FACTS AND RANCHES.

It is a we'll established fact that if the unused backyards of New England were utilized a most vafuable off, set would be made to the living ex- benseS. There is an extensive aera which goes to waste solely through negligence. It is the opinion of the federal commissioner of education that this is a matter which should be taken up throughout the country and there is no question but what there is an excellent opportunity for provid- ing good training and getting compen- snting results through interesting the school children in this very line of work in the small villages, towns and cities.-Norwich Bulletin
 It is distressing to feel that Leo M. Frank, never fairly convicted in a just court, is sentenced to die June 22 and 1t arouses our intense dissatisfac- tion with the judicial system. If the legal circumstances are such that this man cannot get fair trial the gov- ernor should commute his sentence. No court except the triai court which was swayed by the passions of the populace ever considered the evidence in the case. The judge who presid- cd, now dead, doubted Franks guilt and is on record of having so declared New Haven Union.
 Connecticut has many fine shore resorts of all descriptions It also, affords lake and mounrain vacation places all of which are easily reached by steam, trolley or automobile. All along the Sound coast can be, found enjoyable places where cottages and hotel accommo modations can be ob- tained at almost any rate one wishes to pay The Litchfield hills, with the beautiful lakes in the Valleys be- tween them. afford attractive places for those who prefer to spend their rest time inland. The same is true of Windham, Middlesex and New London counties.--H Hartrord Post.

 The young man is to die on June 22 and there is likely to be a great deal of pleading similar to that or Rabbi Wise indulged in between now and that time. Whether the author ities of Georgia can be swayed by such arguments is question difficult to decide just now, but 1t would seem as if something more might be gained bv making a more thorough search for evidence upon which new trial mirht be obtained or sufficient doubt raised as to his guilt so that the proper officials might commute his sentence. and his case more thorough Iv inyestigated. It seems at this dis tance if every legal means known has been exhausted by which lie should have another chance for his life. 1t is an awful thing to take the mans life if he is innocent. He may be the victim of circumstances and though innocent be unable to prove it, but 1t would seem as If there might be some methods open by which his innocence could be proved If he Is innocent.
 It seemed to be understood at the beginning that Frank did not want any half way business about his case when 1t came to trial. that he should be declared guilty or discharged. He did not want any life imprisonment, but he appears to be willing to accept such a sentence at present. It seems to be a rather mysterious case.

Co-operation of Nations.
(New York Commercial. )


 Civilization is the result of co-oper- ation and mankind ascends its scale in exact proportion to the collective eff forts men make to improve their con dition. This principle applies to the whole world as truly as to the small community or to the family which is the unit of society. Everybody is familiar with the progress the world has made during the last century. Improved means of transportation and communication have brought all men close together, and less time was wasted in war ana more in pursuing the arts of peace than in previous centuries. Those are, the reasons for the advance made by man. Today the work of a hundred years is be- ing undone by war and much of it must be. done over again.
 If the hatreds aroused by this war should prevail after fighting stops civilization will be set back and men will be deprived of the full blessings of peace. Each country becomes richer through contact with others. Each contributes something to the general well-being of the rest, just as tiAC SdIpCulcI, CnS SAOciudhST, the gardener, the blacksmith, and other members of a small community, serve one another to the advantage of all. Dynasties and governments may fall and disappear, but the people that are, the body of the nation remain: They cannot be destroyed or driven away without inf1icting direct loss on the rest of the world. Most of the wars of the past and the war We have to- day have been caused by losing sight of this fact. Suppressing the natural aspirations of a race is like sitting on the safety valve of q steam boiler. The longer the pressure is maintained the more violent the explosion Tn every part of the world men can do useful work and contribute to the well-being of humanity. The United States must lead in reinstating this cooperation of mankind in the arts of peace. As our president says, America must have this conscious ness that on all sides it touches el- bows and touches hearts with all the nations of mankind"

BASKETBALL RACE
WAS WELL FOUGHT
Yale's intercollegiate Title
Gain at Expense OF
Fast Field.
ITS FIRST SUCCESS
IN SEVERAL YEARS
Brown, of Cornell, the lndivid-
ual Star at Scoring, Fol-
lowed by McNichol.

