BETTER TO RESPECT THE LAW,

Regulations regarding the use of certain foods at this time have been Established by :he food administra- fion for the purpose of having them respected. and laws have been passed which are considered sufficient to see that they are. Unfortunately there are those who seem to think that the regulations have been put forth for the other fellow to observe, that 1t is Necessary only to obey them while aomeone is looking and that if they tan be dodged it is an advantage Fhich they can take.
 . Some of the arrests which have Been made ought to be sufficient to flear up any such situation and to H1ake those who have violated the Provisions and been caught, as well as any others who are sti1l violating Inc requirements. to voluntarily call a halt and do as they have been di- tected. It was only a short time ago lnat wholesale sugar house was sound to be dlsregarding the regula- Hons. The authorities possessed the power to pu. it out of business. but '"@-e Nr lnS AaNl l1stt many Qeaief6 were relying upon their supply from that source 1t was deemed wise that this step should not be taken but that a fine Of s2O.0O0 should be imposed representing all the unjustifed prof. it's which had been secured and some more, which 1t was directed should go to the Red Cross. A New York res- taurant has just been made to pay $500 to the Red Cross and post a mo- tice to the effect that it has violated the regulations but has pledged full obedience in the future It is thus being made evident that prosecution in case of violation can be expected and inasmuch as the law is going tt be enforced it is far preferable tha t should be respected.

THE sENArE,s ACTION.

Much attention has been given to the debates which have been carried on in the senate regarding open di- plomacy concerning treaties and the effort to secure limited debate up- cn all matters in general.
 It was the purpose of Senator Bo- rah's resolution to have all discus sion concerning treaties conducted in the open, thus eliminating any se- cret sessions when matters of such importance were under consideration. There can be no question but what the senate acted wisely in defeating this effort. There has been and there is now a very strong opposition to the secret treaties which it has been shown were enacted between Euro pean nations, about which nothing was known at the time and about which nothing was said later until the revelation was made by others a long time after they were in opera tion. This country and the senate is totally opposed to any such thing, but it is different matter to call for the open negotiation of understandings between countries when there is no intention of lleerine them secret af- ter they are established. This coun- tr:' has no such secret treaties and l! wants none While the ncgotia- tions may he carried on behind closel doors the results are made known af- fer tie treaty has been concluded. For that reason and using good judgment inc senate by over a two to one vote turned down the Borah proposition
 As to the matter of cloture the senate has again evidenced it's deter imitation not to be denied it's say This toe is undoubtedly a. wise mov+ but with it should go the detecmina ton of every senator not to st lengthen his de}tato as tn occupy more time than is necessary to fairl, set forth his views.

WAR GARDEN PRIMER
Hist! CutWermsi

Are you on the lookout for garden cutworms? If not you had better be, say today's bulletin from the Ma tional War Garden Commission
 These cutworns proKl around after dark and come like a thief in the night to cut off such plants as corn. cab bage, tomatoes and other crops They are an inch or more iong, half as thick as a lead pencil and are of the color of the ground. They represent a splendid example of camouilage. be- ing of real ground color, and a care less observer might not see them In fact it takes a sharp eye to detect them. They cut off plant at the sur face of the ground and then burrow under the surface by the side of the ruined plant. Just dig down by. a freshly cut plant in the morning and you will likely find MT. Worm asleep and digesting his midnight dinner. Kill him and set out a new plant unless it is corn which will probably send out a new growth.
 i In their early lives cutworms live 1 on the roots of grass and when sod or ! other grass land is plowed up look out | for cutWorns. For this reason sod is i not especially desirable to blow under 1 for 8 garden.
 l Fortunately there is way oi poisoning cutworms, says the bulletin because they have a sweet tooth and will eat sweetened poisoned bait

For the Observance of July Fourth.

