 Msn Short.

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 19.-That Con- the Aver camp instead of being six hundred n3en short Is the claim made here. Thde rlaim is made that the draft quota Tor the state of 10.S77 was based on very much padded popula- ton estimatSe and that actually the state has sent about 1000 more men into the army than would have been called had the draft estimates been made on approximately accurate data. A local paper will tomorrow quote an unnamed authority for the accuracy for the above statements. Another unnamed official will be quoted to the .efrect that 50 per cent of the war mu- nitfons are made in this state -as an argument why fewer mon should be taken for the army.

Their efforts are declared to De inspired by Apprehension, that Ger iarly the latter, may not te over jealous in defending Bulgaria's Inter est at the peace conference, as we'll as by a desire on Bulgaria's part to escape from revolving in an exclusive ly German orbit after the war.
 Bulgarian Aspirations Explained
 The Associated Press correspondent is able to report that Bulgarian rep resentative recently sought and ob- tained an opportunity in a-neutra1 European capital to lay before the of his country with regard to a peace settlement and in a sided con- versAtion explained Bulgarian aspira- tfons to regain an independent politi- cal status as soon as the war was concluded and resume cordial reIa- tions with tfiAs entente. powers. As the case was presented. in short, the central Europe idea of an economic league in which Bulgaria would play a comparatively minor role does not appeal to the Bulgarian mind. s5-
 Attempts are also being made to get before the public in America and in the entente. countries defence of Bulgarian protestations to Macedonia and the Dobrudja, the suggestion even being openly made from the Bulgarian side that Serbia should be compen-- sated with Austrian territory, from Bosnia and Herzegovina-a suggestion which Is pointed to as Illustrative of the attitude of many Rulgarians to- ward their own allies.
 Bulaarians Arc Dissatisfied.
 The correspondent has of late heard of considerable i'll feeling between the Bulgarians and their allies. Com plaints are made that Bulgarian df- visions were compelled to march long distances while favored German troops rolled past them in trains, this fa- vorftism exciting particular bitterness on the part of a select Bulgarian d. vision from the capital.
 German Attempt to Control Coal
 Field.
 The German attempt to maintain control of Bulgaria's single coal field has excited much unfriendly comment also in Bulgaria and Field, Marshal Won Mackensen Is charged with fa- voring the Rumanfans at Bulgarian expense. Furthermore, the press con- troversy in certain German and Aus trian newspapers in which the Serb 1 ian claims to parts of Macedonia were defended apparently has left an in l delible impression of distrnst on pub | lie opinion in Bulgaria. an impression | which the public declarations of the | German minister and the interchanges l of cordial te1egrams between German and Bulgarian hDtafesmen seems to | have been unable to efface. 1t re- l mains to be seen whether Emperor | WtIliam's trip, declared to have been with this purpose in view. will prove any more successful.

WE HAVE A FEW.

The super-sensitive man or woman is a Euzzl-
ing proposition for a community to handle.
The person of acute senslbllity suffers sights
where meme are intended. lie is forever imagin-
ing that his friends are not as cordial as they
should be.
The sensitive man wears his feelings on his
sleeve, as it were, and they are forever being ruI-
fled by the passer-by.
If this extreme constituencies in our nelghbor
were a fault in the ~strictest sense OF the word we
would know how to deal with him. But it is not
such a fault. It is purely the result Of s~elf-con-
seriousness and is frequently found in persons Of
q warm hearted disposition. They have a cordial
liking for their friends and are perhaps of an i'm
pulsive, ardent temperament. Their feelings find
vent in an effusiveness that rarely meets with the
response which they think it merits and disap-
pointment is the result.
The great trouble with the sensitive man is
that he has not yet realized that all men are not
built on the same plan as himself. He should re-
member that there are as many different natures
as there are individuals, and each has his own
peculiar mannerislns and modes of expression.
A smile is simply the working Of a certain set
of facial muscles, and is just as easy to call up as
is a frown. Courtesy and kindness are two OF
the noblest qualities of humanity, and are at
tanned at the smallest price.
Give the super-sensitive person a smile when
YOU meet him. He will feel better, and so will
you.

SUBSTITUTES FOR MEAT.

Not merely has beef remained at high prices
through the year, but the demand created by the
war and the foot and mouth disease are disturb
ng conditions that may send it a good deal higher.
A great many families have to consider whether
they can not make wider use of substitutes.
LIuch is said along this line about the advant-
age Of a larger vegetable diet. Millions of fami-
lies today, WHO used to have meat twice or three
Zines a day, now have it but once, and even less.
Much might also be said as to the possibility of
making a larger use of fish, oysters and other
sea foods. According to the economists, when you
buy fish, you get a much larger proportion of
nutriment for the money than in the case of
meat.
Fish foods have always occupied a subordinate
place, from the general feeling that they can be
used satisfactorily only by people living fairly
close to the place where the fish are caught.
Modern cold storage methods, however, make it
possible to take them anywhere. Many varieties
If canned fish are very arpetlzing.
The prejudice against fish seems to be largely
a question Of cooking. Hotels, restaurants and
dining cars usually have fish courses, and at
tractively Drowned and seasoned, few people skip
them. Summer hotels situated along the ocean
advertise their 'shore dinners" People will
travel long distances, drawn by this attractively
prepared sea food. This is due not merely to the
freshness of the material, but still more because
the cooks in these sections have been trained from
childhood to cook fish in an appetizing manner.
Apparently the meat diet is to be a luxury for
many years. Nothing will ever bring back the
free ranges of the west. But there is abundant
nutriment left in the sea and on the farms. If
the cooks know their business, it can have just
as good a relish as the b~eefsteak or the lamb chop.

Tile drainage also does much to
prepare land for the growing of clo-
yer, alfalfa and other legumes. The
development Of bacteria on the roots
Of legumes requires that the soil must
be warm an dwell aerated.
Prof. w. H. Stevenson at the recent
Indiana drainage convention discussed
some most important questions. In
answer to the question, "is there any
difference experienced in very dry
seasons through the tile drainage of
lands?" he replied:
"Under no conditions does a tile
drain remove water from the soil,
which is or will be of value to that
soil or the crop that grows on it.
That's true, because the tile drain
takes from the land only surplus wat
er-water which we call surplus be-
cause it is not held by the soil parti-
eles. The only relation that the sur
plus water bears to the land and the
crop is a nuisance. No season is ever
so dry that any water that a tile has
taken out would have responded ben
eficial." ..,'
When asked "What per cent. of the
value of the land can be paid for tile
drainage?" he replied:
u know a farmer who had a farm
that cost him $1,000. 1t had two or
three ponds and was very wet. He
spent $4,000 or $4,000 on drainage and
doubled the income. l know of MANY
farms in our state which are absolute
ly unproductive, not partially, not
spotted with certain bad places, but
absolutely u~nproductive, because they
are too wet. That land may be worth
$40 or $40 per acre in that condition.
There is almost no reasonable limit
to the amount Of money a man can
spend on that land to get it into shape
for cultivation, because it will nav
him back a hundredfold."
