 Morgana is alleged to have eat- en part of the barn away, crashed against a four foot fence, knocking it down, after jumping 1t several times, and finally requiring the erection of foot and half addf ton to keep the animal in.
 Judge Hamlin alleges he attempt- ed unsuccessfully numerous times to ride Morgana. In spite of ex- pert riders. the horse pivoted, tried to brush off the rider, was very unruly and would not cross bridge. Judge Hamlin adds that he even called Samuel Belcher and his son. Samuel Jr, defendants in the action. They coulud not ride Morgana, the suit alleges.

For The Defense
 President Hoover
Three Recent Speeches in Pivotal States Accepted as
 the Opening Shots in the Coming Campaign

hardly be deemed fortuitious acci- dent.
 As to the subject matter of his address to the editors, 1t was logical of course that he should talk about the business depression, generally If unkindly referred to as the Hoover panic, and which, according to his Indianapolis speech, is "the greatest crisis the world has ever known"
 As Q good deal of the criticism that has been voiced against the ad- ministration in the emergency was based on the early statements from the president and his cabinet minim- izing the disaster as a mere tenn porary setback from which there would be an early recovery, some such phrase as the quoted one may have been deemed necessary as q counter-irritant. It also served as a possible explanation of why the gov- ernment has not been more suc- cessful in it's efforts. For the first time in history" he said, "the fed- eral government has taken an ex- tensive and positive part in mitigat- ing the effects of depression and ex- pediting recovrey." While he made no direct reference to his campaign promises of continued and increas- ing prosperity if he should come to the White House, he explained in great detail that the condition was an aftermath of the Great War and he brought in as an element that "groups in the business world make their contribution to distress with raids on our markets with purpose to profit from depreciation of secur- ities and commodities"
 This sounds like a pale echo of broadside issued by the republican national committee before the 1930 election, in which they accused the chairman of the democratic national committee of causing the stock slumps which fatefully followed each of MT Hoover's optimistic declara- concerning the depression. That broadside was promptly suppressed when John J. Raskob notified the newspapers of the libelous character of the charge.
 At all events the three Hoover speeches are accepted by politicians all around as the opening for the defense in the cause that will be tired before the jury of the Amer ican people next November.

Washington.-Pres Hoover's speech making tour is generally hailed as his contribution to the movement in behalf of his re-elec- tion next year.
 Following, as it does, Executive Director Robert H. Lucas conven- ton of young republicans" which took the form of a Hoover ratifica- tion movement, in which all speeches that did not testify to sat isfaction with the administration course and admiration of the presi- dent were vigorously excluded, it is deemed a lo.~.al incident of the main program.
 Critics of the Lucas performance jeered little about the preponder- ance of white heads among the re- publican youth, citing such delegates as Leslie M. Shaw who was sec- retary of the treasury under Roose- welt and whose age is given in the reference books as 83, and Uncle Joo Tolbert, who was mixed up in post office scandals before the pres ent first voters were in their cradles. Uncle Joe, as may be recalled, was one of those southern republicans who was kicked all over the political lot when President Hoover started in to reform the G. O. F. in the south, but, like Perry Howard and various others, he was forgiven and continues to be a member of the republican national committee. h. cidentally, he is the oldest mem- ber of that committee. However, black sheep who have been political ly whitewashed scared veterans of forgotten republican battles, and sure-enuogh young men and women republicans, under the shepherding of Chairman Fess and Colonel Lucas, have all testified to the great achievements and the magnificent eff ficiency of the president and so set the stage for MT Hoover's own ora cle.
 Of course, the occasions for the president speaking are not them selves necessarily political. His schedule was an address to the h. diana Republican Editorial associa- tion, another at the dedication of the Harding Memorial at Marion, Ohio, and a third at the tomb of Abraham Lincoln at Springfield, Illinois. It may be a mere coincidence that the three states in which he made speeches were Indiana, which he car ried in 1928 by S00.000 and in which last year the republican congress sional delegation was cut down from 10 to 4; Illinois, which went to Hoover by 450,000 two years ago and which last year gave the democratic candidate for, Senator J. Hamilton Lewis a majority of 723.000; and ohio, which gave Hoover 76o,ooO in 1928 and elected democratic sena- tor by 241,O00 and democratic gov ernor by 109,000 in 1880.
 At all times the president has in- numerable invitations to speak from every section of the country. That he elected to address audiences in the three states that gave the most de- cisive verdicts against the republi- can party and inferentially against the Hoover administration. will

