Almost every day there is some new it of evidence w goes show now extensively the people of the country are iending their efforts in vehalf of the conservation movement which has been urged upen them. k 2 to be recognizad in the in- terest that is ng taken in canning. There were alwars many housewives who devoted much time to the pre- serving of fruits for winter e. There were some who made it a point to can many other articles of focd which are abundant during the summer but which they cannot make ful of in arranging the daily menus at the time. But this vear, in order to car- T through into the winter mueh of to this surplus production and save the added expense which is entailed by the purchase of such canned goods, noroughly alive to the duty s befors them. They are en- anning work as they never e and they are getting some excellent advice frcm the instructions which are beinz put forth for their énefi: The result, if the proper amount care used, is zoing to e felt later on. It will be shown ! he attractive array of food and fruit which are stored for later consump- ion and it will be displaved in the socketbook as the time goes along. But in addition 1o this there is a sreater effort being made than ever to vercome waste in all directions. Per- haps this is no better revealed than in the reports which have been made garbage piants in ¥ the and Buffalo, where months there has b the amount of fats ob This tells i of the many bits being thrown aw was formerly the practice, reing utilized in in Cleveland the past two a decrease in they are i} e many ways which they can be. Extravagance is giving way to economy. Instead of discard- ng what is useful, the wastefulness| which has been practiced in the past s being abandoned. It has required an :sual situation to bring it about t the change is gratifving THE CROPS. It was onlv a short time ago that there was much attention directed to the growinz of greater crops this sea- scn in order to relieve the high prices nd to take cake of the increased de- mands which are being made upon is cou in the way of supplvinz the nations which are allled with us the war. It was about that time that gloomy statement was made relative to the outiook concern- ng certain crops which were aiready der cultivation and especially in re- zar@ to winter wheat much of which was a total ioss Dut it is o marked change which is revealed by the st repurt of the department of agriculture showinz the zondition of the crops up to the first of Ju According to this it is evi- dent that the agricultural resources of the country are being utilized in the manner which they should be and that nature is doing its part in help- ing out the situation. The wheat crop bids f. to not only overcome the loss which was threatened through the winter wheat fallure but to exceed the harvest of last year by 28.000,000 bushels. This is most gratifying in view of the great demand which is made upon this commodity, but at the same time there are other indica- tons which are equally pleasing. Corn tor instance promises to yield bumper crop of over three billion bush- els and a reécord crop of whité pota- toes ought to overcome the conditions which have prevailed for a number of months while rye alse promises to exceed previous yields. As the result of the government -forecast, it can be appreciated that there has been just such a response to the demands for increased cultivation throushout the country as was de- sired. The agriculturalists are doins their part but it is to be remembered that the government reports do mot pretend te cover the opérations of the home gardeners, and unless all signs fail they areé going to furnish a large amount of produce for the relief of the food situation. . RUMANIA’S POSITION. Just what Rumania is going to get a chance to do in thé immediate fu- ture remains to be seen. The claim is put forth that that eountry has re- organized its army and that it is ready to get into the fray again, but at the same time a statement has been made by the Rumanian commisaion, now at Tokio on its way to this coun- try, to the effect that Rumania is wholly dependent upon Russia It ‘is in such a position today that it can do little except throuxh the facilities which are furnished by Russia. That country put much reliance in ! Russia at the time of its entrance in- : the war. That was at the time ‘hen the German influence was piay- | inz havec with the czar and Rumania ed to get the assistance which it } was promised with the resuit that {lost ialf of its, territory and saffered | severely in many othér wavs. There has been no question but what it was aaxious to do ite part and is today jbut it is experiencing the handicap which comes with the Ruesian trans- portation problem. But with the army of that eountry in shape to take part in the fighting and eager to do so. the mew Russia should bend every coffert to get it the Hein that it needs and jend it ali pos- sible assistance. mania has sacri- ficed much for Russia and ii is now time that Hussia not oniy showed its appreciation but that it should make up for the failures whith are checked | ap azainst it during the old regime. { There has been lictl activity along that front for some time, but in keep- ine with the offensives which are be- ing carcied oyt in other theaters of the war there is a chance for good resuits to be gained there even as there is further north and everv ad- vantage should be taken of it. Russia will make a mistake if it does not do its utmost to retrieve jts weak rec- crd in that region. OVERCOME THE DELAY. The s*nate was urged to hasten its action upon the prohibition features of the food control bill that tha w: migh: be thereby cleared for action o the bill itself since the country need of the legislation. is in but there are indications that the senate has been| making haste hackwards. There was much uncertainty about the stand which the senat> wouild take relative to prchibition. but now that it has acted there appears to be a Zreatcr mixup than even, for not oaly are | there serious éfforts heing made to re- commit the biil but it is being ciaimed that the whiskey seizure clause is un- | e stional ether the senate will leave these matters to be straighténed out by the conference committee has not been de- cided. but it is quite evident that lit- te is