Walker that may or may not have had relation to the fact that Judge Gardi- ner Greene of Norwich imposed a minimum sentence of fourteen vears and a maximum sentence of fifteen years on a man whom he committed to state prison, says the Hartford Courant. The man’s lawyer asked that he receive a light minimum and a long maximum that the board of parole could use its discretion in the matter. State's Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn said to_the judge: “Recent events have satisfled me that, in doubtful cases, the prison board ought not to be given that lati- tude, and I think this is a case where they ought not to have it."” ‘Whether Judge Greene had the same view as to the prison board as the state’s attorney did not appear, but he promptly fixed the minimum and maximum as outlined.

The blacksmiths put in a bu Thursday for scores of hors smooth shoes found the going so hard in the early morning that teams and wagons of all sorts had to be doned about the city until the s could be put in condition to resist the slippery coating on the roads, the re- sult of the combination of snow that fell Wednesday over night.

The Connecticut Agricultural colleze extension service has just issued a pamphlet of instructions regarding farmers’ institutes. In the instructions given It is stated that the organization or group requesting an institute should appoint the following officers and com- mittee 1, chairman, to be in charge of the institute programme and to pre- side at the meetings; 2, secretary, to arrange for the institute and to se- cure a meeting place: 3, committee of one, to advertise the institute; 4, com- mittea of one, to arrange for trans- portation and’ entertainment of the speakers. It is believed that the institute will be conducted in the most efficient man- ner by the adoption of this plan. The extension service of the Con- mecticut Agricultural college last year financed entirely the speakers for in- stitute work. If funds permit the tension service will again provide in- stitute speakers for the coming year Should there be, however, a demand for a greater number of institutes than the extension service can finance, it is hoped that the board of agriculture and the agricultural societies of the state will aid In the support of the in- etitute speakers this year, as they have done in previous years and agreed to do_last year. The community in which an institute is held is required to pay all local ex- penses such as hall rent, heating, ad- vertising the institute, and provide transportation and entertainment for the visiting speakers. Co-operation. Farmers' institutes should be con- sidered a co-operative piece of worl the advisory board of farmers' insti- tutes working with the local communi- ties for the advancement of all rural interests. The local people making arrangments for the institutes, there- fore, should feel the responsibility of bringing the institute to the attention of all farmers and others interested in rural problems. The institute day should be made a community day for cussing its important problems re- lated to agriculture and country life, and a concerted effort on the part of the local community should be put forth to enroll a large attendance of farmers and others who have a vital 1 interest in rural progress. Requests for Institutes. All requests for institutes should be sent to the director of the extension service, Connecticut Agricultural col- lege, Storrs, Conn. In order that a | complete schedule may be arranged in advance, requests for institutes should be received at least one month in ad- vance of the date on which the insti- tute is desired. It is hoped that all requests may be received by Jan. 1, 1916. Requests for institutes must be made on the application blank. The iocal committees must have been ap- pointed before the request is for- warded. The college has at its disposal speakers upon the subjects of dairy- ing. fruit growing, poultry raising, vegeable srowins, soils and field crops, sheep raising, farm manage- ment, beekeeping, home economic: forestry and miscellaneous subjects. Among its lecturers the following are named: On poultry raising, W. O. Rogers, Norwich; Roy E. Jones, West Willington: J. T. Cruttenden, Water- ford; E. W. Brown, Old Mystic; E. =.

This is due to the fact that Rheuma is guaranteed to eliminate rheumatism or money back. It cleanses the system of uric acid poison.

CLUGHED NIGHT AND DAY How Thi Little Orphan Boy Was Cured, We want the people of Norwich to know that all letters like the follow- ing are truthful and genuine:— Towanda, Pa. “I took a little or- phan boy to live with me and last Christmas he contracted a hard cold which developed into bronchitis. He was_very ill and a bad cough set in so that he coughed night and day. After trying everything, nothing seem- ed to do him any good, until along in February I got a bottle of Vinol After using half the bottle his cough began to improve, and two bottles en- tirely cured his bronchitis and he gained in weisht so that he doesn't look like the same child.” Harry A. Stephenson, Towanda, Pa. The reason that cough syrups fail in such cases is because they are paliative only, while Vinol removes the cause, being a constitutional rem- edy in which are combined the heal- ing elements of fresh cods’ livers, to- gether with tonic iron and beef pep- tone. It strengthens and revitalizes the entire system and assists nature to expel the disease. G. G. Engler, Broadway Pharmacy, Norwich.
