TO HELP NEW ENGLAND.

To develop and to utilize every practicable short cut" between the farmer and the direct consumer is one oft the announced purposes of the New England Farm and Food Foun- daticn which has just been organized by industrial leaders of New England to force down the cost of living.
 The association already has a con- siderable sTu of money pledged to carry out it's aim of reha bilitating az riculture in this section. rutting the farmer on his feet and sav-1g ;he T.tket of the ultimate 3trchaser.

 Such house need not cost much more than one that would go to wreck in thirty years. A little Well-trained thinking will be about the only dif- ference.

The Joy. of sils San.

Some time ago The Times published an editorial relating to moenshining and similar practices. It referred to the fact that there was such a thing as silo sap" It was said in that story that it had been discovered that the farm hands and perhaps the farmers in some sections of Jefferson county found that by tapping the siio they mented cern juice of a character not unlike bourbon whisky in some of it's stages Tine story was questioned by some at the time, but since then mum erous persons have attested to the ve- raeity of the statements.
 Now comes a story from Conneeti- cut to the effect that the farm hands down in Midham County are pitching knew before. and the peculiar burst os enthusiasm is attributed to "siio sap which they projected into the bunghole of a corn siio. The dispatch says that Brooklyn, Plainfield and other towns of the state. wherever they may be. this particular jag is very well known and it Is serving to keep the farm hands of that locality at home and content in spite of the extra hou rof daylight.
 The process of extracting the sile sap is simple. It. rests at the bottom of he siIo the pure, undilutted extract made delightful by winter of drip,

 The sile sap is looked upon as a ben- ef1cial nectar sent by the gods In some district, according to the Connecticut view. Nationwide prohibition came on July 1. the day having began. The labor situation was jeopardized. Along came this silo still. Result: Contepted farm hands, who would have fled under other conditions. re- nained to apply the straw to the low places of the silo and thereby receive the nectar that would permit them to pitch 300 pounds of hay clean over the new barn at single pitch if they were so. inelined-and. of course, under the circumstances they were entirely will in'

b1e for the increased cost of living for the New England people. Perhaps the most important rasutt to be expected by the ultimate con- sumer will accrue through the far mer's proper and more direct mar keting and distribution of his product to the people themselves. Ty thus eliminating long, distance freighr rates and the profits of tho numerous s'Eo- betweens" who now handle farm pro ducts, the consumers dollar will go considerably farther in the purchase of agricultural food -stuffs.
 The banks of New England axc tc be urged by members of the Founda- tion to assist New England agricui. ture in every financial way.
 Another feature of the Foundation will be to assist whenever posssb,e, young men to obtain an agricultural education and give them suficienl f. naneial backing to start farming. By this and the other means already emu meratcd, the Foundation hopes. finally to bring back under cultivation the five million acres of land in New En- gland which are now lying idle. In ad- dition. the Foundation will encourage and help in every way 1t can to re- establish and extend New England's livestock industry.
 Any practical plan of reducing the cost of living certainly deserves the support of every urban and rural member of the New England commu-

RECOGNIZING koLcHAk.

To all intents and purposes Admiral Kolchak has been recognized by the allies, including the United States, as the head of the real government of Russia. This has raised a storm of protest from some people in this country who find terrible things to tell about the admiral and his govern nent.
 But what was the alternative? It was apparently either Admiral Kol- ehak or Lenine and Trotzky. While the admiral may not be spetless, the allies certainly would not recognize a government drenched in blood as the BolsheVik is. A tale of the Bolshevik leaders activities would read like a page from the bloodiest and darkest annals of medieval history. Without moral scruples. these two adventurers have bathed Russia in blood and tears. If, in the opinions of some, Kolchak should deserve ten years with his Sa- tanic majesty, Lenine and Trotzky would need sentences measured by the aeons of creation.
 It was the necessity of recognizing some form of government in Russia and the allies chose the best. though it was not above reproach.

LESS WORK, MORE PAY.

Not by raising leisure and pay to
 3 maximum and by reducing work to
 a minimum will the world repair the damages and make good its deficits, the task that lies before it. Yet in the prevalent unrest and disturbance over conditions. we find these two ends joined. It is perfectly apparent that cutting production will intensity the scarcity of commodities and make them dearer. yet that is just what is being proposed when the opposite should be the case. The world should he working overtime to make up for what has been lost in the ravages of war.
 There can be no more suggestive case in point than that of British Abor, which wants to do less and to receive more at time when it should bend every back"
 Japan sees things from a different angle of whom a recent reviewer writes: ''She now controls the car rying trade to the Far East and has q sure footing in many of it's mar kets. What she has acquired she means to keep and extend. and ev- cry possible means will be used that can help in attaining that end Can Great Britain, staggering under CO., lossal debts. with workmen who threaten to demand system Of six hours a day. five days a week, wages E1 day, and a pension of two- thirds at 50, compete with a country that is not only solvent. but rich; where workmen. as capable as British in most respects and superior in some, in deftness, quickness of perception, precision, discipline, cleanliness and Sobriety, are content to work twelve hours a day. seven days a week. for weekly wages of less amount than the daily wages that are to be demanded in England ?"
 This is lesson for Great Britain but it also applies to the troubles that are disturbing Washington, and while l there is no intention of saying that i American conditions must be reduced l to the Japanese standard. we must | recognize the fundamental applica | ton of these principles.

