THAT TIRED FEELING Buggests Grandmother’s Remedy. It's true, the season is here with its sudden changes, and the old idea that we need a blood medicine is not ‘without reason. Too much heavy food has caused a torpid liver, slug- lt:..b.lood, and a weak, tired out Sulphur, cream of tartar and mo- lasses was grandmother’s remedy but that has long ago been displaced by Vinol, a combination of the two most world famed tonics, namely, the med. fcinal curative elements of the cod Liver, without oll, and iron for the biood.

CONNECTICUT PEOPLE. Among Foreign White Stock English and Centic Group Make Up Largest Proportion in 1910. The iargest element in the state of Connecticut among the 703,248 persons of foreign white stock in 1910 was the English and Centic (including Irish, Scotch or Welsh) group. These lan- guages (English and Celtic) were the mother tongues of 276,803 persons, or 25 per cent. of the total white popula- tion of the state numbering 1,098,897. The German lansuage was the mother tongue of the next largest group, num- bering 91,205, or 8.3 per cent. of tne total white population: the Italian oup was third, numbering 90,523, or 2 per cent.; the Polish fourth with 5,346, or 5 per cent.; the French fiftn, numbering 51,193, or 4.7 per cent.; the Yiddish and Hebrew sixth, numbering $6.860, or 3.4 per cent.: and the Swed- ish seventh, with 36,005, or 3.3 per cent.

At the end of a three hour meeting in town hall on Saturday afternoon, with an attendance of 300, temporary organization of the New London Coun- ty Improvement league was effected, a partial list of the 23 directors was elected, and the meeting adjourned for one week G meet again next Saturday at the same time and place. At this meeting the list of directors will be completed and the other officers elect- ed. A battery of well informed and force- ful speakers, as one of those on the programme had described them, laid out the plan and advantages of the Improvement league and its achievements in other places, so that the decision to organize was quickly arrived at when the time came, and the movement.was given enthusiastic support. It was the outgrowth of the proposal of the part of the state to ap- propriate some money, $1,000 in this case, to the establishment of a farm bureau of New London county, a plan which had been taken up by the Nor- wich Business Men’s association and brought to its successful culmination at this Saturday meeting. Seated by Towns. Those attending the meeting came from all the towns of the county and found places designated for them in the hall, as the seats had had the town names placed upon them under the di- rection of the reception committee, of which Gilbert L. Hewitt was chair- man. The following committee from Norwich grange, No. 172, Patrons of Husbandry, wearing the grange shes- es, acted as ushers: Mrs. Maud E. Blss, Mrs. Mary E. Conant, Mrs. Charles Hagberg, Mrs. C. A. Gager, Jr., Mrs. W. O. Rogers, Mrs. E. C. Jewett, Mrs. Jacob Gallup, Miss Ella C. Lester, Mrs. Ambrose Sullivan, Mrs. Gertrude Toot- hill, Mrs. Abner A. Robinson, Mrs. Mary E. Phillips. Shortly after 2 o'clock Woodbury O. Rogers, chairman of the farm bureau committee of the Business Men's as- sociation, called the meeting to order, and B. F. Williams was nominated for temporary chairman and took the place at the desk amid applause. He spoke briefly of the honor he felt in being called to preside over such a fine gathering of the sons and daugh- ters of New London county, and as he introduced the various speakers of the afternoon had an apt work of intro- duction for each one which put the gathering in good humor. E. C. Jewett, who has bheen secretary of the farm bureau committee, was made secretary of the meeting. Welcome from Mayor Murphy. Mayor T. C. Murphy cordially ex- tended a welcome to the city of Nor- wich, and said it was his hope to sce the New London county organization soon ranking as the first in the state, although second in point of organiz: tion. Speaking of the difference tween business conditions now and be- vears ago, he said that there had been similar advancement in farming, and he was glad to see this organization to be formed to bring to the farmers the latest instruction and help. that was available for them through the service and knowledge of experts. C. D. Jarvis of Storrs. C. D. Jarvis of Storrs Agricultural college, who is in charge of the iield work pertaining to farm bureaus in the state, followed the mayor, and in his opening words extended a general invitation to an orcharding demonstra- tions to be given on April 6th at the orchard of Elmer R. Pierson at East Great Plain. The farm bureau movement, he said, was rather new in the north, but not so recent in the south, where over 800 counties were organized, and there are 180 counties in the northern states or- ganized. The movement is a co-opera- tive one and for the benefit of all, and one of its main points is the agricul- tural expert who would be in charge, and whose slogan would be to help the farmers help themselves. Results are expected from this movement which will justify the expenditure of the pub- lic money appropriated for it. The ag- ricultural college is ready to aid in financing this movement now, but the ideal way would be for the farmers to_insist upon financing it for them- | selves. and when the worth of it is | demonstrated it is hoped that those | benefited will relieve the state of the | financial assistance now to be given. | Just at present the federal government { has no money to furnish towards this What helps the farmer, helps the merchants, the speaker said, so that this support of farm bureau work was of particular interest to the entire | community. Shore Line Electric President. Why he became interested in this farm bureau work was told by Presi- dent Robert W. Perkins or the Shore Line Electric Railway company, who was introdused as the next speaker. He said that he had learned that in Connecticut there had been 800,000 i allowed to go back to a ate of nature and that Connecticut was buyving farm | products outside of the state to the | amount of $60,000,000, and that the | United States was falling behind in