 The following is the essay by Har- old Neff, who won first prize of $1O offered by Strazza post, American Le- zion for the best essay on American ism written by a Stafford high school student:
 think Americanism means that one should be good patriot and loyal citizen of America. Washington and Lincoln are examples of patriotism, because they made use of their genius. We believe in government of the people, by the people, and for the peo- pie, so that one person is just as good as another. A good American should l, support the constitution and laws of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, he should be- lieve in a great free republic based on l the tradition of personal liberty. Loy- | atty means that you ought to be ready to sacrifice every interest that you have and your life itself, if your coun- I try; calls for you to do it, and this is the sort of loyalty which ought to be inculcated into foreigners. They should be taught that they are not to be loyal only as long as they are pleased, but that having once entered into this sacred relationship, they are bound to be loyal whether they want to or not. An American should know the record of the experience of his state and nation. We ought not to preach loyalty unless we set an exam. pie, and we cannot profess things with any influence upon others. un. less we practice it our selves also We should believe in fighting foJ justice andliberty, and not letting ar1y lone nation rule or command the world An American should be ready to de fend her commerce, her territory, hel citizens, her Independence, her Iiberty and her~life as a nation against enc mics He should be ready to give ul his life for his country''

 Call for Used Children's Clothing
 A letter received from Mrs. Baker says we will be glad to receive used clothing that is in good condition and I can assure you that everything that you send will be shipped at Once."
 The local Red Cross Chapter desire to send a parcel of children's clothing before January 1st. Have you any garment for children up to 10 years of age which is immediately usable and which you will give to be forward ed for the use of these forlorn waifs. Under the Hoover program they re- ceive food and medicine. Red Cross chapters are trying to clothe them. Send anything you may have to Mrs. Robert E. Quinley, Church street, Mrs. G. P Bard, East Main street or to the Public Health, Center.
 Miss Janet Moore, writing from
 
 working with the commission to West ern Russia and the Baltic States, says:
 Conditions in the homes are really beyond imagination Practically everybody here in the city, rich and poor alike, lives in apartments. This results in practically all the houses being unusually large. think, with out any exception, all the families have visited this week have lived in one room and kitchen, no matter how large the family. Sometimes there are beds and other furniture and sometimes not. I have yet to see any shoes on the children, and very seldom on the women. Their clothes are all in rags, with practically no changes. This is not so serious now with the good weather, but some provision must be made for winter. The fathers in the families, when they have work, which is seldom, earn about 80 rubles a day. A pair if shoes costs about 2,000 rubleS, so you see how many shoes they can buy. There seems to be very little food except that given by the soup kitchens" Mrs. Baker has charge of produc- tion for Atlantic Division A. R. c. Refugee garments have been and are being sent to Poland, Austria, Russia, Hungary, Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo- Sla- via, Serbia, Rumania and Bulgaria. Red Cross relief workers returning from overseas bring pitiful tales about thousands of children, who, born in wartime, have never known shoe or decent article of clothing. A pitifully humorous tale is told of a poor woman who walked miles to Relief Center and received pair of bright green silk stockings. They were all they had to give.

The Age of the Earth
Manchester. Eng, Guardian)

The age of the earth discussion on
Tuesday attracted the largest and
most representative audience one mas
seen. and some hundreds had to be
turned away through lack OF ROOM
All the physicists, mathematlclanS'
biologists. and biologists were there,
besides many of the chemists and
straw members from other sections OF
the British association for the ad-
vancement of science.
Lord Rayleigh opened by stating
that he had definite evidence to bring
forward. He would not say that his
answer was right, but he would not
be giving it if he did not think It
was. Thirty years ago Lord Keivln
said the earth was cooling at rate
which made it seem certain, pro
yided no new source of heat were dis
covered" that 2O,OOO,OOO years ago
it was unfit for the existence of life.
The same reasoning, with the same
qualification, showed that in another
20 100000 years the sun would no
longer be source of light and heat
for it's plapets. The biologists and
biologists objected that the time was
too short, but they had no very def
mite data to found their case on.
Within recent years the discovery
of the release of intra-atomic energy
by radioactive. substances had put an
entirely new aspect on the question,
| UNI was changed through radium to
| lead by a long series of transforma-
tions, in which "chips" of helium were
thrown off with enormous velocity,
producing heat as one of their results.
| Indeed, the difficulty just now was
to understand why the earth should
not be getting hotter instead Of collier,
| in view of the quality of uranium
present in the earth's crust.
! How could the Transformation of
uranium into lead be made a clock
for measuring past year The rate
of the transformation per annum was
accurately known. 1t was excessively
small, only 1.22x1O-1O of a given
| quantity per annum. If they took a
mineral containing uranium lead and
estimated the relative amounts OF
these substances present, they could
calculate the time of the formation OF
the mineral in question. The result
showed that the oldest of archean
rocks had an antiquity of $4,000, 00C
years.
Similar evidence was got from the
amount of helium present, if one
allowed for its tendency to evapora-
ton and diffusion. If the same ME.
thods were used for rocks Of more
/ recent geological formation smaller
results were naturally attained. Or
the whole, physical chemistry con.
! firmed geology in the sequences Of
strata it had accepted. For. example
iron ore from certain eocene forma.
ton was found to be 100000 years
old, but the earth's crust in some form
or other was older than the oldest
rocks, and from an estimation of the
total quantities of uranium and leac
present an antiquity of something like
5000 million years was probable.

COUNTY MILK PRODUCERS
CONTINUED from page one)

R06G
cocoanut oil, to the skim milk. The
product can be sold at less than half
the price of milk or condensed milk
and still give the manufacturers an
enormous profit. Keeping it out of
interstate commerce will practically
ban it's use. The bill is being bitter
ly opposed and unless farmers wake
up to the danger they are in the bill
may not be passed.
Interestinc charts were shown to
Indicate the condition of the milk
marketing business at present. The
chart showing purchases and sales
by Boston dealers indicates that there
is still a large surplus of milk being
produced and that the price for all
milk is considerably lowered by this
surplus, even with nine cent per
quart price delivered in Boston for
market milk. Conditions have been
unusually favorable for production in
New England this year and with the
exception of the more northern por-
ton, there is an abundance of feed
for. the winter. Hay is short through
out the northern sections, but corn is
reported as the best in years.
One of the most significant charts
shown was the buying power of milk.
This was prepared to show the fact
that even with lower price for milk
farmers are better off than they
were during the higher prices which
were secured during the war period.
They are decidedly better off than
they were before the war. A ton Of
milk at the prices secured in Sep
TENDER 1913, taken as pre-war fig
ure, would have paid for 1.1G tons
of grain at prices then current. In
September 1921, it would buy 1.60
tons of grain. On the same basis of
comparison milk will buy slightly less
hay than in 1913, but slightly more
labor.
Milk prices in New England are
now "a per cent. higher than they
were in 1913. This shows up well
in comparison with other farm prod
ucts, which are now selling at only
| % per cent. higher than they were
| in 1918. This is one of the strong
est proofs of the value of organiza-
ton for the farmers. On the other
hand the price of milk is low consid-
ering the prices of things which farm
ers have to buy. Other commodities
will have to come down considerably
more before level is reached. Cloth
ING. for instance is now ST per cent.
L
higher than it was in 1913, building
materials are 90 per cent higher and
home furnishings are 1913 per cent
higher. Almost the only things which
have gone down below the milk price
in proportion are other farm prod
ucts.
In speaking of the organization:
Mr.. Piper reported substantial
growth in the past year. Through,
the sale of farms and other natural
causes there is always steady loss
