TRAIN DERAILED AT
 STEVENSON

Stevenson, Conn.,, Oct. 1.-The de- railment of part of a freight train near this place late last night dam aged both tracks of the Botsford- New Haven line of the Berkshire di- vision of the New Haven road and caused the blocking of the eastbound tracks until nearly noon today. Traf- fic was sent around the wreck. A wrecking crew from New Haven re- paired the damage. No one was in jured.
 least 252, ,o00 were essential to agri- culture, and that other vital indus tries would absorb another 4S,00o. This left a balance of only lO0 900 single men, fit and unfit, available in Ireland for military service at a time when S.OO0,O0O EngiIshmen were safely ensconced in British factories.
 This tremendous shortage of man. power in Ireland must be considered. For it has from earliest times been the English governmental policy to so conduct it's Irish affairs as to wipe out the manhood (and the woman hood, as welD of that country.
 England would have the Irish sit uation adjusted by making Ireland a non-Irish country.
 In 1844 Ireland had about 5,O00,- 900 cattle and 9,0OO,OO0 people.
 In 1914 Ireland had more than 10,- 100000 cattle and only little more than 100000 people,
 These figures are eloquent. Eng lands administration of Ireland had obviously favored the raising of cattle and the extinction of Irishmen.
 Sim F'ein well knew this, and, after the first period Of generous volunteer ing was over, determined to prevent a further diminution of Ireland's population; 1t blocked recruiting by declaring that the first duty of Irish men in the battle for democracy was to preserve the safety and rights of Ireland, which had been wagfng this self-same battle for more than 700 years. This could not be accomplish ed by the wip;ng out of the remaining handful of young Irish manhood.
 If Ireland had recruited men at the rate that England would have have had her do it-while English men stayed at home-the Irish Ma tion would now be nearer extinction than Serbia or Belgium
 The British program of Irish en- listment, like the earlier British pro- grams of evictions, throttled indus | tries, artificially created famines and ] enforced emigration, threatened the l Gaelic nation with death. Yet, in | spite of this threat, Ireland did her l share.

blankets which have been soaked In
the solution Reverse the tubs and
repeat the process, adding solution as
it is used up.
Leave covered for several hours or
over right. Spread the seed and dry
it if not to be seeded Immediately
Another popular method is to sprin-
kle the solution on the seed in a tight
wagon box, shoveling it wet into the
seeder in the field.
For Barley.
The same process as for wheat is
good. AS some barley diseases re-
quire longer time, it is recommend
ed that half dozen barrels be filed
with the solution, one pint of full
strength formaldehyde to thirty gal
Ions of water, and the barley sub
merged in loose gunny sacks for pc
Rod of two hours, after which they
are laid on the top of the barrels to
drain. Grain so treated must be thor
oughly dried or it may sprout.
For Oats.
Pour the oats on clean canvas and
sprinkle the solution Zone pint to
forty gallons of water) with an ordi-
nary sprinkling can, until all the mass
is moist enough to pack in the hand.
Cover with sacks or blankets for
several hours or over night. The
dry" method is also to be recon-
mended. Dilute one pint of formal
dehydo with one mint of water in an
ordinary spray gun. Have one man
shovel over the grain; another man
spraying each shovel full This proc
ess has the advantage that it does not
wet the grain enough to swell it. It
may be sacked at once.

EXPERT WARNINGS ON MEM

the proper subjects and locations of
memorials of great events.
We have gone far since the Civil
War, and already there is a fairly
wide appreciation of the fact thai fl
cures of soldiers and sailors turned
out by a granite quarry are not just
the things to stand the artistic test
of time. The art expert in Boston,
showed lantern slides of some of the
famed fountains of Paris, of the Joan
of Arc statues and of many memori-
al bridges. and columns. The Cam
panile at Venice was shown as zone
of the most beautiful pieces, of art in
the world" The Washington Monu-
ment at The National Capital was con-
sidered beautiful in every way, not on
ly design but because it stands in
setting that is perfect.

arches" because they are likely 20 en-

WHY BOOZE HAD TO GO.

Why did booze cave in so suddenly?
After resisting fierce onslaughts for
years, why should Il have fled in dis
order almost in a day?
Of course, those onslaughts had had
their effect. The appeal on the side of
good morals had created an atmos-
phere. But the deciding factor was
not moral but economic.
Booze received is heaviest and it's
fatal blow when big corporations dis
covered they had no place for drink
ers, when athletes had to cut out drink
ing to keep fit, when the war indus
tries found they mus enforce pro-
hibition to produce the stuff the gov
eminent needed. When the nation
finally discovered that booze was
hurting it's efficiency the states tum-
bled over other ratify the amendment.

(Nationa1 Crop Improvement Seryice)
tn HERE is tremendous loss
every year from easily prevent
able grain diseases. While the
smuts of wheat, barley and oats are
not communicable from one grain to
the other, the most prevalent smut in
each Of the three grains may be con-
trolled by soaking in dilute solution
of formaldehyde.
The principle is the same, although
the application of the formaldehyde is
somewhat different for wheat, for bar
ley and for oats.
For Wheat.
Mix one pound of full strength for
maldehyde solution in forty gallons OF
water. Provide two tubs or other
containers, placing one above the
other, as shown in the illustration.
Pour several gallons of the solution
into the upper tub. After having
carefully recleaned the seed, sub
merge half bushel or more in the
upper tub. All trash, shrunken and
immature kernels, many smut balls
and weed seeds, will float and may be
skinned off. This process serves a
double purpose. Stir until all grain is
soaked and no more rises to the sur
face.
Take short piece Of hose, sub
merge in the liquid in the top tub and
quickly lower one end of it into the
lower tub. This will siphon off the
liquid, which can be used over again
Warning! Don't suck the hose to
start the siphon, or you will wish you
hadn't. Dump the damp grain on a