ag- | ulture.. What this bureau is start- ing out to do is to heip to make the more efficient. It will be | farmer through co-operation, of which the alue for the agriculturalists has been | proved in Denmark, Belgium and oth- { er_Europeon countries. | Mr. Perkins went on to show how the only countries that the United Stat as ahead of in agriculture were Siberia, Mex Uruguay 3 and then, leaving the financ he | #aid that he felt there was an obliga- tion upon us to provide for the future weifare of the people, and no way | could be be better than providing for them better food and plenty of it. America has three-fifths of the tillable land of the world. and will have to support three-fifths of the human race, and we should privode for them a bountiful table. Secretary of Jewish Farmars. In a brief but earnest talk J. W. | Pincus of New York, who is se | of the Jewish Farmers' federation America, interested the meeting as he | referred to his own coming to America {23 years ago and locating in Colches- ter and he said that it was evident that if it were not for the foreigners who come in there would be still more abandoned farms in Connecticut. He spoke of the success of their organ- ization and of the financial aid which they had been able to give and said that he could vouch for the Jewlish Farmers' federation lending any heip possible towards the New lLondon county farm bureau. Boston Railroad Man. Mew thickly pepulated New England was particularly favored in having trolley frelght ervice was referred to by W. H. Seeley of Boston, munager of the New England lines industrial bureau, Who Was the next speaker. He sald that it was a conceded fact that the country that neglected its agri- culture was doomed and that New Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S GASTORIA —_— Sheh g A England furnished only about 25 per i cent. of the agricultural product which it consumed. He spoke of statistics which showed that agricultural pro- ducts increased 50 per cent. between | value when raised and value when sold to ultimate consumer, and he predict- ed that the day was coming when sell- | ing organizations would remedy much | of this’ Talk on Road Work. State Highway Commissioner C. J. Bennett of Hartford, who was next in- troduced, referred to the poliey of the the smaller roads, while at the same time doing the necessary work on the main trunk lines. He indicated that he believed that there ought to be an advisory board to confer with the state department regarding _what might be called the byways of the state, and when these were improved he believed it would be a big step in the solution of the problem of the abandoned farms of Connecticut. He advised the meeting that the towns could have their roads in much better condition with the money they were spending and he thought it was in the province of the state highway depart- ment to give them advice to show how to spend their money 8o that there would be a_ lowered cost in haulage because roads were better. New London Promises Support. B. E. Rogers of the New London Business Men's assoclation was intro- Quced as a real live wire and he made a bright speech in which he commend- ed the safe and sane enthusiasm, founded upon education, which was being generated upon this subject be- fore the meeting. He spoke of the Boston meeting of the New England Federation of Rural Progress and sald its keynote had been co-operation be- tween the producer and the consumer. Referring to the coming development at New London through the million dollar pier project, he said that as they were about to be made the gate- way 10 the commerce of New England they could not fail to give their hearty support to this county farm bureau. How to Keep Money Circulating. H. O. Daniels of Middletown, who is connected with the state agricultural department, was introduced as a farm demonstrator. He asked the audience to consider why Connecticut didn’t produce the eggs, butter, milk and other farm products, and to think over how much more money would be kept in circulation right among our own communities rather than buymg so much outside the state if the Connec- ticut agriculturists raised what the Connecticut consumers ro-vired. He gave illustrations of what this would mean and said he believed the farmers of the state are already profiting by the advice and assistance that is be- ing given them by the state. He said he believed there was an en movement on foot among the farms of farmers were making be hard to match in dairies and vegetable grow- said he hoped Middiesex would follow XNew London in the formation of a farm orchar ers. H county county bureau. From Department at Washington. L. BE. Dodge of the agricultural de- partment at Washington, being New Ergland representative, was the fol- lowing speaker. He said that the suc- cessful farmer was the real source of information on how to run farms right, and he took up the guestion of how we are to get cheap food. He said it would be because the farmer was providing food in the most effi- cient way of working. It would not be like the farmer who said he had a pretty easy way of earning a living: worked two months in the year and sat with his feet on the st the other ten If the farmer prospers and has add- ed purchasing power, the merchants will share in his prosperity. He told the merchants they had nothing to fear because of the talk of buying agen for if the farmers do buy that and their farm products are e agriculturalist will to spend, and they way better thereby, have more money will spend it with the merchants. Mr. Dodge discussed some of the es- sential qualifications for a county farm agent that the department in Wash- ington looked for. Real hoe-handle ex- perience was a prime requisite, he said, and to this must be added tech- nical knowledge and an acqualntance with business and people that would make him worth from $1,400 to $1,800 the first year, with chances for pro- motion. He will serve evervone alike who has some question that he wants him to dig out. The department con- siders the man merely upon his effi- clency under civil service rules. The county agent ought to have one day a week for office