A groceryman in a near town
happened around when a farmer
was unloading several boxes of
groceries which he had ordered
from a Chicago house. The
grocer asked the farmer the price
of the articles purchased and
then told him he could sell them
just as cheap. The farmer then
said: is that so? I take the
home paper but you seldom or
never advertise and if you do, you
never quote prices. The Chica-
go stores advertise. l am not a
mind reader"

A North Dakota paper has the
following: 1T is reported that
one of the fastidious newly mar
ried ladies of this town kneads
bread with her gloves on. This
incident may be somewhat pc
culiar; but there are others.
This editor needs bread with his
shoes on; he needs bread with
his shirt on; he needs bread with
his pants on, and unless some of
the delinquent subscribers of
this Old Rag of Freedom pony up
before long he will need bread
without a d-thing on, and
North Dakota is no Garden of
Eden in the winter. time.

Governor Cooling is working
tooth and nail with the sheep
men of south Idaho to have a
new law passed reducing the two
mile limit to a half mile limit,
thus practically doing away with
the two mile limit law" now
in force. Two years ago Mr..
Gooding promised the people
that if elected he would see that
the law was not changed in the
slightest degree, yet now he is
laboring to kill it. This is no
surprise to many as Gooding has
always been for No. 1 and now
that his political star is on the
wane he is trying to feather his
own nest in every way possible.

The better the town is the
better the surrounding country
is certain to be and the better
prices will be paid for property
adjoining such thrifty villages.
This is amply manifested by the
high prices being paid for proper
ty of all kinds around Cotton
wood. The man who believes in
his home town and community
and spends his money with his
home tradespeople is the man
who is a benefit to his country
for as he aids in making his
home town successful he also
reaps the reward in having his
own property advance in value
as his town and community
prOspers. Hence, we say, spend
your money at home where it
will come back to you or to those
who come after you. Every dol
lar you send out of your county
might as we'll be thrown in the
ocean for all the future good il
will do you.

concerning newspapers, and it is
safe to say it will not soon be
forgotten by the pencil pushers.
He said: Every year every
local paper gives from 5000 to
$4,000 free lines for the benefit
of the community in which it is
located. At fair advertising
rates, 10 cents a line, this means
$500 to $4,000. No other agency
can or will do this. The editor,
in proportion to his means, does
more for his home town than
any other man. He ought to be
supported, not because you
happen to like him or admire his
writing, but because a local
paper is the best investment a
community can make. 1t may
not be crowded with great
thought, but financially it is of
more benefit than both preacher
and teacher. Today editors do
more for less pay than any man
on earth. Patronize your home
paper, not as a charity, but as
an investment. "

ation whatever in order to receive that sum; while 6 girl preparing for teach ing must have years of preparation and training, and she is offered just $3S more per year to teach in New Ravens schools than the f1fteen-year- old girl can earn in the factory with out any preparation whatever.
 The teachers schedule as sent out by the New Haven Teachers league has yet to be improved upon. It asks $150 per day as the minimum salary, and that Is, in the eyes of cit izens and taxpayers, most modest sum.
 We hail with much appreciation MT. Moran's selection of Providence 1 in his comparison. Would that the schedule offered by Mir Moran could compares favorably with our Rhode Island sister city To illustrate: The grammar school schedule in effect in Providence, like the teachers sched !. ule, calls for but two maxinlums. MT. Moran's schedule calls for four. In Providence the minimum salary in the grammar schools is $500; the maximum is s900. The tachers' schedule asks for a $450 minimum and $S50 maximum. Providence, by the way, too, has schedule for the ] high school.
 This brings us to one of the most interesting portions of MT. Moran's statement; that is the sophistry that characterizes his argument against a schedule for the high school He says:
 "In my opinion, this proposed schedule is untenable and absurd. If adopted, New Haven would be pre- cluded, whatever the circumstances might be, from employing any man in its high schools, except in manual work, at a lower salary than $1,000 As a matter of fact, it has often hap pened that New Haven has been able to obtain the services of competent land experienced men teachers for less than S1,000. The opportunities offer ed by the university for graduate study attracts to this city many mer who are glad to teach in our higt !sehool at lower salary than they
 would accept elsewhere. The em'
 ploynent of these men, at a salary
 mutually agreed upon, is of advan' tage to them and toN the school I
 seems to me a violation of ordinary
 common sense to adopt a schedule which would render it impossible fol

