of agriculture estimates that the

Some Of the agricultural experts fig
ure that the New England farmers

che prices ranged well above the figures
IF other years they looked small in
comparison with those Of the year be-

IF we could clear away three billions

II The coat fits you. pat It on"

The establishment of the suoar card
system IN Windham county is an adj
mission on the part of food administra-
ton officials that the volunteer nlan
was not working out eouitablv Tbo
trouble with 1T in all probability was
that it put the heaviest burden ON M.
triotic people and let slaekers off too
lightly. That is apt to be the fault of
any volunteer arrangement, as Great
Britain found out to its sorrow in the
early days of the war. It is rather a
sad commentary on the frailties of
human nature, however, that in so small
a thing as the consumption of sugar
there are a lot of folks who seem blind
to their patriotic responsibilities. And
a peculiar feature of it is that some
OF the very people whose refusal to live
up to the voluntary sugar regulations
brought about the card plan are prob
ably people who subscribe to Liberty
bonds, give to war charities and would
sincerely resent any charge that they
were not 100 per cent patriots. Yet
through thoughtlessness-The Meddler

tive to their actions-they systematieal-
ly tempered with the machinery of the
food administration until a new ar
rangement became necessary.

dread the thought of an operation. So
many women have been restored to
health by this famous remedy, Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, after
an operation has been advised that it
will pay any woman who suffers from
such ailments to consider trying it be-
fore submitting to such a trying ordeal.

State Fish and Game Commissioner
Leavens is emphaticalIy right when he
says that the. next legislature should
not spend any time tikering with the
fish and game laws. As far as that is
concerned the next legislature should
not spend time tinkering with any
thing. It will have to assemble, as the
constitution makes no provision for
postponing it, but every man who is
made member of it should be pledged
IN advance not to waste the state 5 mon
ey in idle discussion, It is unquestion-
ably fact, however, that if the eff
cheney of the fish and game department
IS to be maintained its employees will
have to be paid more money than the
statute provides at present, but as the
department is entirely supported by
sportsmen, who viii unanimously sup
port any plan for improving the law
enforcing machinery, nobody else ought
to make objection to the few recon.
mcndations that the commissioner will
probably offer.
