YOUTH OF STATE
 AVOIDING FARMS
Only 7.2P. (. Between 15 and
 19 Reside in Country
BY GEORGE 1T. MANNING


 (Washington Bureau of N. B, Herald.)
 Washington, D. C., Nov. 15- Only 7.2 per cent of all the young people in Connecticut between the ages of 15 and 19 years live on the farm.
 Two other New England states Massachusetts and Rhode Island show still smaller proportions Of young people living on the farm. The percentage in Connecticut is only a little more than one-ffth as great as the average for the United States, for in all the country, as shown by the fourteenth census, 349 per cent of all the young per- sons 15-19 years old live on the farm
 Of the 106,S32 persons 15-19 years old in Connecticut, only 7.731 live in the rural districts. 1t was pointed out at the farm youth con- ference held here November 1o14. at the United States department of Agriculture, under the auspices Of the Country Life association. The total farm population in the United States, of all ages, was 3O,- G14,269, or 29.9 per cent of the to- tai population. Of the total num- Der of children under five years old in the United States, 34.6 per cent lived on the farms: of all those 5-9 years old, 36.3 lived on the farm: os oil tboce 1n-1A vporS 0td 2T 6 lived on the farm, and of those

COLLECTION OF MAIL AT TOP. M. SUNDAYS
Postmaster Starts New Schedule
 to Speed Family Letters

Improved mail collections, espe- cially on Sunday, were announced by Postmaster Erwin today.
 In addition to the customary Sun day collections, special collection at 10 p. m. from all letter boxes on the main streets has been added by order of the postmaster.
 The object of this late Sunday night collection is to get the large number of personal - as distin- guished from business-letters writ ten by New Britainites on that day en route to their destinations each Sunday night.
 The postmaster recognized the fact that most people have more time to write such letters on Sun day than on weekdays and he was convinced most of the letters were dropped into boxes toward night Heretofore such letters were not collected until the following Monday morning. Under the present plan,
 most of these letters will reach their destination on that day. The amount of mail collected un- der the new Sunday night plan has amply justified the innovation.
 Three New Carriers
 The postmaster also announced that owing to the rapid growth of i the city and the increased demands l being made upon the letter carriers, three new permanent men have been
 added to the New Britain force
 They were taken from the civil serv- i ice list.
 j With these additions the increased demands incident to the proximity
 of the holidays will be met with
 more efficient service to the public. These Figures Don't Lie | For the first time in years the in- ! formation as to time of collections
 written on letter box placards does
 not prevaricate.
 l The postmaster announces that
 every letter box in the city has been "gone over" and the correct time
 of collection written on the pacards. ! Letter writers who for years have regarded the figures as jokes can now l rest assured the schedule of collec- tion on each box Is correct, he says.
 The only jokes in connection with i the new letter box time tables were
 played by boys who promptly sep arated three of the placards from as many boxes. This is a serious offense in the eyes of Uncle Sam and the postmaster was irritated about it.
 ! Another little episode of a slight [ ly humorous nature was to procure ink that would stand rain. sleet and snow without blurring. The general
 post office lets local postmasters wrestle this problem and not until considerable experimenting was done and the experience of other post masters solicited, was the proper ink located.

concern.
 The directors are recommending that a new corporation. to be known as the Hart & Cooley Manufacturing Co. be organized to carry on the manufacturing business, and that the present company be continued to handle investments and stock now owned. It is proposed to transfer the manufacturing assets of the concern to the new corporation. and in return receive all stock with the exception of one share for each of the direc- tors of the new company. A capital stock increase from $990.000 to s1,- 100000 will be acted on at the same time.
 The recommendation Is prompted by the fact that outside stocks now controlled by the concern are of greater value than the capitalization of the Hart & Cooley Co. These stocks are the accumulation of 16 years investments.
