SHIFTING Cargo
MAKES VOYAGE
EXCITING

Shifted cargo, heavy seas, slight
leak developing when stronghold on
the loading port was sprung, and a
few other little incidents OF the kind
. made life far from monotonous, at
least, on the voyage of the Matson
schooner Annie Johnson. She arrived
OFT port last night, docking this morn
ing at Pier Is.
New Engines Efficient.
In spite of all this, the new $50
horsepower Bolinder engines of the
schooner brought her here from San
Francisco in IL and half days. Off
GERS Of the vessel declared that with
sail only the voyage could not have
been made in less than 20 days as
Gains succeeded very rough weather
with stiff northwest trades the first
four days out.
This is the first voyage of the
Annie Johnson as a power schooner,
and according to Chief Engineer C.
w. Davies the engines were only
stopped twice, one of them for half
an hour and the other for 10 minutes.
The engine room IS hot place. When
the schooner locked the temperature
there was 1876. After she had been
locked an hour and half ii was 104.
According to officers Of the schoon.
er the first four days of the voyage
were very rough. Very high north
west trades blew steadily.l The hold
cargo began to shift to port. When
the schooner left San Francisco she
had slight list to starboard.
Ship Listed rs Degrees.
Capt. Thomas Murray threw the
Annie Johnson back on the other
course, so that she was headed to-
ward San Francisco. After she had
been sailing this way for few hours
with shortened sail. the cargo was
brought back almost to normal. When
the schooner listed to port worst, she
had list Of almost As degrees, throw
ing her on her beam ends for time.
Slight Leak Develops.
The next mishap was when a strong
back on the loading port was sprung.
A little leak developed, making it
necessary for the crew to move part
of the cargo TO get at the trouble
The ships carpenter was let down
over the side, and with cement and
red lead patched up the sprung place
so the leak was stopped.
Cargo Very Heavy.
The Annie Johnson's cargo weighs
close to 2000 tons, and is mainly gaso-
line. Her deck load did not shift 1t
consisted mostly of drums of gasoline
and distillate, cases of kerosene, and
oils, piled in every available foot of
space. She had every pound she
could carry. and was low in the wa
ter when she locked today.

New York got up the next morning,
and, while shaving, thought of several
more suggestions to make to the pres
ident-elect. New York must have the
secretaryship of the treasury, OF
course. 1t must convey the intima-
ton strongly to Mr.. Hughes that the
proffer of it elsewhere would be
decidedly unfriendly act to the state
that had elected him. Also, it was en-
titled to the secretaryship of state,
both by reason of its As electoral votes
and because the only man in the Unit
ed States with sufficient ability for
the job was, as everybody knows, a
New Yorker
New York busted its chin, tied it's
necktie, smiled at itself in the glass
and went downtown to see what suck
ers had come in from the West with
a roll of money overnight. And down.
town it heard the astounding news.
A state called Kansas situated some
where between Lake Erie and the
Pacific Ocean, had been carried by
Wilson. Another unknown common
wealth called Minnehaha supposed
to have been a province of Canada,
but now ascertained to have IL votes
in the electoral college, was very close
and might also go to Wilson. Cali
fornia, too, a roof garden built by
New York at vast expense to play gole
in the winter, was doing its ungrate-
full best to nulify the election-dotng
it even after New York had flashed
the news out there that New York
had decided it.
New York could hardly believe it.
But now that New York has had it's
eyes opened to the advantages of ed
ucation, its. thirst for knowledge may
lead it to take down the geography
and history from the shelf and really
apply itself. It will be surprised to
learn the extent Of the country out
side of it's own borders, and that
there are states SO far west of Buff,
falo that their people can walk about
in the safe and bright sunlight hours
after New York's gunner have begun
to shoot up the all-night cafes.

