In anti¢ipation of action by con- gress on the food bills, H. C. Hoover has made an appeal to the housewives of the country to do thelr part in Conserving the food supply of the na- tion. Waste is.ome of the big prob- lems which this country has been loathe to meet. It is fully understood that there are millions upon millions of dollars worth of supplies which are wasted each and every year by the failure to give the matter proper con- sideration. This has been due to a certain extent to the fact that the people have mot been properly im- pressed with the necessity of doing their part. As long as they could get what they wanted they have insisted upon it and have pald the price re- gardless of how much eventually went to_waste. With the conditions as they are to- dey and the necessity of looking well into the future the furnish- ing of foodstuffs. for the people of this country, those on the battle front and those countries which are allied with this in the war, and prices wheré they are today, it ought not to be necessary to 4o much urging in or- der to have those who are so closely handling of the food In the homes realize that they are expected to render an important service and respond heartily to the call for cooperative action in this di- rectiom. High prices may be doing more than all the appeals which can be made in Dbehalf of conservation, but certainly the reason for it is fully established and with everyone doing his or her part the desired results are bound to be obtained. THE NEW AUSTRIAN CRISIS. The stories which have been coming from Austria to the effect that there was unrest among the people, that they sought improved condition: chafed under the dictation of Ger- many and were anxious for peace have been numerous, but thers has been nothing of a definite character to substantiate them. They have been regarded as rumblings which in- dicated the growing tendency in meJ dual monarchy, But there appears to be an explanation of these rumors, as well as the opposition which wa manifested té the calling tu!etharr of the reichsrat, in the refusal of the Polish members to vote for a war credit and the subsequent resignation of the Austrian cabinet. When the charge was made by one of the Polish leaders, in explanation of the stand of the Polish members in refusing to snpport the war credit, that 30,000 Poles had been hanged by order of the German authorities, it is plainly evident that those people are calling for reforms and that they in- sist upon getting them or their sup- port of the government will be with- held. Whether this state of affairs ex- ists in Austrian Poland or whether THE MOHEGAN TRAIL. The whole of Eastern Connecticut is interested in the opening of the Mohegan trafl which is set for tomor- rew. This is bound be a matter of much importance to this end of the state and from all indications there promises to be a large partici- pation in the formal exercises which have been arranged for the occasion. Inspired by the success which has attended similar efforts elsewhere, with the Mohawk trail in Massachu- setts especially in mind. this cele: bration has been arranged with the idea of directing increased attention to the many points of historical im- portance which are to be seen along the line of this stretch of highway from Webster to Norwich. These points date back to the days of the Indians and beyond. Ther are fa- miliar to the people in their imme- diate Iocalities but there is nome too much known about them by the out- siders, those who are seeking just these very thines and who are also anxlous to see some of the most at- tractive spots which can be reached by trolley or* automobile. Interest Is added to many of these because of the part which the Indians have plaved in comnection therewith but in addition thereto there are sections, buiidings and places which are es- pefially distinguished because of these wko have been associated there- with. Marked chan have been made since the davs of the Indians and the early settlers, but for those who are seeking attractive auto trips and sight seeing tours, from far or near, there is nothing which can excell the at- tractions of this trail which should be a stronz competitor of the famous Mo- hawk for popularity. Not only at the opening but subsequently should the Mohegan trail be made the success it deserves. And it should be an add- =4 incentive for keeping the highways ineluded in the trail in the best of conditi NICHOLAS AND THE KAISER. In view of the conditions which are known to have existed in Russia un- der the rule of the czar, the manner in which the people were denied op- portunitics, prevented from having asy say in the zoverniment and treated with varving desrees of harsh- ness, there can be little or no sym- pathy for the deposéd monarch whose people had come to know.their power nd decided to obtain their rights. But even should there he those who were inclined to side with the mon- archica] form of government and theretore with the deposed Nichalas they must consider that they have been wasting their time and their sympathy when they became inform- ed of the secret treaty which had been entered into in 1905 between <©zar Nicholas and Kaiser Wilhelm. This plan to stab a friend, France, in the back was discovered by the late Count Witte, who held a high position in Russian affairs, and it was only through his efforts to bring it to an end by threatening to publish it that the treacherous alliance was broken up. At that time France was in open alliance with Russia. The kaiser was intent upon undermining that tie at that time and by the power which he exerted over Nicholas he in- veigled him into executing a secret treaty whereby the two nations were to work in harmony against the French, meaning that while Russia was manifesting close friendship and cooperation with France to its face, the condition is meant to cover all the Polish provinces in Austria, Rus- sia and Germany, is not disclosed but it is apparent that those people hava undersone far greater cruelties than have previously been kzown and they ars determined in their insist- ence upon the elimination of those who ‘are responsible for such treat- ment. Tt means that the Polish op- position to present conduct is added to that of others in Austro-Hungary, all of which undoubtedly has its bearing upon the talk of peace which has been cominz from that empire. OUR AIRCRAFT NEEDS. Time and again has it been demon- strated that the flying machine is plaving a big part in the war across the water. It is one of the important new war devices not only for keeping in touch with the movements of the enemy but of carrving on attacks upon forces which are being assem- bled and for seeking out and elimi- nating points of military advantage to the ememy. Tn numberless ways are the aeroplanes being dbpended upon for invaluable service, and with such being recognized, there is no surprise in the movement which is now underway for the presentation of a bill to congress for the appropria- tion of about $600,000.000 for aircraft, aviation training stations, the stand- ardization of the engine parts and the raising of the efficiency of the ma- chines and the operators to the point which has been obtained in Europe. This country, though it was the first to perfect a lighter than air ma- chine, has been lax in its development of the airplanes. The countries of Europe have far exceeded it in all kinds of machines and particularly those which are used in the war. This country must make up for the time which it has lost in failing to pre- pare. Tt must do its part in equip- ping its army and navy with this val- uable feature and it should be done without any greater delay. It may seem that the sum called for is a large one but so is the task which is confronfed by this country, and it must make response in aceordance with requirements. We must do our part, we must meet the demards and we must do it while it will give the results that are aimed at. EDITORIAL NOTES. Tke man on the corner says: While all other prices have changed an ounce of prevention is still worth a pound of cure. There appears to be a greater fond- ness for the olive drab among the girls than there is among some of the young men. Have you made your plans to get acquainted with some of the highly Interesting and. historic points along the Mohegan trail? In spite of Hindenburz’s hold on the Siegfried and Wotan lines, the German war machine appears to be advancing backward. From the way congress is handling the important business before it, there is little wonder that the kaiser thinks this country isn't going to amount to much in the war. June is doing its best to redeem its 1917 weather contributions and if praise amounts to anything it ought to persist in a continuation of the welcomed change. it was holding the knife at its back. Nicholas was prepared to adopt the Jekyll-Hyde role. and such a display of gullibility makes it plain that the kaiser had confidence in his ablility to swing him from his alliance a second time. How near he came to succeed- ing is well known but it must be Tec- ognized that it was for the welfare of Russia that it was frustrated by the - revolution. Those striking hatters out in Dan- bury ought to take into consideration the promise which they made to re- fer all disputes with their employers to arbitration until 1920. Hoover tells the senators that food speculators have been taking $50,000,- 000 a month for the last five months from the people. And vet there are members of - consress who stand up and oppose food control legislation. tall brow ghed he said, apropos of nothing, “the- unfulfilled ambitions of humanity are sad to contemplate!” “Aren’t they!” dgreed the girl who likes to talk. “Seeing that you have brought up the ‘subject, I'll tell you about my unfulfilled ambition. I rare- Iy mention it because people always elevate their eyebrows and oppose me when I do. They simply brim over with objections and the awful part of it f5 that I can see what perfectly good objections they are, which is an- noying. Besides that I can think up objections myself at the rate of sixty a finute and you must admit that any ambition €0 hampered is a very hard one to realize! But, honest In- jun, way back in my head, from the time T was three years old, has lurked the wild mad craving to own a mon- xey?

