 "The Vorwaerts (of Ber1in) saying that the German socialists would support the proposed new interna- tional peace conference, warmly and energetically as they did the unsuc- cessful Stockholm conference de- clares the new conference will not be dependent on the issuance of pass ports by the Entente powers. The conference, 1t adds, held only for international socialists, cannot allow the governments of states, which are only apparently democratic. to de- prive them of the right to influence the peace question.

ST. EUPHRASIA

Euphasia was the daughter of pi- ous and noble parents. After the death of her father his widow went with her daughter to Egypt, where she possessed very large estate. Their abode was near a monastery. At seven years of age Euphrasia begged her mother for permission to become a nun. To this her mother readily as- scented. Euphrasia had not long been in the monastery when her mother died. The news of her death was con- veyed to the Emperor Theodosius, who sent for Euphrasia, having prom ised her in marriage to a favorite young senator. But the young wom- an wrote the emperor refusing the alliance, and requesting that her es- tates should be divided among the poor, and all her slaves set at liberty. The emperor executed her desires shortly before his death in 395. It is said of Euphrasia that she warded off temptation by heavy labors, such as carrying great stones from one place to another. It is in the perfor- nance of this labor that she is usually portrayed. Legend asserts that, once when she was assailed by the devil she carried on this work for thirty days. She is said to have been "fa- vored" with "miracles'' both before and after her death. She was only thirty years old when she died, in the year 40.

SCOv|LLE SAYS REPORTS WERE
 EXAGGERATED

The following communication has been received by the Farmer from Robert Scoville, Federal Food admii1- istrator of Connecticut, in regard to certain reports concerning the de- struction of food and urging every possible means of conservation of all comm odities:
 Many newspapers have recently published reports of the alleged de- struction of food at railway termin- als and warehouses. These reports have been carefully investigated by
 the United States Food Administra-
 tion, the Department of Agriculture,
 and, in most instances, it has been
 found that such reports have been
 greatly exaggerated and have ema9-
 ated chiefly from hysterical people in
 an imaginative frame of mind. You
 will readily understand that the pub | Hcation of such reports tends to cre-
 ate unrest and greatly handicaps our work of conservation which is so vii tally necessary at this time. May I not ask your cooperation in Investigating any such reports that are brought to your attention and ex-
 press the hope that nsubstantiated d
 rumors of this kind will not find a place in your paper! We are, or course, anxious that the truth in re- gard to this matter as well as actual hoarding or speculation should at all | times be published.
 I must say that I do not think | the papers of our state have published ! much of this class of reports and this | letter should be considered as a eau | tion which I have every confidence will be observed.
 take this occasion to express my | renewed appreciation of the splendid l cooperation which we are receiving from the press of Connecticut. ROBERT SCOVILLE.