being done to push the bill Rather do t appear that obstacies are being pui in the way of the en- actment of this desired law regard- less of the need which exists for it at the earliest possible moment and re- gardless of the mammer in which it is holdinz up other important matters. The prohibition feature has been gettinz most of the attention. It has overshadowed the matters of even greater importance and it has ziven lan opportunity to those who are in fact opposed to the whole plan of con- trol to bring their pressure to bear upon that feature in the hopes of blocking the bill or delaying it so that it will lose much of its effectiveness. And in the meantime the membcrs of congress do not appear to realize that! they are standing in the way of the best interests of the country. Instead of hastening the adoption of the hill they are preventing progress in a manner which does them no credit. Tt is hizh time that this should dawn upon them and that they should get together and do something. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the cormer says: From | the fact that the fly season is so late in opening, it is possible that a stra- egic retreat is being carried out. When Cocchi takes the trouble to cable that the poiice and he were in- | velved in no schemes, it looks as if he was determined to play the game to the end. Now that the American soldiers in France have been termed Teddies, perhaps the kaiser, knowing the sig- nificance of the name, will change his opinion of them. It is all right to talk about there being no jusfification for the high | prices but thc consumer well knows | that such declarations have not | brought about the desired changes. 1t might be well to find out the truth of the assertions that the I. W. W. have agents who are ready to burn the wheat crops, and if it is establish- ed put them where they will do harm to nobody. H With the representatives of German insurance companies allowed to zo aboard ‘our steamships and trans | ports. is there any wonder that Ger- many knows when they sail and where they are goinz? There are many vouths throughout ! the land who have their hands, legs and eves intact because it was a safe and sane observance of the Fourth this yvear. And it is a decided im- provement over other vears. It will be with gratification that it is learned that the Olympia has been refloated and can be repaired. Ves- sels are too much: in demand today to dispense with even such an aged warship as Dewey's old flag=hip through such an accident. Having reached the conclusion that the American force in France is small and inconsequential, Berlin must be kicking itself to think it wasted a submarine trying to prevent it from lamding, Yet if a small force can accomplisk s Germany has reason to watch out for still bigger things. | about Helen was off duty tonight, and she must make up her mind to write to Bob and give him her answer which she tully intended it to be, “No;" for, aithough she knew she ioved Bob be ter than Adrian, she was going to marry Adrian, as Bob was “just a fireman” working for wages, while Adtian was the owner of a larse bus- iness concern: and she was so tired of nursing day in and day out that she just wanted to settle down in luxury and have nothing to worry about whatsoever. Besides, Adrian stood so high in so- ciety social affairs that she always felt’ so honored when he took her to the different events. To think of be- g this man's wife would be wonder- ful, she could rest, sleep and eat when she pleased, with servanmts at her command. Yes, she must write to Bob and expain to him the reason why she had not answered his letter within the past month was because she was trying to ask herseif whether she loved him eénough to marry, and now must confess that even though she admired him and thought him ideal in every respect, she did not love him enough to marry him. Helen sat down and began to write and wrote on until éhe had written must confess I do not.” and was about to make the letter “1." when the pen fell from her fingers. Oh, how could she tell him she did not iove him when sbe really did? What was she going to do? Would she go against her own conscience just to marry Adrain? And big tears welled in her eyes. Just then Helen became conscious of the fire whistle blowing and the clanz of the fire bells below. She jumped up and raised the curtain. “Great heaven! The hotel on fire! 1 wonder if all the people are out? Oh, no, I see them be- ing carried out in all _directions. Mercy! cee that child in the window of the top flight!

Uncle the statement sp forth. I usuaily found that what might be taken at first for a halo around the knight's head was on a closer view just as liable to be a pair of horns, and the protection was more apt to be used for himself than othe: wise. As for counsel. it is exceedingly aiffcult to get, I find. I am often as- tonished when asking men questions on ordinary matters to find that they know much less about them than I do myseif. When women asked for the ballot, if the men had shown a spirit of fair pay and a bit of that chivairy that Uncie Billie points to with pride, they would have said: “It belongs to vou, and vyou shall bave it.” Then many of the things that our Uncle =0 condemns would never have hap- pened. If only he could be just enough to imagine himself for a moment in a woman's place. wou'd he not see that her right to vote is equal to his own? The blessings thai we share with others are usually the ones that bring us the greatest joy. There is nothing the ballot that needs to make a woman the less womanly or the less devoted to her home if it is her good | fortune to have one. With it she stands her chance to do good and fight evil. It is hers by right. and in time she will have it. Let us be patient. AUNT SALLIE. Painfield, Conn.. July 9. 1917. Needs Enlightenment. Mr. Editor: Uncle Billie of Eagle- ville has just started in the suffrage campaign. T should think, and he needs enlightenment on the subject Do tell him that a woman can do all those things that he thinks she is so we’l fitted for and can also put a bal- | lot in the baliot box. Yes, the “weaker sex and the clinging vine” has brains and can understand and vote for what iz best in her town and village when the stronger sex of our state is edu- cated up to believe it.
