Governor Holcomb was one of the speakers at the lunch of the New Ha- ven chamber of commerce Saturday at which the farmers of that county were guests. The subject for consid- eration was farm development and reasons why it should be prometsd by making use of the assistance which the farm bureau affords. In the course of his remarks Gov- ernor Holcomb urged that more atten- tion be paid to the development of the farms in the state and showed that there are three million acres of farm land in Connecticut. This is a wealth of farm land, he declared, and in his opinion enough crops and farm products should be raised to supply the million and a quarter population. It is a well known fact that While the Nutmeg state has many well de- veloped and highly productive farms there is plenty of opportunity in all the counties of the state for exten- sive improvement, The idea that Con- necticut land is worn out has been proved erroneous. Much of it has been under some form of cultivation for many years, but with the right kind of attention there are just as many chances for development here in the east as elsewhere. The problem may have to be handled in a different man- ner, but it can be done and the un- dertaking made to show a good profit, dut it must be handled in the same sort of a way that any successful business is for farming cannot be al- lowed to run itself any more than manufacturing, and when that is real- ized by all the tillers of the soil then will it be found that the task of sup- plying the wants of the people of Con- necticut from Connecticut farms will not appear to be an unattainable ac- complishment. A full appreciation of what can be done, as measured by what others are doing, ought to go a long way towards ths solution. GEORGIA’S LYNCHINGS. ‘When the citizens of a certain sec- tion of the state of Georgia entered a prison, took therefrom Leo Frank and carrying him to the countryside left him hanging to the limb of a tree it was a glaring defiance of law and order. It was apparent that there was no respect for the - established laws of a civilized commonwealth and when the investization which followed resulted in the perpetrators of that outrage going scot ffee without even being brought to the bar of justice it was apparent that it was but the needed precedent for the continuation of .that practice. In accordance with the expectations which were created by that deflance of law the taking of five men from a jail at Sylvester and the finding of their bodies suspended from e tree is only a natural sequence. Georgia has already established an unenviable reputation in this respect. 1t is going from bad to worse and the deplorable part of it is that the people of the state are making no determined effort to stop it. Instead they are sit- ting idly by and permitting it to hap- pen whenever there is an uncontrol- lable desire on the part of a mob to take the administration of justice into its own hands. That those who were hanged may have been guilty does not furnish a sufficlent excuse for the act. There is a prescribed method for deal- ing with criminals which it is high time the people of Georgla, like those of every other state, should be forced to respect. Much is being said about the way in which American lives are taken in Mexico, but it would appear that there is a big problem awalting adjustment in the state of Georgia. RILEY’S REMOVAL. It is in accordance with what was expected that Governor Whitman of New York announced the removal of John B. Riley as state superinfendent of prisons. Riley is of course quick to assign a reagon for it and attributes it to the catering of the governor to maudlin sentimentality, but whatever explanation Mr. Riley glves for his removal it must have been as plain as the nose on a man’s face that by his action he was headed for the dis- charge that he received. Had he been striving for his removal he could have done little more to earn it than he daid as it was and regardless of the cause which he uses to the lines from the New Haven and its pro- New Haven road. Under the Panama canal act it rests with that commis- sion to say whether the railroad is allowed to continue to operate the Sound lines or whether they must be disposed of, a matter which has noth- ing whatever to do with traffic through the canal, but it nevertheless is in- cluded under the railroad-owned ship provision of that act which has long ‘been recognized as covering far more than should have been permitted un- der canal legislation. What the commission will do in this case remains to be seen, but if it is guided by the demands of the man- ufacturing interests of New England which benefit so extensively from the service rendered by- the steamboat lines as at present operated in con- nection with the all rafl lines, it will not be long in reaching a decision to let well enough alone. The water lines have been of inestimable value during the freight congestion and they would render a still greater ser- vice through increase of existing fa- cilities if the attitude of the commis- sion had been known. In several instances the commission has found that public interests re- quire the retention of steamship lines by railroads as indicated in the case of the Central Georgia railroad and its line from Savannah to New York, vet in other instances such as lines on the Great Lakes the raflroads have been forced to sell. New England has suffered hardships enough from rail- road conditions without being forced to experience the handicap which would follow the divorce of the Sound tests should be vigorously renewed if need be. AIDING PREVENTION. When it comes to enforcing preven- tive measures it must be realized that it is not the easlest task in the world to catch the party who carelessly dis- cards a cigarette or cigar butt. Rec- ognition of the serious effects which ere lkely to follow the throwing of them into refuse piles or the thought- less dropping of a lighted match ought to result in the stopping of a great amount of such practice, but there are plenty of instances to show that it doesn’t. Such being understood there-has re- cently been put into effect an ordin- ance in New York city