Back in the old days Henry Clay lost
his chance for the presidency because of
his disposition to straddle, issues. Modern

Supply and Demand Win

The other day. in the New York mar
ket. sugar registered new. all-time, low
price. 1t sold for 28 cents a pound.
Twelve years ago IN the same market it was
u cents a pound. This decrease is inter-
esting, particularly because Of the great ef-
fort which has been made to control sugar
production and price. M
In 1924 Cuba tried to stabilize the price
by restricting production, but other countries
ruined that project by promptly increasing
their crops. leaving Cuba with half its out
put unsold. Next. an international sugar
council was established at the Hague, with
Cuba, Java, Germany, Poland, Czeehoeso-
vakia. Hungary and Belgium agreeing to
regulate and restrict production and mar
keting.
The plan met with troubles from the
start. Cuba and Java alone now have un.
sold sugar reserves representing an investment
of $ll6,000,000 but worth only S70,-
100000 at current prices. The price would
drop still lower if any attempt were made
to market these reserves all at once. Well,
the nations keep on trying the game. 1t has
failed with coffee, rubber. nitrate, wheat and
sugar. What will be the next experiment
in beating the law of supply and demand7

International Difficulties

NJ "A trade boycott of this nation has actually
lbeen proposed in Paris. And the suggestion
comes from Greek delegates to the lnterna-
itona Wine Congress. 1t came this week
when many of those representatives of the
thirty nations participating in the congress
were as one in declaring that prohibition
movements must be combatted. While there
was no unanimity of opinion on the pro-
posed boycott of the United States it certainly
is indicative of the high pitch of feeling in
many countries where wine -produeing ranks
among the major industries.
The United States naturally has no repre-
sentatives at the meeting in Paris this week.
However. Premier Tardieu paused long
enough in his official duties and amid the
added burdens caused by the death Of Aris-
tide BRAND to declare to the assemblage that
the wine industry is facing crisis. The
economic depression, involving overprodue-
ton and nder-consumption, has hit the
winners hard everywhere and the only thing
for them to do is to organize and play poll
ties to the limit to protect your interests IN
your respective countries. .,' he declared.

brought prohibition to these shores of free

An Ounce OF Vitamins

Many names have been applied to this
era. but it is probably, as much as anything
else, the Vitamin Age. Newspapers and
magazines are full of articles about these
mysterious physical essentials There is
chatter everywhere about Vitamins A, B, c,
d, X, and sometimes Y and z. Or at least
that is the way it sounds. Every doctor
lectures his patients about them Food
producers and dealers print popular treatises
on them to sell their goods. Scientists in
their laboratories toll to discover what the
potent little wonder workers really are, in
their pure form.
1t seems possible to produce some of them
artifeially, by irradiating certain oils with
ultraviolet light. 1t may be that the solar
light is the ultimate source of all the vita
Minis found in foodstuffs. The vitamins
which give cod liver oil its virtues may be
traced. scientists say, to the sunshine falling
upon vegetation in the sea eaten by the
Goldfish, and then conveniently stored in the
fish's liver. The vitamins in bread may
be shot into the wheat by the sun.
All this will probably be made much
clearer before long. Meanwhile there is
great interest in. the announcement that Lon
don physicians have isolated Vitamin D,
getting it in crystal form. So pure and con-
eentrated is this substance that one onuee a
day, dissolved and fed to 100000 children.
would save them from ricketts, and promote
their growth. Here is news probably more
important than either the war or the sport

"MARCH MEETIN' "


Electors In Massachusetts towns
held their annual meetings on Mon
day, day which the gods who
control the weather made extreme
ly unpleasant for them. For all
that, the embattled farmers were
not daunted, even though those in
the Franklin town of Wendell made
their way through foot Of snow
In order to take part In the meet
Ing. They ousted the leader Of
one faction and even denied him
the right to vote when the regis
trars testified that he had lived
outside the town limits for the past
ten years. One feels sure that the
electors INDUCED In much CONVEX
sation around the supper table af-
ter chores were done.
It was q day Of economy, for
Sheffield voted down an appropri-
alton Of $4,000 for O new high
school, and Sandisfield declined to
make an appropriation for new
grammar school, but, to go across
the state, theh little town Of Gas
mold appropriated $13.076, which
included $500 for rat determination
work. He also note that Eliza
beth Allen, candidate for reelec-
ton for school committee, defeated
q man, 23 to 10. One feels that
the meeting was fairly exciting. It
Is noted also that in Freetown SAG
out of 500 electors appeared de-
spite snow and rain. Foxboro
voted q 10 per cent cut In the sal
aries OF all its teachers. while Lun-
enburg, heading In the same d.
rection, ordered 10 per cent re-
duction for all town employees.
Marshfieid, with Daniel Webster,
was not present, voted down q 10
per cent reduction Of salaries. The
town of Norton defeated the re-
duction Of teachers salaries by one
vote.
We still feel that Connecticut is
wiser in having its small town
elections on the first Monday in
October, for the chances of fair
weather are better, although in
the early 1905 and again in the
late COS bad weather sadly inter-
fered with the enjoyment of the
day. OF late, interest in these
meetings has seemed to decrease
in this state, which phenomenon
Is most unfortunate. since in these
meetings democracy comes down
among the people.

Honor to Washington

Milford will pay special tribute to Wash.
ington this year by thanking tree-n,ile Sec
ton of the new state road cutoff with
trees. State Highway Department officials
in charge Of this phase of roadside beautifl-
cation have assured Milfordites of their CO.
operation. The idea is being sponsored
by the Milford Association of Patriotic Or
CARNATIONS. Work of planting the trees
will start as soon as weather permits Main
tenance of them will rest in the highway de-
partment. Trees that die will be replaced.
The trees will be supplied by the state.
but actually will be paid for by donations
received from Milford residents. However,
as the cost is small, it is expected that a
beautiful avenue of trees will be provided.
In addition the highway department is to
erect signs at each end of the cutoff telling
the motoring public that it is passing over
roadway dedicated to the memory OF
George Washington and that the trees were
erected through the generosity of Milford
residents. Similar communities could we'll
follow Milford's example. 1t is plendid
way of paying tribute to Washington and
one that he would encourage were he alive
and the country honoring some other indi-
vidual on his 200th birthday.
The Washington Bieentennial Commits
sion has recommended throughout the nation
that trees be planted in honor of Washing
ton. 1t is simple but effective memorial.
one that will probably outlive any other
kind. In the Milford experiment each tree
will bear metal tag and corresponding
one given to every contributor to the tree
fund. SO that everybody will be able to feel
an actual personal interest in the avenue of
trees. That idea has been adopted often before
and works well. Up in the national for
ests Of the White Mountains there are tracts
Of white pine that are the gifts of individ-
uais from all over the nation. Every con-
tributor has his or her own tree or grove
