are by law compelled to support and
educate them until they are of age.
'Then why should one who dehes
the moral laws and the laws OF MS
country to satisfy his lust, and VINO
brings into the world little innocent
children, escape the responsibilities
of fatherhood? Why should the child
be punished merely because it IS a
bastard and be denied the same pro
lection and provision that you and |
by law are compelled to give to our
children?"
That is one of the arguments used
by Judge Chas. N. Goodnow, who IS
before the legislature today in sup
port of his proposed law relating to
bastardy to take the place of the pres
ent law of 1916 under which it costs
a man but the price OF one cigar a
day to support his child.
"The present act provides $50 per
year for 10 years for the support and
education of the child" Judge Good
now said, land then at that tender
age relieves the father of all respon-
sibiity and turns the child adrift.
What education could be given a
child at 10 years which would equip
it for life's battle? Ten is the most
important age in either boyCor girl;
that is the age when they need care
and attention, and is the age when
their education should be begun in
earnest; from then until they are at
least 10 years of age they should be
educated to meet life's battle, hard as
it may be for them, handicapped as
they are by the bar sinister
"AI serious-minded people cannot
help but condemn a law that works
such frightful injustice upon the in
nocent child. And a continuance of
the present law on our statute books
is a reflection upon not only the in
telligence of our people, but the spirit
of justice of our lawmakers.

father too long, by giving the court
power to compel the support OF the
child until 18 years old; that is like
putting mortgage over young man
for Is years.
If that is true, and do not con-
cede it, yet under the present law the
courts have jurisdiction for 10 years.
If the man and woman feel the dis
grace keenly and if their misstep was,
treating their act as charitably as one
can, caused by intense love and lack
OF will power; if there is the least
spark of manhood and honor in the
man; if he is not knave and iber-
tine, the marriage relation will re-
move much of the disgrace and make
some reparation to their offspring.
IF this misstep has none of the ell
ements of affection in it, but was
caused by desire, then apply the old
adage, let him who dances pay for
the fiddler This condition of affairs,
while we may never entirely stop it,
may be lessened by following the bib
lical idea and making the way of the
transgressor hard, but considering,
for the sake of argument, this con-
tention to be true, both parties know
they were committing a wrong.

others who are innocent, should you

Quality of Business.

The quality of crops and stock is also an important factor influencing labor income. In New London coun- ty the crop returns are only fair. The crop yields especially hay and corn should be nearly doubled.
 The quality of COWS seems to be inferior on most of the 70 farms. The average receipts per COW were only $84 with $1OS on the better farms Nine farms had cows which averaged over $116 per COW. The average la- bor was s1 orr. One farm had COWS averaging $151 per cow.
 Only two farms with COWS poorer than the average male labor incomes of over $500.
 The 28 farms with cows better than average male labor incomes of. $501
 The 42 farms with cows poorer than the average male labor incomes of only SPA.
 Diversity of Business.
 Often popular opinion seems to in dicate that the specialized farms, with only one main money source are the most profitable ones. How ever, a large number of records show that the diversified farms, farms with from two to six important sources, are far more profitable for a period of years. Consequently diversity is an important factor influencing labor in come. AdCSL New L1O11uOA EOuAIS farms lack diversity.
 Eleven farms with one main source of income made labor incomes of S153, 19 farms with two main sources S25, 23 farms with three main sour ces $132; seven farms with four main sources $3S3; six farms with five main sources $698; four farms with six main sources S1, ,425.
 Diversity may be increased by the growing of hay and potatoes to sell the keeping of poultry and hogs, or by growing more fruit
 Boys and Girls Clubs.
 In regard to the National Achieve ment club County Agent War ner states that all boys and girls in the New London county schools be- tween the ages of 10 and 16 years of age may join the club by passing an examination at their schools in any of the following subjects: Namely, pota- to, sweet corn and tomato growing. Printed instructions on these subjects will be distributed in schools which will enter the achievement club. These instructions may be used to prepare the children to take examination for membership in the club. After the examinations are passed all members will be registered on a government blank and two leaders. a boy and a girl will be chosen by the members from a class or classes that will be in the school for six months at least The seeds and plants will be secured through the group leader, who will be instructed as to the source of supply Report blanks will be sent to each group leader who will distribute them to the members and each month will collect them and send them to the agent at the New London County I'm provement league at Norwich.

