TRACTORS.

Many tractors are being purchased in Litchfeld County. They are of various makes and types. The reason behind their rapid increase in numbers is the need of increased production at @ time when both horse and man labor are expensive and difficult to obtain.
 These tractors are in many cases, working satisfactorily. 1t is true, how ever, that, in one sense at least, the tractor is still in the experimental stage. Undou btedly within a few years they will become standardized to the point where certain type will be the established tool for certain kind of work, just as automobiles have been standardized. At present a purchaser must make his choice between widely different kinds of machines without much definite information to guide him. The man who can do his work successfully this year without tractor will have the experience of his neigh bors to determine his choice.

SPEEDY FENININITY.

It is an everyday occurrence to read of men coming to grief because of their recklessness as drunken auto drivers, but when we read that Miss Sadie Aver was fined $200 for driving an auto while intoxicated in Thompson vile" it seems to sound differently some way.
 Of course, there is no law to prevent girl or woman from getting drunk, nor is there law to prevent anyone from making fool of himself if he chooses to do so, but we country people, brought up in "the land of steady habits," have not yet arrived at the stage of modern "cultur" to appreciate nor tolerate drunken representative of the fair sex. If girl thinks she is making hit by such procedure the quicker she is brought to the realiza- tion that her only hit is hitting t;ae trail to the lookup the better it will be for her.
 Another fad which appears to be growing in popularity, and of late has become almost an epidemic hereabouts, is the elopement of young girls with juvenile partners, neither of whom is barely capable of self.support.
 Comment is unnecessary, but surely the girls of today-some of them-are speedy bunch.

Our Fight Is a Conflict Between Autocracy
 and Democracy

By WILLIAM c. McADOO, Secretary of
 the Treasury
 THIS war was just as unacceptable \ for this country as that the
 sun is going to rise tomorrow. Every effort compatible with the na- tional honor was made to avoid it. It is the irrepressible and irrecon- cilable CONFLICT BETWEEN AUTOCRACY AND DEMOCRA- CY THAT MADE TT UNAVOID- ABLE. ...
 If.Germany defeated England and France she would add the allied fleets to her own and conquer our shores, driving us into the interior and forcing us to pay an indemnity equal to half of America's wealth. 25O,O0O,OOO,OOO.
 In that case you would have taxa tion upon your, shoulders to meet that indemnity for century to come. It is not my purpose to ex- aggerate.
 ONLY WANT TO MAKE YOU REALIZE THAT YOU ARE IN THE MIDST OF ONE OF THE GREAT EST WARS OF ALL TIMES.
 l hear grumbling about taxation. l do not want any additional bur dens put on the American people, but to win this war we must cheer fully submit to just and generous measure of taxation on our property in order that the economic situation may be made secure.

Universal Military Train
 ing Would each
 Needed Obedience By Professor FRANKLIN H. CID> DINGS, Columbia University

TXTHEN the European war is over
 w the class struggle will break
 forth afresh, with fourfold energy. I think we may confident ly anticipate that the forces of or ganized labor and of socialism will actively oppose professional armies. Rightly or wrongly, they will insist that a professional army may at any time be us ed by a DOMINANT CAPITA ALISM TO QUELL STRIKES AND TO PUT DOWN AN INDUSTRIAL sREVOLU- TION. ~
 International socialism is opposed to all preventable war, but it does not feel about universal, military service as 1t feels about hired and professional army. Universal mill tary training puts all citizens on the same footing. ...
 1 am firmly convinced of the great value of discipline if applied through military training in schools and colleges.
 SUCH DISCIPLINARY TRAINING CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED IN AMERICA EXCEPT THROUGH A COMPULSORY UNIVERSAL MILL. TARY SYSTEM.
 5 One-half at least of that opposi- tion to preparedness which parades as pacifsm is>neither more nor less than an anarchistic revolt against the teaching of obedience.

HORS ES EXIT.