Interesting Scenes of
Peasant Life in Galicia

Washington, D. c., Nov 24.-The
Hungary intends to grant to Galicia
the right to manage it's affairs indie
pendently, at the same time that Po-
land is reconstructed an independent
KINGDOM, gives timeliness and special
interest to the following war geogra-
ply bulletin issued by the National
Geographic society, in which peasant
life in Galicia is strikingly described.
The bulletin, which is based on a
communication to the society from
William Joseph Showater, says:
In many parts Of Galicia the Po-
1ish peasant lives in a log hut COW
cred with straw; he breakfasts, dimes
and makes his supper of porridge,
washing it down with bad brandy:
and in general leads a life full of want
and empty of pleasure. The peasants
who farms for the mobiles receive no
money in payment, but only a share
of the crop.
"The usual division, all over Eu-
rope, ranges between a half and u
fourth, and even in Russian Poland it
never goes below the latter proper
ton. The mobiles estates are either
controlled by them through full-value
mortgages, and they have combined to
force down the peasant-farmers' share
with the result that it now is fire.
quently as low as one-twelfth, a wage
of slow starvation which is largely
responsible for a disease known as
PLEA Polonica' contracted as the re-
suit of insufficient nourishment.
THE lot Of the Polish peasant is Al
ways hard, whether he lives in Russia,
Germany, or Austria. His food is
simple, if not poor. His whole fam
ilv must toll from the hour that the
sun peeps over the eastern horizon
to the hour when twilight falls into
dusk. If he can say that his wife
works like a horse, he has bestowed
the acme of praise upon her. HARD
work, many cares, and much child
bearing combine to take all pride out
Of the wife's heart and give to the
women of peasant Poland a haggard
look even before the third decade of
their lives is closed.
"You may even see them working
as section hands on many Of the rail
roads, and they. are reputed to make
good ones 1t is not exceptional to

NEW BRITAIN'S INDUSTRIES SAFE

Stories to the effect that one or
more of the belligerent nations of
Europe sent special commission
ers to this country in an effort to can
eel contracts for small arms and am
munition held by companies in
Connecticut, Pennsylvania and New
York, caused more than a ripple of
excitement in financial circles yester-
day. Any rumor of this kind will
naturally be received with some de-
gree of excitement by those who have
been, and are, specializing in the So
called war brides. ALI such stories
point to the end of the honeymoon.
However such rumors may effect
the people in other cities in Connecti
cut, those who live and work in New
Britain have no fear The industries
here are not thriving on the munition
business to any great extent. In fact,
the important manufacturing con-
Germs here have builded their business
on more substantial basis. When
the great war broke out in Europe
there were those who felt aggrieved
at the heads of many concerns in
this city because the factories did not
install special machinery for grinding
|out small arms and ammunition.
When such stories as that of yester-
|day come to the fore, as they Will
do from now until peace is declared
abroad, the men who manage the af-
fairs of big concerns here realize
their complete vindication, know they
acted wisely and we'll in refraining
From temptation.
New Britain's industries are safe.
lWhen the last shot is fired on Euro
bean BATTLEFIELD, when the war brides
Esettle down to a more peaceful exist
knce, when the shipments of NUM-
HONS must cease, there will be no dis
order or upheaval in this city. There |
Ewill then be no cutting down Of |
forces as will obtain in other
Industrial centers. The work here |
will go steadily on because the manu- |
factories put out things that are es- !
genital in time of peace as we'll as in |
I fines of war. The percentage of war
&nunitions made in New Britain is
8nappreciable, for which there should |

NO FEAR FOR NEW CONGRESS

HOW THE PUBLIC PAYS.

Some wonder is being expressed at
the high cost of living and the causes
which have brought about the present
condition. Investigators have spent
time and energy in a search for the
real reason. 1t has been blamed di-
paying war prices for our foodstuffs
and other necessaries of life Explain
atoms are offered by the wholesale,
yet in the main they are explanations
that do not explain.
Yesterday there was unearthed in
Chicago a broker who shed more
light on the high cost of living, and
the reason the cost is high, than any
one of a hundred explanations set
loose in the past six months. This
man has in storage the sum total Of
100000 dozen eggs, which means, Of
course, 100000 individual eggs. He
refuses to let them out and on their
| way to satisfy the hungry until the
price of eggs advances to a point
| where he will make a great profit. All
these eggs were bought by him at a
time when the price was low. In his
| own words:-"I am going to sit tight
and watch the price climb up, and
| the public can pay What are you
going to do about 20
| And the public can pay. The pub
| lie must pay. 1t has no choice in the
matter. There is no law restraining
| this man from holding all the eggs he
can gather in storage. The Federal
government can find no way to pre-
vent him from so doing because he
does not violate interstate commerce
| laws, inasmuch as when he sells he
| can and will sell to local dealers in
| Chicago They in turn will ship the
| eggs throughout the country, and the
public will pay,-in more ways than
one.

