(Written'Specially for The Bulletin’) - it isn’t uncommon to hear the asser- tion from farmers that “there ain’t ne money in farmin’, any mere” Ive heard it: youve heard itz we've all heard i g Which made quite interesting to me the statement of a big and successful westerner, the other day, that ome of the most hopeful signs of the times to him was the fact that thousands of bright, sound, manly young fellows, who- belong to the class that used to fling themselves into the maelsirom of “business,” were now going into farm.. ing, of choice. “Because,” explained he, “they see that there is a better chance for better profits in farming than in almost any other open form of honestly managed business” please note that he says ‘& chance,” not an assured certainfy. Considering these things, what do you think of ii, neighbor? Does it strike you as being within gunshot of the truth? Or do you look upon it stmply as the “guff” of some theorist “talking through his hat?® I dom’t per- somally know the gentleman who made the statement. But he is a prachca]l out-in-the-fields farmer. and he has The reputation of being 4 rather, un- wsually good one. For one, I am not inclined to dismiss his statement with lafty contempt. I fancy that he knows more about both farming and busi- ness than I do. And it is not always | Judicious for the grammar-school boy to pass final judgment on the Know- ledge of the college professor. In fact, the only leadership ,the only autheri- ty, the only aristocracy I bow to is the leadership, the authority, the aristo- cracy of knowledge. The Man Who Xnows is the man to follow. This man whom I quoted has a record and a reputation which fndicate.that he real- }y knows what he is talking about. Let's think over his assertion a few minutes. Te begin with ,we all agree that very few farmers make much money. The most of us have what little we possess rather because we have saved the pennies than because we have made the dollars. Yet almost every community has within its ‘knowledge ene or two farmers who have become rich. They stand out like _isolated peaks, rising above a level of medio- crity and some swamps of failure. Please remember we're talking about ‘business success, profit-taking ,money- making success, just now. We all wegt to school together; we all grew up to- gether; we've all been farming togeth- er. Yet these few have made money, while the rest of us have been hard put to it to make a living. Such men didn’t, as a rule, start with better farms than we others. ‘They didn't, as a rule, start with more capital. They didn’t as a rule, stand at the head of their district schools. ‘Why, then, have they acquired bank accounts, while we have only acquired lame backs? Py | think | have an answer to that question. If you've a better one, you can chuck mine into the woodbox and keep your own. My idea is that a few peopie succeed eminently at farm money-making, just as a few succeed eminently at business money-making, because they have a special gift for that one thing, and devote aMl “their thoughts and all their energies to it. In precisely the same way a majority of those who go into farming, like 2 majority of those who go into busi- Tess, fail to make money because they either lack the money-grabbing spirit, or fall to go at it single-eved and with their whole hearts. Don't forget, please, that the busi- ness history of this country is blotted thick with the records 'of business failures. Don't forget that, of every twenty men who start in business, nineteen actually “peter out and either go into bankruptcy or the bread line. Dont forget that the few . multimil- lionaires of the business world _are about as rare exceptions, in that field, as the few big farmers are In theirs! And, of those few muitimillionaires, how many have made their millions by “honest management? Not even the gentleman whim I have quoted would pretend that there is as much money to anybody n honest farming as in wrecking railroads and impoverishing small &tockholders—as in crushm:l out competition by the aid of boughten legislatures and bribed judges—as In tampering with scales and measures— as in buying damaged second-guality. goods at half-price and selling them to innocent buvers for fancy firsts—as in working helpless girls of 15 from 7 in the morning to 9 at night for $3 a week, and compelling them to pay out of that for the sewing machines they use and the ice water they drink. We're not talking of piracies and ‘Against Substitutes- GettheWell-Known d Package’ HORLICK'S MALTED MILK Made In the and ' Milk plant In the We do not make “milk products™— Skim Milk, Condensed Milk, etc. But the Original- HORLICK'S MALTED MIL Made from full and the |;|‘l_re. -cream milk plunderings of that sort: we're talk- ing ’M business “honmestly managed.’y I think, if the records were obtain- able, we should find that, even in the past, the percentage of farmers who have succeeded—in the money-making semse alone of that word—is just about s great as the percentage of busipess men who have succeeded. I think we should find that the percent- age of business men who have failed is fully as- great as the percentage of farmers who have failed. Leaving out the big buccapeers of business, of course. A Some people take to money-making as & duck takes to water. And some do mot. Dave Rankin used to admit that he was “a twister” in money mat- ters, even when a young man. And he “twisted” over $3,000,0000 out of farm- ing, raising corn and fattening steers and hogs in Missourl. So far ag I know he was never accused of any dis- bonesty. He was simply a money maker by instinct and traininz. Very few men in business have made any more, with less suspicion against their methods. It looks to me as if the question be- fore the average young man was rather one of what he may be fitted for and may be most desirous of. 1f he really wants to make money, more than any- thing else, he can make it, either at farming or at business. All ke has to do is to think, talk and dream money and work for it all the time like the very Old, Scratch. David Rakin went barefoot every summer of his life till he was 28 and had two children, be- cause he would rather spend money for corn and for steers than for boots and shoes. He wasn't a “stingy” man; his| family had as many comforts as their neighbors; but he himself ¢ared more for the money for his steers than for bare feet and stone bruises. He had his choice and took it. When he had got his money, he gave 1t away by the hundred’ thousand. It wasn't the pos- session of it he craved, but the “fun” of making it. Right there is the difference tween folks. It wouldn't seem pleasure to me to go barefooted every summer fog, the sake of saving a few dollars to put into another steer. For which reason— smong others—I shall never have $3,- 000,000! ‘There are a whole lot of us in that same boat. We want money— ch, yes, of course, who doesn't?