‘Horwich j‘ll and Goufied. "~ 174 YEARS OLD. Subacription price, 12¢ a week; S0c & mmonth: = year. Entered a: Conn., as Bulletin Balictin b Orea S0 Willimantie Office, Reom & Murray Bullalmg. Telephone. 210. 3 “Norwich, Wednesday, Feb. 23, 1910, AGRICULTURAL RAILROADING. A farmers’ institute on wheels is a twentieth-century novelty which is apldly improving agriculture in sev- e states, zithough it has not been found mecessary in the east yet. Flor- ida and California started it years ago by sending out special cars loaded with mples of their products. Sev- eral western states invited homestead- ers and discouraged farmers of the east in the same way. A freight agent on a western railroad worked a train of this kind for the purpose of in- creasing farm freights and the busi- n of the road. It wasn't anybody’s sudden thought; it grew out of conditions and enter- prises, until state boards of agricul- tore saw the advantages of adapting h plan to local agricultural needs, and now it is in operation in a num- of at The farmers can't all go to the agricultural college, so the agricultural college professors §o to them The Newark News says that *last year the experiment of an agricultural instruction train proved so satisfac- tory and successful that this year two such trains will be utilized in two dif- ferent sections of the state. The first will be provided by the Pennsylvania railroad company, and will go over ‘the route followed last year, with some new trips added. Four days instead of three will be occupled in these trips, and the stops will not be less than an hour. “The second train, supplied by ‘the Central Railroad of New Jersey, will start at Somerville and will stop at @ number of stations on the main line and branches. The lecturers for both trains will be supplied by the state board of agriculture, the topics to be announced in advance of the dates up- on which the trains will start, and the farmers for miles around each stop- ping station will be invited to attend the lectures and to ask questions.” And it is expected that every rail- road in the state will run out an agricultural train before long, for it a way of bettering crops and in- creasing the freighting business. TO MAKE LIFE MERRIER. The Rev. Wright Gibson of Pitts- burg has concluded that the greatest cause of divorce is the shortage of family revenue, so he has evolved and proclaimed from the pulpit a com- mandment which is reported to read thus: “Unless you have $2,000 a year you shall not marry.” He has not thought what a lot of compulsory celfbacy this would result In without really improving in any way the mor- als of soclety or lessening in the least the perils of life. There fs no doubt that $2,000 a vear fs a soug little sum and that every labor organization would favor the incresse and join the church which would dring such pleasing conditions sbout; and it looks as if everybody else would, too. The fact of the matter s that true love has never shown a mercenary =pirit and seldom makes a demand uopn the purse, it is 50 moved by tire heart. This very natural way of marrying and finding out how to live in com- fort afterwards might be improved upon, tut since not one minister In fifty is given $2,000 a year and only ebout one layman in fifty thousand, ism't it expecting a little too much to have such a general equalling up of salaries all at once? Life would be merrier under this plan and “the wolf’ would not so oft- en be looking in at the window. OUR PROTECTOR. The men of the country have spe- elal reason to have a feeling of grat- ftude towards Mrs. Margaret Fitzger- ald of New York, who is out for a legal regulation of the hatpin, and she is pressing a bill before the New York legisiature to accomplish her purpose. This subject occurred to her mind not long ago when, in 2 street car, rounding a curve, she saw a wo- man carcen against a male passenger with such force that her hatpin was driven into the man's ear. “If it had been his eye,” remarks Mrs. Fitsger- 2ld, “he would have been a dedd man.” Mrs. Fitzgerald has a good heart and is doubtless aware that there are 2 million fewer.men than women in the country now, and she does not propose to see this perilous and recl less business going on without doing all she can to prevent it. The Bulletin bas three cheers and a tiger, for Mrs. Fitzgerald, THE CITY BEAUTIFUL. The cities of New England whose chief attractiveness is their arboreal beanty cannot keep their beauty up it they @o not knock the pests down. If there is anything that makes'a city look like an old boot run down at the heel, it is to have its great elm trees defoliated by pests and the infested follage blowing about the street as if elovenliness was a virt g7 ey ue instead of Bristol, in this state, is moving now to forestall the elm beetles’ ravages and The Press of that place follows up the offer of a generous citizen who has asrecd to bear the expense of having the 450 public trees sprayed at one dollar each by inviting the people to co-operate in the work by having the private trees given needed pro- tection at the same price. This early movement is a good-example to other cities who have trees to spray and rep- utations to preserve. In old times this spraving was not necessary because the natural enemies of the insects kept' them down; but with the