IT IS WELL (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) Somebody once remarked upon how much “The dunce who roam Excels the dunce who has been kept at heme.” has been sent to You and I, brother, are held by intan- gible but very secure walls of du prisoners within a limited horizon. We are not akewed to roam, much more than our Jerseys and our Southdowns, beyond the pasture-bars. Such being our case I, for one, am always inter- ested in reading about things I am not allowed personally to observe and in- apect. Since I may not wander abroad “strange countries for to see,” 1 can at least find some instruction in reading what is printed about them. A few things | have read, the past week, in western newspapers, about the dci of certain western furmes, have interested m= greatly, and I hope will prove suggestive to some others as weil, if 1.pass them on. Of course there is much in western farm life which is so different from the condi- tions to which we are accustomed that it ism't always either possible or wise to attempt close imitation. On he other hand, they certaintly do oc- “asionally wipe our spectacles for us. In which latter case, it is better judg- ment for us to be thankful than to get mad about it For instance, take the matter of rold-mn.kmg. Probably all of wou know the history of the “split-log drag.” by which thousails of miles of once bad dirt roads in the middle west have been transformed—made and kept good roads. The thing was devised by a farmer, is used by farm- ors and does not only cheaper but bet- ter work than any high-priced jiga- maree ever turned out from any fa tory or foundry But of course its t.se is limited 1o dirt roads, Kk There ar times when no dirt road is wholly sat- Isfactory.

Ancther western story which inter- ested me was that of a big swamp near Karistadt, Minn. It covers a | Bood many thousand acres and two | vears ago people were beginning to | wonder whether ‘it would ever pay to | drain it and mike farms from it. It | is covered with a thin bog turf, out of which grew a few coarse weeds and a tremendous lot of what is locally known as “wire grass” This turf is so thin that much care had to be tak- en to prevent horses and cattle from | wandering Into it, as their feet would promptly. cut through and they would become hopelessly ingulfed in the un- ng mud and ooze. About two years ago it was discov- ered that this “wi s” was a almost perfect material for certain grass mattiogs which are in large de- mand just now. Whereupon alil talk of draining the swamp ceased. The bog, just as it is, seems to be about the most valuable land in the vicinity. Already it ‘has supplied some 3,000 or | 4000 tons cf dried grass, is giving employment to several hundred per- sons and scores of teams, has resulted in the investment of about $150,000 in buildings, etc., and promises to afford for years to come the most re- munerative occupation in the county By fastening “bog shoes” to the horses’ feet, it has been found possi- ble to use them in cutting the grass and hauling it off, Now | don't happen to know of any swamps in_Connecticut which produce a grass suitable for matting, nor do I know of anybody who would buy and use it if ther were such swamps. But wire grass isn't the only waste thing and nuisance in the world which may have in it the possibility of use- fulness. There are a good many un- regarded products of nature, which she is bringing forth on all our hills | and in all our swamps which a fuller knowledge will some time show us real and practical use for. Doubtless you've all heard old people declare their belief that nothing was made | without a purpose. In my part of the untry the old-fashioned erb-doce 5" used to assert that every plant was good for something—if we only knew just what. 1 don’t really know whether they were right or not. But i T hope they were. I hope that we shall keep on discovering new uses for I sorts of plants, till at last the time shall come that we will cease to talk of veeds” because there will be nothing growing which won't be worth while for someihing. Just between you and me, I'd he | mighty glad to have some scientific gent discover a profitable use for quack-grass, and pusley, and pigweed, and Canada thistle, and burdock, and ragweed, and wila carrot, and daisies, and stinkweed, and hawkweed, and a few other of the apparently natural crops my land wants to produce. I could grow almost any of them much | easier and cheaper than corn and cab- bage and potatoes and onions. I think—mind you, i don’t assert it as an actual weighed-out fact, but T think T could have cut ahout fourteen tons to the 2cre of that pigweed which | the botanists name Amaranthus retro- | flexus, this fall, in my various corn patches. And almost any vear I can produce ~ quack-grass and pusley j enough in one small garden to keep {a good sized factory running—if I could find one to use them. Perhaps it will be a long time be- | fore these and kindred weeds become “staple” crops. Perhaps such a time will never come. Dut I have no doubt that there are uses for very many of the things on our farms and in our swamps and under our h if only we could biing them to eves of the right men. That Minnesota wire- grass had been growing on that amp for thousands of vears, regard- ed only as a nuisance on waste land, ill the man who happened to know what wire grass was good for hanced along and saw its possibili- ties, It isn’t likely that many of us will find valuable mines on our farms, nor | weeds capabie of ly a factory with needed raw material. But some of | us may yet do one or the other of | these very things—if we only keep, our eyes open and our brains working. Not many miles from me is a hill which was for years regarded as sim- ply worthless. ~ It was so steep and rocky as to be unfit even for pasture, and ‘so soil-less that it wouldn't grow but one day a quarryman with in his head chipped off a bit of He saw something in it that seemed to him “different.” So he took it to a friend with some capital, and they had it analyzed.

