The uselessness of maintaining state military organizations if they are not kept up to requirements has often been pointed out. It is a waste of time and Snoney and under the late government Peguirements uniess federal require- Ments are met it means the withdrawal the national aid. Connecticut stands @ahead of many of the states in its flitia, but it also has its weak spots. ne step in behalf of developing ihe juired efficiency is indicated by the isbanding of Comwpany M of the First fantry located at Winsted. This or- anization with its thirty-three mem- and two officers was one of tr »ld military companies, but the inabii- My to recruit up to the minimum re- wuirements served not only as a draw- back to the regiment but it stood in the way of a more flourishing com pany. It is another instance of passing of & one time crack military organization because of the lack of interest and the drawing power of an armory, to say nothing of the failure to recognize the value of the training. Securing recrufts is always a con- stant problem before such organiza- tions but it remalns to be seen what effect this action will have upon others which are Inclined in the same direc- tion as Company M. It is not through the display of threadbare interest and enthusiasm in such an organization that armorfes are obtained however much it is felt that they are deserved. It is the comumunity with the high stand company and the proper public intere#t back of it which gets the at- tention. The order means that military company is to be had it must be maintained, EDUCAT!ONAL CONGRESSES For the past week New Haven 5 been the center of attre on for edu- cators because of the convention of the Religious Ed. on asseciation which has drawn =zome of t minds of the country an effort to get at the solution of some of the important problems which are faced have by the country. The speakers made their attacks from variou gles, it being by no means a one discussion, for where one the wisdom of a ceriain other has had different The Tesuli is that there many minds offered on Tt will be found Haven Journal-C clearing house of t inestitnable value in determining the thought of the nation upon the ways and means to make most productive of g66d the finer traits of human na ture.

Some interesting statements have been made by Secretary Redfield con- cerning the large amount of foodstuffs which have been imported during the three months since the new tariff went into operation. It reveals the fact that advantage {8 being taken of the removal of or reductien in rates by the foreign producer when it is de- clared that 4,450,000 bushels of eorn, 13,230,000 bushels of oals, 2,880,000 bushels of potatoes and 500,000 pounds of rice have been sent into thigs country since the new ariff schedule became effeciive, This means an imporant outlet for the fereign markets and it has a cerrespoading effect upon the preducers of this coun try. The changss whish made the im portation of this large amount of pro- duce possible and that by means includes the large variety of articles which have been sent inte the coun- try, were intendsd to bring about eco- nomic resnits. Tt was promised {(hat the high cost of Jiving weuld take a substantial drop and rthat the con- sumer weuld profit as Lbe resull of na e master | array | | supply but this tariff reduction. This desirable end has not been obtained. The farm- ers, particularly those of the west who are engaged in the business of pro- ducing stable foodstuffs and livestock are in line to feel the effects of this so far there is no recom- pense in the way of lessened cost. The result of opening our markets to foreign competition is being expe- rienced, and it is bound to make its impression. GARDENING FOR CHILDREN. Something to keep the school chil- dren interested for the occupation of their minds when out of school, which provides ‘good exercise and overcomes mischief is the idea of home garden- ing. This directed by the school is offered by Dr. P. P. Claxton, United *States commissioner of education as a solution for some of the most pre: ing educational and economic prob- lems in city and suburban life. He would have every vacant lot in town transformed into a garden, where boy and girls would raise vegetables, ber- ries and fruit for pleasure and profi He would have one teacher in the com- munity emploved for twelve months in the year to teach elementary science in school and direct the home garden work after school, on Satur- days and during the summer vacation. What value this could be is real- d by the statement that of the thir- teen million children between the ages of six ahd twenty in the cities, towns and manufacturing villages of the country not more than fifteen per c are away from home during the sum- mer vacation or engzaged in regular employment. Even play lags with those who make up the 83 per cent. and there is a longing for something to do at least part of the time. There are plenty of backyards and vacant lots which could not only be made productive but which could be greatly improved in appearance by some such attention. The problem is to get these wasted spaces, and the spare time together for good results. The idea put into operation should be productive of good resuits for the chil- dren whether the crop reports were greatly augmented or not. DISCOURAGING DIVORCE. With the crying need for reform which is coming from every divorce court in the land it is but proper that it awaicens serious attentlon from the ministers who play such an important part in the estabiishment of the mar- ringe ties, as to the great respor bility which falls upon them. they are not the only on perform a marri knowledge that divorce is onl stepping stone to another marriage soon as the ties are gevered all has its influence in keeping the court dockets fimld a valuable step towards con- ing whate discouragement lies n their power for the checking of divorce when the Pastors’ Union of New en adopted resolutions to the effect that no minister ould offi- ciate at the marriage of: A divorced person who has been morally responsible for the divorce, or person unt shall have the granting preferably sed from the di- any divorced six months the time vorce.

