 A Part of New Britain
 McMahon was as much part of New Britain as the soldiers monu- ment in Central Park. He was or iginal in his language and never hesi- tated to say what was on his mind regardless of the persons or project it might hit. Like many men in public life, he was devotee of the cigar and usually smoked one when he was not eating or sleeping. He made the boast recently that he had never been beaten out of five cents" on a busi- ness deal. While he was the owner and manager of Keeney's theater he was constantly embroied m argu- ments with vaudeville performers re- garding the salary question and us- ually won his point.
 It is said that, in spit of his idio- syncracies. McMahon was a liberal contributor toward St. Mary's church.

CONN. WATERWAYS SEEM
 LIKELY TO GET FUNDS
Rivers and Harbors "Bloc" Puts Across Measure for Money
 for Improvements.
BY GEORGE H. MANNINC

BY GEORGE IT. MANNING Washington Bureau of New Britain Herald). Washington, D. C., Jan. 22.-7The
 Appropriation by congress of the big
 sums asked by the engineers for work on Connecticut waterways during the
 next fiscal year seems assured through the sweeping victory achieved by the
 rivers and harbors "bloc' in voting 196 to 72 for the Dempsey amend
 ment to increase the appropriations
 for rivers and harbors work all over
 the country from s37,000,0 900 to $56,-
 o00, ,o00.
 The votes of all the Connecticut congressman except Mr. Tilson of New Haven were cast for the in- creased appropriation. Freeman, Glynn and Fenn voted for it, and Mir. Merritt of Stamford, who was absent, was paired for the increase. MT. Tl- son voted against it.
 It was a great victory for the bloc" because it marks the first time the budget system has been over thrown by congress on a really big issue since the inauguration of the new appropriation system. Sentiment did not enter into the vote: it was a plain and premeditated action 10 get increased river and harbors appropri atons without regard to the views of the budget bureau or the house lead CTS, who were against it.
 If the Senate. as expected, approves the increase the following sums will be available July for work on Connecticut rivers and harbors dur ing the ensuing twelve months: [
 Connecticut river, below Hartford. s7o,oo0; Duck Island harbor of refuge, $44,00o Bridgeport harbor. s97,ooo; Norwalg harbor. s2o.ooo: Stamford harbor. $s0,Ooo; Green wich harbor, $s,7O0.
 Concurrence by the senate in the rouse appropriation of s56, 900, 900 for 'iver and harbor maintenance and next year was forecast oday when the senate commerce committee voted eight to two to stand y the house figure. The fund was increased by the house against the dvice of the house appropriations committee and the budget bureau.

LARGE PRESERVE BUSINESS
GROWS OUT OF CLUB WORK

When home demonstrations work
was first started in Charleston, S. c.,
ten years ago, Mrs. julius Townsend.
of Martins Point, became keenly in
terested in preserving and picking,
and made rapid progress under extern
sion direction. For the first two years
she canned locally abundant fruits
and vegetables for home use only. In
her third year of club work she be-
gan to market in a small way such
products as Dixie Relish, pineapple
pears, grapefruit preserves, mixed
pickles, water melon rind preserves
and pickles, peach preserves and
sweet pickles, ginger pears, cucum-
Der rings, plum preserves, blackberry
lam, artichoke pickle and relish,
canned shrimp, grape jelly, green to-
mato pickle, pumpkin chips, fig pre-
serves, and palmetto pickle. Five
years ago her annual output was not
over a thousand containers year.
About this time new home dem
onstration agent came to the county
and assisted Mrs. Townsend in en-
larging her market. In 1920 she add
ed small canning kitchen to her
home and began to employ her neice
and sister to help. She increased her
output to 1000 containers. A field ag-
emit Of the United States department OF
Agriculture visited Mrs. Townsend in
1921 and found that she had built
factory, and put up over $4,000 con-
tanners, necessitating the employment
Of from six to ten Of her neighbors
daily. In 1922 her output was even
greater, but she invested the entire
proceeds in another factory twice the
size of the first, with proper CONNER
cial equipment. The establishment Is
great benefit to the community, as
It furnishes employment to many who
otherwise have only few bources OF
income.

HOG CHOLERA LESS BUT
HERDS MUST BE WATCHED

A hog which remains In good health
from the day he Is farrowed until he
is loaded on a market-bound train is
the packer and the consumer. But
there are many diseases and parasites
which beset him during the few
months allotted for his economic per-
Torrance II this performance is to be
a creditable one, says the United
States Department Of Agriculture, the
hog grower must keep close watch ov-
er his herd and learn to know some
thing of the symptoms which indicate
the possible approach OF dangerous
disease.
Hog cholera is the great enemy OF
the swine industry, although 1t has
been diminished in Importance as
cholera serum. 1t has been reduced by
about 60 per cent from the losses dur
ing the most disastrous years, but
with greater care and better under
standing Of the plague 1t could be
reduced to a much greater extent.
With the gradually increasing con-
troll of this disease, it is important
that swine growers give attention to
the many other ailments which cause
loses, some of which are frequently
confused with cholera. Among the IL
seases with symptoms confused with
those of cholera are anthrax, epilepsy,
gastroenteritis, necrobacillosis, pleu
risy, pneumonia, poisoning, swine
plague, tuberculosis and worms.
When there is any deviation from
the normal in gait, appetite, or diges-
ton, It is time for the owner to take
measures to prevent possible losses.
Minor ailments often can be success
fully treated by the owner. but In case
Of doubt it is the part Of wisdom to
call for a veterinarian.
