Der will be boosted far above the 1887
figure.
Last year, Taylor said, these mar
kets, which were organized by county
agents of the State College Extension
Service, sold a total of 1927 hogs for
1851 ,56170.
This year, reports from ten mar
kets showed sales in the first six
months of 1919 animals for total
of $765, 97442. Lower prices account
ed for the drop in total revenue.
Hog prices doomed in 1887, the av-

ONCE UPON JULY 23rd


Before j. Edgar Hoover, no detec-
tive got for himself so much publ
citv as Francois Eugene Vidocq, who
was born in Arras, France, 1853 ago
today.
There is nothing in common be-
tween the two Vidocq worked more
or less alone. He did not have the
large staff of trained men, the great
scientific laboratories, the enlighten-
ed and progressive assistance of State
and local police throughout his coun-
try, and the backing of a national
government in making record.
Originally a French army officer,
Vidocq became forger, galley slave,
thriceescaped convict, police spy
then chief of detectives in Paris. In
this post he displayed genius that
aroused the admiration TO the world,
.nventing techniques that are funda-
mental in crime detective and crime
prevention today. He inspired the
detective stories of Poe, Doyle, ETC.,
and thousands of their imitators and
successors.
The rewards of honesty were small,
and he retired from police work in
time to enter private business. The
venture failed, and he sought to re-
turn to his old post. There were OBJ
stacles in the way and he sought to
remove them by solving" a series Of
sensational thefts. A less brilliant
detective, using Vidocq methods, dis
covered that Vidocq had himself ar
ranged these crimes. Disgrac ed, ,
Vidocq descended to dire poverty and
died a broken man at II. Like Redl;
the master catcher of spies, Vidocq,
the master catcher of crooks, was
hoist on his own petard.

 The address of President Graham at the convention today follows:
 To my brother delegates:
 Every person loves to accomplish what he sets out to do. I do not deny that 1t has been my one ambition to head the Connecticut Association of Bremen. not because of the DOW CTS or glories of the position, but with feeling inwardly of doing good toward all. The president of the Connecticut Association should be active; he should be alert; he should be ever watchful of the in- terestS of every fireman of the state, from any point of view you care to take. How often we hear of this and that legislation affecting some par ticular fireman of our associa ton and the inactivity of our associa- ton in extending helping hand to the person involved.
 My friends: I feel that if we fol- low the acts of the various groups that are in control of our own &C., tivlties in the places we come from quite often. we may be able to as-
