United States.| People /had been'leaving the farm for | the' ity until nearly . Every state” in | the Union had.a superabimdance of | deserted. farms on its 'hands. Indi- rectly this influx of country folk into the city was blamed' for the sudden rise in the cost of living. . No one to work -on the farms. And now the procession has start- | The line has been formed, the band has struck up a rural air, and the city folk are farm- ward bound. “Back to the Farm,” is the slogan. In Connecticut, according to tae | there is not one abandoned farm. This ar- gues well for the state. It means a better future. It also warants a be- | lief that living expenses will event- | ually be cut down to a lower level. Many of these old Connecticut farms | have been tdken-over by sons of other | countries who are not long resident in the United States. By their econ- omic manner of living, these people ‘nave stored away their savings day by day until they are able to pur- chase a small plot of land, to produce the necessaries of life for themselves, and more luxurious things for others. It is ‘good these people have re- claimed some of the old farms which have lain idle on_ the hill-sides for some years past. while their former owners now gallavant about the big cities in ‘the glare of the electric lights. Connecticut is noted for its wonder- ful expanse of farmlands. No other state in the country can boast of the magnificent array of rolling -country ‘that sweeps from the north, the south, | the east, and west,—all part of a net- work of farms and cities. No state surely can show a closer relationship between its towns and farms. The great system of roads in the ' state, makes it possible to go.from the re- motest farm to the heart of the city in short order. And this is the one consideration that will make the city people of Connecticut farm folk. and the farm bred people city folk. It will bring about a better understand- ing between men. ; Y Men who have business-interests in the city can now have their families on the farm in the summer months and after office hours the head of the family can step into his automobile .and reach his farm-yard in less time :than. it takes to tell. Children This taking up of will = do c[ty b)’ed cousins. thie "abandoned farms then men ‘in the future. Of course, gne of the first problems confronting the man who.would leave the Clty for the farm'is, “How can 1 make ‘it pay?” Fl\e years ago if the city ‘man were told he would havé no he would scorn the idea. But experi~ ence has shown that in our own state of Connceticut men who were St | in the city have taken up farm work and developed a paying business. The new methods injected into agricul- tural work by the promoters of scien- tific farming have done much to rev- oiutionize the industry, and the city man has as much chance now as the old dyed-in-the-wool farmer, because both must start at . the same point. The city man, as'a matter of fact, has an advantage over the country man, in’ that he does not have to correct bad habits inherited from an - old school. The Department of Agricul- ture ‘employs a Dbevy of experts on farm management who - visit every commiunity during. the farming sea- son and extend help to the novice farmer. In fact, the beginner is the one who gets the advice.—the old- timer usually sputns any offers of assistance from what he ' terms a theorist. Intelligence is the greatest asset a man can take imp agricultural work. The day of merely planting seeds with the hope they will sprout into life is over. There is & reason for every- thing done on the farm these days. Efficiency is the watchword. The pres- ent day farmer doesn’t trust to luck so much as his predecessor. But there must ever be a. certain element of gambling’ in farming, so long as weather enters into'the equation. Yet \ymx a,ll the pros ar_xg e on the subjéct; farming is a’ wonderful vocation, ‘either for the city man who g willing" ta’ taka a ‘chance, or for the bred-i n-me-bone ‘fapmer. who must take seriously the Work of supplyln: his fellow men with the ;nécessary | foodstuffs. 1t'is @ sign of ‘prosperity i + can she tempt our | | The wlnhtng of rural life means the to see ithe old“ahandoned’ firms of Conmcthcut taker up ‘and worked. !

W. Andrew, who +has served as a judge, assistant city attorney, assistant ‘prosecuting at- | torney and clerk of the police courty | He was appointed to the assistant, city attorneyship in 1905. At the present time he holds the post of clerk of the court, Up to a month | or so he held the position of assis- .tant prosecuter which place is now filled by = J. G. Woods. His com- bined salaries for tne two positions approximated $800 per annum. The installation of the new city court as it will be run here in con- nection with the police court for the trial of civil cases up to $500 called for the appointment of a clerk and mneccessitated the .separation of the offices of clerk and assistant prose- | cutor. A younger man has = been chosen for the office of r:ler)%a,s the Herald is able to announce tonight, Emil J. Danberg, a Swedish lawyer of some political prominence in the city. He will take the clerkship of both sections of the. court. , Mr. Andrew has been a familiar figure about the city for a long time. His duties naturally ‘ealled attention to him and he has been in the lime- light for the reason if no other.. He | has a career which ‘proved of use- fullness to the city'4nd; has’ wen "ful- filled_his obligations. Mr. Andrew as stated above was appointed to, the post of assistant| city attorney in 1905 and served one year. In 1907 he was given the post of assistant prosecuting attorney | which he vacated last month. He gave four years of -his life to the judgeship ‘of the police court, - from 1895 to 1899. - In 1906 hé was ap- pointed clerk of the police court serv- ing until the present time.

