S, HISTORY By ELMO SCOTT WATSON tstyr-.-vr-iv!" . a.u/=aaass:;-:.=:» Monument to Shame o f Bene* diet Arnold In Connecticut history the name of Fort GrKwold stands as a monument to the Infamy ol’ 'Benedict Arnold. Late in the Revolution, after Wash­ ington had made liis dash south to capture Oirmvullls, Sir Henry Clin­ ton attempted a counter move by sending a force'to ravage Connecticut and attack New London, the home port of the American privateers, who had been harassing the British ship­ ping. .The command of this expedition was given to Benedict Arnold, as though the measure of his infamy could best l>e completed by ids carry­ ing the sword into ids native state. . New London was defended by two forts on the Thames river, Fort Trum­ bull on the west side and Fort Griswold on Groton hill on the east. Arnold lmd an army of about 1,200 men, composed of a few British soldiers, hut mostly Tories and Hessians. Bending Colonel Ey.re with a part of this force to take Fort Griswold, Arnold led the remain­ der against Fort .Trumbull'on Septem­ ber 0,1781.’ The militia, 107 in number and commanded by Col. william Led- yard, immediately evacuated Fort Trumbull and crossed over to Gris­ wold. Although poorly armed, many with nothing but spears, they were steeled to determination by the knowl­ edge that some of the Tories in Ar­ nold’s army were old neighbors. So determined was their'resistance tha,t they repeatedly liurkuf back the assaults which Eyre launched on three sides of the fort. The British com­ mander was mortally wounded, as was Major -Montgomery, who took ills place. Finally Major Brumfield, the next in command, succeeded in carry­ ing tlie walls at the point of the bayo­ net. By this time the fighting was virtually oyer. Colonel Ledyard or­ dered his ljnen to lay down'their- arms, but the Tories and Hessians, infuri­ ated by the stubborn resistance of the Americans and the loss of their leaders, began a slaughter of their conquered foes. To the credit of the British oiilc.ers It must be said that they tried in vain to stop them. Of the 157 brave defenders of Fort Griswold, 71 were killed, GO badly wounded and only 20 succeeded in’ escaping from the place of ..slaughter unliarmed. The British loss was 48 killed and 143 wounded. . Ledyard’s sacrifice was in vain, ’for Arnold con­ tinued ids march to New London end reduced it and its shipping to ashes. But Sir Henry Clinton’s expedition failed in its main purpose for Wash­ ington, grieved though he was at Connecticut’s plight, kept on to York- lown and to victory. .

(Prepared by the United gtntei Department j at Agriculture.) j Tlie ojfcie of extremes of overpro- } dilution and underproduction of bogs ; is an undesirable feature of the hog I business, resulting In prices which j give good profits at one time and poor profits or even losses at others. According to investigations by Se* j wall Wrjght, of the bureau of ani- ! mal industry, United States Dspurt- , ment of Agriculture, a careful consld- j oration of all conditions which con- I tribute to the making of prices would result In a more careful planning of breeding operations by farmers. A study of this subject covering the pe­ riod front 1871 to. 1015, years consid­ ered to be to a large extent free from unusual Influences, Is published iu de­ tail In department' bulletin No. 1GGG entitled "Corn and Hog Correlations.’! Corn and Hogs. The relations between com and hogs .is a means of allowing probuble de­ velopments In the hog market are con­ sidered of major Importance because of the large percentage .of the corn crop, used in feeding tills kind of live stock. If is brought out tlmt only about one- sixth of the «orn crop is ordinarily marketed, and attention is called to an. estimate of the United States -De­ partment of Agriculture that 00 per cent of.the prop is ordinarily fed to hogs,- Although large quantities of corn are regularly fed to other farm animals, the hog industry is most clas­ tic because of the prolificacy of swine and the early age at which they ore marketed and'therefore Is most sensi­ tive to variations in corn factors. Price Influences. ’ Among tlie various conclusions reached as n result of this investiga­ tion, is that tho price paid by pack-1' ers during a given seuson do not de­ pend wholly-.on-the .-actual supply of­ fered, but are Influenced directly or indirectly to -a great extent by cur­ rent and prospective conditions throughout the country suclr as the amount of tjreeding that has been done and the tendency of corn prices.,From tlie results reported It would seem that farmers might do better by studying many contributing conditions Instead of-rushing into hog raising when prices are high and cutting down their oper­ ations when prices ure not satisfac­ tory. The farm price of hogs was found to have.a close relation with tlie packer price, but logs behind sev­ eral months. The bulletin Is to a large extent technical and designed for those win. -.visit to .go deeply Into the study of conditions affecting the production and marketing of hogs. However, tlie conclusions reached are of great im­ portance and value to all producers o f pork.

