DISCRIMINATION REMAINS.

The Clayton antitrust bill, which is
now in committee, will this week be taken
up by the Senate for final action. Consid-
cradle modification of some provisions of
the bill has been made since it was last
up for discussion in Congress. Restriction
OF interlocking directorates has been soft
ened, and other of the more drastic pro-
visions of the original bill have been dilut-
ed. But the clause exempting labor and
agricultural organizations from the opera
ton of the antitrust law remains. I'm
doubtedly the measure will be reported
back to the Senate embodying this rank
discrimination. There is no issue of labor
vs. capital raised by consideration of this
provision. 1t is an issue of simple honesty
and fair play. There is no honest reason
why one organization of citizens should be
exempted from the law while another or
glnizaton of citizens is served notice that
it must conform to the law. This is ex-
actly what is meant by Section { of the
Clayton bill

Having Il natural aptitude for electric
ity and mathematics. he soon learned
enough to earn him a commission as
"radio operator" from his department.
He commenced a series of experiments
and finally evolved a compact system
of towers, antennae and batteries at
his home, from which he could send
and receive messages. His sending
radius was only twenty-five miles, but
his receivers often caught government
dispatches from the Newport wireless
station and from Key West. distant
more than 1.500 miles.
Harry Rea, a grocer, was also inter
ested in wireless telegraphy. SignOr
conceived the idea of fitting up a sta
ton over his grocery store. He made
nearly all the paraphernalia himself
and taught Rea the code. Now when
Signor wishes a roast of beef or a
peck of potatoes or even n box of ciga-
rettes he watts out his wants on radio
waves. Rea straps on his receiver,
translates the series of dots and
dashes, and forthwith dispatches the
order The only defect in the system
seems to be the lack of some wireless
method of delivery. This is the only
instance known of such use of the
wireless.
Il wireless for groceries every day
says Signor. 81 think it will soon be
found that aerial telegraphy can be
made just as useful and expeditions
for short distances as for long ones.

agement Mr.. Sherman secured financial
records of about - average farms. The
labor income as Indicated by these records
was not high and averaged about $40.
Another important line of investigation
has been the question of soil acidity
Many tests for acidity have been made,
practically all of which show that lime is
needed up to the amount of 5000 pounds
tburnt lme) per acre. In this connection
apparatus was secured to determine APP
pIoXimately the lime deficiency. Since
difficulty in the way of increased use of
lime has been in the past the cost of OBJ
tanning it the effort has been made to
open up a lime industry within the coun-
y. There are several extensive mari de-
posits which would yield a product well
adapted for agricultural uses. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY expected that these efforts will
shortly prove successful

Governor Blease of South Carolina,
who has pardoned or paroled 1000
convicts in the last three years, pro-
poses to have the state penitentiary
emptied by August l, and he has no
apology to offer. He says he works
by the Golden Rule and whoever OBJ
iects to that is not Christian. But
in practicing the "Golden Rule he
seems to overlook the public, which
has suffered at the hands of the
horde of criminals he has turned
loose. An executive like Blease is a
menace to the public.

BENNINGTON FARM EXPERT.
Work of County Agent Shows Active
Useful Season.

John L. sherman, Bennington county
farm agent, has for the past year visited
31S farmers on their farms. the majority
of them several times. He has addressed
II meetings. including fertilizer, spraying
and pruning demonstrations, with an ag-
eregate attendance of / 003. For the most
part the effort has been to have these
meetings small in number but intimate in
character. In covering the county Mr.,
sherman has travelled during the year, by
automobile, 5000 miles and by railroad
900 miles.
This year Mr.. Sherman is working with
p farmers as corn demonstrators, with
20 a. oat demonstrators and 10 as potato
demonstrators. BY July II he will also
have 20 cover crop demonstrations. These
demonstrators agree to grow a certain
area of a specified crop strictly in accord
ance with the directions furnished by the
county agent

Keeps Careful Records.

Careful records are kept of the cost of
production, yield, etc, in order that accu-
rate comparisons may be made between
the results obtained by these methods and
by those methods ordinarily in use. Last
year one of the corn demonstrators sue
ceeded in raising 120 bushels of shelled
corn on an acre at a net profit of $40 go,
very substantial increase over the re
turns from an acre as ordinarily cultivat-
ed.

been received from Germany to con
tradict the British reports Of the al

these British reports. There is no
confirmation OF the reports that the al.
lies have reoccupied Ostend. The Ger
mans are reported to be hastily en-
trenching around Strassburg. The
Russian battle news is still contra
dictory.
