WHAT THEY DESERVE.

When 1t Is declared by Director Forbes Of the veterans bureau that this coun- try Is doing more for it's veterans than any other country in the world, even though it is so that the number to be helped Is much smaller, there will not te such great surprise inasmuch as this country takes a different attitude in re- gard to such a matter than other coun- tries do. IL even pays It's soldiers while in service much more than other coun- tries do 90 that 1t is expected that It would be as approximately considerate when it comes to sfter-war treatment, but 1t Is probable that there is little re- llizaion of the fact that there Is con iucted an insurance business for more than a half million men carrying policies amounting to three and a half billion dol lars without any expense of adrninistra- tion, the payment of million dollars a day in cash to ex-service men and their Dependents. vocational training and hos pitai care and treatment at an expense sf about 90 million and carrying on work h behalf of the disabled that involves a greater expense than that of the entire government 26 years ago.

PRESENTING THE FORD OFFER.

When 1t comes to disposing of gov- ernment property such as forts or the Muscle shoals project the authority rests with congress. A huge sum of money has been spent in Alabama in the de- velopnerlt of a power and nitrate plant. It was a war proposition which accounts for the governments part in the under taking, and while it had not been pushed to- completion by the time the govern ment's need was over there was raised the question as to whether 1t would be advisable to follow the money that had been put into 1t with more Or to salvage 1t much the same as other large under tallings. The retrenchment policy served to block any thought of completing the project, bue the possibilities of 1t have not been overlooked. Taken up and car ried along it should mean much to that part of the country anc if it can do what is claimed in the way of fertilizer produc- tion it should be of considerable aid to the rest of the country.
 Having been made an offer by Henry Ford, Secretary Weeks of the war de- partment has gone carefully into the merits of the plant as well as the offer. He has taken care to point out to con gress what can be expected from the plant as it stands, what it win obtain if 1t is turned over to Mir. Ford and what it is 9ossible for MT. Ford to do with 1t should the offer be accepted and the gov ernment put the required 40 million ol osQ mere into if.
 Secretary Weeks realizes that it is not for him to decide whether the offer should be accepted or declined. He be- iicves that he should present the propo. sttIcn to congress with such eniighten. ments as he has regarding it and what he believes the members should have He doosn't undertake to offer recommen. daticns even and thus refrains iron treading upon the duties of congress. bu 1t Is plain that he doesn't desire con
 eress 10 enter into any deal with it's eye.

MEANS MORE TAXATION.

However much there may have been & feeling that there was some untapped source from which 1t would be possible to draw the money necessary to meet any bonus legislation 1t seems to have been clearly set forth by the suggestions that have been made by the secretary of the treasury that such does not exist and tha- # such legislation is adopted it come from the levying of new taxes or aa increase Of existing ones.
 Tie idea of using such money as is re- eeived from the loans made to foreign gorernment, when interest or principal a'.e received. Is not approved but even F it had been it would not have relieved taxation To have relied upon such money for paying a bonus, granting of course that both will be paid would sim ply mean taking away such sources of income as the government must rely up- lu to meet its obligations to the people when the Liberty bonds come due. If there ls no Interest on the foreign loans and no payment of principal the govern ment must nevertheless keep up interest payments on the Liberty bon7s through
 
 Though he makes It q point to say that ie does not urge the imposition Of such taxes the secretary Of the treasury points cut that it is possible to lay new taxes cu first and second class mail. cigarettes and tobacco. documents. bank checks and -ptomobiles.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
SUNSETS

I love to think of beautiful sunset as Gods smile. love to think of the peace of the evening hour as God s benediction. What blessed ending of the day is a calm sunset hour! What a preparation for the companionship of the stars! What preparation for sleep, and what a. fitting time for rev. erence and thoughfulness and prayer is the sunset hour. God help us to live that, sunset which Heaven may send us may be marred with recollections of day i'll. spent. .-, ,--..
 Sunsets are symbols. Each year has its sunsets as well as each day. Au- tumns are the years sunsets. The crimson and gold of the october foli- age is the splendor with which the year paints it's west, as the sun shines toward it's setting. Thus the years robe themselves in beauty there they bid us farewell.
 But there is another and more im- portant sunset still It is the sunset of human life, The name we can il is old age. Toward that, sunset we are all hastenfng. What shall we find when we reach it? A dull sky? Dark and threatening clouds? No light? Alas!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Who Can reIie

