THEN-and-NOW

Today the oil wells of the United States are anually producing nearly two-thirds of the crude petroleum consumed throughout the world The yield reaches the enormous total of about 10,000, 900, 900 gallons a year with a wholesale value es- timated at s5oo,000,000. They have created the greatest single fortune in the world, Rockfeller's. Scores of other mu1timillionairee owe their present wealth to the sticky fluid. Oil has called into existence huge webs of pipe lines, aggre- gating more than 25,000 miles in length, which convey the crude product of the oil wells to the re- fneries where 1t is transformed into its many forms of commerce gasoline, naphtha, theraputio oint- ments and jellies, illuminating oils, greases oil-carrytng vessels and poisonous dyes. It has created great fleets of specially designed oil-carrying vessels that sail the seven seas distributing the product of American oil wells to all parts of the earth, In the guise of gaso- line 1t Is driving the millions of automobiles through the world. 1t supplies the power for vessels and railroad engines. It has driven wax and tallow candles from the market by substituting one of its by-preducts, parafln, which IS made up annually into 300 ,ooo, 900 candles of more than TOO different varieties.

CONNECTICUT APPLES,

That there are prospects Of large a- rle crop this year is of interest to all lovers and raisers of the fruit wherever they may be located. but coupled with the statement that the con sumption of apples at the present times per capita is no where near as grca1 as 1t was several years ego 1t Imposes a greater task upon the i1rarketfng of the crop.
 In this task New England has as great concern as any other section fer lit is bound to enjoy the gift of na- -ture in accordance with the rest of the country. New England and Con necticut can and does raise as de- licious and attractive apples as the west, but it has been the experience tin years past that considerable por- :Htion of the crop has been made little use of being allowed to remain on sthe trees or go to waste for lack of "a market.
 This is a problem which needs to be strongly attacked by the combined efforts of producer and consumer both for the purpose of stimulating a greater interest in such culture in the east and for the economic benefit which is obtainable thereby. Distri- button is what is demanded for the development of apple growing and the increase in the consumption of the fruit which is of much food value and until the producers of the east
 make their apples as available as those of the west, there is bound tc sfe the deplcrable waste. Instead .oi .teirg ai1cwed to rot on the trees such Connecticut fruit should be the Hrsi for Connecticut consumption.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
WoMAN's SPHERE.

Mme. Peddrazza, who was Miss Clark of Buffalo, returned to America after an absence of five years. She married a Spaniard. Although en- tirely contented herself, she condemns marriages between American girls and Europeans.
 Spain" she says, -'is essentially a mans country. The woman are half a century behind the times. Not even a married woman is supposed to gu out alone in the street by day or by night. The American girl either re- bels against the artificial restrictions OK they break her spirit"
 That phrase, "a mans country" Is a bit of thought radium, and sends sharp rays in all directions.
 "A mans country That is wha; is the matter with Spain, also all con tinental Europe, and in still more marked degree of the Asiatic orient and of savage Africa.
 Wherever you find a mans country you find fxity of absurd custom ancient fraud buttressed and impreg nable. injustice established by law an6 maintained by force. Mexico is g mans country

FAMOUS TRIALS
TRIAL OF HORNE TOOKE.

The dissatisfied American colonists of England prior to the revolution found many ardent sympathizers at home. Many of them were out of true, patriotic motives and others no doubt on account of grievances they had with certain English statesmen who were doing all in their power to pre- cipitate war. There was strong party in England known as the op- position leaders. who frequently ap pealed to the principles of freedom yet there is no doubt that the war feeling was popular in England, and the vast majority of that nation ap- proved of the North cabinet, Chief Justice Lord Mansfield, and others. who were for crushing rebellion and preserving British ascendency.
 One of the most outspoken of these lovers of liberty was Horne Tooke, and his sentiments in favor of the Americans led him to become charged with libel and placed on trial Tooke was a man of remarkable acuteness and power of sarcasm. The charge against him was for writing an ad- vertisement proposing a subscription ito be applied to the relief of the our beloved American fellow subjects, who, faithful to the character of the English race, preferred death to slav- cry and were, for that reason only, inhumanly murdered by the kings troops at Lexington and Concord, in the province of Massachusetts"
 When Tooke was placed on trial he conducted his defense in person against the English attorney-general Thurlow. Lord Mansfield heard the case. It was Tooke's prime object to provoke Mansfield to a sally of inn patience, of which he might have taken advantage, and he even cross examined some printers of news papers respecting their having been intimidated by the court, but in this he was foiled, for the chief justice re- mained throughout calm and com placent.
 The trial of Horne Tooke began on Nov. r, 1794. and lasted for six days. The solicitor general in presenting the case claimed that Tooke had en- gagged in a conspiracy to effect a change in the sovereign power. the king, lords and commons; that he had to accomplish his ends, not only quarreled with the administration and the form of government, but the principles of the constitution. He then adverted to the various societies throughout England. particularly the Constitutional and London Core | spending societies, of which Tooke was leading spirit. He said he would attempt to prove that Tooke