 At o'clock one bitterly cold morn ing last December Miss Bridgeman and I were In the Himalayas, leaving the Danjiling hotel for a glimpse of the snows as the Indians call the roof of the world. It had been raining furi- ously as we crept up into the noun tains and in the blackness of that morning there was only one star to cheer us as we somewhat dubiouSly started for Tiger Hill; two lone women carried in chairs on the shoulders of 12 strange Thibetans or Bhotans or Nepalere, queer, crazy looking men, speaking a strange jargon. But it was a solemn and beautiful ride out into the darkness and silence, zigZagging up the mountain paths, past sleeping will lageS; star after star came out, and we soon began to realize that it was going to be one of those wonderful mornings after the storm. At o'clock we reached Tiger Hill, an isolated peak 300 feet high, just as the sun was ris- ing, and there before us were the highest mountains of the world. I sup pose we could see a hundred miles in
 
 Indian plain with great rivers spark ling in the sunlight. On the other side 120 miles away was the hay pyramids of Mt. Everet, the highest mountain, and close by us, towering up into the sky more than 2s,0O0 feet was Mag Kinchinjungga, pink and white and glowing in the morning sunlight, the most stupendous picture had ever dreamed of. On the way up we had been saying that we might not see Thibet-it was forbidden Iand-and we didn't, for a heavy bank of clouds was resting on that mysterious country. But out through the cloud pierced a dozen snow-topped mountains each one touched with the rosy color of that wondrous morning Is it too fannnciful to make this marvellous vision a pro- precy? That even in the face of this awful and sobering mass, if we are true and faithful to our unparalleled opportunities, if we have a passion for yet the sunlight of Gods love will flood the whole world. Yes, even into far Thibet!

Labor income ..-yr.--.---.--. s462
 It has been found by studying a large number of farm records that there are certain factors which great ly influence the labor income. These are Size of Business, Quality of Bus mess and Organized Diversity of Bus 1ness.
 Size of Business.
 By size of business is meant the capital invested, number of crop acres and amount of stock kept.
 In New London county, size of business is very important The elev- en best farms had six more COWS and ten acres more of crops than the av- craze. The same relationship eD- ists between the capital invested and labor income. Those farms with more rhan the aveage capital had great CT average incomes than the farms with less than average capital. Of course, there are some farms with smaller business which are producing a larger labor income, but these are very few. From these facts it is evil dent that operators of a small busi- ness are handicapped and before they can produce greater results, they will need to enlarge their business. This may be done by buying or renting more. land, cropping all the ti1lab1e area on the farm keeping more and better stock, and farming more in ters,vely; or by doing the other work off the farm.

RECORDS FROM LEBANON FARMS
County Agent Warner Has Received Figures Show What Their Returns Are in Labor Income-$1 ,26O Capital Brings Return of $462 for Work Done-Requrements for Boys and Girls to Enlist in National Achievement Clubs.

Tn order to find out just what the farmers in the vicinity of Lebanon are receiving for their labor, records Of seventy farms have been taken by County Agent F. B. Warner Of the New London County Improvement Ieague. From these records it has been possible to figure out the farmers la bor income. This is found by sub stracting the total expense from the total receipts and from this sum sub tract1ng the interest actually on the capital invested. The amount left will be what the farmer actually receives for his own labor and his managerial ability. In addition, he has received a house to live in and a considerable amount of farm produce for himself and family. The following shows how the labor income is figured:

culturist of St. Louis county. Mr.. Ward is tho
roughly trained, scientific farmer, and under his
direction the thousand acres comprising the farm
will be developed along practical lines. The land
is to be cleared fast possible by the men them
selves, who are being housed in temporary frame
buildings which they have constructed, until per-
manent improvements can be made.
AS to the men themselves, no effort is made to
put guard over them. They sleep at night in a
big bunk room which is clean and airy. There are
no bars on doors windows and only night
Waterman looks after the camp. No attempt is
made to establish espionage them, for they do
not need it. Ordinary weapons such as knives and
axes within reach; in fact, the men work with
in the timber all day. In spite of this and al
the fact that such men ordinarily looked up
on with suspicion the officers of the farm make no
effort to guard themselves. They even bring some
of the men into their bunk room to sleep. We
may we'll ask, is not the suggestion to men of this
kind that they are worthy of confidence the scien-
tific way to really help them?
Mr.. Ward states that one man, bartender,
who had been sent to the farm for four months for
selling liquor to minor, has made up his mind to
become farmer. He had never used an axe in
his life before, but has now developed into good
workman.
1t is hoped that shortly the Farm commission
will be empowered to so buy and sell land that any
Industrious fellow like this bartender can buy
tract and have the supervision of the farm manager
until he can 60 it alone. The value of the cleared
farms will doubtless exceed the cost of clearing and
probably even make profit. In this case there
will be no burden on the community, and even a
small wage may be paid the men, Such plan is
to be recommended, not only because it enables
man to repay his debt to the community occasion
ed by his misdemeanor, but it gives the commun-
ty the opportunity to help that man get on his feet
again.-Robert H. Mouton in Utica Globe.