There was time when the rpport that this country had exported 920, 900 horses and 330, ,00O mules since the war started would have caused some alarm, but our economic authorities are not worrying about it now. It is cla1med that we still have about 22,000, 900 horses and that is far too many. Some extremists go so far as to say that the c-untry would be better off if we got rid of horses altogether, to which the Waterbury Republican replies:
 "Their reasoning is simple. Horses must be fed. At time when our human food supply is so precarious, that is an important consideration. Cne horse requires the product of five acres of land to feed him through the year It is estimated that our horse population consumes the crop production of an area equal to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa combined.
 We have, in normal years, about 40, coo, 900 acres devoted to raising oats, which is mostly fed to horses, and 60,000,000 acres devoted to wheat, which is food for men. If it were not for the horses first claim on that 40, 900, 900 acres there would be no wheat problems today.
 It is argued, too, that the use of horses involves additional waste through requiring the service of so many men to take care of them. An automobile or motor truck or tractor is more easily looked after. Every productive use to which horses are put can be served by gas-engine vehicles, and usually served better. The truck or tractor will do far more work than team of horses. The farm, the horses last stronghold, is fast learning to do without him." .

LIVERY man and every nation sL as well owes life to liberty and

 THE SACRED UNION INTO WHICH WE HAVE ENTERED WILL NOT BE DISSOLVED UNTIL THE PEACE OF THE WORLD IS FOR EVER ASSURED.
 We rejoice that, in spite of all that nay be before us, this supreme hour in the worlds history could not be made complete without. the sacrifice and suffering of America with the other free peoples of the world.
 America should not, then, say boastfully that we are fighting un- selfshly. France has been fighting unselfshly, and Great Britain, and what of Belgium, bravest of the brave? More powerful than France, with her intrepid armies, or Eng land, with her mighty fleet, or puis- sant America is that little nation WHICH GERMANY THOUGHT SHE HAD FOREVER CRUSHED UNDER HER FOOT.

DOGS AND SHEEP.

Attempts to revive the sheep indus- try in New England in recent years have been met with the seemingly in- urmountable obstacle of the dog nui- sance Dog laws there have always been, and the farmer has had the right to kill any dog caught worrying or killing sheep. The state have a1so assumed the responsibility for losses incurred by farmers from this menace.
 But there have been two difficulties that have made log laws ineffective. In the first place it is not an easy matter to discover what dog has done the damage. The sheep.killing dog usually works at night when the far. mer has no means of protecting his flock, except with expensive dog fences. Further, when the damage is paid by farmer seldom equals the actual loss sustained. The profit in raising such farm stock as sheep and hogs comes from carrying the animals through to maturity. Iffsheep are killed when young, therefore. the farmer is paid according to the value at such time, and he loses the increment he would obtain were the lambs to be kept until they became more profitable to dispose of.
 Awakened by the absolute necessity of increasing the food supply of the nation, there has been strong revival of the agitation in New England and other eastern states to enact more stringent dog laws and to enforce those already in existence. Both Connecticut and New York have amended their dog laws during the past two months. The New York law is considered excep- tionally effective as it places almost unlimited power in the hands of the Commissioner of Agriculture to regu, late dogs. Connecticut has increased the tax on female dogs, but otherwise rejected all proposals for more stringent regulation.
 In some respects the enforcement of dog laws is similar to the enforcement of trespassing laws. The'railways have found that even in such states where there are stringent laws against tres passing it is difficult to obtain convic- tions because of a general lack of appreciation of the perils of trespass- ing. Sheep farmers have also found that it is difficult to prevent damages to their sheep by dogs because public opinion has not been aroused to the economic loss and damage of such de- predations. ... .. ..-..
 It is recognized by agricultural ex. perts that the most progress will be made when all farmers again become sheep raisers, even though it only be to the extent of few animals. They will then see the necessity of protec- tion and present laws may prove sufficiently effective through rigid en- foFcement.
 The dog is pet, and is frequently considered mans best friend. The loss of a dog is consequently personal loss that is more felt than the loss of any other type of animal. The young dog, however. is peculiarly subject to discipline. He can be trained in innu- merable ways, even to caring and watching flock of sheep. If this prac. tice of training farm dogs were more seriously undertaken the damage to sheep would be materially lessoned. It is often careless Lbreeding and more

but it is an ob- ligation upon every man, woman and child in this country. It is an obli- gation which I hope will not be brought too strongly in the homes of our people, but I do hope that it will be sufficiently well realized that we not only will enjoy the satisfac- tion of contributing our endeavors, our energies and our money, but we also will have thereby received d very great benefit.
 Certainly there is nothing that this people need more than a sense of sacrifice. This is not time to listen to the man who says, ''I am contributing so much here and so much there, taxes are very high, and the cost of living is high" True; all true.
 BUT THAT DOES NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION AS TO WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO FOR MANKIND IN THIS BENIGHTED WORLD.
