COLLEGE GIRLS TO.DO SUMMER FARM WORK About Seventy-Five Have Been Regis- tered .For Summenr Farming Camps. (Special to.The Bulletin.) New London, April 18—About sev- enty-five students at Connecticut col- lege have registered and been accepted for the summer farming camps, under college supervision an' Long Island and about New London. Miss Hazel Woodhull, head of the Physical Edu- cation department,: will have charge of fifteen girls who will do- fatm work at Bridgehampton, L. ¥, for-a period of four weeks, after which a second shift will continue the work for a sec- ond period of four wecks. Miss Blue, assistant at the college in the physical will work about farms under college supervision around New London. Each girl will be paid $15 and re- ceive hoard, room and carfare expens- es to and from the farm. Each student who registers for the work must pass a physical examina- tion and be recommended for work on the farms. Considerable’ enthusiasm has been manifested in the profect and ~many othar girls would have registered for service on. the farms if they had not already signified intenttons of doing government work during the summer and in the fall. . Alout twenty students have enroll- cd in the govermment course of wire- less telegraphy and automobile driv- ing and care of machines. The. course contains sixteen lessons of two hours each and is offered at$2.50 for the pe- riod of eight weeks. Each student who completes the course satisfactorily will receive a diploma at the -termination of the courses and will be lable for government " service in wireless sta- tions or driving machines in ambu- lance or other corps if need be. Practically every student in college is planning to do some work or other this summer and the office has been busy enlisting help.

The week beginning next Monday has been chosen by Connectivut as the week in which to wage a potato cam- paign. Along with other eastern states,} Connecticut has been asked by the food administrator to carry this out. This is necessary for two reasons: First to move and consume the large | stock of potatoes still in the market | and so encourage farmers tp plant again this year; second, because it is most imperatively necessary to con- serve wheat and use potatoes instead. Merchants, ~ schools, - churches, granges and libraries are heartily co- operating. What will you, as an in- dividual, do? The potato, grown through patri- otism, should be eaten through patri- otism. They will go to waste if they are not eaten in the next few weeks. ‘Wheat is needed in the front. line trench “over there.” Let potatoes serve 36 the home guard “over here.” Have you ever noticed that when you cat a great deal of potato for dinner you don’t care for bread? It you do not know this, try it out. Home Demonstration at Rockville. Mise M. E. Sprague, home economics director for Conmnecticut, and Miss Maud E. Hayes, state leader in home demonstration work, are to speak be- fore chairmen of home economics com- mittees and members Wednesday, *| work, rush out in its clock attachment and Sunday | (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) | that isn't the way of the great World- “Don’t apologize. Don’t explain. Let 'em howl. Get the thing done!” What thing? ‘Why, any thing which is laid on your hands to do. . The thing which it happens to ‘be your duty to do. “The Nexte Thynsg.” as| it is written in a quaint old English inscription. That is the plain meaning of Jowett’s famous advice to his Oxford students and disciples. It's a simple, easily understandable, practical and effective rule of conduct. “Say nuthin’ and saw wood.” is a dia- lect paraphrase which means much the same thing. “Do your bit and hold your jaw” is another trenchant iform of the same idea. It's 2n exhortation to do that which, it might seem, no real man should evér need exhortation to, without ex- plantation of why he does it, and without apologies for his failure to do ic._periectly. It might be called the motto of democracy, democracy as oppdsed to that utterly contemptible dmagogy which everyone secks to parade its wretched incompetency liszuised in the raiment of the nobler cult. It is the same thing which was in Tennyson’s mind when he passionately cried out “For a still, strong man in a blatant land, ‘Who can rule, and who will not lie” There are plenty of men who can talk like angels and write like seraphe but who can’t DO things: plenty such in government; plenty such in con- gresses and legislatures; plemy suc: in law courts and labor unions, too many such even on the farms. If you don’t. believe it, go to the mext half- dozen Farmers’ Institutes heid nearest you and take careful note of how much is said and how little is done. not dving one’s work than to do it. It is usually simpler to explain why one didn’t do it right than to learn how to do it right—and then do it that way. It may always be expected, in any case, that those outside will howl. It is the mature of dogs to bark and of catamounts to yowl No especially good farming was ever done, so far as T have heard, by cither. 1t takes men—men who can use their eyes and their brains and their muscles to ninety per cent. of capacity and their mouthe to just abott one and a quarter per cent.—to accomplish anything really worth while at New England farming. You and | have worked hard and long, in the past, trying to get returns of some sort off the stone-heaps and gravel banks and side-hills which make up most New England farms. We -haven't, either one of us, suc- ceeded to heart's. desire. Shall we, therefore, apologize? Not by a long shot! We have made mistakes, s0 many and so bad that our ears itch at every mention, and our fingers twitch at every recollection. Shall we therefore expiain way we made ‘em? Not on your life ! Passers-by and other casual critics howl with laughter at some of our failures. Shall we therefore drop our 0 the road and join rimmage and squabble, to futility? know ourselves! in the word adding fard Not if we So far as | know, the one most ele- mentally powerful agent which works in our.behalf on eoil and seed and tender shoot and maturing fruit is sunlight, The story is told of the immigrant who, his steamship coming into New York harbor of a morning, was startled by the sudden roar of a big cannon from the fort off the bow. “What's that?”.he gasped. “Only the sunrise gun,” answer of a bystander. % “Lord, does the sun come up with a bang in Ameriky?” he said. was the Not as a rule. This most tre- mendous and-universally acting power, on whose pervasive and irresistible energy we depend for every grain of wheat or blade of grass, comes as si- lently as the slow fall of a spiders web to the ground. ~Nay, more si- lently; for I suppose that instru- ments could be devised so delicate as to catch and report the noise made by the impact of the spider’s filament on the soil. But no marvel of invention can enable us to hear the sound of the sunrise, for it makes none. It is Yhe giynonym of silence itself. We may, indeed, hear some of the ac- tivities which it wakes to action, but ver the sunrise itself. We may, if alert, hear the soft stirrings in the warming soil' which its radiance jn- cites, but not the fall of the rays themselves. We may, perhaps hear the Wheels go round, but never by chance a whisper from the almost April 24, 2 p. m., police court room, Memorial building, Rockville.

