"SLURRING" | POLICEMAN

A policeman may be sensitive, yet be valuable member of the force. This must be the conclusion of Police Chief Hart. who succeeded in retain- ing William Politis, supernumerary policeman, in the New Britain depart ment after Politis was chagrined to the point of resigning as a result of being "slurred" in a dance hall by several lady dancers.
 Hurling mean remark" at a po- liceman is no way to treat custodian of the public peace. Girls who indulge in such senseless pleasantries give the impression to eavesdroppers that they will make bad wives: at least wives who won't hesitate to hand stinging verbal package 10 their hus- bands. A loving and doting swain, out for good time with his best girl, had better drop her quickly if he hears her talking back" to a police man. Such an incident should caution him as to what he has coming 10 him if he ever acts as kitchen policeman in the matrimonial lockstep.
 II would seem that the modern New Britain policeman needs mental armor while on duty. Nobody in the city aeems to have any use for a police man" Mir. Politis is said to have told the chief, Such s remark certainly comes from a lack of experience. l.aw-breakers, potential and actual. may have no use for the bluecoats, but most of us are not in this class and can assure Mir. Politis and the chief that we regard them highly.
 The next time Mir. Poitis is slurrod at he should do his duty and make some arrests, The slurrers should be made 10 realize that pin -prlcking at the law Is best done before the judge. where is requires sufficient nerve to make if interesting.
 Every knock is hoor, Mir. roiitis. out with your chest.

BARNES NS. BARNEs

Bristol got prominent position O the editorial page of the New Iori Herald Tribune the other day, and al because Arthur $. Barnes, editor 0 the Bristol Press. saw fit to answe in pointed manner the query of Ed win $. Barnes, presumably of tha city, as to why he placed his childrel in a factory at the age Of eleven years
 In a letter to the New York paper Editor Barnes makes it plain he doe not defend child labor in factory but adds that he considers the separ ate states amply competent to legislat' cn that question"
 The editor then continues:
 T began selling newspapers at
 the age Of eleven, and during the
 summer vacation l picked berries
 on a farm. l believe that this
 work did me good.
 Your correspondent is curious
 10 know what my children are do-
 ing. l have three children. One
 son is just finishing his second
 year at Yale. Before he went to
 college hedelvered daily papers,
 starting at it while still in the
 grammar school. 1 have a daugh-
 ter in Wellesley, just finishing her
 first year. Before entering Well
 lesley she was employed at gain
 full occupation in her fathers of-
 flee and had learned considera-
 ble about business affairs before
 leaving home. l have son six
 teen years old who is to be grad
 uated from the local high school.
 He has worked on farm in the
 summer more or less since mere
 lad and during school days has
 carried papers and also collected
 on weekly pay routes. He hopes
 to work this summer in a dairy
 farm.
 If these children had been de-
 prived of all this 'gainful occIpa-
 tion' until they had reached the
 age of eighteen l should have felt
 s great deal of their education
 had been neglected. l hesitate to
 put these purely personal affairs
 in print, but your correspondent
 dares me. so here it is. Possibly
 Edwin s. Barnes will tell us what
 his children are doing"
 Editor Barnes makes out a good ase for his children. Their education pparently is not being neglected. The ime is soon here when they will think hey are wiser than dad,
 But when the editor thinks the separate states amply competent to egislate on that question: there are ome who will not agree. Hasn't the ntire campaign against child labor cen predieated upon the premise that ertain states in the union, although 10 lcgislate on the question, refuse to do so?
 If every state in tho union took -ad- antage of its privilege to legislate gainst child labor there would be no eed 10 sgitate for constitutional abolishing it. Federal hild labor laws were twice found nn- constitutional by the supreme court n the ground that they infringed pon the inherent rights of the states; ut the only states that refuse to pre- ent child labor in factories are lo- atcd in the south, so that the refusal [ these backward states to legislate long acknowledged humanitarian nes forces sdult labor in the ma ,rity of enlightened states 10 com cte with the produtts Of child labor l a small minority Of southern states.

BACK TO THE FARM

Within the next week or ten days
Mr.. and Mrs. R. v. Plant expect to
move to the Buckley homestead, To-
Gated on the west shore of Sank
Lake, four miles north of Sank Cen
ire. This does not meaen that Mr..
Plant will discontinue his thriving
welding business in Sank Centre for
he will drive to and fro and carry on
his business in the usual manner.
Mrs. Plant is one of three daugh-
tiers of Dan Buckley, deceased, a
pioneer who homesteaded SO years
ago on the place where Mr.. and Mrs.
Plant contemplate moving and until
just recently no others save Buckleys
have called it home.
After several years spent as prin-
cipal of schools and with the thought
of returning to the homestead where
her girlhood days were spent, Mrs.
Plant is what one would call "Tickled
pink" She has made study of agri-
culture and is fitted to get better re-
suits from the farm under her sup
ervision that could possibly be made
by renting. The young lady's moth
err, Mrs. Mary Buckley, will spend the
summer months with her daughter
and son-in-law on the farm.
Mrs. Plant was one of the thirty
three out of $4,000 contestants to
win a cash prize for the best name
sent in for Sweet Cream Butter
which contest was recently put on
by the Minnesota Cooperative Cream
cries Association. The name selected
from those sent in by Mrs. Plant is
not known as yet.

Cooperative Butter for
Boys In the u. S. Navy
Entire Contract Is Awarded to the
Minnesota Cooperative Creamer-
les Association

Sweet cream butter, made in CO.
operative creameries of Minnesota, is
to be used exclusively in the United
States navy. A contract to supply
100000 pounds has just been award
ed to the Minnesota Cooperative
Creameries' Association, according to-
an announcement made by H. F.,
Meyer, sales manager.
The award covers 100000 for the
yards at Norfolk, Va, and 10000
pounds for those at San Francisco.
The butter will be packed at the ST..
Paul headquarters of the Association
in 5-pound tins during April and May.
Upon receipt, the Government will
place it in cold storage until needed.
The association was awarded the
contract at price approximately 10
cents above the New York Extra
market, because it is position to sup
ply vast amount of butter of uniform
grade and quality in short period
of time.
This is the first time all the butter
for the navy has been purchased
through one agency. In years past,
isolated creameries of the state have
shipped a small part of the supply =
Never before has the San Francisco
yards been supplied from sources OUT
side California.
"The contract is a great step
forward for the Association said Mr..
Meyer. cit shows that expert buyers
now realize that the Association is
able to supply highest quality III
large amounts and can guarantee the
grade at all times. This we are abel
to do because we are sales agents for
a large majority Of the best creamer-
les in the state"
