Australian Railroads Multiply.

Drought in Australia, as famine in India, is no longer the dread enemy that 1t was. Railways have multi. piled, making the movement of stock to unstricken areas comparatively easy, though expensive. All the states keep accurate records of each days rainfall and this information Is posted daily for all to see and is easi- ly available to the owners of the re- motest stations. So man threatened by loss of stock through drought may keep his finger on the rainfall of the whole continent and know where he may send his stock If he gets no rain himself.

JOHNSON BREAKS SILENCE
 OF MANY MONTHS
Continued from page l

been given MT. Johnson written statements denying that they had ever said anything concerning him, and in some instances have shown zeal to give him clean bill of health.
 Libel Suits May Result
 From the attitude of MT. Johnson and his lawyers, following an inves- tigation by them of a number of statements concerning the former town treasurer, it would not be sur prisign if several libel suits were in- stituted in an effort to vindicate Johnson from a number of charges which have been lodged against him by Litchfeld residents woh interest ed themselves in the case.
 It is apparent that MT. Johnson, who was always considered hkeable man, due to his genial disposition, is slowly regaining much of the favor able friendship which he enjoyed prior to his sudden disappearance in January, 1917.
 Friends Are With Him
 "There are many people,, he said Monday, "who have turned out to be my friends, who 1 was not sure had any sympathy for me, and 1t IS grat- flying to see that they are willing to stand back of me to the limit. l will be forever indebted to them, and will hardly ever be able to repay them for their interest.
 "I must say that owing to the fi- nancial assistance received from these friends upon my return to Con- necticut, I felt that it was up to me o show my appreciation by fighting the case to the end. That l am de- termined to do. On the other hand, it has come to my attention that number of people whom I believed to be my friends have stood by and showed a disposition to avoid my presence. I shall not forget these things and I shall fight this case to a finish"
 About Fire Department
 Johnson expressed his anxiety to clear up the matter of the funds of the Norfolk fire department of which he was chief. Approximately $5,0OO was raised by popular sub scription to organize and equip a company. This sum was fully ac- counted for and published in the pa pers at that time. An additional $500 was borrowed from the Canaan National Bank on a note signed by the Auto Chemical Co.,, and endorsed by Mr. Johnson. After Johnson went away, the Ford car and property were attached and through some arrangement made by the lawyers the apparatus, it is reported, was sold and the money deposited in the Norfolk Savings Bank.
 All this was done when Johnson was away. Perhaps the facts under lying the Auto Chemical Company and the volunteer fire department will come out at Johnson's trial.
 Horton Suit Dropped
 Another interesting angle in the case is that a suit for $9,000 brought against Johnson's estate after his disappearance by J. Francis Horton as lawyer for the Norfolk Mfg. Co.,, was suddenly dropped, for reasons not known to the general public. There are a number of Winsted and Norfolk residents who ar inclined to consider it strange that Horton should suddenly cease to press the suit, when he became aware that Johnson was alive and about to

 Shortage Now Reduced

At times, during Johnson's ab- sence, the shortages attributed to him were fixed at various amounts.