RED CROSS APPEAL.

It is certain that the American peo- pie will demonstrate their allegiance to the Red Cross by generous re- Sponse to the third Red Cross roll call which is announced for November to secure members for 1920 and has also an appeal for s15,ooOsoa0 to enable the organization to com plete it's war obli- gations at home and abroad.
 It is the primary ambition of the American Red Cross to be of service to Americans. and it is for this work that the membership money will go, but there is continuing obligation left in Europe through the war.
 Congress has authorized Secretary Baker to transfer to the Red Cross such medical and surgical supplies and supplementary and dietary foodstuffs now in Europe as is not needed by the American Red Cross to relieve and supply the pressing needs of the uoun- tries involved in the late war such as rfae Balkans, Poland and other eastern European countries. To meet these obligations and administer this foreign Ielief the Red Cross must raise at this time fund of 15.0Oe,O0o.
 Both at home and abroad it is rec ognized that the Red Cross has han died with remarkable ability problems that verged on the super human.
 In its coming service to Americans it VIII turn it's chief attention and ener- Ex to the development of a clearly de- 3iHed home programme, which already includes systematic preparedness for disaster relief widespread nurring Ffan, continuing home service opera tions, first aid inscruction and T jur- for Red Cross programme, all of which will depend for their success upon large and vigorous chapters.

THAT TEA FLAVOR.

Did if ever strike you as odd. that. although we use flavor of coffee for so many different purposes besides for the usual beverage, we seldom find the flavor of tea used save in the bever- age or in combination filth fruit juices? You often have coffee parfait or coffee ice cream; why not tea ice cream and tea parfait? As a matter of fact it is quite a delicious possi- biiity. Here is a rule for making the ice cream: It calls for cup of strong freshly made tea, a pint of cream and the juice of half lemon, sweeten to taste and freeze in the usual way. with tea and a little lemon juice and sugar to taste you can make a sherbet that is extremely refreshing on a warm day,
 And while on the subject of tea, did you ever try making it of milk in stead of water? Some people like it this way, and it is said that some in yalids who cannot take the usual sort of tea find this entirely satisfactory. To. make it put the tea leaves as usual in the tea pot and then pour over them little hot milk that is not too creamy and has been brought to the boiling point and no more. Let 1t stand a minute or so and then add as much more hot milk as you will need to make the right strength.

MAKING coHoREssMEN.

l Since the beginning of the republic | it has been apparent that the prac- tice of law has held the lead of ali the professions and occupations as the stepping stone to a political career and this continues to be illustrated by the figures obtained from the di- rectory of the sixty sixth congress. There are 260 lawyers in the lower house Of congress with editors second in point of preference. there being nineteen of the newspaper men.
 The practice of law. seems to stim-
 ulate political ambition, or it may be
 that the voters naturally think that
 lawyers are the logical choice for a
 body whose functions are concerned
 with the making of laws. The law
 yer's practice in appearing in public
 as a speaker and his ability in pre-
 senting popular causes also mark him as man suited to represent his con- stituents.
 Bankers in congress are third in number with thirteen. farmers have eleven, and manufacturers have eight. There are six labor leaders, three To- comotive engineers, one cartoonist, two dentists, four newspaper report CTS, two iron molders, and Various other occupations are represented by one or two members. Forty three members give no previous occupation, seeming to be fayorite sons who have been picked out by their communities as the men for the place and accept ing the honor thrust upon them.
 Significance is to be seen in the in- creasing number of labor leaders. who become congressional material and prove their ability when put to the test They are men who generally have had to fight their way to political preferment and they have felt <he taste of popularity. which is a large factor in continuance in a political career.
 But the lawyers are still in the lead by a long way, which goes to show that law office is most likely to be the best starting point for boy whose ambition may some day lead him to be 8 congressman.

 The plan succeeded. Some had plain pink which matched striped goods. In several instances different members had identically the same material. They measured and exchanged fairly, and incidentally. had much fun.
 It resulted, moreover, in each member going home with enough goods for a dress. apron or boomers. according to her needs.
