OLD CASTLES TO BE RENTED
Structures of Naworth and DouSAes
Date Back to FeudaI Days in
Great Britain.

Naworth castle, the ancient baronial
seat of the lords Of Gilsland, the homo
of the Towards, earlS Of Carlisle, is
to be let furnished for a term of years.
The castle stands in a park of son
acres to the south of tho River
Irthing, near Brampton. The original
character of this feudal stronghold,
first mentioned in the reign of Rish-
ard III, remains unspoiled, Though 1t
has been modernized as a place Of
residence. Armor, pictures, tapestry
and antique furniture of great value
adorn the banqueting hall and other
rooms. Shooting over ten thousand
acres and trout fishing are among the
sporting attractions of Naworth. YES
tiges of the great Roman wall are
still visible in the district, and an oc-
cupier of antiquarian tastes could find
matter for interesting speculations as
to the origin of other features of the
countryside near Brampton, including
what are supposed to be the traces OF
a Danish encampment.

to be let for a long term furnished,
with 10000 acres of moorland. A

Mary TREES &C TO WASTE
Might De Gained by Proper ut.II-
zation of Paper.

The amount OF waste paper collect
ed in all OF Great Britain was about
1000 tons week In 1914. BY 1913 this
had been increased TO 5000 tons per
week. or an increase of approximately
800 per It, said ii. l.. Baldensperger,
chief of The waste reclamation service,
United Stnses department OF COM
merce. In Il speech 10 the Federation of
Women's Clubs.
Waste material is the protector of
our natural resources. Waste paper,
utilized i'm the manufacture Of other
paper material, serves as substitute
for wood pulp. 1t requires eight trees
OF mature growth TO produce a ton of
paper pulp. Every ton of waste paper
which can be substituted will save
eight trees for other uses. In our
urban centers we send annually TO the
dump approximately Is tons OF disable
waste material for every 1000 inhabi-
tants, and 20 per cent Of this Tonnage
is made up OF waste paper.
Based upon the approximation of
the present population OF our country,
we are sending annually to the dump
at least 10000 tons of waste paper, or
twice as much paper as was collected
in all Of Great Britain In 1918. This
amount represents the substituted
power for Mt least 100000 trees OF
mature growth"

for the New England people.

Some of the reasons why the New
England farm has lost out in compe-
tition with other industries may be
found to exist in the lack of scien-
tiic methods applied to farming, as
compared with other industries.
Again, due to inadequate purchasing
or sales or advertising agencies, ag-
riculture has not benefited by eff
cient organization. Furthermore, pos
sibly owing to these reasons them
selves, farming has not been able to
secure the necessary credit aids and
facilities as have other industries.
The Farm and Food Foundation
intends to remove these causes of the
decline in agriculture by assisting
the farmer to organize farmers ex-
changes and such other approved ag-
encies as may be deemed necessary.
The banks of New England are to
be urged by members of the Foun-
dation to assist New England agri-
culture in every financial way. That
the farmer has often been at a dis
advantage owing to need of capital
is we'll known fact, and readily
available financial assistance will be
of vital benefit to agriculturists.
Another feature of the Foundation
will be to assist whenever possible,
young men to obtain an agricultur-
al education and give them sufficient
financial backing to start farming. Bv
this and other means already enum-
Grated, the Foundation hopes, finally
to bring back under cultivation the
five million acres of land in New Eng
land which are now lying idle. In
addition, the Foundation will encour-
age and help in every way it can to
re-establish and extend New Eng
lands live stock industry.
All of these measures the Foun-
dation hopes to accomplish, not bv
itself alone, let it be thoroughly un-
derstood, but in cooperation with or
supplementary to the work of the AS

a class of machinery mainly imported

by Germany, while in Glasgow toy
making has superseded war material
and gives employment to numbers Of

SOLVE THE
Fl. G. L. PROBLEM
Prominent Business Leaders
Are Behind Important
Movement.

Industrial leaders of New England
have organized in "a determined stand
to force down the cost of living, since
no problem looms so large in the
minds of every individual at present.
Every legitimate means to solve this
momentous problem successfully will
be employed. That is why New Eng
lands foremost commercial leaders
manufacturers, bankers, merchants
have organized a movement to bring
down high food prices, principally
through establishing closer co-opera-
ton between farmer and consumer.
Farmers and industrial leaders have
Joined hands in the fight against food
profiteers and hoarders.
The Association is known as the
New England Farm and Food Founda-
ton and already considerable sum
of money has been pledged to carry
out it's aim of rehabilitating agri-
culture in this section, putting the
farmer on his feet and saving the
pocket of the ultimate purchaser.
1t is recognised that, unfortunately
the farmer in the United States and
in New England in particular, has
no efficient marketing organization;
he has no proper means of distribu-
ton of his product, one of the reasons
for high living costs. One advan-
tage of this Foundation is to inject
proper organization methods and
proper distribution. This will rebound
of course to the mutual benefit of
producer and customer.
Under the prevailing conditions,
there is considerable waste of food
products There are frequent gluts
of certain of these commodities on
some markets, while it may be there
Connecticut western news., 1919-08-14