 of Mex1eo is not going to be perrna- nently accomplished in a twinkling. It is going to follow as the result of "a strong backing of such a policy which for q certain time must have the backing hf an army large enough to overcome the revolutionary dis posftion which so frequently crops out. Constitutional government he well knows is what the country needs and what this country will insist upon, and when he declares that henis not seek ing the presidency. the situation comes down to the joining of the Carranza end Villa influences for the rebuilding of the nation and the replacing of mill itary government with the educational forces which the country needs.
 If diplomacy instead of force can bring together these factions for such a result 1t will render service to thak republic which is immeasurable.

WORTH GOING FOR.

The business interests of this coun = try have been brought face to face with some interesting facts in con- nection with the possibilities which hover over the South American field, That it is part of the world where Vur foreign trade needs deveI- opnent has long been recognized but just how much we have been neglect . ing the opportunity has been only tmeagerly understood. It doesn't seem ito have been fully realized that South America has a large population whose wants are being satisfied extensively from other countries, and that Argen- tina in Buenos Ayres has the third largest city in the western hemisphere, being exceeded in population only by New York and Chicago.
 Argentina is only one of the btg for eign buyers but that country does an annual foreign business of about a billion dollars. How little this coun- try gets of that furnishes the incentive for greater activity in an earfy sttnau- i1ation of the foreign trade relations of these countries. If the fault in the past has been the failure to fnves- tigate that should be quickly over come, if it hasn't been. If it fs be- cause of lack of transportation and banking facilities. the time is ripe for removing that trouble.
 It is apparent that the South Amer ,ican field Is one with which this coun- try should be doing a larger business Others have been getting it because greater enterprise has been shown Having the position clearly de1ned there remains nothing for the business interests of the country Go do but tc act and act promptly. If this foreign trade is worth heyfng-E =is worth go- ing after.

INSTRUCTIONS TO BOY SCOUTS
 OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE
Asked to Discharge Lighter Work, to Release Men for Arduous War Duties.

New York, Aug. 26.-The national headquarters of the Boy Scouts of America today made public instruc- tions by Lieutenant General Sir Rob- ert s. s. Baden Powell, which he has issued to the thousands of troops of Boy Scouts in the British empire. The instructions are in the form of a statement under the heading: "The Great War, which in part folloys;
 "The sudden rush to arms on the part of the great nations of Europe against each other over a compara- lively small incident in Servia, shows why it is so essential to be prepared at all times for what is possible, even though 1t may not be probable.
 Also it shows how little are the peoples of these countries aS yet in sufficient mutual sympathy as to rem der wars impossible between them. This will be so until better under standing Is centrally established. Let us do what we can drought the scout brotherhood to promote this in the future.

Fred Grants only fault was his youthfulness. yet when he took unto himself a wife the parents of his bride vowed to forgive the youthful pair. Then. when the mother seemed ready to outstretch her arms in forgiveness to her offspring, the stern hand of her husband checked her. That good man. a minister. forgot in vexation that the very act for which he censured his daughter he would have urged others of his flock to forgive or overlook.
 The young couple sought a home in "a distant town and here they passed the first happiness of their honeymoon. But after the first newness of their new life had worn away the bride found something strangely missing in her daily life. And her husband mo- ticed the need of motherly love for his wife. but the latter's lips would set tight with the mention of any att tempt at reconciliation
 And when a little stranger gave notice of an arrival, Fred Grant again beseeohed the expectant mother to tell her mother of the news. But to all his requests and arguments she remained firm in her denial-l
 With little squares of white and delicate shades of blue and pink, the young wife fashioned many dainty garments. They were pretty but in expensive. Upon one piece she law ished much care and the finest of stitches and embroidery-the baptis- nal robe. Helen knew that at home, packed away in lavender scent, was the very robe that she herself had worn % years before. She would have liked that same robe for her own little one, but with that wide breach yawning between her and her parents, she knew it was impossible. So she made another, as much as counterpart of the other as her mind could carry it.
 baby--aH their own. It had been ex- pected for so long, yet it seemed something entirely new. And Helen was in Heaven, with her baby at her side.
 The new mother announced at once Prindle Grant. Her fathers name! The husband gasped; she would name her baby for the father she thought so cruel to her. yet she would not tell him of its arrival!
 Then came the christening. Helen insisted that this event be postponed till she could attend. When the dime arrived. she noticed that her husband acted queerly, but did not question him. Clearly something was on his mind. On the morning of the great event he tried to tell her what he had heard.

