A slippery industry. ———— Montana is trying to make the President sorry he didn’t go there by announcing the discovery of a fur-bearing fish which has been caught in Iceberg Lake. e President Coolidge is proving to the farmers that he still knows something about farming, even though he has graduated into the class of being a theoretical agricul- turist and absentee owner. —_— Another chauffeur got married to the heiress he chauffeured around. ‘Without a doubt the chauffeur busi- ness has great possibilities. The time may yet come when a young man, in order to get along in the world, must tirst become a chauf- feur. There were days when everyone wished he owned some of Mr. Ford’s stock. The trend today is to- ward a wish to own some of the stock of Mr. Ford's chief competi- tor. The financial mystery of the day, however, is whether the alr- plane stocks are ever going to be worth their salt. AIR CONTRACTS Alr contracts continue to be made by the post coffice department and the day is soon here when one can send a letter to almost any distant point with directness and dis-| patch. Closely following the nouncement that a contract had | been lot for air mail service be- tween Key West and Havana, comes the information that a contract had | been let for such a line between Albany and Cleveland, with stops at Schenectady, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo. This will follow the main line of the New York Central | railroad, and one wonders why the fl)’\-' | 192 i terminus will be at Albany instead ot New York. the | ¢ of Albany could pro- An extension of air line ea duce an additional alr mail service for New England; but that evident- ly is not necessary at present, when | the one existing | e dwith In time, however, e is not overload- mail, it | may be another story.

TWO FARM VIEWPOINTS C. D. Velie of Decre & W of Minneapolis, who with the prosperity—or lack of in the farming industry, is oy tic about the 1927 they wiil yield to the farmers. This is going to be a picture from will are ider crops and W two angles, so we quote Mr. Velie first: “As far as our corn crop here is concerned it is a little late, but there is still plenty of time for it to pick up and gome NG s T e |turned by Bob T through all right. The balance i of our crop is excellent and the farmers generally speaking are prosperous up here except for the following: “1. The one crop farmer. “2. The indifferent and lazy farmer on poor land. He will never be prosperous. The farmer who has speculated in land and has been extravagant. He may go under. “Farmers that have raised their living on the farm as much as possible and planned their work so that they had something to do the year round are making money and have been right along.” That sounds quite convincing un- til we glimpse the report made the other day by the Department of Agriculture. The gist of this report farm in this country ¢ s of 315 acres, and the average stment is $16,308. nd the average net return during | was that the average in 6 was $1,1 Tt is hard tc reconcile the second | projected by the Minneapolis grain man. But take | ur choice, Youw'll helieve what you plcture with that want to believe anyhow. SOAKING THE UNWARY Down in Berlin the police court has never been noted for unex- ampled lenfency toward automobile drivers who are convicted of making sport of the law. Berlin is no place for speeding; the possibilities are too great. It is essential at such a point to throw the fear of the Lord into the hearts of the unwary. One New Britain man, for instance, was flned $100 and sent to jail. They'll be doing worse than that when the Beach Swamp road is completed. From cities throughout Connecti- information that the down cut conies judges are stepping reckless and drunken driving. Tt fs upon gétting common to read of ‘“severe sentences”—some of them not se- vere enough considering the dangers that the innccent public is forced to face through the recklessness of a few. In Meriden a campaign got started last week and the judge announcad it would go hard with all the convicted; Waterbury has staged a campalgn against the reck- less element and it s going fine; New Haven kad one and the results have been good, except on the Mil- ford Pike. Tt has been frequently sald that “something will have to be done to discourage reckless driving.” The way to do this something is to do {t—and the police and judges have the power. DON'T THINK; JUST VOTE Tha weekly letter of the National Founders Association this week goes into the perils of thoughtless voting. Listen: “We have, it may be sald, fifty per cent of our citizens who go to the polls to vote, How much of the voting is auto- matic? How many of them for sentlmental or traditional rea- sons, vote a partisan ticket in which they have no interest from the point of view of the good of the state, or vote auto- maticaily without any knowl- cdge whatever? How many of our citizens voting at even a presidential election know the important economic, financial and political factors involved in the election of candidates? When it con:es down to the per- centage of voters who cast their ballots with a definite idea and intention, we are afraid that the figures would be rather humiliating to us as a nation.” All of which is quite true. But let an election roll around and we'll bet the hole in doughnut to a cubic foot of air that the N. F. A. will be among those strongly advocating a continuation of the status quo in politics by voting for the grand old party regardicss, THE SOLAR PL William A.

OIL FROM RUSSIA Disagreement among officials of the various Standard Oil units the other day regarding the advisability of buylng crude ofl from Russia threatens to lead to an * between American and British inter- sts. That may be nothing for the public to worry about, but the oil in- terests and the governments who like il war” to see them prosper don’t like it at all. Something has got to be done; if an oil war starts it will be bad business for somebody and the oil trusts may be unable to “stabilize” profits while it is under way. Like every war, conflict in the ofl busi- ness costs somebody money. The only people who might profit are the Detached and Unconsolidated | Society of Common Gasoline Users— and they, take it from the oil octopi themselves, are not entitled to it. Sir Henrl Deterding, the modern | Oedipus in the Pritish oil industry, is jolly well alarmed, and he attacks the New York Standard and the Vacuum Corpany on a basis of hu- manity for the atrocity they have committed in having dealings with the disheveled Russians. Walter C. Teagle, president of the New Jersey Standard, which has had an agree- ment with the Royal Dutch-Shell group not to get smeared with Rus- slan ofl, by this time is halt way sion. The incldent shows the extent of, the control exercised throughout the world by the ofl interests. National tields are assigned, and competition is held to a minimum. The worst that can happen if the American and British ofl Interests do agree 13 a letting down of the com- petitive bars. Recently the Amerlean and Brit- ish interests met defeat fn Spain when the Spanish government, which has decreed its own oil monopoly in order to raise money, decided to buy Russian oil, instead of getting it from the British American Interests. It was a cruel | blow and was the start of vast con- tention, The ofl Interests, 1f they| had succeeded in making a deal with Spain, purposed supplying it with Russian ofl, it 15 said; but| Spain decided to buy direct. An element of humor fs lent the situation by the announcement that new contracts have been made be- tveen the Russians and the French and Itallan naval ministries for the use of Russlan oil by the ships of those two powers. Both states strongly anti-communistfe, hut that has nothing in common with getting oll where it can be obtained cheap- Iy. Perhaps it was the loss of this business which also peeved Sir Henri somewhat. The Russians have doubled thelr exports of oil since pre-war times, and it is this com- i | not or are Shell group. One way of looking at it is that the more oil Russia ex- ports the less it will have to export in the future, and the longer the But the “conservationists” in the British oil industry do not look at the situation in that light. 25 Years Ago Today It seems British supply will last. likely that the h school class of 1906 will be the larg- est in the history of the school, 222 are eligible to enter in the f.
