A good example of results gained from the stimulation of corn growing, | similar to tb ve met with | varying su state, is shown | in York South Carolina, where a Boy club was started | and the record s that thirty-| eight members e and the keen interest which was caused resuited in| the average pro jon being 68 2‘3‘ bushels an acre. There were only four who raised than fifty bush-| els an acre and nine produced | less than sixty Five produced be- tween 70 and 80 bushels, three pro- duced between 90 and 100 bushels and one rajsed 109 1 bushels. This should be the cause for increasing sctivity In this line of farm work wherever it is brought to the motice of young farmers, Boys in Connecticut can do as well as they can in South Carolina. Thero is mo reason why in eastern Connect- fout & larger amount of time and at- tention should not be devoted to the growth of corn, and bettering the pro- duection where it is already grown. There ought to be enough interest in such an effort to work for the beneflt to be derived. Could the boys be given a new interest in the develop- ment of the farm and the increasing of the production much good is going to result to every community and greater profit Is goings to result to them as boys and later as proprie- tors. Corn sho THE COAL QUESTION. There is ono thing which the public cannot figure out in regard to the coal question and that is how the independent dealers, when they con- trol only about fourteen per cent. of the output of the mines, are able to play such an important part in the control of the situation. Concerning the independent operators, the Spring- fleld Union says: “They could not be- #in to supply the demand even if they bad been accumulating a stock all summer. So far as we can judge these independents in reality are es- senti; dependent upon and work in elose relations with the big com- Such being the case, it is an upon the public’s credulity to assert that the independents are gotting all the benefit from the #o- ealled bonuses paid retailers and obifted uwpon the shoulders of con- sumers.

Naturally the prominence given to the marriage of Jack Johnson and the white girl in Chicago is going to bave its result in bringing forth leg- islation to prevent such oceurrences in other states. Bills are being pre- pored now in the states of Ohlo, II- linols, Kansas and Iowa to be pre- sented to the next leislatures for enactment. Eight states now forbid such & union and of that number only two, Indlana and Maine, are in the north, Investigation In many cities results in the disclosure that there are many such marriages, but they lack the publicity which was given to| #ha Johnson case and are given but| attention.

The first year finds e large class, but thereafter they begin to drop out and by the time the closing year is reached the class has many times shrunk to two-thirds or half its size on entering. At Sumter, 8. C. Supt. Edmunds has established an ex- cellent record showing that but ten in a class of sixty left school before graduation, It is insisted by the su- perintendent that each pupil shall real. ize that he is an individual, not a mere cog in a machine, thus devel- oping a valuiable sense of ’personal pride, which leads to a desire for more and more education.. In the system the boys and girls are educated sep- arately after leaving the sixth grade and there is meintalned ‘a military company of grammar school and high school boys. A prominent feature is also made of the high school gradua- tion. There are many reasons which cause the pupils to leave high school after entering. Lack of interest and finan- clal - circumstances at home are two of the chief causes which serve to take children away from the schooling which it would be to their advantage to have. There is a growing interest in high school education throughout the country as the advantages there- from are more realized and whatever can assist in stimulating the desire to get all the learning possible should receive encouragement. -Unquestion- ably the example get by those who| have profited by the adyantages of higher education has an {important effect upon those in school and those sending children to school DANGER FROM WHOOPING COUGH In most instances where contagious , efforts are made to warn the public and prevent the neighbors and friends away from the Strict rules exist for the pur- pose of preventing epidemics but there are many, so called children’s diseases, which while while contagious, are not given this attention and among the number is whooping cough, Inves- tigations have demonstrated that this is from a germ, that it is contaglous and preventable. The Groton & Ston- ington electric road in forbidding any cases of the disease to be taken aboard its cars s taking a step in the interest of publlc safety. If no cases are permitted In the cars none will be contracted there. The danger from the disease {5 too htly estimated by the public n gen- eral when Health Officer Rlack of New London sets forth these facts: More suffering and deaths are| now sed by this disease than by | any of our contagious diseases except consumption, “With or without the disease whoop the is dangerous as long as the usually two or . three mc “In small or crowded rooms the dis- ily transmitted, while in air close contact is neces- sh alr and ov the door exercise mit- igate and: shorten the By law, physicians and parents are required to report to the health au- thorities all cases of whooping cough under their care. | It s the duty of health authorities to protect the public and they hav the power to take such action as they may deem advisable. “It s also the duty d4f any person with the knowledge of an unreported case to report the same anonymously | or otherwise. “A death from whooping cough is just as great a calamity as a death from smallpox.’ EDITORIAL NOTES. So far as noted everyone forgot to ask Governor Biease how he was feel- ing. The Clapp investigation committee 1s still at work, but it is dealing with an old subject now Greece would naturally be supposed to smooth the ways of peace instead of obstructing them. While most people are completing their Christmas want list, the allies are framing their lists of demands. ‘Woodrow Wilson is planning his re- turn to this country. That means that his troubles are soon to commence. Happy thought for today: ' The strifigency in the money market isn’t 1l due to the early Christmas buy- ing. Mexico is seeking divine intervention as a way out of her difficulties. Hu- man agencies have certainly been giv- en a long trial. The puzzle which is interesting all New England now is how to operate two railroads in New England and keep down competition. The Balkan war promises to help out the geography makers, but just at present much headway cannot be made on the boundary lines.” Mayor Gaynor is finding the job of being heaq of the city of New York a thankless one. Dr, Parkhurst is his latest in a long list of assaflants. More fire protection is being urged at the White House. It should be said however that the coming change of administration has no bearing thereon. That $200 hen which swallowed a $200 ruby at a Lacrosse poultry show thus increasing her value to $400 can now rank among the aristocrats of the roost. Mrs. Carrie C. Catt advises women to wear trousers and to throw away fashionable garbs. Dr. Mary Walker preceded her not only in advice, but by example. Al things are not consistent. ” The socialist yote doubled in the pres dential election, but the socialist pa. per in Chicago has gone into the hands of receivers. It isn't surprising that since the Johnson-Cameron match several more states are seriously considering a law against the marriage of a mnegro and whits person. When Vice President Marshall says good cooks are more imvortant than great governors, he probably had a| fellow feeling for the president-elect and his indigestion. A $10,000 non-athletic buflding has been given to Dartmouth, Is there any significance in this, coming so soon after the criticlsm of their - ging football team?

