PARENTS AND CLUB WORK.
Parental Aid and Encouragement Essen
tial to Success of Club Members.

An illustration of the great Importance
of the attitude OF parents toward the
work OF members of the boys agricul-
tural clubs which have been organized
throughout the country by the depart
ment is found by specialists in cooper
ative demonstration work in two cases
reported from the same state. The Incl
dents are accepted as showing the value
of parental sympathy and consideration
particularly in the solution OF the prob
lem of keeping the members of the
younger generation on the farm.
In one case it was found that the boy
of the family was helped and encour-
aged from the time he first joined
corn club His father permitted the
use of one of the best acres on the farm,
gave him barnyard manure, and allowed
the use of the necessary horses and ma
chinery. The young club member pro-
duced more than 100 bushels of corn on
his single acre the first year and has
been consistently successful since. lie
has even established a reputation as a
breeder of fine seed corn. During the
four years of his membership in the corn,
pig and other clubs, he has wone more
than $500 in prizes, and with his profits,
has acquired ownership of seven head
of welllbred cattle and a horse. The
home is said to be ideal, the father and
son being reported as "chummy as
school boys The boy has no thought
Of taking up life in the city, but is plan
ming constructive future on the farm.
In the second case the results have
been wholly different The young son OF
this family joined a Kstr club, but when
the crop was gathered the grain was
placed in a general farm bin and he re-
,eived no value from it. The following |
year he joined a pig club; and when his
father called attention to the lack OF |
iced, he hired himself to a neighboring !
farmer to secure funds. The money which
le earned was, however pocketed by the
ather Wholly discouraged, the young
nan shortly afterwards ran away from
iome and is now working in a city of a
state.

Good Times. but Dear.

When are good times goodf The rise
of wages, and even the increase of en-
ployment, do not necessarily make them
so if living expenses travel the upward
route along with the pay check. The
goodness OF good times can be measured
by the margin between aggregate in
comes and living expenses. The greater
the margin the better the times.
One of the indications showing the
swelling or shrinkage of this margin
in the state of New York is the yearly
balance of the savings bank depositors.
On July /, 1915, 81 1883 $4,000 stood to
those depositors' credit, and the figures
revealed an increase of S9l ,7lT,oo0 over
the depositors' credit balance of year
before. IA there are some 1895 900 saw
ings bank accounts each bank book has
gained to the extent of $3.50 or there
about. The fraction OF the people which
saves through these banks has been in
creased, as is shown by some 10000
more deposits now as against year ear
lier.
Even so, with the average deposit

feet on the newspapers OF the country
because it might hold up the shipment Of
news print paper. The larger newspa-
pers are receiving shipments Of paper
almost constantly and it is necessary to
keep the stream going in order to meet
the subscription list needs, while the
smaller papers, printing fewer copies, are
able to lay by a store for month or
more. BY the end OF two months practi-
cally every newspaper in the country
would be hard up for news print ex,
cepting, of course, those papers located
in cities near the paper mills from which
shipment could be made by motor truck.
So the newspapers are not looking for

transportation business with any equani-

HORROR OF WAR DEPICTED.

If there is any need to impress upon
the world, and particularly the American
people that war is one OF the most hide
Gus agencies at work in the world it is
only necessary to turn the pages Of one
of the illustrated weekly newspaper
Leslie's Weekly, to be explicit-until one
comes to page on which is depicted
huge open grave, probably once a trench,
in which are piled in grewsome disarray
the whitening bones Of scores of human
beings. 1t is a picture startling in its
glaring details and hideous with its
imagined stories of the way those human
beings lost their lives. Most OF the
bodies have been reduced to skeletons
and the unclothed bones stand forth as a
horrible warning against mans destruc-
tion of man. They are skulls in all de-
grees of completeness some apparently

THE TREND TOWARD GATES.


The trend of Republican sentiment
seems to be turning toward Gov. Gates
candidate for United States senator from
Vermont at the present time. The trend
Is due to the fact that the voters feel
they can place confidence in the man who
is the present executive head Of the com
monwealth and who, shortly is to 90 out
of that office after a successful term of
two years. There is definite feeling
among all the people Of the state that
Gov. Gates has remained true to the best
ideals of the Office of governor; that he
has conducted his duties conscientiously
and intelligently; that he has not been
swerved by minor considerations and
that he is a man of the old Vermont
type, truly representative of the people.
Those who so believe will not all support
Gov. Gates for senator because some Of
them are not members of his party and
because some of them are welded to the
support of one of the other two Republi-
can candidates; but the vast majority of
independent, open,minded voters OF Yer
mont recognize in Gov Gates an excellent
man and an officeholder of considerable
potentially and, accordingly, will accord
him their support at the forthcoming
primary. 1t remains to be seen how
much of the electorate of Vermont was
bottled upon before Gov. Gates made his
entry into the contest.

DURAZZO AND AVLONA
 IMPORTANT PORTS

Sofia, Bulgaria. May 23.-The occu- patton by the Austro- -Hungarians of Durazzo and their efforts to gain pos session of Avlona, has called attention to the commercial importance of these two Albanian ports. Both have in re- cent years enjoyed prosperity, despite the fact that the political and eco homie conditions in Albania were not the best. Exports and imports of Durazzo had in 1913 a value of 9,~i00,- 900 francs, but fell in 1914, owing to the war, to 7,1OO,OOO francs The total port traffic of Avlona in 1913 was 6,400,000 francs. In 1914 this fell to 4,900,000 francs.
 Durazzo imports iron, steel, coal, textiles, machinery, arms and ammu- milton, rice, wine and tropical fruits, the factory products coming almost entirely from Austria, while the last three items constitute the bulk of the Italian trade. Exported are lumber, leguminous cereals, eggs, skins and olive oil, reaching in 1913 a total value of 2,200,000 francs, of which II ] per cent went to Austria and 23 per cent to Italy, the remainder going elsewhere.
 Avlona's trade is of about the same character, though in this case the Italian and Austrian interests are on nearly the same footing.
 Albania has virtually no industries ] In the two years preceding the Out break of the war the attempt was made to develop the country in this respect. Several small factories were established, but were closed when the war started. Near Durazzo several brick yards are still in operation, as are also few small lumber mills Avlona has some oil presses, and an asphalt mine near Selenitza, whose product was formerly shipped tc Trieste, Hamburg and Rotterdam.
 If the Austro-Hungarians capture Avlona and Durazzo the latter may within a few years, have railroad com munication with the interior of AL bania and points beyond. Several lines have been decided upon tenta- lively. One of them runs from Sid through Herzegovina and Bosnia to Alessio, costing not less than 200,O00,- 1 900 Austrian crowns. A projected Alessio- o-Durazzo-Avlona line woulC cost 37000,000 crowns.
 These roads would open Albania and Montenegro and make Avlona and Durazzo ports of great importance.