>—but we want several other things quite as much _and, for the time being, a| l-e-e-tJ1-e bit more. So we get those other things and let the mopey go. Re- sult, by and by we are short of money and the David Rankins are rolling it up. * in this very hard-shelled old world and these very strenuous vears, one| race is about all any one of us can at- tend to at a time. We can’t compete on the track in the 2.04 class and in the plowing match back of the grandstand at the same moment and with the same team. Not even a trained circus-rider can ride two horses at once, if one is galloping up Washington street and the other is cantering down Broadway. You've got to know where you're going and ‘why you're going there, and you've got to_put everything that is in you— everything—into the task of getting there. If it's money you're after, money alone, you can make it on the farm, end you know it. But you can’t make either on the farm or anywhere else- ot by “honest management,” that is —unless you hold it the end of your| life; the one object always before you. i ‘TRe public utilities eunlr.. ter careful l-.;lflf‘im es preferrsd by Hewitt, of Mystic, that erning the movement of railroad. at the New London station violated by the New York," New V- en and Hartford company, has given decision that there was no fagramt viclation of rules, but that the mat- ters compTained of were absolutely necessary under the conditions that existed at the time, the moving of one train while another was at a standstill, was made with due caution and that no damage could have pos- sibly resulted. Attorney Hewitt and witnesses of his own selection gave testimony before the commissioners and the real situation was et by railroad employes and to satisfaction of the commission. New Londoners who are theroughly familiar with conditions at the station, its dangers and the precautions takem for public safety, have made no com- piaint of violation of rules to the commission. This may be due to a lack ef observation and a duliness in detection of violations, therefore it is probably necessary for the attorney from Mystic to guard the interests of the public at the New London station. The commission bas warned.the rail- road company to exercise more tham ordinary caution at all times and un- der all circumstances owing to the dangerous conditions caused by t present layout at the station which includes the Groton ferry crossing. It is just a little bi ising that in view of the semi-official allegation that intoxicating liquor is mot sold on Sunday that, @s a rule, more cases of intoxication are called to the bar in the police court on Mondays than om any other -day of the week Many men are seen going into places that are under suspicion of being places where intoxicating liquors are being sold contrary to law, sober when they go in and under the influence whem they come out. As the police know this to be fact it must be that the visitors simply go just inside the door- way and drink from bottles, liquor ob- tained the night before. Were there positive proof of law violation of course the police would make arrests and prosecution would follow. Therefore it must be accept- ed as fact that booze is mot sold in this city on Sundays. The police admit that the circum- stances are peculiar but that it is ex- tremely difficult to convict on cireum- stantial evidence, though it be almost as paesitive as direct evidence, Still in the minds of just a few who are not in the least influenced by the opinion of the police or others higher up there is some booze sold here on the Lord’s day, but they would not register a kick against the legal business’ if it were not condu 50 ogznly. Some chap about the size of Shakespeare said long age something that sounded like none are so blind as those that won’t see and nome so deaf as those that won’t hear. The citizens of New Londen in city: meeting assembled will act upon the recommendation of the court of com- mon_council to appropriate the sum of $30,000 for the extension of Wash- ington into Reed street, and to make alterations in Howard street near Bank and also near the intersection with Willetts avenue, to complete the so-called direct drive to the Psquot section. This plan has been projected for many years by James D. Lynch, owner of property in the Pequot sec- tion ad who has developed that sec- tion perhaps more than any one per- son. The change would be one of marked improvement, the main feat- ure_of which would be the widening of Howard steet at the two points mentioned. The connecting of Wash- ington and Broad street would simply mean a shortening of the route by about one thousand feet and do away with the sharp turn from Coit into Reed street. And for this the citizens are asked to appropriate the big sum There you have your cheice. The 3 farming world never was fuiler of op-| ©f, $30,000! 7 portunities than it is today for the| The direct drive would tend to man who can see and use them. Em- erson once said, in effect, that no mat- ter what you make, if it be merely shoe-pegs and your:shop a cabin in the wilderness, the world will wear a path to your door, if only vou make better shoe-pegs than anyone else. No one ever made big money at farming, or at anything else, byjjust doing the things everyone else doés in the aver- aze awy. The business man who at- tains great wealth usually does it by striking, out a new path for himself: the young farmer may well do the same. Do something that no other farmer Goes: or do it in a better way than any other, and Emerson’s world will come to vour door to leave its money, if it has to drive its automo- Diles over a stump-lot and throush the brook. .

