I put in the part of two years in a campaign for diversification of crops, and the farmers responded nobly to the appeals of the government, and met the need in big and generous way. I did my part in going out to the surround ing towns and cities for the food pre- paredness and marketing bureau which did such an unselfish service. It was organized and financed here in Bir- mingham but it's object was to reach wider than even Jefferson county and it did in a large way.

 SERVICE STARS
Connecticut Go. Announces That Every Star Will Be
 "Made Good"

Every star in the service flag o" the Connecticut Company will be made good" says a statement issued from the executive offices of the company in New Haven. When the armistice was signed there were 524 employees of the Connecticut Company in the military and naval services of the United States, or about 12 per cent. of the entire personnel of the com pany. Up to Feb. 21, 11S of these men had returned and found their old jobs waiting for them. Their old jobs, or other work, are waiting the return of the remaining 406 em- p1oyes of the company who are still in the service.
 Every man who left us to go into the service of the United States will find his job ready for him when he returns" a company official said. Positions are held open for all of our men. Some of those who went into the service have returned and said that they were going to take up some other kind of work. but the majority of them have been restored to the po- sitions they had when the war sum- moned them"
 The different divisions of the com pany were represented in the army and navy by the following numbers:
 New Haven, 149; Bridgeport, 13S; Hartford Il; Waterbury. 57: New Britain, 25; general offices. A; Derby, IT; Meriden, IA: Middletown. 10; Stamford. 8; Norwalk. 8; Torring- ton, 3.
 So far men have returned to their old positions with the company as follows:
 New Haven, 39; Bridgeport, 21; Hartford, 19; New Britain, g; general offices. 8; Derby, 5; Waterbury. 5; Meriden, 5; Stamford, 4; Torring- ton g.

ments are now under way for re- view of a large fleet of American battleshIps, cruisers, torpedoboats and submarines in the Delaware river. It is expected that a large number of the more important ships which saw service in foreign waters during the war will take part in the review. In the evening of that day a water car nival with elaborate displays of fire works will be held on the Schuylkill river, where there are natural ac- commodations for at least half a million spectators.
 HistoricaI-IndustriaI Pageant.
 For Thursday, Sept. Il, the visitors from all parts of the country will be treated to a wonderful historical ndustrial-patriotic pageant on Broad street, which will surely eclipse in elaborate detail anything ever before attempted in the country. While Philadelphia has been given credit for the holding of the first industrial parade in the country-early in the nineteenth century-it managed won derful trades displays in 1882 on the occasion of the 2ooth anniversary of the landing of William Penn; in 1887, a monster trades display on the cen tennia1 anniversary of the Constitu- tional Convention, and more recently in 1908, the 225th anniversary of the founding of Philadelphia. In this later year Philadelphia introduced in the United States the first historical pageant, portraying in floats, tab leaux etc, all important events in the history of Philadelphia. This parade required nearly four hours to pass a given point.
 In the Knights Temp1ar historical and industrial pageant the plans so far as matured provide for one of the greatest street spectacles ever wit messed in any American city.
 Lee Stewart Smith of Pittsburgh, the Grand Master of the Grand En- campment of the United States who since the termination of the war has been in communication with Knights Templar in every state, reports that never before in the history of the order has there been so much inter est shown in a triennial, and believes that representatives from every Grand Commandery in the United States and of nearly all the 1440 sub ordinate commanderies will partici- pate in the conClave week at Phtla- delphia. The reports from the most distant COmrQanGerleS located on the Pacific Coast are that several thou sand of their members will make the journey from the Pacific to the At Iantic Ocean. The Middle West states, as well as the Southwest and l the South, will be strongly represent ed, while from the central and East ern states the attendance is going to be exceedingly heavy.
 | Friday, Sept. 12, is known as At 1antic City Day, the Knights Templar 1 of New Jersey, and of Atlantic City ] particularly, being very anXiCFIs to i have all the visitors spend a day in 1 Americas greatest playground" So complete is the program with tours to the hundreds of points of his- l toricaI interest in and around Phila- de1phia, tours to the worlds leading
 industrial plants, locomotive works
 shipbuilding plants, entertainments
 conmandery receptions at the various
 state headquarters, etc, that there ! will hardly be a minute left for any of the visitors to get any rest.

 The March night sky is very rich In planets. Our map shows the To- cation of Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter In the group of the Heavenly Twins (GeminD. to the west of Castor and Pollux, Saturn little to the west of Regulus, the brightest star of the group of Leo, the Lion. In the eastern part of the field of the Can cer group Is shown the position of the planet Uranus, but it is very far away from the Earth and its brilliance Is diminished to so great an extent as to make 1t equal only to a seventh magnitude star and thus impossible for naked-eye observation.
 Mercury is also an evening star this month and must be looked for dur ing a period of a week preceding and a week following March 19. One should look toward the western hori- Eon, where the Sun has just set, and the attempts at observation should be started at the beginning of this two week period. for Mercury is very it. lusive. It never gets far away from the Sun and is always very close to
 