For the Observance of July Fourth. MT. Editor: The United States gov- ernment authorities at Washington have endorsed the suggestion that spe- cial public demonstrations be given in all cities on the next anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, July 4th. 1918, to signalize the loyalty of citizens of foreign birth or extraction to our country, and to the ideals for which it has engaged in the present war.
 In compliance with request from the Washington committee, the writer has appointed representatives of the various groups of such citizens in this city to take up and bring to success this inspiring celebration here, and a meeting of these representatives will be held in the town hall on next Mon- day evening, June 17th, at 8 o'clock. All good people are earnestly invited to attend.
 Kindly publish this announcement.
 Very truly yours.

corn sprouts, scatter little Jumps of worms to eat. Cutworms like to hide this mash over the garden for the beneath objects so place few chips or pieces of boards on the ground and early in the morning look under them for worms.
 If you do not spread the poison as just mentioned then put little lump by the side of each plant when you set 1t and by each hill of corn when it begins to sprout. If your land has been well gardened several times be- fore, there is not much danger of cutworns.

Joseph Alsop, who takes a practical interest in the food production of the state, sees no reason why there should not be more than one thous- and beef cattle imported into the state each year. These animals will be turried into beef to be Sold in the local markets of the states The hope is entertained that the experiment will materially assist in reducing the price of meat to consumers if it does not absolutely solve the meat problem in this state. There was a time when Connecticut raised it's own
 beef but the industry languished and
 finally disappeared almost altogether
 The present war conditions give sub stantial encouragement to its revival
 and it is hoped that the re-establish- ment of it will be on a basis that will insure it's permanency so that it may survive the business read3ustments
 which will follow the restoration of

 Mr. Editor: I would like to make a few comments on fad that is now greatly practiced, both in our city and others, if you can allow me space to do so. There is an excuse for. those who make no pretensions to being re- fined. but women who have graduated at colleges and who have been brought up by parents who are cultured and refined, to me there can be given no excuse for the ugly habit of gum chewing. It's nothing unusual to go into one Of our stores and see a sales woman waiting upon a customer, chewing gum and talking at the same time. In the cars, on the streets and in the churches it is practiced just the same. We know that a COW must have her cud, but why must a girl or woman have their gum

It is said that we need amusement during these strenuous days; and cer- tainly q large elenyeg1t of the popula- tion takes that view of the situation. The theatres are crowded and the
 movies draw their delighted millions. All of this is well enough, as far as it goes An hour of relaxation is bet
 ter than none. And yet it does not meet the whole need We are up against the same old problems when the curtain goes down on the. fun- niest antics of Fatty" Arbuckle, or
 the most diverting comedy.
 Ultimate cheer waits only upon certain sure, moral convictions Amid all the chaos of human life one must perceive the manifestations of di- vine order. God rules in the lives of men. and all the affairs of this tur- bulent old world are being directed somehow, to righteous goal. Herein is Fundamental ground for cheer. As an acute thinker has said: The more 8 man is capable of entire seriousness 1 the more heartily can he laugh" Ah, the little birds sang east, and the little birds sang west

Sunday Morning Talk
SMILE

The corners of the mouth should be trained to turn up instead of down. Even in war time laughter is better than tears. Along with tgle boys in the cantonments everybody must learn, in some degree, to pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile. smile, smile.''
 Among his blessings one must count that of sense of humor-if he has it. ''The best fence against care is a ha. ha! Wherefore, take care to have one all around you wherever you can" So wrote Tom Hood, who often, during his troubled career, had occasion to prove the truth of his own words. His prescription was in line with that of Bible sage who asserted that "A cheerful heart is a good medicine" And these two au- .tborities were rightly interpreted by the clerk at a particularly ner1'e- racking post of labor who, long be- fore the popular army song was writ en, had fastened, by his side the genial motto. Keep smiling.'

What gift of nature is more gen. timely to be prized that the ability to see the bright side Of things? The man or woman who has the power of extracting all possible fun from any given situation has a real weap- on against the ills of fife.
