BY GEORGE Y, MassIse


 fwashington Bureau ef New Briisia hsrsidl,
 Washington. D. C.. Jan. is.-The silver service which the people Of Connecticut presented to the old Bat tieship Connecticut in 1908 is to be re- i turned to the state and placed on ex- hibition and for preservation In the state library at Hartford,
 Learning that the warship cennee- tieut once famous Queen of the seas. is to he put out of commission and consigned to the scrap heap. GeorEv S. Goddard. director of the state li- brary at Hartford. wrote Senator George P. Mclean asking him to use his influence to have the silver sery- ice presented by the people Of Con- nectieut returned to the state.
 Senator Mclean took the matter up with Secretary Dsnby and was today advised that the request will be com- piled with and that orders have been issued for the return of the silver service at once.
 When the Connecticut was put in commission on Sept. 20. 1906 she was said to be the biggest and most pow erful warship in the American or any other navy.
 Given By Gov. Roberts
 In keeping with the old custom tho people Of Connecticut presented the vessel with a silver service. The presentation was made on behalf of tho state by Governor Henry Roberto. of Connecticut. at the Brooklyn navy yard on November ci. 1906.
 It cost sS.600 and consisted of tho following 3s pieces: 1 punch bowl and stand: 1 center piece and stand: 1 punch ladlc. salad spoon. saiad fork. salad bowl. fruit bowls. 24 goblets and bon bon dishes.

NEW MARKETING PLAN
TO BE GIVEN TRYOUT

According to a press dispatch from
Boston today, a system of country
wide simultaneous marketing will be
inaugurated here next Thursday when
by means of telegraph wires spread
ing from the Faneuil Hall market to
New York, Pittsburgh, Chicago and
Los Angeles, carloads Of fruit and
fresh vegetables will be sold at auc-
ton by the National Auction company
Of Pittsburgh.
The experiment will be continued
for 80 days. It's purpose is to ex-
pedite freight movement and thus off
set the disadvantages of car shortage

centers will be provided with lists o.

Find Way to Obviate
Annoying Inductance

Those Of US who have reached the
~half-century mark viii remember when.
In the early days Of the telephone we
used to hear several parties talking at
the same time On one pair Of wires
In addition to this. noises were heard
on the lines ike the twittering Of birds
and the frying Of eggs. This was
called "cross-talk."
1t was a great mystery for soma
time but was finally traced by experts
to what Is called inductance. If you
place several wires In a cable, all well
insulated. and send a current of elec.
tricity through one Of them, 1t by some
mysterious process sets up a sort of
sympathetic current in one or more
Of the other wires.
The engineers Of the telephone com
panies discovered several WAYS "a

The buying and holding of a large
part of the surplus of wheat or any
other annual crop might be of tenn
porary benefit, but unless production
of that crop were controlled it also
would make conditions worse. An
annual crop must be sold annually,
rot accumulated.
Insofar as our exporters C Hgri-
cultural products find themselves at a
disadvantage in dealing with foreign
countries because rates of exchange
or opportunities for exchange of COM
modities favor foreign competitors,
they should be helped by a government
agency to make easier credit condi-
tions on American purchases.
Freight rates on agricultural pro-
ducts are altogether higher than agri-
culture can afford to pay at the pre-
sent time. Farmers must have good
transportation service. The railroads
must not be crippled, but a reduction
Of at least 25 per cent in freight
rates, especially on agricultural ex-
port commodities, should be brought
about in some way without further
delay. The entire structure of freight
rates should be analized.
If, as seems evident, we must admit
ourselves to be on a permanently
higher cost of production in industry
!, as well as agriculture, a normal rela-
tiOnship al be restored only by bring
ing agriculture prices up to some
where near the level of other prices.
The most hopeful prospect for ac-
= cOmplishing this purpose is through
establishment by government of an
agricultural export commission or cor
t poratiOn with broad powers. Ex-
/ pressed himself as favoring effort to
o establish such corporation. Details of

= benefits of a domestic market. Agri-
: culture is in large part on the world
market. Plan suggested is simply an
s effort to get agriculture off the world
market and give it the benefits and
privileges which industry and labor
enjoy.

per capita consumption Of both wheat
and meat.
The war administration caused
large advances in freight rates and
fixed upon for some time to come
a large part of these advances by
granting heavy increases in wages and
marked changes in wage classified
ton and hours of employment.
The war administration contributed
very much to the imitation Of living
costs and of farm costs of production
by encouraging the cost-plus system
in other than agricultural Industries.
During the war the administration
lent itself to great initiation in general
and this imitation was encouraged
either directly or indirectly after peace
and up until the summer of 1920 in
stead of being checked. Then almost
at once a drastic deflation policy was
inaugrated, which was especially eff
fective as to agriculture and which
many believe to have been directed
against agriculture These policies had
no little part in bringing about the
distorted relationship between prices
for agricultural products and prices
for other things which is the ROOT
our troubles now.
Because of these policies the gov,
eminent has very direct responsible
tiles to the farmer and should d.
everything it properly can to help re
store normal relationships between
agriculture, industry, commerce ant
labor.
Attention must be given to condi
ton Of agriculture as a whole. JUS

tion is but one symptom of a general

problem is to re-establish fair ratio
between agriculture and othe
things.
Little faith in efficacy of arb

Protection Fur.bearino Animals


Stories of cruelty to domestic ami
mails caused by the careless setting
or traps, in sections of York county
were related to the committee on in
iand fisheries and game at its hear
ing Thursday afternoon on an act
10 protect the fur bearing animals of
mat county. A number of fox hunt
ers from the kennebunk section an
peared and told of losing valuable
doGs In the traps strewn over the
woods and in the woods paths.
Is. A. Parker of North Berwick,
game warden. related an instance in
which a South Berwick man had
caught - foxes in traps. and of a
North Berwick man who sells his
recipe" for catching foxes and thus
commentaries the game. Every
man who guns does not gun accord
ing to law. any more than the man
who traps" said Mr.. Parker. He said
that he thought if the county was to
be respectfully protected there should
be at least four wardens.
Representative Granville of Par
sonsfeld objected to the proposed act
on the grounds that it referred to all
fur bearing animals. He said that
he knew of many farmers boys who
SCI a. uttlS IcNSilue from trapping
skunks and he did not think they
should be deprived of that profit.
John o. Foss Of South Berwick also
appeared in opposition, stating that
he had petition signed by 154 men
of his town protesting against the
measure. He thought there are now
just as many foxes in that section
as there in years. gone by.
William S. Linnell of Portland,
representing the Pleasant Pond Pro-
tective Association, appeared in be-
half of a resolve asking for $500 to
aid in screening Pleasant pond in the
plantations Of Caratunk and The
Forks.
Next was taken up an act relating
to plug fishing in Mooselucmaguntic
and Richardson lakes. Oxford and
Franklin counties. to repeal the pres
ent plug fishing prohibition.
Representative Melcher Of Rum
ford favored the proposed change in
order that children and others might
have the privilege Of fishing from
wharves. He said he did not ask that
plug fishing be allowed from boats.