the board to utilize in this situation. n
 The schedule is said to be untenable and absurd because it requires that a salary, confessedly too small to SUD- port family shall be paid to man who by long years of study has fitted himself for his profession. Is there no question of public policy here? Is teaching, in the highest department of our school system to be regarded as a profession or as trade? If it is to be a profession then salaries must be paid adequate to attract those of pro- fessional capacity. If it is to be a trade like the work of factory opera tive, if it is to be placed on a com petitive basis, and it's positions thrown open to the lowest bidder then let us and let the country be prepared to accept the baleful consequences that must follow. It requires no profound insight into economic law to convince one who gives a moments thought to the matter that such a policy would of necessity in a short time work the same transformation in the personnel of the teaching profession as that which in the last generation has taken place in our cotton and woolen factor ies.
 There is not a position in our high school that could not instantly be filled at one-half or one-third the sal ary now paid. But, citizens of New Haven, do you want them thus filled? It has been the glory of the school system of America that thus far, for the most part, 1t has been under the management of men with sufficient wisdom and moral insight to cause them to hold it back from the demoli- tion of the lowest bidder.'
 It is perfectly obvious that MT. Mo- rans whole argument concerning the high school is based upon the thought less assumption that New Haven, like factory owner should pay it's teach CTS the smallest wages for which a sufficient number Regardless of quail ityl will consent to work.
 If this policy is to be adopted then, under the law of self-preservation, a complementary policy must be adopt ed by the teachers; that which has saved American labor from the squalor of the Orient. This is exactly the sit uation to which the policy of our pres ent school board Is driving the pa

manage, diploma will not be grant ed until such student has given suffi- cient evidence to the faculty that the required standard, both, in teaching and management, has been attained.
 It does seem as though, after so thorough course as is given at the State Normal school, the graduate Is not novice in the work, as MT. Moran would make 1t appear; and it does seem as if one dollar and half a day is not too much for girl to ex- pect after an education covering at least fourteen years, eight of which are spent in grammar school, four in high school and two in Normal Train ing school.
 Mir. Moran, however thinks one dollar and sixteen cents is enough to offer after so thorough preparation for teaching. He says it must be borne in mind that the school year in New Haven covers only 190 days, or thirty-eight, weeks of five days each True, but the teacher, like the rest of mankind, must live for 365 days, or fifty-two weeks of seven days each, and MT. Moran certainly knows that $1. 16 per day does not nowadays do much more than appease the bangs of hun ger!
 MT. Moran says that if New Haven is to pay $1.50 per day as it's mini mum salary the board of education | would better employ only teachers who had had one or more years of actual teaching experience, and such a plan would preclude the New Haven graduates of the State Normal school from entering the New Haven schools until they had gone outside and ob- tained the necessary experience.
 Direful threat this to the New Ha- ven girls, who, having served at least l two years of apprenticeship in the State Normal school in preparation for teaching, are said by MT. Moran 1 to be glad of the opportunity to re- ceive $1,16 per day They are moi glad, and not satisfied They rightly feel that their experience in their Normal school course fits them to be worth at least s1.50 per day, and that they should not be compelled to leave their own city in order to procure a living wage

TEACHERS FIRE
 BACK AT MORAN
CContinued from First Page,)

MT. Moran says that it would be ex- trernely unwise to pay $450 per year to a graduate of the State Normal school upon her graduation, as she is without any actual experience in the handling of a school room on her own responsi- bility,
 Consequently, he says, the first year in New Haven schools is trial year, and at it's close it can be determined whether or not the young woman will probably succeed as a teacher.
 Evidently Mir Moran fails to realize that the state of Connecticut is sup porting a Normal training school right here in our midst, where our high school graduates, who aspire to be teachers, serve two years in training in the art of instructing and governing in the public schools.
 Their junior year is spent in the study of the subjects taught in the public schools and in the selecting from them the essential truths that should be the teachers possessions.
 In the senior year, the young woman must practlce the art or teaching and governing. She serves as an assistant in various grades of the Model schools for half the year, where she has the opportunityt to practice modes of in- struction and discipline under the guid- lance and criticism of competent teach CTS.
 At the close of the course, diplomas are awarded to those who:
 1. Have throughout the course main tained standard of conduct befitting 6 teacher, and
 ?. Have attained the required stand. ard of scholarship in every prescribed subject, and
 3. Have exhibited at least a fair de- gree of skill in teaching and govern ing children.
 A. Have passed the state examina' tlons and secured at least an elemen tary certificate.

