STORIES OF THE WAR
H.Ipina Mutilat.d Soldiers.

What is called a Motor Culture school is beginning at Chapelle-Safnt- Luc, just outside of Troyes. It inau- gurates new era in French agricul- ture. On the movement depends. per haps, the solution of a grave food crisis that France certainly has before her.
 Fifty army nurses of the older classes are there, teaching maimed soldiers to run automobile blows and other traction implements of every sort. In four crews, the pupils in turn drive the tractors in the field learn repair work at the forge and the prin- ciple of the motor in a series Of lec- turee. As soon as they are able to re- pair a broken part as well as drive motor efficiently, they are placed at the disposal of the mechanical culti- vating conmission" and assigned to one of the farming centers that has ben provided with motor implements for the common use of the farmers of that neighborhood.
 This is only one of a number of sim liar schools in France At Ondes. Ber- deaux. Grenoble. Grignon and Noisy le Grand also maimed farmers and cent. of the total of soldiers who have suffered amputation are being re- trained for the new method of farm ing.
 The purpose is to prepare the mu- tilated soldiers to take up their old profession. if possible. or another If physical disability prevents
 The experience of the school at Cha belle -Saint-Llue tends to show that the use of tools appropriate to work that interests the patient is far more effective in relieving and curing ankyiosfs due to wounds than any of the special mechanical appliances

nection with stafe railroad ana public service commissions to the efkect that out of 185 members Of such ccn1n1is- sions in 46 states it Is found that only ten eyer had any practical railroad ex- perience, while one-ha1f of the total number are lawyers. which indicates to the Gazette that as lawyers are more. active in politics than any other profession or class. political consfdera- tons govern the selection of men for these commissions to large extent
 Another point brought out is that in a review of the changes In the conn missions during the last eight years it Is found that the proportion Of law yers has largely increased. while that Of men with railroad experiences has decreaaed. While this review con- ciudes that there has been an iffa- provement in the personnel of these commissions, there Is stin a serious shortcoming from the fact that selec- tions are made without regard to qualifications and because of 1exisla- tive action in passing arbitrary laws that fn many cases are not favored by the commissions and circumscrfbe their policies Of regulation
 Whenever or wherever there Is a tendency to f1l1 such commissions for political reasons. or without regard for the ability of the men named to handle them. the real purpose of their creation fs being sidetracl<ed. aua1f- f1cation is a matter which ought not to be overlooked when any public of- flee is concerned.

RETREAT MAY BECOME A aouT.

Every day there is mar1sed prog ress being made by the allied forces In driving back their adyersarfcs along the western front. l. fs apparently only a matter Of a brief time before the cities of Lens and St. Quentin viii fail before the tremendous pressure which the British and French are sx- ertfng.
 In the case of the former city the evacuation thereof by the civil popu- latfon and the progress to fts out skirts by the Haf9 forces make 1t evident that the Germans have begun their retreat and the ferretlng out and disposal of the machine gun redoubts is ali that remains before that section falls into the hands of the British. Tine capture of Lens will be a most valuable acquisition. It fs one Of the localities which it was believed could not be taken, and where the Germans will cndeavor to do. aiI the damage that fs possible before they give ft up, but fpasmucsl as ft is a rich coal mining section, t can be appreciated that it's fall will be the cause for gen. eraI eIation in France, since that country is now depending to a great extent upon Great Britain for its sup ply of such fuel and a large amount of shipping is required to transport 1t.
 The advance in that region is also aiding in the fight for St. Quentin for with the British astride the Hinden- burg line pushing east and south, the French are being materially aided in their struggle for the city to theesotith about which their troops and artillery have been thrown and from which the Germans are evidently retiring if the fires which are reported from there can be taken as evidence. Both these efforts with the advance of the Bel gians at Dixmude make it evident that the Germans must soon take up a new line, and if the present one has not been completed there is little req son to believe that they have had an opportunity to properly prepare a new one. The strategic retreat therefore may soon become a rout. 0

 | Tn 1914 the publishers used about 5,OOO tons of news print every day. Their present use has reached e,Og0 tons a day and the demand appears to be increasing at the rate of 10 per cent, a year. materially faster than the ir- crease in population, To supply the presses with news print requires aEi = rlualIy about 100000 cords 0f pulp wood. To meet requirements for mag azine and book paper, stationery and business papers Of ali forms, wrapping papers, wall papers, cardboard fibre board and the like, 100000 cords more of pulp wood are consumed an- nuaIIy. Production barely keeps pace with this consumption. For instance, the estimated demand for news print for the first six months of 1917 Is ss8, ,000 tons. Against this is placed an estimated supply of 930.000 tons. As if this close balance was not peril enough. there Is the added fact that the United States depends upon Cam ada for third of its news-print pa per- either in the form of finished pro- duct or raw materiaf--New Britain Record.

STOP THE WASTE.

