JUDGE TUTTLE,s RESERVATION.

By the letter which Governor HoI- comb has sent to Judge Futile he has to all intents and purposes accepted his resignation from the superior court bench after a brief period of service in that position. Judge Tut tie is Q man of high attainments and he has demonstrated that the gov ernor made a wise selection when he named him for that position By his resignation Judge Futile will deprive the state of the services of one who gave great promise, but it is surpris- ing. nevertheless that he should ad- vance the reason which he does for re- turning to private practice of the law.
 When he accepted the appointment it was understood what the salary was in connection herewith. There was no salary raise promised and none which could be relied upon. The gen eraI assembly has not been inclined to indulge in the practice of raising salaries without reason and in taking that view it acted in accordance with the sentiment of the state
 There is no reason to doubt but what Judge Futile is able to secure a much larger income from his pri- vate practice, but appointment to the bench is life job, with a good fat salary up to the age of 70 and half that amount TOT the remainder Of judges years as state referee. No one of course can tell a judge that his income must be limited and Judge Futile in this respect unquestionably understands his own case best, but 1t would appear to have been the right time for giving this matter proper thought when the appointment was offered to him two years or so ago By his resignation the state will lose an able judge but there appears 10 be no alternative under the cir cumstances.

 Back in October. 1775, it required courage to stand out for ones convic- tionS even more than it does in this age of independence.
 Therefore, when Governor Fitch. of Connecticut. called upon his Assist ants''-of whom Jonathan TrumbulI, of the town of Lebanon was one of the leaders,-to administer to him the re- quired oath to enforce the Stamp Act, it meant something grave to decline.
 When five, the requisite legal mum ber out of the twelve, were found bull refused to be present to witness its administration Taking his hat, he hastened from the chamber leading the six other Assistants who, with him, stood firm.
 This, with similar clear and cour- ageous conduct. showed him to the celonists as erninently fitted to be their first magistrate, and to have their in terests in his care. Consequently, he was chosen governor in 1769.
 TrumbuII had already had large ex- periences in public affairs. He had fourteen times represented the town and had three times filled the office of speaker; had been chosen Assistant for twenty-two years; had been for one year side judge and for seventeen years chief judge of the County Court of Windham County He had been for the Windham District; had been once elected assistant judge, and for four times was Chief Justice of the super for court of the Colony; four years, also. he had been Deputy Governor

 Head lettuce seed should be planted early in the season, a half ounce be- ing enough to plant 100 feet of row. The plants when quite small should be trimmed to stand to inches apart while the rows ought to be one foot apart at least. The plant needs much moisture. hence thorough should be given, while artificial watering helps the crops in dry weather. The en- tire head should be cut for use.
 Ronalne leaves grow erect and form a. loose head The crop is grown the same way as head lettuce. except that when the plants are grown the outer leaves should be tied together at the top to bleach the inner leaves.

A partically shady part of your gar den can be used for growing head let tuce or romaine lettuce in the warm months. says today's bulletin from the NatidnaI Emergency Food Garden this newspaper to urge more food gar dens.
 The quality of lettuce is apt to be injured in hot, dry weather For that reason some sort of partial shading is desirable when the plants will not mature before hot weather sets in. Hot weather coming early in the life of the lettuce plant is apt to prevent it from forming any head.
 When the garden is not shaded the lettuce may be artifically shaded in hot weather by a movable screen by stretching cheesecroth over b " shaped frame made of light strips of wood. The sides of this frame should be 2 or 3 feet wide, and the frame

When Abraham Lincoln said: the plainest print cannot be read through a gold eagle" he simply reaffirmed the fact that selhshness makes men blind in every walk of life. In busi- ness the supreme1y selfish man is a robber; in religion he is a stumbling block; and in the family a petty tyr ant. As has been truly proclaimed "selfshness is that detestable vice which no one will forgive in others, and no one is without himself" This Is the evil spirit in man which un- derlies all his villianies and makes his redemption necessary. It cannot be separated from organization or CO., operation whatever it's form or de- clared purpose It is the one fault civilization promotes rather than re- tards; and that the church has never freed itself from. The scorpion stings Itself and dies from its own poison; and man protesting better things, dies a victim of-his own wickedness., Sel- f1shness seems to be in the individual a little fault; but in the mass it is giant evil.

districts have been backed up

In a sort OF panic. according TO state
Market Director James n. Mcbride.
Mr.. Mcbride put up to Food Ad-
ministratOr Prescott the plan of
placing a price on potatoes to the
consumer in the hope that the spec
ulators could be scared off and the
confidence of the farmer restored.
He suggested 40 cents a peck, or
$3.50 bushel, almost the same
price which il is understood in
newspaper reports has been fixed by
Food Administrators Wheeler in IL

Administrator Prescott took the
matter under consideration but be
cause of reports from certain sec
tions of the state that the rising
price of potatoes was caused by a
shortage of cars il is doubtful
whether any official price fixing will
be attempted.

The most serious question, now
that labor troubles have been over
