dens increase and wars occur with the regu-
larity of hell's clock strokes.


20. And, if We succeed in our noble ex-
pertinent, if we establish League of Nations,
and if we disarm, think of what we can do with
the enormous surplus of wealth which the race
is constantly piling up, and which heretofore
has been burnt up in powder! What enormous
public works we can undertake What magni-
fcent programs of education we can set for
ward among the earths backward populations
What highways and bridges, what parks and
plaisances, what universities and temples, what
vast commercial enterprises what grandiose
works for the betterment of mankind! Think
Of the staggering loads Of treasure we must
pour out in the next few years to pay the debts
of the last world war, and shall Ue take no
steps to preUent GR0therE
These are some Of the reasons why do not
hesitate to say that the League of Nations Is
Of most immediate and personal concern to
every one, that every one should inform himself
upon it and that it is fair test for every man,
to show whether he be intelligent, progressive
and humane or uninformed, reactionary and
biased.
Ex-president Taft cannot be accused of be-
ing champion of Mr.. Wilson or the Demo
cratic party. In fact he has swallowed his con-
victions sufficiently to enable him to support
Mr.. Harding for President. He gives US, how
ever, clear statement upon the League OF
Nations Had been in the Senate" he writes
Il would have voted for the League and the
Treaty as submitted and | advocated its ratl
fication accordingly. l did not think and dc
not now think that anything in the League
Covenant, as sent to the Senate, would violate
the Constitution of the United States, or woulc
involve us in wars which it would not be the
highest interest of the world and this country
to suppress by universal boycott, and, if neec
be, by military force. Moreover, | believe thai
the issue Of the League transcends in It's I'M
portance any domestic issues and would Justify
and require one who believes so to ignore party
ties and secure this great boon for the worlC
and this country"
Taking dispassonate forward look, one:
calm judgment perceves that, in some way OF
other. the League of Nations will continue anc
that the United States will go into it.
Even if there is Republican Senate an(
President, the United States will have to go IL
for the simple reason that there will be nothing
else possible to do Intelligent Republicans real
ize this and are making their plans as grace
fully as they can after they have thrown Mr.
Wilson to the wolves.
Of course to the parties in mind, it is vastl!
more important to elect Republican otfce-hold
ers than it is to secure the peace OF the world
But having elected their candidates, they will
climb into the band-wagon the best they can

demanded by that circumstance alone, the out
look for better prices is such that Mr.. Ousley' )
declaration that man who has good cotton
would be foolish to sell is well founded. Good
cotton should be held until the market begins
to react and then it should be marketed slowly.
incidentally, the work of organizing the
American Cotton Association in Texas should
be given first attention everywhere. Now Is

THE GREATEST EDUCATOR

At farm house near Ardmore there are
some attractive signs yhich read: Fresh
eggs today" Fresh country butter" Fall
turnips and sweet potatoes"
This farmer maintains a neat country
home. He is located on good country road.
He is building up a trade with the folks who
live in town. He can sell little cheaper at
the home than the peddler can sell produce
in town. The city man saves little on his
purchases. He gets the very freshest produce
and he also gets the exhilaraton of going
direct to the farm home to do his buying
A strong friendship is built up between
the farmer and the man in town and this
friendship brings about cooperation and
an understanding that is helpful to the COM
munity as whole.
Heretofore we have always associated the
shopper with the man who was going to
town to do his buying, but modern farming
modern roads and modern means of transpor'
tation have revolutionized shopping and the
man from town now goes on shopping trip
to the country.
The farmer who lives on good road car
build up a mammoth trade among his friends
in the town. The greater portion OF the peo
pie either have cars or are taken on trips BY
their friends who do own them. He might
let it be known that on certain days he vii
have butter to sell, on others that he vii
have eggs and he might prepare every da!
in the year to have potatoes and turnips ane
dozen other things that the man in towr
must have.
Just as the town has educated the farmer
to come to town for such supplies as he needs
so can the farmer educate the town man t
come to the country for such table supplies
as he must have.
Just as no business in city can grow
greater than the men at the head of It, 81
no farm can grow bigger than the man ant
the woman who manage it.
1t follows then that the first step in build
ing business, whether that business is mer
chandising, farming or stock raising, is t.
learn more. Someone has said that to be NOR
we must know more.
The greatest educator on the farm is tn
home daily paper. The men who read thei
home daily paper on the farm are the me-
who are the most progressive in their wor
and they are the men who make the mos
money.
The average farmer feels that he canno
afford the price of daily paper in his home
When just the reverse is true, he cannot al
ford not to have it.
The daily paper is not an expense.
pays its way many times over. There is a
intellectual growth that comes from readin
the daily paper that finds way to do bigge
and better things
1t is the ambition of The Daily Ardmoreit
to find its way into every farm home in tn
county. 1t tries every day to gather an
publish such news as entities it to place i
every home

"Harreld Hustling" is the manner in which
the Ardmore. Statesman, Republican, heads a

around the point of combat till the dis pute was settled, or the marshals in- terfered with the argument. A cer- tain well-known young man of the will lage was usually quite prominent in those affairs.
 One great part of the program came when banquet was served in Quine- baug hall. There, the local and out side eratorical talent gathered to eat. speak and make toasts. Away out upon a ridge north of the hall, the old cannon, mounted upon cart wheels, was planted. After each toast a flag was waved from a window of the hall as a signal to fire the cannon. A lot of boys and youths were gathered there, for they would rather hear that old gun speak than the best orator they had at the table. How anxiously we watched for the signal to appear what thrill when the eannoneer stepped forward to apply the match 1.
 That old piece was great novelty then. How little was it realized that olily few years later the deadly crash of such instruments as that hurling hostile missiles into the Union ranks of blue, would become familiar knowledge. No doubt many of those boys and youth that stood around that old cannon in '56, stood upon the great battlefields of '61-'65. Possibly there were some of them who gave their lives following the flag of their country.
 The great day ended with grand display of fireworks, the old cannon getting in it's roar now and then to make the effect duly Impressive. So the new town took it's place upon the map of Windham county, and now the city of Putnam is one of the promi- nent points of New England
 The village of Quinebaug was fa- miliar to me, but as 22 years have passed since have been in old Con necticut, I would feel lost in the streets of Putnam, though it would be delight to stand there once more.

