BABCOCK FIGHTS idle e. .sss,;;,
!. .>,&:s z. -, :. RICH" ROAD BILL NOW UP

Another good roads announcement
this week concerns the opposition of
the American Farm Bureau Fedora ton
to the Townsend highway billfpending
in congress and declared by that Or
ganization to favor bouleyards for the
''idle rich" rather than good roads for
farmers.
State Highway Commissioner G. M.
Babcock, alert to Minnesota's good
roads interests, is leader in a fight to
pass the Dowell bill instead of the
Townsend bill. Minnesota farmers and
other good roads enthusiasts can CO.
operate, the commissioner says, by writ
ing their representatives in congress to
support the DoWell bill. That law will
precisely fit the Minnesota plan and
will yield this state the greatest bene-
fits, asserts. Letters to congressman
will help to pass the Dowell bill'', said
Mr.. Babcock. ~

COURT DEFINES FIVE
 ESSENTIALS OF COURT SHIP

tT have exhausted them when I think of those three. What are the others? Counsel said the others were the giving of presents and the taking of lover-Hke expeditions and outings.
 Look back at your own engage ments, ladies and gentlemen he urged. (There were two women on the jury.)
 Can you say,' he asked, "thar during that period any one of the five was absent?'' The jury mere ly smiled.
 \ The Judge, summing up, said he did not know what the jury thought of a young woman who had been married sixteen or seventeen years and had two children who within ten days hearing of the death of her husband while serving his coun- try made an agreement to marry someone else. Nor did he know what the jury thought of the woman if her story was true, allowing young man to come to her while her husband was alive and talk about his being willing to marry her if she were free.
 After an hours retirement the jury intimated that they found for the woman, but awarded no damage.
 The Judge: You must give a far thing, that is the nearest to nothing that I can think of''

F. w. Peck, 666 Lougbrook avenue, and one of Stratford's leading citizens thinks that the proposed council manager form of government is well worth trying, but far from being 'po- litical proof He does not believe that the present type of Town govern ment, the proposed new charter plan, nor any other form would necessarily solve the problem, but that the only solution is in the hands of the people. ones are chosen, who will have the interest of the towns affairs at heart entirely, and with the right spirit. then the problem will be solved, and not until then.
 Frank H. Fargo, Riverton terrace. Stratford and a well known Bridge port business man, states that as a rule he does not meddle much with Town affairs that border on the poli- tical unless he is directly interested in the subject at hand, but that he is rather in favor of giving the coun- a way to better town government.
 Dr. DeRuyter Rowland, 2336 Main street, medical examiner, and the head of the Board of Education, stat ed Wednesday that he had been so busy he had not had time'to read a copy of the charter and was there fore not in position to venture an opinion.
 Thomas King, Windsor avenue, connected with the LaResista Corset port. like many of the newcomers to Stratford, had not had the matter brought to his attention and had not seen a copy of the charter.
 Edward Bennetto, Holmes avenue Stratford, is perfectly satisfied with the present method of taking care of the Town affairs and believes it eff clent and sufficient

London, July 5.-F'ive essentials of courtship were laid down by counsel in MT. Justice Lushs court.
 MT. S. J. P. Merlin was addressing the jury for MT. William Cuthbert Cromwell, motor engineers clerk, of Brightonroad, Redhill, who was sued by Mrs. Winifred Kate Coales, a war widow with two children, for alleged breach of promise.
 In the correspondence, counsel pointed out, there was nothing even approaching what was usually called love letter, and not a single letter which contained a, stronger term than Yours very sincerely
 There was no engageme ring and the young man took the widow to no theatres-not even to a picture thea tre- There were five essentials in the conduct of engaged persons to each other which here were totally absent. MT. Merlin gave the first three-1ove letters, engagement ring and the introduction to the respective families. The judge then interjected:

Shines Is Cured Of
 Politics

Berlin, July Hugo Shines, coal king, bilIionaire and member of the German parliament, has been cured of politics. He is looking for an op- portunity to surrender his seat in the Reichstag as gracefully. and as quiet ly as possible, the International News Service was informed on reliable au- thorfty. Under no circumstances will Shines become a candidate for reelection
 :tStinnes ist ein kind in der po- 1itke; CT braucht ein regisseur,'' is the frequent comment voiced in the lob bies of the Reichstag. This means Herr Shines is not fitted for politics. His friends pity Germany's richest man because they consider him a child in political matters, who needs a 'regisseur as, movie and stage directors are called in Germany.
 Stinnes' position is summed up by his friends who ask: Could you inn agine J. P. Morgan having himself elected a member of Congress and going to Washington to cast his vote
 for a new loan which the Morgan in,
 terests proposed to finance at a good profit to themselves? Or could you conceive John D. Rockefeller becom- ing Congressman Rockefeller so that he could personally lead the fight for tariffs agreeable to the Standard Oil Co. ?''
 This was the position in which Shines placed himself when he in formed the Volkspartei he intended to go into the Reichstag- Shines can afford to hire the best political and economic brains in Germany to guard | the Shines interests in the German | parliament.
 But instead of remaining behind the scenes and pulling the wires, Hugo Stinnes himself stepped out upon the political stage to be howled at by the radical galleries.
 Radical newspapers consider the l name of Stinnes the. symbol of capi- talism Ma<>- of the French news papers and some British newspapers have joined the Berlin radicals in clubbing any German government not controlled by Lenine and Trotzky a | "Stinnes government"
 Neither vanity nor ambition was responsible for Shines entering the Reichstag, according to his party l mates who urged him not to enter politics Shines organizing facul- | ties have one serious. omission, his personal direction is indispensable to all his undertakings He is educat- l ing his sons to conduct their business | heritage in the same way after his | death.
 But Shines has learned by rather
 unpleasant experiences that in pol- i tics he must let some one else repre-
 sent him; he cannot enforce his | wishes by sheer power of his pres
 ence and personal direction. Germany's economic emperor is | looking for quiet back door out of the Reichstag. Neither his party
 the Volkspartiei, nor the large Stin-
 nes opposition will oppose his retire | ment.
