When tne crmminal superior court adjourned for the day at 4.30 Thurs- day afternoon testimony was being heard in the case of the state against Arthur dall, negro, of Jewett Clty who 1s charged with horse stealing. Randall is accused of stealing a horse beionging to William P. Wade of this city. The horse was taken from a barn in Preston, dwned by James C. Spicer. The case was taken up at oon. . William P. Wade Testifies. . William P. Wade was the first wit- ness, He told of having been at work on the Spicer farm and of leaving his horse in Mr. Spicer’s barn. The next day he Jearned that the horse was gone. Later on in the day he found it in possession of Louis Ros enberg of the West Side. Mr. Rosen- herg claimed he traded for the horse with Randall and the Norwich police found Randall in North Stonington. At the time he was found Randall had Mr. Rosenberg’s outfit with him. Court went out at 1 o'clock and reconvened at 2 and after several other cases had been disposed, of the Randall trial was resumed. Mr. Rosenberg who was on the stand when the court went out for the noon recess again took the stand and completed the story of the horse_trade. : Isadore Rosenberg, son of Louis Rosenberg, was called and he told of the trading between his father and Fandall who, he said, arrived at the Rosenberg house with Mr. Wade's horse late at night. The next witness was Charles Co- insky, a 16-year-old Russian boy who was present when the trade took rlace. Cominsky who has been in this country fourteen years and who has just graduated from the Colches- ter school, told of driving several peo- ple from Colchester 10 Franklin square where they took a car to New London enroute to New York. He is well ac- quainted with the Rosenberg family and put up his horse and wagon at the Rosenberz place. He slept in_a tent and left early next morning. He told of Randall arriving about 1 o'clock in the night with an outfit and inquiring for Mr. Rosenberz. He said Mr. Ros- enberg inquired of Randall why he @id not come durine the daytime and then went on to teli of the trade. _— ARTHUR RANDALL PLACED ON- TRIAL| to Reformatory for Implication 'Months Did Not Know Randall’s Name. . In_answer to questions put by Pub- lic Defender Brown, who represents the accused, Cominsky said he is not related to the Rosenberg family. He said he was not told Randall's name, tut was told that he came from Jew- ctt City.” He did notgsee Randall the next morning and had not seen him- until he arrived in the superior gourt room. Court then adjourned for the day. E Two Cases . Nolled. During the morning - session the case against. George Carson, twenty years of age, charged with burglary in New London on June 13, was nolled. The case against Mike Pennetitson, ‘charged with assault, was also nolled.

It is just a part of the "plunging” which modern hubits of life and thought tend to substitute for the steady-going “plugging away” which characterizes real farming. Some farmer is reported to have “made a good thing” out of his dairy or his hen yards. At once a lot of other chaps decide that what he has done, tacy, also, can do. So they plunge in, bulld expensive barns or henneries and buy feeds in the open market for whatever they have to pay. Then, when they fail, they begin to yell about prices and buyers and swell the howling chorus against the “high cost of living” etc. Why, one can hardly glance 3t the real estute advertisements in any pa- per without finding small “farms” of two acres or less advertised as ad- mirably adapted for poultry.

It sells concen- trates which require less hard lifting and cost less for transportation. It sells msrufactured goods which are naturally worth more per unit, than raw material. It keeps on the farm, ms a fertilizing supply, the wastes which inevitably occur in all manufac- turing. It surely seems reasonable to argue that it is better to sell milk and butter, if reasonable prices can be obtainied for them, then to sell hay and corn and oate, ‘etc. It is better to sell pork than to sell the grains out of which pork is made. Because, if for no other rea- son,” the feeding out on ihe farm o bulky crops not only produces valugbl and concentrated products of univer- sal.demand, but also prescrves on the farm, as manure wita WhicL to grow other -crops, a large proportion of the original crops’ value—a preportion var- iously estimated at from & quarter to a thevd.

September 26th, is observed as Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, by the Jews throughout the world. This is the greatest fast of the Jewish year. From sunset of the 25th 'till sunset of the 26th, the observant Jew neither eats nor drinks, but devotes the day to fervent worship. ~ Yom Kippur is distinctive among Jewish holidays, for it is not assoclated with nature or with their history. It is a day for the searching of the heart to find union with the God of the world. The fast originated in Biblical times, and is described in the sixteenth chap- ter of the book of Leviticus. In those days the people fasted a2nd afflicted themselves, while the high priest made atonement for the entire house of Is- rael. This atonement was made in an- cient fashion by sacrifices and es- pecially by the symbolic rite of driv- ing the scapegoat into the wilderness to_bear away the sins of the people. Now prayers takes the place of sac- rifices. In modern Judaism prayer is the right form of approaching God. Jews devote the Day of Atonement to prayers for the forgiveness of their sins. They avoid all ordinary and sor- the possession of the American gov- ernment for a long time. ‘Tt was made public without -comment, shedding Jight upon the methods of another Swedish diplomatic representative in this hemispheré, at a time when the TUhnited States and her allies are awaiting with interest .Sweden’s ex- pianation to Argentina of the con- duct of her minister at Buenos Afres who transmitted the German “‘sink without leaving a trace” despatches.

I read the other day of a big western dairy farmer who had been interviewed by some newspaper man. He remarked that he wasn't worrying any about the price of corn or wheat or any other grain. He kept cows, yes. He made butter, yes. He relied ‘chiefly for his money _income upon selling butter, yes. But 'he did not have to buy his cow- feed: No, thank you. He had this year ralsed all the corn and wheat and oats he should need; he had - two silos ready to fill with home’grown en- silage_and a barn full of first-class hay. He might buy a little cottonseed meal or gluteh feed, perhaps, but not enough of even such things t¢ be worth mentioning. He had made his farm produce not only all that his stock would consume, “but also practically all his family would need. Now listen During the -present ason.

One neighbor, who has several thou- !and birds still, told me, the other day, tat, in spite. of its being the moult- ng season, he was still selling about i11 worth ‘of eggs a day. He raises 10 graia for them and, five minutes ater remarked that he had just bought ive tons of wheat at $3.60 a.hundred ind three tons of oats at $300 to feed hem, finding this cheaper than corn w_any of the “scratch” feeds. Tt will take quite a time at the rate f $11 a day for éggs to get back the i5.40 paid out for one lot of feed. This particular hen man, however, ainks he shall be able to “make 4 .ve” of it. He knows his fowls hroughout and sells off the sterile Wirds as rapidiv as possible, thus keep- ng the proportion of producing héns through either a redeemer or a sacri- fice.

Men and women think of their dear departed and of the great and good who served mankind. Especially in times of stress, when many brave men are offering up their Hves, fervor animates these pravers by which their memory is _hongred. and their ideals are preserved. A farm 't a factory. (Thank God it isn’t!) It is not a mere machine into one side of which you feed cheap raw mazerials, in order to take out h‘lghsr»pr.lced products from the other side. 3 Yet even factories nowadays go to great pains to conserve what used to be their wastes. In many,many cases it is the by-prodlcts of a factory which pay all that factory’s profits. On the farm this utilization of wastes is_even more essential. If keeping cows will enable the far- mer to turn his farm wastes into pro- fit, then keeping cows is good farm- ing for him. If hens or hLoge will do better, then hens or hogs for him.
