MASTERS or HIGH FINANCE
New England Youngsters Raised
Hawks From Eggs and Collected
Remunerstive Bounty.

FreetOwn, Mass. will break a long
standing custom this year and pay no
bounty on the hawk. After a long
and heated session of the town fathers
at Assonet IL was unanimously agreed
that the debit side of Freetown budget
had been taken too heavily by this item
when Moderator Nichols disclosed the
leak in the towns financial condition.
Every spring when the nests of the
hawks are filled with eggs" explained
the moderator "the country boys
Skinned the trees. took out the eggs,
carried them home. put them under
setting hens and Matched them out
and thus raised numerous young hawks
M no cost whatever. Then the boys
clipped their wings 10 keep them home,
and when they had grown full size
killed them, took them TO the town
Office and obtained their bounties."

Too Many Eggs.

My neighbor and l had been striv-
ing for long time to see who could
produce the most eggs from n certain
number of chickens. Each day when
l met him at the Office and told him
how many eggs l got he invariably had
two or three more than /. So one day
l made up my mind TO Guido him. and
after putting several eggs that had
been laid the day before into the nests
we went 10 a funeral and upon our
return l invited him in TO see my coop
and chickens, and 10 my horror the
hens had laid more eggs during my alb
sence. ~He remarked: You have
more eggs than chickens" All | could
say was that | didn't gather them yes

ToIuol Output.

To give an approximate idea of the
scope of this industry, one need only
compare the small output of pure
toluol in 1912 and 1913. for which
years it was approximately 10000 gal
Ions, with the estimated output for the
year just past (191s). during which
period il is hoped that the output will
have exceeded 20O0O.OOO gallons. Prac-
tically all of this increase has been
possible because of the recovery of
toluOl from coke-oven gas and city
supplies.

German Election
Shows the People
Favor a Republic

Geneva. March ,. - Professor
Herman F'ernau. author of the fam
Gus book declaring Germany re-
sponsible for the world war, 'Jux
Accuse" analyzes the results of the
recent election in Germany in the
Journal De Geneve as follows:
In favor of a republic - nearly
100000 votes with 260 deputies,
consisting of Majority Socialists,
Democrats and Independents.
In favor of the old regime -
nearly 100000 votes with 63 depu-
ties. consisting OF German National
and Peoples parties.
The Catholic Centre, the writer
says, with nearly 5,500,O00 votes
and SO deputies, continues in an
cquivocal attitude. Professor Fer
nau. in conclusion, says that the
allies must make peace with the
German people represented by the
100000 voters. and not with the
government of Scheidemann (the
new German chancellor) and Count
Won Brockdorff-Ra (the for
eign minister).

Rorke Says All
Can Get Hearing

Representative William r. Rorke
OF Philadelphia, sponsor for the bill
10 permit Sunday concerts and en-
tertainments of an educational ma
ture in statement issued to-day de-
clared that the bill was not aimed
to destroy any religious ideas and
that opportunity for hearings would
be given this month.
Mr.. Rorke said: There seems to
be some misunderstanding as to the
purport of this Act. 1t does not, nor
was it the intention to destroy the
Sabbath, nor does it permit a conti-
mental Sunday or n wide-open day.
1t does provide that after seven
o'clock in the evening orchestral
concerts, lectures and other enter
tainments of an educational char
acter be permitted. [ consider it a
very wise step in modern legislation
at this time of social, economical
and political unrest existing. 1t has
met with the approval of a great
many citizens of stability and char
acter who are God-fearing men and
are believers in Sunday Worship. l
have also received letters of COM
mendation for this measure from
leaders in professional, artistic and
religious life of the community. 1t
is intended for the good of the gen.
eral masses, and not for the pur-
pose of destroying religious ideas or
customs. We purpose to have every
body heard on this measure, both
those in favor of the measure and
its opponents, and for that purpose
the committee will meet at the
places to be designated in the very
near future. in Philadelphia, Mon
day, March tenth; in Pittsburgh,

that is necessary to destroy the
power of the State over any of its
industrial and commercial activities
is for the general government to as
sumo control without let or license
on the part of the State.
But We have felt the encroach-
ments of the Federal authorities in
ways more dangerous because of the
indirect, insidious methods by which
they sought to accomplish their de-
signs. Tho Controller of the Cur
rency has tremendous powers ever

cised his powers so as to punish his
enemies and reward his friends. l

opportunity for such discrimination,

State as such is not endangered.
The tendency is to concentrate
power in the Federal Government
and then to concentrate the power
in the Federal Government and then
to concentrate the power of the
Federal Government in the Execu-
tive. The war has given both oc-
occasion and excuse for the acceIera-
tion of the movement toward con-
tralization. Such power is ever
jealous and is always seeking to add
to itself.
Already its hand has been
stretched out from Washington in
the effort to lay hold of things
which have heretofore been held
sacred to the States. This disposi-
tion is manifested in the endeavor
of the Federal authorities to estab-
lish the rates and regulate the serv-
ice for the inta-State business of
the railroads and the telegraph and
telephone lines, in utter disregard of
the rights of either the owners or
the State authorities.

AS a result of the inspection to be
made by Mr.. McClain at the en-
ployment agencies throughout the
State this week there will be a
cleavage of the federal and State ac-
tivities in that direction. The
United States government has as
sumed protectorate over this bust
ness and pushed the Stats, which ap-
propriated considerable money for
the project almost off the sign
boards. The system was a fine
thing when there were many Jobs
due to war and not many mon, but
no conditions are reversed and with
congress disinclined to vote much
money the state will assert itself
pretty vigorously.

Bulgaria is Facing
a Financial Crisis

Sofia, Bulgaria, March 3.-Bul-

is asserted. The war cost the coun-
try over $780, 100000 while its es-
timated wealth is only so, 200. 00O,-
600. The national debt before the
war was $160.000,000.
OF the national debt as it now
stands Bulgaria owes to Germany
$3.50, 100000 which was advanced in
instalments of ten millions, but last
winter Germany discontinued this
practice. and demanded payment for
munitions in cash. Germany, evil
dently was not in the business of
helping its Allies for nothing, as the
prices charged Bulgaria for gas
masks clearly indicate. For each
mask it charged sic and a Sheep
skin, as compared with the cost of
