"There is certain to be an immense
increase in the acreage of Sudan grass
in this section within the next few
years. We had paintings of this crop
in every county district in 1914, and
they all did we'll. The crop makes
good feed, and it will produce high
yields with very limited rainfall 1t
will do much in the coming years to
add wealth to the drier sections in tia
western part of the United States"
Mr.. Gould's opinion is the same as
that of the other demonstrating
agents in Kansas. There is more in
terest among the farmers in Sudan
grass than in any other crop.
Sudan grass was imported into this
country from Africa, and was grown
in small way in an experiment sta.
tion in Texas. 1t produced good re-
suits in these station trials from the
start but of course the agents of the
United States department of agricul-
ture did not nut the seed out to the
farmers until they were sure of their
results. The seed was quite gener,
ally distribut, over the country last
season.
Although this crop is valuable sub
stitute for the Bermuda grasses, and
should be introduced wherever farm
'ers find their soil too dry for the lat
ter, one of its characteristics should
be well borne in mind before planting.
This is the fact lat once given q
start, 1t spreads with great rapidity.
Each spear of grass possesses net
work of tough, fibrous roots, which
spread over radius of foot. Each FL
t.r is segmented, and from each seq
ment another blade of grass may
spring up. In the Southern states
Johnson grass, which. is similar to
Sudan grass, has proved itself the
most formidable pest with which cot
ton growers have to contend. Because
of the thick root network, 1t is next
to impossible to stop once it has go'
into a field.

RAILROAD MEN PREDICT GOV
EMINENT CONTROL
PERMANENT.

Definite steps toward National uni
fication of railroads and improve
ment of congested conditions were
taken Saturday by Director General
McAdoo in the appointment of a tenn
porary staff and the issuing of his
first formal order directing absolute
pooling of all traffic, common utiliza-
ton of terminals, rolling stock and
other facilities, hauling of freight
by the shortest routes, and retention
of all present officers and employees.
Alfred H. Smith, president of the
New York Central, was named tenn
porary special assistant to supervise
ritory east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio rivers, where con-
gestion is greatest.
Walker D. Hines, of New York, a
railroad lawyer and for many years
a>special student Of government
operation, was appointed assistant
director general pending the forma-
ton of a permanent staff.
While the director general was
comforting with a number of rail-
road heads, Interstate Commerce
Commissioners and members of Con-
gress, and planning immediate &C
ton to remedy faults Of transpOrta-
ton, it became known that the de-
mands of the railway brotherhOods
for 40 per cent. wage increase had
been denied by the railroads and that
consequently, the labor men had de-
cided to postpone for probably sixty
days the presentation Of their case
to the government. 1t was thought
probable that President Wilson
would take up the labor situation in
his Adde'S to Congress next Thurs
day or Friday.
The railroad chiefs freely predict
that the advantages of the great
on-competitive system now being
developed would soon become SO ap-
parent that the country never would
revert to the old plan of private con-
troll. They even went SO far as tc
predict very definitely that govern
ment ownership as we'll as control
| would be a development of only q
few years.

GAS SHORTAGE MAY CAUSE AP.
PEAL TO GOVERNMENT

The National Fuel Administration
at Washington may be appealed to
bv Paris, Lexington and other Cen
trail Kentucky towns as result of
the inadequate supply furnished by
the Central Kentucky National Gas
Company, unless better service is as
sured local consumers.
Under the existing contract that
the local Gas Company has with the
United Fuel Company of West Vir-
ginia, it is figured that the National
Fuel Administration by exercising
it's authority could order proper
equipment installed in the gas fields
and an adequate distribution of the
gas to those communities that de-
pend upon it for light and heat.
1t is pointed out that the National
Fuel Administration recently con-
templated having the natural gas
from the West Virginia fields di-
verted to feed the munition plants
in Pennsylvania, and that If this
could be done, either by taking over
the gas fields, or by supervising the
distribution of gas, that an order
of the National Fuel Administrator
could relieve the shortage of gas in
Central Kentucky and remove the
cause of so much deprivation and
suffering among the people of this
State.
At any rate, it is believed here
that this move should be resorted to
at once, since the local Gas Company
gives no assurance that its service
will be improved in the future.

Throngs of curious persons gath
cred at the home of John Dennis,

That a mastodon, a huge prehis-

LEVY OF FIFTY CENTS

An appeal is being made to the
members of the Legislature by V. o.
Gilbert, State Superintendent OF
Public Schools, to amend the school
laws to permit levy of fifty cents
on the 500 value of taxable prop
erty for school purposes.
He would have the law amended
so as to make the school age in this
State from six to twenty years, in
stead of six to eighteen. An eight
months term for the rural schools
is advocated.
Gilbert would cut out all second
class teachers certificates after
1920, and require elementary agri-
culture to be taught in the public
schools after 1920.

 A novelty as popular as it is ef- fective IS the combination of mahogany and cane; this is exceedingly artistic, ss shown in a variety of handsome -nairs. etc.
 The favored library sets come in mahogany. anu are upholstered in ieather for the ordinary home use.
 What oak is used for house fittings tow is principally either fumed or wax finished.

It used to be that as long as a man was reasonably peaceable and not un- reasonably lazy, other folks did not bother much what he did. But how times have changed. Now the same man must not only be reasonably busy, but he must be busy at q reasonably essential essential task, else along comes the government taps him on the shoulder and tells him to move on and find a real job.

STATE PARK TRACT GIFT
 FROM POMFRET WOMAN

The State Park commission has re- gently received from the state two valuable gifts of land for park pur- poses, lying near the eastern and the western boundaries of the state.
 The first gift from Miss Sarah B. Fay, of Woods Hole. Mass, a former resident of Pomfret, lies ;n the town of Fomfret, on or near the Masha- moquet Brook, just south of the Hart ford and Providence turnpike and is composed of two tracts. One about Il acres on the easterly side of Masha- moquet Brook including very beau tiful and irregular gorge, with a fine stand of old native hemlock, and a smaller tract of three acres fronting on the turnpike and Eydtered by small tributary of the Mashamoquet. known as the Sap Tree Rnn, with q. stand of red and sugar naples and other hard woods. To this gift the commission has added by purchase some A acres of adioirlirg land in cludins a plantation ot young pine and frontage on both the turnpike and Mashamoquet Brook.
 The second gift, from the White Memorial Foundation of Iitchfield
 comprises a single tract of two thous- and acres in the northwestern part of the town of Kent. It includes about three miles of Macedonia Brook. with numerous tributary mountain streams,
 and two mountains over 1460 feet above sea level, with the slopes of several lesser heights. Cobble Noun tain, on the west bank Of the brook, 1420 feet. lies nearly on the New York State line, and was used as a second arys triangulation point by the United l States Coast and Geodetic Survey pre- vicus to 1888.
 1 The tract is nearly all heavily l wooded. with mixed hard woods pre- 1 dominating. though a few scattering 1 pines and ilernlocks still remain visi- | ble from the highway. Tho many ra- vines leading up into the mountains have not yet been explored by the 1 commission.

Weakened Victims Fall Easy Prey To Other

The getting-wen stage of grip, pneumonia or other illness is the most dangerous of all because the body, weakened by the disease, is wide open to attacks of other lurking germs.
 That is why all the organs of the body must be kept in their best work ing order, not only to drive out the poison left by the disease, but that the patient shall regain strength as soon as possible to avoid further at- tacks resulting from the poisons in the system.
