Nevertheless the bill before the United States congress has failed.
 There is tax imposed upon each pound of oieomargarine today that is colored to look like butter and that of course is the kind that the trade wants This tax is not solely because colorings matter is used for such is about as extensively used in the col bring of butter as in the case of o1eo- margarine, but it is because the col- ored oleomargarine cannot be detected from the dairy product when it is coll ored and the tax gives a certain amount of protection to the purchaser that would not otherwise. be received. That oleo Is today sold in many in stances for butter without the GUS toner Knowing the difference is high ly probable but it would be done to 3 far greater extent if the tax was not imposed, and the consumer is entitled to have butter and not oleo if he in- sists upon 1t.
 The whole trouble is that there are certain manufacturers and dealers who cannot be trusted. They are eager and ready to take advantage Of their best friends at the first opportunity. If oleo would be sold for what 1t Is, without those handling 1t passing it off for butter, there could be little ex- cuse for the tax. but experience teaches to the contrary and for that reason the protection of the buyer re- quires the tax.

quotations were correct, as far as known. Yes. the English did hire the Hessians to fight Us in the War Of the Revolution. They would hire fighters to fight for them in these days. only that it is impossible to hire in such numbers as the present war calls for. Instead of that, England allies herself with other unwise nations and has them
 fight her battles for her. Poor France, why did she have to get into this mess? Didn't she have. enough 40 years for some time by furnishing her with
 war supplies vE

THE THAMES RIVER BRIDGE.

The action which has been taken by the state senate in favor of ;ma9S- ing the bridge over the Thames be- tween New London and Groton, after it is taken over by the state and con verted into a highway structure. a toll bridge for a period of 20 years is to be commended. It is in keeping with the requirements of the situation. It is impossible by the present meth cd of ferrying to properly handle the traffic desiring to cross the river at all times. There is need Of a highway bridge at that point and the New Ha- ven has generously come forward and offered the existing railroad bridge to the state for such use after its new structure is completed and no further use exists for the present one.
 By exacting a toll from those using the bridge means that the same meth cd will be followed as on two of the Connecticut river bridges. The cost of making the changes will be met by the state but it will not be long time before the money will be return ed to the state treasury, SO that the commonwealth will be reimbursed for all that 1t expends in thds direction.
 Fortunate indeed is the state, and par ticu1arIy the southern end of New Lon don county that there can be obtained such improved facilities as is offered by this railroad gift. The railroad saves money by not being, obliged to take down the bridge, but it's value has by no means expired for such use as it will be put to and Connecticut can do no better than to accept it with thanks and make the necessary pro- visions for turning it to the use of the people of this state for highway uses. t-%

JUICES OTHERS. BY ITSELF.

Without any ground for taking such a position, no greater demonstration of the lack of confidence on the part of one government for another has been manifested than in the course which has been pursued by Germany relative to the detention of the sail ors-. of the Yarrowdale crew who are subjects of this country and the hold ing up of the United States consuls, located in Germany up to the time of the break in relations between the government but who have been or sdered to other posts in European countries.
 This co1Ir1ry has given Germany no cause for believing that it's consuls or subjects, or even its property would rbe mistreated in this country. It has done everything to dispel such an idea, and if there was any reason ex- isting at, all to suspect that obliga- tions would not be respected while diplomatic and consular representa- tives were being withdrawn or even subjects were endeavoring to get home, they have been furnished by Germany rather than the United States.
 Germany was not justified in the beginning when it make prisoners of the Americans on the YarrowdaIe There has been no ground whatever for holding them Not the slightest obstacle has been placed in the way of Count Bernstorff's party and no consular agent of Germany has been interrupted in his movements by this country and when Germany attempts to claim that there has, or to express fear that there would be. it is Judging this country by it's own actions in most unjust manner but expressing once more it's disregard for the rights of anyone who doesn't knuckle to it's preposterous demands. No better evi- dence of Germany's unwillingness to play fair could be furnished.

BETTER RURAL SCHOOL 8.

The bureau of education of the de- partment of the interior has been put ting forth strong efforts for a long time in behalf of better schools in the rural districts throughout the coun- try. There Is recognized of course that there are certain states where such schools are much better provided for than those in others. There are better teachers, greater advantages and in many cases they come nearer to offering the educational facilities provided in the cities.
 But there Is need of just such i'm provenent over a large section of the country and just at the present time endeavors are being made to get better teachers for the schools out side of the cities. There ecan be no question but what the children. of the rural communities are entitled to just as good opportunities as those of the bigger centcrs. The reason that they do not get them is that there are less people to, provide the expense and somehow or other the idea prevails that as, long as teacher is provided regardless of his qualifications the re- sponsibility has been discharged.
 The fact cannot be overlooked however that the success of a school depends upon the teacher. and for that reason there should be ob- tained so far as possible the best in structors available. This is why 50 great a demand exists for those who have received normal school train ing and the reason why greater atten- tfon should be given to normal school support that the demand in this di- rection can be met. The rural com munities are entitled to and ought to have capable and efficient teachers

The Point of View.

