BETTER FRUIT MEETINGS
TO BE HELD THIS

In a number of communities of this
county the farmers are interested in or
ganizing some plan whereby their orch
ards can be sprayed and taken better
care of than has been the case in the
past. With this idea in view, some of the
local fruit project leaders of the farm
bureau are making arrangements to hold
meetings in Co operation with the fruit
specialist and county agent on the 18TH
and goth of December. On the afternoon
of the 29th a fruit meeting will be held
at Pachaug in the hall at 1.30 o'clock
and that same evening, Dec. 18th.
meeting will be held at the Scotland road
hall, Norwich Town, at o'clock. On
Friday evening, Dec. 30th. John Avery Is
planning to get together the men who are
interested in better fruit in this com
munity at his own home.
At these meetings the plan for cooper
ative spraying with power sprayer, as
it has been worked out through number
of the farm bureaus in the center west
as well as in the east, will be outlined
and plans will be made for going ahead
with similar organization provided the
men are interested There is no doubt
but what something definite will be de-
veloped at Griswold and Norwich, as the
men have been signed up representing
300 and 400 trees 10 be sprayed. At
North Stonington Mr.. Avery is anxious
to get the opinion of the men in that
locality and If the idea seems right to go
ahead with this proposition.

AMERICAN DOLLAR AT A
DISCOUNT IN swITzERLA,

-
New York, Dec 27.-With the Ameri-
can dollar selling az discount in one
European tzerlahd-Ameri-
can bankers today were reported to be
planning to follow the movement with
gold exports to Geneva.
Gold has been pouring into this country
in an almost uninterrupted stream for
three years, America now holding about
40 per cent. of the worlds visible sup
ply.
Swiss francs today sold at 1880 in
this market a premium of 20 points. I'm
like any other exchange of the so-calIed
neutral countries of Europe, the Swiss
rate is also at a premium N London and
most continental countries.
Local bankers who have watched the
rise Of Swiss bills say that it is mainly
due to buying of that currency by Aus
trian and German financial and CONNER
cial interests, which seem to have lost
all faith in their own deprecated monies.
The obligations OF American bankers
and importerE to Switzerland are be-
lieved to be very small, but the laws of
supply and demand are expected to fol-
low their inexcrabie course in this in
stance. 1t is possible, however, that gold
now held in London for shipment to this
country may be diverted to Switzerland.

FRENCH INSTRUCTIONS ON
SUBS REACH WASHINGTON

Washington, Dec. 81 (By the A. P).-
The instructions of the French govern
ment on the submarine question. reached
at meeting of the cabinet today, were
received tonight by the French delega-
ton to the Washington conference, and
while their nature was not announced,
it was said in responsible circles after NJ.
Sarraut. head of the delegation, and Ad-
miral De Bon ha: conferred with Secre-
tary Hughes at the state department.
that France would not accept the Ameri-
can suggestion for her to maintain the
status quo in submersibles.
French spokesman declined to say
whether the Instructions Authorized the
delegates to make any compromise on the
original French request Cor a total sub
marine tonnage Of at least 10000 tons.
The French posttics in this regard, it was
added, would be outlined in detail at to-
morrow's meeting of the naval commit
tee of the conference.
1t Is understood, however, that the
French position is based in a general
way on the non-acceptance of the exist
ing strength as it applies to what is re-
garded by them as strictly defensive
craft. The French naval experts are de-
scribed as holding that each country is
entitled to say for itself haw many de
fensive craft" are needed, taking into
consideration the extent of coast line of
both the homeland and colonial possess
sions. So far as submarines are con-
cerned, their view appears 10 parallel
that OF the Japanese in one respect--that
neither cares how many such craft the
other has.

ACTIVITIES OF FEDERAL
COURTS MAY SWAMP THEM

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Expanding activities
of the federal courts may swamp them,
"and delay is a denial of justice" Chief
Justice William Howard Taft of the
United States supreme court said tonight
in an address before the Chicago Bar
association urging reforms to expedite
curt procedure.
Chief Justice Taft urged three reforms
which he outlined as follows:
First an increase in the judicial force
in the trial federal courts, and an or
ganization and effective distribution of
the force by the council of judges
Second, simplicity of procedure in the
trial federal courts
Third, reduction in +ke obligatory
jurisdiction of the supreme court and an
increase in the field of its discretionary
jurisdiction by certiorari"
There is no field of governments! ac-
ton so important to the people as our
courts" he said. There is nothing in
those courts SO essential to the doing Of
justice as the prompt despatch of bust
ness and the elimination from procedure
of such requirements as will defeat the
ends of justice through technicaMty and
delay.
while the bar and the bench are
really much less responsible for delays
in legal procedure than the public is
likely to think, the very fact that they
are. popularity supposed 20 be responsible
should make us act with energy to justify
the existence of our profession and the
maintenance of courts.
Examination of the statistics Of cases
brought and tried and personal confer
ences with judges leave no doubt that an
increase of the judges of first instance in
the federal system is absolutely neces-
sary."
The chief justice this afternoon was
pressed into service by a crowd of chill
dren to dedicate new skating rink near
his hotel He will leave tomorrow for
Cincinnati. q
