EAST, BUT SOUNDS WEST
The poor old west is growing sadly
effete. It is fast being robbed of its
birthright; it's proper place in SAT-

SPUNKlNG UP TO A KING.-We
would like to shake hands with Mr..
VenizeIos of Greece for the lovely
way in which he handed the idea of
divine rights a full black eye.
81" said King Constantine, leave
the internal affairs of Greece to the
government, but in international re-
latiOns 1 consider myself, myself
alone, responsible before God for
their direction"
i;Your father replied Citizen We
nizelos, was elected king by the
Greek people. You are his success
sor. There is no divine right in that
title"
1t isn't often that the world is
treated to the spectacle of one of the
masses taking a king by the whiskers
and slapping the divine rights obses-
sion out OF, him. We bespeak for Mr..
Venizelos opportunity to beat his
propaganda into other quarters in
Europe.

SUPREME coUR

SUPREME COURT IN POLITICS.
BY electing to defend his decision
in the DanbuTy matters case upon the
platform, Mr.. Hughes has drawn the
supreme court sqUarely into politics,
which is the inevitable and distress
ing sequel to his acceptance Of the
Republican nomination. The aver
age American citizen has ever held
the supreme court in highest regard;
a regard akin to reverence. These
will be vaguely disturbed; their faith
insidiously shaken. By reverse rea-
soning they will argue that if past
decisions Of the august tribunal may
properly be used as campaign ma
terial, future decisions may be rem
dered with the same object in view.
The supreme court must neces-
sarily be smutted by it's contact with
political pitch to greater or lesser
extent.
And the aspirations and ambitions
of no one man are of sufficient i'm
portance to warrant such an I'M
happy cOntTetemps.

STECHER WINS MATCH

Joe Stecher of Omaha won his
wrestling match Monday at Atlantic
with Harold Christensen, introduced
as the Danish Champion. The for
mer weighed 2O5 pounds and the lat
ter 1872. About 500 people saw the
match, which was won by Stecher in
straight falls, the first in ten minutes
and the second in seven. The follow
| ing is taken from the Atlantic News
| Telegraph and tells of the match:
Announcer Will Spence of Anita
introduced the main bout at $3.50. An
tone Stecher, brother and trainer of
the champion, was first introduced.
Weigand of Anita was in the corner
for Christensen and Antoine for his
brother. Howard Marshall of this city
refereed the match. Those who were
expecting to see some speedy work
from the champion were disappointed
for he did not have to exert himself
at any stage of the game. Harold
Christensen, Danish champion. at 1872
pounds, was no match for Joe Stech-
err, American champion and champ
ion of the world, at 205 pounds.
The two went to the mat at twenty
minutes to 10 and played with each
other for several minutes. Finally
Stecher broke the spell in dive for
the Danes legs and got a body scis-
sors. Christensen broke loose and
got on top for the first time after s
minutes of slow work. Stecher slowly
worked around to his celebrated body
scissors and half nelson and put the
Danish champions shoulders to the
mat in 10 minutes and 3S seconds.
The second fall was easier for Stecher
going in 7 minutes and seconds with
the same hold.
All present were satisfied with the
exhibition, and the match was a sue
cess in a financial way, for all con-
cerned. Earl Caddock, the promoter,
deserves credit for making the match
a success"

MORAL EFFECT OF 15 INCHERS
 FAR REACHING
German Long Range Guns Do Little Damage But
 Teach Smart Lesson.

London, Feb. 3.-Bombardment by German long, range 15-inch guns has a greater moral than material effect on the towns bombarded, writes cor respondent from France. This is due to the great amount of waste space in towns, for a shell has just as much of a chance of hitting a vacant lot as a building. The Germans, themselves, in the opinion of the writer, know how little material damage their shells do, for after smelling these towns, they generally follow up with an air raid. But they know it's moral re- suits.
 In the extreme range firing, the. Ger mans fire only when the wind. is fa- vorable to them The noise of the great shell is distinctly trying on the nerves of the people. As open towns lie a good distance back of the French lines, the Germans get their naval guns well forward, with the result that they are usually sought out by the French guns.
 The main drawback of these bonn bardments of open towns is, from the German point of view, their expense. These great shells run in price up to several thousand dollars each.
 One lesson of the war is that it costs more to destroy a a@village than to build it. At one point the Germans battered a, viaduct >to pieces with IT, inch and 9-inch hoWitzers. This cost them nearly sixty giant shells and countless 9-inch shells, to say nothing of a rain from field guns The via duct cost $7O,O00 to build. French officers estimated the price of it's de- struction at over $40O,O0O.

