Stories of fish eggs picked off the
branches of willow trees were told to
the kiwanis club this noon by John

fish and game. MIR. Titcomb ex-
planned that this happened last
summer when a river had risen /?

laid by yellow perch.
When the waters receded it was
necessary for employees of the fish

eggs from the tree tops and replace
them In the water. thus disappoint-
Ing great fiocks of bIackbirds who
lowered around waiting for the
waters to 60 down.
Mr.. Titcomb gave many statistics

spoke OF a disease which Is killing

have declared q closed season on
these birds and their hunters come
into Connecticut to do their shoot
ing. Sportsmen's clubs and fish and
game clubs throughout the state will
be asked to refrain from shooting
grouse for one year, he said.
MIR. Titcomb spoke Of large
swamp in Pennington which is used
as refuge for wood ducks. Shoot
ing Is allowed on the fringe OF this
swamp only.
He said the commission would
like to have a game preserve where
deer could be shot. Deer are a

TEDDY ROOSEVELT
flAYS DEMOCRATS


Lawrenceburg, Tenn. Oct, 3 P-
Predicting that "a clean-thinking
people will punish the bare-faced
hypocrisy of the democrats by the
greatest beating the land has ever
known" Theodore Roosevelt today
opened a brief speaking tour in
Tennessee on behalf of Herbert
Hoover. republican presidential
nominee.
Colonel Roosevelt termed most
ignoble" the campaign Of personal
calumny being conducted "by voices
whispering from the dust" against
both presidential candidates. he
termed as 'unAmerican" the issue OF
religious intolerance. being TO-
mented against the democratic cam
didate."
Praises Hoover
Praise OF Mr.. Hooyer's record as
a business man and public servant,
detailing his many arduous war
coupled by Colonel Roosevelt with
charges of Inconsistency on the part
Of the democratic party. hypocrisy
and extravaganza on the part OF
Gov Smith of New York, the DEM
ocratic standard bearer and whole
sale present day corruption on the
part of Tammany Hall Of which he
said Gov. Smith is "self-acknoWl-
edged" leader.
Decrying the record of corruption
Of the past eight years both WITH
in and without our party" Mr..
Roosevelt hailed Herbert Hoover as
the man to deal with it.
The Houston democratic platform
he said. merits place among com =
ic supplements rather than among
state papers
Recalls Free Silver
He recalled free silver. free trade.
the League of Nations and ofhef
former policies of democracy which
he said, have now been thrown INTO
the discard.
Mr.. Roosevelt mentioned that the
marty declared for enforcement OF
the 18th amendment and 'carefulis
ayoida advocating the enforcement
of the l4th and 18th amendments,
though it is these two which are
most consistently violated in the
democratic south.
He sought to ridicule Gov smith S
attack on the republican corruption,
citing the Albany gambling pools,
the New York city milk and sewer
graft scandals in support of his
charge of hypocrisy.
Stating that while the Washing
ton government had cut taxes
"nearly in half" the New York state
tax revenue had nearly doubled and
the cost Of government reduced S5
per cent in Washington had IN
creased 1917 per cent in Albany. Mr..
Roosevelt said of Gov. Smith s
charge of national extravagance OF
republican administration.
1T seems TO me that Gov. Smiths
accusation can best be characterized
by his own expression. 'baloney.'

WOODEN NUTMEG TRADE

Man from Oregon Finds Out 1hdt
They Can't BE Bought in Con-
uecticut Now but In New York.

Hartford. Oct 3 tP'-The industry
which once carried Connectlcuts
name to the four corners OF Inc
world is definitely extinct. the
Hartford Chamber of Commerce
discovered this morning. You can't
buy any wooden nutmegs around
here. This little sidelight on the
great American industrial panorama
was unearthed when Frank N
Rhodes. now Of Eugene. Oregon,
but many years ago q native of tn.
Nutmeg state. called at the Offices
of the Chamber to find out Wher.
he could get some wooden nutmeg9
to take back to Oregon with him,
During the years he has lived
there, he has been the butt OF
facetious references TO the shreWd-
ness of trade in Iankecdom, he eN-
planned, and wishes to return TO
Eugene. after his visit with his
sister in Hartford. with a small con-
signment of the commodity which
symbolized this shrewdness.
The Chamber set about. and
finally learned that one local firm,
though it had none in stock, knew
where they could be purchased in
New York city, and offered TO I'M
dertake the transaction. Mr.. Rhodes
VIII thus be enabled to show his
fellow citizens in Eugene that Con-
necticuts famous traffic in specious
spice was builded on a firm foun-
dation and has lasted through the
years-for who is going to know,
way out in Eugene. that the traffic
is dead while the shrewdness still
f1ourishes?

city a better rating.
II was reported that factory fire

Grating in the work towards the

thing which has been done has been
the displacement Of open lights or

the use of these shingles on all new

committee may ask council to con-
slder an ordinance on this sugges-
ton 1T was explained that the
shingles under discussion are no
more expensive than plain wooden
shingles and help bring down the
