Stumps occupy valuable land; foster
the growth OF weeds, since in order
to keep the land in their vicinity clean
much hard labor is necessary; mar the
appearance of otherwise smooth fields,
and hence reduce the selling price OF

insects and animals; and prevent the
efficient use OF modern machinery.
Stumps may be removed by burning,
by explosives, by mechanical means,
or by combination of any or all these

that mere suspicion will be accented
as proof
But the greatest menace to Amer
lea is not in the spy who conveys
military and naval information to the
enemy across or under seas. After
Ill, the United States is three thou
sand miles away from the conflict, and
German spies abound in Great Brit
ain and France, where the opportuni-
ties to smuggle news through neutral
countries and by means OF the skin
pers and seamen on neutral ships
that pass to and from entente ports
are much moro numerous than in the
United States. America must be on
guard against a more subtle enemy
than the military spy-the enemy
propaganda.
"The ordinary conception of a prop.
agandist is either a German who
makes public speeches or one who
writes pro-German communications tn
the newspapers. All this was true
before the United States became a
belligerent. The means now used are
mere indirect but no less vicious. De.
struction of property is more easily
curbed than the destruction of a ma.
TONS spirit. And to that end the
tnsidious operations of the enemy are
today dedicated.
"Germany's avowed purpose with re.
spect to the United States is to pro.
duce serious divisions of opinion. The
German general staff from the start
has argued of it's numerous enemies:
Those whom we cannot destroy we
shall divide History alone will tell
how great part paid agents of Ger
many had in producing the chaos now
regnant in Russia. Italy was almost
subserved, but was saved in time. Eff
forts to detach France and constant
pleadings with Japan are open secrets.
Both nations have Loyalty revealed the
manner of that intrigue. Therefore,
when the United States of America,
most powerful of all allies, most re.
sourceful, most wealthy in men and
the lists, the German
government at first scoffed. What
can they do, with the Atlantic ocean
between us and the submarine so eff
fective? But neither distance noI

TOO MUCH LOOSE TALK

1t is just as important to maintain
community unity as it is to stamp out
DroGerman propaganda, and every
loyal American citizen owes it to him
SELL as well as his country, to re.
IRAN from indulging in gossip during
war times, especially when it has to
do with his neighbor. There are en-
tlrely too many rumors circulated in
all small towns, and Cordoya is no
exception, in reference to the patriot
ism of individuals. These gain mo-
mentum as they are repeated, and
frequently do an injustice to an inno-
cent person.

Under the caption of Swat the
Spy" recent issue of the Saturday !
Evening Post published a timely warn
ing to Americans who are very loose
in their talk, and from which the fol- |
lowing excerpts are taken:
Just because your neighbor is or
German birth or descent and is now
naturalized, just because someone else
whom you do not know moves into
your street and talks with a foreign
accent isn't prima facie evidence that
you have discovered a German agent
Nor is the fact that someone has in
dignantly announced that he wouldn't
buy Liberty bonds or that America
had no business in the war anyway.
These things may be contributoRy
facts, but they also may prove to be
the irresponsible gossip of misguided
people. f.
$50 far as the United States govern
ment is concerned, it gives everybody
a clean bill of health as to utterances
before April 6, 1917. That is the di-
viding line. When the United States
was not a belligerent many people
sympathized with Germany. Just why
this was so it is not necessary now

to inquire. What a man said before
America entered the war is not going
to be used against him if his Ameri-
canism thereafter is sound; but in
the event of suspicious behavior, of
course, things that happened prior to
April may throw an interesting light
on the personal history of the one
suspected.
The government at Washington
wants to discourage spy hysteria.
There are millions of loyal German.
Americans who are now even more
Jealous than ever to prove their fidel-
ity to the cause of their adopted coun-
try, and thoughtless individuals who
can heap no end of injustice and cru
city upon those who are Americans
not by chance but by choice.
"On the other hand, the existence
of spy peril is not an abstract mat
ter; it is a concrete fact. Spies and
enemy agents have been detected al
ready and more of them can be caught
in the future if loyal citizens are on
the. watch
There's one kind of letter, how
ever, that is absolutely ignored and
valueless. 1t is the anonymous COM
munication. Instances have occurred
in which bitter controversies of a per-
sonal character have resulted in ma
licious attempts by one enraged indi-
vidual to produce embarrassment for
another by reporting alleged spy ac-
tivities. Persons who are discovered
in such practices render themselves
liable to legal complications of q seri-
Gus character. The government is not
interested in your personal enemies,
but in the foes of the nation.
when the loyal American observes
suspicious behavior and is sincerely
anxious to combat spies he should, of
course, sign his own name and ad-
dress. His part in the affair will not |
be disclosed. A plain statement of |
the circumstances under which a sus-
pect was observed should be sent to
either the department of justice in |
or to the federal agencies
in any of the large cities. If there is
no United States marshal or United
States district attorney in your i'm
mediate vicinity the postmaster will
forward the complaint to the nearest
office of investigation. Whenever in
doubt, write direct to the division of
of the department of
Justice in Washington.
Loyal citizens must be guided byi
the circumstances of each case, but
in general they are advised to keep
even their suspicious to themselves
after they have reported to the proper
Gossip can do not good and
may do great deal of harm. Just
because you fail to receive a reply to
your communication is no reason to
suppose that attention has not been
given it. Either there is no founda-
ion for suspicion or the government,
is frequently happens, is permitting
he spy to operate 50 as to catch his
Lccomplices too. Your duty is done
When the authorities are notified.

FRIENDLY SUIT
 FOR ACCOUNTING
Embarrassed by Rising Costs of Labor and
 Materials.

A friendly proceeding instituted by the Federal Accounting Co. of New York against the Barnum- Richard son Co. of Litchfeld county has the basis of the appointment of Horace W. Davis of New York, as receiver as requested of the Barnum- Richard son Co, by Judge Edwin s. Thomas in the United States Court in thIs city. The appointment will in no way interfere with the conduct of the business of the company. MT. Davis has authority to conduct it, and to borrow money for the purpose.
 The Rarnum- Richardson Co. has plants in Lime Rock, East Canaan and Ore Hill, this state, engaged in the manufacture of pig iron, other ferns of product of iron ore includ- ing car wheels and castings, acetate of lime and wood alcohol. MT. Da- wis made the following statement:
 My appointment as receiver of Barnum- Richardson Co. signifies neither it's insolvency or any inter ruption of the business. This com pany has been engaged since 1734 in the production of Salisbury Iron-a high grade charcoal iron obtained from it's own mines and produced in it's own furnaces. During the past several years extensive Improvements have been undertaken and to that end s20O, ,000 of new capital has been added. The purpose of the com pany has been to supplement the characteristic quality of its product by equipment which would permit of an enlarged and more economical production.
 The continually rising costs of la ried the cost of improvements beyond that contemplated. The new fur mace at East Canaan is nearing com- pietion, and yet with assets as shown by the statement of September 30. 1918, exceeding the bonded and gen eral indebtedness by over s400,00O, it's cash position is inadequate for the current requirements.
 That together with the restrictions on financing at this time, have made the present friendly suit necessary. It is hoped the purpose of the receiver ship will have been served and the receiver discharged in a reasonably short period, after the new furnace has been put in operation.
 In the meantime the operation Of the company will continue, without change or curtailment, under the management of the present operating officers acting under my general con- trol"
