BEST FARM MAKES.

Connecticut farmers are rapidly awakening to the fact that in their markets they have their greatest natural assets. These markets rep resent the Connecticut farmers one great advantage over the west, over Canada and. over the world at large.
 There is no state in this country, no area in the world, where the far mer nas a better market than has the Connecticut farmer. Within one hun- dred miles of Middletown, Conn, are more than ten million persons. Three fourths of the farmers of the state are within ten miles of two city markets. These markets are ours for the products we can raise which the market demands. They are good mar kets. They represent hundreds of thousands of buyers who insist on the best goods, upon steady supply ahd upon dependable market.
 They are accessible markets. An admirable and growing system of state roads connect nearly all of our considerable producing areas with the markets of the state.
 The above facts are taken from a little folder prepared by I. c. Davis, marketing specialist for the extension service of the Connecticut Agricultu- ral College. for distribution in con- nection with an exhiibit at Farmers Week at Hartford, Feb. 9-14. The purpose is to help point out Connecti- cuts superior advantages as an ag- ricaltural state.

 The puEpose of the contest is to in crease egg production and poultry mems profits by working for definite egg production every month in the year through eliminating low produc- ton every month in the year through eliminating low producing hens and stimulating an interest in : better housing, careful feeding and improved poultry management.

Livery poultry keeper has a favorite green feed for his flock. Usually it is one that can be supplied with least expense and effort. Providing it is relished by the fowls, there probably is little difference in what kind of green feed is supplied. United States Department of Agriculture specialists say. Cabbages, turnips and beets are all suitable for this purpose. The

DO NOT ALLOW EGGS TO CHILL. Eggs for matching should be col leeted two or three times day in freezing weather to prevent chilling. Broody hens allowed to sit on eggs Tn the laying nests all day may hurt the matching qualities of the eggs. Eggs in large numbers are general ly kept in a cabinet or turning rack, for convenience in handling, in a room where the temperature is between 50 degrees and so degrees F., if possible, although they will stand considerable variation. It is not necessary to turn eggs kept only for a few days, but 1t is advisable to turn eggs daily which are to be kept over a week.

1t may not seem true to everyone
but IN my opinion, a stranger is the
bestjudge of the civic improvements
Of a city. By a stranger, | do not
mean one who is here but a day, but
also newcomer who has been here
long enough to become acquainted
with local conditions.
A stranger can gain a better per-
spectlva and can make better compari-
/ sons than a regular resident and so.
can see more clearly where improve
m ants ought to be made Too often
the resident of city believes because
certain conditions have obtained in
the past and obtain now, they mus
obtain in the future A stranger sees
that such conditions need not be.

and cities both larger and smaller
than Wisconsin Rapids and in every
case. [ have made it my business to
become affiliated with the library N
the town where l happened to be
resident. In comparing the library
here with libraries in similar cities,
| take pride in saying that the library
here ranks with the average, or per-
haps little better than the average
for city of this size. You have here
an excellent collection of books, but
the library building does not come up
to the standard of the collection of
books that it houses.
Your other civic improvements are
excellent for a city of this size, but
your library building while good,
should be better. The library build
ing, while it need not be large, should
be of an architecture that will make
1t both an advertisement for the city
and the collection of books that it
houses. The architecture of the lib
rary building should lead the architec-
ture of the city just as the library

make any use of the library at all.

is being taken to make Wood County s
showing the best in the State.
Wood County at the present time
has total of sixty-three cheese fac
tories. An indication of their import
ance in the dairy industry of the Coun-
ty maybe shown in their production
of cheese for 1919, which was a,4O5,-
$50 pounds. In dollars and cents the
industry approaches a three million
return as its annual totals. Wood
County holds about 18th place among
the II counties of the state in the
MURDER of factories and also about
the same place in the matter of pro-
duction of cheese. Our aim is to
stand first in quality Of the product.
Following the Convention in Milwau-
kee in January, steps will be taken to
perfect an organization of the cheese
makers of Wood County, and through
this organization to put Wood County
Cheese at the top-and to develop the
industry in general. 1t shall be the
aim of this organization to make
Wood County the center of the Cheese
State of the World in more ways than
merely that of geographical position.
Factory owners and cheesemakers
are urged to take an active part in
boosting for Wood County at the Con-
Vention. Let US cooperate to make
the best showing possible in Milwau-
kee next month-and then to plan for
the show at the 1921 State Fair. Re-

