 YEARS, $500

Meriden, Conn.,, July 26.-Three years of peace for $500 has been purchased by Joseph Boucher of this city. Boucher alleges that life with his wife was "one continual nag' and that thirty-six months of immunity from persecution is cheap at the price paid. Mrs. Boucher ac- cepted the proposition by signing the following unique contract: I", Marie Boucher, do hereby agree not to bother my husband, come near him nor ask him for money for the space of three years" The woman has gone to the home of her par ents in Canada. At the expiration of the agreement, if she wishes, she may return.

THE BREAD QUESTION.

If figures gathered by the Depart ment of Agriculture are dependable. there will be smaller loaves of bread this year. According to reports, Eng land, France and Germany are facing short crops and the worlds wheat yield will be about 300,000,O00 bushels under normal. This condition is se-
 rious when the famines scourging Russia and China are considered. In strange contrast looms up the crop prosperity of Canada, particularly the new, western part. All reports receiv- ed dwell upon the great acreage under cultivation and the excellent condition of the wheat In a statement just re- ceived here, which was issued by Frank O. Fowler of Winnipeg, secre- tary of the Northwestern Grain Deal ers' Association, it is shown that be- tween five and six million acres are producing wheat in Manitoba, Sas- katchewan and Alberta, and that bar ley and flax show an increase in acre. age under cultivation of ten and twelve per cent, respectively.

his success, a dozen union bands, and several thousand union labor voters marched down Market street and paused in front of each news paper building to pay assorted com pliments. The bands played the death march with drums unmuffled.
 Schmitz's conduct after San Fran cisco's disaster alienated his friends and woD the support of the people who had fought him.Th his new found friends deserted him when evidence of graft began to appear and his old supporters took him up again. Schmitz then decided that a European trip would benefit his health. He sailed from New York and an indictment of five counts was filed against him by the grand jury When he re-entered the state of Cali fornia he was put under arrest, but at the ferry house in San Francisco, there were three brass bands head ing a procession of welcome. The bands played, "See the Conquering Hero Comes," says an exchange.

PSYCHOLOGY OF THE TEDDY
 BEAR,

The Teddy Bear Is social me- mace, an alder and abettor of race, suicide acconrding to the recent ad- monition given by Reverend Micheal G. Esper of St. Josephs Catholic church, of St. Joseph, Mo-, to the Ladies Sodality when about to give doll fair in the aid of the church finances.
 With considerable Justification in the primal instincts of the race, the priest said.
 There is something natural" said Father Esper, lin the care of a doll by little girl. It is the first manifestation of the feeling of motherhood. And in the develop ment of these motherly instincts is the hope of all nations. Tt is monstrous crime to do anything that will tend to destroy these instincts. That is what the Ted 
 dy bear is doing, and that is why it is going to be a factor in the race suicide problem if the custom is not suppressed.
 oIt is terrible enough that the present generation of parents in this country are leading us into grave danger by the practice of race sui, eide If We cannot awaken them. let us at least save the future gen. erations."
 Though I shall not forbid it, would like it understood by all who are to participate in the event that it is my earnest desire that no one bring a Teddy Bear to add to the

RISE AND FALL OF SCHMITZ

The rise and fall of Mayor Schmitz, of San Francisco, illus trates the possibilities, and in some cases, the vicissitudes Of American politics. From drumcer boy in a theater to the position of chief ex- ecutive of one of the largest cities in the world is not the greatest dis tance that has been overcome, but circumstances connected with it are notable. Schmitz was an orchestra leader when first elected mayor. His election seemed an accident to the shocked old line Republican and Democrats who were first defeated by the Labor Union Party in 1901, but later it developed that he was the creator of a set of politicians Of a newer school. One of the leaders under him was king among the carpenters and another, a Swede, ruled the water front. But the great est of the lot was Abe Ruef, a lawyer.
 Schmitz ruled serenely for one term. with clever Abe and other do- ing yeoman work on the side to se- cnre his reelection and guarantee long lease to the spells of the office. On the night of his reelection, when all the newspapers in the city which had been arrayed againset the Union Labor candidate, conceded

matter. Mr.. Ankeny said at the Ar

1.-TWO years is long time to figure

cided to again enter the race for my
present position, but there is a lot of
work l would like to do before

cannot do this during the two remain

very probably be a candidate for re-
election.

Der of other candidates, but there
seems to be large number who
want me to continue in the senate.

support in another campaign. l I'M

before, if I am unable to accomplish
all l desire to bring about in the
remaining years Of my present term
will make a big effort to retain my
position for another term.
