Times are getting better though.
What with the radio and the i'm
proved home appliances we don't
have such a hard life as We used to.
Our f1ivvers make it easier to get
into the city to see movie. We
know as many late dance pieces over
the radio as the city fellow even If
We can't dance as we'll The Grange
and the Legion and the All club and
the Farmers club give US lot that
the old time farmer used to miss.
"Rube'' Has Disappeared
1.-THE old picture of the farmer in
New York with wisp of hay behind
his ear. buying the Brooklyn bridge
isn't true today. Ask any one OF
them how to fix truck or a tractor
and he can give you as good a job
as an ordinary mechanic. Try to sell
him fake oil stock and look out for
the dog as you run out of the house.
Would 1 advise farming? Well.
I'll tell you II you want to make
a pile OF money. don't take it up
you'll never make it. If you want
to get a lot of living that you
wouldn't get anywhere else, Id ad-
wise a man to take it UP. It'll mean
a lot of work-more work than the
hardest boss would dare ask his help
to do. It'll mean sweating and ach-
ing and getting tired. It'll mean dis
appointment and disgust at certain
times But it teaches a man to de-
pend on himself for living. He
lives within. himself and he asks
odds from nobody.
He gets healthy-there's nothing
better than a farmers life for that.
He gets Contented with smaller
things and isn't so entious of the
chap that has it all. He works and
eats and sleeps and works again. No
farmer will actually tell anybody
that they ought to get into the farm
ing business-but did you ever no.
tice how man hates to get out of
it once he's in it? There must be
some reason for that and l think
that lis chiefly because a man is
satisfied with himself when he's
working hard for his living.
ITO the lazy man and the con-
ceited man and the selfish man I adj

But to the man who is ready to work
hard for a small gain to keep plug

new and advanced methods-go to

a lot of work to do before sun

DRIVERS TO BLAME
FOR bad corners
Statistics Prove Few Blow Horns
at Intersections

With the advent of the automo-
bile season, by the calendar If not
by the weather, there are many new
drivers behind wheels, and in all
probability the bad corners in
New Britain will add greatly to
their unsavory regulations as the
gasoline busgies whiz past and fail
10 reach the safety point just across
the intersection in time to avoid be-
ing banged by others which also
happen to be a little late in nego-
tioting the danger zone.
There is no denying that New
Britain has its share of dangerous
intersections. but observation will
prove to the most skeptical that in
many instances. the drivers OF cars
cause the street corners to become
known as bad" The accidents that
are reported to the police almost
daily are not entirely due to the
inability of the drivers 10 see far
enough ahead to gauge the space
between traffic and safety.
Within the past week or two,
more or less close watch has been
kept on some Of the so-called bad"
corners in the city. and the thrills
that were handed out were numer-
Gus although slightly monotonous,
because behind each of them there
appeared to be nothing short of
foolhardiness. IL not downright reck-
lessness. On the other hand. drivers
passed in fairly sizeable numbers,
who actually sounded the horns on
their cars and reduced speed as
they approached intersections, some
thing which all drivers would have

ways do.

NO Longer
EXCITE POPULACE
Curiosity Surfeited as Novelty
Ceases to Exist

1t takes more than an airplane to
bring an exclamation OF awe from
New Britain's younger generation
nowadays. Only the other day q
group OF children was playing on the
sidewalk when the roar Of an air
plane motor was heard overhead.
They didn't break their game Of
hopscotch even long enough to gaze
up into the air. 1t was Just as if
an automobile had passed ~ on the
street.
AS for the older people, it takes
at least fleet of planes, together
with the dirigible Los Angeles. to
bring them out into the front. or
back. yard with necks craned to Sc
cure glimpse at the ship OF the
skies.
Not long ago, the sound of an air
plane motor was sufficient to cause
the entire population OF the city to
rush to the open air and gaze aloft,
continuing 10 do SO until the plane
had completely vanished from sight.
Now, If one Of machines received
a slight glance it can consider itself
lucky.
The novelty has worn off and it
will probably be only a short time
before even fleets of planes will not
bring glance from those on the
ground. Children used to derive a
great deal OF pleasure from watch
ing Them but even they have found
that the novelty no longer exists.
AS plane passed overhead few
evenings ago. one of a group of
children was asked if he heard the
sound OF the motor. Sure" he re-
piled. why aren't you watching
it?" he was asked. Jaw, that's no
fun" he replied. resuming his inter-
rupted play.
However, the sight of the stately
Los Angeles last Saturday afternoon
caused a real furore. People crowd
cd to the sidewalks in an effort to
glimpse the queen OF the skies as
she piled her way toward Hartford.
the afternoon sun making her silver
sides glisten. There was something
out of the ordinary. One doesn't
see giant dirigible every day. Prob
ably that novelty would wear of
quickly. too. il the Los Angeles or
other ships Of her type were to pay
regular visits to this locality. The
fleet of IA planes that sailed south
| ward last Sunday morning also
caused great deal Of comment.
The automobile enjoyed its place
in the sun as a curiosity, but it,
general use caused the interest in il
to wane from the curiosity stand,
point.
But there is one machine that still
causes young and old to stop, look
and listen. That is the fire engine.
There always has. been a thrill in
cldent to the race Of fire truck
through the streets and there al
ways will be. The novelty will never
wear off.

directed. He was standing on the
sidewalk when two blases of fire
from pump guns in speeding au-

and Vincent Cocozza, So, a few feet

After the shooting the slayers.
four In number, disappeared with
out leaving a trace of their identity.
In order to make sure Of their marks
after the first blast the car of the
assassins was slowed up to send an
other volley into the bodies of their
victims as they lay on the pavement.
The methods used by the slayers
in the latest outbreak were similar
to those employed in the killing OF
Johnny Bricker and the wounding
OF Mickey" Duffy as they left