The fact s, girls, it was partly to teil you the history of these mats that I asked you to come here to-day to celebrate my return. “Just before I started for Florida, Aunt Ada asked me to make some- thing to be sold at the charity bazaar she was getting up. 1 had seen some dollies like these, and 1 fancied they would be easy to make so I bought the material and took it with me. I must confess that if 1 had had any idea how much work, they would be I should have chosen something eas- ier. “The first week I was in Gardenia | was too lovely even to think of doing anything except wander among the orange groves, but the first rainy morning I remembered the doilies and began work on them in earnest. When I had fringed a little one—the goblet size I realized that I had undertaken a tiresome task. ‘Do come and play auction bridge with us,” urged some of the other | youngish people in the hotel, who were arranging a card table. | “‘Sorry,” 1 answered, ‘but I have to | work." “In the afternoon I was asked again, and again 1 said I was busy. 1 was tired of watching the card piaying, so I took myself off into the deserted sun parlor and was just beginning to pull threads industriously when, to my surprise, I was joined by Mr. Macfar- lane, a young engineer whom 1 had | 1 thought ,\'ou were deep in auc- '.wn bridge,” 1 said \o/ he replied, seating himselt de me. ‘When I saw_how beauii- fully your excuse worked I tried it and said I had work to do. “‘But, really, I do have to make these doilies. nd really, 1 do have to help you make them, said he. ‘I must make | my word good, for I assured our friends in the drawing room that I had something very important to do. My dear Miss Thomas, I didn’t come to Florida to pass my winter holiday playing auction bridge, and I hope You won't mind my telling you that I was awfully glad that you didn't either. It's very wise of you to carry these little pink mats around as a sori of life preserver from cards.’ ie drew a Dbeautiful heirloomy looking pin from his scarf and, pic ¥ to pick out the threads just was doing. He was remarkably , and appeared to enjoy the oc pation. “I was just telling him how I had to get the mats done in time for the bazaar when Miss Ridley suddenly appeared. She was rather a stunning looking girl who sat at the same table in the dining room with Mr. Macfar- lane, and somehow I had gained from her = delicately proprietary —manner that he had come to Gardina because she was there. ‘I thought you had important work {to do, Mr. Macfarlane,” she remarked. “°I'had,” he answered graveiy rising and brushing a lot of pink ravelings from his clothes ““Won't you join us? Ridle; I asked Miss o, thank It’s dinner time. I thought her tone a little acrid,Not- withstanding her beautiful, even teeth | and her finely curved lips, Miss Rid- ley’s smile wasn't really winsome. “Well, the oldest inhabitants assured me that such another rain had never fallen in Gardenia within the memory {of man. It poured steadily for three days and I continued to pull threads in the sun parlor and Mr. Macfariane continued to help me while Miss Rid- lev. _ad a very callow young man played double dummy in the parlor.

But just the same I did feel sorry for her the day she left. For that day I felt more than ever be- fore that I wished every one in the world to be happy.