 Well, what of it? Another will d. as we'll. We don't know MT. Morse Yvery weil.' She was busy putting pins in snow-white garments and re- scented the interruption.
 After an internninable time. as il seemed to the anxious father, Heller announced that she and baby were ready. The walk to the church was short, but to the father 1t seemed end, less.
 An usher led them to the seats re. served for the sponsors and the little ones. Slowly, the music pealed forth while Fred Grant turned and twisted in his seat. He was indeed a nervou. sponsor. The rector approached tht front as the music ceased, and stood prayer book in hand. ready for thu service. With eyes for no one but her baby Helen moved along the aisle, till sh, stood so close to the rector that snt might have reached out and touched

GERMAN UNIVERSITIES
 NOT LIKELY TO OPEN.
All the Students and Professors Are
 Subject to Military Duty.

London, Aug. 26. s.40 p. m.-T. S. Elliot of St. Louis, student in the summer school of Magdeburg univer- sity, Magdeburg, Germany. arrived in London today with a number of stu dents from Freiberg and other Ger man universities which have been closed on account of the war.
 The German officials said MT. Eliot, showed the students much con- sideration and helped us in every way, but traffic was interrupted by the mili- tary operations, and there were few trains. Consequently foreigners are getting out of Germany slowly.
 "The Russian men, students have been detained and the Russian women students at dagdeburg are being cared for in a convent. It Is unlikely that any of the German universities will open this fan, as virtually all the Ger man students and likewise the profess sors are subject to military duty. Con- ditions are too unsettled for the fsw foreign students whose countries are not fighting Germany"

THE REcToR's GRANDSON

him. Fred had his eye on her and steadied her with his arm as she saw the man before her.
 Her father!
 The rector baptized the little ones as they were presented. With her heart throbbing loudly, Helen waited.
 "Name?"
 Irving Prindle Grant" came from her lips.
 The rector started. then came his clear words: T baptize thee. Irving Prindle Grant" and the service went on as usual.
 A few in the audience m& have noticed the similarity of the names, yet no greater interest was manifested in this child than had been shown in any other As he returned the child to the mothers arms. he bent his head and his lips moved. It might have been a benediction, but the mother caught the words:
 Wait for me. daughter"
 A smile lighted her face as she car ried her child away from the front and waited anxiously for the service to end. It seemed to the two young parents that there was an endless stream of little ones to be given the sign of the cross. When the rector raised his hands to pronounce the benediction over the newly enfolded lambs of God if eye rested fondly on one in particular no one but the father and mother noticed it.
 Many paused in the entry way to bestow some further blessing upon the little ones, all unconscious that among them were the daughter of the famous rector and her child.
 When the church had emptied. a side door opened and the rector ap- peared
 Daughter" folding her to him have I found you at last?"
 Helen cried against his big shoulder "Oh, father, didn't know it was you not till I stood there before you. Die you know father would be here?" sht questioned her husband.
 When he nodded, she added: 'l am glad you didn't tell: I might no have come"
 T have searched everywhere fol you, and today I might not have found you but for the name. Can vol ever forgive me-"
 "Tes, yes, we can;- and I am surt that little Irving will some day b. glad of his share in today's reunion
 The baby began to whimper as il assent to her prophecy, and the rec tor rocked him gently back and fortl in his strong arms till he once mor' fell into sunderland. Then, he spok' softly:
 Come children, we must hasten u your mother; she will be anxious t see her grandson. ."-Boston Record.

sPoHtNe SPOILED PRODUCTS.


 There is an opportunity for wide spread appreciation of the ruling which has been made by the depart ment of agriculture that henceforth all foodstuffs which have spoiled cannot be shipped in interstate commerce un- less they have been dehatured through the use of coIoring matter, oil or other material which would make it impos- sible to renoVate or to use in that condition.
 One of the greatest swindles which is prepetrated upon an unsuspecting public is the working off of spoiled products under the guise of wholesome ingredients. Such practice calls for the strictest measures which the gov ernment can devise and where it is impossible to run it down by exclusing it from interstate commerce, the state and city authorities should be actively engaged in as worthy an undertaking. If 1t Is unwise to per init the shipping of spoiled food from one state to another without de- maturing it, it should be a precaution which state authorities should likewise take. Every chance for the incorpora- tion of rotten food products into other forms of foodstuffs deserves the greatest discoura cement. The govern ment is rendering a most valuable service by it's new order without causing injury to whatever business Is legitimately conducted in the utili- zation of spoiled food products in the mechanical arts. Now that the order has been issued it should be faithfully enforced.
