Andrew Deobrock, 19, of Quaker Lane, West Hartford and Percy Barker, 20, of Pearl street, Hart ford. are lodged in the New Britain police station awaiting trial this evening before Judge George G. Griswold, charged with the burglary of goods amounting to $50 from the drug store of Henry Suprenant in Kensington early Sunday morn ing. Two youths have admitted a similar robbery about a month ago fin the same establishment, it is said.
 The two alleged burglars were captured by Officer James Doolcy of the Hartford police force who was attracted by their automobile com- ing out of the back road at Maple avenue and Fairfield avenue about 5 o'clock Sunday morning. In com- pany with Officers Wilkins and Gardner, also of the Hartford force, he stopped the machine and upon examination found merchandise in the tonneau of the machine. The two youths were then taken to the Hart ford police station and Suprenant was summoned to identify them. The local druggist visited the sta tion and recognized the men as hay ing been in the drug store previous to the first robbery. After continued questioning they broken down and admitted their guilt, the police say.
 Dooley was commended by the Hartford officials for his foresight in examining the car driven by the men as when he recognized Deobrock as a man he had arrested last July he became suspicious of his presence at such an early hour and halted the car.
 When questioned the men stated that they left their car on the road which goes under the railroad tracks and leads into Main street, kensing- ton, by the post office. They said that on the previous attempt they jimmied, the door but on this occa- sion a new lock installed by Supre- nant stopped their efforts, necessi- tating their breaking a window and

Six inches of snow covered the Adir-
ondack region to-day. the heaviest
blanket for an October fall within the
memory of old timers.
In the vicinity of this village tele-
phone and telegraph wires and poles
gave way under the weight of the wet
snow, and the electric lighting system
was crippled.
Reports from Saranac Lake tell of
damage to forest trees, which, with
their foliage still on the branches, were
broken down by the snow.
Deer hunters hailed the snowfall with
delight as it enabled them to track their
game with ease.
Boston, Oct. 81 "a. P.)-Nortbern YER
mont was cut off from wire cOmmunica-
ton with the outside world to-day as a
result of a snow and sIeet storm that
swept northern New England late last
night and this morning. No telephone
or telegraph lines had operated since
early this morning north Of White River
Junction. The storm also hit the Berk-
shire Hills in western Massachusetts.
Thousands of telephone lines there and
in the northern Connecticut valley were
out Of order.
At the offices of the telephone and tele-
graph companies here it was said that
heavy snow and sleet, freezing on the
wires, had carried down lines ard poles.
Half a dozen cities and scores of towns
were in the area cut off from communi-
cation. In the district were St. Adams
Burlington, Montpelier, Barre, Newport,
St. Johnsbury, Rutland and Middle
bury
The Weather Bureau here said that
a northeast storm that had blown into
New England had brought rain and
freezing temperatures although definite
reports were lacking. Wet snow and
sleet probably had bIanketed wires in
the storm area, the ~fOrecasters said.
Several communities in western Massa,
chusetts were in darkness for hours last
night, Brattlehoro, VT, was without
light for four hours as a result of the
failure of electric service. The snowfall
at Brattlebore measured two and half
inches and the precipitation was one
and eight tenth inches. -NeU York San,

HAIL TO THE KING

A tWelve-year-old Indiana boy was
crowned king at Chicago the other day. He
is the fourth in his family to wear crown.
America needs more kings Of his kind.
His name is Thomas J. Lux, and he was
crowned junior corn king Of America at the
international Livestock Exposition The
title seems to be hereditary in his family,
for 1t has been won previously by his two
brothers, Frank and Maurice, and by a
cousin, Victor M. Lux. His father, Peter
J. Lux twice held the title Of Corn King"
To an extent overlooked by many people,
Americas prosperity depends upon her
farmers. The migration of the country
boys to the city in such great numbers is
a real and constant source of worry.
Here is a family that is evidently con-
tent with the farm. The junior corn king
is not likely to fall victim soon to the lure
of the bright lights. He has shown that
he knows how to coax the soil into yield
ing him returns. His success is a good
indication that he likes the life of a farmer
The country needs more boys like him if it
is to continue to be prosperous.
But the country needs also to pay more
attention to the farmers problems. When
the farmer gets a fair return for his pro
ducts, there will be no need for ''back-tO-
the-farm" movements.

In less than two months after the old theate1
was burned down, Senator Fishbeck has erected a
show house which is second to none in the state
this side of Great. Falls.
Built along the most up-to-date lines, with
sloping floor from which every patron can see the
silver screen, fitted with the most modern light
ing effects and containing five hundred seats, the
new Plentywood movie palace is one to excite the
envy of rival towns as We as attract lovers OF
good clean pictures from all over the county
The show house is 11Ox3O, has a half basement
in which is installed down to the minute heat
ing apparatus The stage is 3Ox2O and boasts
Gold fibre screen. There will be balcony The
construction cost Of the house and furnishings will
be in the neighborhood of $4,000.
It's erection at this time shows the faith Sena-
tor Fshbeck one of the old timers of this section,
has in the future of Northeastern Montana. While
other towns are crumbling away Plentywood IS a
county seat which is forcing to the front It's
business men are progressive and prosperous and
the farmers of the surrounding country help to
keep them so.
It is appropriate that the opening night
show will be presented which is worth going miles
to see It viii tell story of how Courier Of
the Gar went into the wilds of Siberia on an
errand at the bidding of his sovereign.
It will paint picture Of the old Russia under

tablished the present government of the people in
Russia that has great historic importance.

beck on his enterprise and confidence in the fut-
ure of the County and wishes the new show

ORGANIZATION AND THE FARM
ERS

For years the farmers have been told what
they need is organization on large scale to bring
about cooperative marketing Of their products.
Secretary Jardine again urges such organization
in his annual report.
1t Is true this remedy would cure many of the
ills now besetting the farmer. But it is exceed
mgly difficult to obtain.
farmers ae hampered In efforts at organizing.
hey do not form a compact group, as do the
workers IN a particular branch Of industry.
Then, many farmers are specialists.
They raise corn, or wheat or cotton, or fruit,
or some other crop, often not merely because they
choose but because other crops do not thrive in
their locality.
80 they need organizations of wheat growers
corn growers, fruit growers, and the like. since
the different farm products present different prob
lens.
But the farmers are organizing in spite of the
difficulties.
Cooperative associations reporting to the de-
partment Of agriculture at the end of 1925 had
total membership of 100000, more than three
times as many as in 1915
Some of these memberships were duplicated
But almost third of the farmers are now en-
gagged in cooperative marketing
II these organizations continue the present rate
of increase in members, they may soon stabilize
agriculture.
Then the farmers won't need aid.
