Miss Young is 64 years of age, and has followed the teaching profession for AT years, thus proving another strong refutation to the theory of Oslerism, that one has his or her usefulness after passing the half century mark.

NEW HAVEN WANTS
 A TRADE SCHOOL
Leading Manufacturers and Business Men Working to Get it Away from
 Bridgeport.
STATE BOARD THERE TODAY

New Haven, Aug. 2.-When the state board of education convenes in the Chamber of Commerce hall, 763 Chapel street, this afternoon at o'clock, the fact that the manufacturers and busi- ness men of this city are anxious that one of the two trade schools authoriz- ed by the legislature for the state of Connecticut, be established in New Haven, will be clearly put forth. The majority of the 160 representative manufacturers and business men of this city who signed the Chamber of Commerce petition, asking that New Haven be selected as a site for one of the schools. will attend the meeting and advocate why one of the insti- tutions should be located here.
 Practically all the largest manufac- turers in New Haven, the men who have done much to make this city the largest in the state and what it is as a manufa curing town have expressed their opinion that one of the schools be located here. Some who have not had an opportunity to afiX their sig natures to the Chamber of Commerce petition and who are anxious that one of the schools be located here, will attend this afternoons meeting and state why they think New Haven is the best adapted city in the state for one of the two schools.
 The recent act passed by the legis-
 
 the establishment and maintenance of the schools. No person under four teen years of age will be admitted to the schools, except during vacation periods The school shall be free, there being day and evening sessions.
 The State Board of Education shall expend the funds provided for the support of trade schools, appoint and remove their teachers and make rules for their management.
 Bridgeport has been, and still is, fighting hard for the establishment of the school there, and if 1t is not locat- ed in this city it will be in the Park City, in all probab bility. Already the state board of education has heard the arguments of the Bridgeport man. ufacturers and business men as to why the school should be established in their city. It is true that Bridge port is more of a manufacturing town than New Haven. but the Elm City has other facilities, which are lacking in Bridgeport being a railroad center, located in the midst of a number of smaller cities and having the largest population in the state.

Editor of Farmer. Sir-

Editor of Farmer, Sir:-
 Owing to the Constant and crin1i- nal increase in the cost of living there has been an appalling increase of pow erty, crime, lunacy and suicide. The newspapers are daily filled with ac- counts of crimes and suicides-hun- dreds of eases are hushed up and never published at all.
 True, we have no free souphouses as in the days of Cleveland's admin istration-there appears to be no one tically every city has an antiquated wood yard''. What business firm would for a moment employ hand la Dor in this age of steam, electricity, gas-enSines, gasolene-engines. etc.?
 God only knows how the pover- ty-stricken millions are to subsist on the Good Old Promises-and, what is worse,-the Grating Old Pirates don't care a rap, but
 The big steel ships composing our navy are engaging in mimic war on the eastern coast. Ships which cost SIPS, GOO, 900 to build are pitted against each other and within the next few days ammunition worth s4,000,000 will be exploded.
 -Four million dollars blown hway, utterly waStedi Four million dollars literally burnt up. Think of the crime of it!
 Millions of wretched women and suf- fering children are to be found all over this land, but the government can do nothing to allay thelr hunger bangs or to relieve their agonies.
 Not one cent has the great Ameri- can government for the millions that are wretched, homeless, hungry, mis- erable beyond description-not a cent. Let them die like dogs! They are not worth saving.
 They are but a vile encumbrance and the quicker they rot away and cease to sob and sigh and groan, the better. Let them rot and go to hell.
 They are not worth a cent. But this great capitalist government can blow four million dollars into the air in mimic warfare, practicing murder for the glory of capitalism.
 Uncle Sam can afford a four mil lion deba unch, but he has not a cent to succor his dying children
 This is capitalism.
 Rice is mostly used for filling up '.Chinks'' Uncle Sam has plenty of mercy and plenty of money to aid starving Chinese or Japanese or Ital- ians-but he is so near sighted that he fails to heed any suffering at home the only thing he gives his own poor is-more taxes to pay. There is no fool like an old fool'-Uncle Sam must be getting pretty old, don't you think so?

A bed bug crawling on your children's clothes when away from home does not speak we'll of that home, but instead gives to your friends a lasting impression of neglect and carelessness in that home and is often W hispered d around among other friends of the family. Such un- pleasant comment could have been avoided if you had used Cyrus Presto Killer for Bedbugs. The cost is only 9 cents and would have effectually cleaned the bed.

OF MILK
 DUE TO DROIJTH

New York, Aug. Flowing to the continued drought in the district that supplies New York and it's environs with milk, there is now shortage that will probably result in increases in the price of milk from 8 to 9 cents a quart while cream will go from 12 tol 13 cents. Dealers declare that the drought has been so serious that during the month of July not more than two-thirds of the usual supply was brought in to New York. They say the she rtage is felt in all lines of business in which milk is used

 An amusing incident happened on a trolley car leaving Milford for this city few days ago. At the green, two women boarded the car. As us- ual the end-seat grabber, this time. a rustic looking individual, who was evil dently picking up city ways rapidly, made no effort to move an inch As one of the women laboriously worked her way past him, she did not mo- tice neatly covered basket at his feet, until she had firmly set one foot into the middle of the basket, leaving the imprint of number six shoe plainly outlined on the clean cloth covering. She quickly took her seat, as nearby passenger remarked Suppose it held egss.'
