When the people of this country bought
Liberty bonds they were assured by the
Treasurer of the United States that they
would always be worth their face value
The government has bought in more than
one billion dollars (par value) of these
bonds at an average of five per cent dis
count. The exact amount of this dis
count is more than S50,COO,0OO. The
average market price of the second and
the fourth Liberty loans has been less
than 90 cents on dollar for more than
four months. The Democratic national
platform for 1920 says: "We condemn
the pernicious attempt of the Republican
patty to create discomfort among the
holders of the bonds of the Government
Of the United States" This is a false
cry. The Government has trimmed the
holders of its bonds to the amount of
$50, 900, 900. That is what has discredited

old places among our peaceful and re-
liable workers. 1t is safe to say. how
ever, that more than half these people
have little if any education and cannot
speak our language. Doubtless many of
them are Bolshevists. This class of our
immigrants will never get far from the
slums of our cities and will add to the
dangerous elements already there. We
have already more foreign undesirables
than we ought to have. Deportation has
completely broken down. Instead of de-
porting those which we have, thousands
are allowed to pour into this country
every month. The coming of the discon-
tented, the ignorant and vicious from
Europe and Asia, is undermining our
national health. We should at once send
home every alien who is subject to an
archstic mania and an efficient law, rig
idly enforced, should prevent their return
and the coming of any others.

Pullets should be housed in their win

not later than the last of Octo er. Late
Matched pulIets, and those thatbare under

When the birds are put into the laying

THE HAGUE CONVENTIONS

Within the last year frequent mention
has been made of the Hague conventions,
officially known as the Permanent Court
of Arbitration of the Hague. The first
Hague convention was held in July and
August, 1899. The convention was called
e'with the object of facilitating an i'm
mediate recourse to arbitration for inter-
national differences which it has not been
possible to settle by diplomacy" A court
of arbitration was established and nat
ional agreements were made concerning
what should be done to promote the
peace of the world, and these agreements
were approved and ratified by 26 nations
of which the United States was one. The
first case to come before the court was
submitted by this country, between it
and Mexico; the second case was diff
ference between Venezuela and several
creditor nations; the third was differ
ence between France, England and Ger
many on one hand and Japan on the
other; the fourth was dispute between
France and Great Britain. The peaceful
settlement of these matters demonstrated
that real advance was being made in
the interest of peace and in 1907 second
Hague convention was called to revise
and improve certain of its agreements.
Since then several matters have been
settled through the instrumentality of

frenzied by long cherished jealousy of
Great Brltain's ever growing power and
an Insensate desire to dominate all Europe
and perhaps all the world. Inability to
do anything to prevent the war and the
proposal for League of Nations make it
evident that no more Hague conventions
will be held. That these conventions had
dem onstrated their value for peace is
shown by the fact that when the Big
-Four IN Paris were writing the covenant
of the League of Nations they appropri-
ated the world court idea from the Hague
cow entions, and transferred it bodily
into the covenant where it has the dis
tinction of meeting with the approval of
all. After adopting the tenets of the
Hague conventions as their own and de-
claring in favor of Court of Arbitration
the Big Four wrote into their covenant a
plan for compelling peace by force of
arms, elected themselves as a war board,
to be known as the Council, having au-
'thoEity to tell 81 nations when, where
and for what reas ons they should fight
This is the substance of the proposition
which was not approved by nearly all the
Republican and about half the Demo-
cratic members of the United States
Senate.

The following is not an extract from
the speech of a Republican spellbinder.
1t is taken from July number of The
Fortnightly Review, one of the leading
London publications.:
"When President Wilson came to Eu-
rope to assume the chief direction of
affairs in the Old World, about which he
knew nothing and cared less, he threw
into all councils with his League of Ma
ons not pledge of peace but brand of
discord, and it remains an inscrutable
mystery how the allied leaders could have
allowed that red herring to lead them
all astray."

