Vessels of types that took two years
to build before the war are now be-

The only obstacle to still further
reducing the construction period is
the shortage of engines. Preparations
are being made on a large scale.

done it is probable destroyers will
be turned out in eight months. The
department has canvassed the coun-

of building these vessels or even
parts of them. AS a result many
firms that heretofore never went in
for fighting ships are now building
destroyers.

ton. no tobacco to speak of, but prin- cipally grains. Iowa is not large state compared with some, but is more generally cultivated than any other. A curious fact that her farms con- stantly decrease in number, although the acreage under the plough in creases. Farmers are making so much money that they try to buy up all adjoining land.
 Illinois is third. and well below Iowa in output; Nebraska comes next, then Georgia, with her great cotton output, while Kansas is sixth, and just above Pennsylvania. We think most persons will be surprised to know that Nebraska produces more than Kansas, while Oklahoma, which has grown so rapidly in the last few years, Is only eighteenth in rank.
 It Is an interesting fact that east of the Rocky Mountains agriculture is fairly we'll distributed, taking into consideration the varying areas of the states. California shows up we'll be- cause of her immense fruit and grain crops. New England appears to be tagging, but all New England is less in area than 8 great many individual states, and this 'sterile soil' produced about as much as Missouri, which has larger, area than combined New England. Massachusetts produces more value per acre than any other commonwealth.

(After the Fashion of Kip11ng.) 1 If you can win a husband without trying And make him think that he's the prize,-not you; If you can trust him, when you know
 he's lying, And never even lot him know you
 knew; If you can wait, and wait, and keep
 on waiting, And greet him when he comes with
 smiling eyes. And listen to the old equivocat-
 ing,
 And never say too much nor look
 too wise: If you can love him, minus shave or
 collar, If you can cook. when cookings
 not your aim; If you can count on every single
 dollar,
 And go on being thankful just the
 same; If you can hear the honest words
 you've spoken Twisted to make them sound ab-
 surd, And see your dearest hopes and idols
 broken,
 And never, never say single word: If you can make one heap of your
 illusions
 And risk them on one man, to stand
 or fall, And finding all your fair dreams dis
 illusions,
  Can still declare that he was worth
 it all If you can force your heart, and
 nerves, and sinew, To keep a smiling face until the
 end, And never show what thoughts are
 settling in you, And seem to feel the joy that you
 pretend: If you can have your say and then keep quiet.

He Has Not Died in Vain.
(Columbia, s. c. State.)

(COlum Dla, 5. C. State.)
 Some day the history of Fairfield county will written and when it is written, the story Of Adam Hood, sheriff, who defended his prisoner with his life, who, wounded to death, carried in his arms the mor- tally stricken negro charged with a heinous crime and laid him before the bar of justice. will be told in it and the school children of Fairfield will be taught to honor the name of this of ficer as symbolizing the unf1inching courage of the Anglo-Saxon race and the unfaltering loyalty to laws that the people make that has made 1t a free race among the peoples of the earth. That the prisoner was a vile and miserable wretch accused of the most hated of crimes will the more be pointed to as Illustrating the heroism of the sheriff who died in defence of the trust placed in him by his people and the duty to them which he had undertaken to do.
 To say this calls for no voice of prophecy, 1t is but to reason from these simple truths that are everlast- ing and that shall not perish unless faithfulness and honor, peace and law, and all those things which to- gether we call civilization shall perish too.
 We set 1t down that no public off, cer who dies In the performance of duty dies in vain.

Sheep vs. Dogs. (HartfOrd PoSt.)
moon.

The sheep problem of Connecticut is the dog problem. Connecticut can not hermit mongrel dogs to run at large and still have a sheep crop worthy the name. And woolen mill owners and agricultural experts of all kinds, including the state board of agriculture, are urging the need of more sheep in our hillside pastures. And so Connecticut must take her choice between dogs and sheep.
 Sheen breeders of the state will rec ommend the passage of a law which 1ri11 increase the license fee for dogs end which will impose greater restric- lions with regard to confining them and also increase the compensation of the farmer whose sheep are destroyed hx dogs All this is well for Connec- ticut needs sheep. Even though the increased compensation for farmers whose sheep are destroyed might in crease the expense of the state 1t is advisa ble for the reason that the far ner must be made to feel that his eff fort will not be entirely wasted if dogs get among his sheep and destroy them
 There is 8 great market for wool, as we annually use in this country scores of millions of pounds more wool than is produced here. There is also a mar ket for native lambs and the farmer who raises sheep provides large part of his own meat supply.
 There Is no danger that Connecticut ever will have too many sheep. For wears she has had too few.