THOMs FOR GOVERNOR.
And Many Who Would Like Mayors
 Present Position,

Mayor Thoms is bound to be in the race for gubernatorlal honors some day and when he gets into the running whoever opposes him will know he was in sprinting match. Of course this is rather an hoppor- tune time to spring anything like this on the mayor when share of his time is occupied looking over lieu tenants for the next two years to help hir? manage the city government. But, say, isn't 1t strange that one hears so little about commissioner ships, bosses and so these times? Many take it as an indication that there will be few, if any changes at all while others attribute it to his honor's well known plan of keeping his mind to himself. There is not much time to spare now to present your application for place on one of the boards, for all the places will be filled within a few weeks, so that if you have any ambition to get into the band wagon there is not much time left.

PAID FOR SEWER.
Board of Works Didn't Know
 Pipes We're Laid.

The board of public works eyed the map for the West Side hill sewer very closely last night, but just the same they never caught on to the fact that a section of sewer was con- structed there some time ago with out their knowledge. The parties made fight to get the service from the mayor and board of public works. but his honor dismissed them with the remark that there was no money for that class of work and besides in case a sewer should be built in that district any property owner in the inside district could get out an injunction restraining them from connecting with the system. But the petitioners were women folks and didn't propose to be. turned down Dy the mayor and his commis- sioners, and hied themselves off to some more accommodating person, with the result that the sewer was put in and the house connected with it, and it worked just as we'll as if it had the sanction of the whole city government. Of course the parties paid for it and so long as they did they have no reason to offer apologies to anybody.

The Primitive Violin,

Tn its primitive form the violin was direct development of the Tyre and monochord-the strings from the for mer and the elongated box, with its sound holes, finger board and movable bridge, from the latter. The history of the violin began with the invention of the bow some time before the thir- teenth century, when the voile, or vielle, used by the troubadours, made its ap- pearance This instrument underwent many changes until the middle of the sixteenth century, when the true violin model appeared. The primitive violin had little or no contour. It was not until the thirteenth century that the vielle was scooped out at the waist. The corner blocks were added in the fifteenth century and are attributed to Germany. For nearly century the sound holes were shifted all over the instrument before they were cut fin their proper place and the bridge fixed between them.-Circle Magazine.

will be that Fisher was not acquaint- ed with the road, that he had had no educational runs over it and that Hills siding was considerably length ened and that he was not informed or this. #
 On this point Assistant States At torney Kellogg has prepared himself, for he has already introduced large number of documents showing that for a year preceding the accident Fisher as engineer had travelled over the road between Waterbury and Winsted, Bridgeport and New Haven.
 Conductor William Flynn of the regular passenger train from New Haven testified he was seated in the smoking car of his train with his watch in his hand as they were ap preaching Hills siding. He was looking out for light ahead that would indicate that the special was in his vicinity His train was on the main track going at about thirty miles an hour. He said it was at 12:44 when he felt the air brakes put LII duu luCu IuC Ilolho hASC III collision. When things were some- what calmed down he went ahead to see how his engine crew were and found both engineer and fireman dead and Eaton sitting on the tracks He heard some one say My God, what has happened?" The conductor found a brakeman prostrate but he shook him up and gave him lantern to go back to flag any train that might possibly be coming from that direction and he also sent one of the Grays ahead with another lantern for the same purpose. He found Norton dead on the tracks. He tolc Condutcor Eaton to stop talking ant when asked by counsel for defense why he told the conductor so, MI Flynn said he advised him to stoI talking for the common good "of us all, our employers and our inter ests." He considered their employ CTS interests their interests.
 B. R. Blatchley, treasurer of thu Grays, was the next witness.