NEW LONDON TO EQUALIZE TAX RATE| YASHNGTON COUNTY, £ 1 The Taxes not Likely to be Raised From 16 to 20 Mills THE ASSESSMENTS TO BE INCREASED An Appropriation of $1,000 for a Town Clock—A New Steam Fire Engine Provided for—Rev. Mr. Bixler of the Second Congregational Church has a Call to the Chair of Theology and Christian Doctrine in Atlanta Seminary Which New London Hopes he will Decline. Senator-Mayor Bryan ¥. Mahan is surely the Man on Horseback, for he has unsaddled the men who directed affairs in New London in the past, and is now the accepted leader of the whole people, with, of course, an ex- ceptional few, and without regard to political affiliation. It has been prac- tically -demonstrated that he does things and usually succeeds in all he undertakes in a public way, and with- out regard to the character of the opposition at the early stages of the game, for it evolves into a clear case of meeting the enemy and going with him. Prior to the ci meeting that acted upon the annual budget there was opposition of apparent strength led by Former Governor Waller, a nat- ural leader of men, and who on many occasions has swerved men from set to his way of thinking and ts through city meetings . Conditions seem to have changed. Mr. Waller and a few other citizens of prominence were openly opposed to matters in the latest bud- get and aired their views in the pub- lic press and at semi-official gather- ings of citizens, but when city meet- ing day came around these men were as mum as the traditional oyster. Bv- ery solitary item in the budget, that carried with it expenditures in excess of the estimated receipts, went through without oppesition after the way had Dbeen oiled by the crafty mavor. At the very opening of the meeting the mavor made a nice little speech in explaining the real situation, and soon removed the belief that if the budget prevailed the tax rate would be in- creased from sixteen to twenty mills. He assured the citizens that the own- ers of their own little homes were already amply taxed and were bear- ing their full share of the burden of taxation, but that it was the intention to raise the grand list about $100,000 by a more equal system of taxation. Let the city meeting adopt the budgel and the assessors would be required to do the rest. Hardly had the mayor concluded his telling little speech when vote was submitted and adopted re- questing the court of common council to name an honoary committee to ad- vise and confer with the board of as- sessors and board of relief relative to the taxable properiy of the city with view to the equalization of taxation. As indicated, the committee is advis- ory in its character, and it could not be otherwise, as under the law no committee of the court of common council has the authority to command the assessors. They are an elective and not an appointive body and have as much authority to direct the alder- men of the city as to their duty as the aldermen have to direct ome of the assessors, One of the new items in the budget was the appropriation of one thousand dollars for a clock to replace the ven- erable and now unreliable timepiece that has been located in the steeple of the First Chu of Christ since the edifice was built and which has been out of Kkilter for the past decade. The recommendation for this apporpria- tion is due to the persistent efforts of Alderman James F. O'Leary, who has been earnestly urging the council to favorable action for a new clock since he became chairman of the pub- lic property committee. The project has been pizeonholed for short periods but the aldermaun who represents in part the Fourth ward, knowing the need for the clock, and the black eye to progress caused by the misleading and intermittent time teller, persisted until victory perched on the peak of the banner pole. Another new item in the budget is the aporopriation of six_thousand five hundred dollars for a NEW STEAM FIRE F INE. It is said that there is a piccaninny in that little pile and now it is the topic of conversation wherever volunteer firemen congre- gate. It was agitated by the chief en- gineer and othes | | s for years that there ) have been receive was need for a steam fire engine in the Northwest section where there is low water pressure, and it was there where