PEOPLE WILL CARE FOR SERBIAN WAR ORPHANS
American Woman In Charge of Funds Raised In Athens
 For War Sufferers

who are under the watchful eyes of the American doctors, and nurses who remained in Nish when the Serbs themselves were forced to flee thhe victorious Bulgars.
 A great many Serbian babies, how ever, were brought out of the coun- try by their mothers or relatives, and not a few have been born since the exodus. For these Queen Sophie of Greece has made provision by setting aside a ward in her Babies's Hospital in Athens for the exclusive care of Serbian babies. The ward will ac- commodate a hundred babies and it is, in charge of competent Dutch woman.
 The children, and adults as well, who arrive in Athens temporarily des- tituteV until they can secure funds or work or get in touch with relatives or friends. are also provided for. The former municipal hospital or Athens has been turned into an emergency lodging house for refugees from Ser bia of this class, and Madame Grou- itc7- ~>os given five. thousand francs to a fund for the feeding and immeoiate succor of these unfortu- mates.
 Generally speaking, the Athenians are moved to do what they can to help the Serbian refugees. One res taurant keeper, for example, gives all Serbs a. twenty per cent. discount on their meals. There may be a cer- tain element of guilty conscience in the readiness of the Athenians to help the Serbs. One day in an Athen- ian drawing room a, Greek of prom thence, belonging to the Kings party, was conmensurating Serbian. lady on the fate which has befallen her country.
 'eWhat a pity,'' he said, "that9 the French did not send more troops to the rescue of Serbia! They might have saved the country from ruin!'
 'sAh!, yes, it was a pity,'' replied the Serbian lady. But after all one can not really blame them. You see, they were depending on the Greeks to keep their pledged word to Serbia!'

GILBERT FARM A
 PREPARATORY SCHOOL
State to Use Georgetown Prop erty as Preliminary Train
 ing School

RidgefieId, Feb. 4.-The board of trustees of the Connecticut Agricul- tural college, at a meeting in the e2- ecutive office at the capital in Hart ford last week, voted to make use of the farm in Georgetown, which was 'bequeathed toi the state a number of years ago by the late Edwin Gilbert of Georgetown, by establishing there an agricultural school one of the func tions of which will be to prepare stu dents for the agricultural college at Storrs. Full details of the plan have not yet been arranged, but it was 7e- cided that the new school should place emphasis upon actual farm work as distinct from agricultural ed ucation.
 The board has learned, according to members. that many students who en- ter the college, especially the new group of young men from the cities who have become imbued with the 'tback-to-the-farn' idea, are serious 1y handicapped by unfamiliarity with the everyday knowledge that every farmer boy has, They are unable, some of them, to distinguish between simple farming implements, plants and animals that the country raised youth has known since childhood and are unable to do the simple manual labor that is necessary in the expert mental side of their studies. These students fail to keep pace with the others until they have been put through a, long period of instruction in such things as the proper use of a hoe or the difference between a. chick en and a guinea hen.
 One of the uses to which the new school will be put will be to train city youths in actual farm work and the college may latter decide. as it has already contemplated doing, to re- quire all students who have not had experience in farm work to take a, preparatory course at this school be- fore they can enter the college, no mater how good their reputation may have beHn in botany, zoology, or kin dred subjects.
 Together with this, the farm school will give farm boys an opportunity to take shorter and simpler courses than are offered at the college and will, it is expected, act as a feeder to the more advanced Institution.
 The development of these plans has been entrusted by the board to a com mittee consisting of Theodore Lyman of MiddIefield, B. Kent Hubbard of Middletown. and President Charles L. Beach of the college.
 The farm, which is a large one con sisting of sixty acres of cleared land and about as much more uncleared, was left to the state for the purpose of providing a place for agricultural instruction, especially along the line of cattle breeding. A trust fund for it's maintenance was also left the state by MT. Gilbert. There are a number of barns and other buildings on the farm. The property has been main tained in past years as a model farm, but this plan has been abandoned and the trust fund has been allowed to accumulate, so that it is thought large enough for the inauguration of the new plan.