I'm so glad ham is one of the finest women at the Browntstone, and it certainly is a shame that she never had @ beau be- fore.” “Never had a beau!” “Never!" repeated Mrs, Bennett, im- pressively. “She admitted it to me in confidence one day. I intend to help her along all I can and see that she lands Mr. Weed, for' she desertes a good husband. “I should say she does!” agreed one of the other women. “Let’s all put in a good word for her, gnd then if she doesn’t land him it ‘won't be ouwr fault,” That evening, after dinner, Mrs, Ben- nett was sitting on the front porch of the Brownstone alone when young Mr. ‘Weed made his appearance. “Good evening, Mr. Weed,” chirped the gopher eyed Mrs. Bennett. ' “How do you like the Brownstone?” very much indeed, Mrs, Bennett. The food is good and I find the people pleasant.” “I'm so glad to hear you say so, Mr, Weed.

Bhe is 80 accommodat- ing! And she has such a perfect dis- position! Really, Mr. Weed, you should know her better.” Young Weed succeeded in driving Mys, Hoiman before him into the breakfast room, where she beamed at him from her table across the room all through the meal. As young Weed stopped at the mail box-in the hall Mrs, Adams down the front stairs, elbows waving. “Looking for & love letter, Mr, Weed ?" she bantered, gayly. “Not this morning, Mrs. Adams. No such good luck for me. Haven't got a girl, you know.” He smiled at her un- suspiciously. “Well, now, that's too bad, Mr. Weed. A man with your good looks shuld not have any trouble finding a girl. If you want any help just let me know, I know of one not very far away, She is a dear and I'm sure you would like her very much if you knew her better. There! I've let the cat out of the bag, for you do know her al- ready. Really, Mr. Weed,” she went on, “Miss Peckham is one of the most charming girls at the Brownstone. And o versatile! She can do anything —cook, sew, sing, converse intelligent- ly, do anything. Really, you should cul- te her acqquaintance. I'm sure you two would be very congenial.” Young Weed's hair fairly stood up with alarm as he hurried away. Evi- dently there was a combination to snare him. The next afternoon Miss Peckham t on the porch reading. She was en- rely unconscious of the bavoc that had been wrought by her well mean- ing friends. She looked up in surprise as young Weed came out on the porch, suitcase in hand, his long, pointed nose stabbing the atmosphere before him. Having scented danger, he was making his retreat. He started slightly as he spied Miss Peckham and took a firmer grip upon his suitcase. “Why, Mr. Weed, are you leaving us?’ she inquired, turning her round, surprised eyes on the suitcase. “Umph huh!” he grunted. “Going on the north side to live. Walking dis- tance from downtown, you know.” “Well, you must not forget us, Mr. ‘Weed, Come over and see us occasion- ally, won't you?’ “'Fraid not,” young Weed mumbled, ungraciously, leveling his suspicious eyes upon the anxious little spinster, his face wrinkling in a sour smile. “Going to take up a corespondence course and will be too busy evenings to_make many calls.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MA I Get to the Point! Get to the point, friend lawyer Something ought to be done to stay the plague of words. The curse of the magazine article, the review, the es- say, the sermon, the lawyer's speech, the 'politician’s harangue, of everything in which one is supposed to be taiking in order to let you know something, is superfluous words. The horror of book-buying is that nine-tenths of the books you pay money for do mot say anything, or at least give you only a grain of wheat in_a bushei of chaff. Why don't the doctors experiment on rats and guinea pigs to find some serum to cure the flux of words? It is long and irrelevant speeches that clog courts and delay justice. There seems to be no place where di- gression, unnecessary repetition and almless talk seems to be more the style than among lawyers. They ap- pear to have an idea the client will not think he is getting his money's worth unless his advocate speaks end- lessly. We have abandoned the “three- decker” movels, the short story is driving out the 300 page romance, the parson has been forced down from two hours to thirty minutes, the newspaper has squeezed sthe reporter’s descriptive ~enius Into a paragraph; let the good work go on! Compel the lawyer to say his say in an hour at least, and the senator to confine his remarks to twenty minutes, and a suffering world will sing a Te Deum of relief.
