A FAMOUS HUMANTTARIAN.

Few men who do not occupy pOliti- cal chairs enjoy the unusual position of President Taft. who will be the guest of New Britain tonight, in be- ing the uncrowned leader of a nu- merous school of political thought
 Respect for his opinions on interna- tional matters is almost universal and in domestic affairs his creed is the creed of millions of his following
 MT. Taft's long and honorable ca- reer has been distinguished by an in dependence of thought and action that has raised him above his fellow men.

 The prevention of the constant loss . of income through breach of trust would go far toward paying, the in crease of wages granted employees. X better discipline on the line would prevent many losses through carcIess accidents which would also help. If the public must go on paying an ever- increasing rate and still suffer under constantly decreasing quality of service, government ownership could be no worse.

PRESIDENT WILSON IN PARIS.

No matter how we, in America, view President Wilson--whether we consider him as the champion of mankind or simply an experim enting dreamer-there is no room for doubt concerning the place he has won in the affections of the French people. Press correspondents rack their brains in an effort to outblaze each other in their descriptions of Presi- dent Wilson's reception in Paris where he was acclaimed by two mill lion men, women and children. To find corresponding event in history we must go back to the day when Rome was in her glory and her em- perors returned in triumph to the capital .y after successful military campaigns gainst the barbarianS. And even those triumphal processions pale by comparison with the ovation tendered President Wilson. Rome re- .joicod and made carnival because neglect to do so on the part of any citizen might result in his breath be- ing stopped suddenly. But in Paris, in our day. we sense the spontaneous, sincere enthusiasm of a race paying the homage Of free men to the free men of another land,
 In two addresses President Wilson seized occasion to speak Of the neces- sity of q league of nations to guar antee future peace. During his speech at the luncheon tondered him by President Poincare of France, he said that people Of the United States 'rcalizo1 that to win the war was not enough: that 1t must be won in such q way as to insure the future peace of the world and lay the foundations for the freedom and happiness of it's many peoples and nations" Re spending to the greetings of a Social ist delegation he said that the "co- operation of the nations for the se- curity Of the peace to be made is wholly necessary" That President Poincare also advocates the establish ment of barrier against war is shown by his words in reply to Amer ica's spok esman: 'FWithout lending ourselves to the illusion that poster ity will be forever more safe from these collective follies, we must in troducc into the peace we are going to build all the conditions of justice and all the safeguards of civilization that we can embody in it.
 Leaders in Germany who hold out the hope that President Wilson will at tempt to nterpose a shield of mercy between the Allies and the enemy find little consolation in the American Presidents words when he said: And I appreciate, as you do, sir, the neces- gitv of such action in the final settle mcnt Of the issues of the war as will not only rebuke such acts of terror and spoliation but make men every where aware that they can not be ventured upon without the certainty of just punishment" Justice, not mercy. breathes in that statement.

More Beans. Peas. Peanuts.

As important features of its supple
mentary program for feeding the ma
ton, its armies, and the allies, the
United States department of agricul-
ture recommends that great attention
be paid TO the production of beans,
peas and peanuts. On these subjects
the program states:
"The production of beans and peas
should be increased in regions to
which they are adapted, because of
their high food value, keeping quail
ties, and availability for domestic or
export trade.
Soy beans and peanuts should be
increased in order to supplement beans
and peas as human food. as a source
of much-needed oil, and as animal
feeds.
''The production of beans last year
in the six leading states increased
from 10,715,0OO bushels to 15,7O1 900
bushels, and peanuts from 1924. 500
bushels to 60,222,0O0 bushels. But
these increases proved to be greatly
needed, and there is every indication
that large increases will be readily abb
sorbed in 1918.
"The peanut is especially valuable
because of the oil it contains, for
which the need is great. In the South,
especially, soy beans and peanut meal
are proving very satisfactory as par
tial substitutes for wheat. Both soy
beans and peanuts are Of great value
as forage crops"

MAKE BATTLE ON
FOOD PARASITES
Billions of Dollars Damage to
Crops Has Been Prevented.
SPECIALISTS URGE BIG WAR
Assistance to Be Given Farmers TO Re-
duce Injury Caused by Insects, Dis
eases, Mice, Rats, Squirrels
and other Rodents.

Every effort should be made to pre-
vent losses in production, storage, and
transportation of food in these days
when the conservation of every prod
uct contributing to our food supply
means so much, states the United
States department of agriculture in it's
1918 campaign just announced.
Billions Of dollars are lost every
year, says the statement, from such
preventable causes as insects, plant
and animal diseases, carelessness in
breeding, predatory animals, rats,
mice, ground squirrels and other ro-
dents. These losses are being held
in check by present agencies and can
be further greatly reduced or pre-
vented at a cost which is insignificant
when compared with the amount of
damage done. Methods of controlling
many of these harmful factors are now
well established and should be more
widely adopted. A large loss on the
farms of the United States results
from the improper care of manure,
and its careless and ineffective use.
In these times of scarcity of fertiliz-
ing materials more attention than ever
should be paid to the conserving of
plant food from this source.
Animal Diseases and Parasites.
1t has been estimated that diseases
of animals, such as hog cholera, tuber-
culosis, contagious abortion, dourine,
Texas or tick fever, and others, cause
annual losses aggregating many mil
lions. Many of these diseases, to a
still greater extent, can be prevented
or their ravages reduced considerably.
The department has greatly extended
its facilities for dealing with these
matters and will assist farmers in
every feasible way.
The annual losses from insects and
plant diseases are enormous. It has
been conservatively estimated that
smuts of wheat alone cause losses ag-
gregating S6O,000,00O annually. The
staff of specialists in the department
of agriculture, as well as the staffs
in the state institutions, has been in
creased, and, in cooperation with the
forces in the various states, they will
be able to render more effective as
sistance TO farmers during the coming
season than ever before.
Predatory Animals and Rodents.
The losses from animals Injurious to
agriculture and to animal husbandry
are enormous. Native rodents cause
losses of grain, forage and other agri-
cultural products estimated at more
than $150,000O00. House rats and
mice levy a toll of S200O0o,O00 upon
the nations food supply. On the
western cattle ranges predatory ami
mails alone cause losses of live stock
amounting to S20,000,000 to $30,OOO0O0
annually. Methods of eradication have
been developed, especially in the case
of rodents, which will make 1t possible
