ago, we now have Lodge No. IT'S with more
than 40 members strong, you see that we

remembered IN this country. He showed beyond
doubt that our only hope of going upward will
be through the ability of our people to organize
themselves. This idea was so plainly demon
strated that new vision was caught by his
hearers, and feel that we are better people
now than what we were before he came.
Seven new members were added on that night
and many more will come as as conditions
will permit.
We are planning to send good delegation
to the Grand Lodge.
Yours truly,

We could find more sensible way to
settle our difficulties. l had sent word
to them many times before Hymie
died. They thought was kidding.
But when they saw l was in earnest
they sent word to me that they want

When Capone rode home alone he
did something he hadn't done in two
years.

it looked like a funeral. 1t had to
look like that so it wouldn't be one.

G. Harold Gilpatric, former state treasurer and former cashier of the First National Bank of Putnam, was faken to Hartford, Monday. where he was further quizzed by creditors in the bankruptcy court or the first time so far as can ae recalled, 1t was put directly up to the former state official as to whether or not there were any irregularities in the purchase of Lib erty bonds for the state. The question ssas answered uncertainty by Gilpat- TIC.
 Gilpatric denied ever having made any record of any state treasury tran action in any book in the state treas ..rers office and could not explain how aa entry made by rubber stamp de- noted that bonds had been received at the state treasury a year or more be- fore they were actually delivered.
 Possible Irregularities
 Possible irregularities in the pur- ,hase of Victory loan bonds came out when Gilpatrie was asked if he could give any explanation of the fact that books in the state treasurer office showed that apparently S500,000 of the Victory or Fifth Liberty loan was shifted to the Fourth series before the transaction was completed. He said that he could not recall any such tran saction but admitted that there might have been. He said: q would like to go through this and would gladly talk ta anybody else.

HATCH CHICKS EARLY
It Must Be Done to Ring the Cash
 Register

The carly bird gets the worm, an the farmer who matches his chick early k laying the foundation for pro titable egg production next winter according to the Larrow Insti- ute of Animal Economies. No. vember now brings the high est prices for eggs instead of January as in former years, and pro gressive farmers are finding that 1t pays to advance matching formerly done in May and June to February and March.
 While winter is normally the sea son of dormant reproduction in pOul- try. the farmer who applies the few basic principles of poultry culture will find that he is able to get satisfactory production from his flock during the cold months. the Institute states. The Use of good blood is the first prere- quisite; early matching is important third. there must be constant growth from the time the bullet pops out of the egg until she lays one. and plenti- ful feeding ef egg making food dur ing the laying. Especially important is the matter of proper feeding, for without the right kind and quantities of feed the other factors will be of little avail.
 The advantages of early matching are enumerated by the Institute ps follows: Early matched chickens are less susceptible to the common poul try diseases, make good normal growth during the spring and summer and come into laying condition when eggs are in excellent demand at q satisfactory price Under average breeding and rearing conditions chicks with an early start make q much better growth and attain d larg. CT size and development than do late hatehed chicks Another advantage of early matching chicks is that the sur plus cockerels can be marketed as broilers when eight to ten weeks old on very satisfactory terms, but if this is not desired, they can be put on good green pasture and grown tc roaster age. when they can be market ed simultaneously in October or No vember Then, too, early matched pull lets, if allowed Co neck -molt in Novem Der and December will slow up pro. duction and, if allowed to come int production again. make ideal breed.

Arthur E. Howard, Jr., trustee of Gill patric's bankrupt estate, asked:
 Now there has been reference to the $720,0 of the Fifth Loan bought for the state through the bank l want to ask you whether there was any irregularity in the purchase and delivery of this Fifth Bond of s720,- 000?"
 T have been going over that right in process, answered Gilpatrie, and have been back over the whole thing refreshing my memory, and l couldn't answer that 1 think there Is evidence of the delivery of some part of 1t, and would rather not express myself un- til t is finished
 Those interested in the entangle- ment of the state and bank affairs seemed to be agreed that GilpatrIc' s presence aad facllitated the work in hand, m faet tnat the examination of Gilpatric had proved more pro ftable than was anticipated.

WOMEN ADVISED
 ABOUT BUSINESS
Warned Not to Take It Too
 Seriously

New York, Oct 9 LP'-The ten dency of women in business to take themselves too seriously is a sin in the eyes of the executive sec retary Of some 47,000 women who belong to the Federation of Busi- ness and Professional Women's Clubs.
 Women cannot close the office door and forget business when they 20 home," said this executive, Miss Emma Dot Partridge.
 Feel Challenge To Men
 Her explanation is that women take business as a challenge to make good in a man-made world and still struggle with feeling Of insecurity. Consequently, they work too hard particularly women in executive positions" Miss Partridge declared. Where a man will knock off work, forget 1t and play golf. woman is unable to throw herself into the re- taxation of recreation. In all of my immediate acquaintances, I do not know a single woman who plays golf"
 Miss Partridge has women listed h her files who are horse breeders, dentists, sheriffs, brokers, varnish manufacturers, and all descriptions of professions.
 Women More Conscientious
 ''In all. they are much more conscientious than men," she con- tinued. That is another quality that develops woman's tendency to seriousness. This quality is so ser ious as a situation that we are contemplating a department where by recreation may be urged upon the business women"
 women business executives should not be any more courteous in their dealings than men, Miss Partridge said.
 Busy men are gruff. why not busy women? Not that I approve gruffness. The world is used to ex- pecting the woman to act the host ess and, if she is anything less than gracious, comment is made"
 Sex Trait Too Strong Yet
 Miss Partridge says that it is not college women who are filling the highest positions held by business women today. but the girls who have gone through the laborious steps upward. Many college graduates are not willing to undergo such an apprenticeship, she added.
 She believes that women in busi- ness have not yet achieved the frankness and openness that the im- personality of business demands.
 They are not just business wo- men but women. While the average business man is interested in the wo- men he employs only in so far as they contribute to the development of his business, the woman, at least until she gets to the God knows when stage. Is playing hide and seek with the idea of matri- mony. She thus serves two masters and impairs her economic potential ities." .-r

Riviera in ThrOes of
 Greatest Land Boom

Nice, Oct. p P-Frenzied spec ulation never surpassed even in the hectic days of the Florida land boom, has struck the French Riviera. Hun dreds Of thousands of dollars are be- ing lost and made in a wild scram- ble for land from Toulon to Mentone.
 The English are in the majority among spectators but Frenchmen. Germans, Americans and Spaniards are all taking advantage of the un- precedented rise in land values.
 Every kilometre on the Corniche road between Cannes and Monte Carlo is filtered with huge posters advertising lots for sale. Juan-les Pins, a hamlet a year ago, has de- veloped into a brilliant casino town practically over night. In the fall of 1925, land around the few French cottages and the one inn could be bought for twenty francs per metre. It now brings 800 francs.
 At Venice, Grasse and Saint RaphaeI, the same speculation is in progress.
