its conhguration and the consequent va
r-ety of climate, there is scarcely any
other. country in the world so small in
its number of square miles which can
produce so many kinds of vegetation as
Italy. From the mountains with their
pines, down ever the hillsides and lower
slopes covered with chestnut trees, to
the pains where the palm and the oragne
flourish, with the more moderate tenn
peratures in between where the olive and
the vine grow everywhere, tn soil yields
generously to him who will take the
trouble to cultivate it. Wheat and corn
are spread over all the land, sometimes
in tiny patches on steep slopes where
one wonders that the contadini do not
fall off as they till the little fields,
or in wide extended plains in Lombardy
where American machines help in the
work of planting and reaping. Wheat
corn oil and wine, these four are Italy s
greater source of wealth, especially the
latter.
Almost all fruits, except those exciu-
sively tropical, grow in Italy, and there
is great variety of vegetables Nuts
are plentiful, and form one of the ex-
ports from certain places, while the
chestnut, which clothes miles of hill
sides, served with its fruit to nourish
thousands of persons through the win
ter.
Yet in spite of all these advantages,
Italy is at the present moment short of
food of almost every sort and it looks
as though the coming winter would be a
hard one. The reason is easy enough
to understand; the same reason which
is affecting all the European countries,
in greater or less degree, and the reme-
dies necessary to relieve the present sit
uation, though they are well enough
known, are not so simple in their appli-
cation.
A very large part of the armies OF italy
was made up of contadini men who in q
large majority of cases left only women
and children and old people behind them
to carry on their regular work of cui-
tivating the soil Consequently cvrops
we're not sufficiently planted, nor thor
oughly titled and scarcely fortified at
all. The women on whom the largest
share of the work fell were often the
mothers Of large families, overburdefed
with care, worn out BEFORE their tirpe,
and although always accustomed to help
IN the field work and do a great part of
it, were quite unable to do It all. When
one realizes that a large number of the
Italian farms are dug up with spade
and cultivated without the help of any
machines, and that water has often to be
carried from long distances, and some
times fails altogether through the mid
scInIner, one can understand the enor-
nous difficulties in the way of these
women. 1t Is true that there were va
rious times of furiough given to the men
to come home and help at sowing or har-
vest time, but this by no means en-
tirely relieved the women who were so
bravely carrying the burden from one
weary day to, another. And many of
them were very ignorant, and not only
very tired, but exhausted with anxiety
for their loved ones in constant danger
of death, and they could not possibly
comprehend how much depended on their
making still further almost superhuman

THE ACID TEST.

The News" states that Mf. Win
field Lewis had an experience Of six
years as a Deputy in the Clerks
Office and had made good wherever
he was put.
II is true he had the advantage Cor
disadvantage if you prefer) of being
deputy for that time, but feel
obliged to challenge the rest of the
statement. His administration of
his position as Recording Clerk is a
fair subject Of criticism and potent
factor in determining his capabilities
for the Office he seeks. His ineffiiency
was very largely responsible for the
defeat for reelection of the demo-
cratic candidate. There is not a
deed or mortgage at, the present
time in this office unrecorded. At
the end of Mr.. Lewis term the re-
cording of these papers was from six
months to year in arrears and all
other recording was untouched by
him. I have devoted myself and my
office force during my short incumb-
ency of this Office in clearing up the
congestion of this business in this
office and my successor will start >un-
encountered.
Now here are the facts and figures:-
Under the law, the retiring Clerk has
six months to complete any unfinish-
ed business remaining over from his
term of office, and if the new Clerk
falls short of his salary from Office
fees after paying his, deputies, he
can charge and collect from his pre-
decessor the cost of any unfinished
work to be completed after the six
months has expired. The six months
was awaited of in this case and from
December z, 1909 (when the new
Clerk came inn until June z, 1910,
this dlinquent recording went on by
the ex-clerk.. At that date it ceased
by law.
/ was then appointed to assess the
amount due to finish this work. I
was requested to be conservative and
not to make any charge that might
be disputed or considered excessive,
which strictly adhered to. The
amount totalled $1,338.07, out of
which an allowance was made to the
retiring Clerk of $180.10, leaving
$1157.97, which was afterwards re-
duced to the sum of $1,08O.00. And
this amount was accepted and ap-
proved by the Comptroller as basis
of settlement; all of which was
chargeable to the ineficiency or in
capacity of the Recording Clerk.
The Hon. Austin L. Crothers
while Governor appointed this
gentleman to Clerkship under the
Public Service Commission, from
which he was removed by the pres
ent regime, and l was informed by
unimpeachable authority that he
was not up to the standard required
by that office.
He is now holding the Office of
Justice of the Peace by favor of the
present Senator and has been given
monopoly of the business, as there
are only two Justices of the Peace,
north of the Chesapeake and Della
ware Canal, where eight or ten are
the usual complement. That Office
being secured to the political combi-
nation which has put him forward to
capture the Clerks Office for their
benefit on the basis of his former
service, experience and efficiency,
and here you have the cold facts and
figures from the eecords of this
Office against the mere statements of
