Washington, a gift from Governor Gardiner and potato growers in Maine. One Lenville Hawkes., on foot, was beside the oxen, saying "haw" and "gee" and yielding his goad, the stock of which may have been made of hop hornbeam. OK teams are now quite rare. They were the regular reliance for New England freight traffic until well into the ninteenth century, in the seventeenth and eighteenth almost the onl yreliance. The early the woods. The ground was too rough for horses who cannot con- quer boulders. stumps, mud holes and slippery ledges as oxen can. Oxen hauled the goods of Thomas Rockers party. Oxen hauled the cannon and supplies in the Revo- lutionary war. They hauled the settlers to the wilderness of the Wyoming valley. and to the states of Ohio. Kentucky and Tennessee more than a hundred years ago. They were the patient, powerful animals which helped our Connec- ticut forefathers to clear and till their rocky upland fields. They drew the yellow pine logs, cut for tar in the Connecticut valley and for timber two hundred years ago and more. Until a considerable time after the Civil war they drew the materials to and the finished goods from Connecticut's budding mill towns. Every valley in Con- necticut has reechoed the tread of oxen's hoofs and the rattle of the great wheels of the OK carts. The wheels of the cart Lenville Hawkes. is driving are five feet in diameter.
 The old balcksmiths' shops had separate apparatus for the shoeing of oxen. It was rite, so to speak, which children of the last genera ton loved to see performed. The oxen were trussed up in helpless fashion.
 Dynamite nows pulls the stumps and breaks up the rocks that oxen used to pull. On good roads, horses o trucks do what the oxen did on bad roads, or none at all. Even in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, each year sees fewer oxen. We can recall when hundreds of Connecticut men walked and "hawed" and "geed" as Howkes does. Now in scarcely any county are there as many as a dozen reg ularly ''at it." Yet oxen are worth their keep on any upland farm provided they can be used contin- uously. Otherwise they eat up their merit too rapidly with hay even as relatively cheap as it is to- day. around SEQ a ton for common grades.

Fort Worth. Texas = The life of a lion trainer is easy compared to that of Professor John c. Ruhle, of Germany. who is in Texas to select 300 choice Lone Star sand fleas for his travelling circus.
 Exertme patience must be exer- cised in training these tiny insects. and a magnifying glass is used to train them instead of a whip used by the Hon tanner.
 The first thing to teach a flea Is not to jump around, the profess sor explains.
 'I place a piece of fine wire around each flea's neck so 1t can't jump. At the end of two weeks, 1t doesn't even try to. But the train- ing is not finished. Each flea must learn to pull minute wagons and cannons, and not get stage fright under Q magnifying glass" So strenuous do these tiny inc sects work that at the end of one year they are so tired they de.

was defeated by John H. Bankhead who will take the Alabama seat when congress meets, although Hefiin Is contesting the election. Meanwhile, Tom, as former sena- tor, will have the privilege of the senate floor. That means he can sit in the chamber, taking any seat not occupied at the moment. He is going to take advantage of the privilege, too, while the contest is being decided. Under the rules, he cannot be recognized by the chair and is not entitled to speak above whisper. But everybody here knows Tom. And that's why so many of us fear that this irre- pressible orator, once on the floor, is likely to cause great parliament tary consternation by rising to spout as used to be his constant wont. No one. in fact, Is betting that Tom will be able to stand the terrific strain and remain silent.

It was Allen M. Hirsh of Montclair. N. J., who wrote this inspiring college air back at the beginning of the century. MT Hirsh was a graduate of Yale in the class of '0l. Incidentally he was varsity catcher on the baseball team while in college. But we're getting away from the real trend of the tale. Why Colonel Hirda? Governor Elem D.

The recent lsregrination of team of oxen from Maine to Washington bearing a load of potatoes to President Hoover caused both the Hartford Times and the New Haven Journal Courier to comment editori- ally on the feat of shoeing an OK. Special apparatus was used to lift the believing cattle off the floor in the biacksmiths shop and stanehions were used to prevent the beast kicking the worker. It was an epic struggle judging by the description of both editorial writers. Good old New England days!

poses back in l9l4. Sherwood Island is, in fact our oldest state park. although t is little used as such due to its inaccessibility and the efforts of nearby property owners to keep the public away from the site. We wouldn't give up the fight for Sherwood Island until the last gun has exploded in the face of the obstruetionists. And then we'd keep on fighting. There is too much ptin- eiple behind this to be sacrificed at this stage of the game.
