CASE OF COUNTRY SOAKING THE CITY

The trouble with the Legislature is that there are too many farmers. or country representatives, in 1t. It partakes more of the nature of a grange meeting than a representa- tive body of the states citizenship. As a rule the country members favor legislation that will Init the city fellows" and are strongly op- posed to any additional taxation that will affect the rural districts.
 Present conditions of "electing' our legislative representatives being what they are, no reform of the legislative personnel is in sight No matter what the population in the cities, their representation in the Legislature is no larger. The small towns run the Legislature and the big towns pay the freight. Some day there may be a ne" deal; the time for 1t has long been ripe.

 Reports from the principal cities indicate that the high records of new buildings in 1924 will be surpassed by tho time the statistics for 1925 have been compiled. There has been q decrease of rent throughout most of the cities of the country and In many Of them there has been a pronounced Increase of vacant apartments.
 This Is normalcy. In the long run the newer apartments will get the business and the older buildings, lacking the Improvements and at- fractions of the newer structures. will be given over to tenants re- quiring the lowest possible rents, or In lieu of this will be torn down to make room for newer buildings. That Is the inevitable cycle, and the newer buildings not only have the advantage but raise the standard of living comforts, They invariably contain improvements that were un. dreamed Of luxuries a generation or two ago.

A SPLENDID SEASON OF BOYS BASEBALL

Baseball playing by the boys of New Britain this season undoubted- ly has been the most successful in the annals of amateur sport here abouts.
 The six teams of boys, aged 14 years and less, sponsored by the Rotary club, was a remarkable suc- cess, as was the six-team league sponsored by the public amusement commission. Whereas in former years the teams embracing the league under city auspices usually Jagged in interest toward the end of the season, resulting in several teams finding 1t difficult to bring sufficient players upon the field, nothing but enthusiasm followed in the wake of the city's efforts this year.
 The playgrounds having intro- duced soft balls in recent years, the youth of the city were finding 1t difficult to play baseball with real balls. This condition was entirely eliminated this year so far as the two boys leagues were concerned. And so tight was the league race in the boys league conducted by the Rotary club that the end of the sea. son found two leaders in tie, SC that an extra game had to be played to designate the winning team which will be given a trip 10 New York on October 10 see bis league game.

GOVERNMENT "ADS" ON
 OUR LETTERS

Write often and keep the fam fly together" reads the stamp can cellation imprint on some Canadian letters received in the city. Thus It appears that the Canadian postal department in an effort to boost the sale of postage stamps. through advertising on the letters when they are delivered, gives to num- berless recipients of letters the urge to write plenty of them.
 The idea of governmental adver- Using on letters, of course, Is no new thing: it received much em- phasis during the war. when every letter contained governmental in- functions to buy Liberty bonds Since | hat time other cryptic phrases have been quite common on letters, and one of the post, master generals minor worries Is to treat all requests for free advertis- ing of this nature upon its merits Civilian training camps have gotter their share of it.

1 oluiu flight disasters and seems to be calmly awaiting court martial. Whether he will be accommodated is in doubt at this writing. Tho said superiors are said not to relish the possibility of making a popular martyr of the doughty colonel, and Commander-in-Chief Coolidge seems to be of the opinion that there is just enough justification for tho colonel's charges to command the sympathetic interest of & fairly large portion of the public. Of course. by every rule of the army, the colonel ought to be punished; but there seems 10 be circumstances that alter cases, even in the army.
 Col. Mitchell--who was a briga- dicr general and assistant chief of the |. S. air sssSice before re- placed by Secretary Weeks last win ter and sent to an army post in Texas-has strong opinions in favor of unified control Of the air services and is losing no chance to propa- gandize his contentious. Not only thls, but he is looking for trouble as a means of stirring up public in- terest in hls Ideas. In fact, 1t Is said he would Ike to be fired out of the army and then run for Con- gress, where he would be one of the prettiest little trouble-makers that ever mllled around the marble cor riders.
 Small wonder that the adminis- tration has not been In hurry to handle this hornet until gloves of the proper thickness can be pro- cured. The administration cannot be blamed for not desiring any ad- ditional monkey-wrench throwers in Congress. It may possibly be de- cided that the safest place for the colonel is down In Texas.

CATCH-PENNY DEVICES AT COUNTY FAIRS

The open season for county fairs has arrived. From end to end throughout the broad expanse Of this wide land they are in full swing, or full blast. One of the ob- iects of the Shenandoah's last trip was to show itself above a string or county fairs in the west, this be- ing done upon the suggestion or politicians, some of them Congress- men who when Congress reassem- bles may have "something 10 say regarding governmental aviation.
 In Connecticut the agricultural fair season does not really begin until after Labor Day. And there are many counties which do not have county fairs on account ot their proximity 10 cities where larger fairs are held. In the west however, 1t is poor county indeed which does not stage an annual az ricultural fair, with numerous slde shows and a carival as sn "addi- tional attraction"
 County fairs have become more complicatcd with tho passing years Many of them offer little genuine stimulus to agriculture. but cater more 10 the popular craving for eX- citement and pleasure. The develop ment of numberless concerns win pleasure equipment such as carm- vaIs carry around with them has made it easy for fair managers 10 nroyide flair" very remotely dlt- fcrcnt from the original idea un- deriving these events.

 prone, And vet, if all the truth were
 known, They would not give single bone To be kid once more; What fun is there to "rithmutick," !" Or "iogerfy." or words that stick, Or grammar rules that make you

The Traprock Museum Of Un-
 Natural History
By Dr. Walter F. Traprock
The School Exhibit

We have just opened the new school wing in our museum, where we have an interesting and timely exhibition Of school accessories, old school books, globes, maps, atlases, etc, etc. This is daily thronged with groups of teachers and scholars, absorbed in gazing at many of the things which they have been study ing all their lives without fully un- derstanding,
 For instance. in the grammar section we have a number of jars of word-roots, some of which have been brought down from very early times, and very gnarled and knotted things they arc. The square and cube roots are kept in the mathe- matics department, where the smaller children are allowed tc play with them on rainy days.
 A valued possession is the first gold pen of which history makes mention. It was made for Julius Caesar cut of the gold pried iron the teeth of Gallc prisoners, Marl Antony. who used to "step-out' quite freely. once complained tt Caesar that some of the things h' wrote were too biting. Caesar an swered, "Why wouldn't they he My pen srrang from the teeth O savages."
 We had an amusing chase in th' museum on the day of the opening In a small case We have a collec ton of tacks which have heel placed under famous teachers b, equally famous scholars. We have for instance, the tack which wa placed under Erasmus by Roge l Bacon, and so on. In the next room the geometrical department W have, in a small cage, live trape zoid which Will Beebe brouGh | back from Guatemala. Some on | left the cage door open, the trape zoid got out, swallowed the famou Erasmus Bacon tack which pricke his insides so painfully that h rushed bowling all over the mu scum and was finally found hidin under one of the multiplicatio tables. These tables, by the wa! which we use whenever we hay colations or evening parties. ar very handsome. They are made ( ouartered oak and were the gift C one of our directors, MT, Theodor Feef.
