AMERICAS BUSINESS

There are a great many of us Americans to whom America is more than a geographical term, home, or a government. It is an ideal
 At present, we see this ideal assafl- ed by 8 vast agglomeration of for eigners, and so-called radicals, to whom America means simply a con venient spot from which to launch their attacks on society and the world as 1t is now constituted That there is danger of the ruin of this coun- try and the death of the ideal of lib- erty for which it stands, is of no in terest to these persons It is because of this that we true Americans, who feel that the future of our country must continue to be the work of con structive energy It has been in the past, should do our durnedest, in the good old phrase, to check and control this inchoate and dangerous mass. moved entirely by selfish motives or dragged along through ignorance where it is not actually unbalanced.
 There are plenty of faults to be corrected, some serious. Those of us who stand for the American ideal will be the last to say we have at tained 1t. But we do not wish to see the Bolshevist ideal substituted We do not intend that a hoodlurl crowd shall overthrow the beacon se up in blood and sacrifice a hundred and fifty years ago and kept flaming through the generations. We do not want the Red Flag for our standard
 People who dabble in Bolshevisra and anarchy for the excitement of the thing, or because it amuses them, are doing a dangerous thing. Dis order and violence are not difficult to incite. Contempt for law, and the general idea that smashing is better than building, are easy enous.,
 spread in a country like this, where a huge undigested group, drawn from the four corners of the world, lies fai- low to suggestion
 If America is to be ours, is to be our children's we must take notice of the methods of those who are try ing to change it so vitally that it will not be our America, and will no longer represent the best effort toward true liberty so far achieved. We must put our heart into working for Americas best ends, and our strength into saving America from the forces of destruction. We can't do this by simply going about what we call "our own business" We must be about something bigger than that. We must be about Americas business.

ZONE SYSTEM
 FINDS FRIEND
 GOODWIN KIND
Want Safety Zone Estab- lished at Pickett's Switch
 Fairfield.

Reports by Manager Joseph Good win, of the Connecticut company, this morning stated that cars under the zone system were running close to time and at no time during the rush of the early morning hours were any cars on the principal lines more than five minutes off their schedule.
 It was reported here this morning that the Connecticut company would abandon the zone system in New Ha- ven this afternoon owing to the rush expected at the Yale bowl for the football game with Brown but Man ager Goodwin says that this is untrue and that while the bowl is in the two fare limits that owing to the big rush of traffic and to aid the public one payment cars will be run on this line for the football game.
 Rumor this morning also had it that a petition is going the rounds in F. rfield to establish a safety zone arc nd Pickett's switch. While the Connecticut company is to 8 certain extent in favor of such a thing they have not been asked to co-operate with the town authorities in having # established.
 Manager Goodwin stated this morn ing that the service was improving and he expected to see the improve ment in the system so marked that within a short time things would be running as smoothly as under the prepayment system.
 Asked what traffic reports were and how the public were riding on the zone system as against the extent of traffic under the old system he could not say but indications are that traf- fife is lighter here now than it has been in some time. Against this the company points out that many pay more money so the returns are not less.

States Marketing Work

That marketing problems are being giv- en more and more attention by Stae gov ernments k shown by q survey which the Bureau of Markets, United States Department of Agriculture, has been conducting.
 Following the eample of the Federal Government, 90 States have established bureaus of markets or similar agencies to study the buying and selling of farm products. Four State legislatures have created such bureaus this year. The model law prepared by the Bureau of Markets has been adopted by one State with practically no change and has been incorporated wholly or in part in the laws of several other states. In few cases State Departments of Agricul- ture have begun marketing work under authority of general clauses in their laws.
 The activities of the bureaus vary from simply studying the conditions af- fecting marketing, through regulation of marketing practices, to the actual buying and selling of farm products. This later activity, however, has been been discontinued in at least one State Most of the bureaus have authority to establish grades and standards. inspect farm produce, and maintain market news service.

"The younger generation doe. not want instruction, it will instruct any one who will listen to it.
 Thu, said Ripping some decades ago. not foreseeing the eXaetness with which his words would apply ill the cycle of the future They apply with particu- lar force just now, to the large young in hat hundreds of thousands of them accumulated savings for the first time when they bought the Government securities that helped win the war.
 Do they want instruction from the seasoned and experienced man who is accustomed to making money work for himz
 Too many of them do not They are instead willing to give minute instluc- tion to all who will listen as to how to get rich qiuck by selling the absolutely safe Government bonds and investing in Moon Aerial' or "Gullibility Special Oil or any one of the thousand and odd securities which have replaced the gold brick in the hands of the .sconfi- dence man."
 And when in present or future months you see q man with an all gone" expression and far away look in his eyes, you may safely figure that he has just learned that he has nothing left of his fifty per cent sure invest ment.' except the mocking echoes of the rosy words of the stock salesman.
 The older generation of ixesors and hrifty men in general could and proba bly, did, tell him that before he parted with his Liberty Bonds, Treasury Say ings Certificates. or War Savings Stamps, but he did not want instruc tion.''
 The case of Government Securities vs Rosy Dreams, Untold, resolves itself generally into the case of the promises of the United States Government vs the glib words of some man whom you never saw before. The old investor knows that the 4.27 per cent a Treas ury Savings Certificate will earn if held until maturity is about as good and safe an investment as there is in the world.

French Want American Lumber

The purchase of American lumber by France is advocated by certain French interests, in order to supply an estimat- ed need of 5000 board feet annu- ally for several years. according to in- formation secured by the Bureau of Markets of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. The species recom- mended are Douglas fir and southern pine. At present the tariff and freight rates in France on American lumber are much higher than on lumber coming from European countries, and American measurements are different from those employed in Europe. These difficulties are not considered insurmountable, how ever. and an effort will probably be made to overcome them.

1t will mean, says the statement,
that labor has accepted the challenge
of the big group of employers who
engaged in profteering during the war
and who still are profiteering. The
employers, it concludes, have grip
on the public and the government, and
they have denied to labor and the pub
lie a hand in the government.

The senators said that Secretary

The members of the house commit
tee charged Secretary Lane with bad
faith, as he only shifted officers.
Most of the criticism was laid to the
inexperience of Chairman Mears of

in charge of construction of the rail
road Secretary Lane said that Mears
formerly had charge of the operation
of all the American railroads in

position, and that he arrived in France