which hits at this very thing. It is provided that “no person shall throw away any light- ed match, cigar or cigarette within any building or . structure, or in any boat, car or other vehicle for the com- mon carriage of passengers, unless it be to deposit same in a suitable con- tainer of metal or other non-combus- tible material provided for the re- ception thereof.” If there is no more attention paid to this than is given to a majority of such regulations the practice will continue ahout as usual and it will amount to no more than the posting of signs at frequent intervals about a city calling attention to the fact that spitting on the sidewalks is subject to a fine. It must nevertheless be rec- ognized that the ordinance is needed and that it is possible through proper observance to prevent many fires which result from carclessness. It may require that a number of arrests be made for violations before those who are inclined to overlook such small things realize that it is to be enforced, but even those who have been guilty of such negligence must appreciate the fact that the order is a good thing and should be enforced. EDITORIAL NOTES. New York apparently never lacks for an opportunity to investigate graft, News from the state of Washing- ton shows that Culebra doesn't pos- sess all the hills that know how to slide. SERE Still Carranza mustn’t think that one or two interesting rumors are go- ing to satisfy the demands of this country. The man on the corner says: "Twill not be long now before the people commence to get foolish about the groundhog. From the success which Duke Nich- olas is having in the Caucasus reglon he isn’t the kind that sulks because given new duties. . Just what the city of Omaha thinks of auto fire apparatus is indicated by the fact that it has voted to spend $50,000 for that purpose. Inasmuch as peace terms meant the carrying of an ‘Austrian yoke forever, ‘Montenegrins - apparently felt that they might as well die fighting. - Col. Roogevelt declares “I am an or- ganization man myself,” and yet he has been giving some pretty good evi- dence that he was a disorganizer. Austria declares that its submarines had nothing to do with the sinking of the Persia. It has taken a long time to get into communication with them all. —— Italy’s premier declares that he looked for a short and easy war, but|> when he considers that the kaiser has not yet saten his Christmas dinner in Paris he is not the only disappointed one. Those plans for the public execu- tion of Villa on the racstrack at Juarez give the wily insurrectionist a new idea possibly as to how he FOR “THE HOUSEWIFE. water thes the pain of any lug::: inn-;:uon of the eye; hot help 2 dull and a water will weak solution of. boric is good for the eye.

OLIVE DRESSING. ‘When olive ofl dressing will not thicken after the necessary amount of oil has been used. beat in a small quantity of dry cornstarch. This pre- vents the curdled or oily appearance. After sta7/ding a short time the dress- ing will be stiff and will not taste of cornstarch. BOILED ICING. In making a boiled icing the secret of success lies in taking off exactly at the right moment. A better test than spinning a heavy thread is to drop some of the sirup into cold water, and when it adheres to bottom of glass when pulled up it must be taken off at once. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. To keep the hands white, wash them with oatmeal water. Bed_ clothing should be thoroughly aired In the sun every day. Parsley dipped in vinegar and eaten after onions will prevent the disagree- able odor and taste so often noticeable. Use a firm brush when cleaning the teeth. Remove all foreign properties with a plece of dental floss. Twice a year have the dentist scrape away the tartar which is sure to form in spite of all care. Bran bags can be purchased from almost any druggist. But if you pre- fer you can make them yourself. Mix equal parts of powdered oatmeal and bran together, and to a pint add half a cup of powdered soap. To this add about one ounce of powdered orris root. Fill small bags and use in the bath. Do not let boys wet their hair too much, as many a bad neuralgic head- ache results from such treatment, and often severe attacks of earache. Far better was the old fashioned method of using pomade, now almost forgotten. Instead vaseline is used and is really better than the sopping many boys glve their heads each day, then run out to school or work, recelving a chill ere their hair is dry. > CANDIED CRANBERRIES. The secret of candying cranberries lies in handling the fruit so that it will become saturated with sugar. This calls for slow cooking on the installment plan and the use of a dish large enough to permit all the berries to float at the top of the syrup during cooking. The skins are so rough that they must be pierced before cooking to let the syrup into the pulp or in- terior. To do this, three little slits, each 1-8 inch long, should be made in each berry with the point of a pen- knife. Use selected large, firm cran- berries. The directions for cooking are as follows: For 1 1-2 cupfuls of berries make a thin syrup by boiling together until clear 2 cupfuls of sugar and 2 1-2 cup- fuls of water. When the syrup is cool, add the berries and bring very slowly to the boiling point. If the berries are heated too quickly, the skins will burst before the syrup soaks into the pulp As soon as the syrup boils, take the dish off the stove and let it stand over night. Next day, drain the syrup from the berries and boil it until it is reduced to about one-half its original volume. Put the berries into this me dium thick syrup end heat slowly; boil gently for three or four minutes and then allow to stand for two hours or more. Then boil gently a third time for five minutes. A emaller dish prob- ably will be needed for the third and last boiling. When thoroughly cold, or, better 1l on the following day, drllnoflth!lyruglnd'pro.dflm berries out on a lightly buttered plate or a sheet of clean, waxed, or lightly buttered paper, until the surface of the berries ‘dries. » < l}'haes.crr;elfi it dldr;eflon- have bee: ollow can tely an not into a sticky mass.