The Invisible Fleet. (Arfhibald Hurd in the Fortnightly
 Reyfew)


 The British people have not seen the British Grand Fleet or any other of the naval services since the ships, great and small, steamed out of Spit head at the end, of July, 1914, passing off the Nab Lightship the Royal Yacht, from which the King inspect ed the countrys first line of defence. That phrase-the first line of defence has gained a new meaning in the months which have followed. With out a fear of the consequences, the people of the British Isles learned of the transportation overseas of reserves and of the terr1torials. Those soldiers, regular and citizen, have been followed by the new armies, and yet the British people have remained undism ayed., In that condition of mind rests the most supreme triumph of sea power over ignorant fears of which history holds any record. The oversea danger remains today what N has always been. The peril of in- vasion does not exist On tho other hand, "raiding forces, each consisting of comparatively few thousand men, might be dispatched by an enemy in the more or less desperate hope that, owing to the small tonnage of shipping employed in transporting them, some way might be found through the chain of mobile defence on the British coast" That relative ly small peril confronts us. The more desperate the condition of the Gen. tral Powers the greater 1t will be- come

llc Amusement and the Park Commis- sions consider the idea of equipping Walnut Hill Park with toboggan slide. It is too late this year to erect one; but it is not too late to con-, sider the feasibility of the plan. level ground whereon is situated the public tennis courts there is an 1n- cline sufficient to supply the necessary slide. With the purchase of several thousand feet of lumber and the ser vices of a small bevy of carpenters a toboggan slide can be erected at Q very moderate cost to the city. All things considered, such municipal gift to the boys and girls would be cheap at any price. It would afford a form of amusement attractive also to the grown-ups, and take the little ones away from the streets and the dangers attendant upon heavy traffic in the public thoroughfares.
 A toboggan slide at Walnut Hill Park would be the envy of every city in Connecticut. There is at present but one in the state, that in the vicinity of Norfolk. Canadian munich palities have supplied their children with this form of amusement and the plan Is everywhere voted success Snow Is not necessary adjunct for the operation of such slide.

Philadelphia's Prosperity. (PhiladelDhta PreSS,)

In Philadelphia there is evidence of prosperity upon every hand. The de- partment stores never handled SC large business as they did last month. Another very good index of local activity is the gross receipts of the local traction company. The gross earnings of the Rapid Transit com pany are ten per cent greater than Tor corresponding periods of 1915, due largely to the unprecedented activity of the industrial establishments. The future of Philadelphia is well as- sured. While many industries in this vicinity have been engaged upon war orders, the plants have been enlarged and improved, so that they are in strong position to hold their own in times of peace. The Delaware is des- tined to become a greater industrial section, and from Trenton to Will mington on both sides of the river the territory is tributary to Philadelphia. Local hanks are thrifty and we'll able to handle the growing financial needs of expanding Philadelphia.

Yale Opens a Door to Women.
Providence Journal.)

Providence Journal.)
 Yale university, through the action of it's corporation, has opened another door to women. Hereafter they will be admitted to the graduate school a. candidates for the degree of master of arts. This degree has not beer. given them at Yale in the past, although the university has bestowed upon them the degrees of doctor of philosophy, mas ter of science, doctor of medicine, bachelor of music and bachelor of fine arts
 The bachelor of arts degree Is still out of their reach at New Haven, but 1t Is conceivable that a women's col lege will some day be established there as Yale department. Stranger things have happened in the educationa world.
 Wesleyan university, at Middletown Connecticut. has dropped co-educat1or and the Connecticut College fol Women at New London nas enrolled some two hundred young women in Its first two classes. There has been some talk of the possibility of g. women's college under Wesleyan control, but the New London institution more o1 less fills the field in Connecticut a present. Of course any proposition tt give women regular undergraduate instruction at Yale would meet Wltf strong opposition from large body O. Yale graduates.
