 Now will the author of the above kindly expiain2 Name few of the insects, weeds and grasses that the New England biddy is able to pick Iup between the beginning of winter and the, first of May?

Some fam | files are wastefHl, others would not waste enough in all winter to keep l one hen a week. besides, we are all supposed to be scod enough and loyal enough not to waste in these days. When the price of grain began to soar we were advised by some of the wise ones to substitute cheaper feeds for i corn.

Were it not for the struggle invoiv-
 ing the very life of France at this
 time the whole nation would be eK-

 with excitement over the progress of
 the trial of M. Joseph. Caiilaux, eex-
 premier of France. In the last week
 of July 1914 on the very eve of hos tilities the sensation of the hour in Paris was the trial of Mime. Caiilaux for shooting M. Calnette, editor of the Paris Figaro. Caillaux had been at that time Minister of France in the Cabinet of Nj. Dourlergue and there was no more powerful man in all France than he. Yet hisf career both political and matrimonial contained i much that was questionable and Fig arc in 8 series of daily articles had | for several months been making char ges and substantiating them with facts that would have instantly crushed a l less powerful man than he.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Mir. Editor: I noticed among edi-
 tcrial notes in your issue of March 9th
 the following: No one will complain
 about the sharp break in the price of
 GEES, as long as the shells hold to-
 gether,A No, and probably the con
 sumner will not complain about the
 high price of the grain that it takes
 to produce them as long as he does not have to foot the bills, also ouete
 from The Utica Saturday Globe of March 9th: Spare the Hen" It look ed like a hardship and like un~arrant- ed interference with personal liberty for the government to declare against killing hens until May. But consider
 this: Every laying hen sold from the farms before May 1 means a loss of
 about 30 eggs to the food supply of the nation. These eggs are valuable food, manufactured largely from in- sects, weeds and grass. garbage and waste. These eggs therefore are al most wholly net gain in human food.

ENCOURAGEMENT TO RUSSIA.

With the conditions which are pre- vailing in Russia today. it is problem atical as to what ths effect of the message Of President Wilson to the congress of seviees will be, but cer- tainly it was a timely and well di- rected communication. Faced with the nnomentous question of accepting the unjust peace which Germany is trying to force upon it. depriving it Of it's provinces and enslaving it for long term of years to come, while the central powers are at the same \, time scontfihuting their assistance to the internal troubles which are being experienced, it is certainly time when those who are backing the gov ernment' in that country should be given some idea as to what the atti tude of this country is.
 President Wilson did not undertake to telIthe congress what it should dc but he let it be known that the United States maintains a friendly attitude towards the Russian people in theil hour of greatest trouble and ever though it is impossible for it to rem der such direct and effective aid as ii would like to render, it nevertheless stands as determined as ever to avai itself of every opportunity to secure for Russia once more complete sover- { efgnty in her own affairs and full res toration to her great role in the life of Europe and the modern world"
 1t Is to be hoped that this will have some good effect in giving the Russian people the courage to stand firmly fel their rights instead of knucl5ling tt German autocracss and the straighten. ing out of the chaotic conditions whicl prevail there today.

rImHERLAND LOSSES BY FIRE.

The report of the forest service of the department of agriculture upon the losses which were sustained by fires on the national forest lands during the past year is of much importance inasmuch as it sets forth how much remains to be done in the way of pre- ventiofi. The losses sustained during 1917 mounted to6s1,S5s, ,s0eein timber, for tge and young growth, a loss which Ras. larger than for several years past and which entailed the additional ex- uenditu+e of s1 .121:45f by the govern nient in order to prevent them from doing much greater damage than they did. There were s62.o0O acres. of for est land burned over but while the conditions were about the same as seven years ago when many persons were burned to death and timber to the value of s25,0o0,oOo was destroyed the loss was materially cut down be- cause of the protective measures which were In force.

THE WISCONSIN, CONTEST.

That the decks are being cleared for an out and out fight between loyalty and disloyalty in the coming contest for the selection Of q candidate for the republican nominee for United States senator from the state of Wis censin is indicated by the action of ex Governor McGovern in withdraw ing from the. race in favor of Repre- sentative Lenroot to whom he has of fered his services: in the campaign.
 Wisconsin has been having a strug- gle to down La Fcllettisnl. Some progress has been made as is evi- denced by the rebuke which was ad- ministered by the state legislature but the light is not over.s La Toilette in ffuence has been at work to get a who would be of the La Toilette type in spite of the opposition which Ia Palette tactics have raised through out the state and nation. Aid was
 being contributed to this end by ths
 number of republican candidates iY the field and the former governor wisely decided to work for the pub lie interest by withdrawing from ths race and throwing his influence tt Ithe candidate whose Auaericanism i,
 beyond reproach as his record in con. grsss shows.
 This is a decidedly conmendabit
 move in view of the indictment Q Victor Berger and, the belief of tht Iex-governer that his supporters vii flock to the side. of the La Follett' icandidate, for by the reduction of the
 number of candidates the. division which would otherwise take plac i should result in greater unity and eer tainly Wisconsin cannot afford to pu

AID IN BEHALF OF PREVENTION

At this time when there is the greatest, need for coordination, when |every effort should 7be. put forth for the greatest good of the nation and when unfortunately there occasionally
 develops in one section of the coun- try or another a disposition. to ham per through labor troubles, it is of the utmost importance that both wage earners and employers from coast to Ilcoast and border to border should aun- derstand that the government through the department of labor and other al- Elied boards is doing a most impor- tant work for the benefit of industry everywhere. This refers not solely te the work of the United States employ ment service, but also the various
 boards of consolidation, the bureau soi
 statistics and similar bodies.

FACTS AND COMMENT

A determined effort is to be made during the next few months to rem der impossible such fuel shortage as WAS experienced the past winter: Not only will advantage be taken of reopened transportation lines, but a zoning system is now in operation un- der which the produce of each mine or group of mines is confined to a limited region. thereby saving unneces- ssary transportation. Attacking the problem also from the other side, plans
 are In the making for reducing the
 consumption of coal These include an effort to increase the use of wood
 to ten million cords saving thereby
 six million tons of coal. a consolida-
 tien of public utility plants when lo- cated so that this is possible, the use
 of natural ice in order to obyiate the necessity of running many refrigerat-
 ing plants, and the gansf-af prohibition
 of illuminated signs and unnecesSafy
 outdoor lighting. Dr. Garfield also has
 a scheme for reducing the number of trolley stops. It has been figured out that the power lost in starting load :
 ed car would suffice to run t block,
 and the elimination of half the stops
 besides very appreciably speeding UP
 the service will save annually a mil lion and a half tons of coaf. The Daylight Saving bill if it becomes a law will put us in line with other countries and save an enormous auan- tity of fuel at practically no expense The bill has already passed the Sen ate and is ready for action by the House Twelve countries in all fnclud- | ing England Francef Italy and Ger many have already adopted the scheme and none have been disapp pointed in it's results. f'sa;s

 even Sa9ugh these lines may not be necessary to it's needs Were it. not
 for this provision a number of small
 railways through no fault of their own
 might see all their traffic diverted else- where and find themselves financially ruined altho all the time they would be afording essential service to their immediate localities. The railroad bill further provides that sGoyernme control is to cease twenty -one months after the proclamation of peace, this being merely split the difference compromise between the periods set in the separate House and Senate bills as at first approved. Lastly the amended bill provides that the sepa- l rate States may not arbitrarily. in crease the taxes on railway property | within their borders thus precluding l the possibility that any State might 1 arrange to fill it's ewH treasury at the I expense of the Nation.
