horse trainer, employe of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, had a varied career. finally returning home 10 die after her father hsG removed her from a sanitariumn. Like many who have followed similar modes Of lite, she saught solace and pleasure iu drink, but ended by warning others against it. To woman who once went to interview her she said:
 Tell girlc that in the wine cup lies death and destruction. Once in the tolls, no escape. It Is the first step, and it is fathomless and pitt less.
 The girl who drinks is lost, she knows not what she does. She Is not responsible.
 "Oh. those girls who run away from home and take up with strange idols, no human tongue can tell what they suffer.
 Tell them" she begged, that when they become physically wrecked can add nothing more to the amuse- ments of the tempter they will be deserted and humiliated"
 This may be late day to repeat the warnings against drink, yet now we hear a great deal about another pernicious habit, that of drug talk ing Tn another period Sara Cowen, who died a few days ago, might have had the drink habit. In this day she gave herself up to the influence of narcotic drugs.

She was the daughter of Eber B Ward of De troit. at one time the richest man in Michigan. He was himself eccentric, but his daughter surpassed his od dities. She gave up her education in Europe at seventeen when she was heiress to $4,OOO,OOO, and mar. ried Prince de Chimay. Many af- fairs of the heart were credited to her
 One night. in a Paris cafe, she heard Rigos alluring notes. Not long after the two. dressed as gypsies, eloped and finally married after the Prince obtained divorce. It was said Rigo stole her from the embrac- es of kings. But "gyspy love" proved very expensive for Clara Ward
 The American Princess bought Rigo a palace on the Nile, a private menagerie, a princes wine cellar. Arabian horses and other substantial expressions of love.
 Later she left Rigo for a porter

There will be reports by men who have been most closely identified with the work that has been carried on during Che past year. Plans for next year wiN be thoroughly gone over. with the possibility that the farmers them- selves will take on mere responsibility for the carrying out of the program. and thereby make the program that has been started permeate the entire county as far as possible.

ssudra Bellonni Writes To The Pa
 triot About a Good Book

We have tremendously wanted a department of our own. so that we longcd to cheer lustiiy when the Ed itor said What about books?" We didn't voice our joy because we thought the Editor ought not to know how happy we should he Co review books for The Patriot Instead we tried to look very busy. very hurried and as though we had all the work We could possibly undertake this season, and in small tired voice we said Well, what about them7' But the Editor called our bluf He knew we knew that we knew he knew We just wanted to be urged little. So that how we came Co undertake fo review new books for The Patriots readers. We hope they will like our work, but we hope even more that if they don't they will tell us SO. ln which case we will either mend our opinions. Tor cease in our efforts.
 We hate more than almost anything else in the world to be told what we should read, SO we do not propose to do unto others as we would not be done by. We do not say Read the books about which we write reviews. No indeed We merely intend to se- lect few books every week from among the many we read which we for some reason particularly like, and pass on to The Patriots readers, theif titles and a sort Of written recommen dation as to their honesty sobrietF tor otherviscl and general character.
 Because we like W L. Georges "Hail Celumbia. eliarpef Broth. CTS. s200l and because we believe go must everyone who takes even a moderate interest in America and Americans, m our history, in our D oblems of today and tomorrow as an alien understands them, we recon mend ii Hail Columbian is like a huge and long lasting lolipop. We read little, and licked our lpsi we read little more and smacked them Then we settled down and sucked and sucked. At last an Engishman has come to our shores with an open, ap- preciatixe, understanding, keen mind. and mas, after nearly A year spent among us. gone home with that mind more open, more appreeiative, more understanding. Mir. George came to look us over. He looked us over and liked us. His liking he has put into every hne of his book. Being appar cntly possessed of not only just mind. but of very generous one AS well. he chooses to close his book with sincere compliment, which cannot fail to gratify all Americans.
 In Hail Columbia" We have rich ly eoiored, finely drawn picture of ourselves a. others see Us. Alas. we cannot hope that many others will see us with the analytical intelligence which this author has brought to bear upon us. He has discerned our faults.

 To Have Extension School

There are q number Of other things that were started by the Farmers Association during the past year. such as the interest that has developed on the part of the poultrymen m the county to get together and plan for a county, or at least sectional. special ized poultry extension school. X short time ago, three poultrymeu visited Cape Cod with the County Agent. for the purpose of getting a closeup view on the poultry work that was being done in that county. These observa- tions will be gone over at meeting that will be held m due time, and also the men present will map out what they feel should he the Farmers Association poultry program for the coming year
 IL seems that the outstanding thing in connection with the work of the Farmers Association during the past year IS the seeking on the part of tho farmers, of the best and most efficient methods of developing agriculture within the county. The dairymen take trips without the county Co inform themselves, and come back into Wind ham County and 90 to work. The fruit men, similarly, take trips outside the county. as we'll as within the county, and without doubt, with a reason able trop to rive them more courage, will get behind the Farmers Assoc iation program for the development of the fruit industry as they have in tho past The poultrymeu endeavor tc nfosa themselves of the hest work that is being done. and are planning to get together to put II inio practise l. seems that the agricultural develop ment has come to point where Wndham County farmers are de@ manding the very best along agrieul= tura lines.

of Wiudham County promises to be a real eet=together.
 During the past year, the Farmers Association started an agricultural program in Wndham County which IS believed by many Co he the beginning of real agricultural development.
 Dairy Accomplishments
 Without doubt the outstanding thing Tn dairy work during the past year was the organization of the Windham County Guernsey aIrd the Windham County Holstein Associa- tions. Many of the men in these or ganizations feel that it has brought about more definite interest in live stock development. than anything else that has been started. The splendid exhibit at the Woodstock Fair of the Guernsey Association, which included 42 head. for the most part well-iittsd cattle: and the exhibit of 67 head on the part of the Holstein Association was certainly feature of the two or panizations work.
 The interest that has arisen has been fostered by the organizations in tuberculin testing Pure bred bulls, quality cattle. dairy feeding schools, educational field trips, the marketing of milk. and the advertising of milk, are among the things that these organ izations are interested in. lt might be well to say that 1t was the first time Windham County has been represent cd at the Eastern States Agricultural Exposition, by cattle that was sent from this county as a result Of the interest that the Holstein men have in their organization,
 In the fruit work during the past year, six orchard management demon strations have been carried on, and one or two new ones have been organ ized. Due 10 the freezing weather in the spring the crop of Windham Coun- ty was the lightest lu years. but never theiess, on the demonstration orchards progress was made in building them up for next years production, and examples were set up of what can be done with q neglected orchard toward bringing t back: and 1t is the feeling of the Association that these orchard management demonstrations are better than textbooks or bulletins to show how to improve an orchard that has undergone neglect The demon stration at Mir Averill's near Pomfret Station. was very definite in its res ponse 10 good treatment. A number of pruning demonstrations were con ducted by the County Agent during the spring. Al four of these demon strations. there was a total of is5 in terested people present.
