LOOKING AHEAD.

In the minds of the citizens of a de-
mocracy the idea that service is due
to the government from every m
must be firmly implanted or the en-
franchised cease to be representative
OF such a government.
The selective draft answers the pur-
pose of this service, from a military
standpoint, during the war we are at
present engaged in, but largely be-
cause Of the fact that we have time to
prepare while II allies combat the
enemy. We must look to the future
and the possibilities of a war declared
upon us. when we will have no ally.
Should this occur %selective cOnscrip-
ton would be of no avail. Accepting
the fact that the citizen of a democ-
racy owes his service to the govern
ment, is it not logical that we should
organize this service, which Shall be

Industry Destroyed.
In Belgium, the home of the Bel

been wiped out completely. All of
these noted horses have been
pressed into military service by The
Germans, or shipped back to Ger
many. The Percheron horse in.
dustry in France will not recover
for years, and it will be necessary
for France to import Percheron
horses from other countries to
build up the local business. Great
Britain, the home of the Clydesdale,
Shire. and Suffolk horses, has been
drained dry of it's surplus stock by

perfect machine when the necessity
arises? Few citizens but believe that
universal military training is absolute
ly necessary to the future safety of
this country and that this system
should be adopted by the government
at the first opportunc moment.
The speeding up of our plans to win
this war should in no way be inter-
fered with, and future policies must
be held in check that they may not in
terfere With the winning Of this war.
But when our legislators feel that the
speeding up Of the wal is accomplish
ed a bill should be passed creating q
system of universal military training
and service which will amply provide
for our cOuntry'S defense in the fu-
ture, thereby assuring us against the
disaster of an attack which would find
us unpreparcd and completely at the
mercy Of an organized foe.

Her Experience.

Mrs. E, c. Rumplcr of Irvington, is telling a good story of her experiences last year during the mothers aid cam palgn for money when she was one of he speakers chosen to present the work before organizations throughout the city and appeal for support for the work. Friends of the mothers aid and members of the board provided the speakers with cars, so that they could make more than one speaking engage ment in an afternoon. One afternoon Mrs. Rumpler was rushing from speech to speech in an unusually attractive machinc-perfect in all it's appoint ments, and attended by a chauffeur in splendid livery. At the close of her speech, which seemed to her an un- usually appealing one, and quite sure to melt the hearts and pocketbooks of
 all her hearers, Mrs. Rumpler over heard this comment: "Well, if rode around all the time in a machine like that, I wouldn't be coming out here ] asking other people to give money to
 charity. y."-Indianapolis News

HOW U., S. MET AIR LACK.

Washington, D. C., Dec. S-The ac- tual facts concerning this country S utter unpreparedness in all branches o6 aviation at the outbreak of war are revealed for the first time in the annual report of the chief signal of f1cer of the army, made public yes terday.
 Due to long years of neglect, the beginning of hostilities found the United States with no aviators in- dustry.
 The aviation section of the army consisted of only 52 officers and l. 100 enlisted men. The military au- thorities increased the personnel o1 the section within A months to 16,- 034 officers and 147,932 enlisted men
 Before July l of the present year there had been purchased or made SASS airplanes, 12,626 engines, All balloons, 115,O ,OO0 instruments of vari- ous kinds, 33,909 items of motor transport and 2,F17 hangars had been erected.
 The American-made De Haviland battleplane is today regarded as one of the best battle planes used on any front in the war.
 The creation of special radio ap- paratus, the details of Which are withheld, permitted new control o1 the operations of airplanes en massi and the development of a fabric as 2 substitute for the formerly usec linen fabric at only a little more thar one-half the cost are other American achievements.

SEED CORN SHOW
 IN HARTFORD

There is movement on foot to make Connecticut the seed corn cen ter of the Eastern States. The Coun- ty Farm Bureaus backed by the De- partmant Of Food Supply, the Agri- cultural College at Storrs and the U. s. Department of Agriculture at Washington, are all holding county corn shows. Fairfield county will devote three days to it's corn show Jan. IA, 15 and 16.
 The winners in the county shows are qualified to compete in the state corn show that will be held in Hart ford during farmers week under the supervision of the State Board ot Agriculture. Last winter an enor- nous amount of seed corn spoiled in New England. Connecticut, however, was not only able to take care o1 herself but supplied seven cars ot seed to Wisconsin and North Da- kota.