There may be some who wish that the sun would make more of a racket, about its work; that it would always “come up with a bang” and go through the day with a ceaseless clashing of | Let pinions and grinding of cogs. But ‘WORK NOT WORDS WILL WIN It is always easier to apologize for i warmer ‘and - Life-sustainer. _We dig up-some of the bottled sun- light, captured millions of years ago by Carboniferous forests and turned by succeeding ages into icoal, and dump it into furnaces which roar with its combustion to drive, engines which rattle and pound ‘under its ' impetus. But the rumpus isn't due to even that form of sunlight, but to our failure— our failure to learn the ‘secret which the sun knows and the ancient forests knew, but which we are too clumsy and awkward to understand. It is a. blessing for the most of us that this, like others of our most powerful natural allies, works' in ab- solute. silence. I can almost imagine Old Sol, as the spinning earth exposes new meridians to his shining, saying to _himself: “Hello, there are a few milion acres waiting to be lighted and warmed and sterilized and aerated and nitrated and capillarized and generally. set a-going. Well, I'm on the job, even if 1 ain't saying anything or making any noise about it” And, as new meridians roll forward, the same thing over and over again, through our'day which is the antipodes’ night and the antipodal day which is our night, never ceasing, never apologizing, never ex- plaining—just shining on and on till [ it rounds the year out and ‘fills the season’s lap with overflowing harvests. The storm may howl, if it will' but above the clouds the sun is always shining, and its majestically - silent power always gets the better of the howling storm, in.the end. 5 Some of us farmers rezard our- selves as the slaves of the sun and the rain, abjectly subject to their caprices. Others of us take higher grownd and regard them as our potent allies, by whose sovereign aid we are able to make the desert blossom as the rose, and bring the whole round world into subjection. | have noticed that those who take this latter view usually share in greater or less desree the same dislike of slam-bang methods, and hold in greater or less degree the same spirit of eilent devotion to ‘tasks in hand which are characteristic of their mighty natural allies. They may not make anything like the noise of some others, but they do things and they get things done. Which is, the important thing, al- ways and everywhere. The farmer who goes rampaging about, denouncing the weather and scolding about the hired man, may and often does get his name in the papers. But the farmer who stays by his job in fair weather or foul, who is always ‘“Johnny-on-the-epot” with his plow or bis hoe or his Paris green, who says little but keeps his eyes wide open for every least showing of opportunity and grasps the skirts of happy. chance { with both bands the minute they get within_his reach—that is the farmer who, if he doesn't get his name in the papers, is apt to get good crops into his cellar or on to his market-wogan. “An ounce of performance is worth a pound of promise” says the -old adage. It's not what a man he ddes which brings “Fair words butter Bua a fair amount of work and fer- tilizer and good seed and gumption will usually provide the parsnips ready for buttering. Which is something ail the talkee-talkee in the United States senate can't do. says but what results. no parsnips.” We've had a long, cold, hard winter. But, thanks to its super-abundant snow, the great wheat fields of the west are said to be in an unexpectedly fine state. Something good has al- ready come out of what, at the time, seemed to present cvil. We're fecing a cold, late, : sour spring, apparently. Well, it may be that in its very unpropitiousness lurks the seed of some other good which shall come to light, later. Our job is, not to sit supine in lst- less dejection, nor to fume and bluster, nor to apologize and explain, but to keep our eyes open and all our senses alert for the first real opening which gives us our chancellt is to have our tools ready and ourcampaign ' -all plenned, 60 that we can. “gt into shape” instanter and proceed 'to do things. For we've got to do things, this coming season. There's a big re- sponsibility upon us, which we'd better realize and appreciate, now, than wait for German raiders by sea or air to enforce upon us. We may not have the highest ad- miration for all in our government. We may think some of them inéfiicient and some even incompetent. We may be as full of criticism an an egg is of meat. Nothing of that sort matters. We've: got this year to feed four ma- tions instead of one.We farmers will have to provide that victual. It isn't 4 theory which confronts us, but a condition. If we fall down, now, then civiliza- tion and all the hopes of humanity fall down also, and bloody outrage triumphs over us. ‘Don’t apologize. _ Don't_ explain. “’em howl GET THE THING DONE!"

Rheuma. the ‘wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Lee & Osgood Co. and all good druggists, gives quicker and more lasting relief than other rmedies costing many times as much. Rheuma passes the deadly poisonous secretions into the bowels and kidneys, from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural, healthy way.
