Hartford Times.

Litchield county papers report that a 7,000-acre tract in the region of Norfolk, New Marlboro and Sandis- field has been bought for the purpose of developing a sheep ranch. It is to be hoped that this is true. It is time that people hereabouts took notice of the opportunity to raise sheep that the srougher- parts of the country offer. The trouble with a flock of 20 or. 30 sheep is that it does, not pay to give them enough. personal care. When sheep are kept together by the thous- ands, then the revenue suffices to pay for all the tending that they require. This is all that is needed to. .bE,ng sheep -ra ising back into custom here abouts and to bring choice money gains; too., A single dog can in. one night dispose of small flock of sheep. that nobody is watching, but when regular shepherds are watching thelr flocks, the chance for the dog diSaI pears.

Much uncertainty appears to exist in cozgres at the present time regard ing, Legislation for dealing with sedi- ton. It is of course the outcome of the trouble the country has been ex- periencing from those working for the overthrow of the government by reve- lution. Instead of tolerating such people we have seen the need of deal- ing with them promptly and effective ly, and yet it is to be realized that leg islation that would go too far and make possible the prosecution of those not intended would be as bad as that which does not go far enough.
 Ia connection with the opposition whictfis being manifested to bills ad- veeated and presented it is pointed out that some of the legislation would make it unlawful for anyone to agi- tate against any change in the eonsti- tuition. Such is not the purpose of the law. It is not intended that anyone shall be prevented. from urging such a change in the Constitution as he believes necessary provided it is done in the proper way. The purpose, how ever, is to provide law that will per- init of the proper punishment of those who advocate and urge others to re- sort to violence and force against the government
 The demand for new legislation is based upon the repeated statements of the department of justice that sufi- cient law to deal with this or that matter is not possessed, and the desire to remove such a handicap for the proper suppression of the dangerous radicals. Nevertheless the wisdom of not going beyond bounds is apparent
 Putting forth lot of new legisla- ton does not always accomplish the desired purpose. It is well to see what is the matter with existing laws. If they are insufficient or have loopholes through which the violators are going those very points should get attention The need of blocking the dangerous element doesn't call for the endanger- ing of the law abiding.

SHOULD sPEAK ouT.

Thus far Herbert Hoover has been sitting tight while his friends have been booming him for presidential nomination. It is even intimated that he is the choice of President Wilson and it is noticeable that the different representatives of the United States grain corporation are urging his, se- lection.
 That Senator Reed should throw cold water on the presentation of his name was to be expected. He has lost no opportunity to belittle Mir. Hoover's activities even during the period when he was acting as food administrator, and it is for the very thing that permits him to loom up big in the eyes of many people that the senator from Missouri criticizes. Sen ator Reed may be very much biased in his view but he certainly does not sanction Mr. Hoover as the demo- cratic nominee and just at the pres ent time very few are heard singing his praises in either of the political parties because it doesn't appear that he is much of party man but rather to be classed as one who is willing to stand on the raatfoFm of any party that will nominaze him.
 Such hasn't been the means of get ting very far in national politics in the past and for that reason it would appear to be time for the former food administrator to break his silence in fle near future and let it be known TEat his political party is~and where hes stands as a possibility for the new rrsudent-al electirn. It must come sooner or later and the greater the delay the greater Tlse tneert tainty re- eardh,g him in the minds of the vot- CTS.

sHAwLs IN FASHION.

Shawls are very fashionable just now They have even entered the realm of sport. Huge scarf-snawls of angora wool with bright eolored borders are folder over the shoulders and the ends are drawn down under a belt. The width of the scarf is so great that it's edges fall completely over the arms to the elbow in shawl effect. In Paris women are wearing stately old Spanish shawis as thea ter and restaurant wraps. Several inches of the folded shawl are looped together to make sort of Capuchm hood and the shawl drapes gracefully from the shoulders, staying on bet ter than if the loop-or hood were not taken in the gabric.

UNUSUAL AAT MODELS.

