II has been said that the seed OF the
globe turnip when growing increases
its own weight fifteen times within

exceedingly minute, being not iarger
than the. twentieth part of an inch In
diameter, and yet In the course of
few months the seed will he developed

this In addition TO considerable

On peat ground turnips have been
found to increase by growth 1880
times the weight of their seed each
day they stood.
The funguses offer an instance OF re-
markably rapid growth. The great

Already, in the seating arrangement
Of the Democratic ladies' at the coming
dinner ia Washington, the seating OF
Mrs. Champ Clark between Mrs. Cleye-
land aud Mrs. Bryan is protested. The
objection is III no way personal, but
grows out of a fear that such recogai-
ton Of Mrs. CLARK would be recogni-
ton of Mr.. Clark as the next logical
candidate of his party. These Demo
Gratis are actually beginning TO think
they are going to elect a president this

The Monitor and the Merrimac
which engaged in decisive combat fifty
years ago Saturday, would appear like
crude fighting machines in the present
day, but the spirit of the contestants
would not be- dimmed by comparison
with the spirit that might be displayed
to-day. 1t was the fighting American
spirit, then, such as one might wish to
see displayed again should the occasion
require when the United States was
fighting solidly against q. foreign foe
Still, one wishes that the occasion may
not arse.-Barre Times.

The fact that "visitors' week" in the
Newport public schools brought out six
hundred parents and friends Of the schol-
airs goes to prove that every week III the
school year ought to be visitors week
and that the parents, in particular,
should take the trouble to investigate
the conditions which surround their
children during the greater part of the
day. 1t would be easier for the teach
ers, too, if the parents would make their
visits at intervals during the school
year, rather than to crowd them togeth-
er in six days. Barre parents have been
invited from time to time to visit the
schools-indeed, the commissioners each
year urge them to do so-yet they rarely
accept the invitation, apparently trust
ing that everything is going we'll, as
perhaps it is. Nevertheless, it would
encourage teachers and pupils alike if
the parents should display more interest
in the schools. Such large attendance
as that at the Lincoln school exhibition
is COMMUNICATIONS Times.

The annual meeting of the Road
Commissioners for Essex County will
be held in Guildhall, on Thursday,
April IL, at 1890 a. nj, as provided in
Sec. 4008 P. S.
Should it be impossible for any COM
missioner to attend the meeting held in
his own county, he should attend one in
such other county as is most convenient.
1t is of the utmost Importance that every
road commissioner becomes thoroughly
informed as to his duties under the new
road laws, and in no other way can he
do this so effectively, as by attendance
upon the meetings, and participation in
the discussions.

FRIDAY, MARCH Is, 1912.

Senator Pages earnest, persistent and
well directed efforts to realize the great
idea embodied in Senate Bill No. 3, has
gained so far the approval of eight out
of the eleven members of the committee
on Agriculture aud Forestry, who have
favorably reported it; and it is, in con-
sequence of the approval of such ma
iority, quite likely to pass the Senate.
This in itself is gratifying victory to
the public spirited author OF the Bill,
and to host of appreciative educators,
editors..and business men who had also
strongly advocated al extension OF our
educational system to the branches OF
manual labor. The present day condi-
tions, of which the rapidly increasing
population is the most important fea-
ture, is a problem that can not be dealt
with 10y the state authorities, and the
Federal governments cooperation should
without delay, be given, as only 80 can
adequate provision for the demands OF
tomorrow be insured. And Senate Bill
No. 3 is skilfuly designed to meet the
need that has already been felt for a
higher degree of efficiency in the pro-
duction of the necessaries oil life, and. IN
home economics.
Senate Bill No. is indeed great big
measure of which any public man may
we'll be proud to have advanced to the
favorable consideration of such body
as the capable Committee on Agriculture
and Forestry.

The Flag and the Anarchist

Under Section 1925 of the Penal Law
the State of New York seeks to protect
the American Flag from insult. The
provision, paragraph 16, reads as
follows;
Any person who shall publicly mutt.
late, deface, defile or defy, trample upon
or cast contempt, either by words or
acts, upon such flag shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor.
The Italian, Felix Adolfo, who stamp
ed upon small American Flag, and
then set it afire, at meeting in Lied
erkrapz Hall, on Manhattan avenue,
Sunday night, after the meeting had
been addressed by Emma Goldman and
other anarchists, violated this law. He
deserves and will get the prescribed pen
atty. Perhaps he did not know the law
existed He did know that he was in.
sulting America. That is enough.
Most of the Italians in America are
both law-abiding and appreciative of
what they enjoy here. This is true of
nearly all our foreign born population,
OF whatever race. No one needs to get
excited over the offence of Adolfo.
The stern enforcement of the law is
sufficient. As for Emma Goldman. her
intelligence avoids generally any person.
al law breaking. Nevertheless her free
speech is license rather than liberty
and she doubtless inspires outrages in
which she takes no other part. She
would be dangerous firebrand in som,
lands. Here she is more of an offensiy,
joke than concrete peril.-Brooklyr