The wardens is Capt. Bill Craig and apparently he hasn’t said a werd to anybody about the kind of work he has been dcing there, although 'he antedated Osborne’s plans at Aubura and Sing Sing by several years. Mr. Siegel is ustonished to find every- thng as clean as a well ordered house, with'a bath ‘and a change * cloth- ing every day for the prisoners if they want it, and a consderable amount of freedom for the* men. When anyone takes advantage of his privileges and tries to escape he is made an example set in some effec- tive but not cruel way that no one cares to Mmitate him. The one thing we are especialh interested in is that the warden sa he uses no disinfectants about the establishment. - “That 1s only :killing off one stink with another,” sAYS Capt! Bill.© “The combination isn't good to my nose.” He adds - that | soap and water and muscle, and fresh air 'end sunlight are cheap and are much more effectual .in their purify- ing work than the smelly stuff som institutions use to kill one smell with | another.

It is announced ‘that the Robert Dollar Steamship company, now ap- erating one of the largest fleets of ireighters under the:.American flag, | will” transfer its vessels to British registry in November when the TLa. Follette Seamen's Act goes into effect. Tike the decision of the Pacific Mail | Steamship company to withdraw its service from the Pacific ocezn at the same time), this furnishes an impres- | sive example of the success of Dem ceratic methods of “encouragin: American shipping.

Sympathize,k With- Germany. ““One excellent effect of the war is upon German-Americans who, with- wut sacrifice of their loyalty to their adopted country, have shown strong remembrance of their descent, their education and their culture. Besides them on the other side of the ocean there are wide circles who sympathize with Germany.” Alluding to the discussion over the ammunition question, Dr. Meyer-Ger- hard says: “Germans often mistake large am- munition orders for fllled orders. To a large extent such orders are chang- ing big factories into ammunition works. This is regretable, but.the writer' is convinced that ldrge .parts of the American people disapprove of it. | A popular_vote would show a con- siderable majority against the prac- tice.

Wrongly Treated by Each Other. Regarding the question of Belgium neutrality and militarism the writer says the Germans cannot understand the feeling aroused in America over these questions, as they know that Belgium surrendered her own neu- frality and that militarism is only the German nation in arms for its own defense.

Friendship Valuable Possession. “Friendship between Geérmany and America,” declared Dr. Meyer-Ger- hard, "“is a valuable possession for to take care it be saved to both.” The ‘‘Lokal Anzeiger,” printed the article, commennnz edi- torially upon it, said: “The foregoing {instructive | cheering remarks by Dr. Meyer-Ger- hard show that the imperial govern- ment is on the right road with its treatment of questions existing be- tween us and the United States. It is to be wished also that those circles which . heretofore hgve been inclined to make light of our differences with | America, as being utterly unimport- ant, will let themselves be taught bét. ter by Dr. Meyer-Gerhard's words.” et VIVIANI ASKS TRUST OF FRENCH NATION | Impressive Eloquence E: n ; Senate i Position of Go t. | . Paris, June 30.—To it an end as far as possible to the criticism evi- dent in recent sessions of the cham- | ber of deputies, Premier Viviani, ac- |companied by eight members of the cabinet, taking the floor, spoke on the ,appropriations bill for the third quar. ter. This bill, which would appro- priate $1,120,000,000 to cover govern- | ment expenses for the three months beginning July 1, was passed by the chamber of deputies last Friday. M. Viviani, speaking with impres- sive eloquence, explained that the government had no desire to take the upper hand of the representatives of the people. “Parliament has the control; the government . the execution,”- said ' the premier. “That is the essential prin- ciple' of all .democracy. We “wish neither the rapt optimism nor bitter disenchantment which breaks the springs of justice. We ask merely reasoned and methodical confidence. It required a great spontaneous exer- tion for this country, habituated to criticisms, to become tractable. Now it is ready for the long and patient effort which, will be the ransom of the peace of the world.” Premier Vivianj was. accorded the warmest ‘of demggstrations by 1 senate. dress, Alexandre Millerand, minister of war, took the flor and delivered a speech.