work, but he should not be an office man. He should be right out on the firing line. Mr. Dodge said the county agent should have the ear- nest backing of everybody if the most value was to be obtained from his services, and he estimated that about $2.500 a year would need to be raised for alary and expenses of tne agent. a the county What Has Been Done in Massachu- setts. been Hampden What has aceomplished through the County Tm- provement league in Massachusetts, which has served largely as a pattern for this Néw lLondon county plan was interestingly teld by J. A. Scheuerle, secretary of the Hampden county league. He said that about suburban committee of the Spring- field board of ade organized the Hampden County Improvement league, They recognized the fact that Hamp- den runty had develeped rapidly, in- dustrially, for the last 100 vears, that it had increased in wealth and popu- lation at an almost phenomenal rate and yet had gone back_agriculturally. They felt that by applying the same kind of eficiency to the business of agriculture as had been applied to the industries of the county, the whole situation could be changed and were determined to do for agriculture what had been done for manufacturing, wealth and population It was made a people’s movement— get-together of the farmers and the a vear ago the usiness men who have ever since been taking the responsibility very largely and have really initiated the whole movement. The league asked the T'nited States government and the Jassachusett Agricultural college to articipate the work so that today they have a joint committee composed »f the executive committee of the league, three members representing the Massachusetts Agricultural col- lege and one representing the United States government. This joint com- mittee directs the general policy of the league, The leugue has engaged a general secretary, agricultural wdviser, horti- cuitural adviser, and office manager, who are giving Lhelr entire time to the_work The league ls establishing better farming, better business, better llving in rural communittes, which in time will bring about better living in the city.

The league is endeavering to bring about better farming hy engaging spe- cialtats who go about visiting farmers to discuss farm problems with them, In the last eight and a half months i out soreness, state department to give atteption to | largement | Get a small trial bottle Back hurt you?

It never disappoints and has been recommended for 60 years. the agricultural adviser and horticul- tural adviser visited 657 farms. Mr. Scheuerle gave a large num- ber of examples of what had actually been the results of the work and said that the agricultural industry of Hampden county has an assessed val- uation of $18,000,000 with an annual output of $4,000,000. This entire in- dustry is disorganized—it has no sales or purchasing agents. Any other bus- iness run on this basis would make an absolute failure. Therefore the league is making a strong endeavor to inutroduce business efficiency in the whole agricultural industry. Farmers’ cooperative exchanges are being form- ed. 5 There is springing up in Hampden county a county conscience—all are interested in the work, all are going to be vitally affected by it. New Eng- land must produce more of her food supply if she is to maintain her indus- trial supremacy and continue to be prosperous. The industrial competi- tion in the south and middle west is becoming warmer and warmer. If New England is to continue to import its food largely, she must pay for that food not only the amount to cover the wages that the south and middle west are paying, but she must add to that freight rates, commissions, and the expense of handling the goods so many times and in the end get a poorer pro- duct because not as fresh as the man in the south or west would obtain it. Therefore the laboring man must re- ceive a wage large enough for him to pay this increased cost of food supply. In this respect New England indus- tries are decidedly handicapped for the wage scale Is determined very largely by the price of the food pro- duct. All Should Join Hands. It is therefore certain that the bus- iness man, manufacturer, banker and farmer, as well as the preacher and teacher, should join hands in such a movement and that the organization should be of such a nature that it may develop along the broadest and most fundamental lines. Organization Taken Up. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Scheurle's ringing address, Chairman Williams asked the meeting if it was ready to take up the temporary organization of the New London County Improvement league, which was the name proposed. Expressing some optimistic views of the future of New London county, G. Warren Davis moved to organize, which was seconded by Gideon Dick- enson, and Mr. Shay of Groton ex- pressed his entire accord with the purpose of the organization. The vote to organize was passed and was followed by the reading of the suggested constitution and by-laws by Secretary Jewett, which were adopted. The officers provided for are a pres- ident, first and second vice presidents, secretary and treasurer and 22 direc- tors, one from each of the 21 towns and one from the city of Norwich. The annual dues shall be one dollar, contributing members shall be those who pay more than the annual dues, and sustaining members shall be those who contribute $100 to the league or to any object for which it is working. After some discussion as to how to proceed further, it was directed that the town representatives present hold caucuses in_ a recess of five minutes whi was declared for the purpose of choosinf their town director. Many found it necessary to leave in the meantime, so that there were a number of towns that had no repre- sentative present. It was directed that those who had been on the town com- mittee in working up interest in th farm bureau should arrange to present the town director’s name for the mi ing towns at the meeting next Satur- day. Directors from the Towns. The followin- list of directors was secured and approved by the meetin: Bozrah—Oliver C. Gardner. Colchester— East Lyme—: Franklin—C. B. Davis.