WATER WASTING .. TO BE CHECKED
Various Officials Seek to Offend Dissipation of
 Unnecessary Usage
PUBLIC CAN HELP

Although the heavy rains of the past two months have revived Con necticut's water supplies from the the effects of many previous months of dryness, the water supply Is al- ways a valuable asset to the com munity and should not be dissipated: This is the reminder of officials or the various water utilities in the state. At this time of the year, there is always temptation to waste water and the companies are on the alert to prevent this wherever pos sible.
 There is no intent on the part of inc water utilities to limit the use of water for necessary purposes. bu. they do intend to check and pre- vent as far as possible several methods by which the supply Is annually wasted. Some fthese methods, which public spirited citi- zcns can aid in checking, are listed as follows:
 1. In using water for lawn or garden sprinkling, refrain from ex- cessive use. Do not allow sprink' lers to operate unnecessarily long.
 2. Tn automobile washing, do not allow the hose to run when the jon is completed or during those parts of the process when 1t Is unneces- sary. run from household faucets when washing dishes or cleaning.
 (. Repair ieaky fixtures. Even a very small leak wastes many gal Ions a day.
 6. When at work. cooperate In avoiding waste of water used for in- dustrial or commercial purposes.
 6. Do noe allow drinking foun- aalns to run except when actually in use.
 [. When you discover someone else wasting water. remind them of ths waste.

TELEPHONE co
 REPLACES WIRE
l,8OO Miles of Wire to Be Installed on l3 State
 Toll Routes
IMPROVES TRANSMISSION

More than 1.S00 miles of tele- phone toll wire has been sentenced 10 death in Connecticut this year be- cause of highway changes and the need for additional lines which could not be accommodated on exist ing poles. However, this is by no means a sign that toll service rem dered by the Southern New England Telephone company will be reduced in quality or quantity. On the con- trary, it is an indication of improve ment, for all of the wire which is being dismantled, along with the pcles, braces and insulators which support it, is to be replaced with cables protected by lead sheath or with other lines over new toll routes.
 Every year hundreds of miles or Connecticut's telephone wires are re- placed by newer equipment wnicn improves voice transmission qualities and which is protected against the attacks of the elements so that ser vice interruptions are practically im- possible. The old, wire Is sold as funk copper. Poles that show no signs of decay are classified and placed back in stock. Cross arms, insulators, braces and other equip ment that are in good condition are also saved to be used again.
 Of the thirteen sections of toll wire doomed to go to the salvage crews this year. the following six all ready have been completed: Milford to West Haven, Meriden to Middle town, Bristol to New Britain, New Canaan to Norwalk via Wilton, Goshen to Cornwall and Thomaston to Torrington. Work of dismantlins the following lines is scheduled for completion before the end of the year: Willimantic to Putnam, New Haven to Waterbury.

