 Justice Does Not
 Like Our Spelling
By Associated Press

ydney, N. S. w., July, 2.-Sir Ad- rian Knox, chief justice of the high court of Australia. does not approve of the modern American method of spelling a number of words.
 Last month an affidavit was pre- sented in the high court, containing an extract from a letter written ;n America, in which the English word programme" was Americanized to program"
 His Honor said he would like Americans to know that Australia was not dependency of the United States. The spelling of English words should be done in the proper way, The high court. he said was quite content to adhere to the good old style of English spelling. Hay ing pointed to the spelling of "cen- tre" his honor hoped that this me- thod of orthography was not taught in the schools. This word Is an Americanism I abhor.' he added.
 Referring to the incident Mir. w. F.

The Victorian education department had adopted small number of sim plifications of spelling such as program. center" and "plow". It had also adopted the ending ''ize" instead of "ize" The diphthong ',ae" had been dropped too.
 But, declared MT. Gates, "for every simplification there is the highest English authority and it is therefore not correct for Sir Adrian to refer to "program" and ''center" as American spelling just because these words are spellt in the United States publications.

NEW HAMPSHIRE

Vermonter's arr not alone in their
pessimistic survey of the states condi-
tions. There are others. If the maple
sugar commonwealth is losing in popula-
ton. dwelIers in other zones of New
England are having their worries, too
Particularly is this true of New Hamp-
shire. where $500 farms have been
abandoned within the past decade. And
this is not all, nor the worst. either. for
today - per cent of New Hampsire's
cultivated land is reproductive.
These startling facts anent Vermont's
eastern neighbor came to light the other
evening during the course of some re-
marks made by Frank Knox. editor of
the Manchester Union, before the Re
publican Club in New York city. Mr..
Knox did not confne the gloomy out
look within the boundaries of his home
state, New Hampshire, but he extended
| it to the whole of New England, where.
he declared, the cotton spinning and the
shoe industries are threatened. Accord
ing to Mr.. Knox, New EngIand's spind-
les had increased but 80 per cent the last
ten years. while those of the south had
Increased 800 per cent. Eliminate the
cotton and the shoe activities, said he.
and New England will go out of business.
Farm desertions in New Hampshire
were attributed by Mr.. Knox to lack of
organization among the business men of
the state. whereby to provide selling mar
kets for the husbandmen. The farmers
know how to raise the crOps-that's their
business. They do not know how to or
ganize markets for the sale of the crops
that's the business mans business.
And the New Hampshire business man
has failed in that all-important partic-
ular, was the plant of the speaker. To
illustrate, Mr.. Knox cited the case of the
organized apple growers of the Hood
River Valley section on the PARKWAY Pa
cifc coast, who have driven the New
Hampshire apple growers out of business,
notwithstanding that the haul across the
continent costs $1.14 per barrel. And
New Hampshire grows better apples than
the western coast producers This I'M
equal commercial contest was between or
anization and no organization. Mr..
Knox said, and the no organization forces
of New Hampshire lost the battle.
Mr.. Knox concluded by saying that
the business men of New Hampshire had
finally Weakened to these facts and with
in the last few months launched cam
paign to save first the farmers and finally
the states industries. 1t will be inter
esting to watch the results of their eff
forts in that line.
