' Telephons €42-3 i street schools close today Something over a year ago there was a public spirited Yankée running a. lit- tle farm. down in eastern Connecticut (Ledyard). The editor of an agricul- tural weekly published at Augusta had resigned. In his search for a successor the business manager had written to a Connecticut editor who chanced to be a friend of the “insurgent” farmer, and as an ovtcome of the correspondence Christopher M. Gallup sold out and moved to the Pine Tree State, says the Boston Globe. ‘Within a very short time the weekly took on a new lease of life. HEvery- day farm problems were discussed from tho farmer's viewpoint. Questions were asked in bold type that stfprted discus- sions all over the state. tories came in telling of the raw deals that farmers had been getting, and all of them seemed to track back to one source— “rotten politics.” The farmer-editor became intensely interested in his new work. It took this Yankee farmer-éditor about four weeks traveling about the state to see what had been going on and to make up his mind as to what the pcople really needed, viz., the op- portunity for voting on something be- gides the rum question. Upward of 60,000 Patrons of Hus- bandry are recorded as members of the grange in Maine, and the head of this great orgamnization was the next recruit eniisted. His address to the annual convention that year contained a bitter arraignment of political con- ditions in the state and some very emphatic observations regarding direct nominations. Here the farmer-editor did some clever work as press agent, and the address appeared in most of the daily papers, and several of themn featured the direct primary part of it in the headlines. This aroused interest and created a good dzal of favorable senti- ment and before it had a chance to die down Mr. Gallup invited a selected list of progressive men from different parts of the state to meet in Augusta to dis- cuss the situation. Here the sentiment crystalized in the shape of a direct primary league, which was organized to draft a thor- oughgoing direct primary law and campaign for the 12,000 signatures necessary to introduce it under the initiativ 3 Now the Augusta weekly was owned by men who were also large stock- holders in sundry public service corpo- rations. Naturally their interest in ag- riculture or the welfare of their sub- seribers was secondary, and the prin- cipal reason for maintaining the paper at a loss year after year was because it was the cheapest way of obtaining a certain number of votes. Now, this idea of stirring up the farmers to think about something be- sides land, stock and crops 'and get- ting them to figure out why they re- ceived so littie for their labor failed to appeal to the interests behind the publication. Sundry broad hints were dropped in vain, and shortly after the n2w year the farmer-editor was abruptly fired. ‘d In a ve.l& few days he was hard at work for e one progressive daily in the state, striving for reform more determinedly than ever. The relapse of the weekly to its former policy opened the farniers’ eyes as nothing se could-have done. Invitations to visit granges and other gatherings came from 1 directions, and on every possible occasion the au- diences were plainly told what it was that Maine needed, and the steps nec- essary to get it. When the midsummer conventions of 1910 came neither party dared to omit a direct primary plank in making its platform. This dual indorsement took the ques- tion out of politics in one sense, and made it possibie for the grange leaders to glve the direct primary formal sup- port. Meanwhile the bill had been drawn with great care and printad and finally the petitions were sent out all over the state. Twelve thousand names are a lot, but they were coming in nicely when an unforsesn difficulty was encountered. The average man is not accustomed to executing documents, so a great many of the petitions -came back without having been verificd in due form. £ On this account many could not be used, and as the legislature convened it looked as if the campaign must finally fail. Gleefully, the politicians announced that the woters of Maine ware not ready for a full-fledged direct primary, so that it would have to be tried out experimentally first. But they reckoned without their host. Colonjal history records several names in the Gallup family whose bearers died with their boots on. The spirit seems to.run in the blood vet. Instead of letting the bill go by de- fault, this young scion hustled around among the progressive citizens. raised a few hundred dollars, put paid can- vassars at work in several of the cities. circulated petitions himself, and finall; got the balance of the necessary names. The bill was filed with the secretary of state.in February, and under the constitution thé legislaturs must either pass it without amendment or submit it to popular vote. Meanwhijle this effective agitator goes peacefully on his way, making friends with evervbody and doing whatever is possible to promote thea comman goo: Mr. Gallup is a graduate of the Free Academy and well known in this vi- cinity. - CREDITORS PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY. Desired That Levin & Levin of Nor- wich Be Adjudged Bankrupt. Michael Levin of Norwich, J. Lau- rence Raymond of Montville and Moses A. Solomon of Norwich have flled a creditors’ petition in the distrfct court of the United States asking that Mor- ris Levin and Morris M. Levin, who at one timé conducted business in Nor- wich under the firm name of Levin & Levin, be adjudged bankrupt. The pe- titioning craditors say that on Jan. 11 the Levins admitted that they were unable to pay their debt and that they were willing to be adjudged bankrupt. Michael Levin says that he has one claim for $1,900, money he loanad, and another claim for $175, money he had to pay as an endorser on a note. Mr. Raymond's claim is for $650 for cattle sold and delivered, and the claim of Moses J, Solomon is for $97, money due for grain and other feed. \ NORWICH TOW Supt. and Mrs. E. H.

There was a bar in the large room on the ground floor. Later Peter Lanman owned the build- ing and used it for a hotel The Johnson home stands on a part of what was once the home lot of Capt.