There can be no question but what millions upon millions of dollars could be saved every year if there was the proper effort put forward to overcome waste. There is of course a certain amount which must be classed as ir- retreivable waste. and there is still more from which there might be ob- tained a certain amount of value if properly used. but because we have been accustomed to plenty the people of this country have gotten into the habit Of throwing away odds and ends. left overs and scraps without any regard whatever to the uses to which they might be put. This applies to house. holds as well as industries. It ap- plies to individuals as well as large organizations.
 In this connection the secretary of agriculture estimates that there is wasted in food several hundred mil lions of dollars each year. amounting as he figures it to about seven dollars for each man. woman and child in the country. and to a great degree this is preventable. It has not been stopped in the past because the effort was eon- sidered greater than the result. The habit of waste has been cultivated in- stead of fought with the result that there are a great many who know no better because they have failed to stop and consider just what they are doing.
 But with the country in war. and brought to the realization of the fact that it must put forward every ener- gy in order to produce such food supply as it needs for itself and at the same time take care of those who are looking to it for assistance. it is high time that along with the in creased production there should be more attention paid to the elimination of this waste. A little thoughtful att tention given to this matter ought to accomplish appreeiable results We must make the full and best use of what we have

What a pity that the same amount of time and energy and perseverance could not be used for the suffrage movement instead of against 1t. Truly the persistence of the antis is worthy of a better cause. In closing would appeal once more to those who want the ballot but are doing nothing to make their position known. Speak out and do not think your speaking will detract in the least from your womanliness. Quite the re- verse.

HOME GARDENS
Garden Planting.

Garden seed must be planted not only at the right time but at the right depth. says a bulletin from the na- tionai emergency food garden comrnis- sion of Washington. which is cooper ating with this paper in urging food garden planting to cut the cost of living.
 Plant seeds shallow. unless special rule is to plsnt to a depth equal to dve times the width of the seed.
 Depth of planting also depends somewhat upon the kind of soil. If It is heavy clay or soil that is continu- ally moist. the planting should be shsllewer than in sandy or dry soil. seeds of the same Kind In the same roy at the same depth. This gives uniformity of growth.
 Unless the soil Is wet. the beds should be firmed down on top before the rows are marked of. Fine raking win do this. especially if you finish the job by smoothing khs surface with the back of the rake When seeds ase in the soil should be frnned over them by pressing down the row with q hard.

LETTERS TO THE fOIToa
The New $500 City Court oMe.r.


 Mfr. Editor: The bfiI increasing the number of officers for our city court passed the senate Friday. suppose our senator was present, but as far as the daily press indicates, he had nothing to say against it's passage He is generally quite taikatiye, but evil dently on this occasion. when the tax payers of Norwich, whom he is sup with a new city court officer, at an expense of $500 per annurh he Is as silent as the grave. Tax payers will also ask where our representative, Al. was passed upon by his own commit tee. I am credfbiy informed, ins.ead q of looking out for the interest of the tax payers he not only did not ask unnecessary, but he was in fact se- cretly and earnestly asking his asso- ciates to report the bill favorabiy: In short he, and the senator got Mir. bill, (and Norwich has reason to re- member this same man, Back, on &C., count of the interest he took in the matter of division of the town of Nor wich); well-all we have to say about these three gentlemen is that the vot- CTS of Norwich will remember them when they are up for office the next time. Each and every one of them will run again if their party will tol-
 This bill is needed about as much as cat needs two tails. How differ ent from the old way of running the court: formerly the udge had to pay the deputy judge out of his own sal- ary and now he Is paid $500 by the city. The clerk formerly received and was satisfied with the salary of $500 less than that now received by Mir. Bailey. Now $500 more Is called for an assistant attorney. So it is easy to figure how much more the city court will cost than formerly, to wit: at least $e00. Do not forget all the expenses of the city court are paid withstanding this fact. Representative Bailey. who is responsible for the passage of this bill and originated the same. is paid by the city Of Norwich not a resident of the city at all. He receives additional fees also for cop ies sent up to the higher courts-cer- tainly a pretty good stipend for a young attorney for the work that is done. Why should he hold this very remunaratfve position at all? Why not place it with resident. or better W The ~ particular leu mix in @ this cocoa nut is this: Representative Bailey will try to secure the nomination the next state election as senator from this district and if elected he has it now of the city court win be received by him in full while he is in the legisla- ture drawing pay as a member of the general assembly. and this new offi- Ger who Is to be paid $500 per year by the city win be doing his work with no cost to him. This is the reason why he and Judge Barnes secured the passage of this bill.
 There is much more to be said about this and some other things which will interest tax payers and voeers, but this is enough for the present.

Many a mechanic who dreamed of country life before the war is Timber ing up his muscles in learning to handle farm implements; on the other hand, many a farmer who had lost in- terest fin his calling is losing the stiff- ness of his joints by the manipulation of the tools of the cabinet maker and mechanic.
 Basket making is a fayorite trade adopted here on the edge of the Cham pagne wine country where the great demand for champagne baskets keeps war apprentices busy. Locksmiths, tinsmiths, horseshoers, blacksmtths and shoemakers also are turned out by these establishments.
 The maimed drivers of motor farm machines graduated here will engage in a contest at Grignon in April, for which the government has provided $50, 0,O0O francs in prizes for motor blowing, narrowing, etc. Other prize contests will be arranged in the vii cinity of the other. schools of this sort to encourage and help the maimed pupils.
