HOW CAN GERMANY PAY?

VlgllSrtes,
 As we read Of the deliberate devas- tatien of towns and destruction of per- sonai property in France by retreating Germans human nature tevelts and the desire to wreak equivalent ven geance upon the Germans when OUT turn eomes-as we are sure it will rises in every mans mind as a sense of justice
 Then our centuries of civilization as sert themselves and we realize tkat it is not possible for the allies to do any thing to German homes and villages that is equivalent to what the Huns have done to us.
 How can Germany pay?
 Here's a way:
 Assuming that we bring the war lords to their knees, we should de- maud that German labor transport trees from Germany and plant them in France until every tree has been restored.
 Demand that German buildings of appropriate character be torn down and their stones and plumbing and their contents be transported to France until every house and every household in France has been re- stored.
 hdh6 1SFiHdH ldboT pefiOFH tHlS until it is completed with provision only for the essential food, lodging and clothing.
 Tn this way the destruction the Hun has performed will be visited upon him without further economic loss and the lesson will be taught in every German village from which the trees ant l houses are selected for deportation 1 Any indennities for damage to hu- man life, such as are ordinarily com puted at the end of war, should bt entirely independent of this physiea reconstruction of Hun damage. This would teach the real lesson il the right way to the people of Ger 1 many.

Greenwich, Conn, Sept. 1S.-Nelson Biggar, who is in the hospital with a fractured skull and under bonds of S1,0G0, growing out of an automobile collision in which Alfred Cucuel was killed three weeks ago, was held criminally responsible by Coroner Phelan today Patrick Mcbride who was driving the car Of ]. E. Coffin, a wealthy resident, was exonerated.
 The coroner exonerated Benjamin Porter, who was driving q car for Coulter Huyler when it eellided with the car of Alex Ross Riddle. and in which naishap Harry Lipmann was killed. The coroner found TO criminal negligence On Perter's part, but thought he used poor judgment In court Judge Mead dismissed the com plaint against Porter.
 In court Philip SchAne of Bridge port, charged with driving reclllessiy was defended by E. J. Swates ef ! Philadelphia A fine of s25 and costs was given and Swates had an appeal taken and offered $160 in Liberty bonds as surety. but Judge Mead said these bonds were all right but they did not go in his court as surety. The fine was paid. Schnee admitted driy- ing at excessive speed.

they that it was possible almost to cross the street with ones eyes shut. This was not the case in Norwich alone but the same report comes from every city and community, The pleas ure riders did something else than in- dulge in their customary trip through the country by motor car. The horse was brought into use. people went afoot and not few got out the bicy- cle or took the trolleys to reach their destination.
 Altogether it was most commend able response to the request to save this important fuel and i. makes it evident that if there is as much at tention giving to the saving of gaso- lene on week days that there will be no need of a mandatory order being issued. The fact that the people are impressed with the necessity of sav- iEg makes it evident that they are going to do what is required of them and it is a most commendable and pa triotic attitude.

got one of those-a veiie 9 she in quired. 1t would be cooier-oniy this isn't a hot summer, and it may be very cold at the lake. And, of course I have plenty of afternoon things and will only wear these in the mornings. But let's go down in the basement a friend of mine got some lovely things in the basement. No, of course I like those 1 just got, but 1 might see something I like better
 We went to the basement and Hen rietta fell in love with a pink plaid and it, too was sent home. I thought my toll was over when we emerged, but not so. Nellie, she gasped, come on over to Smiths and see those two ginghams I sent back. I just want you to see them-maybe you'll like them better than any of these. l was crazy about them myself
 T was dragged to Smiths and one of the dresses was still there and Hen rietta regretted it so violently that she ; ordered it sent again.
 Once on the street we passed Jones' and in their windows was a gorgeous exhibit efsginghams. Accordingly. one | love of a dress was sent out from i Jones'
 Then she tried to make me help her select shoes. but drew the line. Hen i rietta I told her, you are my sister and I love you, but there are limits. I am a nervous woman and l cannot ! stand seeing shoe clerks carried off the l field of battle fainting and suffering. while the rest of the force has to stay till midnight putting back on the shelves the stock which is piled up in windroWs about your chair. Besides, I'm sure you don't need shoes.
 Henrietta said no, she really didn't {, but they were having sales now and il
 seemed wicked not to take advantage of them. Besides she had a pair sent
 out the other day, but she guessed she'd have to send them back. They
 were B Width and she never wore anything but As. Why. she ordered them sent because they didn't have ar A width in that shee-and what woule do about it?
 Wear B's' I shouted at her ant then reminded her of her progeny lei loose in the playroom. This recalled
 to her the fact she had left a package
 somewhere in our travels-and with (
 loud shiek of despair I fled, abandon
 ing Herietta to her fate.
 And I am morally certain that Hen
 rietta sends every last one of thost

ENDING eRIDaEPoRr's STRIKE.