MT. Editor: As The Cloud Digger looks at it when he orders a rip-roar- ing old storm period to swoop down on us, said storm just has to submit like David Crocketts coon, willy nil- ly. The point of view from this angle is different; this onlooker Is reminded of the man who was bragging to com pany how good his dog was to mind. him; I'll show you; Watch. go out of doors.' then added quickly; or under the bed "'when he saw where the dog was headed.
 The Cloud Digger ordered worst of the winter storm from February IS to P1S. ---Eaterf he. admitted 1t failed to Earrive.5 but said it would surely get here. He ordered February 24 to 2S very cold.'' The early morning tenn peratures for the five days were 36. 14, 19, 39 and 28. He ordered eight days of zero weather in February. There were only two here. Of course, there are cheap thermometers which get rattled when they go below ten. have access to figures by reliable thermometer, and notice figures given daily in Bulletin are from 3 to 6 or more degrees above mine, never lower. My readings, however, are usually made earlier than a: m.
 The Cloud Digger in order to make a showing brings in. Maine and New Hampshire. Sure he can win on eight days of zero weather if he takes in
 
 Arctic regions. Are his predictions not for The Bulletins field of circula- tion. Eastern Connecticut
 Oh, yes; that worst of the winter storm, that "very cold" spell. those eight zero days will all get here sure. if not this winter smother winter: if not here in New England, in smother country. They must come.
 The Cloud Digger accuses his critics of having short memories. May 1t not be his own? In his latest he claims his "oid rules" his famous sailors log had saved every ship ever sailed by four generations. In his earlier let ters there were only three generations. Same in matter of his years of ser vice as forecaster. Tn his first letter this year it was 24 years; three weeks later it was 25, years. A year or two ago in replying to one of his great army of commanders, he nodestly con- fessed he did not really make the weather he merely forecasts it. Isn't he making 1t now?

PROHIBITION IN WASHINGTON

The dry wave continues to make progress and the value of it seems to have made it's appealsto the members of congress from the way in which they have dealt with, the bill for pro- hibition in the District of Columbia Having the power to impose the re- striction there without referendum both houses of congress have proceed ed to vote for prohibition in the dis trict to ,s the extent that intoxicating liquors cannot be sold there, and there is nothing to indicate but what the president will af1ix his signature to the bill.
 : This bin. however. does not mean that, the national capital will be sTbone- dry" for while the saloons. which number somewhere in the neighbor- hood of 300. will have to go out of business, there is nothing in the bill which prohibits the importation of li- quor for personal use and nothing which says that a person cannot have liquor in his possession, so that those who are inclined that way need not suffer for the lack of their. favorite bev- craze but they cannot step up to a public bar and obtain 1t. The bill has apparently been aimed at the sa- loon influence and with the president s approval it will have succeeded in JUS -pufpOSS- HlIH tlS pfOPeH SLloTCe- ment.
 Such of course; is gratifying to the prohibition. workers. but there is nevertheless not little sentiment in behalf of an additional law which will prevent the use of mails for getting liquor into the District. and with the spread of prohibition sentiment there is no telling what the result will be even though the residents of thaSDis- trict' are given no opportunity to ex- press their minds.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Home for MutiIsted Soldiers.

Home for Mutiisted Soldiers.
 The war has turned the palace of the Bourbon kings of Naples into q home for mutilated soldiers. Around the exquisite marble table whe-e the guests of the "Roi Soleil'' of Naples dined in the garden on hot summer nights--the ladies in powdered head dress and panier skirts, the men with lace at tlfeir sleeves and embroidered coats--today are gathered the pitiable fragments of humanity that war has left in it's wake. There are neither candles nor massive silver, neither Italian government allows 70 cents per day for their lodging and main tenance, and food Is high in Naples.
 Ths marble table on warm days in the garden is the recreation center of the mutilated, in their worn and fad ed uniforms. Before each is an ob- long cardboard placard. some of whose spaces are numbered. One of the men Che must be one of those who have lost a leg, for the on-armed cannot do the tricl<) shakes basket-bottle and turns out a numbered counter. In the singsong Neapolitan dialect, he cries the number The one whose placard bears it. covers the space with a bit Of glass. Whoever covers all his spaces first wins 0 cent from each of the others.

pleasing in His sight. The spirit of trust which thought of His daily presence and beauty inspires is strength added to strength and faith added to faith and joy added to joy. What seems to many to be foolish ness is might. and what seems to the spiritually blind to be imaginary is real power. Science has shown us the material forces are temporary and the invisible forces eternal. The soul who is conscious of the Fatherhood of God has no reason to fear the weak knows He is the Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end.
 Some one has said: Advertising is educating the public where things may be found and is a necessity No argument is needed to prove this be- cause it is Seif-evident; and yet there are many business men who still ques- tion the policy of putting out ten dollars in the expectation of getting back twenty. The great advertisers pay out millions to acquaint the peo- pie with their specialties and take in more millions because the people need them. It never pays to advertise things the people do not need. Me- cessity is the mother of trade. well as of invention. If they do not know they need the things advertised the art of the advertiser must be exer- cised in impressing upon them the fact that they are necessary for SuS- tenance comfort or protection Hence, it is important that an advertiser should first realize that he must be an educator $in order to make his busi- ness announcements effective: and second, that as a square dealer he must size right up to the guarantees he holds out to the public.
