M.ni,os. Tr,e. Public Ownership

A few years ago the Province Of
Manitoba took over the telephone
service that the Bell Company main
tanned there. James Mayor. professor
OF political economy in the Univer-
sity of Toronto, has been making
study of the results. Though dis
posed to favor government ownership
OF public utilities, he felt that he
could make an impartial study OF the
situation. He finds that when the
government took over the system the
service was adequate and the charges
fair; there was no popular demand
for the change, but politicians be-
lieved that II would be to the ad
vantage OF their party to bring II
about. What has been the RESULT
used to be, and is so permeated with
politics that II threatens to 20 from
bad to worse. Professor Mayor
shows how the government has man
ipulated its bookkeeping to evade
fixed charges and to conceal deficits,
and how the tar burden has been
Increased. He condemns without
reservation the attempt OF Manitoba
to run the telephone business of the
people of the Province. And Cana
dian political methods. be II well I'M
derstood. are a least as clean as those
on this side OF the border.

Percentage of Increase.

1t will be noticed that from 1851 to
1907 the consumption of liquor adj
vanced by leaps. This advance was
not checked until 1907 when the vet
eran Prohibition states of Maine,
North Dakota and Kansas began to
be re-enforced by later recruits to
Prohibition.
Since 1907. the decrease has been
14.8 per cent, which certainly does
not indicate that Prohibition has not
affected the tendency to consumption
of liquor. If the dry movement had
not arrested the tendency to increase,
and the per capita increase during the
nine-year period between 1907 and
1916 had been as great as during the
seven-year period from 1900 to 1907,
the American people in 1916, instead
of consuming 1910. gallons of liquor
per capita, would have consumed
29.17 gallons per capita or 10 gallons
more than they did consume.
In passing it should be remarked
that the federal government compels
the manufacturer, after whiskey has
been in bond eight years, to with
draw and tax-pay it, at which time it
is registered, as having been "con-
sumed," although, as matter Of
fact, it may not have been consumed
at all.

Washington, D. C.-Figures Of the

the per capita consumption of spir-

is the smallest figure since 1902.

clover is as high as that of red
clover or alfalfa. Maximum
growth is obtained only on soils
that are not acid.
For some reason boiled pars-
nips were long considered in some
regions of Europe to be the prop
er vegetable to serve with. salt
fish, but this tradition is not fol-
lowed in the United States, plain
boiled or fried parsnips being
commonly served with roast
meats of any sort. They are also
used for soups, for fritters. and
so on.
Approximately 20 per cent Of
each potato pared by ordinary
household methods is lost in the
process. The loss includes much
and sometimes all of the portion
of the tuber containing import
ant soluble salts. Potatoes that
are hoiled and baked in their
skins lcse practically none of
their food value.
The name "salsify" is applied
to three distinct vegetables; the
common white satisfy. known al
so on account of it's flavor as oys-
ter plant or vegetable oyster,
black satisfy, the SchwarzWurzel
of the German, and the socalled
Spanish satisfy. Since the salsi-
fies are not injured by mild frosts,
they may be left in the ground
until late winter or early spring.
When for any reason alfalfa
turns yellow it should be cut i'm
mediately and removed from the
field. A careful examination at
such a time may indicate a lack
of effective inocculation, disease,
or the need of lime. following |
sometimes occurs, however. when
all of these conditions are appar-
emily favorable to the grlwth of
the alfalfa.
Winter pIowi..g is useful ag-
ainst almost all weeds having pc
rennial roUts.
Moving pasture lands when
the weeds are in full bloom is an
excellent practice, as it prevents
the for nation of weed seeds. |
Most weeds, even of the peren-
nial type, can gradually be bro't
under control if they are not al
lowed to produce seed for several
years in succession.
In pasture lands that can not
readily be plowed the best pro-
cedure is to apply lime, if need
ed, and to encourage the grass to
grow vigorously by a yearly top
dressing of well-rotted' barnyard
manure and occasional light ap-
plications of commercial fertiliz-
er that is rich in phosphates and
nitrogen. In addition, all thin
spots in the sod should be re-
seeded each year with a liberal
quantity of good grass seed.

Correspondence. Representa-
tive Norman j. Gould of New
York comes out strong for uni
versal military training, believ-
ing it one of the most, important
factors of the present crisis, and
one which should be adopted as a
permanent national policy. "The
point made by several opponents
of preparedness, that this coun,
try and its people might develop
into a militaristic nation, is too
absurd to be seriously consider
ed," declares Mr.. Gould. ''as we
have built our laws and institu-
tions on the foundations prepared
by the forefathers, whom we re-
we're, and our long and glorious
record has developed no trace of
a desire for conquest" Mr..
Gould recently offered a resolu-
tion in Congress providing for a
bounty of $5, 900 to the first crew
