he had inadvertently left in his room

L. A. Pittinger, weil known TO
Wayne county farmers since the series
of speeches he made during the farm

Poisoning the Sick.

If the State prohibition director,
Mr.. DAY, is right in saying that
some of the drug stores are selling
whisky that is not fit to drink then
a very mean. crime is being com
mitted The druggists who are offend.
ing should be severely punished.
There is plenty of pure whisky
for medicinal purposes. Druggists
who have the proper permits can
obtain all the pre-war whisky they
need for the filing of bona fide pre-
scriptions. More than that, they can
get it at prices almost as low as pre-
war figures.
Whenever a druggist fills a pre-
scription for whisky with bad stuff
it suggests that he has sold his quota
of good whisky as beverage and is
swindling the sick with whisky that
is unfit for anybody to drink.
That sort of druggist ought to go
to prison.

Chains for the Payrolls.
One Way to Protect Messenger
From Attacks by Holdup Men.

To THE New York HERALD: Bandits
who hold up messengers with payrolls
rely for success on a surprise attack and
quick getaway. Therefore the remedy
seems TO lie in delaying the robbers.
My suggestion is that the money be
carried in a metal box furnished with
a chain handle. The messenger has a
chain around his waist passed through
The handle Of the money box. Another
chain loops his neck and is fastened to
the waist chain to prevent the latter
from slipping to the ground. The waist
chain is provided with lock. the key
thereof, as well as the key to the money
box, being deposited at the messengers
destination
BY these means the bandits plan OF
a quick seizure OF the payroll Is en-
tirely foiled. They would not have time
to cut metal and their guns would be
quite useless for frightening the mes
senger into giving up the money.
The remedy Is inexpensive and would
make unnecessary the employment of
guards for the messenger.

The Reina Regente's Loss.
The Wreck Of the Spanish Warship
Found Near the Coast.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: note
the letter you print about the myste-
rious disappearance twenty-seven years
ago of Spanish warship named Reina
Regente. this occurrence being compared
with the mysterious loss four years ago
OF the United States collier Cyclops.
Your correspondent appears to have
the facts correct with regard to the
Reina Regente. with the exception OF
the fact that she was protected cruiser
and not battleship; that she had a
displacement of about 4.so0 tons and
not 5000 tons. as he stated; that the
ship was found some weeks after her
disappearance in deep water near the
Spanish coast, the top of one mast be-
ing just above the surface at low tide.

been getting the habit OF adding new
bureaus and never eliminating one.
The payrolls grow and the meddling
grows with them. Congress ap-
propriates money with which every
Tom, Dick and Harry with a new
obsession can go forth to regulate
everything and everybody.
New York State ought to take
the advice of those wise states
men Governor MILLER and Senator
WADswoRTH and decline to have any
thing to do with the Federal bureau
set up by the Sheppard act.
Everything that it is possible for the
States to do in the way Of necessary
governmental supervision should be
left to the States. That is what the
States are for. And when Washing
ton tries to take over the powers that
properly belong to Albany 1t is an
attempt, in the words Of Governor
MILLER, ito change our system of
government and to destroy the limi-
tations upon the exercise of Federal
power fixed by the Constitution"
The State of New York is great
enough and rich enough to take care
OF its own mothers and children. And
it is wise enough to know how-far
wiser than any Washington bureau
has ever become.

The Reawakening Of Business.

Recent increases in postal receipts
at fifty of the largest cities of the
country furnish a fairly reliable
yardstick for measuring the general,
il gradual, improvement in business
conditions. In February the total
receipts at these centers were $780,
339,220, an increase of $1,224,516, or
cal per cent, over the corresponding
month in 1921. The total figure is
the largest ever recorded for Febru-
ary in any year, and the increase of
$1,224,516 for the second month In
the year has been equaled only four
times since 1908.
The volume OF business passing
through the mails is always respon-
sive to the general tendency of indus
try and trade. The February i'm
provement Is all the more significant
and encouraging because 1t is not
confined to one section. In the Off
cial list of fifty post Offices only seven
comparatively unimportant ones show
a decrease, while in cities as widely
separated and as representative as
New York, Cleveland, st. Louis, Min
neapolis, Omaha, Memphis, Denver
and Los Angeles increases Of from 8
to Is per cent. are recorded. This re-
fleets the return of confidence, the
slow but gradual improvement in
business.

New Fisherman Racers.

The deep sea fishermen OF Nova
Scotia and Massachusetts are build
ing two new schooners to compete in
the elimination races to be sailed off
Halifax and Cape Ann next ssll pre-
paratory to the annual contest for the
International Fishermen's Trophy.
According to the terms OF these races
the 1922 series is to be held off
Gloucester. which, by all the tradi-
tions of sailing races, should give the
Yankee schooner the better of 1t.
AT Lunenburg, where the victorious
B1uenose of 1921 was built, another
schooner is on the stocks and is des-
tined to make try for the honor of
representing Canada in the 1922
series. At Essex, Massachusetts,,
schooner named Puritan is being
constructed which is to enter in
the home elimination races for the
honor of trying to win back the
trophy Elsie failed to keep last year.
1t is to be hoLed that the custom
of naming fishing schooners after
famous Americas Cup winners will
not have such unhappy results with
the new Puritan as it did with the
Mayfower, which the Halifax COM
mittee ruled out of the races on the
ground that she was more yacht than
deem sea fishing boat
1t is announced in Boston that
Mayfower's fishing trips this winter
have proved her worth as a real deep
sea schooner. On one trip she
brought into Boston 10000 pounds
of fish. 1t is also recorded that in
hard gales, when the rest of the fleet
was blown to leeward. Mayfower
worked to windward under foresail
alone, thus proving that she is a
very able sea boat. Whether this
testing of the Mayfiower vii; cause
the Halifax trustees to revoke their
decision Of last year remains to be
seen. But that does not seem likely,
since the vessel is precisely the same
to-day as she was when the trustees
took the attitude they did last year.

