DO THE PROMISES HoLp7

In Aconnection with the sinking of
steamships by German submarines.
without giving warning and without
showing any consideration for the
lives OF those aboard, there appears to
be return to the kind of warfare
on the high seas which was practiced
earlier in the conflict, with the excep-
ton that while it was international
law and the rights of humanity that
were being violated then, there must
now be added the breaking of the
promises which were made to this
country following the attack on the
Sussex.
The excuse now offered in the case
VI the Marina and the Arabia is that
the commanders of the underwater
boats made a mistake and instead of
viewing them as peaceful merchant
men, and therefore entitled to receive
warming and to have those on board
set down in place of safety, they
were treated as vessels in the service
,f the admiralty and sunk with no
more consideration being given them

Hfort was made to verify the first i'm

course that mistakes were actually
made and that they were not sunk in

LETTERS TO TIE EDITOR
Mr.. WebstePs Position.

Mr.. Editor: In your issue of the 9Th
there appeared an article stating I was
tined for technical violation of the
pure food act in disposing Of milk
found below the standard. The offence
is said to have occurred May 4, 1915.
During that spring I was asked by a
man living on the road to the station
and who kept registered Holsteins, If
woulds ship part Of his milk in my
name which I did.
When I received the notice that a
sample taken, was below standard, I
showed it to him and he said no doubt
the trouble was at his place and he
would stop at once.
I went to Hartford December 5th,
fully prepared to have my case tried,
but was informed by the district at
torney that I could not be heard
for at lease three weeks, although my
attorney made a special assignment
about two mig - before
I was preVored upon by two init
mate friends to allow the case to be
settled rather than stand any further
expense. After being told it could
be done without pleading guilty or any
expense on my part, I agreed to it.
I have shipped milk about ten years
and never had trouble until I shipped
this mans milk in my name.
Yours truly, r.

The Widespread use of motorized ap-
Paratus in the city has been followed
by altogether too many sInashups- of
apparatus, on the way to, or return
ing from fires. The combination of
weight and speed in automobile fire
apparatus is apparently dangerous
one, for the number of accidents is
| out OF all proportion to the number of
fire alarms. Under the circumstances,
the commissioners ought to set more
definite speed limit for the department
Incidentally it would perhaps be well
if the men were given more practise

pieces, which are very unwieldly to
steer. and difficult to brake. The
drivers of motor fire apparatus are
trusted with a great responsibility ard
they cannot be too familiar with the
mechanism which they must guide
through the city streets. And there is
absolutely no excuse for the mad rush
which results in upsets in touring
corners. It is far better to be a min

attempt to make such speed in a busy
city-and incidentally the chances of
arriving at the slower speed seem to
be better.-Bridgeport Telegram.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

With additional embargo placed on

the new order about car dcmurragc,

not all pleasure. However. it is just
possible a breaking point will be

The accident which occurred at the
Washington street crossing. recently,
was the aHprst happening here in
long time. The crossing has been
recognized as a dangerous one, and an
attempt was made some years ago to
remedy conditions by changing the
lines of Lake street. which runs into
Washington street right at the cross
ing. The common council dropped the
matter because Of the prospective ex-
pensc. 1t was for Lake street that the
hack was heading when struck by the
train. But, had the railroad gates
been down, the accident would not
nave happened, regardless Of the I'M
safe condition Of the crossing. The
hack driver had no chance to see the
approaching train. He was driving
south. his view was shut off by the
factory buildings, and the gates were
up.-New Britain Record.

EXAMPLE OF LABOR EFFICIENCY

Efficiency OF farm labor is often as
important as its distribution. Two
young men were blowing clover sod.
Each had two horses hitched to .
IA inch walking pillow. 1t was heavy
blowing and each team was barely
able to pillow one and a half acres q
day. One morning the men decided
to try three horses on one pillow.
They did SO, and to their great sur
prise one man and three horses cas-
lily plowed three acres per day. They
plowed as much as two men and four
horses had previously done and did
it much more easily. 1t was given
easier for the driver, because 1t Is ell
ways easier to drive a team that is
not overloaded. The new arrange
ment released one man and one horse
for other work.

THE LIMIT NEARLY

been perpetrated there day after cay
and week after week for the past
four years. Evidently Villa IL try
ing to bring on just such an inter-
position. He hates Carranza with
nameless personal hatred; IN addi-
ton he sees no hope for his country
under Carranza's presidency: he
knows there is no hope for himself
while Carranza is in power ana ,nor'

and he does not care what means hie

rage the people across the border in
the United States that they VIII
spring to arms with an irreprcssipe
determination to wreak vengeance on

but are not fit to live. There Is
double reason why President Wilson
should serve notice on Carranza to
established order in those northern
states at once, and II he cannot.

reason is that the United States has

Europe were to suddenly cease,

Public finance is no exception.
Banking, insurance and other compa-
MES also pay their money lavishly

ed that lavish display of fine stone,
metal and wood work draw in enough
additional business to pay for their
cost. Perhaps they do.
But no government ever needs to

Cheapness never pays in public con
struction. Poor material and poor
work are the most costly. But the
tax payer gets no benefit from lavish
ness. If one town does it, the neigh
hors emulate the example, and they
all might just as well have used
palmer material. If the increase OF
tax bills is ever to stop, the people
must be satisfied with degree Of
simplicity that will seem bare and
plain to many.
Congress, just now is being lectur'

everyone knows well enough that at

previous Congress will be exceeded.

ATTEND THE
ROUNDUPS

Every farmer should make an eff.
fort to attend one of the Roundups,
and, IL possible, take his wife along
with him to attend the Housekeepers
conventions. The practical instruc.
tions, discussions, and demonstra.
lions, for the various kinds OF farm.
ing should interest every one sufiici.
emily to take few days vacation,
and attend one of these Roundups.
At Logan this year practical cours-
es will be given. The farmer who at
tends will have the opportunity Of
using twenty different laboratories.
This kind of work will be done in the
morning, while the afternoons and
evenings will be given over to lee
lures. W.
Judging from the interest that is
being shown, the Roundup at Logan
will be more largely attended than
ever before. Those in charge of it
are learning what the farmer needs,
and what interests him, and in turn
the farmer is learning that he can
go there and take part in the discus
sions and make the time spent very
profitable in meeting farmers and
learning Of their experiences. This
should be helpful to anyone.
The Roundup at Logan this year
commenced on Tuesday, January 25,
and will continue for two weeks.
This is an opportunity that every far
mer should take advantage of. 1t
will do you good to get away from
home for two weeks. and the asso.

ers from all parts of the state will
do you good. Try and arrange your
affairs so that you can come to Lo-