Thefe are now three almost direct Highwas of 0c Feauot section by way ontauk and Pequot ave- ues what actually - needed re than this drive is an provement of the sieets that inter- Sect the avenues, nearly all of them b in poor condition and not in ‘keeping with the avenues or Streets of the city generally. These sireets should receive the atteation of ihe street committee before the opening of spring and provision made to put them in passable condition. ~After 1his aid other needed work aloxg that me is completed it will probably be time uflm to shorten ‘one of the drives to the Pequot by a few huadred feet and make the drive more straight than at the present time. In the meantime the public will not be in the least inconvenienced. The old-time German lager beer saloon, the place of good cneer and where sandwiches and beer was the principal stock in trade and where’| the Germans assembled and sang songs of Fatherland, and where there was never disturbance to mar the pleasures are now among the things that have gone in New London and perhaps forever. Even families gath- ered at these places of pleasure and the ing bad tendency to hold together the old traditions of na- tive land and some of the customs and without lessening the love for the stars and stripes and all the flag represents. The saloon business was conducted on a different scalé than today and time has made no improve- ment in the general conduct of the business. There were many thogough German families in New Loadon-in the years that have gone but now they are few, and far between in com- parison. ¥ In the days during and following the civil war and-for a few years be- fore were many German fami- lies here the heads of which were of foreign birth and they brought some of the customs of their couniry with them and tried thelr perpetuation. They ‘had their singing societies and turnverin, their picnics in Lewis woods, now Riverside park, being the recreative events of the year,w A feat- ure was the athletic aitractions which equalled a real circus performance, the acrobats and gymnasts being members of the society that had' hold social times together and give gymnasium in Dart’s hall in Bradley street, Now there is a German soci- ety here of small membership, who a little picmic once a year but that is about all. Here are some of the proprietors of the old-time German lager saloons that some of the old tads of today paironized when the Germans had high rating in the city: Frederick Emmerich, Jacob Hammell,. Weéndell Kopp, Joseph Schriever, Engelbert Sautér, Christian_Goff, Gilbert§Goos. Herman Kaiser, Theodore, John, and Charles Kunzelman. The only survi- vor is Engelbert Sauter, the oldest 0dd Fellow in New London and one of the bravest of men that served in the Civil war, He was color bearer in the Twelfth Connecticut and was among the first to step to the front and centre when a call was made for volunteers for the proposed Forlorn Hope expedition. There is encouraging prospect that there is to be a hotel in the Pequot col- any to take the place of the old Pe- quot house that was burned several years ago and since which time there has been no strictly summer hotel in New London, which claims promi- nence as a summer resort. A summer hotel syndicate is to lease the May estate, a short distance south of the old Pequot house site, and during the coming summer use the largé house as an inn and should conditigns war- rant convert the house into a hotel by adding about seventy Tooms. It is a most delightful location and' the grounds are not excelled in that really ea utiful section of New London. The house is several hundred feet back from Pequot avenue on the knoll of wavy lawn surrounded by just enough trees to add to the gemeral attractiveness. The property comprises about seven acres of land with servants quarters and barns besides the big house. It is understood that the syndicate takes a lease with privilege of purchase within a specified time.

Eye Specialist’s Game Blocked. What appeared like an attempt to swindle occurred here last Tuesday morning. A slim, smooth faced young man in a top bugey drawn by a gray horse drove into town and stopped at one of the stores. He claimed to be an eye specialist and optician, said he had been called here by someone, but had lost her card, but it was either a maiden lady or widow, he couldn’t re- member which. Were there apy such ladies about here? Of course, he was given the necessary information and he at once called npon an unmarried woman, introduced himself, examined her eyes and told her the glasses she was using were nothing but common window glass. He had something very much -better. 1le would fit her with a pair of his glasses for $22.60.
