LET, US FORGET.
It's . Way People Have, So Why Worry Over the High Prices
 of Coal in New Britain?

s H To the Editor of the Herald:
 Several weeks ago, we shook g. little red flag in front of our coal dealers here in New Britain; but they did not rise to the bait. Or. in other words, they used the worldly wisdom that is theirs, and knowing that the common ordinary person on the street forgets those things except when: he has to go in his pocket and pay. they let the matter drop, knowing that that is safer than to try and offer extenuating excuses why we here in New Britain should pay $12.0O a ton for coal when people were buying 1t all last winter in 8 small little place called Hayerstraw. N. Y.. for $6.50 and $T6O. O! yes, let the matter drop. people will forget 1t. Let people in New Britain pay $500 more ton for coAh weA need the money. But when. little GeorSie, or is he big Georgte from Berlin. comes into the situation and tDies to cut our throats by deducting one big dollar from our small profits? that we get and brings 1t all the way up from Berlin too. we go right to headquarters and Georgie has to so back and keep quiet. O! we'll, let us not bother the coal dealers any more. let us forget 1t.

and Main streets, near Franklin Square, That block has been in the course of construction for going on . year, or, perhaps longsr. Tho process of building has been very slow. Ever since the builders went to wor1c they have monopolixed the public highway with their building materials. Sand and bpick and mor- tar and marble and sheet iron and steel and boards and everything known in the realm of engineering have been strewn in haphaxard fashion about this place. There arc two streets literally covered with debris. These are Elm and Main. No one has been able to use the side walks on either of these streets at that particular point for many day. In the winter, when the slush and sleet made walking difficult, mon and women and children were forced to seek the middle of the highways. It seems outrageous. And the end is nowhere in sight. When the city gives permit for building does 1t also grant right for the builder to take away the public sidewalks from the people and use, them for storage places for his material7 The atten-, ton of the building inspector should be called to this matter. Aside from the inconvenience mentioned the cor. ner at Elm and Main streets Is rap-s idly becoming an eye-sore. Lot us have action.

X FALSE DOCTRINE.

Talk of overproduction of foodStuffa at this time Is foolish. There is . worldwide shortage of food. That is an admitted fact. Because of this there began the great campaign in the United States for a wholesale planting of crops. Now some fear there will
 be superabundance of these crops and that the producers and middle
 men will suffer The ultimate con-
 sumner, as usual, is given no thought.
 There is fear that he may be able to
 purchase his foodstuffs at reasonable
 prices. It is easily seen from what
 quarter come these observations.
 There is mischief in the air.
 Any move that might tend to halt
 the planting of this year will work
 havoc in the year to follow. Any or
 ganized campaign to this end Is
 nothing short of treason. Every acre
 that can be planted must be planted.
 Every piece of land that is capable of producing crops must be cultivated. Home gardeners as we'll as the old line farmers must keep on the job. They must not be defected from tho path upon which they set out. Pa4ri- otism was behind the movement to Plant a Garden" Treason alone will the nationwide movement. It must be remembered that tho United States is not confronted mere ly with the problem of feeding its own people. All Europe. 1t least that part of Europe outside the realm of Ger. many and her allies. looks forward to America for help. That is the task that confronts this country; to feed the world: That 1t is no small re- sponsibility may be judged by tho fol- lowing remark of George W. Perkins before gathering of steed magnates last night In New York: 'T suppose you know We are. going to have the poorest crop in twenty-five years" Not only i'm agriculture, but in live- .tock will the world be short of valu- ] lble products. Mr. Perkins recalled l his horrible situation. Calves from our to six weeks old are being 1 and many other forms of | lnimal life, many of them carrying | heir young, arc being sent to slaush- or because of the high cost Of food.''
 Let no one preach the doctrine of | of 1foodstuffs. It is a | alse doctrine and liable to throw the | world in the throes of pestilence and | anime.

ing the past week that the expenses of the barbers in New Britain havs not varied appreciably in comparison with other businesses The initial outlay of the barber business still consists of rent, fixtures. and few materials some of which depend for their sale upon the idiosyncrasies of certain customers. Not all mon, for instance. insist upon tontcs, etc. If the prices of these tonics have. gone up. that is different; but the hintod high cost of a haircut Is hardly ex- ousable, all things considered. The barbers should think these things over, when they get chance.

WHEN THE BARRIERS GET A
 CHANGE.

Twenty-f1ve cents iA the normal price for . haircut. Tn exclusive barber shops there is generally added an additional ten cents to this price. These shops generally are located in tho fashionable hotels throughout the country and 90 do not come into the life of the average man. In cities and towns like New Britain the average barber shop holds to tho first named price. Now the barbers of this city are contemplating the ad- visibility of adjusting their prices so as to conform with the prices charged at old Point Comfort. Palm Beach and some Pacific Coast resorts. The new schedule of prices for this tonsorial service is destined to come into effect on Juno 1, unless the bar bers have . change of heart. The Union barber shops will be the only ones to charge this price. The non- Union shops have made no move to add this additidAal tax upon the men of New Britain.
 Men are rather easy-xoins animals. They may and they may not resent the enforced increase in the price for hair-cuts. If they do they have one or two alternatives. They can either have their hair cut at homo, vic the bowl and the shears, or, they can forestall the regular weekend service and let the locks grow long around their coat collars. They can. in . nutshell. make one haircut do where now 1t requires two or three, to keep them In feshion. The man who sets . haircut once in ten days. is. n . rule. treated merely to-. q .sfeather-edge,' . sort of trim round the sides and back" Entravasanee alone sends some men to their barbers for all the little fol-de-rols that knight of the shears can mets out The wise head waits until the hirsute adornment has actually srown to pq-. tential proportions, until he really needs haircut.
 & The barbers might do we'll to pom der over the change they advocate in the pricss of hair-cuts. It will re- quire lot. of logic on their part. to convince the average man of today that haircut after June is worth ten cents more than a, haircut be- fore June 1. The cost of barbers'
 materials has not advanced in such . fashion as to warrant any such ac- ton. A man who goes into . bar ber's shop for haircut does not wear out . pair of shears. The wear and tear on the shop because of his presence there is not enough to warrant | encouragement of prices. It has been fittinxly remarked by . correspondent in these columns dur-

In the smiling lea of the shielding sea It has grown to its great estate, '5 Untouched by the blight of sraspins Or the whitening creed of hate.

 Lord Has forged for His hour of flame! For those who sleep dark fathoms On the cold. harsh ocean's bed, For the weak ye slew with your blood-

 half. For the mothers who watched them For the brothers ye gave to the hum

  Yet our righteous wrath but lights
 the path That leads to the distant goal; We follow afar nobler star Than vengeance for our dole. The Power who swayed while worlds
 were made, Who breathed hope into man, Hath raised us high beneath His eye To serve His larger plan. The despot smites, the Finger writes, And through the quivering air A message comes on throbbing drums That call the free to dare. The thunders crash, the lightnings
