the general feeling Of pessimism that pre-
vailed In most lines at the beginning of the

ing strikes and recent fears that boil weevil

picked.
And the same men who went out in the
face of these unafvorable conditions deter-
mined through ZEAL enthusiasm and hard
work. backed up by line Of well-advertised
goods that they knew were the best ever and
are going out this year determined to double
those Of 1922 In 1928. These salesmen are
from all parts of the United States they see
and are in touch with conditions and all agree
that they can do 1t. Some of the older sales
men who have seen and helped the unpre-
cedented growth Of this organization. are
looking for even greater developments In
1928 than ever before.
The Plough Chemical Company Is now ship
ping their Black and White Toilet Requisites

AMERICAN TREEDONL"

Americans arc in the habit oi pointing with pride" to our freedom and looking upon England, a monar- chy, as land where liberty" is an unknown thing. It is rather amusing to read the comment of one English newspaper on the bill presented by Lady Astor which would prohibit the sale of intoXicants to youths under IS for consumption on the premises where it was sold. Tt is a foolish bill," says the English Daily Mail' adding that it's whole idea is un- British in it's interference with liber- ty. We do not want these trans-At-
 antic measures introduced here by persons who prefer to live in this country rather than in their own land"
 Think of it--an English newspaper calling ''un British in it's interference with liberty a bill which is far less an interference with liberty than the law under which we, free Americans, are living. What a commentary. Imagine it--over in that terrible country where there is king and where there are subjects they con sider that it would be interfering with liberty to prevent selling liquor to boys under IS where the stuff was consumed on the place, while in this liberty loving country the law pro- hibits the selling of liquor to anyone at all if it is to be used for beverage purposes,
 Long. long ago England made our forcfathers fight for liberty and free dom by their treatment of those fore fathers. Some people have been bold enough to hint that tyrannical laws in this country will eventually make the people of this country again fight for liberty and freedom.

SECOND THOUGHTS

A few days ago the report appeared that Harold Schwarm, the oncc-was- almost-de Bourbon, was going to work as cook. Fine! Wasn't that democratic of him? Moreover wasn't that a straightforward, manly thing for chap to do who was under a cloud which might prove but mist and might be forerunner of a storm? And how fine of him to go to work, real work when he might be earning at the rate of $40,00e or S50,- 900 writing his life story! One was tempted to discourse learnedly upon the wisdom of his action.
 But one refrained. Today comes the news that, though he may still go to work temporarily at the art of cooking he may seek to elevate the vaudeville stage, giving monoogue "a "monologue.' incidentally. being something princes and pseudo princes enjoy indulging in.
 Of course there is nothing the mat ter with the vaudeville stage. It en- tertains one, often. Vaudeville actors are often worthy people. Vaudeville

ZONING

A zoning bill has been introduced in the legislature. It is unfortunate that this matter was not taken up long ago by the people of New Brit ain, movement repeatedly suggested by this newspaper. The practical re- suits of 8 system of zoning would bring increased value to property, or at least an assurance that property would not be appreciated in value be- cause of new building, and would not by the adoption of the system, lessen the value of any property.
 A simple test of the value of the plan comes when a man thinks of building a home, for instance. The first question he asks is whether or not the locality is restricted" If it is, the land immediately assumes greater value in his eyes. Often ru- mors of the possible erection of a building near mans property cause him real anxiety. The zoning system would relieve him of all worry on this score. In word the zoning system provides against the deterior- ation of any neighborhood whether it be residential business or manufac- turing.
 Zoning is growing in popularity all over the country as its benefits are being recognized and as people are waking up to the wisdom of 1t. On January 1, 1923 there were 100 cities, towns and villages under the zonng system as compared with 55 just one year before. Eighty-one per cent of the urban population of New York State lives in zoned municipalities. The cities, towns and villages of the country are looking favorably upon the system. Eventually it will be in universal use. The sooner it is adopt ed the better the results that come. ! A walk about this city, for instance. and a sight of many once-attractive | pieces of property the value of which | has fallen because of the change that !, has come to the neighborhood since 1! that property was improved. will con

FISHING LICENSES AND POSTED
 BROOKS

Today in the state capitol building there is to he held n hear ing on the question of charging a fishing license to residents of the state by the Fish and Game commissioner, quite properly that license should be charged in order that the money thus obtained should be used to pro- duce more trout in hatcheries for planting in brooks about the state. This is as it should be. There is not fisherman who would not be willing to pay a dollar or so year in order to insure himself better fishing But the joker in the whole deal seems to be that the fish, raised on state money for people who are willing to pay a license fee, are planted in brooks upon which only a chosen few may fish.
 There is at hand a report of the Fish and Game commissioner for the present year. During 1922, accord ing to the report, there were approx imately 10000 trout planted in cer- tain five brooks in the vicinity of Nesy Britain. The people of the state paid for these trout. And four out of the five brooks, to the knowledge of the writer were posted in whole or in part last fishing season and probably will be this year if they have not been all along The other brook he does not happen to know it is probably posted also Only a chosen few may fish on these streams, although every one is expected to furnish the fish, The same conditions may obtain all about the state. we are writing about brooks of which we know.
 It is time that the Fish and Game commission stops its arguments for a license on the plea of making fish better for everyone when it is doing as IL appears to De uOills III tHiS particular section. The public should not be taxed to benefit the few, despite the power and influence of that few
 Let the legislature, if it wishes to tax fishermen also ensure that the fisherman gets a chance to catch the fish that his money has raised. Let it adopt a law to stop posting of stocked brooks. Let the fishing clubs pay for their fry if they wish to stock their brooks and keep others off.
 The seeming fact that the posted | brooks have been stocked indicates either that the commission does not l know what it is doing or it is playing | favorites in the distribution of fish. Stop talking licenses until a license will allow one to fish where there is fishing.