Screams in the Night.
Terror Inspiring Episode in Noun.
tain Lion Country.

To THE New YORK HERALD: In the
winter of 1S74-75 / was awakened one
night In my dugout on La Bonte Creek,
Wyoming, by the most unearthy wild
animal screams I ever heard before or
since. There were mountain lions In
that neighborhood that is. they used
to come down on the wild bottoms from
Laramie Peak and the Medicine Bow
range. L.ynxes and other members of
the cat family also roamed the country
| arose and with my old army car
hine made circle of perhaps mile,
and although II was pitch dark / discov-
cred tracks I was positive were those
of two lions. The cries convinced me
but whenever / thought l had located
the scene of battle ! found my mistake
and gave up the hunt until daybreak
About the next morning found the
spot in the bushes not 500 yards from
my dugout. The snow was covered with
blood, tufts of hair hung in the bushes
and there was every evidence at hand
of great battle. I kept some of the
fur and q month or two later showed
1t to beaver trapper who came to La
Bonte Creek with his grub and traps on
a packhorse. He insisted my battlers
were mountain lions.
AS my business was strictly that OF
chopping cordwood at s4 a cord for the
Fort Fetterman commissary. thirty miles
northwest, and incidentally poisoning
wolves, was unable to determine OF my
own knowledge what II was that kept
me guessing half the night. One thing
am sure Of: those ear piercing screams
were the most unearthly ! have ever
heard. and although at that time afraid
OF nothing that had life in It I'll admit
the screams almost struck terror to nv
soul
/ would be willing--and THE NEW
York HERALD ought to be-to let Enos

mountain lion howls or screams. He
knows. w. f. II.

Short Courses in Farming.

When short courses were estab-
lished at the various agricultural col
leges OF the country long step was
taken toward increasing opportunity
for training needed for the successful
practice of farming and stock rails
ing. Many farmers without the time
or means to take a full term of in
struction were able to attend short
course during the Christmas holidays
or at slack period in the winter.
These short courses have been
most beneficial to young farmers by
giving them chance to lay the foun-
dation for better understanding OF
their life work. Full time attendance
at colleges would have been impos-
sible for 3,346 boys and girls who,
according to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, took the
short courses during the summer
vacation or at other available times
at twenty-one agricultural schools.
Some of the things they learned
had to do with home making and
housekeeping, while others concerned
the farm and the flocks. Girls were
taught the latest methods in bread
making, laundry work, dressmaking
and other household activities, while
the boys had practical instruction in
the building OF poultry houses. feed
mixing, seed selection, flock culling
and the care, feeding and manage
ment of breeding stock.
The influence exerted by these
short courses is shown in the fact
that more than 5000 farm club mem
bers ambitious to acquire a broader
education and willing to work hard
for it are now enrolled as regular
students in the various colleges of
the Union.

wilma Another Fiurne.

That the situation at wilma has be-
come more complicated and that this
important town of the Baltic region
is rapidly developing into another
Fiume is very clearly indicated by
recent reports.
wilma has already been the scene
Of hard fighting between the Poles
and Lithuanians, of various attempts
at occupation by adventures who
would initiate D'ANNUNzIo's Fiumian
exploit, and its future status has
been a matter with which the Allied
Councils, the wilma Diet and the
Polish Parliament have alike vainly
struggled
wilma itself is even less responsi.
BILE for its unfortunate predicament
and unenviable present reputation
than Fiume is for the complications
which have troubled the scene OF
D'ANNUNzIo's efforts. In fixing the
boundaries between Poland and
Lithuania wilma was apparently ig-
nored, an oversight which, on ac-
count OF the strategical position of
the town on a newly established
frontier and Its Importance as an
industrial and market center, ap-
pears inexplicable. The Paris treat
les never clearly defined the line
between Poland and Lithuania, nor
have the allied nations or Germany
recognized the territorial limitations
OF Lithuania.
The result OF this neglect was that
wilma was retained by the Bolshe-
visits. They were driven from this
position by the Poles; they recov-
cred 1t and then permitted the Lith-
uanians TO set up a government Of
their own. Then came more clashes
between Poles and Lithuanians, with
sometimes one and then the other in
possession. Finally, in October,
1920, General ZELLGoUsKI. a former
Polish leader, with band Of insur-
gents, seized the town, defying the
Polish and Lithuanian Governments
and the commission OF the Allies,
which had endeavored to settle the
controversy by making awards of
the territory.
Then 1t was that the League OF
Nations took a hand in the matter.
It endeavored in the first place to
oust ZELLeoUsKT, but IL soon became
evident that some power was holding
him securely in possession. Then IL
endeavored to settle the controversy
by dividing LithuanIa into two parts.
one district with Kovno as its capi-
tai, in which the Lithuanians would
be supreme, and another wilma, in
which the Poles should supervise the
administration. SO matters dragged
unsatisfactory along until Febru.

by 90 to 9 for complete incorporation
