LETTER FROM COUNTY
FARM DEMONSTRATORS

1t is very important that those
wanting cans and fruit jars order
them at once. The price is going up
all the time, and it is doubtful if we
will be able to get them at all very
much later. You should see your
local dealer at once and have him
get what you need
You should can all the fruit and
vegetables you possibly can--they
will be needed. Plant an extra lot
of tomatoes, why eat canned toma-
toes from Maryland?
Have you planted your butter
beans?
Are you taking a good farm pa
per? Did you know you could get
one with your county paper and a
good Atlanta paper cheap.
Not too late to join the pig and

CONSIDER THE GOAT.

Mr.. A. L. Atwood in Macon Tele-
graph
Il can't understand how my friend
the goat has been overlooked in this
great demand for something to eat.
1t can live anywhere and it costs
absolutely nothing to raise. They
are the most prolific of all animals,
the hardest, and require less atten-
ton. There is no such thing as cho-
lera, ticks, mouth disease, or even pip
with goats. Nobody ever heard of a
goat with a disease of any kind.
You don't have to plant anything
for them, and they thrive on the
poorest of land, in the valleys, on
the hills-any old place. You don't
have to bring them in at night, or
turn them out in the morning. You
have only to turn them loose and
catch one when you need it.
"And it's good eating! Spring lamb
is good, but could you ask for any
thing better than a piece of baked
or barbecued kid? You cant eat the
old ones, of course, but they cost
nothing to keep Take the pigeon
family. You can't eat the old ones,
but the squads are good.
"All in all, the goat is mans best
friend in these days of the high cost
of living. 1t doesn't cost cent to
raise him, and is no more trouble to
raise than if you didn't have one. |
don't like to see him overlooked
while we are wondering what is to
become of us if provisions get much
higher"

gocus must exercise every precaution should the law in the District of Columbia be copied by states through. out the Union. They will be liable to fine and Imprisonment. In an att tempt to safeguard the flag from the hands of interruptions persons the
 men who drafted this law make 1t al-
 most impossible to display the flag except by persons absolutely dt-s vorced from business. Enthusiasm ran riot when. this measure was put through. Members of state legisla- lures must take Q saner and more rational view of the question. Other
 wise Old Glory will fly from nothing
 but public buildings. The new law which was approved on February 8,
 this year, came just near enough to the inauguration date to show what
 might happen. Many merchants
 feared to make public display of the
 flag, in their window decorations.
 At this period in the internatianal situation men display the flag because
 they arc prompted by spirit of pa triotism. The Star spangled Banner is flown from the roofs of homes and the fronts of other buildings because of an inborn ;love for country. The Ing is flown in public for the same reason it is printed at the top of these editorial columns,-to make folk re-
 member the traditions that lie behind 1t. There is plain line of differsn- tiation. between .advertising and pa- triotism. No law should be enacted that might act as boomerang to tho welfare of the state. Any such law that cilrtails the use of the flag to such an extent that people are afraid to Mys 1t at such a time as this is just . trif9e too drastic. It should be toned down. People should be encouraged to fly the flag rather than dis couraged. Without waxing too bom- bastic over love for country, men flag. In moments of tenseness such Ias this the flag should be displayed from all buildings, public and private. 'Obeying all those laws that pertain to respect of the fias, no American busi- ness man should be made feel he is using the insignia of the nation for advertising purposes when he merely wishes to keep step with the music of 1 the Union.

THINK IT OVER.
Gardener Says Vegetable Garden | One Way to Lower the Cost Of niving

Gardener Says Vegetable Garden IT One Way to Lower the Cost of Ldving. Have vegetable garden. You have not the land? Then hire some. We guess that there are in New Britain from 500 to 500 owners of vacant lots. of varying size, and productive and workable, who would '.faM over them selves to lease them for vegetable gardens for the season on reasonable shares or for cash, to men, women and children who could satisfy them that they would make good" on the proposition. We know at least four men who have profited by the plan in the past, and we know that many more might. There is vacant and available land enough within fair walking distance of City hall to sup port hundreds of people. Under pres- ent conditions not q foot of this land should lie idle.
 First, hire your plot. Do 1t now. Get the lease In writing % that thes owner cannot sell you out during thA' season. The lease will cost you 1.e0 and tho record fee. If you are new to. the idea, avoid trying to work too much land. Better small plot well worked than more that will require more time and strength than yoN can muster. Get some experienced pereon to 90 in with you if possible, for two are much better than one.
 Second, get some form of compost started or contracted for right away. No cash outlay will be needed. for this. If you do not know how to get 1t. ak some practical. experienced gardener or farmer friend. And advise with him about anything you want to know.
 Third, but you may have to hire your land plowed If 90 this will be your only considerable cash outlay. except tools if you have none. And you must have your land plowed. and plowed deep. if it is sward. which 1t should be. If possible. get skilled, experienced man to do your blowing. and. by the job, not by the hour. A poor job of blowing will increase your work for the entire season.
 Fourth, buy your seeds early and test them. Your seedsman will tell you how. Buy and plant 1iberally; you can better thin. than plant over. Of course you will want some flower seeds.
 Fifth, select your crops SO that you the fall, as we'll as to use during the summer and fall.
 Sixth, the most practicaf publica- tions we know of about gardening are issued by the government in pamphlet form. Most of them gre free. Write to the Bureau of Publications at Washington. D. C., for its list, and then send for what you want.
 "A garden may be made the com panion and friend of many 8 leisure hour, and furnish . spot where at chance intervals 0 severer labor every man who has a garden patch may benefit himself and take pleas ure in his labor" (F'rom an old Far- mer's Almanac).

