Inquest in Death
Of COlOred Woman

Coroner hewitt today ordered an in
quest over the body of Lille Straight
ner. colored, thirty-five years old, of 1924
Grace street. Georgetown, who died yes
terday in the Georgetown University
Hospital from a fractured skull.
1t was thought at first that death
was due to natural causes, but an au-
topsy showed that the woman's skull
had been fractured. The police charge
that the woman was struck with a
brick thrown by John johnson at Mary
Reynolds during an alteration at the
Grace street house about two weeks
ago. Johnson and the Reymonds wo-
man are now in the workhouse.

strike that is demoralizing the business
of the empire and its trade with other
nations as well.
But the advancing prices of bars and
steel shapes, the conservative action Of
the Steel Corporation in refusing con-
tracts beyond July at present prices,
and the good demand for Steel shares
probably had more effect than any
single factor. There was a report that
the Steel pool had dissolved after dis
tributing their stock at q good profit.
II this Is so, the market did not confirm
the report, as Steel was a good leader
and especially strong, 1880 shares being
sold in the first hour, and as much
more in the second with about n'OOO
on the second rally Steel sold to

Poor Economy

The town that brags about the low
cost of its educational system is like
unto the mllkman who finds cause
for qualification in the poor quality
of feed on which he is able to keep
his stock alive Skimping schools is
always poor economy II is well
enough, of course, TO know that mon
ey for this purpose is spent with due
care, but once satisfied that every
dollar of our school appropriation is
buying as much as is to be expected
we should be pleased rather than
panied at the thought that our ex-
penditure along this line is more than
the average. Greenfield has just
found that 1t pays less for the edu
cation of its children than the aver,
age Massachusetts town, anent which
the Gazette wisely says:
This Is not a matter in which we
should seek any bargain counter
goods. Greenfield is much above the
average town in its per capita wealth
1t should expect more than the aver
age town for the training OF its chill
dren. The changes in our teachinl
force are too rapid Our best teach
ers are constantly being taken away

During the past year there were
1855 deaths in Barre, an increase OF
FIVE over the preceding u months.
Consumption led the list with 80.
There were three suicides.
During the past year the Vermont

for each patient, however, increased
2O.1 weeks.
The banking facilities of the Glenn

The Famine In Seeds

MANY people win be surprised this
spring. when they receive their seeo
catalogues, to note the high prices
which they must pay for garden OF
flower seeds. For there is yerita
BILE seed famine. AT no time since
the Civil war have prices been Sc
high. Peas, for instance, which usu
ally bring SO a bushel in England
are now quoted at SIS. Carrot seed
which usually sells for 20 cents
quart, now sells at 81 in England. Oh
beet seed there was no crop last year
Grass seed sells at three times the
usual price. And so it is through the
whole list. In fact, the scarcity OF
seeds has been such that many grow
ers are selling their seed stock rath
er than plant and run the risk OF crop
failure.
High prices of seeds. however, can
not be charged up to any combination
of dealers. The shortage OF the
crops has been due to a succession OF
floods and droughts in the last six
or seven years. And even where
seed raisers have been fortunate
enough to escape these, there mas
been for some unaccountable reason,
failure in the crop. The gardener
who grows peas expects to get many
times the number Of peas he plants
The seed grower, who sows peas
broadcast, expects to get some seven
times his sowing. Yet last year the
seed grower as a rule, got only three
times his crop, and many Of the
growers of beet seed did not even get
their seed back.
This is one of the cases where the
consumer can do nothing about it. He
cannot seek relief in the courts OF
appeal to the legislature. Nature
: makes her own laws and can amend
them at her pleasure. To the subur
ban dweller, who buys his seed al
10 cents packet, the burden will moi
be heavy. He will simply pay the
same price for fewer seeds To the
large grower the difference in price
means something, but all he can do
under present conditions, Is to grin
and bear it.-Boston Transcript

sometimes to towns smaller than
ours. The rising cost Of living bears
as hardly on teachers as on any other
class. Their income is at least not
liberal, and they have to confront
higher prices for board and other on

to reward efficiency, and keep teach

lesson in Home Patronage

The greatest evil which confronts
the retail merchant today, is the i'm
mense business which is being done
by the mail order house. Mail order
business violates substantially all the
laws of commerce, and is an unnat-
ural and unsatisfactory method of
buying. The contention OF the mail
order house, is low price. and the
mail order patron piles up fictitious
savings on the same claim. But this
sometimes is one of the many that
will not stand the test of analysis.
The following instance is typical of
the mail order business:
Down in Oklahoma the other day
man went into a store to buy a
saw. He saw the kind he wanted
and asked the price. 1t was s1.65 the
dealer said
Good gracious" said the man. 81
can get the same thing from Sears,
Roebuck & Co.. for $l35."
That's less than it cost me-" said
the dealer, but I'll sell 1t on the
same terms as the mail order house
just the same"
"All right" said the customer
"You can send it along and charge ii
to my account"
Not on your life" the dealer re
piled. NO charge accounts You
cant do business with the mail order
house that way. Fork over the
cash"
The customer compiled.
Now two cents for postage and
five cents for a money order"
"What--"
Certainly you have to send a let
ter and a money order to mail or
der house, you know"
The customer inwardly ravlng kept
to his agreement and paid the nickel
Now 20 cents expressage."
We'll. | be" he said, but
paid it, saying Now hand me that
saw and I'll take it home myself and
be rid Of this foolery."
Hand II to you? Where do you
think you are? You're in Oklahoma
and I'm in Chicago. and you'll have
TO wait two weeks for that saw"
Whereupon the dealer hung the
saw on peg and put the money IN
his cash drawer.
THAT makes s1.67 he said. III
has cost you two cents more and Ia
ken You two weeks longer to get il
than IL you had paid my price in the
first place"
Another and quite as consequential
a phase Of the problem is this: How
much does the mail order house con
tribute by taxation or otherwise L