Mr. Editor: It is unfortunate in some respects that there is not a general election about this time, for there are several men in the United States Gen- ate and the house of representatives who should be retired to private life, and for all time to come. Such men as La Follette and Sherman of Illinois certainly do not represent American ideas or American patriotism. Anyone in congress who plays into the hands of the greedy traitorous band of food specuiators will inevitably share in the universal odium that wiil be showered upon them and their allies in_congress or elsewhere. President Wilson at this time should have the united support of all men and women'and children who love America and liberty. WILLIAM KIMBERLY PALMER. Norwich, June 20, 1917, Mark the Historic Places.

Plainfield, June 20, 1 suggo: THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society. Mons, famous in the world war as the scene of the great battle after which the Anglo-French forces bej their memorable retreat towards Par- is, a retreat which finally eneded on the banks of the Marne, has come once more into the limelight through a re- cent order of the Germans providing for the deportation of its citizens—a fate which has befallen the citizens of many of Belgium's stricken cities. The National Geographic Society, in a war geography bulletin issue dfrom its! Washington headquarters, gives the| following information about Mons, its! industries before the outbreak of the | war, and something of its interesting | history: “As the capital of the province of Hainaut, Mons was, up to August 1914, one of the most thriving cities of Bel- glum, for it was the center of the country’s richest coal region, Le Bor- inage. Of the 125,000 coal miners of | the kingdom three-fourths of the num- | ber_lived in this province and were known as Borins (coal borers). “Mons occupies the site of a cas- trum established by Julius Caesar dur- ing his campaigns against the Gauls. It _crowns a_hill on the bank of the little River Trouille, 3§ miles by rail southwest of Brussels. Its founding as a town. however, is attributed to Countess: Waudru in the eighth cen- tury, and the first five hundred vears of its history constitute a period of much hardship and poverty, the whole region being known in that age as ‘the poor jand of a proud people.’ “Count Baldwin of Flanders, one of the noblest and most popular lead- ers of the Fourth Crusade and the first emperor of Romania, being crowned in Constantinople, was one of Mons' most’ generous benefactors. It was he who granted the city its charter in 1200, just five vears before he met death ‘at the hands of the Bulgarian king who is sald’ to have cut oft the hands and feet -of the cap peror and thrown him thus into a valley where he lingered for three days before death ended his agony. “Mons has been the scene of several { | battles of the eighteenth great military struggles. It was for- tified in the 14th century by Jean ' Avesnes. In 1572 it was captured in 2 surprise attack by Louis of Nassau Wwho held is for four months against the Spanish forces of the Duke of Alva, thus giving the northern pro- vinces of the Netherlands time to or- ganize that heroic resistance to op- pression which resulted the estab- ishment of the Dutch Republic. The town was captured by Louis XIV in 1691 but was restored to Spain six _vears later. “Only ten miles south of Mons %es the village -of Malplaquet, which has given its name to one of the greatest 3 century. It was here that the English, Dutch, Ger- than and Austrian allics, under the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eu- sene, won a costly victory over the commanded by Louis XIV's nguished general, Villars.

