His cabbage was somewhat injured by the woodchweks, but of the four seed strains of cabbages were used the Comstock Ferre strain type. The seed obtained from Ebberle, came second, while D. M. Ferry and W. Atlee Burpee came in third and fourth places respectively. The latter, in fact, showing a very weak and small growth on the plants. Evidently it is very worth while for vegetable growers to be careful where they purchase thelr cgb- bage seed. is | Mr. Whittle's' is s tomato demonstration shows very plainly the advantages of early pruning of the plants.

Or does it mean that they should vote for the candidates Jl.hey consider best regardless of party affiliations? R The Connecticut League of Women a| Voters has asked its members for opin- fons on this point. The July number of the Woman Voters’ Bulletin, published monthly by the league, says: “Everyone, upon being made a voter in Connecticut takes the following oath: “ ‘You solemly swear that you will be true and faithful to the State of Connec- ticut, and the constitution and govern- ment thereof, as a free and indepedent state, and to the constitution of the United States; and whenever you shall be called td give you vote or suftrage touching any matter that concerns this state or the United States, you will con- duce to the best good of the same with- out respect of persons or favor of any d | man; so help you God. “How do Connecticut women intérpret the elector's oath. Some, believing that the best interests of government lie in the success of the party of which they v | are members, belleve in voting the party d | ticket straight regardless of the merits of apy particular candidate. They be- lieve that the time to work for the candi- date of one’s choice is in the caucus, but that after the caucus they should sup- port whatever candidate wins. “Other party members find that they can not always conscientiously vote for their party’s candidates. They belleve that if their party fails to put up as good y |2 candidate for a particular office as some other party, it is their duty as cit- izens to split their ticket and vote for the one they consider best. They do not believe that women lose influence in poli- n | tics by doing this. Rather they feel that their action ‘will be an effectual protest; that it will force their party to pub up better candidates for the next election. They believe that such action will serve 11 | to improve the party. . Here is 2 real difference df opinion. It is a point that women will discuss more and more keenly as election day The Woman Voter’s Bulletin will give space in its August issue to opinions from league members- It has asked for contributions of not over seventy-five words. The present number also con- | tains questions ande.answers on the Sheppard-Towner maternity act, tells of experiments in the direct primary for the nomination of candidates in Meriden and Middletown and outlines the work of the League of Womep Voters for preven- tion of war by international coopération. CELEBRATE—\ANNIVEBBABY OoF PURCHASE OF PARSONAGE Members and friends of the McKinley A. M. E. Zion church celebrated on Thursday evening the third anniversary of the purchase of the parsonage with a lawn party and_concert on the parson- age grounds at 14 Grove place. The ar- rangements were carried out under the the direction of the stewardess board. The lawn was beautifully trimmed with Chinese lantern. , Iced tea, cake lemon ice and soft drifks were served. The following programme was rénde: ¥ | Singing, Hallelujah; invocation by Dea con James Hackley of . Grace Memorial a | Baptist church; solo, Prof. W. E. Geary; address of congratulation in behalf of the Baptists of the city and an original poem by Rev. E. E. Jackson of Mt. Cal- vary Baptist church; responses by Mrs. ! David K. Hall, Mrs. Julla Quick, Mrs. Frances Evans, Ambrose Wilson; solo, Mrs. Fanny Jackson. A brief history of the parsonage and it | what has been accomplished in the four years in which the church has been pay- ing for it was given. From a cost of $2,500, the debt has been reduced to be- tween $460 and $500 by the members, as- sisted by kind friends. It is the hope to jhave the entire debt pald up by another anniversary. The closing remarks were by the new pastor of the chaureh, Rev. Dixon Brown. The members of the stewardess board- are Mrs. Mary H. James, president; Mrs. Mary Relves, vice president; Mrs. Miss _ Claribel ‘Wood, secretary; Mrs. Zorah Hall, Mrs. Clara A.

In the early part cf 1920, stock of the Stutz Motor Car Com- ¥, of which Ryan was the presider: and a director, began to undergo plesing market Ractuations. | B many weeks had passed, Wall street Wolke up to find fhat an apparent corner exsted and that thousands of shares hal been sold “short” with no prospect of “covering.” Ryan and his associates ‘ar: alleged 0 have bought 31,000 skares of the steek for themselves during the munth of March, and to have used the alicged eor- ner to foree up the price of t*e stock until it had reached $381'a share. n March 31. trading in Stutz Mo- % was suspended and an indéfinite mo- ratorium was declared. in which thers could be no calls for delivery of shares. Later at the request of Mr. Ryvanm, the stock was stricken from the ‘'st. Gov- érnors of the stock exchange, after an investigation, declared that a “corne existed, but Mr. Ryan defied them and is sald to have made the “horts” set- tle for $551.25 a share. netting him a profit est!matéd at $1.650,000. Mr. Ryan was then summoned before the governors on charges that he was “gulity of conduet inconsistent \ith equitable princitles of trade.” He refus- ed to appear and the governors, after de- liberating five hours, expelled him. Hix seéat on the exchange, which his father had purchased on October 28, 1874, for about $4,500 and had later transferred to him, was sold for $98.000 to Arthur Gwynn. The proceeds of this sale, whick have been held in trust, are among the listed assets. Shortly after his expulsion. M. Rvan brought a suit for $1.004,000 against William H. Remick, then president of the exchange, and members of the beard of governors, several of whom he allez- ed had sold Stutz motor shares “short.” The suit is pending. no date ever having been set for a trial. Ryan had made powerful enemies ‘n the Stutz fight and his expulsion from the exchange was a heavy biow to his prospects, the so-called “wise acres” gen- erally predicting that his financlaal ca- Teer would ba brief. Fis father, ratel as one of the country’s weaithiest mon, was reported to have privately expressel admiration for his son’s courageous figh: and to have offered to heip him, but no public announcement of the father's at- titude was evér made, and apparently no heln was forthcoming. Father and sar had been estranged for years, the rift between them growing wider when ths - father married a second time, omiy 2 comparatively few days after the dia:] of his first wife, the young fnancler's mother. When reéports of the father's willingness to intercede in his son's be- half were cireylated, friends of the younf man declared that he would “ge broke" rather than accept a cent from his father. True to predictions, fyoung Ryana's troubles began to increase after he war expelied and four months after he had lost his seat. his affairs were in suck shape that he found it necessary for hit protection to place his assets in the hands of trustees. It was officially stated at the time that Ryan's affairs had been satisfactorily settled, and that Ryan would eontinue to exercise control of hi: properties. His liabilities then were es- timated at $16,000,000, and it was stated that a careful conversion of hiy assets would permit him to “break even.”™ Ryan was later reported to be stag- ing a “come-back” and Wall street heard reported that hewas interested in pools operating on the curb market. However, the 1rasioes. axp/mmocted £ hve-gxse- cised so much ¢ontrol over his affalrs that Ryan's operations in the last yeir or wore have generally been regarded as nominal. and he ceased to Become 2 figure of any great Importance.
