LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Return of the Horse


 Mir. Editor: W. E. Murphy, secretary of the, Master Horfeshoers National Pro- tective Association, and assistant secre- tary of the Horse Association Of Amer .ca, speaking at the annual convention of the horseshoers and blacksipiths of Connecticut held in MiddIetown, May 6. 1922, referred to some facts relative to the horse population that were illumi- hating to one hundred and fifty or more fp attendance at the meeting.
 Information conveyed in the remarks of Mir. Murphy. ip connection with facts and detailed statements of a most accu- rate chars cter which were exhibited show the horse to be far from a novelty or motive power of tha pass. The horse population of the country $ greater to- day than 1t has ever been. agricultural districts having commanded in the past seven years greater DOT on of the ksrse, amounting 10 approximi .osy ' per cent of those used in local trsnsports- :! in the cIties. ana tast ;-s mt Of horse power in the agricultural districts Is greater today numerically and from tbe standpoint of efficiency. than at any time before. Horses of a higher riand- ard breed are being produced in greater numbers than in 1917 to 1918, and the demand for the higher type of horses has become SO numerous in the horse centers of the country that those who discontin- ued the breeding of horses during the period of the war, are returning just as fast as service studs can be secured.
 The general trend of industries using the motive power in cities Is being d. fected to the return of the horse. In Philadelphia ip ts2is the horse popula-

A POINTED onEsrInN.

It is impossible to- disregard the point sd statement in letter to the Philadel- phia Public Ledger signed "A Colored Woman" when. in referring to a commit nication received her attendance at a mass meeting to protest against the ap- palling massacres of Christians in Asia Minor. she says: "Tn the name of the iternal verities, why should l be asked to protest against the so-called atrocities H the Turk 1000 miles away when in 'ur own country colored people are ynched, soaked in oil and burned as he stake without the slightest indjca- don on the part of Caucasian America hat its conscience is shocked or that hese hideous crimes are disgrace to Christian civilization? Can Turkish atrocities parallel these. or is the tender ness of the American conscience suscept. ble to ldistanceg"
 Witheut there being any doubt as tc The justification of the protests against he frightful conditions of those people being slaughtered by the Turks, this writer has nevertheless put a finger Or conditions right here at home which can not be ignored We do not need to gC lway from our own shores to find plen ly to do in the suppression of gross in Justice and in the upholding 10 miilIoni he rishts guaranteed to them under oui Constitution.

Along with the speciaIsw week movement throughout the country which has de- veloped to a surprising degree during the past decade for the educational benefit which is expected to go with it. there has rapidly multiplied the demands made upon school children.
 Clarence IT. Dempsey, commissioner of education of Vermont. has directed atten- Non to what he believes to be an acute sducational problem. In the past school rear as commissioner of education he has been asked to get the school children interested in the observance of ten spe- sial weeks. IA special days with exer- ises, eleven campaigns and club efforts. he raising of contributions for five Ruses besides numerous miscellaneous purposes, five essay contests outside of he general school work and five other activities in which the purpose was chiefly to get the manual assistance of he school children.
 The commissioner doesn't condemn them all but as might be expected he realizes that they divert the children lrom the regular school studies and pile ap much additional work on the teach ITS.
 It is a well understood fact that the seed properly planted in the young mind goes to fruitioR as the mind develops There Is much of educational value ir many of the special undertakings, but probably the Vermont scommiss.oner is sot the only one who wonders where 1t is rl going to stop and how much ought ts be sanctioned without interfering viii sassroola work
 He asks some pertinent questions wher le inquiTes:
 Which contribute to and which sub ract from real education?
 Is given activity worth more thai he regular work ft supplants?
 To what extent should the school b, utilized as public welfare establish uent instead of an educational institu hon?
 When do these distractions cease t snrlch and develop and begin to breal sown and dissipate the eaucations growth?

THn FouRrH or 1uLY.