It is certainly 10 be hoped that this week witnesses the end of the strike by the munition workers of Bridge Bort. IL is the only thing which those Gen can do and retain thoir self re- s0ect but while they are returning to york they should lose no time in get rng rid Of the leadership which has made it possible for such a state of affairs to exist there. They have fol- Owed an influence which is not cnly detrimental 10 them but to the coun- try and the quicker they are de- hounced by public dismissal the Gnicker the strikers can get back into good standing among their fellow citi- ans and workers.
 sIn returning to their machines and benches. after holding up war work for a period which would have been teo long had it covered but 24 hours, 10 is most unfortunate that they con- sidered it necessary to wait until they were told by the president that their r6urse was disloyal and dishonorable and being threatened with being made subject to the draft.
 When they agreed to abide by the decision of the war labor board they took upon themselves an obligation which should have been respected What was sought was . fair settle ment of the question at issue. What they apparently looked for was an un- fair settlement and when they did not get a decision which was in every particular satisfactory to their selfish demands they showed that their prom lse amounted to no more than a scraI 3f paper. l. was a disgraceful exhi- sition and it is to be sincerely hoped

All my life," suddenly said the woman who was supposed to be copy ing the recipe for rice mullins, T have suffered in public opinion because my disposition was not as sweet and love ly as that of my sister Henrietta-but, believe me, I'd rather have my dis position than Henrietta's state of mind
 Since she was years old and re- quested to choose between a stick of gum and stick of candy to this identical day, when she is married and has a family, Henrietta has lived in a perpetual state of mental turmoil, trying to make up her mind, and when she gets tired of the job she thrusts it upon me and dares me to do my worst.
 Why, the neighbors have got per feotly used to constant stream of de- livery boys and a crush of delivery wagons before Henriettas house, bringing things she thinks she wants and taking them away because she has decided she doesn't want lem. And then usually she tears frantieally down to the stores three days after she has returned goods to see whether those identical articles are still in stock and she wrenches the whole place from it's foundations making the nn-
 
 "She called the manager of one store away from directors, meeting to in- sist that he have somebody find 6 cer- tain tablecloth in a. rose pattern that matched her best dinner napkins-and he is a most awe inspiring manager too, with Whiskers and a deep bass voice, but that was nothing in Henri etta's young life on the truth of a purchase.
 T was unlucky enough to meet Henrietta the other day just as I was rounding a corner to join friend al ice cream soda. My sister grabbed ms frantieally as best she might when hel two hands were occupied with re. straining her two young hopefuls.
 "'Oh, Nellie gasped Henrietta a her usual speed of 300 words minute do come with me to help me pick ou some gingham dresses!

BETTER WHEAT,

Luther Burbank by his accomplish ments in his horticultural and agri- cultural efforts has already made a name for himself which will be car red down through the centuries, but in all that he has done it seems prob able that nothing will prove of greater importance to the nation in the way of meeting the demands for foodstuffs than the successful experiments which he has made in connection with the production of better wheat
 After a long period of eXperimenta ton, which has required money as well as patience he has come forward v<th the announcement that the wheat crop of this country can be in creased by millions of bushels with out any increase in labor or fertilizer It is perfectly evident that there is enough available land in this country where wheat can be grown to bring about millions of more bushels than are being raised each year. but there is the great problem of labor and fer tilizer Burbank started out to solve the problem and this he believes he HaS hOHC ny plOuuClli5 DStleI wheat through the use of better seed He has proved his contention that it was seed and not better soil or culture that was needed. and that being the case it should mean that the wheat l Iaisers of the country should be quick 10 adopt his suggestion. Other coun- | tries raise better wheat than we dc and if it is simply a matter of seed
 which is pretty clearly shown by the
 fact that one of the Burbank varie- i ties yields about twice as much as the
 ordinary kind, all haste should be | made to take advantage of it. That i Is the ldnd3of intensive farming that
