Ofllb‘.ll-l -&u-nshm st CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING JULY 22nd, 1922 11,746 —— FAEMERS' WEEK, The Connecticut Agricultura] College at Storrs is looked to as the fountain head of information that is particularly. valyable to farmers of this state, In va- rious ways are its influences being spread for the good of the cultivators of the soll, poultrymen, beekeepers, fruit raisers, dairymen and sheep raisers of this commonwealth. The training that is being given the students is serving to heip place farm activities in Connec- tieut on a much higher plane, and the many ways in which its services ars be- ing made available to those beyond ecol- lege age Is just what is appreciated by those who are anxious to know more about their business. For that reason there is bound to be not only a .widespread endorsement of the programme which has been provided for the “Farmers' week” at the college which opens next Monday evening to continus through Friday, ,but there should be a general participation in the privileges thus afforded. It not omly affords a chance to get in toush with the work that is being dome by the institution but also to get some of the benefits. Farmers' week comes at the season of the year when the collegs Is busy only with its sum- mer courses and it is fixed at a time ‘when those buey on the farms can best Jeave their work for part if mot for the entire period covered by the programme and absorb some of the excellent advice and ideas that are bound to. be ad- vanced, for the benmefit of the individual and as a result the general benefit of the entire agricultura] interests of the state, Experts have been secured to give eurate and valuable information upon the many subjects of farm activities and #t should be made to count not only to the full extent of the plans but for the greatest good of the greztest number, Arranged In cooperation with the seve eral state agricultural associations ths plan is not & new one, and judging from the past all farmers of the state who, ean possibly do so will not deny them- selves the chance to get the views of those who have solve dreal farm prob. tems. P WAR FRAUD CASES. As is known there has been persist- ent demand for the prosecution of those responsible for war frauds. Not long ago it was declared by the nternev‘; genera] that plans were underway for| that very thing and while there were statements to the effect that there was) an opportunity for discrimination 1t be-! comes evident that the attorney general has well anicipated that by the appoint. ment of & bi-partisan board of admin- istration and review, and an advisory eouncil for the direction of the cases. The attorney general will be chairman of both the board and council but the decision as to whether there shall ve prosecution of the cases or steps taken| to drop them will rest entirely with the board. It is to be realized that in conectim with the many cases In which fraud charges have been made that the lack of evidence may warrant the failure to prosecute quite the same as in any oth- er matter. Likewise it can be appre- ciated that there may be Instances where the change is not warranted and the time and expense required for lead- ng up to @ certain verdict for the de- fendant is nhjustified. With a bi-partie san board determiining what action shall be taken in_sending cases to trial or of dropping them, it i plain that the at- torney general has carefully guarded against unwarranted attacks from such prosecutions as take place. He nas even taken care that even the snedau prosecutors will not decide what cas are to be heard and what are to be dis- missed. in the prosecution of those charged with fraud In connection with war con- tracts the desire is for justi¢e, and such s to be expected regardless of the po- Iitical leanings of the accused. Be- cause 2 man belongs to one party does not call for his prosecution any more than as if he was a member of the oth- er. It is his acts, regardless of his partisanship, that are under surveillance and it is to be expected that he will be judged by what he has done rather than by the way he votes. The departmant of justice in the naming of the boa-d and council has takem good care to guard that point, THE MUSCLE SHOALS PROJECT. In regard to Muscle Shoals Into which the government has put so much money, and into which it is asked o put more, the end ig not yet. There was much interest aroused when Henry Ford made his offer to the government. It was the means of diregting greater attention to that project, and promptly called forth offers by others who desired the opportunity to promote the possibil-. ities of that locality and plant. When it came to taking action upon the offer it was plainly a case that could not be passed upon without care- ful consideration of all the features. Tt was necessary to know the present con- ditlons and possibilities and to unaar- stand what was meant by the Ford of-) fer. There was no desire to disposp of n highly valuable property for a dong, any more than It was desired that mJ money which the government has nM ready put into it should be charged up: to waste and the further development of a valuable power plant be prevented.

The importance of seeuring an agree- ment among the producers relative to! these matters can. be appreciated, With the operators responding to the require- ments of the government in the efforts to meet the needs of the country con- cerning fuel it is to be realized that they are avoiding an endless amount of criticism by so doing. While it cannot be clajmed that the operators” are en- tirely blameless in connection with con- ditions in the coal industry should they, balk and refuse to cooperate with the “ ‘Mr. Brazee is on thé wire. said the exchange girl, and Mr. Stowe began dalk- ing into a disk in his most affable man- mer.

Now do you wonder that I am going to 1l make Traf pay everything for the chil- dren after that?” “Well, of all the things I ever heard of!” Florette's friends gasped by way of answer. z “Do have some of . this frapne and cake,” said her hostess.—Exchange.

Then someone suddenly discoverel that a New York preacher had ysed it in his sermon, and Dr. Paxton was credited with heing the source of tms popular epigram.

In Russia under the soviets the deatn penalty is imposed for most anything. There is a willingness to permanently dispose of those who do not happen to. favor the established government, or those who undertake to resist the con- fiscatory action of the government lead- ers. In their desperate efforts tor tunds to continue the government which is Te- sponsible for deplorable venaitions in Russia, the soviet leaders resorted to the raiding of the churches. They de- manded that the valuables of the church be turned over to the soviet govern- ment. There were those who yielded without much opposition, but there were others who resisted such robbery, and it is because of such resistance that they have been condemned to death, although they are some of the most prominent church leaders in all Russia. Protests have been made concerning the deposing of the head of the Russian church and now it is desired that ‘efforts be made to prevent the killing of a authority for this discovery Dill Wilson, of Glendale, Ohio.
