AWAKENING TO CIVIC DUTY?

Henry Fords proposal to take over
the Muscle Shoals nitrate plant is to
so before Congress after " he has
signed II. Then we may have an OPP
portunity TO hear all about 1t. The
National Fertilizer Association is
meanwhile presenting objections to
the acceptance of the proposal. Their
circular shows that Ford needn't
claim to cheaper fertilizer as the sui
phate of ammonia which he can man.
ufacture there is n small ingredient
of fertilizers, being used to the
amount of four cents worth of sui
phate of ammonia to one dollars
worth of fertilizer.
Someone asks why the fertilizer as

ply that their interest is because be-
ing taxpayers they don't wish to have
this government pledge. itself to ex-
pend during the hundred years Of the
lease the sum of ses4,s35.ooo on the
property. This answer in the opinion
of prejudiced persons may seem mad
.equate for the reason that the fer

appeared interested in protecting the
taxpayer ana this sudden awakening
to civic duty Is suspicious.

THAT GENOA CONFERENCE

With the work Of the Washington
Conference incomplete the question
whether this country should be repre-
scented at the proposed Genoa Con-
ference is peculiarly embarrassing.
1t Is evident that President Harding
will not finally decide the matter I'M
til he has exhausted every effort to
consider the matter in the light of all
the facts. Is that conference ITO be
economic, as termed, or political in
effect? And what is Uncle Sam ex-
pected to do?
If the proposals our representatives
made at the Washington Conference
had been adopted they would have
contributed immensely to the eco
nomic relief of other countries. A
spirit of mutual confidence and the
consequent reduction in expense for
preparedness and warlike conditions
is capable of immense relief. But 1t
is quite certain that what the Con-
ference actually will accomplish must
eventually afford a relief which will
be far reaching, and without which
any conference at Genoa would be
practically futile.
Before we join many such confer
ence it should be clearly understood
that this country is not disposed to
take part in adjusting foreign quar-
rels, that it is not willing to vote more
money to be shovelled into the foreign
nav without any assurance that it
will be properly used; that We are
not disposed to assist the present
Russian regime to strengthen its
grip on that country, and that we are
convinced if those countries will re-
duce their warlike expenditures they
will simply be doing what the occa-
sion demands anG without which it
will be useless for them to appeal to
us
If a conference at Genoa may be
able to do as much as has been done
at Washington in two months it will
deserve support and Americans will
wish to feel that they have done
their part, whatever that may be.

The depreciation Of the Germs

The depreciation Of the German
mark smells of cut throat manipula-
ton. Much money has been borrowed
outside to be paid in marks, which
means that the borrowers now have
the value and the lenders have the
pledges. SHINES accumulated the
greater part of his enormous fortune
by buying property. mortgaging it
and buying more, getting into debt as
deeply as possible, all of which he
can pay in the easily gotten, volumi-
nously printed cheap marks.

RECOGNIZING RESPONSIBLE
TIES

Anyone susceptible TO impression
would have found t impossible to at
tend the meeting. yesterday, of the
Maine Federation of Women's Clubs
and fail TO notice, along with the
carnestness one has learned to eS-
pect at these meetings, an evident
sense OF responsibility.
The president of the Federation
fttinely expressed this spirit of the
occasion when she said that day is
gone when all the women have to do
at these meetings is talk about what
should be done. They now have to
consider the responsibility for law
making and enforcement, and she
urged them TO go home and see that
suitable law makers are chosen. In
view of what the women have done
or neglected to dds some Of the
large cities II would seem that she
was none too urgent for wisdom in
selection and aggressiveness in elect
ing and sustaining.
In this connection its is Of more
than passing interest that in the
metropolis of this country there are
not facilities for the education of the
children. n condition creating gen.
eral comment, and that the city's ad-
ministrators responsible for such a
deplorable state OF affairs were re-
Gently reelected with the aid Of wom-
en- who voted for them and women
who neglected to vote in opposition.
The women of Maine fortunately
are not called on to face such a situa-
tion in this State, but they will not
satisfy their sense Of obligation I'M
less they give unreservedly of their
Influence in the cause of education.
Those attending the Federation meet
ing were specially favored by reason
OF the opportunity to hear Doctor
ny sun Sinful. Ills survey OIL tHe
present needs evidently was made
with a clear comprehension of the
situation. Though recognizing what
Is now quite apparent, that schools
are limited in the things which they
may properly be expected to do; that
certain duties to the children should
DO undertaken by other agencies and
that attempts to standardize educa-
tion should be checked, his survey on
the whole was encouraging. Much
Improvement throughout the country
has been accomplished, but he called
attention TO forces which are likely
20 impair this under the stress for
retronchment. The obligation to
guard against these and at the same
time to see that methods of public
education are to be made practical
and kept free from the experimental
ton of visionaries is one especially
devolving on women now that they
have come TO the right If suffrage.

ment Of MY Parents

For some time after came to
my parents, they were very much
interested. They showed the
same keen interest in me that
they would in any other novelty.
They marVeled at my smaliness,
which wasn't any more interesting
to them than their largeness was
to me-the only difference being
that | had little more poise than
they and refrained from comment
ing on the situation. l am sure
you have never heard a bunch of
babies discussing among each
other the physical peculiarities of
their parents. / am sure [ have
never said to any of my friends,
Hasn't my Rough Face got
nlce-looking nose? Don't you like
the way his cars stand out?" And
yet It was 2 mere commonplace
for Rough Face to say to some
other Rough Face who called,
Hasn't the little Skeezix a cute
little nose. and don't you like the
way his ears stand out ?"-and for
the other Rough Face, who is
looking out OF the window, to say,
Sure"
But anyway, as I was saying,
began to wear off. / found it was
necessary to rejuvenate the inter-
est OF my parents, so l decided
would show them few more
tricks and give them something to
think about: One day l over
heard Smooth Face, my mother.
eNclafn to Rough Face, my father
about how smart the baby next
door was: he was beginning TO
walk already. l knew the little
mutt better than they did, SO /
said to myself, IF they think he
is smart, I'll show them" So |
got up from where l was sitting
on the floor and walked two steps
forward and fell fiat on my nose.
Would your believe it, rny foolish
parents thought that was the most
wonderful thing they had ever
sven? Smooth Face immediately
rushed to the telephone and called
up everybody she knew to tell
them all about it. Rough Face got
down on the floor and held out his
hands to me and tried to persuade
me to walk again, but my nose
still hurt.
The next day 1 walked some
more just to show them that the
f1rst time wasn't a fuke. and /
nave been going ever since, In
fact. l often overheard Rough