Mir. Editor: In replying to letter sign ed Reader if the humane agent had nothing else to do but give the required time to looking after the much abused animals that frequent the streets, there would be little suffering, but how can a humane agent support his faTnily on work that does not pay him any salary? Can any one tell me? I see every day COWS going along the. strest partly covered with stable dirt and certainly no milk taken from such cows can be fit to drink.
 The cats and dogs are I think re- ceiving better treatment for 1t they don't get food one way they can help them selves to the garbage boxes also to the watering trough, if they are so fort unate as to be on the West Side. Now if the humane agent cannot give the time that is required to these snima's. what is to be done about it? While many have found are 50 willing to assist the able bodied men they will refuse thos' who call at their homes for morse of food.
 Why is this?

THE NEW ENGLAND AGRICULTURAL.
 SITUATION.

Following an exhaustive study and analysis of the New England ,agricul- tural situation by the bureau of agrb-ml- ture and the Bureau of information and Investigation of the Boston Chamber of Commerce. a report has been made pub lie and an abstract of the report fol- lows:
 Today when there Is no unsettled west, no land to be had for the asking is an appropriate time to take stock of agri- cultural New England. Because in New England we have shifted in our emphas- is from farming to manufacturing and because our staple food exports and our emphasis from farming to manufacturing and because our staple food experts and our cotton are grown in the west and south. we think of agriculture in this section practically in terms of the past tense.
 Yet in Franklin county Massachusetts, many farms in the last two decades have increased their production more than threefold due to progressive and scien- tific methods, This is also true of other countries. Today New England farmers are better off than in any other section because of their diversified farming and because they have great consuming cen ters almost at their threshold.
 
 It, takes more fertilizer, seed and labor to farm than In most sections Of the country, but yields are greater. Connec- ! ticut leads in the production of corn per acre. Competition from western prairie ] lands has made us cease save in one par ticu1ar section to raise cereal crops fl quantity. We have turned to diversified ! agriculture which dies not count st strikingly in the tables of basis croT statistics, but which does mean nor money in our pockets.
 Lament has been made In our pres ! that the number of farms in New Eng land is declining, but this is true aIs' ; for three other of the great geosraphi cal divisions. of the country and in fou sections the acreage likewise has. de creased As proof of the fact that Nev England Is turning to intensified farm ing, with effect, the per cent. of increas in the average value per farm has bee 1 much more for New England than fo the Middle Atlantic states, New Yorl i Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and com l pares well with other states.
 When the last census was taken showed that something over half bil lion dollars worth of farm product were raised in New England on abor

Is believed they should. In all probabil- ity the bureau is quite conscious of such facts and putting forth it's efforts in or der to bring about a correction as rapid ly as funds and time will permit. That there are many details and large respon- sihilities in connection with this service to the disabled goes without saying. though this is apt to be overlooked in connection with the criticisms which may be directed toward certain features of the work, especially when such are di- rected at temporary conditions which are slated for betterment just as rapidly as 1t can be brougSt about.
 There cannot be any toleration of neg hgence and there is no indication that such gets any sympathy under the poli- cies of the bureau. It is the attitude of the country that there Is nothing too good for the disabled veterans and that must always be the aim in dealing with those who have made such sacrifices.

Loyalty


 One of the most valuable virtues tc society is that which we term loyalty; that mental trait which makes a man stand true to his friends and his lead CTS. ...
 Without it, in it's larger sense. our civilization would be impossible. Rare indeed is the individual who does not have it in some degree. Rare is the criminal the avowed enemy of society, who dGes not have at least one per son for whom he has some feeling oi loyalty, even if but temporary and primitive. And often, indeed. he Is a criminal because his narrower loyalty simply has overshadowed his larged one. A spirit of loyalty is not neces- sarily of small degree simply because it is mistaken, unwise or u,ldeserye6. However, how would you judge whether a man had more or less than the normal degree of personal loyal ty? The portion of the brain which functions in the exercise of this vir- tue or emotion is located just back Of the bump" of combativeness. It par tially surrounds it, extending upward and somewhat aftward over 1t. Rough l ly speaking, if the head is very wide or narrow. you'll know that it is at ] least normally present.
