There has been an immediate re- sponse on the part of the nationas guard of the various states to ‘the president's call for service along the Mexican border. A great many em- ployers have recognized the meaning of this .service and are anxious tc Show their appreciation. It is proba- ble that these have not been disposed {to handicap the militia at other time: but it 15 to be hoped that the exam- {Ple Which they have set will serve to { inspire others to do likewise and that in the future greater consideration will be given to those who stand readv at all times to respond te the nation's call, and especlally since the govern. ment has decided to rlace the state military organizations cn a more effi- clent basts. BAD’ FEATURES CROPPING OUT Ever since the shipping bill which has beén fathered by the present ad- ministration has been urged, there has been smerious objection made to it. It has been recognized as unnecessary. It has been shown that it would not accomplish the object sought and it has been strenuously cpposed on the ground that it would be unfair for the government to enter into compe- tition, with private interests in the manner which 1s proposed, when it contifites to do nothing to relieve the existing situation and lend encour- sgement to private capital to- make greater outlays in order to solve the unusual shipping problem. Attention is now being directed to the provision of the bill which men- aces the tugs and lighters. These ves- sels under the terms of the measure would bs made common carriers and subject to the regulations of the com- mission to be created by this bill, when as a matter of fact the difficulty in the way of any such step is such that even some of the enthusiastic ad- voeates of the bill agree that it should not be attempted. and that this fea- ture should be eliminated. This is of course only one of the many defects and if it has been pos- sible to uncover these before the bill has, been put through it is highly probable that there are other detri- mental provisions which would be equally unwise and do more harm that there <are expected to do good. The bill was such as. to receive the defeat that it deserved when first pro- posed and it deserves like treatment in its present form. £ — EDITORIAL NOTES.

Mr. Editor: It those hay stacks I predicteq last month have not already been built, get busy is all I can say to the farmers. Don't walt for a long, dry spell to cut your grass. Take ad- vantage of every speck of sunshine, as storms are to come right along in July as well as June. I see no big dry spell for July, but must acknowledge that the continua al wetting old mother earth has got since the little old ground hog fell down. February 2, is beyond me and anything I ever heard of, and I rath- er think the rest of you feMows will say that you have been fooled just a little also, There will be some of the worst electrical disturbances in July, 1916, ever kmown. There will be many cool. as well as extra hot days. The middle of this month I look for a long, hard storm, , wind ~ and cool weather. Corn will have hard pegging in July. and unless all signs fail, the crop will be far below the average this year. 'HE CLOGD DIGGER. Stories of the War Exchanging. Russian 5 Prisoners. The great task of exchanging wound- ed prisoners between Russia and Ger- many through Sweden will be contin- ued throughout the summer. The ex- change applies only to those prisoners totally unfit ever to serve again. One glimpse at a train load of these mis- erable war derelicts leaves no doubt as to their disability. missing arms, sightless eyes, shat- tered jaws, twisted spines and here and there tife glassy stare which tells ite own story of a burned-out brain— these are the evidences the Swedish Eheople see of the war that surrounds and German Missing legs, em. The transfer through Sweden 1is bandled entirely by the Swedish Red Cross, or “Roda Korset”, of which Prince Carl, brother. of the King, is the actual and active head. _The German prisoners are received from the Rpssians at Haparanda at the Sewdish-Finnish frontier, only a few miles south of the sweep Of the wrecks of men are taken south through the entire. distance of Sweden, a journey of three nights and two days, the pace of the train being timed for the utmost of comfort. At Trelleborg, the south- ernmost part of Sweden, the one-time t | soldiers of the Fatherland are placed ing | upon German Mospitel transports for the short sail across the southern of the Baltic to the German port of Sassnitz. From there they are taken to Hamburg and held in detention for one month as a guarantee against the portation of an yinfectious disease. This quarantine period ended, the men, most of them dependents for life, are returned to their relatives and homes. In the case of the Russian prison. ers the operation is They ships at Trellchorg and are taken to the north through the glowing sun- shine and the mysterious nights of the Arctic latitudes, whers soon the days will fade one into the other with only a shadow of twilight in between.

It seemed that the crutch process would never end, for the doctors said the number of “leg-cases” was unusually high in this first shipment of human wreckage ‘home to Russia. One of the leg cases was a boy of fifteen. His left limb was gone well abeve the knee, but with the dexterity of youth Ze had learned to hop along with only one crutch and had thrown the other away as so much impediment. But_soon the “arm-cases” and the 'hand®cases” were very much in evi- dence and at last came the wholly helpless. There was one soldier with ight leg and both eyes forever gone, another with an arm gone and a shat- tered foot supported in a rope sling about his neck. Then came the men crazed by tlie shock of battle or suf- fering from acute melancholia. _One of the latter pever ceased to cry. There were but three Russian officers in the first exchange.

The great impression left from con- tact with the Russian prisoners was the absence of all realization of what the future meant to them, Bver since their _disablement they had been kind- ly attended and provided for.

OTHER VIEW POINTS School is about to close and during the vacation periods the city will put at the disposal of its school children of the Russians had ever seen the seatsundry parks and playgrounds at which they may safely play their games and improve themselves men- tally and physically in varlous forms of recreation. Waterbury has given heed to the growing demand for such institutions and it is hoped that it will continue to recognize the value of its playgrounds and those still to be cre- ated and I ly plan and improve them.—Waterbury Republican. It will be interesting, for instance, to compare the contributions of the mili- tary ‘camps such as that at Platts- burg, with the military contributions of the militia. In actual service, how much can we depend upon the nation’ Plattsburgs? Not much, from the pres- ent indication. It looks as though the militia has the call when it comes to actual service, with the regular army. occupied. - And unless the Flattsburg idea is put upon a national basis, Wwith compulsory service the rule, we sus- pect that the militia will continue to have the call when emergencies arise. —Bridgeport Telegram. Parental control of the right sort seeks to show the child a bettar way of life. Suppression is no cure. The frolic has its place in life on this plane, but it is the sauce, not the solid portion cf living. Usefuiness to the community; as well as to self, should be taught. Desire to make life easy for the child should not override its best good. Bit- ter disappointment awaits the young man or young woman, pampered at home, when he or she is called upon to face the world, which deals with each individual upon the just basis of “Whatsoever & man soweth, that shall he also reap” Teach children to be independent, but not unruly. Teach them to be considerate of others. Heip them to gain control of their desires. Show them the-folly of gluttony. Point out the more ent pleasures of them romp and play in ways that will promote ith and make false joys no attraction to them.—Bridgeport Standard.

Correct use of the telephone is an art little understood. Even ordinary telephone courtesy {s too often neglected and business men and their employes many times fall into habits of sheer boorishness and are guilty of incivilities of which they ‘would never dream in personal ccn- versation. By all means school pupils, particularly those studying business methods, should be taught telephone etiquette. It would also be well to teach them how to' make their tele- phone most serviceable, by showirig them how to get the most out of it.