WHAT TOWNLEY RULE MEANS

Our attention was brought this
week to a case which is of vital in
terest to law abiding citizens living
in a territory threatened with the
rule of Townley.
Several years ago, young lady
graduated from the normal course OF
the Sank Centre schools. She did not
at once enter the teaching profession
but within the past few weeks she
has taken up her residence in North
Dakota.
A short time ago she applied for a
teachers certificate in North Dakota
and according to advices here, was
informed that if she would join the
Non-partisan League, she would i'm
mediately be given a school. Other
wise she must qualify for the posi-
ton.
May it be said to the lady's credit
that she was too independent to be-
come the dupe of Townley, and she
is now endeavoring to secure her
credentials through the Sank Cent
tire schools that she might qualify
for her teaching profession in North
Dakota without soiling her skirts by
bringing them in contact with Town
ley's plan of graft.

THE SOVIET" PARTY

The new so-called "Farmer-Labor"
ticket, headed by one Christensen for
president, has already opened up it's
campaign in Minnesota. AS was to be
expected, it's hue and cry has been
for recognition of Soviet Russia.
Just where the promoters of this
ticket get their "Farmer-Labor" stuff
is a mystery to every honest working
man and farmer in the country.
Radical socialism does not repre-
sent the farming interests, nor does
it appeal to labor. Neither faction
cares rap for Russia nor do they
want soviet government here or
any where else.
At best, the new party is just a
catch-penny affair to turn the tide to
the convict Debbs at the proper mo-
ment. Or at most, an attempt to
start political revolution in the in
terests Of the I. w. w.
AS vote getter it will stack up
as poor fourth rater.

THE BEGINNING OF THE END

Prince Joachim, the youngest son
of the ex-Kaiser, has taken his life.
The suicide is said to be the result
of worry over money matters, his
recent divorce and sudden fall in
popularity in Germany.
Judging from the description OF
the life of young Hohenzollern, his
death, even at his own hands, is OF
no great consequence in Germany or
the world. He is pictured as being
of the swagger type of German army
officer, overbearing in his manner
and altogether of that type of arts
tocracy responsible for the over
throw of the German empire.
AS we said, his death is of nc
great consequence to Germany or the
world, but it marks the turning point
in the long career Of the German
royal family. The Empress, Ri;
mother, is reported to. be lying at the
point of death in Holland, while his
father, the ex-kaiser, is gradual!
breaking down under the strain o.
worldwide hate.
The Princes financial straits arr
emblematic of the situation which
must exist throughout the entir'
family, and it is probably only mat
ter of months when the House o
Hohenzollern will have passed int
oblivion.

A REAL RESPONSIBILITY

When Governor Cox, Democratic
nominee for the presidency, announc-
ed after his conference with Presi-
dent Wilson last Sunday that he had
"Shouldered the Wilson League Is
sue" the governor took upon himself
a responsibility far larger than the
Democratic party will ever be able to
carry.
President Wilson said that "He
and Cox were of one mind" and in
this too, does the Democratic nomi-
nee meet with a pit-fall.
But ifsis gratifying for the Ameri-
can public to know these little details
30 early in the campaign. 1t is well
that the people should be advised OF
the proposed continuance of the
Wilson policy if Governor Cox is
elected to the presidency.
These announcements go far in
making the assertion safe that this is
to be big Republican year." 1t
is almost a positive assurance that
Senator Harding, Republican, will be
the next occupant of the White
House.
Wilson policies and the Wilson at,
titude toward the League of Nations
have gone farther perhaps to bring
about the downfall of the Democratic
party than any condition which has
existed since the election of Mr.. Will
son eight years ago. ...
It was to overthrow the pamperec
ideals of the visionary Wilson thai

on the League of Nations.
The Herald is not adverse to the
League Of Nations so far as world
peace is concerned, but it is adverse
to a League of Nations without the
reservations laid down by Repubii-
can Congress and it's views are those
of every other 100 per cent Ameri-
can in the United States.
The Herald wants world peace al
ways, but it wants American inter-
ests safe-guarded above all.