By Eiapoburg Liske of Fhs Vigilantes It was away back five years in the dusty past, when 1 was a_ perfectly good fitter of Wig log-saws instead of a writer of indifferent power, -that % had my first real introduction to this Brobdignagian. I had just left the sawmill, in company with the sawyer, when 1 noticed an ordinarily but neat- ly dressed old man picking up kind- ling that had fallen from a passing wagon. We soon overtook him. I was sorry for him. “Old man,” eaid I, around to the mil you all the off. ITe laughed rather amusedly. “Son,” e replied, “I'm just picking this up to keep it from going to waste. Waste s the great American thief.” We passed him by. The sawyer nudged me and whispered: “That's old So-ind-So; he's worth a hundred thousand, and he's not accounted a stingy man.” I got the lesson. T've since worked it out very thoroughly—so very thor- oughly in fact, that I am able to tell ou, which is apt to surprise you, hat another nation the size of ours could have lived six years on that which we have wasted during the last ten years! And. which is of even greater importance, both this and the other nation wou'd have been a better and stronger and more officient nation because of it. Get that. Waste is, beyond any doubt. the great Ameri- can thief, just as that philosophic old man told me. “if you'll come tomorrow T'll give kindling you can carry It is our eating that we are most immoderate. most intemperate, most wasteful. We are, in the main, a na- tion of meat-eaters and bolters and over-eaters. We think that we eave time when we bolt our food, but we don’t; we lose time, because by so doing we impair health and shorten life to an extent that would be. larm. ing to use if we could only realize if The eating of much meat may be ali right for a digger of ditches, but it certainly is unwise for those who ex- pect to do any amount of ciear think- ing. Over-eating is good for nobody. for so many reasons that I can not attempt t0 set them down here. Let me break the news to you that Ger- many, as a nation, can put it ail over us when it comes to efficient eating. And Germany's efficient eating is one Piazza Chairs TAKE ADVANTAGE ‘We Have Received This Day Shipment OF SPECIAL PRICE If You Need 137 and 141 of the greatest factors in the success with which she has fought and is still fighting the best forces of the civil- ized world. 1f you are a meat-eater. try cutting out at least half your meats and sub- stituting fruits and cereals and pro- perly cooked eggs.

If you are a combination of ali tree, it's a wonder you are alive! HOME GARDENS Cucumber. The cucumber grower bas more in- sects to battle with than diseases to cure, says today's builetin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, cooperating _with _this newspaper in a campaigx for more food gardens and againet waste. Diseases prevalent among other garden vegetables, seidom attack cu- cumbers, though if the plants are not prorected from disease-carr$ing in- sects they may become victim to any of the garden ' diseases. Anthacnose. downy mildew. metimes attack the cucumber. Wit is a_fatal uisease. Infected vines should be burned. Anthracnose and mildew are fungons diseases and can be cured by spraying. The first symp- toms of anthracnose are brown &pots on the leaves. Downy mildew appears in vellow spots. For both diseases spray with bordeaux mixture, first When the plants have begun to form vines and later after the first blos- soms have faded. Repeat the spray- ing in two weeks, and then two weeks after that. Some gardeners spray for midew and anthrocnose as long- as the crop lasts. Insects attack both_the leaves and roots of cucumbers. The striped bee- tle, spotted beetle. and flea beetls are chewing insects that feed upon the leaves. The vine borer is a worm, which bores into the vine at the sur- face of the ground. When the vine borer intrenches itself, the vine must be cut open lenzthwiss and the worm removed and killed. Earth should be thrown over the vines every few feet so that now roots will form at those places. The beetles. although they are very destructive, are not so formidable an enemy as the borer, as they can be dealt with In the open and are easily exterminated. doing no permanent in- jury to the vines. A good arrangement to fence bugs out of. the cucumber plants, is a mos- quito net stretched over each plant and held up by a half hoop. An ex- cellent way to keep these parasites from the young plants is to cover them with pieces of netting. keeping the edges of the material covered with 2 inches of soil and let this remain un- til the plant begins to run. and wilt Onion-Insects. . Onions are sometimes serlouely damaged by several insects, but they suffer from none of the garden dfs- eases, says_today’s buletin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission of Washington which is cooperating with this paper. Should thrips or cut-worms make an appear- ance in your onion patch you should take quick methods to kill them out. Leek, garlic, and chives are also sus- ceptible to these two pests. Thrips—a sucking insect—can be killed with nicotine sulphate spray. This insect causes the leaves to take on a silvery sheen or become whitened and latter curled and twisted. The cut-worm eats the plant away at the root. Poison bran mash, put closely about the root of the plant will Kill this insect. Cut-worms work mostly at night. In the morning you can usually find the worm hidden_in the eoil near a cut off plant. Dig him out and kill him. Cut-worms are dark in color and not easily detected. After the onion crop has been gath ered, all useless material shouid be immediately destroved by burning and not left where any remaining insects could spread to neighboring plants. On land where infested onion crops grow, next season you should plant Buy Now at Our Clearance Séle .ONLY A FEW DAYS LONGER Main Street potatoes, peas, beet not onifons again. the onion thrips attack these plants.
