AN IMPORTANT LINK.

With the government actively interested in
the development of needed inland waterways and
with excellent prospect of extensive public work
being started in various parts of the Country, the
present would seem a most propitious time for
pressing the Mobie-Pensacola barge canal.
The need for the canal is generally recognized.
It would complete the Warrior river system,
making possible barge delivery at port direct
ly on the gulf, with tremendous saving to ship
pers. 1t would also be an important link in the
proposed Atlanti-Mississippi inland waterway
It is not extravagant to predict that the Mo-
bile-Pensacola canal would transport more
freight than any other inland waterway of equal
length in the country.
Nature has supplied the greater part of this
important unit-comparatively little dredging
need be done and the cost would indeed be small
compared with the saving of time and money
which the canal would make possible.
Illinois and Ohio are taking measures to force
immediate action of the $3.50, 900 900 canal which
is to connect Chicago, Toledo and Cincinnati.
Similar projects are being promoted all over the
country. None is more important than ours and
now is the time to get busy
The Huns won't really know how to appreciate
republic until they cultivate habit of telling
the chief executive how it should be done.
Ebert goes on the job with the comforting as
surance that he can't make things worse than
they
Fame awaits the man who can invent shorter
and uglier way of saying Bolsheviki.
Repentance is usually no more than desire
to avoid consequence.

Great Britain is inaugurating a system under
which the workmen will have a1crt in the man.
agement of all government worm hops, plants
and yards.
The object of the scheme is to insure griev-
ances being handled Immediately they arise, thus
preventing strikes and securing harm9hy in the
industry.
1t is recognized as a step toward practical
community of interests and when it has so far
developed to include privately owned indus
tries it will put end to the world-long friction
between capital and labor.
The Socialists have ever advocated such plan,
but have failed to suggest sound and equitable
basis for it's application Some manufacturers
have attempted to bring the workmen into closer
touch with the administration of the business in
which they are employed, but results have not
been entirely satisfactory.
The British program seems to offer ground
for better understanding between employer and
employed and may end the constant struggle
which often is inimical to both.

HIGH LICENSE CHECKS SALOONS.

Panama has found in high license effective
means of checking the liquor traffic.
Under the new law Lenses cost $3.50 month,
figure which only the better class of saloons
meet.
The number of saloons decreased last month
from $50 to 100. Of the hundred remaining,
many only secured licenses for the month of
March and will go out of business April 1.
The Panamaian government is enforcing the
recent degree against sales of liquor to men of
the American navy and army, which provides
for loss of license, fine and Jail sentence for
the saloon keeper convicted of violations. 1t IS
claimed that all demands of the United States
army officers for the control of the liquor traf
fic met by the present law, which will be en-
forced by the police under supervision of the
American commander in the Canal Zone.
While the attempt to make the republic bone
dry was unsuccessful the decrease in number of
saloons is gratifying to the prohibitionists, who
predict that Panama will be wholly in the dry
column next year.

He was so decided that I became

RABBIT SWlMs AND FiGHTs7
San Franeleco Park Pollceman's Re-
port Leaves Old Theory Com.
pIeteIy High and Dry.

One by one the old theories are re-
vised or upset. There is widespread
tradition, backed by generations Of OBJ
servation, that rabbit can neither
swim nor fight. But along comes Ser
geant MCGEE Of the San Francisco
park police with bombshell and when
the noise and smoke has cleared away
the germ Of a new theory is left, even
though a hitherto unknown fact has
not been established.
According to MCGEE, quoted by the
San Francisco Chronicle, plain,
everyday cottontail has suddenly ap-
peared on the island in Stow lake and
driven everything else away. Never
before has a rabbit been seen on the
island, which is separated from the
mainland at it's nearest point by fifty
yards of water.
"Albert Chacquette, guardian Of the
lake and its waterfowl, was the first
person to discover the presence Of the
rabbit on the island" said Sergeant
MCGEE in his report. From the main
land shore he saw it in furious combat
with big setting brant. The battle
ended in the bird being driven into the
water and swimming, with loud
squawks Of ,dismay and protest, to the
mainland. Every breeding mudhen,
goose and duck was similarly assailed
and expelled. Chacquette says, leaving
the rabbit in undisputed possession Of
the island.
"Chacquette," McGee's report con-
tinues, "has a theory that the rabbits
new-found pugnacity may be due to its
browsing too freely on the leaves Of
the juniper bushes that grow thickly
on the island. His idea is that the
leaves fermented in the animals stom-
ach, creating gin, which, as anyone
knows who has tried it, might make a
rabbit feel brave enough to tickle
tigers nose and give him courage to
attempt the swimming Of the Golden
Gate"
Anyway, the rabbits on the island
and nobody has admitted helping him
to get there. Also, the waterfowl that
usually breed there at this time Of
year are gone. There may be no con-
nsction, but there's mystery in 1t all
that nobody seems to be able to ex-
plain.

Farmers Exchanges Successful.

County farm bureaus in New Hamp-
shire are conducting exchanges with
excellent results. One hundred and
twenty-five farmers attended a meet
ing to organize an exchange In Bel
KNAPP county and in Is minutes raised
$4,000 of the $1,000 capital needed.
The members Of the Grafton county
bureau will purchase 50 tons Of lime
stone this spring through their ex-
change. Hillsboro farmers have pool
ed orders for fertilizers and have
placed them with dealers. Merrimack
county farmers in four weeks unload
ed s cars Of grain and 300 tons OF
lime. The February business Of the
exchange In Rockingham county
amounted to $500. Stratford county
farmers have formed a cooperative
grain company and purchased a mill.
The capital stock is $4,000 in shares
at $25 each. In all, 40 tons Of ferti-
lizers and 80 tons of limestone have
been ordered.
