Mr.. Editor: No wonder the expenses
of the milkmen are enormous. Taka
the cost of delivery. There are no
less than six rfliIkmen pass my house
between six a. m. and noon every day.
1t would seem as though one would be
sufficient. Look at the waste of time
and energy. also gasoline in some
cases. in following each other around.
Why don't the niillSmen organize a
system to have the milk delivered by
someone not farmer. 1t would seem
as though a squad of boys could carry
IN that end of the business with sue
cess under the right business man.
That would leave the farmer where
he should be on the farm and all the
morning to raise the grain which he
now pays such fancy prices for. There
is one farmer who only charges six
cents a quart at his farm. That would
make the cost of delivery six cents
a quart since May /. And the con-
sumner has to pay.

The Penalty Of Poverty.

Mr.. Editor: 1t is an old statement
that "the rich are getting richer,'' and
an attempt is some times made to
weaken the force of it by the come
back that the poor are not getting
any poorer when wages now paid are
contrasted with wages paid a few
years ago. The worker who has had
the sense to cooperate with his asso-
ciateS is better oft oInpaFed with his
predecessor; but how could it be 9th
erwise? The other who has not had
the opportunity, or did not take it to
join forces with his kind is not so well
off and how could it be otherwise :?
There are very few, if any, who would
have the courage to say that the work
men of today should live as the work
men of a hundred years ago did. for
the better offs" are living in greater
luxury than the potentates of one hun
dred years ago ever dreamed in their
most Voluptuous moments. Invention,
and its first assistant, good workman

who have the money to enjoy every
luxury under the sun. large en-
ployer of labor remarked if he had a
boy he would want him to work
twelve to fifteen hours a day, and he
strengthened his assertion by saying
that he did that very thing himself

Unable for his care and comfort, we
might be quite ready to let him sac
rifice himself on some such an altar
that the welfare of his company might

large number of boys cannot very
well subscribe to the long day idea
for if he does he will have a lot of

THE WAR PRIMER

GAIA was a prey TO Assyrians Baby

Subsequently a new GAIA, some dis

the latter's death it became a part OF

sETHMkNN- HoELWEG'S PEACE
SPEECH.

Even though it is understood thai
there is little likelihood of the state
1nent. which Bethmann- Hollweg was
to make before the reichstag today in
regard to peace but which has beer
postponed to another occasion
amounting to anything, there can
not help being a widespread in
terest therein. It is, of course. APP
preciated that such an announcement
will be for German consumption but
in view of the situation which is said
to exist in that country, the demand
among a certain element at least for
improved conditions and the clamor
for neace which is from time to time
being voiced in Austria Hun gary up
on which Germany has placed and is
placing great reliance, there cannot
help being attached some Importance
to the forthcoming declaration.
1t will be interesting to note how
far Bethmann- HollWeg thinks Ger
MANY should go. It remains to be seen
whether there will be a specific state
n1ent of what Germany would insist
upon in the discussion OF peace ana
there will be an opportunity Of getting
some idea from the manner in which
1t is received in the reichstag as to
how extensively It represents the feel
ing Of that country.
1t is known of course that cold, hard
facts are fighting Germany as well as
the allied nations. 1t is Known that
the autocracy has been hit hard by
the course of events in Europe and
that it sees the handwriting on the
wall. 1t is appreciated that Germany
understands the meaning of the i'm
portant advances which have been and
are being made by the British and
French on the western front and by
the British and Russians in Turkey
and it is readily understood what adj
vanta ges would accrue from a peace
at this time rather than
later vixen conditions are even less
favorable At the same time it is not
forgotten that this country has made
the statement that no further nego-
tiations can be carried on with the
present Imperial German government
and none of the nations is willing to
stop short of the crushing of Prussian-
SIN. Nevertheless there will be at
least much interest in what Beth
mann Hollweg has to say in regard
10 peace when he speaks.

SEEING AND USING THE GERMAN
SHIPS.

It cannot help being felt that the
unanimous action which was taken by
the senate the other day in passin 3
the bill giving authority to the presi-
dent to take over and put into service
at once the German vessels which are
located in the harbors of this country
amounting to something over 500, 600
tons. was the proper thing to do. There
is little question but what the presi-
dent under the authority which he
already possesses could have done this
without getting additional authority
from congress, but such simply over
comes all doubt in regard to the mat
ter
Even during the time before this
country declared itself in a state of
war with Germany it would have
been possible for it to have taken over
these ships and to have arranged with
Germany for compensation therefor.
and now it is possible TO do the same
thing. But it can be readily appre
ciated that 1t would be unwise to de-
lay action in the matter at the pres
er1t time. The ships are needed. They
will be of as great value to the coun-
try now as at any period in the fu-
ture and the thing to do is to put
them into use and make whatever ar
rangement there IS to be made, if any,
with Germany in the future. The con-
sider2tion OF that phase of the matter
can wait. We cannot afford to wait
in providing ourselves with all the
available shipping, particularly when
Germany has given notice that it will
sink American ships encountered in
the barred zone without warning and
Is already doing as it has said it
would.
It is therefore important that the
lower house of congress should follow
in the footsteps of the senate That
is the Iogical course. The upper house
has set the pace; it has taken into
consideration the nations interests
and no more time should be occupied
in arriving at the same unanimous
decision in the house than was done In