Alumni in Movement for
Expansion of Holy Cross
WITH Holy Cross College, one

NAIL IL HOLY OfOSS COllege, one
of the oldest institutions of
higher education in New England
closing its doors to scores of
students every year because of in
ability to make room for them,
alumni and former students of the
college are sponsoring movement
for the expansion OF the school by
the erection Of five new buildings
on the campus at Worcester, Mass.
The movement took form at a
reunion of alumni and former
students at the college Labor Day.
A realization Of the crisis faced by
the school came when it was
learned that Railways now are be-
ing used as classrooms, dormitories
are crowded to the limit of COM
fort, not a room in the college is
large enough to hold its student
body assembled, and last July it
was necessary to halt enrollments
for the present term. With this
knowledge, the former students de-
cided to open the way for an expan-
sion of the college.
A new students dormitory,
science and lecture hall, an assem-
bly, and dining hall, an administra-
ton building and new chapel are
the contemplated improvements.
The additions will permit the
school to increase its yearly enroll
ments to 1000.
Holy Cross College was founded
in 1S43 and has grown steadily
since that date. 1t has sought from
the start to keep its doors open at
all times to the youth of meager
means. Although most colleges
and universities have been forced,
because of increased costs and ad-
vances in salaries of faculty men,

The prices of butter and of eggs are
still high and soaring. Most other food
products are much lower but are still 90
per cent higher than in 1914, and are
about on the level of two years ago. The
same may be said of many articles of
wearing apparel. The fall of prices has
not been caused by government enforce
ment of the laws against boarding and
profiteering. 1t is almost entirely due to
the fact that, as The journal stated a
few weeks ago, capital, or in other words
the purchaser, has struck. A wave of
economy has swept over the whole coun-
try: The element of competition has re-
turned to the labor market. The strike
agitator is losing his influence. Sensible
employees know that their present wages
are better than no wages.

CONDENSED MILK SITUATION

During the past two months the con-
densed and evaporated milk market has
steadily become more demoralzed and
has now reached a critical stage with
many manufacturers.
Export business, which stimulated in
creased production and consequently the
building of many new factories during
the war, is now at standstil The do
nestle market has been flooded with
goods offered at cut-rate prices by COM
panies which have been exporting. For
eign demand has decreased partly on &C
count of the increased production of Hol-
land, Norway, aud Denmark which is
being offered in this and other countries
at prices below our own.-U. S. Market

BUBONIC PLAGUE,

With the outbreak of the bubonic
plague in several cities in this country,
health workers everywhere are waging a
destructive campaign against rats. The
rat alone is carrier of this disease and
a fight to the finish should be made
to kill the rat and to make all Maine
buildings rat-proof. No epidemic of the
bubonic plague is evidenced in Maine but
the only way to be sure that this scourge
of Eastern countries does not break out
among us is to wage war against the rat
population of our cities and towns.

Where We Can Economic

Secretary of the Treasury Houston in
letter to an inquirer has furnished some
interesting statistics with reference to
the present expenditures of the American
people, The figures have been gathered
by Treasury experts from tax returns and
| other sources of information. They fur
nish an approximate estimate of what
our people expend in twelve months on
certain items of luxury. Some of the
chief items thus compiled and estimated
are as follows:
Chewing gum, $50, 600, 600
Candy, 1000, 000, 600
Cigarettes, 800, OOO, 900
Soft drinks, including ice
cream and soda, $50, 900, 600
Perfumery and cosmetics, 10000, 600
Cigars, $4,000, 900
Tobacco and snuff, 800, 600, 900
Furs, 800, OOO, 600
Carpets and luxurious
clothing, 1850, OOO. 900
Automobiles and parts, 1000, OOO, 600
Toilet soaps, 400, 1000, 600
Pianos, organs and phono-
graphs, ESQ, 900, 600
The experts of the Treasury have COM
piled many other estimated items of ex-
penditure, but the foregoing enumerations
are worthy of special notice. Particularly
worth while remembering is the fact that
the estimates have been computed largely
on the basis of returns under the present
system of internal revenue taxation. They
are therefore likely to be within gunshot
range of the truth. Taking the entire
list of estimates it would appear probable
that gross expen liture of $22, 700, O00, 900
is annually incurred. Of course opinions
Will differ widely as to the exact meaning
of the term "luxuries'' and the question
whether such items as ice cream, carpets
and the like should be included in the
estimate. These, however, are only minor
factors in the total. Few persons would
deny that of those which have already
been specifically enumerated nearly all
could be greatly reduced in amount with
out lnfllcting suffering or even incon-
venience upon the population.
The fact that the American public have
been spending such sums as these for the
purposes mentioned gives point to the
| often repeated and often disregarded in
junction to be guided by the policy of
thrift at least to reasonable extent in
both personal and business expenditure.
1t also throws glazing light upon the
current complaints concerning the cost
of living. If the nation can spend $22,-
zoo, OOO. 900 upon articles, which in large
part are purely luxuries, it evidently is
not suffering from depressed standard
of living. While, on the other hand, it
is obviously making things much harder
for itself by drawing off the commodities
services and capital used in the produc-
ton of this great volume of consumable
goods which otherwise would 60 to make