Value of Punctuality
pittsburgh Dispatch)

Business and industry in this coun-
try have been reduced to a system
that compels the admiration of the
world, yet 1t Is doubtful if the great
masses of the people have learned in
a practical way the value that should
be placed on punctuality. True, en-
ployers insist that their employees be
on time at their work but many Of
these same employers will fail by half
an hour to keep an appointment, and
undertake to offer excuses for their
failure. A note at the bank compels
promptness because of the conse-
quences that may follow neglect to
give it attention, but the loss to 9TH
crs by lack Of punctnaAty may be of
serious character. The failure Of so
many people in being prompt in all
their relations to others probably lies
in the fact that they magnify the
lack Of punctuality in others, and
minimize it in themselves thereby
making way for a laxness that be-
comes harmful habit to all whom
V effects.

! pour water over one another in 6
spirit of fun.
Poland was a republic Of land
owners, in which the serf did not
! count. The man who owned land, or
whose ancestors owned land, was a
noble. He might match poverty for
poorness, he might not have a single
sole between his feet, and the ground,
he might have only a rusty old sword
to tie to his girdle, and only piebal
blind horse to drive, and that q hired
one, but he still was a noble if own
ership of land had ever set it's ap-
proving stamp upon him or his fam
lily.
with him the peasants were as
but worms Of the dust. The Russian
noble is proud of his peasants, the
German noble was proud Of his, and
the Austrian noble had nought but
words Of praise for his; but the Polish
noble was not proud Of his.
Nothing illustrates better how the
Polish peasant felt toward the Polish
noble than the instruction Of the
Poles of Austria in 1916. That was
a movement of the mobiles. The gov
eminent did nothing to check the
outburst, and it is said that the 10y
atty OF Cno peasants W IIlc 6oN0hAl-
ment, and their hatred of their arls-
tocratic brethren caused the uprising
to die aborning.
"Whatever may be said about the
relations between the Polish arlsto-
crat and the Polish peasant, however
the hospitality of the former mas al
ways been whole-hearted ana SIN
cere Tactfulness is as natural WITH
the mobiles as taking to the water is
natural with a duck. They IKE con1
pany and love entertainment, and are
as fond of dancing as any other peo-
pie in the world. 1t takes vigorous
men to stand all the liquor that Is
provided by the Polish host.
"Polish women are among the most
beautiful in the world. The perfect
shape of their hands and feet is COM
menteo upon by every visitor to the
home of the Polish aristocracy. When
they visit The shoe stores of Vienna,
it is averred that the shopkeerer ex-
claims: We know those are Polish
feet, and proceeds to go to cases that
are not drawn on except when wo-
men of this nationality come into his
place of business"

How to Make and Preserve Cider.

There is an article in the November
Farm and Fireside in which a writer
says:
''In addition to the jams. jellies
etc, that are made up of overripe
apples, a superior grade of cider can
be made and put up and kept sweet
for an indefinite period. Of course.
the unfermented apple juice is that in
which no changes caused by the yeast
plant have taken place. On all fruits
the yeast plant is found very generally
distributed and belongs to the same
low order of plants as the yeast used
in bread-making. 1t grows quickly in
fruit juices, changing the juice into
alcohol In other words, fern enta-
ton begins. One of the most i'm
portant features then in making
sweet cider is to kill these organisms
so as to prevent fern entation.
"This can be done in two ways:
first, by the use Of chemicals; and,
second. by the application of sufficient
heat to destroy the organisms. The
first-named method cannot be recon-
mended for then the liquid is adul-
terated, is inferior in quality and I'M
fit for human consumption. The lat
ter named method is the one to fol-
low" 49, -
