Wages and Prices

1t Is evident that wages and
prices are enemies. The Ship
ping Board has lot Of wage
troubles upon It's hands, and a
controversy has developed into
a strike against the govern
ment. The Shipping Board
finds that lower wages are nee
essary if rates to shippers are
to be reduced. The condition
which the government faces Is
Identical to that which inii7-
uals encounter In every walk
90 life. It is the same thing
with the railroads and the in
dustrial plants. All the govern
mont statistics show that prices
are gradually coming down.
Still President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor
has issued a threatening state
ment as to the dire results that
may be expected if wages Of
working people are lowered.
Mr.. Gompers says that the cap
italists are in control of the sit
uation at the present time, but
he is sure that this will not last
long. Mr.. Gompers is as thor
oughly "irreconcilable" in the
belief that wages cannot be re-
duced as is Judge Gary of the
Steel Trust, that they will be.

Prospects of a Good Apple
Crop in Western Vermont

The indication are that there
will be a good crop of apples in
Vermont this year. For the
most part, the trees were we'll
budded last fall, they have win
tered we'll owing to the mild
weather, and have blossomed
we'll, so the crop will be a good
one if favorable weather con-
tinues. This makes a very
goo,! outlook for Vermont ap-
ple-growers. Despite the warm
weather in the early spring,the
fruit trees in Vermnot were not
I sufficiently advanced to be in
jured by more recent late
irosts. Moreover, many of the
large orchards in Vermont are
on hiXh, rath r. than low lava I,
and thus were immune to late
frost because It their Local /.
In @ recent t!c41el trip tt. l
Grand Isle County, Prof. M. e
Cummings, of the State Agri'
cultural College was grat::ii ID
to find the trees bIoasoming 50
well. With very few except
ions, the orchards in Grand
Isle were just passing the full
bloom period, and according to
certain observations and report
Of local growers the weather,
altho a little cool, has been al
most ideal turnout the blossom
ing period.
Spraying will be Of prime i'm
portance this year. With great
" diminished fruit crops in ma
ny parts of the country, it
would seem that apple prices
for this coming season could be
unusually good. This being 50
orchardists should see that We
ry thorough and proper spray
ing is done to insure good quail
ity of fruit which may demand
q high price next fall. The
after-blossom spray, aimed es-
pecially at the control Of the
cooling moth, or common ap-
pie worm, and the apple scab,
the arch enemy of the apple,is
imperative. In general, Or
! chard trees should be sprayed
within ten days of the time that
the blossoms fall. The pre-
ferred solution is the liquid
lime sulfur, used at the rate of
one gallon to 40 gallons of
water, the same being reinforc-
ed with arsenate of lead In
powdered form at the rate OF
two pounds to 40 gallons Of di-
luted spray. 1t Is important to
have high pressure, and to do
thorough work.
Spraying is of utmost import
ance. One may question whet
her he would fertilize with com
mercials, whether he would
prune much or little, whether
he would practice grass mulch
or clean culture, but there Is no
question says Prof. Cummings,
as to whether or not it pays to
spray. Nothing so much in
fuences the quality of fruit and
it's value as spraying.

Americans, Living and Dead
Memorial day brings deeper
and richer memories every year
as the roll of honor grows long
er with the names Of Americans
who have died for their flag at
home, overseas and on islands
or the seas. An hour can be
spent prcftably by every A
n1erican on this day, glancing
back over the record of the u
nited States and making an es-
innate of the present and the.
future of the country. What
did the dead accomplish by CIV
ing the last full measure of de-
votion? Are the living impress
sad by what they did, and do
they more than ever highly re-
solve that the dead shall not
have died in vain?
Next to the never-failing fire
that every American should
keep burning in his secret heart
,signifying to him alone that he
is dedicated when necessary to
give himself to his country, it
seems that his most Important
duty is to take pains to see that
the country is made secure a.
gainst possible destruction. His
first duty, in short, is to make
sure of himself; his next to

|ST|NNES MAY FORM.
| BIG RAILWAY. TRUST
Bernhard Says British and
American Capital May Be
Interested in Deal.
By the Associated Press.

/
BERLIN, November 2S-The recent
mysterious trip to London Of Hugo
SHINES. the fnancier. and the nature
OF his conferences there continu to be
the subject of newspaper speculation.
Regardless Of official and other de-
malls from British sources. it is posi-
lively asserted by the magnate's friends
that he was the week end guest Of
Premier Lloyd George at Chequers
Court. the latter's country estate, and
that his movements while in England
were SO skillfully masked that news
paper correspondents and others wish
ing to see him were completely duped
as to his whereabouts.
George Bernhard, writing in the
Fossische Zeitung. asserts that Herr
SHINES. in addition to discussing
reparations and allied issues while
In England. also broached the sub
ject of creating a European railway
trust. This. the writer declares,
! would not only take over the bank
| rupt German system. but also those
of the other European countries.
The reconstruction CT. the Russian
! railways. he says, would be the iogi-
cal outcome of such an amalga ma tion
in which English and American
capital would be interested
Herr Bernhard openly opposes the
reported plan, asserting that English
! influence, once it is able to lay hands
| on the German railway system. will
surely prove inimical to German indus
! trial interests generally.

which he addressed to the delegates

The newspaper doubts whether Pre-
mier BRANDS address impressed the
, experts Of the conference in the same
measure as 1t did the superficial on
lockers.
1t considers impossible any attempt
to convert 1.-The capitaiistic bearers Of
European civilization into Chinese
coolies at the very moment the Unit
ed States is endeavoring to bring the
Chinese to the level of the capital
istic order of society,""
"The aggressive manner in which
China presented her case to the con-
ference is not warranted by her in
ternal situation. and can be explained
only on the ground that she is sure
of American backing" says the pa
/ per, in discussing the American far
east policy. The United States is
surfeited with gold; Japan has a
surplus of humanity. and the ad-
Jacent mainland affords her the only
outlet for emigration, and inasmucn
as Japan's resources and capital are
not equal to those of the United
States for the purpose of the peace
ful penetration of China, she OBJ
viously is obliged to rely upon her
military assets. This is especially
true in view of the political disin-
| tegration of China and Russia.
Thus Japanese Imperialism and
American peace policies oppose ona
another as the natural consequence
OF conflicting social considerations
In the final analysis, however, they
harmonize; their methods alone are
at variance"

SUGGESTION OF POLICY
TO GOVERN THE FAR EAST
Principles Should Be Broad as Car
dinal Doctrines Of Christian
ity, Says DR.. Iyenaga.

BOSTON. November 2s.-The prin-
ciples governing the heterogeneous
congregation of humanity that COM
prises the far east should rest on a
basis as BROAD, just and eternal as
the cardinal doctrine of Christianity
the fatherhood Of God and the
brotherhood of man." said DR.. Togo
kichi Iyenaga Of New York, in a forum
address here today.
There should follow" he continued,
"the recognition of such principles as
race equality on the same basis as the
equality of all men before the laws.
the freedom of communication over
the high seas and through the air, the
open door and equal opportunity to
all-which means the breaking down
Of barriers that bar free egress and
free trade; and finally the breaking
up Of the nationalities which breed
short-sighted patriotism, jealousies
and hate. and a world federation of
some kind.
Il am not an advocate OF unre-
stricted immigration Of Japanese into
this country or British colonies" he
added. II believe the intermingling
in large numbers of races differing in
color. customs and traditions is not
conducive to the welfare of either
party. Time and culture alone can
overcome human prejudice and bias"
