GREAT DANCER
IN GOVERNMENT
CONTROL OF ROADS

Rome, June 29.-Dr. Maffeo Panta-
leoni, who is considered an authority
on systems of government, sees great
danger for European nations in the
war time tendency toward government
control of railways. He says that af-
ter the war the United States will
shake off such parasitic ideas" In
ban interview with The Associated
Press, DR.. Pantaleoni said:
Government ownership Of rail-
ways is only one of the many afflic-
tons sure to be imposed upon this
poor old Europe after the war. With
the war the government has become
almighty with us. The government
now does everything and after the
war its entertainments will be appal-
ling and bring us near to ruin
'SThe United States is run on diff
ferent lines it was founded on other
principles, and while it may be har-
assed after the war by the bogies of
government control, it will shake them
off. The country is too young and
strong. Parasitic government con-
troll ideas attacking it will be no more
than lice on big, healthy dog.
eff I had never before been con-
WINGED Of the futility Of government
control, this war would certainly have
convinced me. am now sure that
the less government a nation has the
better it is for the prosperity Of its
people. A government Is always rob-

is always betrayed by its employees.

known fact that privately owned Ger
man railways have always paid great
er dividends than those owned by the
government there. In France the
Western railway, as controlled by the
government, is miserable and costly

PERUvIANS ARE
CONCERNED over
YELLOW Peril

Lima, June 29.-The newspapers of
Peru are much concerned with the
rapid increase of what they call the
''peligro amarillo" or yellow peril in
Peru.
It is said that in Peru today there
are no less than 100000 Peruvians
who have Chinese and Japanese blood
In their veins to such an extent that
the Oriental characteristics are prom
inent in their features and many Pc
ruvian girls attempt to hide this trait
by wearing dark glasses.
Formerly the Chinese exclusively
overran the country, but during the
last few years the Japanese have been
arriving in numbers that alarm Peru
Yians.
The newspapers point out what they
describe as a dangerous situation arts
ing from the Asiatics forcing the native
Peruvians out of almost every trade,
by working much cheaper than the
Peruvians.
The Japanese own and operate the
majority Of barber shops, the Peru
Wan carpenter has given way to Jap
anese, and Japanese servants are rap
idly replacing the diligent Andine
servants in his mansion, a fact that
has been much commented upon in
recent newspapers.
The Japanese also have forced the
native workers out of the small trades
and minor industries such as laundries,
dairies, tin shops, newsstands, mes
senger services, small cafes, etc.
era1 newspapers which have opened
their columns for discussion as to how
the Peruvian laberers can be protect
ed against this invasion, in view of the
fact that the invaders appear to be
perfectly contented to work just as
hard as the native for half wages.

FARMERS USE MORE ACRES.

Farmers in four Connecticut conn
ties are using 26.371 more acres of

pleted by State Librarian George S.
GODDARD. Data of untold value to
the state concerning the 13,402s farms
surveyed. have been tabulated by the
same methods used in the state mill
tary census. The farm survey was
conducted in Hartford Fairfield.
Litohfe1d, New Haven and Tliand
counties.
Among the farm products which
farmers said they would raise more
extensively this pear are oats, rye,

Dealers Must Get
Sugar Cards Soon

Any sugar consumer except house
holders should at once secure sugar
cards from the State Food Admins
tration at Hartford, or they will not
he able to get sugar after the first of
July. They will not be allowed to
draw upon their allotment for next
month, and may find themselves short
of their needs, and may have to suS-
pend business. Under this head are
soda dispensers, restaurants, and con
fectioners.
Householders are allowed three
pounds per person a month, but may
only purchase two pounds at time.
d. Fairchild Wheeler, local food ad-
lministrator, said today: There is no
reason why local dealers should not
have the necessary supply of sugar
AZ they secure cards at once from the
Food Administration at Hartford. II
they do not do so, they will not be
able to secure any until the following
month. Householders may have the1I
usual amount, and do not need cards.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY
CROP CONDITIONS

The. crops in Fairfield county are
expected to far surpass those of last
year, although the conditions this
year are not as favorable as last.
Frosts this year have struck the upper
section of Fairfield, but did little dam
age, where as the conditions in Liteh-
field and the counties of Massachu-
sets the damage was more severe.
Corn is appearing through the
ground with e strong growth but held
back by the cold weather in sections.
Potatoes are declared to be fair with
more acreage than last year, Hay is
short in the northern part Of the
country. with good stands in other
sections.
A shortage of milk is predicted for
August and September with many
farmers selling their cattle because
of the high price of feed. In some
places no young stock is being kept,
which is the way in many parts of
the country, the result being that
young stock is very scarce.