killing off of the birds an the importation of beetles and moth: the time has come when It costs mon- ey to do artificlally what by wiser conduct on' the part of men would be done naturally. about the pr?ucm'- affairs Tatt's ways just as though we all one great happy family and s terested in one another that it is all right. It is pleasant to hear her say: “Will is the same old Will"; and that “he’s bigser and heavier, but every way he is just the same as when he used to come here to Milbury from college.” And her reiterated comver- sation with Mrs. Taft is so hearty we all wish we had an Aunt Delia, too. She told her interviewer: “I said to her, ‘Helen, 1s your chef a man or a woman? and she said, ‘Oh, a woman. T never could get along with a man in the kitchen’ And that's the way T'd feel about a man cook, too.” Aunt Delia is bright and active at $7, a woman of the moble, old New ‘“England type, and her thrills of pleas- ure and unaffected manner please us ail, LOST DOG FOUND. The finding of 2 lost dog ds of daily occurrence, but the finding of them as Wiss Anna Bell of Los Augeles found hers is of very rare occurrence, although many pet dogs may have been lost in the same way. As the story comes from Califormia, when G. L. Sewright of Los Angeles bit in- to a wienerwurst sausage the other day and struck something hard, which, on investigation, proved to be a dog’s license tag, he concluded that there were elrcumstances warranting in- vestigation, The number on the tag was 4,413. Mr. Sewright found from the records in the city clerk’s office that the license had been issued to a Miss Anna Bell for a female Scotch terrier, and upon his notifying Miss Bell of what had happened she re- moved her “Lost dog” advertisement from the newspapers. Of course, there was no use of ad- vertising any longer for the dog. This couple knew where it had landed for distribution, and it is not likely Miss Bell begrudged Mr. Sewright the poz- tion of her Scotch terrier he had used for nourishment. The call for ‘“hot dog” is at times more real than the caller imagines. EDITORIAL NOTES. Philadelphia has shown that cold water is better as a riot queller than bullets. M. Rockefelier's dividend from ofl is four millions and he still has other dividends. The board of trade which plans a Farmers' week once a year is a trade promoter, too. ‘When prices sing high the average family has to sing low to keep its economics in tun Happy thought for today: If you would not slop over, cultivate the habit of not talking too much. When Taft and Theodore meet, the country will have a first-class exam- ple of how to say “Hello, Bill" The man who stands on his dignity in a crowd doesn't see so much as the man who has no dignity to stand on. The Atlanta Constitution gives no- tice that it does not favor the pro- hibition of hypnotism during court- ship. The number of moonshiners being unearthed in Georgia indicates that they know what whiskey is down there. The hen may. know the lay of the land, but she does not know the price of eggs, for if she did she would sing louder. Since Roosevelt is something of a non-conformist, he may have to fore- go the pleasure of an audlence with Pope Leo. Some of the cold-storage eggs un- earthed since the investigations were begun, were too old to have their pedigree traced~ The day has finally arrived when a Dakota divorce is not recognized in the courts of New York.

As an old Norwich divine said not so many years ago, “He is better acquainted here.” Domestic and Mental Disorders. On the same day that one of the bachelor girls who write for news- papers declared that those who would restrict women more generally to do- mestic occupations and surroundings ought not to forget that “the by far largest percentage of inmates of our insane asylums come from the ranks of those women relegated to house- keeping exclusively,” a very different opinion was expressed by Prof. Max G. Schiapp of New York. “le declared that women are largely to blame for the increase in the number of suicides and insane persons in recent years, be- cause they have pushed out into the various industries of a non-domestic character. ‘The New York professor's guess may or may not be good, but it I8 certain that the bachelor girl's appeal to sta- tistics will not stand analysis. It We cannot upset the balances of nature and not snffer in consequence of it in one form or another, The Philadelphia Times tells the warring labor clements that the quick- est way to good results is to stop «ll tioting. This is wisdom. seems to be based on forgetfulness of the fact that many more women give their time and labor to housekeeping than thé whole host of their sisters who follew other vocations. Naturally most of the victims of insanity or any oOther disease of general distribution through the workl come from the class which contains the majority of all the women in the country.—Cleveland Leader. 5 sonot ooy oon mm-sfia Tihave been thin&;' d the man ing against jgar stand, *“of what I think I should do if I were f magnate with a double chin id a yearning for the earth with a around it.” ell, ‘what would you do?” asked the clgar man. “I said I had been thinking of what It I should do,” returned the cus- tomer with dignity. *“I think the first thing would be to get rid of the desire to own the earth.
