There need be no trouble in this respect, for carriers will still sell The Times. If any difficulty arises, however, readers are requested to notify The Times Circulation depart ment, phone Barnum 120S, and they will be cared for.

CONN. co. PLANS ID RUN BUSES 10
 FAIRFIELD BEACH

cut company is contemplating run ming buses to Fairfield beach.
 Manager Charles P. Potter Of the Connecticut company stated that a checker had been sent out to get the number of people who go to the beach on the cars and in the JItneys. He stated that he thought it would be a paying proposition to send the buses down but said nothing definitely had been decided.
 These jitney operators are not on duty .n the mordning and only op- crate in the afternoon when they feel there will be crowd,' declared MT. Potter. This is an extremely bad feature, and I only hope in time that it will be corrected If we use our buses I can safely say that this trou- ble will be removed and the burden of going to the beach will be made lighter"
 When asked about the matter to- day. Charles Collins, owner of Col lins bathing pavilion, said: For the past two months the service to and
 from the beach has been very poor. This service and extra fare has kept
 thousands who usually come to the
 beach away. and instead, they visit the other beaches. If the new project which is intended to be launched by the Connecticut company succeeds if will be the best thing that has hap pened in a good many years There are only two buses on the me now ana these are rather small and hence cannot accommodate the hundreds who come for swim daily. Last year when the service was nor nal the people who finished work in the stores at o'clock could get on a bus and after a short swim they could | return to Bridgeport in time for sup per-"
 The other proprietors of the beach who run the Idle Hour and Watch-a- Wave were of the same opinion as Mir Collins, and all voted unanimously
 that it would be a great thing and hoped every effort would be brought
 to bear, that the intended plan might be a reality

AMERICANS SHOULD BE
PROTECTED

No matter where an American
citizen may be there should be
enough respect manifested for
this government that that citi-
zen would be protected under
any anu all circumstances, pro
vided he conducts himself as an
American should in foreign
country.
If the Mexican government
cannot guarantee protection to
reputable citizens Of this: coun.
try in the peaceful persuit Of
their daily tasks then this coun-
try should find way to protect
themselves. Two instances have
happened within the last few
days when American citizens
were captured by bandits and
held fer ransom, and that within
comparatively short distance
Of the American border. In the
last instance forty American
citizens and quarter Of million
dollars of American owned prop
ertv were seized and held for re
demption. This government
should make final demand up
on the Mexican government that
these outrages stop and the coun-
try be policed in such manner,
by the government that foreign
ers and foreign property Will be
protected, and that If this is not
done that this country will send
a sufficient force down there %
do the Job themselves.
We believe that the ultimate
result Ct it all will be that this
government will have to send
hoops into Mexico and hold it IN
til a stable government is estab-
lished, just as they did in the
case Ct Cuba. We do not want
it as a part Of this country, but
the continued unsettled condi-
tons down there are a continual
meance to the peace Of this coun
try.
The percentage Of educat-
ed people in Mexico is so small
that they are incapable Of furnish
ing a staple government, anC
they should be taken charge Q;
and educated and given a stabl,
government until the majority @
the people reach the state 4
which they are capable Of gov
erniilg themselves, just as we ar
doing in the case Of the Phili
pines.

Husking Corn in Vermont.

To husk in proper way and shape
You need an old blue army cape,
| And chair with sawed-off legs;
A barnfloor, stuffed with stocks OF
corn,
Two baskets, one November morn,
And several husking pegs.
You haul stock from way mp high,
Sol big II makes your system sigh,
And drag it toward your chair;
You grab a stalk and start TO gropc,
And look and listen, hunt and hope
For any ear that's there.
You feel one up beneath the band
And jerk IL out with tother hand.
When, popl the band explodes:
You kneel right down the break to tie,
When something hits yon IN the eye,
To wit: the king of soqds-
MY stars,r you say, s'the sassy
thing
But toads was never known to sting,
You guess no harm is done;
And yet, you note with sundry fears,
The next COMPOUNDED thirteen ears
Are soft corn-every one.
Then soon, a noise up high beams way
You hear, and see the cats at play
Upon the looselaid boards;
But fore you've time TO boiler eScatin
Down shoots the hay knife past your
hat
As sharp AZ forty swords
Your nerves at last reflect the strain,
The sky turns black, ii looks like rain.
You b'lieve you'd better go;
SO toward the house you limp and take
The rocking chair and say you ache,
Which isn't zactly so.
But ma. she thinks it's nothing more
Than that old pain you've had before
A poultice cures the best;
And fore ten minutes you're in bed
With fannels round your frightened
head,
And mustard on your chest.
A day in bed gets up your fight.
Big fool" you say, "it serves me |
right;
III start tomorrow morn.
And spite of hay-knifes. smut-ears,
cats,
Enchanted numbers, toads and bats.
BY heck III husk that corn"