BABY SELLING TO
 U. $. SOLDIERS

Paris, Dec. 9.---(Correspondence of The Associated Press)- Selling ba- bies to snldiers,'' is Murray G. Saw yer's characterization of his activities as a Red Triangle man with the American Expeditionary Force. MF. Sawyer comes from Minneapolis, Minn.
 Horrible, isn't it, but true" he said to a friend who met him in a French village and asked what he was doing. My particular outfit of men have sold ten babies in the last ten days and we expect to sell a hundred more within the next two months. Why, it's the greatest business in France today---this selling of babies to SOL diers
 We have been working with a bunch of men pretty close to the front lately, and when pay day comes around there's nothing much to do with their money. So we Y. M. c. A. men began to figure out something to offset that.
 There are 59 men in a platoon, and we suggested that each platoon should adopt a baby on pay day. It costs 500 francs to take care of g. baby for one year, and that meant that all but nine men in a platoon should pay five francs each on the following pay day. Making a payment each time of 250 francs, or the 800 in all. Each platoon elects a leader who acts as a go- between, for the babies are bought through the baby department of the Stars and Stripes. On the payment of the second and final instalment the leader gets seven pictures of the child in var ious poses
 ! Tt will be possible for one platoon to take up six babies a year, for it would mean about a dollar from each man on every pay day, which comes around about twice in two months.
 'One man said to me the other day, Gee, Sawyer, this baby business is great Who wouldn't rather have a i baby than jag?'
 And that's the way we Y. M. c. A men have figured it out. We have sold ten babies in ten days, and we are going to place one hundred right in our division before the next pay day rolls around"

barrel to hold a coiled line. The har- poon is then made and fastened with a
 swivel, as illustrated. The head of. the
 harpoon should be hardened slightly, and is welded to the shaft after the
 swivel has been put in place. Blank cartridges loaded with q heavy charge of black powder are used to fire the harpoon, which for distances up to 9 feet has almost the accuracy of a bull let. Before using such a spear for spearing fish one should determine whether or not the practice is legal in his particular state.

PROSPERITY FOR
 TOBACCO GROWERS
Fear Expressed That Wilson Will Be Seriously Embar-
 rassed on Peace Mission

Louisville, Ky, Dec. 9-Kentucky farmers who produce about thirty per cent. of the country's tobacco have experienced unprecedented pros perity since 1915 and this autumn were able to get nearly three times the price with which they would have been content at the beginning of the war.
 Eighty per cent of the 250, 100000 pounds of curley tobacco used in the United States comes from Kentucky. Tn 1914 prices for all qualities of leaf, Jugs and trash averaged between ten and 12 cents a pound, while the price for the heavy, dark export type of tobacco grown in the ''black patch" of western Kentucky climbed from six to sixteen cents.
 When the war began tobacco pro ductiOn in European countries was virtually halted and there was a tremendous drain on the big stocks of American tobacco in European warehouses. It was the demand made Upon these reserve stocks that sent prices upward, rather than the over seas shipments, which were in reality smaller than those in times of peace, dealers say. As the big reserve sup plies decreased, American exporters began buying in the American market to replace the stocks when peace would bring adequate transportation facilities.
 The amount now held for export, ] however, is not sufficient, in the opinion of big dealers, to replenish foreign stocks. They say that this condition, coupled with the desire of domestic manufacture to increase their stocks, will make competition keen for a year.

wasteful excitement which accom- panies campaign methods. If such a plan were introduced the demand for money would be steady and met as a matter of course with little or no Arrangement. 4 similar system has been in use in England for some time past, where f25, 100000 a week has been raised with scarcely a rip pie.
 Values on the Stock Exchange iuc- tuated within narrow limits. The se- curity market is in sound condition, and a confident undertone prevails in spite of many uncertainties and mon etary restrictions. At present the bet ter class of railroad shares and bonds are in most favor; next come the peace industrials; public utilities and intuition shares being comparatively neglected the latter owing to declin- ing dividend prospects and heavy war
 taxation. Some of the industrials are
 also affected by the prospective fall
 in commodities. which naturally af-
 fleets the placing of future contracts.
 Any decline in prices will, however, aid in bringing down the cost of liv-
 ing and so tend to ameliofate the la
 Dor situation. The outlook for the stock market, though favorable, is for considerable irregularity, and pur- chases ought to be made with contin- ued discrimina ton. Investors will find the present a good opportunity 10 pick well selected properties. Gov ernment bonds were quite active and | touched new low levels owing to high l rates for money, which led many sub i scribers to part with a portion of l their holdings.

First Ocean Steamer Century Ago.

The astonishing development of America's shipbuilding industry within the last few years recalls the launch ing at New York 100 years ago of the first transatlantic liner to be operated by steam power. She was the famous Savannah, a vessel of $50 tons. The crank who thought it was possible for q ship to cross the Atlantic by steam power was William Scarborough of Sa- vannah. The Savannah left New York for the home city of her builder April 10, 1819, and a little more than a month later cleared for Liverpool. where she was given a rousing wei come as the first steam vessel to cross the ocean. The trip was made in four days less than a month. From Liver pool the Savannah proceeded to St. Pe+ e+ershurg, and in December, 1919, she was again in her home port.