 with the naked eye is possible; and the horizon at sunset ts rarely free from mist and clouds, which hinder observation. Therefore it is best to start at the beginning of the period and to try every evening which seems at all promising. Mercury is not in the same class with Venus or Jupiter 1n beauty, but it is something to have seen the innermost of the Suns planet family.
 The same relative difficulty in ob servation, of course, holds for the astronomer equipped with a telescope, and as a result there is less known about the surface and physical con- ditions of Mercury than any of the other planets, with the possible ex- captions of Uranus and Neptune, which are so very far away.
 If we prolong the curve of the handle of the Great Dipper in an easterly direction, it will lead us to a very bright star of a decided or Rnge tint This Is Arcturus, in the constellation of Bootes, which in cludes also all the lesser stars lying between the Dipper (Great Bear) and Corona Borealis.- The magnitude of Arcturus is given scientifically as o.2, the same as Capella in Auriga, which, however. differs from Arcturus in color, being a pure white, with little if any yellow. Arcturus Is one hundred hght-years distant from the Earth, and in actual light-giving and heat-giving power it is 500 times as powerful as our Sun. The name Arcturus means watcher of the bear" and Bootes is the Bear Driver.

 Arcturus is particularly interesting because of the fact that it's position in the heavens now does not tally with that given by Ptolerny, the Greek astronomer of Alexandria. This may mean that the star has changed its position since that time to such a de- gree that the change Is visible to the naked eye, for Ptolemy had no such delicate position-measuring instru- ments as we now possess. Of course we know today that all stars are con- tinuously moving through space and therefore are gradually changing their location in the heavens. though the motion is imperceptible to the naked eye, even after fairly long periods of observation.
 Beta Bootes, the second brightest star in this group. is a pretty double star, of which the components can be observed even in a small telescope.
 Between the Hunting Dogs and Denebola in Leo is the constellation of Coma Berenices, Hair of Berenice. which contains a beautiful star cluster visible as a faint luminous cloud and hich gives name to the entire group. The story of the name is interesting. Berenice was the wife of Ptolemy Soter. a great king of Egypt. Before he started on a perilous expedition against the Assyrians. she vowed to sacrifice her beautiful hair to Venus if he returned in safety. AS he did return, both safe and victorious, she cut off her hair, according to her VOW, and sent 1t to the Temple, whence it soon disappeared. The I-I- the Temple astrologers to discover it's whereabouts and recover the prized tresses. Also, he threatened them with death in case of failure Naturally, their astrology failed them and their chief told the king that Jupiter himself had removed the hair from the Temple and placed it up in this constellation in the heavens; which pleased and modified th- king. The practice of astronomy these days is safer, if less romantic Coming up over the horizon is the constellation Virgo, the Virgin. This constella ton contains one beautiful white star, Spica, which does not rise until after the map time. Between Virgo and Leo is a wonderful area of sky. It contains no bright stars at all and altogether is very poor in stars, but the telescope has revealed here not less than 500 nebu1ae. Just why a small area of the sky should be so crowded with these very inter esting forms of matter is not known We do not as yet know whether ali or most of the nebulae here are sys- tematically connected. forming a sep arate universe, In which most of or all the members have 1eached about

LACKED ALL REAL GREATNESS
Attitude Of William HohenzoIIern, Stripped of Imperial Trappingsy
 Shows His True Character.

If William Hohenzollern had fallen from so high to his present state less obviously as the result of his own acts, there would be some, and even much, reluctance felt for treating him otherwise than as the victim of cruel fate. That, however, he is not, and so deliberate, as well as so serious, was his offending that he has no claim for a closing of eyes to his crimes no right to expect the tenderness of consideration he never gave.
 The chances are, apparently, that he will pass the rest of his life, not hap oily, indeed, but in retirement un- troubled by the material cares common to the great majority of mankind, and 1t Is a source of entirely legitimate satisfaction to call attention to the poor figure he cuts, now that he has been stripped of his crown, his scep- ter and his imperial robes.
 These, as a matter of fact, were all that differentiated him from other folk. In and since his downfall he has shown nothing of the heroic, noth- ing of the personal courage, of the willingness to die for a cause, that have marked so many million men in so many armies, including his own. If he sincerely believed his right to rule was divine, 1t was the most cowardly form of desertion for him to flee his country the moment he feared for his personal safety. By so doing he made certain and immediate the ruling of Germany by somebody with no pre- tense to divine authorization.
 Many another royal villain has dared to die, standing erect with face to the foe, but this poor emperor scuttles off into the unwelcoming Holland, and leaves his sons and his wife to take care of themselves! But 1t is no wonder he Is most of all afraid of his own people. He promised them vic tory and loot, only to rob them of the wealth. respect and happiness they already had in such abundant measure, and he substituted for 1t all a crush ing defeat, pfnching hunger and the contempt and detestation of the whole world.-New York Times.

A new method of fighting the U-boat menace Is for the attacked vessel to drop a depth charge as the torpedo approaches. In daylight the wake of the torpedo can usually be seen quite cleafly. When the depth charge ex- plodes 1t either causes the premature explosion of the torpedo or else diverts the deadly missile from its course. This was found out quite by accident.
