Such people arc the hope of the situa- to be starved out.
 Third. by making 1t possible for peo- pie to purchase farms with small equity.
 Here Is an experience of this sea- son which has world of significance in it.. A Swedish woman and her fam- fly came to Hartford last spring from Brooklyn, N. Y., to look for @ farm. There were two powerful young men in the family thoroughly experienced in farming in the old country, the best sort of material for Hartford county farming. They had $1,5OO to invest They planned to save $500 for seed and equipment. and to live on until harvest time, and put 1000 into the farm. They found a farm which just suited them for 5000, but could not pur- ';hase 1t without $1,5OO down. But hey were able to buy s3,COO room- ng house with just $2OO equity.
 Baron Hirsch has done a monu- mental service to the Jewish people oy making it possible for some of hem to buy farms with only a few hundred dollars equity and gradually wipe out the indebtedness. Though he Jewish people prove themselves 'nexcelled In the marketing end of the natter they are not naturally suited the type of heavy farm work which most New England farms require. It las been one of my dreams to sec ome Swedish or Danish people colon zed in Hartford county under similar conditions
 Captain E. B. Soper of Emmetts- >urg Iowa, who was one of the strong nen of that state, used to tell how he bought his first farm with $10O which ,e had saved. He said he had an old white horse and $1OO. He said he ooked the man that loaned him the est of the money to buy the farm traight in the eye and said, II have rrned this s100 by hard work and I an pay you for this farm" And he i'd. That is the sort of thing that ught to be more and more possible ere in Connecticut.
 If agriculture becomes profitable 2ere in Connecticut it may be safe ', bring back to this state some of ,le millions and millions of Connect1- ut money which have been invested
 western farms. But that Is another .Cry'.

''Tipperary" Sung in Bagdad.


 Oh, they made their margic carpet,
 an they made 'ellish rust, An their slimy incantations an their
 crystal globes went bust. An they sang their blooming chan
 ties, an they banged their foolish
 bells.
 But we savvied we could get there spite O all their cranky 'ells! So we put up wi "Tipperary," and
 we pounded 'em like grain, An tn dust was like a blanket thought I'd never sec again: An I kinder did regret 1t, for I'd fixed my mind t see That land O silly 'arems and queer Kings, thet lived t spree! We'll when we got inside it, I'd "a never knowed it! Say Just low-down, Dirty 'amlet, where no Britisher'd stay! An I wonder, wi their magic, if they'd changed it-d'ye see? For I know this ain't the Bagdad where ol' Haroun use' t be! KENYON in Everybody's.

Ashes are the indigestible part of l coal When @ furnace has been fed for time 1t needs cleaning out. If l there Is a big bowel obstruction like l a clinker or mass of fused ash, a grate bar may need be cut out just as 8 man would have his appendix re- moved.
 Ashes are refuse, to be swept out, thrown overheard. Multiply the source and the supply is staggering. A. fleet of 40 battleships could burn 15O tons of coal a day apiece. Since coal ranges from to 15 per cent ash that fleet must disgorge vast mass of nearly 2,000,O00 pounds of useless and indestructible material or the equivalent in bulk of a fair-sized ves- sell

 moved from the hazards of war which
 would otherwise beset them. They are
 fortunate in the final instance from
 the mere fact that they are Germans
 interned on American soil, and not
 Americans interned on German soil.
 In the latter instance, there is no tell
 ing what would happen to them. In-
 stead of the stories of fabulous fats
 there would, in alr~ probability, be yarns to the effect that waist-lines were rapidly decreasing. There Is a
 man in America and the girth of a German in Germany.
 We shall await with interest ths outcome of the complaints the women of North Carolina are making ready to lodge with the federal food admin istration. There will be, naturally, an
 investigation. The publicists will let the people know just what Is going on at Hot Springs. This we already know: The Germans interned there are getting good and substantial food. That is the policy of this government as announced from the beginning. These men will be fed and taken care of in the same way the American gov ernment would have its own people }o1v @f So~4 der similar circumstances. It is mere ly a government interpretation of religious dogma-Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
 Few Americans will begrudge good foodstuffs to the Germans interned at Hot Springs. They deserve good treatment, since their lot is merely part of the fortunes of war. We could do no less than feed them properly. 1 and give them good shelter. If they l are to get more than the average American man of means is permitted to put on the family table, that is a different thing. With the scarcity of foodstuffs, this Is no time to waste. This Is no time to play favorites, es- pecially when informed Germans arc deriving the benefits. In the final an- alysis, however, it may be found that in North Carolina has over- stated the situation. Probably the rich f1avors that come from German cooking, when properly done by ac- German cooks, are respon- sible for the hysterical stories. And there are German chefs of no mean a bility interned at Hot Springs. The says: The prisoners are cared for by chefs who have seen service on ocean liners" That might oe the answer. A good chef can work wonders.

Fair Play! Everybody knows
that the railroads of this
country are suffering for lack
of capital To carry out much
needed plans for new equip
ment. additional terminals and
improvement generally. Few
realize that. il the railroads
could get the money they would
spend "A billion dollars year
for five successive years on
work that should be done. This
would mean aL enormous addi-
tion TO our industrial activities.
The subject is of personal in
terest TO every shOpkeeper and
the workmen in every factory.
But the credit of the railroads
has fallen away so greatly dur
ing the past few years that il is
difficult for them TO borrow
money. except at ruinous rates.
Yet the railroads are the great
arteries of business. In view
of the aid that the government
has been extending 10 various
industries during the stress of
war. Mr.. Nathan Amster, the
Boston tinancier, has suggested
that the government should
loan its credit at a low rate to
the railroads. Mr.. Frank Ii.
Fayant, an authority ON such
matters. i'm a letter to the New
York Tribune, asks why, if the
government is stimulating
wheat raising, il cannot stimu-
late railroad transportation. He
says the government has guar.
anteed the farmer minimum
price of two dollars a bushel for
wheat, compared with one dol
lar wheat before the war, and
an average price during the
twenty years preceding the |
war of only eighty-four cents a |
bushel. While the government
is thus increasing the price
above the twenty year average
by 26O per cent. present freight
rates are still below the twenty
year average. Wheat is being
carried now at less charge
than when il was selling at
seyenty-hve cents a bushel.
While the government has made
an advance of 260 per cent in
the price of wheat, il has
granted only "A 3 l-2 per cent ad-
vance in freight rates. And
what is this. :" Mr., Fayant
asks. compared with an

Federal Fuel administrator
Garfield is waging hard cam
paign to educate the public to
the necessity of saving fuel.
especially coal. lie says
Coal rs the foundation stone OF
industry. Without il the pro.
duction of equipment for war
must halt. Transportation fac
ilities must stand still. One
mans carelessness and wasteful
use may mean an idle factory
or a cold house for his neigh.
hor." This is good advice and
the public should heed il. But
the campaign of fuel saving
should be carried on in Wash
ington. ID. c.. as well, where
misguided politicians have
been passing theoristic legisla
tion for the past ten years.
Untold millions of horsepower
are now tied up in federal re
serves under the false name of
"conservation." for the benefit
of future generations. Just az
IL you could store water power.
If il is not used now il wastes
TO the sea and n new supply IL
being wasted every second.
True conservation is using what
we have TO the best advantage.
Preventing the use Of our water
powers that would furnish light.
heat. power fertilizer. muni-
tions of war and innumerable
other things. is the rankest
kind of waste. The time is
here TO change these laws which
tie up our natural resources.
Practically every railroad in
the west could be operated
by electricity il laws were
passed permitting development.
Instead we burn up our coal and
oil and throw away our water
powers. the only thing which
use does not hurt.
