EDITORIAL
C. G. H., Editor

We take our machine in hand to answer the scorching criticism di rected at us in these columns last week by the editors pro tenn, H. B. and J. K. McB.
 Quoting from the critics diatribe:
 In the first place your stuff is too local, it (the punctuation is theirs) fairly reeks with the atmosphere of your five-acre ranch with all the petty details of irrigating, holding the shack up while the wind is blowing, the various kinds of ticks that get on your three sheep, and the feeble pulsations of your stunted brain, while the old nag is dragging you hOmeward of an evening""
 All that is only ''in the first place. What our critics had in mind for the second third, etc. places, we shall never know, for they failed to point out the other faults.
 Your respondent pleads guilty to each and every count, except insofar as the sheep are concerned In this respect we have the temerity to sug gest that the critics are somewhat in error, of their base" if we may stoop to common parlance. We have all five sheep and no ticks, except a straw one
 As to the other counts, upon which we plead guilty, we have for our de- fense, extenuating circumstances. You know, something like the young crook, who when hailed into court set up the defense that they never had a chancet;" and some kind hearted woman takes their side and tells the court fits all due to their early en- Vironment"
 You see, we were brought up in a large city. And when we are planted down in this wonderful country on a small ranch, with a nag and sheep and chickens; and an irrigation ditch that runs water whenever the ZanjerO takes the notion; and a little old shack that rattles in the wind like dice in the box and all that-why, can you blame us for wanting to tell the world about these phenomena?
 And we are not so sure that our rural lyrics don't strike a sympathetic cord in the heart of our reader. A reporter for the Camers Back was sent out to interview representative citizens as to their attitude on the subject matter appearing in oul weekly The response was generous the principals expressing their views very freely on this question of the day. We print herewith some of these interviews. picked at random iron those at hand:

Its Identity

T came near having a fight with a guest yesterday" said the landlord oi the tavern at Peeweecuddyhump. He said there was blue- bottle fly in his huckleberry pie. I said there wasn't and asked if he thought he knowed more about running a first-class hotel than I did. He said if he didn't he'd have his head bored for the simples. I told him what he could do, and he paid his bill and left"
 Well, was it fly?" asked a friend.

TEE PEEYJL'S WRITES

Dear Sir:
 I wish to inquire if I can obtain | through your columns a dependable l recipe for making tomato catsup. Time | and again have I searched your pages for the helpful household hints that would mean so much to me if they were there. How am I to make over my new tricolette? If l cannot turn to my faithful fireside companion, The Camers Back in my hour of need
 My fifteen-year r-old daughter per sists in (deleted). She does this all the time. Is there any cure for this? Also, she objects when the young man go with wants to hold my hand at the front gate, which I occasionally permit in order to keep in touch with modern methods, etc. If 1 pay my own upkeep may I not order my own life? If you maintain a department or bureau in Washington to answer questions please advise me, that l may enjoy the benefits at once.
 l would not go so far as to criticise the c. B. but must say that I cannot understand why you have had so much statistics and data about stockings, or soX, I believe is the word you so ire quently used in the paper when you are running Back.

 One doesn't often seek for humor in a church, but the other Sunday con siderable portion of a congregation nearly burst into laughter. The mirth was occasioned by a little boy, who was being brought to service for the first time. When the choir entered in its surplices he whispered decidedly audibly:

Buys Nine Circus Tents
Paul w. Gilman Gets Great Trade
at Sheriff's Sale

Sheriff NJ. G. Garfield only had one
bid for his auction Of circus tents
q. the Playground and the aggrega-
ton was bid off to Paul w. Gilman
for $3.50. This included a big tent
with seating capacity Of 1,50O win
rs many seats, four carbide lights,
and eight small tents. At the pres
ent price of canvas it would cost
nearly $4,000 to duplicate the prop
crty today, so Mr.. Gilman is quite
satisfied with his trade. He is asso-
ciated in his venture with Joseph II.
Moore and the two will rent the tents
at the coming fair, using the big teri
for livestock and the smaller tents
on the midway. The tents are now
stored in the Gilman Brothers barn
at the Playground.
The tents were formerly owned by
the Coop & Lent circus which eXhl-
bited here August 2. When the show
came here attachments amounting to
So 900 were placed on the property
by a Lancaster law firm and Searies
&. Graves of this place. These were
brought in the interests of Carrie A.
Bennett of Conway, N. H., who
claimed she received internal inju-
ries when the tent fell or her during
the performance. They promised Mr..
Garfield at the time they left St.
Johnsbury that they would turn over
their gate receipts until the claim
was paid and Mr.. Garfeld's son,
Stanley, accompanied them on their
tour of the state to protect his eli
ent's interests. Business was poor at
Hardwick and the show collapsed at
Morrisville. Stanley Garfield shipped
the tents to St. Johnsbury and they
were auctioned off 10 their new own
ers as above related.

Sends Note to Berlin.

The Big Four" sent note to
Berlin yesterday, protesting the sink
ing of the German fleet in Scapa
Flow and the burning of the French
battle flag in Berlin, following the
presentation of the report of the
special legal committee, in which it
was declared that these incidents
were IAN example of the spirit which
desire admittance to the league Of
nations on an equal footing"
Sinking Violates Al1nistice.
Sinking of the German fleet in
Scapa Flow is not only a violation
of the armistice, but can only be re-
vance of the conditions of peace"
the allied powers declared in their
note. The same was also said to be
true of the burning of the French
battle flag in Germany. 1T is evil
dent that any repetition Of acts 1ika
those, must have a very unfortunate
eject upon the future operation of
the treaty, which Germany is about
to sign" said the note. Notice was
given that the allies would demand
reparation for the sinking, and trial
of the persons responsible.
The Big Four" is expected to con-
slider today the intercepted wireless
message from a German army COM
mander, indicating his intention to
attack the Poles as soon as the peace
treaty has been signed.
Poincare Will Entertain.
Wilson and other prominent allied
peace delegates, will be the guests

plans to leave Paris Saturday night
after the treaty is signed and will
sail from Brest Sunday.

He stated the paper changed TO
daily on advice of Attorney General
Ford, who held the defense councils
order was null and void.
With Dansborne on the stand at
the opening of the afternoon session,
Wheeler attempted to bring out that
the defense councils order, stopping
of changing weeklies to dailies, was
meant especially to stop the Bulle-
tin and that no other paper was men
toned. Objections by Loble were
sustained in each instance and eN-
ceptions were noted. A. w. Winters,
stenographer for the public service
commission, who made transcript
of the proceedings at the defense
council meeting on September g.,
identified transcript. He admitted
the original notes of the proceedings
were destroyed. Attempt to identify
copy of transcript as a true copy
was objected to by Donovan,
but objection was overruled by
Judge Word. Attorney Donovan con-
