TWO INTEkNATIONALS.

A distinct service IL rendered to tho
community by Prof. Frank Moore
Colby and his publishers. Dodd. Mead
and Company, in keeping up the
record Of the events Of the year In
The New International Year Book"
Of which the volume for 1914 is now at
hand. 1t Is the only publication Of
Its kind that Is now issued: a book
that provides space enough to tell
succinctly what has happened without
being limited to the brief statements
OF the almanacs. The year books
have value apart from that Of the
moment because they tell Of many
things and persons important at the
time but that soon disappears, so that
the back volumes of the "Interna-
ttonal" and Of the Appleton that pre-
ceded II are In constant use for
reference. The volume for 1914 is
fully up to the standard Of its prede-
cessors: It gives accounts OF progress
in every department of the arts and
sciences. II contains Biographies of all
persons Of note who died during the
year or who became prominent: IL
provinces compact accounts OF the
countries OF the earth and OF their
history during the year and touches
on all topics that have engaged pub
lie attention. The war in Europe
naturally receives much notice. There
are many illustrations. but the maps
are conventional. There was an op-
portunity for number of large. de-
tailed maps Of the fields Of operations
which would have been helpful.
We are glad to note also the rapid
advance of THE New International
Encyclopedia" Dodd. Mead and Com
pany). OF which four new volumes. .
to IL. containing articles from Fora
minifera' 10 "Jouy," have come to us.
Alphabetically this IL about half way
through the whole work. and at the
rate at which the volumes have been
coming the encyclopedia should be
complete by the end OF the year. II
is the latest and therefore the most
up to date Of the encyclopedias: the
articles are Intentionally compact and
are prepared by competent authorities.
and the practice OF providing biogra-
phies of many persons still living Is
kept up. The size and shape OF the
volumes make them unusually con-
venient to handle.

is not so much an account Of what

Of what has been done. The author
has read an amazing amount Of the
literature evoked by the war that has
appeared in English. especially the edi-

have had less opportunity or leisure to
follow the polemics OF the war will find
the copious extracts that he prints

considers not merely what has been
said about the origin and conduct OF
the war. and particularly the invasion
and treatment OF Belgium, but also the
German propaganda In tho United

should do and the surmises as to the

Fish and Game Commission and Protective Association Working in Harmony Ac- complish Much.

Through the agencies of the Fish and Game Commission and the Fair field County Protective Fish and Game association that waters and game preserves throughout the state have been liberally supplied with trout and pheasant In addition the great est number of young Holsters ever lib erated in the Sound since the exis- tence of the hatchery at Noank Conn have been freed.
 Bridgeport, spots where the public E may fish for trout. have been stocked with supplies sent from Windsor Locks, amounting to 26 cans. These are the fngerling size. If the streams do not dry up by excessive drau ghts during the coming summer they shoul during the coming summer. they should develop successfully.
 Likewise woods surrounding Bridgeport have received over 20 pair of pheasants in the last three months. It is expected that these birds will naturalize themselves in the vicinity and that by propagation later will make hunting good here.

SPECIAL EDITORIAL FEATURE

The Farmer takes pleasure in am nouncing that 1t has. arranged for a special feature Of vital interest to every home. to begin within few days. This will consist Of a series of six editorial articles, on the sub- ject High Cost of Distributing Food Products.'' It is contributed by an editorial writer Of national reputa- ton, after interviews with some of the leading home economic specialists in the country
 There will be given graphic 1nstan- ces of the needlessly high cost of get ting food products from producer to consumer, and awkwardness of pres- ent methods will be shown. Sug gestions will be made as to how need less costs and unuecessary profits are to be reduced.
 This feature will interest every housewife who gives the orders, ev- cry householder who pays the bills, and has special application to the problems of the farmer and retailer. 1t alone will be worth the price of the paper while the series is running