HOME-MADE CANDIES This is the time of the year when a box of good candy is .appreciated. The following are a few good ones worth trying: Butterscotch.— Take two cupfuls of g r a n u l a t e d s u g a r , one-half cupful of mo­ lasses, one cup­ ful of butter and epok until the mix­ ture forms a hard crack in cold water. But one cupful of chopped peanuts in tlie bottom of a well-buttered dripping pan and pour over the boiling hot sirup. When cool mark into squares nnd break apart. Divinity Fudge.—Take two cupfuls of sugar, two-thirds of a cupful of corn sirup, one-third cupful of water, boll \vlthout stirring until it forms a brittle ball In cold water. Pour the hot sirup over two well-heuten egg whites nnd one-half cupful of seedless raisins, one-half cupful of chopped walnuts and a teaspoonful of vanilla. Pour into a greased pan and when cool cut into squares. Raisin Fudge.—Put one-half cupful of milk, two cupfuls of sugar, one square of unsweetened chocolate In a pan and cook without stirring until the mixture forms a soft ball In cold water. Remove from tho Are, add a tnblespoonfut of butter, nnil cool. Then add one-lmlf cupful of raisins, one teaspoonful of vanilla nnd bent until the mixture is creamy. Pour into buttered pnn and mark Into squares as soon as it is cool enough. Chocolate Delight,—Break one pound of chocolate Into the top of a double boiler, melt, and add two unbeaten eggs, stir until combined. Ydd cne cupful of blanched almonds, sliced thin and beat well, turn on a buttered' plate and mold into one large ball. When partly chilled form Into small balls and -roll them in sifted powdered sugar. Peanut Brittle.—Shell a quart of peanuts, remove the brown skins nnd roll or chop, not too flue, i ’qt one pound of sugar into a perfectly smooth omelet pan, place over the tire and stir constantly until melted to a sirup j add the nutmoats with one-fotirth tea­ spoonful of soda anil pour into a wen- buttered dripping pan.

That's a rtart and, multiplied by a hundred, 'it would give the country a good beginning for an ai£ fleet. • Fortunately Ilenvy Ford and his son Edsel B. Ford are in the air­ craft field.

Enterprises grow rapidly in the United States when people become really interested. If your friend has a bad cold, he polite, smile, bow, say. "I never saw' you looking better,” but don’t shake hands. That is the advice of Dr, Sund- w-all, of Michigan University. Influenza is spread by handshak­ ing. You get the germs from your friend’s hand, transfer them to your handkerchief and then to your. nose. Profitable Fruit Tree Is Broad and Spreading Trees should be broad and spread­ ing to be able to carry a large crop of fruit which can be •economically cared for and harvested. They must also be sirong enough to stand up under the load of fruit.' Their branches cannot lie again and again "benched.off’’ at laterals in vain efforts to produce spread. The natural nnd economical way to secure this spread is through the weight of the fruit, Build the branch In such a wny that the puli of the crop will nil be In one general di­ rection. The spreading will be gradual lis the trees come into bearing, and the branches will strengthen with each successive crop ns they come down. Tlie breakage will be very small. Keep the brandies loosely built, with the hulk of tlie bearing surface on the out­ er side, nnd broad-spreading trees will result. Cooperation History Tlie history of agricultural co-opera­ tion in the United States runs back to the Civil war. Records of the United States Department of Agriculture show that tlie first co-operntlve cheese fac­ tory was established In 1SG3, and the first organization of fruit and vege­ table growers in 1878._ Two organiza­ tions of grain growers" were formed In 1887, followed In 181)0 by an organlza tion of live stock raisers. Tlie co-op­ erative movement has developed slow ly while other pioneers were putting tlielc theories into practice.

Sketches in colored floss, of •blogs that children love, adorn it and md show that it is up to date In style. Just as the virtuous complain that women leave nothing ,to the imagination, they suddenly (decide to cover up again. “Dress is to be more subtle" this season than in other seasons. • That isn’t saying much, for there is nothing subtle about a lady barebacked to her waist, in • the evening, with a skirt above' her knees in the day time. But fashion really’means to re- ; form for the moment. Arms that have been naked from the top of. the shoulder down, looking in some mottled cases like a butcher shop exhibit, are now to be cov­ ered with “soft mysterious veil­ ing.” Thanks, for that, with or without .the mystery., And shawls of brilliant colox-s. worn “to re­ veal personality," will cover . up almost everything. ■ _ Thus again we learn that it is always darkest' before dawn. Women go just so far n one. di- Handshaking is foolish and ar­ chaic, anyhow, as foolish as Indians rubbing noses. Primitive man stretched out his right hand to show there was. no knife in it, and to reassure the stranger. That’s hardly necessary now. “The shingle; headache,” or “bobbed hair neuralgia," has ar­ rived, and was inevitable.- Silly women, not content to cut their j hail- short, actually allow the bar- < ber to shave the back of the neck, uncovering that part of the body most sensive to cold, the little hollow at the base of the skull. Gut your hair that way, then motor with your back to the driver, and you have found the . short cut to acute neuralgia and pneumonia* At Council Bluffs, Jasper Mc­ Donald, negro, twenty-seven years old, pleads guilty to criminal assault, and "within an hour is sentenced to life imprisonment.