Several unusual methods of trimming hats are seen in the models embodied in the newer lines shown. One of these is the use of an entire small sable skin on a shane of hatters' plush. The hat is large. and the sable pelt is laid across the front very close to the side crown. All over the hat. jutting out at various angles. are strands of black paradise. In another unusual hat. of the off the-face variety, a very novel effect is obtained hv covering the un- turned flare with flat. glazed leaves in oarish autumn co1orires.

The Appian Way.

The Appian way Is the Oldest and
most famous Of the Roman military
roads. 1t was commenced by Appius
Claudius Caecus, while censor, in 312
B. O.. and originally extended from the
Porta Capena at Rome to Capua, a
distance Of 12O miles. In 80 b. c., the
Appian way was continued to Brum-
dislum, $40 miles from Rome. BY
means of it's branches 1t connected
Rome with all southern Italy. Dur
ing the rule Of Pope Plus TX (1S46-
1879 a part Of this road, extending
about eleven miles out Of Rome, was
laid bare. It Is remarkable for its
pavement, which consists Of large hex
agonal blocks of basalt; but more
especially for the ruins Of the once
magnificent tombs that line its side.
The central part Of the roadway, 10
feet wide, was designed for the pas
sage Of infantry, while the two side
passages, each also 16 feet wide, were
used for horsemen and vehicles. The
Romans called the Appian way Regina
viarum (Queen of Roads,.

HISTORY BOOKS ARE WRONG

The Declaration Of Independence
wasn't signed on July 4. 1778. Abra-
ham Lincoln didn't dash of his famous
Gettysburg address on an old envel-
spe as be rode On the train to Gettys-
burg. Most likely. George Washing
ton never chopped down the cherry
tree. The manuscript division Of the
library Of congress isn't sure about
the cherry tree episode. because
George didn't write a letter about it.
but It holds Documentary evidence re-
garding the other two illusions Of our
school days, 80 the history books that
we studied so trustfully were wrong.
The manuscript division has the two
original drafts Of the Gettysburg
speech, one carefully written on off,
c1al White house stationery, partly In
pencil, and the other in ink, both dis
playing Lincoln's well-known hand
writing. The first draft and the re-
vised copy differ slightly from the ad-
dress as it was finally delivered.
As for the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence, the official journal Of the Con-
tinental congress for July 4, 1776,
shows that on that day congress adopt
ed the declaration by vote, but the
signing, which we make so much OF,
was deferred as unimportant. Most
of the members signed the document
a month later, while in 1871, five years
later, some other congressman who
were not In Office in 1776 also added
their signatures, thereby gaining I'M

BURIED UNDER NINE TAILlNGS

Il With Crushed Flint.

In the zinc mining district Of Ok
lahoma, practically unknown even by
the residents Of the state in which It
lies, is the buried city of Douthat.
Surrounding it is one of the richest
mining camps in the world. The Mon
treal. probably one Of the most famous
zinc mines. is in the city, as are also
the properties Of several Of the lead
ing zinc mining companies Of the UNI
ted States.
The city was not buried by sud-
den flow of molten lava, as were the
cities of Pompeii. but by the "tailings"
of the mines Of the camp. because, It
is said, of differences between owners
OF the mines, and merchants and land
owners OF the town. One day the
falling spouts of one Of the great
mines was turned on the town, delug-
ing it with crushed flint. The people
moved their homes and business places
in mad rush to escape the dOwnpOur
Of dust and rock particles. Stores,
cottages, barns and tents had to be
moved, and now where once stood the
thriving city Is an immense pile of
"chat" containing thousands of car
loads. One street and a few dozen
homes only were spared, and here the
thriving business Of the little town is
carried on, the once prosperous bust

Appreciation Of the Potato.

In this country the chief and practi-
cally only interest In the potato today
is as a vegetable for the table. We
are greatly surpassed in this use by
Europe, and Germany in particular.
In that land the average annual per
capita consumption was seven bushels
in normal times, while our own was
two and half. The labOrers Of east
ern Germany ate II bushels per an
nun. The other European countries
are, as q rule, far above US and the
diet Of many an 1rishman is said to
be potatoes and spring water-for
breakfast, dinner and supper. In ad-
dition to this direct consumption uses
Of the potato largely unknown to
Uncle Sam are for -four starch, dex.
trine, glucose and alcohol.
