissippians were crossing the river and begging entrance into Arkansas almost as fast as the immigrants land at Ellis Island or the great port at New Orleans. This brought down the house and gave Arkansas another boost.
 Mrs. Dixon was especially inn pressed with MT. Draper, who talked along the line of recreation in the country. Country people need recre- ation, the schools have very few games and families grow up without happy diyrsion in the home. Mir. Draper demonstrated easy.-games for grown-ups that help mentally and physically as we'll as rest the tired folk. His demonstration walked the conference and gave everybody more pep.
 Church and school relationships also found>their place and were we'll demonstrated. Really says Mrs. Dixon, T can't begin to think of all 1 heard and saw. 1 got so much I am simply full! New Orleans is a wonderful city and 1 want to visit it again and this country life move mentl I do want to be more vaIua- ble to my home demonstration agent, my community, my church, my school and I feel sure last week at this conference will do much to make me so.'
 The American Country Life Asso- citation has Is standing committees, representing all phases of country life, made up of men and women from all parts of the United States. These committees study their special project all during the year and bring findings to the conference each year. Mrs. Dixon is member of the com mittee on rural organization.

PULASKI COUNTY
 IN FIRST PLACE
ITS EXHIBIT SCORED NINETY POINTS OUT OF A POSSIBLE. ONE HUNDRED, BUT WAS
 AFTERWARDS DISQUALIFIED.

Pulaski county has a splendid ex- hibit at the State Fair which IS now going on. In fact, it is the winner, having the best exhibit of any county in Arkansas. Pulaski county scored 90 points out of a possible 100, while her nearest competitor, Ashley coun- ty, scored SOL points out of a pos sible 100. However, that does not mean that Pulaski will get the cash prize, for after the judging was done and 1t was found that Pulaski had won, 1t was thought best by the Fair officials not to let Pulaski have first place in view of the criticism that would have been heaped on us by other counties, so after much per suasion, J. W. Sargent, county agent, and 5. E. Junkin, who had charge of the county exhibit, agreed to with draw Pulaski from the competitive list of counties ill the interest of har- mony.
 Many people in Pulaski helped to make this a splendid exhibit. MT. J. R. Alexander gave $25.00 on the expenses and Mir. Mark Valentine gave the use of a car for three weeks. Miss Allen, Mir. Junkin and J. W. Sargent gave their time and scores of people gave the use of their farm and home products.
