 Could Support Our Entire Population,
 If the 10 per cent of our cultivated area was cultivated as is Japan. 1t would more than support our present population.
 If the 20 per cent. of tillable land now farmed in Connecticut produced even an ordinary crop (measured by foreign production), it would furnish nearly all the food supplies our people here consume.
 If the tillable area of Connecticut was cultivated at it is in France, Den mark and England. we would not only raise all the food supplies for our own people, but would have a larg surplus to spare.
 Farming Can Be Profitable.
 Farming in Connecticut may be a lost art, and yet farming in other countries where the land has been un- der cultivation for a thousand years is a profitable industry.
 James J. Hill says:
 The one question of supreme i'm portance (to the American people) is to extract from the soil the maximum production at the minimum cost Upon this solution depends as to what is the cause and remedy of the present high cost of living. The farm is the only hope of our national salvation and un- til it's production can be increased anC produced cheaper, we can have no ma teriaI relief from the present high cost of living"
 Our people for a generation have been fiocking to the cities and oul farms are deserted. and yet the French peasantry are the most pros eprous (money having) of any people on the face of the earth. We must de. wise some method to make our farm ing attractive to our young men an( profit must be the greatest attraction.
 We talk about the beef trust beins responsible for the high cost of living and yet never has beef brought a, high a price on the farm as today our grain foods are equally as high our population increasing, and ou production per acre increasing. Agricultural Enterprise to Help.
 There is no relief in sight, excep the spirit of agricultural enterprise and we appeal to you that it is tn duty of every citizen of Connectncu to encourage agricultural enterpris or the time will soon come when tn high cost of living will close the mar kets of the world to our manufac turers.

ATLANTIC DEEPER WATERWAYS Fifth Annual Convention in sep4em Der in New London-Many Notable Men to Attend.

Trade bodies throughout the e9Jt are receiving the invitations to the fifth annual convention of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways association, which is to be held in New London, SCptem Der 4, and 6. this year. The an nouncement states that invitations to this convention are being sent to the president and vice president of the United States to the goverFDrs of states and mayors of cities akjng the Atlantic seaboard, to the senator's and representatives, and to leading trade bodies, from all the Atlantic coast states.
 The headquarters of the convention will be at the Hotel Griswold, one of the most beautiful and palatial sum- mer resorts on the whole Atlantic coast.
 New London is particularly Interest ed in the completion of the Atlantic intracoastal waterway. At the entrance to Long Island Sound, and yet on the safe side of Point Judith, it Is a nat ural distributing point for a large part of New England. Blessed with a matchless hapbor, served by compet- Ing railways, and about to eXpend a
 state appropriation of S1,OS0,OOO on
 public port terminals, it is indeed a l bright star in our galaxy, and one that l lights us toward our goal
 Are we to sit forever idle, while the great bulk of the national aDpropria-
 tions for waterways improvements go i into western streams, where traffic is | almost non- existent, while our indus trial and agricultural territory in the east, supporting the densest popula- ] ton in the land, teeming with activ- ! ity, congested with commerce, lags be- l hind, almost unconsidered? These are | considerations which impel us to call | for an attendance at the New London | convention which shall outstrip any 1 thing that has yet been seen at a meeting of this association.
 | Arrangements are being made for a large excursion from Philadelphia | New York Baltimore and southern
 points, of which fuller details will shortly be made known. Automobile
 tours are forming from many New
 England points All signs point tc 1 the largest and most effective conven- | tion in the history of this association

what RslI Happlnesp Meang.

Few individuals are absolutely
happy. They have their burdens that
annoy them, or they haven't enough
money, or they seek social position
or something's the matter.
The thing Is not to want what Il q
no use to want. Every ambitious per-
son must suffer a certain amount Of
discomfort. No matter what IS
achieved there is always a desire for
further achievements.
That's all right. 1t IS the spirit
Of progress, but 1t should not make
one overlook the simpler, sweeter Joys
Of life, to forget the people who love
you and do for you. SO often II is
to our own that we are the most In
considerate and thoughtless and fault
finding.
There are some women in the world
who are determined never to be
pleased, no matter what happens or
what is done for their happiness
They accept life with a challenge, as
it were. and they always Keep II up,
Happiness depends largely in having
faith in humanity, in saying pleasant
things, in thinking them, and In lIT.
ing them.