Laces rp] in band, galloon, edging and allover|' designs are worked in frosty silver or glittering gold. Some effects have touches of color with silver. Black net with silver leaves is very handsome and fleurs-de-lis in silver are charm- ing on black or white. ‘White nets have. silver or gold span- gles. Silk nets in lavender, violet, rose, fiesh, light blues, yellow, cream, black, gray and tan are embroidered In silver or _gold. Bolero jackets and flounces with a scalloped lace edge are novel when the net is well covered with fine soutache braiding in lace patterns. The braid may be silk, silver, gold or steel, giv- ing a metal Incrusted appearance. Black chantilly lace is used for the lkirlt of a dress under a metal silver tunie. NEW ORGANDY COLLARS. An organdy collar has revers scal- loped and embroidered, and a high, up- right accordion pleated frill across the back only. Organdy revers are thickly dotted with hand embroidered dots or bars, with high Medici collar dotted and scalloped, wired, and worn slight- ly turned back. Rather stiff organdy with fine hand work is used for collar and cuff sets and vestees. A vestee of organdy in fine tucks is attached to a high coliar, with a narrow embroider- ed turnover just showing on both parts and a crysh ribbon over the collar passes through slits in front, leaving the edges of a fichu about an inch and a half apart. An elaborate style of organdy collar has a frill of Oriental lace on the lower edge to the shoulder only, A partly closeq round turnover of embroidered organdy is worn with a short tied cravat of black velvet ribbon. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. Sheets and pillow cases are improved by_a touch of hand embrotdery. If there are a number of suits to be made for the small boy of the family, cut them all out at one operation, and in the same way systematize the ma- chine sewin; Many women prefer white linen can- dle shades embroidered with eyelets to all others for a bedroom. Buttonholing the edges of these will give a firmness allowing for many trips to the tub. In these candle shades eyelet work is especially effective, as the light in back of the colored linings brings out the pattern clearly. A chila 1 year old should not have its dress longer than to the top of the shoe; at 2 years it may reach the knee and this length is good until 5 or 6 years of age. At 8 or 9 the skirt covers the knee, and at 12 an inch or an inch and a half should be added. At 15 it should cover the calf of the leg, and at 16, shoe top is correct. REMOVING STAINS. Corn starch will remove stains from the dinner frock or party gown. One woman dropped grease on a delicate colored silk frock and put corn starch thickly on the under side, hung up the frock and in a few hours not a trace of grease remained. When the same woman forgot her shields and came home with perspiration stains she treated them to a liberal bath of corn starch while moist and 'not a stain showed when the goods dried. OLD PHOTOGRAPHS. Most homes have many old photo- graphs too precious to be thrown away, yet of little interest to those outside the immediate family. To save space they are often packed away in boxes: 8o, often when one would gladly pass a little time looking over the familiar scenes and faces, it seems too much trouble to get them out. Here is a simple solution of the problem: Put the photographs in clean, warm water; in a short time the pictures can be easily removed from the cards. ‘When dry, either trim down, to econ- omize space or cut away the back- ground entirely. This last, of course, requires great care. Mount them in scrapbook, or, better still, in a book made especlally for kodak pictures WASH JEWELRY. All jewelry that is constantly worn should be washed every month or eix weeks. It is not a difficult matter, sither. All you have t6 do is to makea soapy lather and add a few drops of ammonia. Take an old tooth brush and brush all the dirt out of the crevices. When quite clean, take the jewelry out of the water and rub perfectly dry with a chamois leather of paper. ‘When cleaning any article that is set gentle with the tooth brush, for is you sh too vigorously you may easily loosen a stone. A pendant see with emeralds, rubies or diamonds is better immersed in a little eau de cologne than water. CONCERNING WOMEN. Korean girls have no names. Great Britain has more than 2,300 policewomen.