It is no more difiicult to hold a handkerchief over. the mouth when sneezing or coughing and it may prevent some other person from contracting an ailment.
 Most suggestive is the cover picture on this weeks Saturday Evening Post
 New Britain husbands are worried. Their wives have, read an article written by some traitorous male under the nom de plume of femininity in which, posing as an expert on some thing or other, he says that snoring is the sign of an easy conscience. What is worrying the hubbies is what their wifies will do when they do not snore. Is it to be taken as a clue to be sus- picious? @
 There has been some independent agitation to. take the right of fixing salaries out of the hands of the com- mon council and placing 1t in the de- partment of the finance board. It Is thought by some that the council Is oftimes too lenient, its sympatfies are too easily aroused by eloquence, with the result that increases sometimes given are not in the proper ratio. It has been argued that a stable finance board. composed of fair and broad minded business mon who really. know city conditions, would. act more wise- ly. They would have, to be shown" before raise would be forthcoming, but would not hesitate. to act where deeds merited it.
 With the numerous and freQuently big salary raises just granted by the council some people arc asking what will happen when the present ab- normal conditions change, as they are sbound to eventually. When war brides cease to bring in fabulous dividends and when the earnings at the factor ies make it advisable for the mana ger to slice wages then prices of staples will perforce drop. But will the high standing of wages already established by the city drop in propor- tion. even as 1t has risen? We are i'm clined to doubt 1t. Would it not hAve been. better had the council In many instances granted salary ln- creases for this year alone, rather than making them permanent by ordinance? '
 Of particular interest to New Bri- tain men employed as motormen is the recent favorable legislative committed report on the bill giving motormen unlimited use of stools in cars equipped with air brakes. If this be Britain motormen on the newer. cars comes . law 1t means that in New can sit down all the time if they SC desire. It means too. that the Chest.

Eggs are rapidly dropping in price. By Easter they will probably be as cheap as they were 10 years ago when they were expensive.-Milwau- kee Sentinel
New Britain herald., 1917-03-10

Prices of eggs have tumbled for the time being. Perhaps tumble is not the word. At any rate eggs are not as costly this week as they were last week. The reason for this is be- cause some of the specplators have let loose great quantity upon the market. The hens too have begun to lay again. Between the laxiness of hens and the thriftiness or egg deal- CTS the consumers must suffer.

MY LAST CIGAR. (By James Shepard) !.

 Full sixty-two long years ago
 I smoked my first cigar. I was at school with other boys
 Who came from near and far. Not only from throughout the town,
 But from the towns around To our endowed academy,
 The best that could be found. The meeting house with lofty spire
 Still guards the village green,
 And climbing up the hill beside
 May pupils yet be seen. The school nearby was at the rear.
 And very much the higher, From whence we viewed the village
 street
 Beneath that lofty spire. And at the end of each school year.
 That meeting house was ours. We gave our exhibitions there
 To demonstrate our powers. We changed the pulpit to . stage
 For our dramatic art, In "Gascon Peasant and the Flies,''
 I played the Peasants part. That school still stands upon that hill,
 But with a change of name, They dropped the name academy
 And Lewis High school came. often think of the old boys
 played with on that fill Many are gone. but quite few
 Are boys among us still. When we were young, the cigarette To us was never known, And what few men did smoke at all Did mostly smoke at home. And when boy could freely smoke Until he'd had enough, And not be sick. we all agreed That boy was rather tough. Tobacco smoke at our school ground only once recall, And on that day, a lone cigar was smoked by one and all. By urging some to take it in. And some to take 1t out. We caused some fifty mouths to greet That cigar on its bout. Wa were not frightened then by germs. Nor any bugaboo, And all but ,salboys did the same A other boys did do. The one who planned that little prank F. Though 1t was hard to beat, And boasted that large red cent Was ample for that treat. Some of those boys. myself for ono,
 Had never smoked before, And but few did then desire
 To do 50 any more. The ''TIill of Science" we did climb
 Within old Southinston, ,s And there smoked and 1t waa there
 left off when I'd done. My closing lines. it seems to me. ss
 Are best of all by far. Full sixsy-two long years ago INmo1ed my last cigar.