Tn such part as we play in the usher ing in of the 146th anniversary of the birth of the, United States as an inde- pendent nation vs cannot fail to turn back in our thought to the conditions under which the action was taken that accomplished #. There were sturdy pa triots. there was a firm conviction that the time had come for decisive action, there was well recognized need of ending tyranny. and there was no overlooking of the struggle that could be expected.
 The spirit that moved those valiant forefathers laid Nthe foundation for this great government and Indicated the course that should be followed in the in- terest of national welfare. To such lead srsilip do we owe in large measure the uccess of this republic and the position { holds today among the nations of the world. The patriotism that fired the continental congress in 177e has contin- lsd down through nearly century and a half It Is an inspiration that cannot be escaped and 1t Is lesson that should hot be disregardsd.
 As Benjamin Harrison so well said l: Have you not learned that not stocks pr bonds or stately houses or lands or products of mill or field are our country It is a spiritual thought that Is in oui. hind It Is the flag and what 1t stands Tor; It Is It's glorious history; 1t Is the ireside and the home; 1t is the high thoughts that are in the heart, born of he inspiration which comes of the story of the fathers, the martyrs to liberty t g the graveyard into which our grateful country has gathered the unconscious lust of those who dled. Here in these filings is that thing we can our country 'ather than anything that can be touch- d or handled. Let me hold the thought hat we owe duty to our country ir Ssace as weH1as in SpaT.=
 Patriotism and loyalty should be evi- sent at all times and each year 1t is Feu that due thought should be given 70 the significance of the natal day as saeh anniversary Is celebrated and real Ee that the patriot is still needed if the aation is to continue its proud course

MOVING A BIG CROP.

Down in Georgia the melon growers have been getting big crops and the mel ons are ripening early. It is realizedl that unless they can be moved in large quantities and at once there is going to8 be big loss. Responding to the situa-l ton the governor of that state has made an appeal for the buying of melons this week in order to relieve the situation.
 The appeal isn't a bad one. It should get much better reception than the acts of some raisers or handlers of Esel- ons who have proceeded to send carload after carload of cantaloupes to the dump in order to relieve the great quan- tity in the market and thereby keep up the prices of that portion which Is of fered for sale.
 There arc communities where unusual prices arc being asked for waternelons regardless of the over supply. zn some instances this is due to unsatisfactory terminal facilities which makes 1t nec- essary for the melons to be cafted a considerable distance by auto truck. but with the supply above normal 1t would appear to be the logical time for the cutting of the price f. as declared. t is desired that the meien-eattng people of the country come to the rescue Of the raisers and help them to convert their crop into cash instead of allowing It to go to waste.
 There is no question but what the sit uation can be made mutually satisfac- tory to all concerned. Big crops moved at lower prices will bring as pleasing results to the handlers of melons as q small crop at higher prices, while, t will be the means of many getting a chance to enjoy watermelcns who might not oth- erwise be disposed. Tsrs opportunity for 1 the creation of demand is before the melon raisers. There are of course oth. CT expenses outside of the cost of raising that must figure in the selling price, but 1 it Is not possible for them to entirely eclipse the fact that there are So many melons that 1t is necessary. to appeal tc the people to prevent great wastage Nevertheless the appeal that affects the pocketbook and shows that the law. oi supply and demand is with it is the ap' peal that will bring the quickest results

land and everything upon 1t became the visible product of his own hands and mind. 'Srder and beauty,s says lis p.o- grapher, were of course the Atst quail, ties which he wished to stamp upon his surroundings To this efid he laid out the grounds immediately Surrounding his homestead. arranged the pasture and the garden lands, and began the planting of trees and hedges. He and Mrs Mitchell carried the small hemlock trees from the heights behind Edgewood and~with 'their own hands planted the hedges which sur
 round the garden and form the road boundary. The laying of stone walls and the building Of gates and gatsigays occupied much of hiS attention. In his wall laying he took particular pride. Af- ter the original wooden tenant house had accidentally burned. MT. Mitchei! plan
 ned and built chiefly from materials on
 his farm the beautiful little coftase
 which. now remodelled. Is the charming
 home of his daughter, Mrs. Susan Nit chell Heppin. The construction Of lthis cottage z6as one of MT. Mitcheil's first object lessons in the use of Con- necticut boulders for building purpeses. All his labofs of beautifying the orjSdoor Easpects of Edgewood were done quietly, and without haste"
 His biographer notes that his whole
 character was built upon a foundation
 of Puritan morality, that he was q wor-
 shipper of beauty. and that in ks writ ings he was an interpreter to AnacSica of the best in British life. 'He belongs | to the number of those choice spirits Washington Irving, Nathaniel Haw- thorne. George W.
