PETRIFIED MUD TRACKS

The slab is an unusually good specimen, as both sides have marks of geological interest. It measures 12 feet by 6 feet. : The ripple marks were made in the ooze millions of years ago when the region of the present Connecticut Valley. was a large river bottom, occasionally flooded. They are unusually distinct. ; i e b ~ The foot prints show that at least two dinosaurs, one & big one, the other apparently its young, roamed over the ‘mud flats on their hind legs, The larger tracks are about eight inches long and the indicated stride four or five feet, o

BACK TO THE LAND

Farmers’ Sons and Daughters No ' Longer Lured by the Citles. Parmers’ sons—eand daughters—are no longer leaving the old homestead for the bright lights. lln fact, the movement of sons and daughters seems to be the other way. A lot of them who went to town when wages were high are now prodigally seeping back to where presumably there is a fatted calf and a warm place for the winter,. The lure of the city seems to have lost its grip. : ' Authority for the statement,that the old homestead is looking up is found In a semi-monthly erop report on general farm conditions compiled recently by Verne H. Chureh, statisticlan of the federal-state bureaw of farm crop estimates. The report declares: o “The flow of people from the farm to the city seems to have been checked, lln fact, there 1s apparent a counter ‘movement of equal or greater volume.” .

TARIFF REDUCES FARM MARKETS

With Factories Closed-Consumers ; Cannot Purchase.

CUBA WAS A BIG' BUYER

Cannot Export Produce Unless Other Countries Can Sell Us,

; By H. E. MILES, - Chairman, of the Fair Tariff League. W'ln a small town in ap ggricultural section of the United States, not far from the Canadian border, there is a glove factory. This concern has been for years selling a large part of its product annually In Candda. Congress In the Emergency Tariff Act placed on goods imported from Canada a tarifl‘ 80 high that it made it unprofitable for the Canadians longer to sell their goods {n the American market.’ The small-town glove factory, among many others, lost it§ Canadian market and had to shut down. It is an economic law that a nation buys where it sells. It must do this In order to have money to pay its bills in the country where the bills are contracted. ' Canada being unable to sell her 'gooods In this country was forced to ~Bell her surplus elsewhere. Naturally, | then, she supplied her needs in other ‘ markets. But this particular glove factory is important because of its effect on the prosperity of the nearby farmers, ¢ . ° The plight of this factory Is an ex‘ample of how the prosperity of every interest in this country i ZFependent upon the prosperity of practically every other intérest. This glove factory is the mainstay of the town: Practically all the wage earners work ‘there. When thelr means of livelihood was cut off their ability to purchase Was gone, ; : “ | The ' smgller farmers who had a ready .market at their very doors fortheir butter and eggs and other farm products found it necessary to seek other and less satisfactory markets out of town. But when they got out l into the world market they found thatsomething was happening, - l Everything they tried to sell was sold - at a greatly reduced price, but everything that they attempted to buy they found was reduced only slightly in price or not reduced atsall. The Farmer Whipsawed B Many complicated factors enter into a situation of this kind, but one of the most important factors is the tariff. I have®hown in a previous article that in at least®wo commodities, these of sugar and wool, the tariff protection accorded by the increased rates on these two commodities does not reach the farmer, but stops with and enriches the manufacturer, | There is a chemical plant In the state of New Jersey which makes a ferltflizer product for the Cuban market. - Cuba’s sugar industry has been prac‘tically ruined by a 60 per cent increase in the tariff on raw sugar. <Cuba is unable to buy the product of this chemfeal factory.. One thousand men are out of work. The families of those one thousand men would use at least a thousand dozen of eggs a week and not less than a thousand pounds of butter and certainly not less than three thousand pounds of.meat, all products of the American farmer, - - But In'the case of Cuba there is even a more direct loss of market to the farmer. v ; A glance at the trade reports shows’ that Cuba is one of the American farmer's most important customers. In 1920 Cuba purchased of us more than 50 per cent of all our exports of hogs, lard compounds, canned sausage, rice, potatoes, beans and onfons. She rank ed second among the nations in the purchase of our cattle, horses, mules, pickled pork, sausage other than can--ned, poultry, cheese, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa and prepared choco--late and corn. She ranked third in the purchase of hams and shoulders; mis--cellaneous canned meat products, hay. ‘and flour. Cuba bought from us during 19190 and 1920 over $85,000,000 worth of truck gardening and farm products, over $6,600,000 worth of live stock, over $15,000,000 worth of dairy products, over $60,000,000 worth .of meat products, over $63,000,000 worth of ‘cotton g!:th and over $30,000,000 worth of manufactures of cotton. ;

Farmer Needs Cuban Market

It is pretty evident, then, that the American farmer needs his Cuban market. It is further quite clear that if this enormous quantity of surplus agricultural goods were dumped on-the home market his prices would £lump still more. _ | Now, where does Cuba get the money with. which to purchase our goods? The answer is “sugar.” Cuba produces 4,000,000 tons of sugar annually. This enormous crop s the malnstay of Cu--ban prosperity. If it falls her, she must go. bankrupt. About one-half of her _output of sugar she sells in the United_States. : ' E, If an increased tariff makes it lm“possible for Cuba to sell her sugar in ‘this country her power to buy goods here Is going to be cut off, : : ; - We sold Cuba $515,000,000 worth of ~goods in 1920, and 'a large part -of these sales were manufactured products. b e : “ _As in the case of the little town that was dependent upon the glove factory for its existence and could not buy Its supplies from the surrounding farmers when the factory shut down, so in gen_eral, if American manufacturers are _seriously injured by losing such an important market as Cuba, it Is going to. _curtall thewages paid to labor and in turn will curtail the farmers’ domestlc _ Principal of the high School and Bdward Fisher, after attending the basket ball game at Angola went to Ann - Arbor, Mich, arriving home ‘Sunday night. PR Herbert B. Brown has about fe‘and 1s at his place of business again.

Firing From Ambush.

Judge Thompson 'at intervals re.Ceives annonymous communications: pointing out to him violations of -the law and uging him to become a policeman and prosecuting attorney in bringing offenders to justice. The writers .of these commuications and a good ‘many otehrs are under the._ mistaken impression that it is the duty of a judicial officer to assume the role of sleuth in hunting down misdemeanors and bring proceedings. Nothing could be further from the truth. His duty is to make decisions - on ,matters which properly come behim, and to work up cases for his court is not to be thought of. When crimes or misdemeanors are being committed in a community it ig the . duty of the citizen acquainted with the facts to start the' legal. machinery Jfor = their correction by filing complaints. Then it becomes the duty of- the judge to issue wararnts, the police ' officers will make the arrest and the presecuting attorney will prosecute the cause in the name of the state. The citizen who does his duty in the premises will have no complaint against the officers. *
