THE OWL PROBLEM.

"Of what avail are the solemn and feryent admonitions of the various ofhcial bureaus and commissions for the conservation of food, fuel, light. raj uaent etc., 80 long as the bureaus and commissions have no jurisdiction over the feathered, furred and tinny denizens of the heavens above, the earth beneath, and the waters under the earth? The proverbial wisdom of the owl presents a prob. which the food conservators can solve only by admonishing the people to eternal vigilance. Here comes the Canaan News, with this incident of owlish sagacity:
 Walter Goggln killed a large horned owl last Monday which was
 attempting to carry away one of his pigs. The owl has talons like hawk
 and succeeded in striking Walt as it
 passed him, cutting long slit in
 his hand.
 With bacon selling at. 55 cents a pound in dainty handkerchief boxes it would seem that the pigs that produce 1t ought to have some guarantee of protection against the air raids of the horned and goggle-eyed aviators that infest the upper atmosphere aud the wooded hills up in Litchfield County The incident seems to open up field which the State Council of Defense has not yet discovered. It is manifest that the Liberty Chorus is not quail fled to meet the emergency. ."-Green. wich News 6 Graphic.
 Owl right, John. If the Council is defenseless and the Chorus unworthy of note, why not sic the president of the B. H. o of A. onto this Job?

WILL HISTORY REPEAT2

The wrangling of congress winch has been given much less publicity than would have been the case under normal conditions, and the recent statements made by officials who have returned from abroad, regarding the improper equipment of our soldiers, together with the Goethals- -Denman controversy and others of similar nature, all of which have delayed the active partici- patton of this country into the great world war, reminds one oI she condi- tions which existed, according to his- tory, at Valley Forge, in '76, in a modified form. crs-- - v-. -

der his resignation as commander of the American forces because congress was so busy feathering it's own nest and squabbling over matters of little importance, while the soldiers were fucing starvation and the prospect of freezing to death. Nor does thls same I>'nrv give the complete facts about Bcu"dict Arnold the traitor who was once Cue of the hravest soldiers in the American army.
 The canGress of that period wss at least partially to blame for Arrold's traachery Arnrld gave up profitable drug business in New Haven and jO.ued the American forces, and from inc time of hi, enlistment up to the feteiul day he attempted to bctray his country, he gave generously of his money, worked withC ut pay and made q forced m +rch through the dense forests of New Englan1 to Canada, which has not been equaled in the history of the world Many brave deeds are credited to Arnold, and yet, stu
 dents If our history state that congress refused to sanction the promotion rt. commended by Gen. Washington and which was highly merited through valor and military knowledge.
 The present war may not give birth to men who might be branded as traitors, but if it shculd, We trust that none of our brave soldiers will be leJ, through spirit of personal revenge, to betray their country because If real or imagined grievance caused by 'houghtless, nearsighted or pickering government official who prizes his peI- ! sonsl welfare m~re highly than his patriotism or considers his personal welfare in preference to the needs of his government.
 The people Gf the country are fast | coming to ss tuil realization of what the war means as nol com batants can. Now 1t is up to many government officials to do likewise ana crt out party politics and red tape, that the task of placing formidable fighting machine in the field at an early date may be expedited. AS Congressman Dale of Vermont, says: "For 1od's sake, wake up and realize what the war means. Iwish had some of those easy chair Washington department fellows at Vipay Ridge, men who after eight months of war and net enough guns in France to equip our mon, are still telling the newspapers that every. thing is all right.