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Mt. Calvary Church Trouble. Mr. Editor: We very much rezgret that the troubles existing at the Mount Calvary Bapiist church have reached | the point where they have been freely aired both 'in court and in your es- teemed paper, as well as in other papers read here in Norwich. As botH members and officers of the Mount Calvary Baptist church we have been greatly embarrassed and deeply cha- grined because of the existence of these troubles and by the many recent art cles which have appeared in public print, which place the officers and the majority of the members in an un- favorable light before the public. The articles which have appeared we be- lieve to be mainly from the same source. But one story is good until another is told. In one of the articles that has ap- peared it is stated that all of this dis- turbance had its ground in some dis- satisfaction which arose over some chicken supper held last October; to certain dislikes toward the pastor and toward one of the congregation, and because the pastor “has resolutely op- posed gin-drinking and other vices among certain members ofsthe congre- gation.” Now as to any unpleasant feelings which resulted from any chicken sup- per last October, we have not the slightest knowledge; and as to any feelings being stirred against the de- posed pastor for preaching against gin- drinking and other vices, as officers of Mount Calvary Baptist church we are glad to state that we believe that no gospel, no standard of ethics, can be too high for the members of sald church; and we thoroughly believe, as well as the rank and file of our mem- bership, in a minister who without fear or favor declares “the whole counsel of God” and whose life is in full accord with the gospel he preach- es. We believe with all our heart in the ecriptural injunction, "Be ve clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord,” and to such a pastor for whose moral up- rightness we can vouch, in whose moral integrity we believe, and whose word, life and character we can trust, vnder God we pledge our heartiest and most loyal support. ‘We quote from the deposed pastor’'s statement in another paper of the 15th inst.: “The trouble was precipitated,” said the pastor today, “by a person outside the church, who started an un- founded rumor, and had the matter taken up in another church and §ub- sequently brought up in Mount Cal- vary church.” We wish to state that the rumor to which the deposed pastor refers came to our notice from one of our own members, and as for this matter being taken up in any other church, it is a ‘wilful and absolute falsehood, for what right has any other church to handle our affairs? These feigned reasons for the trouble existing at our church, and these fallacious statements are mere- ly subterfuges behind which the de- posed pastor wishes to hide, and a trick of his to court sentiment in his favor, by thrcwing the blame upon ordinary tissue |others and to deceive the publ; We did not begin this newspaper agitation, we did not want to enter at all and we do so now with much reluctance, but in view of the many articles which have gohe before jus- tifying the action of the deposed pa: tor and holding up the officers and majority of the members of Mt. C vary church to censure and reproach, we feel that we would be false to right and recreant to wrong to put a padlock upon our lips and to main- tain an eternal silence. In your issue of the 17th inst., the deposed pastor gives his readers a long dissertation upon church polity, and then quotes voluminously from cox’s Baptist Church Directory and holds us up to ignominy and reproach for being ignorant and not knowing. We have been called fools to our faces "Mon., Tues. Wed.

Davis’ Book Store. norance, we do know from wrong. Although the facts in the case wa ranted it, especially since he h: chown such a bitter and un-Christian spirit we have not desired to publicly expose the deposed pastor and so we have not hastily rushed into public erint. But since he seems determined to have his own way, despite the fact that he has grievously sinned, and de- spite the fact that the pulpit has been declared vacant by more than a two- thirds vote against him, he persists in taking us to task in all of his ar- s and stiil declares that he will occupy the puipi: and we feel that we must tell the public why the pastor has been deposed. At different times while he was with us there were rumors charging him with conduct unbecoming a gentleman, which rumors we hoped were not true, and if true that he would be so careful and guarded in his action, and brought to such deep repentance that there would be no occasion for these rumors being repeated. - The rumor which forms the basis of the present trouble began.more than a year ago when the now deposed pastor attend- ed a convention in Bridgeport, Con- necticut. It was rumored that while there he was guilty of conduct unbe- coming a gentleman. We did not want to believe the rumor and so hesitated to make any investigation as to its truthfulness. But as the rumor be- came so generally known and the op- position against the now deposed pas- tor so marked an investigation of the rumor was made, which was found to be true, according to a sworn stat ment made before a notary public. This is why the trouble reigns at Mt. Calvary church; this is why the pas- tor has been deposed; this is why the padlock was placed upon the door and the door barricaded. So, If we are called “belligerents,” we gladly accept the term, for we are waging a holy war, and are fully persuaded of the righteousness of our cause. (Signed) H.