r Athens, Feb. 4-Whatever the out come of the war with respect to Serbia as nation, the future generation of Serbians is assured. Not only have numbers of individuals interested themselves in the fate of the children of the war devastated land, but the government of the French Republic has constituted itself the guardian of every Serbian child in need, and of fered to provide for the bringing up and education until the age of fifteen of every offspring of the race that has so valfantly defended its national heritage to the bitter end. Already several hundreds of orphan Serbian children have been sent from Salon iki to France where they have been placed in French families that have volunteered to look after them.
 Meanwhile. Madame Grouitch, the American wife of the Serbian Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, has es- tabished 3. fund in the hands of Con stantine Mela, of Athens, by which a franc a day is paid for the support of the needy children of Serbian of ficers and functionaries of the Serb ian government.
 Very often, she said, ''the families and especially the orphan children of those of tthe poor. Those who have never had much soon adjust them selves even to hardships that have accompanied this war. It is those who have had everything and lost it all that are to be pitied.'' Mrs. Grou- itch should know whereof she speaks, for when she and her husband left Serbia they were forced to make their way through Albania afoot, and they arrived in Athens only with what they stood in.
 In addition to these provisions for the larger children, the babies too are being cared for, in preparation for the new generation of Serbs upon whom will fall the making of their land. In Nish the Mabel Gro1itch Baby Hos pital, though in the hands of the in vaders, still shelters it's tiny charges,

Cotton Short in Austria.

Vienna, Feb. sowing to govern mental restrictions in the nanufac- ture of cotton goods, a large num- Der of factories in Austria- Hungary have closed down. Only those estab- lishments continue running which are making materials for the army, and owing to the shortage of raw cotton even their output is limited. Hitherto the manufacturers have been assisting the unemployed but the general situ- ation has now become so serious that the governments in Vienna and Buda- pest have been forced to come to the rescue of the workers. Both have agreed to grant subventions, under the supervision of a joint commission composed of representatives of the manufacturers and workers, and off cia1s from the ministries of the In terior. Finance and Commerce.

BOTH LIVES AND DOLLARS
 ARE SAVED

Tn the Bureau of Mines aside from the discoveries which assure larger yields of gasoline from crude petro- Ieufns and have assisted in the devel- opment of dye stuffs industry in the U. S.. radium has been produced in com mercia1 quantities at a cost one-third of that by the old methods Other phases of the work of the Bureau of Mines having cash value are these:
 The high death rate from tubercu1o- sis among the miners of the Joplin, Mo-, zinc district was shown to be re- lated to rock dust in the air of the mines, with the result that energetic measures to improve the conditions are being taken.
 Decided progress has been made in the investigation of methods of pre- venting damage to vegetation from smelter smoke.
 Continued fnvesti gation of the smell ter-smoke problem has shown how metallurgica1 smoke may be remoy- ed without excessive expense and is aiding the development of practicable meth ods of removal.
 Oxygen breathing apparatus for the use of rescue parties has been great -ly improved, and a new type devised that is safer and more efficient than types in use.
 Different types of safety and rescue apparatus are demonstrated each year before thousands of miners
 Electric lamps for miners have been greatly improved through the bureaus s recommendations
 Metheds of drilling oil and gas wells se IS to prevent present wastes have been demonstrated in Oklahoma and other States and as a result of the bureaus efforts great waste of natural gas has been stopped.
 By the Indian Bureau, the Indians are being taught to farm their own lands and raise their own stock. Mon ey is being loaned by the Govern Inenta for the purchase of farming implements, seed, and more than $3,- 0Oso0O has been spent in buying high grade stallions, bulls, mares and sheep. All this tends to the development Of the Indian reservations as producing areas and to swell the wealth of the country.
 Irrigated farming is being taught to the Indians in sections where irri- gatfon works have been constructed on Indian land. A new type of Egyp- tian long staple. cotton has been de- ~eloped by the Indian office and is be- ing grown by the Indians of Arizona