are scareities of the same commod-
tiles on other nearby markets, thus
demoralizing the industry and dis
couraging production. There is CON
siderable boarding by profteers and
manipulators, with consequent dis
couragement to the farmer.
Proper organization, therefore, I'M
der the Foundations auspices, is con-
sidered the only means to prevent
boarding and eliminate profteering.
The New England Farm and Food
Foundation will act as a regulating
force upon these men.
The Food and Farm Foundation
will not duplicate any work that has
been done by similar existing organ
izations. Its principal duty will be
to assist and reinforce the efforts of
such bodies along practical lines of
agricultural improvement, increased
production and economic distribution
through the raising of funds and
loans of money, since many of these
associations are at present handi-
capped by lack of finances. Thus
the Farm and Food Foundation will
not be in reality a directly operating
organization. The Eastern States
Agricultural and Industrial EXPOSE
ton committees, the Farmers Ex-
change and others will be part of the
media through which the Foundation
will operate.
1t is deplorable fact that agricul-
ture in New England has been stead
lily declining during the past half CEN
fury despite the fact that it is the
basic industry upon which every other
industry primarily depends, while our
farming communities have steadily
decreased in population, the younger
element having abandoned the farms
for the cities. At the present time
the New England cities are largely
dependent on the West and South for
their food supply. The situation, it
will thus be seen, is largely respon-
sible for the increased cost of living

the production of Portland and other

The decrease in output was the eff

MI ANARCHY I'm

THE 100000 LIBEL CASE
AGAINST TRIBUNE.
WON'T TELL "HALF-TRUTHS"
Noted Divine Says If Manufacturers
Theories Are Anarchistic Then
He Is In Danger Of eeecm-
ing Anarchist Himself.

Mt. Clemens, Mich.-The Chicago
Tribune rested its defense in the
S1,000,000 libel suit which Henry Ford
has brought against it after spending
"2vcc weeks and two 1 rs IL 81 Il -.
ing to prove that it was justified III
calling the manufacturer an "anar-
chist." The 18th week of the trial
opened with Ford counsel Offering re-
buttal testimony against The Tri-
bune's defense.
The first witness for Mr.. Ford was
the RI Rev. Charles D. Williams, d.
D., Episcopal bishop of Michigan, who
appeared on the stand in rebuttal of
the testimony of Prof. ]. S. Reeves,
professor of political science in the
University of Michigan who had pre-
viously testified that Henry Ford
views were distinctly anarchistic.
Bishop Williams said that Mr..
Ford's views were far from being
anarchistic and were, in fact, Chris
tian, common and often commonplace
The Bishop refused to be led py

insisted on telling "the whole truth"
Asked whether he thought Henry
Ford's declaration that all armies

quoted, patriotism is the last resort

the witness. 81 have often seen it So"

81 am afraid" continued the Bishop,
that if this Is anarchy agree with il
mostly"
Ford counsel then called William
A. Dunning, professor of history and
political philosophy in Columbia Uni
versity, to testify concerning Mr..
Ford's theories and utterances.
when Henry Ford" said counsel,
said that we should stop talking a.
bout one factory, one state and one
country and begin to talk about the
world, was he preaching the doctrine
of anarchy"
mo that is the general thought of
cosmopolitanism - human inclusive
ness; it has permeated all speculation
on political philosophy ever since
there was such a philosophy"
'Ts there anything peculiarly anar-
chistic about it?"
mo"
'T3 it in any way essential to anar-
chism?"
mo"
"Mr. Ford also said that he believed
humanity could make mistakes but
could do nothing worse; he said he
believed everything tended toward
the good, and that even the terrible
world war would result in blessing to
the world. Is there anything anarchistic
about those ideas?"
"They were commonplace before an
anarchist was ever heard of. The
idea that man is naturally good is
the basis of Plato's morals. 1t has
permeated moral philosophy ever
since"
Prof. Dunning was then asked to
run through the articles and inter-
views sponsored by Henry Ford and
indicate the portions which would
convince a critical examiner that Mr.
Ford was not an anarchist.
The witness promptly pointed out
numerous references to the govern
ment and to the use of the ballot
which showed, he said, that Mr.. Ford
believed in the orderly processes of
government and therefore could not
be an anarchist. In no writing or
interview, he said, could he find a
single indication that Mr.. Ford was
an anarchist, either In the common
or philosophical conception of that
term.
