The quantity Of wine produced in.
h western provinces of France this
year will be exceedingly small, so Of
ftcial reports state. The vintage is
declared to have been only one-tenth
Of what was expected. No season since
1854 has been as poo as this one in
the quantity OF wine produced, al
though the quality is probably good.
The failure has been caused principally
by mildew. which attacked the vines
at blossomtng time, as a result of ex-
cessiVe rains and fog. 1t is currently
said, indeed, that the vines have suf-
1ered 80 much from mildew that the
vintage for 1915 will be affected.

Comment on Sunday Baseball situa-
ton.
The calendar of the Congregational
church for Sunday contained the fol-
lowing comment:
If the articles in the last issue of the
local papers correctly represent the
sentiment of the community a very
wrong and unjustifible Interpretation
has been given to the protest that was
made against professional Sunday
baseball in Putnam. The protest was
not against Sunday baseball as such
but against baseball on that day
which has for its object the making Of
money, and while the people may not
discriminate between baseball and pro-
fessiOnaE baseball on Sunday tho
law makers at Hartford did see u
difference and did frame and pass a
law that allowed the one and denied
the legal privilege of playing the
other. There may be people who
would not countenance Sunday golf
or Sunday amateur baseball or Sun
day acknowledging but so long as the
law cOuntenanCeS such things these
people must not allow their opinions
to interfere with those who see 10
harm in such things. If it is true that
the president of the baseball club is
correct in his statement that no mem
Der of the golf club would sign q
protest against professional Sunday
baseball and that every business man
has refused to sign the petition and
that the majority of the citizens are
in favor of letting us alone" then
it is high time for a recival of those
days when according to the Scriptures