the Nameaug steamer was lo- cated for years before it was finally condemned. There is no doubt but the great majority who voted in the city meeting supposed they were vot- ing for a steam fire engine to be lo- cated in that section, especially as the salaries were increased $300 to pay for the s of an engineer and fire- man for the steam fire engine. ow there is a well defined story in circulation that although a steam fire engine was plainly specified in the hudget, that instead of the purchase of ar epparatus of that description for the Northwest, a modern automo- bile and hose and chemical wagon is to be purchased and placed in a more centrally located fire house, not that such an apparatus is needed there more than a steam fire engine on the Northwest, but that the influence is greater from a political standpoint. It argued by the opponents of the scheme that the citizens voted the ap- propriation for a steam fire engine and that the court of common council or committee tWereof has no right to vert that appropriation to any other pose. pu Rev. James Wiison Bixler, for twen- ty years the satisfactory pastor of the Second Congregational church, and one of the most popular preachers that ded in the uplifting of the peo- ple in New London, has been invited to accept the chair of theology and “hristian doctrine in Atlanta semi- V. Th2 reverend gentleman is con- sidering the matter and it is the al- most unanimous wish of the people without regard to denomination that he will decide to remain right here among his friends, where his influ- ence for good is incalculable. He is of the tyve of Christian gentlemen that does not consider it essential to true piety to eo about the streets with bowed head, with solemn visage and looking neither to the right nor the left in crder to demonstrate his calling. On the contrary, he shows the exem- plification of true Christian happiness iti_his sunny disposition, his cheery salutation and his free and open good fellowship, Dr. Bixler is interested not only in the spiritual but in the physical progress of New London and is of the class of citizens that cannot be spared from the community, He is ever ready to respond to calls to aid as a clergyman outside of his toral duties and has favored with nce many public, semi-public ate functions, including some of a purely social tendency. At much personal incenvenience he bas assist- ed te make successful by his presence d his speech banquets given by local organizations that are not in the clos st touch with the church he so ably represents, which is evidence of his, democratic make-up and which adds so much to his populari On the oc- of casion of the fiftieth anniversary one of thé local fire companies, Rev. Mr. Bixler offered the prayer at the uct and responded to the toa: to the churches. Fle was so much ap preciated by the members that on a subsequent Sunday evening the mem- bers arranged to attend the Second Congregational church in a body, something unusual in New London and on that occasion the reverend gentle- man gave a sermon aporopriate to the oocasion, and which had' influenice with the firemen. Although chis occurrence was ten cars ago, it has been the subject of avpreciative conversaticn ever since among the firemen who attended the service. This is only one of the many instan, where Pastor Bixler made life friends outside of the membership of the Second Congregational church. Rev. Mr. Bixler has declined offers to g0 cleewhere since he came to New London and his friends hope that this offer will b nks and filed aw iates th: rejected with | with those that | before.

Washing is a small job for any women if she uses Fels-Naptha in cold or lukewarm water, and lets it take the place of boiling and hard rubbing.” Dirt is the home of germs. You gather them in the dust that settles on gc:;: clothes, in the mud of the streets, soiled car seats and in many other places. You want to kill these germs in the weekly wash, or they may cause trouble. Fels-Naptha soap is a germicide. With it, boiling is not necessary either to destroy germs or wash the clothes. In cold or lukewarm water, Fels-Naptha makes short work of dirt, and disease germs cannot live in the same tub. Be sure and use Fels-Naptha soap the Fels-Naptha way—no hot water. WEEKAPAUG.
