80 PER CENT MORE POWER

bodies basic invention And it so excels all pre-
vous creations that it makes of this an epoch

The best former Skies in this size developed at
maximum AZ horsepower. The Super-Sx develops
76 horsepower. That means an increase of 80
per cent
In high motor speed capacity, the Super Six ex-

French Official Declares Oddities Will

Neutrality-suspicious. OF the AS

need not fear being used by France as
dumping ground for products to be
sold at sacrifice after the war" is the
opinion of Monsieur DavidMennet,
president OF the Chamber Of Commerce
of Paris and an important man in the
French cotton industry.
French goods" Monsieur David
Mennet observes, ARE generally so
well made that they must be sold dear.
If you have seen French mechanics or
artisans at work you have noticed that
it is as natural to them to give to their
product the precision and tasty finish
that characterize our productions as 1t
is for them to go through any OF the
details of daily life that have become
second nature to them. You may nave
noticed that even the clerks in shops
take infinite pains in doing up the most
trifiing packages; they may have tried
your patience, but to them II IS only
natural to hold on to the package until
il responds to a critical idea of what is
presentable. 1t is the same with all
workmen in France; articles don't
leave their hands until they can take
pride in them. When we find it neces-
sarv TO make things cheaply, we are
obliged TO import the labor TO do 1t.
Such products were never specialized

cause other measures will prevent

other articles of fashion, styles often
change suddenly and stocks of goods
out of style remain on hand. These

"A certain misrepresentation has pre-
vailed as to how the Germans were
able to compete with home products
in foreign countries. 1t was not be-
cause they could produce cheaper. A
number of the German specialties are
nearly twice as dear to make in Ger
many as in England, yet they exported
them and competed in prices. This
was possible because the profit on
goods sold at home was sufficient to
enable the sacrifice OF surplus produc-
ton abroad. This custom of German
manufacturers followed for years be-
fore the war may properly be called
an established continual system of
dumping; after the war, if they have
products to throw upon foreign mar
kets, it will be no change whatever in

Wages will probably be higher aft

will apply to raw materials for the
reason that fixed charges and general
expenses apply to them in so much
slighter measure than to manufac-

The cotton industry, in which NJ. Da-

the effect of the first conditions of the

day regarding the number of men af-
fected in the matter of increased
wages, said:
"A partial increase is asked. Three
hundred out of the 1000 men employed

are 500 machinists and tool makers
who have asked for the increase.
There may only be a portion of these
800 who will be affected, however"
Machinists and tool makers have
asked for an increase of 25 cents per

present are receiving $3.50 per day and
tool makers are getting 81 per day.

Methods Blamed for Decline.

Paris.-Superannuated methods of
farming, NJ. Charles Nordmann says
in the Revue Des Deux Mondes, are
largely responsible for the fact that
France has not, in spite of war diff
cuitles, kept its production of cereals
up to the normal. The prejudices that
existed against the substitution of the
machine for the muscles of man, he
contends, must absolutely disappear
with the accentuation by the war of
the dearth Of farm help.
All the land of France must he cul-
tivated," he says, and means must be
adopted and put into use for it's cult
walton now, because of the number OF
men who have had to drop the plough
for the rife and because of the num-
Der who will never come back TO take
1t up again.

future all German submarines coming to
the United States, whether naval or mer-
chantmen, will make either New London

submarines will enter Hampton Roads

The Small Fairs.

The grange fairs and the small town
fairs fill an important place in rural life
The big fairs with their varied attrac.
tions please the crowd, and fill a useful
purpose. They have become almost ex-
positions, but they do not to any great
extent promote rivalry among the farm
ers and their families. The exhibits of
livestock of all kinds are made mainly
by men with some of the finest collec-
tions of animals in their respective
classes in the country. These exhibitors
prepare their horses, cattle, sheep, swine
and poultry for round of the fairs.
They are out for a cleanup of the big
premiums. They have the goods and
they take the cash. The ordinary farmer
has no chance against them. But in the
smaller fairs the men who till the soil
and who raise stock on the home farms
get together in a friendly spirit, each try
Ing to excel the others. They exchange
ideas which are of mutual benefit. Their
rivalry and competition results in better
stock and better farm products. There
ought to be something in the way of a
fair in every small town in New England.

SUMMER HOMES IN VERMONT.

fers in this respect are,
Beauty and variety of scenery
Nearness to large centers of popula

| Moderate prices for suitable sites.
In order to reach a large number of
persons who may desire to purchase sites
for summer homes, the state publicity
bureau proposes to publish for free dis
tribution list of small farms and cot
tage sites for sale, and any person own
ing such property in Vermont and de-
string to sell the same may secure the in
sertion of an advertisement without
charge in the proposed book, by sending

ton, VT. Where the site includes suffi-
cient land for flower or vegetable gar
den, or has available for use good
spring of water, such fact should be
stated together with nearness to roads
and to farms where supplies may be pur-
chased.
The most desirable sites usually are
those on the shore of lake or pond, or
locations on the slope of hill or noun
tain, affording an extensive outlook. OF
the latter class Vermont contains an I'M
limited number, and most property of
this kind at the present time brings to-
the owners very little revenue.
The publicity bureau believes that
there exists an opportunity very largely
to increase Vermont's wealth and pros
perity through a judicious development
of the summer home proposition. The
idea appeals to many persons employed
in business and the professions, and par
ticularly to those employed in education
al pursuits who have long vacations. If
high prices are charged for sites not now
valuable great opportunity will be lost.
If moderate prices are established waste
places will be developed, property values
will increase, new markets will be opened
and a general desirable class of people
will become attached to Vermont. Then
people will become good customers and
many of them will become good neigh |
bors. Good morals and good business
alike demand that would-be purchasers |
be treated in spirit of friendliness and |
