THE VITAL PROBLEM Of
AGRICULTURE
BY Peter Radford.

|Rero 10 40 escaping the market
D1cm HDd tine nlgnesI oeyeloDment
f agriculture Will not be attained
until 1t is solved. for a market
is as necessary for the producer
As land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti-
ftutions have spent $4,000, 900 in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
fof agriculture.
The problem Is q monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until 1t gets within the grasp of a
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon 1t. 1t Is q problem which the
farmers. merchants. bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods Of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans Of marketing, but does not be-
|ueye In promoting one to the neglect
,of the other. We consider the work
fof farm demonstrators valuable and
I'VE ask that governmental and com.
lmerclaI agencies seeking to help us,
lconnnoe to give us their assistance
}end advice. but we believe that their
iinnuence should be extended to the
marketing side Of our farm problems
|also.
We cannot hope to develop manu-
[iacturing by over-production Of the
factory; we cannot build up mercan-
pile enterprises by the merchants load
Ing their shelves with surplus goods
and no more can we develop agricul.
|ture by glutting the market with a
surplus Of products.

Watch Yourself.
(Meriden Journal.)

There Is a great deal less heard of men aging rapidly and going to pieces after forty compared to what was the rule some years ago and now a man who is going on into middle life finds that he is just getting where he can find more real joy out of living if he only takes care and does not overdo. Dr. Bolduan. a New York specialist, has answered this question of, how can the man over forty keep his health and youth by declaring that if he does not overindulge he has no cause to worry.
 In other words we must live sim pier and take more care of ourselves unless we wish to break up rapidly. Although the physician urges a some what Spartan program still it is not necessary to deny oneself all the things one likes just because he or she has passed the first flush of youth.
 On the other hand there is just as much harm in letting go as there is in going to strong. If we are content to sit back and call ourselves old then we will look old and act old, but if we take a keen interest in life and not permit ourselves to think of age then we are apt to stay young.
 There is then a happy middle ground which should find the man or woman of middle age doing the things that they did when they were young CT. only there must be a watch kept and these sports and other activities done a bit more sedately and with out the hurry and slam of youth.

NINETEEN LIVES LOST
santa Clara Night Watchman Had
 Thrilling Experience. VI

Washington, oree Nov. 4.-There seemed little doubt today that the eight passengers and three membesa Of the crew of the steamer santa Clara who have been missing since the vessel grounded inside Coos Bayi bar Tuesday, would be added to the list of the eight known dead, bringI ing the total of fatalities to nine- teen.
 A thrilling experience was that of C. Carlson, night watchman of the Santa Clara. He was an occupant Of one of the ships boats which cap- sized as it was launched. He swam in the darkness to the shore but found himself against a precipitous cliff and could not get out of the water. After clinging to the cliff as long as he could and shouting Vainly for aid, he swam back to the wrecked steamer and was pulled aboard. He was finally sent ashore in the brooches buoy. A

 WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Mass Meeting in Carnegie Hall To- night to Consider Plans of Several
 New York Organizations.

New York, Nov. 4.-Plans of sev- eral woman suffrage organizations to begin a new campaign for votes for women will be considered at a mass meeting to be held under the aus pices of the Empire State campaign committee in Carnegie hall tonight. Speakers will represent the woman suffrage party, the national Woman Suffrage association, the New York State Woman Suffrage association, the Mems League for Equal Suffrage and other allied organizations.
 One of the chief questions is the meth od to be adopted for obtaining the vote. While some of the leaders favor another attempt to obtain suf- frage by constitutional amendment, others are opposed to another refer endum in New York state.
 Notable among the latter is Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, president of the Womens Political union. The plans of that union will be formulated at a meeting of it's executive board on Saturday. U
 A rreeting of the National associa- tion opposed to woman suffrage was called for today to plan for new battle against suffrage.

 Magnificent Discourse of the
 Spokesman of Republican France.
 Paris, Nov. 4, 5:3O A. M.-The morning papers unite in their editorial columns in praise of Premier Briand' S declaration in the chamber of depu- ties yesterday. Even the royalist press agrees that he said in clear terms what it was necessary to say, and promised unequivocally a policy of resolute action.
 The anarchist, Gustave Nerve, calls the speech "The magnificent discourse of the spokesman of republican France
 The Journal says all parties have again bound themselves together in close union around the government from the right to the extreme left having confidence that M. Briand will act energetically for the defence of the country
 "The premier has spoken not only like a brave patriot but with the fore sight of a statesman" writes the socialist, M. Rouanet, in Humanite.
 Alfred Capus, in Figaro, singles out for praise M. Briands declaration that negligence will be punished relent- lessly, and his assertion that the enemies of France must not count on her becoming weary or discouraged.

Brigadfer General Thomas F, Davis, commander, said he would take every precaution to prevent any firing into Douglas. 1T do not propose to see an American town shot up," he said. General Davis issued instructions to residents on the American side of the boundary to keep within doors, get behind adobe walls and not to trust to wooden barriers to keep out bull lets.

Reports from Major General Fred erick Funston to the war department on the border situation around Doug- las and Agua Prieta, as it existed upon his arrival at the former place to take command of the American forces, did not allay anxiety on the part of the administration for the safety of Americans on the border
 While General Funston reported that the first attack by General Villas forces on Agua Prieta was repulsed with heavy losses for the Villlstas, he made it plain that many bullets

It is not. understood that General fun- ston asked for instructions to cross the border but that he considered It wise to have discretionary authority to do so in an emergency.

When he went out to investigate boy ran up to him and offered to get the Whir for ten cents. Innocent Nader gave him the dime and his only reimburse ment was a delightful laugh from the l youngster and the appalling informa. t1on that i've got the whip and ten cents too, so long, old man." Another boy then offered to get the whip fol quarter but Nader was now wise and said the whip must be first turned over to him before he would part with any more coin. At this point, he said Sarra came out and pushed him in the face.
 Sara admitted striking Nader but said it was because he came into his brothers store and made such com. motion that he ordered him out He refused to go and it was finally nee. essary to hit him before he left, voic.
 ing his protests in yells.

the Housatonic River. which ramhles
into Stratford from the Berkshire
Hills, is crossed and the tourist comes
to Milford, at the mouth of the Wepo-
waug River. This place became a part
of the colony of New Haven in 1864.
There is a bridge, erected in 1889,
the 250th anniversary Of the settlement
of Milford. The regicide judges Of
King Charles are supposed to have
made Milford one of their hiding places.
There is a direct road from Milford
TO New Haven, which crosses the West
River Bridge, the scene of a Revo-
lutionsry engagement.
New Haven is filled with points Of
interest, in addition to the many large
buildings comprising Yale University.
On Chapel Street is a house erected by
Roger Sherman, signer of the Declara-
ton of independence and first Mayor
of New Haven, in 1879. Benedict Ar
mold was a druggist and bookseller in
New Haven. Centre Church, on the
Green, was erected in 1914. In its
crypt are 40 tombstones bearing dates
prior to 1879. There is a fine motor
drive up East Rock. On West Rock
is a cave in which the regicide judges
hid for many months.
On this tour the route crosses the
Quinnipiac River, at the head Of the
harbor of New Haven. The first suburb
is East Haven, where the tourist gets
a glimpse of Lake Saltonstall. on which
the college boat races were formerly
held.
The route leads on 10 Bradford,
where may be seen the Blackstone
Memorial Library, said to be the finest
in Connecticut. 1t was presented to
the town by Timothy B. Blackstone, a
Western railroad president. The route
keeps away from the shore and runs
through Guilford, settled in 1889.
There is still standing in the town

as museum.