HELLO DIRECTORY
 IN FIVE VOLUMES
Subscribers In Each District Will Only Be Furnished
 Fifth of Library
Telephone Company Eeonomiring ', But Goodness Knows Cheaper
 Paper Cannot Be Used

The Southern New England Tele- phone Company announces that the July issue of the telephone directory will be ''real economy" issue. May this be true. The present books. with their cheapest kind of cheap paper, are anything but economy issues, 7" even though the paper may have been given the company. free of charge. No book that was used to any extent last ed a season. and more dollars were lost in time calling information to get numbers, than were ever saved by this cheap production.
 But the new issue is to be i've volume affair, and people in Putnam district will not know who of their friends in some other district has re- tained their telephone for another month. Of course this may be ascer- tained by calling someone at the cen tral station, for the company will be glad of the toll line revenue, but there will be nothing disclosed in the volume of the book. Each district is to have a book of its own, and there will be no more books containing the name and numbers of every subserib- CT in the state. However. if the books will hold together, give us the smaller book by all means. The announce ment the company makes is as follows
 The summer issue of the Connecti- cut telephone directory, which will ap- pear in July, will be real economy is- sue. More than 100 tons of newsprint paper, of which there is such severe shortage, will be saved on this issue alone Furthermore, the telephone di- rectory will be smaller in size, lighter in weight, and. in consequence, will be more convenient to handle.
 Strictly speaking. the next tele- phone directory will not be Con nectieut" directory.
 The current and all past issues car ried the listings of every telephone in the state. Telephone subscribers in New Haven, for instance. were given book containing the listings in ex- changes in every part of the state, for fiOSt VI Wfiitb tiiN SuoNtiioStS Stidpliif if ever, had any use.
 The forthcoming directory will be in five parts, one for each of the dis tricts into which the state is divided by the Telephone Company for busi- ness reasons. Thus the subscribers in each of the twelve exchanges in New Haven district will receive a New Ha- ven district book; all the subscribers in each of the fourteen exchanges in the Hartford district will receive a Hartford district book and so on.
 This departure from the long estab- lished custom is forced. in large. de- gree, by the shortage of newsprint but it is felt that the reduced size and weight of the book will be received favorably by the telephone usinb pub lie,

Editor of Patriot:
 was much interested in an article written by Vim. H. Taylor in recent issue of The Patriot, giving an ac- count of the incorporation of the town of Putnam in 1855.
 we'll remember that event. l was about twelve years old then, and my home was on the old farm, now the town farm of Putnam. My reeollec. ton is that there was great opposition to the movement. Many meetings were held and much bitterness of feeling was developed think that the Carpenters, Dressers and Sawyers down upon the River road, were in favor of the project.
 Late one afternoon in hoeing time, the day upon which the matter was to be decided, the booming of the village artillery was heard. Grandfather Sawyer left the field, harnessed old Kate, the family Dobbin, and went to see if it was for or against. He came back with the word that it was for. The new town was born. Henceforth and forever, the village of Quinebaue would bear the name of the famous Revolutionary war general.
 When everything was ratified and duly recorded, it was decided that there must be great celebration of the event upon the 4th of July. Nat urally, two great events should be placed side by side. Moreover, it was the nnomentous campaign year of Ere mont and Dayton, Buchanan and Breckenridge, when the Republican party became great factor in Nation al politics.

Flags and banners, parades, speeches, games music by Goodspeed's brass band, re splendent in plumes and epaulettesi that band made fine music, too. To add to the excitement and glory, ire quently cry of fight, fight would arise. Then the crowd would swirl

IMPORTED BUTTER DENIED FEN
 TRY

Several shipments of butter offered for entry into the United States from foreign countries have been denied entry because the butter failed to come up to the requirements of the Federal food and drugs act, according to officials of the Bureau of Chemis- try, United States Department of Az riculture The imported butter has to meet the same standards and tests as the domestic product. The major ity of the shipments which were re- fused entry contained too little butter fat and too much salt and water, but few contained boric acid, harm ful preservative.

SUNDAY NIGHT AT THE VICTORY

Sunday evening will be poor night to stay at home. Mary MacLaren will be at the Victory Theatre in one of the cleverest photoplays of the year. It is called "The Forged Bride" and was produced at Universal City under the direction of Douglas Gerard.
 In "The Forged Bride," Miss Mac Laren appears as the daughter of a hardened old forger, who is spending his leisure time in the penitentiary.
 Although Miss MacLaren is consid- cred to be one of the screens most popular stars in her own right, she is supported in "The Forged Bride" by a cast that would be all-star in anything but Universal production.
 Barney Sherry, idol of thousand screens, appears with the star as the Judge. who sentenced her father to prison. The role of the father is de- picted by Thomas Jefferson, son of the beloved Joseph Jefferson, and an,Actor who has partaken of much of the gem jus that endeared his father to the world.
 Dagmar Godowsky, daughter of Leopold Codowsky, the world famous pianist, appears as vampire of an ultra-modern school.
 Harold Miller, one of the most ap- pealing leading men of the screen. supports the star as her screen lover.
 "The Forged Bride" was written particularly for Mary MacLaren by J. G. Hawks, the author of many of the William s. Hart suceessess--Adv.