TINE TO CLEAN UP.

This is the season of the year when
many of the cities, which have come
TO recognize the merits of the under
taking and are giving it deserved at
tention each year, are starting their
spring clean up movements or getting
ready to do so. 1t is an effort which
goes hand in hand with the house
cleaning work and certainly there
should be as deep an interest in hav-
ing the property surrounding the
dwelling attractive and sanitary as
there is to get the household IN spicT5
and span shape.
The clean UP movement contributes
materially to the general improve
n1ent of a city If every householder
could be interested to do his part and
to keep his yard, adjoining vacant lot
or alley way free from rubbish and
debris throughout the year there
would be a tremendous impetus given
70 the city beautiful idea, but it is en-
tireIy possible to have the home beau
tiful through individual effort even
though it is next to impossible to
move some people to the recognition
OF the importance Of making their
contribution to the effort which would
include the whole town.
There is the value of the example
set by those who maintain their in
terest in the clean up movement
which cannot be overlooked. They
may not require any concerted action
upon the part of the whole comnlu-
nifty in order to keep their places neat
and attractive. but the very fact that
they do it without the urging of a
COMMITTEES or organization furnishes
an Inspiration for others to go and
do likewise. This year there is
Freater Interest developed in the
planting Of gardens than ever before
and that very fact ought to stimulate
those who do not have place for SUCH
ana cannot get it, to put in little
effort cleaning up and improving their
surroundings In most Instances it
requires but little time and It pays
well both IN appearance and from a
health standpoint.

HOME GARDENS
Carrots.

The advantage of deep spading and
thorough advance preparation of the
soil becomes apparent in the carrot
bed, says today's garden lesson sup
piled by the National Emergency Food
Garden Commission, of Washington,
which is cooperating with this paper
to urge the planting of gardens to
safeguard against a food shortage this
year in Norwich.
The carrot root, which Is the part
eaten, tries to grow straight down in
to the soil. II it meets stiff, packed
subsoil a few inches down IL cannot
penetrate It, and the root will either
split or become otherwise missf1apen
and snarled. Soil that has been work
ed, however, enables the carrot to
grow shapely.
The carrot is an early crop and
easily grown after 1t gets started But
the carrot seeds are small and the
young plants are weak so the seeds
should not be planted deeply. half

keep d, dirt crust from forming over
the seeds after they are planted, SO
it becomes desirable TO mix few rad

Last Years Nests-New Tenants for Old Bird Houses-An
Arian Army in Orange and Gold-Bold Raid the
Ground Birds Enemy-A Foreword on the Arrivals

i make a large allowances for orioles
nesting in orchards. gardens and fields
out OF sight of the highways. by dead
| reckoning we would begin to realize
| what a great army in Baltimore colors
make war on the caterpillars which
would otherwise sweep our orchards
| out of existence.
The ground birds on our two farms
| have suffered heavily for several years
| from black snakes that clean up the
eggs and young in every nest. For
| for the present. Mr.. Luther Rawson
was lucky enough to find the winter
quarters of the pests in an ancient
overgrown cellar-hoie to which there
was but one hole between two stones
for exit and entrance On sunny days
in mid April the snakes would poke
one or two heads out at time for
warmth. Taking advantage of this
habit, Mr.. Rawson would steal up eau
tiously to the hole, grab sHake by
the neck, drag it out, and kill it..
Next work: but by going over to
the den. three or four times a day
Rawson killed over fifty of the black
cOnatriVtors all of good size with q
few old whoppers- The carca sses
were at first nailed up on the front
of the house, but now lie in a horrid
heap on the lawn. Think of it! A
cart-load of snakes: over two hundred
and fifty feet of those cunning bird
and egg-eaters on the best breeding
ground on the form. Now song,
larks, bobolinks, and chewinks can
again safely breed on our twin hill
sides. What else but these crawling
terrors cleaned up all our nighthawks
and nearly all our whippoorwifs.
The past winter has been a dull
