England. where nature has provided every natural advantage and very few disadvantages, it seems reasonable to think cattle raising should prove a profitable business to those who have experience and an understanding of the requirements Thousands of acres of land are growing brush. which should be grazing thousands of sheep instead.
 In the west, where water and good grazing land is scarce, farmers have and are supplying the majority of the beef we eat. They must resort to irri- gatlon in supplying sufficient water to their lands, and even then, during the warmest months of summer, the cattle must be herded far into the mountains to secure sufficient fodder. In the opinion of J. M. WhiUtlesey, cattle commissioner, there are thousands of acres here in Connecticut, which at the present are producing nothing, and which are admirably adapted to raising beef cattle.
 The commissioner is promoting this beef cattle plan, and should be given every encouragement to see it through. Farm bureaus and farmers in general, who have knowledge of these matters should cooperate in every possible way, to put Connecticut and Litchfield county especially, on the map, as 8 cattle and sheep raising center of this part of New England.

He Wins Who Morks.

And still people talk about born sing CTS, artists, inventors and mechanics. The theory is illogical, and the truth of it has never been demonstrated. It is true that there are a few individ- uals who are born into the world with an unusual amount of latent ability. and people call them talensed. The difference between the words talent and latent is merely a variation in the location of the letters. The meaning of the two words is almost identical. The possession of talent means the possession of some latent quality which requires development for perfect ex- pression. A freak is not a genius be- cause, although usually lacking in the consciousness of power, he feels no need for growth, and even the power that he possesses gradually diminishes instead of expanding. The man who works for years and finally reaches the goal of his dreams always smiles when he hears some one speak of a born genius.-Los Angeles Times.

ouRANsWER TO KAISERIsM.

The second Liberty Loan campaign is over and with the total reaching we'll above the maximum amount of $5,000, 900, 900 asked for by Secretary McAdoo, every subscriber may we'll view with satisfaction and pardonable pride, the work of nation working in unison. It is our answer, the answer of every man and woman in this great free country, whether they are native or foreign born, to the murderous, in. human campaign launched by the kaiser and his associates.
 Our men in France are in the trenches aud have made their presence felt in the section which they are hold ing. At the many cantonmonts in various sections of the country, our boys are itching to get across the water and show the Huns that their chal- lenge has been accepted. We who can. not fight have done our bit. for the present at least, by lending sums of money to our government.
 Many subscribers to the bonds have done so purely from the standpoint of patriotism. while some have realized that it was good investment. All of us, perhaps, wonder at times where all this money goes and how the govern. ment will dispose of it. At the rate the government is now spending money, what seems to be fabulous sum, will melt before our eyes.
 For the B working days of October, the expenses of the government were over one billion dollars. During the past six months, over $64O, 900, 900 was set aside for the purpose of creating the greatest flying squadrons in the world. Camps and barracks have cost $150, 900, 900, more than was spent on the Panama canal in three years. Then the men at camp must eat; the food allowance of fifty cents day for over 500,00 men in the national army alone, is no small item. The building of hundreds of ships, involving mill- ions, and the loans made to our allies, hotaling $3, 1000, ,0C0 0,O0O, show only too we'll that what seems to us like an in. exhanstible sum, is in reality but a small part of what must be forthoom- ing. England and France have bor. rowed heavily from us, while our other allies have received various sums, but the part of the transaction which should interest us, is the fact that all of this money is being spent in Ameri. ca.
 Germany through her spies has cir culated reports that Americans were only half-heartedly preparing for war, that we had no courage for fighting and that we were so mercenary we would never consent to spending any large amount of money. The countries answer to these insults, is the second Liberty. Loan. ..It shows.the..will of the people. Eand..the.l lkaiser. .willlHetkknow and feelsthe1courage and power of this country.

N ature.

The best definition of nature Is per haps Mills in his "Three Essays on Religion" In that work Mill says, ''Na- ture is collective name for all facts, actual and possible, or a name for the mode, partly known to us and partly unknown, in which all things take place" Continuing, Mill says: "The nature of thing means its entire ca pacity of existing phenomena. As the nature of any given thing is the aggre- gate of its powers and properties, so Nature. in the abstract, is the aggre- gate of the powers and properties of all things"

FOOD CONSERVATION.

This week, devoted to the highly important campaign of food conserva tion, is nation wide event that is attracting considerable attention. The American people are hard to convince that it is absolutely necessary for every person to make great effort and eli. minate from each days menu of food. stuffs. some one thing that our allies need badly. / Due to the unequaled prosperity which the country at large has en- joyed, the nation has acquired habit of procuring the best of everything that money can buy, in such quanti- ties as to reach the height of extrava- gance. To feed those who are suffering for the want of proper nourishment, we must have surplus in this country, and to obtain that surplus, we must sacrifice a little of our bountiful sup ply each day. President Wilson strikes at the root of the matter and presents it very clearly, in the following:
 "The chef part of the burden of finding food supplies for the peoples associated with us in war 1alls for present upon the American people and the drain upon supplies on such scale necessarily affects the prices of our necessaries of life.
 "Our country, however, Is blest with an abundance of foodstuffs and if our people will economize in their use of food, providently confining themselves to the quantities required for the maintenance of health and strength; if they will eliminate waste; and If they will make use of those commodities of which we have a surplus and thus free for export 8 larger proportion of those required by the world now dependent upon us, we shall not only be able to ac- complish our obligations to them, but we shall obtain and establish reasonable prices at home To pro. , vide an adequate supply of food both for our own soldiers on the other side of the seas and for the civil population and the armies of the allies is one of our first and foremost obligation; for if we are to maintain their constancy in this struggle for the independence of all nations, we must first maintain their health and strength. The solution of our good problems, therefore is, dependent upon the individual effort of every man, woman and child. The great voluntary effort in this direction which has been initiated and organ. ized by the food administration under my direction offers an oppor- tunity of service in the war which is open to every individual and by which every individual may serve both his own people and the peoples of the world.
 I've cannot accomplish our objects in this great war without sacrifice and devotion and in no direction can that sacrifice and devotion be shown more than by each home and public eating place in the country pledging it's support to the food administra. tiop and complying with it's re- Quests'.

Giles as to the probable outcome in
the case of Charles Chick Evans

Evans has been engaged ny the
Chicago National baseball club to i'm
part his knowledge of the swing used
by golf players as il may be applied
for the Improvement of batting Presi-
dent Weeghman of the Chicago team
is of the opinion that his men can be
benefited by a course of instruction
under Evans.
1t is assumed that Evans is being
paid for this work and, in this event,
the claim is made that he is directly
violating both the letter and the spirit
of the associations ruling In the
event that he is receiving no salary
1t is pointed out that his statue as
an amateur still will be affected for
the reason that having his expenses
paid amounts TO the same thing as re-
ceiving remuneration.
In support of this, it is recalled
that when it was decided to hold the
