Approval ot the Retail Tobacco Code makes 1t binding on dealers to restrict the free disposal of matches. With each unit sold only one package may be given away. With box of 25 cigars five packages can be given. All of which may interest those who insist on securing their free matches with each purchase of pack of cigarettes. Time was when matches were sold and not given away, but the age of premiums has this nation so thoroughly in its grasp that successive generations are brought up with the idea that for every article bought there should be something free to bind the bargain.

Vandalism in Connecticut has long wor. ried public officials. There does not seem to be any thorough means of ending 1t. Every so often we read about parks being ravaged by people who steal trees, shrubs, and flowers. In Winsted the other day two small maple trees on the lawn of former town prosecutor were slashed with a knife. A town forest in Fairfield county was recently raided and small trees stolen. Respect for property was never at such low point.

Nature Takes Ton

News of she drouth and heat wave ham, mering the corn belt is sharp reminder neither over-production nor high freight that the farmers primary enemies are rates, but ancient inanimate forces that can neither be defeated nor wholly under stood. The first cave man who scratched the soil wit ha stick and dropped a few
 i'd seeds into the scratch was at the mercy of the elements; and the ultra modern farmer, who usese expensive ma chinery and gets advice from his state agricultural college, is, in the last analysis, in the same boat.
 Whether he will get good crop depends on things over which he has not the slight est control rain, wind, and sun. If they are kind, his ground will yield boun- tifully; if they aren't, it won't, and there is nothing he can do about it. The. old risks in all the world -are the same now as they were before the pyramids had been built.
 The corn belts sufferings this spring remind one of those eerie predictions some geologists have made = that the greater part of the interior of America is destined, some day, to become semi-arid and bar ren, a nearly waterless region, where things will not grow and men will not be able to live except as scattered nomads To be sure, not all geologists make this prediction, and those who make it put the time of this change far in the future - which, to geologist means anywhere from 50,000 years up; so that no one need worry for fear that the hot, dry weather which is blighting crops today is the forehunner of the deserts arrival in Iowa.
 Neverthelss, these stories of parching think about it. And they lead one to won- der how long it will be before men get sense enough to settle their differences with one another and present a united front toward their real enemies - the implacable and unresting forces of nature.
 For these troubles of the. present day - over-production, marketing difficulties, tariff restrictions, falling prices, and the like - are, after all, secondary. Settle them all, and there still remains the task of forcing the earth to yield enough to feed her teeming millions That is the oldest of all society's problems, and it will probably be the last to be solved.

The other day letter appeared on this page from writer in which attention was called to the glaring inaccuracies and of- tentimes harmful statements appearing in the histories that are given to children in our grammar schools. The letter in ques- tion referred to history book in use in the schools of Bayonne, N. J. Criticism was directed against various school offi- cials because the teacher allowed students to read such passages as stated that ". (. . the people of Spain and Portugal arc lazy, backward and extravagant :" A boy carried this passage home to his father, man born in Spain, now an American citizen. Naturally he con,- plained. Who wouldn't? We don't want history books used in Europe to say that Americans are Tickle race much ad- dicted to gambling or words to that ef- feet We should take the advice of mem. bers of the Canadian Catholic Historical Association. In recent meeting in Otta- wa 1t went on record as opposed to any form of bigotry in the history books that are placed in the hands of growing chil. dren. Nothing can produce more lasting and harmful effects than bigoted history book or one in which facts give way to fairy tales.

Through the United States, many
crops are rendering due harvest. In
our especial locale the spotIights are
focused, at present, upon beans and
tomatoes. The cogs of industry are
humming to preserve them for flu
ture use. Little do we realize the
years of experimentation that n AXE

ervation possible. The tomato has
only recently 100 years. been con-
sidered edible. Our grandsires. T1any
generations in the past. cultivated
the tomato plant in their flower
gardens for the aesthetic value of
its fruit only. Now, it appears upon
nearly every table in North AmeTi-
ca. Then too, our common beans are
supposed to have come from South
America, thus the name Lima. We.
however, give little attention to the
original habitat of the food we are
eating. Why should we? Besides
the science, we must bow to the
government for its pure food laws.

$500 per month and at another time SIS
90. When he was receiving So 90 per
month that gave him about q cents per
day. and when he was receiving Sl5 90
per month that gave him 50 cents per
day. If we take into consideration what
1t costs a man to live. even though THIS
employee owned property, his salary
was so small that he couldn't insure it.
If the property was insured he would not
have had to come 10 the Government and
ask for help, the amount he would have
recovered from an insurance would have
been sufficient for him to build his home
Taking that into consideration and the
proponen Mt has stated that this employee
has given % years of good service. and
the fact that be is sixty years of age and
his wife is seventy, and as bis wife is un-
able to do much, | suggest that the Coun-
ell increase the salary. net TO $40 90 but
to $50 90 per month. because this en-
ployee is WORKING twelve hours every
day. If he is to be made Chief Male
Attendant and the otner attendants are
receiving $500 per month. it does not
seem as if you can call him cher con-
siderlng the increase proposed for hin is
only S. 90 per month | strongly advo-
cate that TINS Council increase this en-
Dloyee's salary to more reasonable
amount 70 give him an increase of S.. 90
per month. while II would be help | do
not see now it can tide him over consid-
dering he has to pay rent. And now. Mr..
Chairman. this particular work requires
a careful person, he is supposed to see
lhat the male attendants at the Asylum
get their meals at the proper time, see
that their hair is cut. etc. So far as |
have inquired about this man and the
Nurse In charge says that be has aIw avs
given good service. | hope that honor
able gentlemen will see it fit to increase
aIary of this employee to $4,000 per
month.
1st Appointed Member (Moorehead):
Mr.. Chairman. If we are going TO grant
this incrsas of SIS 0o let US DO it quickly.
| will vote for this draft to increase the
salary of this employee.

stltutlon for tive nty three years, while
On DUTY at the Asylum lost his home and
personal effects by fire. be is in past six.
ty years and his wife is older. she,
think, is seventy years of age. he made
application to the Government for Mu.
nlcipal loan to nep him to be build his
nome. That ttlOn came to the Munich
pal Committee Ia due course and it is our
opinion that man of such advanced age
and who has been twent-three years in
service and whose salary at an average
is not more than $l2 90 per month, it
would be no benefit to him to grant him
loan, but we thought the c1se a very de-
serving one. We had Mr.. Nesfied be.
fore the Committee and we investigated
the case thoroughly. We thought of
finding Municipal property for him TO
live in free of rent. we had in mind the
old Richmond hospital Laboratory but
that did not seem practicable. so we
thought rather than grant him a loan
which he would have u paw back to the
Municipality we sh pld do something
practicable to help. 50 the Committee
finally came to this decision, for the
greater part of the time he has been in
service mis- salary has been So 90 per
month. later she has received $1,000 per
now it is SIS 90 pei month. the Commit
teeathought the most practicable way TO
assist him is to make recommendation to
the Governor to give him a certain
amount $4,000 from the Hurricane Loan
Fund so as to enabie him to purchase
clothing and personal effects and it was
suggested to the Governor to recommend
to the Colonial Council that his salary be
increased from SIS 90 to $1,000 per
month so that he may be able to pay his
rent. The Governor has concurred in the
recommendations of the Municipal Com
mlttee and that's the reason why this bill
is presented by me this afternoon
want TO draw attention TO the fact that
the salary is for seven months of the pre-
sent fiscal year. | forgoc to make the
necessary amendment on the Revenue
side of the budget, hut will do that by
adding $35. 90 to income Tax.