Fewer races in the Eastern Inter
collegiate Basketball League have been
keener than that which wound up on
Friday night, when Yale, by smothering
the hapess Dartmouth five, clinched
the college championship with record
Of eight games won and two lost The
most remarkable feature OF the record
OF the Yale team was the fact that IN
the games in which it was beaten one
point was the margin Of defeat in one
contest and two points. after an extra
period. in the other.
II was the first basketball champion :
shin that Yale has won on the court
since 19O6-'07. when Hack Noyes's team
swept through the league. lnasmuch
es Gil Kinney, a member Of Noyess
title team. and Noyes himself coached
the New Haven five, it is small wonder
that the combination was imbued with
the championship fever from the
outset.
Cornell was second, with seven games
won and three lost; Princeton and 20
lumbia were tied for third and fourth
places, with six games won and TOUR
lost; Pennsylvania was nth WIN
three games won and seven lost, while
Dartmouth was last, with not a VIC
tory in ten games. 8,
The games of the year demonstrated
that the rules will need but little TIN
kering for another season. There were
no extremely rough games. and save IN
one instance the officials seemed TO
have the teams well in hand and to
apply the rules fairly. The Columbia
Cornell game, in New York, was the
exception.
As would be expected, Yale had the
best offensive team and scored total
Of SO field goals through the season:
This is fourteen less than the record
set by the Cornell five year ago. Cor
nell was close up with 81 goals. On the
defensive Columbia and Princeton were
on a par, with 81 goals scored against
them.
The standing OF the teams for often
sive and defensive strength is shown
in the following tables:

Columbia, Cornell, Pennsylvania and
Syracuse are the only colleges that VIII

year Not since 1899, the year before
Syracuse first entered a crew, has the
number Of the contestants fallen 70
four. The race, according 70 an an
nouncement of the board Of stewards,
will be rowed on Monday. June 2S-
With rowing definitely banned at
Wisconsin and the refusal OF the "a

nroposition TO send a crew East TINS

only four varsity eights will 70" 10
the starting line. -,
There is no hope that Annapolis will
send crew to the Hudson, because
the Middies are prohibited rowing
races of greater distance than !
mile $50 yards. The Middies did nave
a crew in the 1907 race, and hnished
third, behind Cornell and COLUMBIA
Since then there have been annual IN
vitations TO the Annapolis eight, but
none has been accepted.
II is not believed that the small held
will detract from the interest IN the
regatta The stewards will not follow
a race for single sculls, but they VIII
have the Junior varsity and freshman
race on the morning of regatta day. as
at New London, in order 10 spread the
interest over the full day and 70 keep
the afternoon free for the varsity race,
which will probably be rowed earlier In
the day than usual.
With the exception OF Columbia, all
the crews that will row have already
had their first test on real water. AS
Columbia plans 10 follow suit within
the next few days. another week VIII
see the tank turning out the 1918 com
binations under way in earnest.
Permanent boatings will probably not
be made by any Of the coaches until
well into next month. Pennsylvania,
which sprang such surprise by hnish-
ing second 10 Columbia that the other
colleges have not all recovered yet, has
been the most successful in retaining
veteran material, keping seven Of the
eight men who rowed in the varsity
combination and holding the junior
eight intact.
Syracuse has lost three veterans and
Cornell four Of their varsity men By
graduation. The Ithacans retain their
junior combination without a single
break, but Syracuse has lost three Of
the eight.
Columbia has suffered most by grad
uation. losing five veterans, while OF
the three remaining one has entered
another department OF the university
and will not be able 10 row. This
leaves only two men of the champion
ship combination. The New Workers,
however, have seven of their junior
varsity men from whom to pick

From Food Shops

When the housewife goes out to
buy the family groceries and meats
OF n Saturday night she must leave
her dog at home or tie him or her
TO the Iamppost nearest to the food
cmporium. No more shopping with
dogs. The Health Department OF
the city has put its official FOOT
down on this practice.
The ordinance forbidding the
taking of dogs into places where
groceries. meats, fruit and other
foods are displayed for sale has
been on the statute books for some
time, but has not been enforced.
The Health Department is now 60
ing to see TO IL that the ordinance
Is strictly observed.
Notices have been printed calling
attention 10 the law. and these Will
be distributed among the shopkeep-

them in conspicuous place In their
stores. This action Is said TO have
no connection with the muzzling