TRAVELLING ICE
 BOXES ARE COSTLY
New Haven Railroad Uses 25,OOO Tons Yearly for
 PeriShable Freight
15,OOO BOXES IN USE

More than $500. 900, 900 has been invested in refrigerator equipment for the handling of perishable com
 modities by the railroads of the United States, resulting in the wid- est kind of distribution of fru.es, vegetables, fish, and other perishable products. There are more than 150,000 of these "traveling ice boxes" in daily use, doing their job of aiding the health of the nation by making available to the con. sumer fresh fruits and vegetables at times when they would otherwise be "out of season."
 While there are a few chemical refrigerator cars now in use, by far the large majority are of the natural ice type, and require regular refill ing while en-route. The New Ha- ven Railroad has two main icing facilities-one at Maybrook and the other at Boston-and uses more than 25,000 tons of ice a year for icing of perishable products. Such cars must be serviced every twenty four hours, the ice bunkers being filled up each time. The bunkers of the average car hold approxi-
 mately 10000 pounds of ice when full.
 Careful check is kept on refriger- ator cars while en-route. and when
 ever one fails to reach the next ic-
 ing station before the twenty-four
 hour period is up, arrangements are
 made to ice the car wherever it may
 be. It is therefore a fairlyl familiar sight to see an ice wagon drawn up
 alongside a railroad siding, with
 men picturesquely swinging ice UT {, to the bunker hatch on the roof. At the regular icing stations, how
 ever, the job is done much more efficiently from platforms which are on level with the roofs of the cars and it is possible to i'll the ice bunk CTS at the rate of car a minute. Tillie: I didn't know you studied sign-painting at college?

The Diamond Field in Our Back Yard

A Chicago man who has been in the business of
manufacturing leather novelties for years will shortly
open a plant in Brownsville
The bulk Of the raw material used in this business
comes from Milwaukee. The bulk of the material used
to trim this raw material comes from the eastern seaboard.
He will take this raw material, leather, that comes
from Milwaukee, make leather purses and the like, trim
them with silk and cotton from the east, use metal fasten-
ings that come from the east, and then ship his finished
products to Chicago for distribution.
On his finished product he is virtually paying freight
two ways, and perhaps more, and yet he says his business
will pay and will not suffer from the increased freight
charges in and out of the Valley.
Why?
He will be able to operate his manufacturing plant
more economically in Brownsville than in Chicago.
In the first place, climatic conditions will eliminate
one big item of plant overhead, the problem Of heating
during the winter months.
In the second place, working conditions are more
favorable in the Valley during the summer months than
in Chicago. Heat of the big cities proves oppressive to
workmen. The sultry days of the Middle West, which
produce heat prOstrations in large numbers, are not con-
ducive to either rapid or accurate labor: -
And in the third place, his entire plant overhead Will
be cheaper in the Valley than in a big city, especially
Chicago, where high taxes, gang rackets and other mel
dentals make a heavy inroad into the cost Of production:
There is a lesson here for Valley communities seek
ing new industries.
pressing effect that high freight rates have on many lines
of business who would otherwise consider locating IN the
Valley. Not at all. r
on the other hand, we must not let this bugaboo OF
high freight rates, distance from the consuming marker
and such, blind our eyes to the very evident Iact ina
there are MANY types of industry which can be located III
this section and which will not be affected by sueh rates
and such distance.
Every time such an industry Is located IN any Of our
Valley communities, a payroll is added to the wealth OF
that community, and the beautiful part of it all IS that
such a payroll is foreign" MONEYS money that orlgl
mates in some other section OF the United states ana com''
to the Valley to be spent. s.
The Valley must by no means sIacken in its fight for
more equable freight rates on all products. BUT Whle we
are waging that fight, let us not neglect TO point Out te
opportunities that are here Tor owners o. u iHe0
industry not so vitality affected by freight rates.

Oats And the Barber

"A little incident that happened in Iltfln, o., the other
dav furnished a revealing sidelight on the plight OF the
farmer.
A farmer living near Tiffin wanted a shave and a
haircut. A barber in the town happened to want some
oats for his chickens. So he agreed to barber the farmer
and take his pay in oats.
But it took the farmer four bushels of the grain to
pay for his shave and haircut-and even then he had
to add three cents in cash to make it come out right.
When the price Of grain is down so low that it takes
four bushels to get a farmer through a barber shop, it
is rather obvious that the farmer is in a tough spot.
