NEW YORK. Feb 1.-THE attitude of
Major General Leonard Wood, candidate
for the Republican presidential nomina-
ton. toward the agricultural problems
of the nation was made known in a
letter he wrote to Clifford Pinchot, mem
Der of the National Committee of Farm
organizations Mr. Pinchot had asked the
candidates views on the farmer and his
problems and General Wood replied at
length declaring that agriculture was
declining in America and that this was
one of the greatest dangers to civiliza
ton.
There is too much focking TO the
/ in agriculture production compared with
the population, in the number of people
who live and work on farms, and i'll the
fertility of our souls cannot be allowed to
continue. The farmers of America rem
dered magnificent service IN producing
under every sort of handicap, food sup
plies necessary to win the war, to feed
not only us but very largely our allies
They sent their sons to war and in spite
of the shortage of labor, by dint of in
creased effort, they tremendously in
creased the output of food in this eoun
try Had they not done so it would have
been impossible for us to have taken oul
part in the war as we did They fee
that their service was not Adequately
recognized
General Wood declared education TO
farm children should be universally az
cessible and special efforts should b
made toward training for life on TIN
farm Rural schools. he said, should b
kept up to the standards of cit,
schools, while suitable and abundan
roads and lines of transportation
should be maintained
Il know that you believe with me,
General Wood continued. that ever,
sound and normal man and woman
should have fair and workable chanc
to earn living and to receive what the,
earn, fair and workable chance for
decent, useful, and desirable life. with
chance to marry and support famil
and give the children a reasonable oppor

Where do the flowers come from, and where do
they get their wondrous forms and gorgeous hues?
They tell me that tendency is the sculptor who fashions

Where do the trees come from? They tell me from

to the rise of order out of chaos. back six billion years
by links of logic to the high hour when existence
emerged from eternal night. back through myriads Of
cycles. until imagination folds its wings and feels worn
out in fight, to when from old eternity's amending orb
time was cut of and flung beneath the skies, but what
is back OF eternity? I wonder.
Where does space come from? The telescope
breaks up the milky way and shows US lanes that lead
out into star depths so far removed that light which
has been travelling toward our world since time began

builds a wall. and says. This wall is the boundary

Where does life come from? We can watch It. per-

CHURCH FRowNs ON CHANGE.

Women married by the Church of England ritual
will have TO promise to love. honor and obey no
matter how they live after the ceremony has been COM
pleted. The Lower House of Convccation has just had
the subject under consideration again and sat down
hard on an attempt to alter the causes for which
matrimony was ordained" 1t was the Dean of Can
terbury who proposed a change to provide for a solemn
promise between the contracting pair 10 love. honor,
comfort and help each other through life He seems
to have been looking around to some purpose, for he
fortified his motion with an argument to the effect that
the tone OF the present marriage service does NOT COR
respond with the feelings OF women nowadays. Not
Vithstanding which. It was decided that love. honor
and obey" shall stand.
Theoretically the old form is the best, perhaps.
One may reason that IN full consciousness Of the VOWS
required TO be taken at the marriage altar men and
women will be the more particular in choosing their
life partners. But there are no grounds for belief that
such is the case. We may believe that the majority
do not enter lightly into the matrimonial statei that
very few in fact are not convinced thatwith the pro-
nouncing CT the solemn words OF union they have en-
tered into a contract that only death can bring to a
close. The form Of service makes no difference IN their
assuming Of the one or their discharge OF tie other.
Tine alone will tell whether they are happily mated or
have engaged N a test o. endurance If their ven

OPPORTUNITIES IN BURGLARY

LiSht-dngered gentry of elastic conscience have
discovered a new way to make a living without work
ing. An epidemic Of robberies has greatly increased
the number of fake burglaries where insurance is held.
burglary insurance companies report.
An automobile a fur coat or costly Jewels are
stolen. the owner reports TO the police. The insurance
company is notified. and usually the claim is paid. If
the investigation becomes too thorough. however. the
stolen article often mysteriously reappears.
The business would seem to offer great opportuni-
ties for the ambitious. If the fake theft il success
ful, the owner not only gets his insurance money. but
has his property as well. Over arson, for instance, this
plan has great advantages, since in the former the
owner loses the building.

PEGLEG HOLDS UP TRAIN.
A Wooden Limb Punches Hole Through

station for Tyrone, with the best of

As the train started he left his seat
and made his way 20 the water cooler,
but never reached there.
A sudden jerk. bang and Charlie
brought his wooden leg down on the
old floor Of the older coach bit hard
and the business end Of the stump
kept right on its way, cutting through
the ancient air hose, into the mechan-
ism of the air brake coupling and, des-
pite the most strenuous efforts OF us

The management of the Barre A. A..
baseball team hopes to have the Roy
colored nine of Montreal as the oppo-
nents of the Barre team here next
Saturday and is working to that end at
the present time. If the team can he
secured game will be staged at In
tercity park, since no other suitable
grounds are to be found in Barre.
Barre baseball fans do not favor games
at the Intercity grounds, however, and
many ask why they are not played at
Lincoln campus. The first reason is
that the Lincoln diamond is in poor
condition; the infeld is well covered
with grass several inches long and the
outfield entirely covered with long
grass. In right field are several small
holes, evidently made by some golf
player for practice, and parts of left
field are very rough because traffic
in early spring found it necessary to
traverse that part of the field in or
der to get along the road, with the
result that much of left field is covered
with tall grass and large wagon ruts.
These disadvantages on the field could
easily be overcome by little coop
Grafton on the part of the city, if after
the hay crop was gathered the city
road machine and roller could be di-
verified to the field for only day. This
is the only baseball field available in
Barre and to the baseball fans it is a
disappointment to see it in such con.
dition that games cannot be played
there.

FUR SEALS.
A Census to Safely Determine How
MANY Can Be Removed Yearly.

DR.. C. Dallas Hanna, member OF the
staff of the California Academy OF
Science. has left San Francisco for
Alaska, where he will make a census
of the fur seals of the Pribilof islands
under the direction Of the United
States bureau of fisheries.
DR.. Hanna has been connected with
this work each year since 1918. In 1910
IL was reported that there were 540,oO0
animals in the herd. In 1910, when
the government first took over the OPP
Grafton of the island industry, there
were fewer than 100000 During the
time when this increase was taking
place enough surplus and useless males
have been killed and their skins sold
at auction to provide the national
treasury with s3,500.O00, above all ex-
penses. according TO w. w, Sargent,
secretary of the California Academy
of Science.
The purpose of the census Is chiefly
TO determine how many animals can
be safely removed each year and still
provide for a minimum percentage OF
increase of the herd If the increase
in 1920 continues, as heretofore, II Is
said that there should be about 900 600
of these amphibious fur bearers, by far
the largest herd in existence, As well
as surplus of about 10000 males
which can be killed for their skins. At
current prices of these furs they viii
be valued at about $1,000, 600.
since the cost of operation will be
less than 5000 600 II is quite evident
that this industry is one of the best
financial enterprises the government
has" said Mr. Sargent.
"It is capable of almost unlimited
expansion. provided the females are
protected AT sea and the surplus males
are removed from the herd. The hight
ing Of such makes on the crowded
rookeries causes large mortality
among the females and young.
The csrcasSes of the animals killed
we're formerly allowed to waste, but
last year n byproduct plan was put IN
TO operation by means Of which IT Is
expected a very superior oil and ami
NAL meal will be placed on the mar
ket. The census which viii he taken IN
1920 will enable close approximation
TO be made OF the quantities OF these
products which will be available in the
immediate future. Chicago Evening
