T never took a prize at a beauty show" confessed the young man. New let's get back to our statistics. l sup pose your ideal man is terribly rich and could shower automobiles and diamonds upon you with one hand while he wrote cheeks with the other!
 I'm sorry you have such poor Its all right to have enough money to pay the grocery bills and buy decent clothes, but l never yearned for great wealth 1 think rich men are likely to be awfuIly selfish and frivolous or self -eentered and peevish. They don t have time to pay attention to their families and they drift away from their wives and get divorces-not any of that for mel No, I think people are lots happier when they have a modest income and live within it"
 You certainly are wonder? de- clared the young man. admir1ngiy never knew any other girl with so much sense But I suppose you'd ex- pect the man you marry at least to own his own home and be able to give you an allowance
 Half the fun Is working and saw ing together for a home" said the young woman. "A girl likes to help the right sort of man
 What is the right sort of man ?' inquired her caller, eagerly.
 She smiled little, looked airiiy over his head and then met his gaze. Why she said T suppose the right sort of man is the one the girl happens to be in love with,''
 That sounds plausible the young man said. "I think you've made very valuable contribution to my statistics, and I'm greatly obliged to you. More than that, it makes me happy to find that you care enough about me to mar ry me-
 My goodness." shrfeked the young woman. T never said one single word-''
 I'd like to know why not:' he in- sisted. You said that your ideal man was not good looking and had only a moderate income and didn't own his own home and if that doesn't lit me Til eat my hat. You'll never find any one else so nearly meeting that des- cription, so you'd better grab me quick, Honest. won't I do?',
 You are perfectly ridiculeus! de- c4ared the young woman, in confusion. Dc do you really mean it. Dare me to marry you, and see! cried the young man. joyously.-Ch1- cago News.

-ET,TERS TO THE EDITOR.
What Farmers Must Learn.

Mir. Editor: Farm and Home asks the question: Why don't the news does. to reform finance, forestall the water power trust and insure the peo- p1e's rights in other matters? Part ly because their business is to sell peoples cause And probably the other partly is because they don't know exactly what to do. Just now a great deal of interest is taken in agricultural papers. Even the rail road people are running trains around among the farmers, trying to induce them to produce more. Anyone might think the farmers are pretty ig- norant set of chaps and doubt this is so in some things. The farmers may be likened to the boy that went to mill, and the miller asked him if he went to school. Yes sir" said tie boy. What do you know g said the miller. Some things I know, and some I don't Well, what do you know ?'' T know that mfllers have fat hogs" Well, sir. what is it you don't know ?" said the miller. T don't know whose corn he fats them on.' The farmers are beginning to know that they are getting only about 40 cents. of the dollar the consumer pays for the product What the~ don't know is who gets the 60 cents The wage work CTS, the iaboring class, the wealth producers are on par and can be classed with the farmers. The rail- road experts do not tell the farmers for their products, if they produce twice as much. As matter of sta tistics the farmers and laborers get only 40 per cent on the dollar that bic their product, they may get 80 cents of what the consumers pay $2.00 for. The per cent. is the same, for 40 per cent. of $2.0o is so cents. But there is another way to figure this question of per cent. and that is what the farmers and labor unions haven't studied very thoroughly. Some person buys the farmers product for 40 cents, and sells 1t to the consumer for $1. %, thus making 150 per cent On the the product of a mechanic for 40 cents and sell il to the consumer Ga farmer IL may be a blow a hoe. or any farm implemeaD. for $1.00 the percent is the same, 15G per cent. The two trans actions amount to 300 per cent. Bear in mind the 40 cents on the dollar does not change the per cent whether it be a thousand bushels of wheat, pro duced by the farmer, or whether it is a carload of blows. hoes, etc. Between the two transactions. between the pro ducers and consumers. somebody, somehow. is getting soc per cent. pro- ht(") This the farmers, and produc- CTS have got to learn. in order to get relief and 1 might add that the icon- sumers have got the same lesson to learn how this is done for 1t is an undisputed fact that all producers are consumers. while all consumers are ing wealth. There is 8 wide ditch between producing wealth and accu- mulating wealth. and this ditch is 300 per cent. wide. Learn first who has the fiat hogs

THE NEW LONDON BILL.

For the second time this session it has required the house to set the ex- ample for the senate on measures which have been of vital interest to the state It was good, sound sober judgment which the house used in dis posing of the bill which called for the repeal of the New London harbor ap- propriation- Any other action would have been an everlasting discredit to the general assembly and a blow at the efforts to put Connecticut in 8 po- sition to take advantage of commerce coming to New England, in common with the other states. With the other states making provision by the appro- priation of millions of dollars for har- bor improvement Connecticut would have presented sad spectacle to have turned down the proposition which of fers so many advantages.
 The action which the house took de served to have been taken by the sen ate. the bill having been conceived and pushed as political lever to ac- complish other legislation. It was in tended to operate against Congress- man Mahan because of his activities in the highway conmissionership mat ter, and under the plea of economy Senator McNeil was willing to jeap- ordize not only the interests of the eastern half of the state, but of all of Connecticut. Incidentally the de- feat of the proposed repeal and its burden carrying amendment means second victory for Mahan and as Rep resentative Magee pointed out with telling effect it means the letting in of a business opportunity for increasing the value of the state. and it matters not whether If be at New London or Salisbury, except that New London in this instance is the one available nlace

For the first time in a very long period there has been a recession in the building trades of New England the past week. Instead of reporting an advance in the total amount rep resented in building contracts, the re- port received at this office from Boston shows that the total of contracts from January 1 to the present time is over s2.000,00G less than the total for the corresponding period of last year. The reason? We cannot tell. The weather has been favorable for building opera tions. There have been no serious la bor troubles. Possibly it lies in lack of confidence, and possibly it comes from high money rates.-Ansonia Sen tinel

aTHER VIEW POINTS

If the present Chinese government were officially recognized by the United States, it would be an evidence of friendliness that would remove all sus- ticipation in the Ioan.-Bridgeport Standard.
 There is something almost con- soling in the thought of adding the whipping post to a prison sentence for white slavers and seducers. It is about the only argument to which they are likely to prove susceptible that of brute force and whip. Waterbury Republican.
 Those who follow the I.anders ex- ample in the Corbin case will accom- pHsh an equal public service and this time by acting with their governor cratic caucus which last week decided against Corbin made no pretense of acting in the public interest-New London Telegraph.
 The fear that President Wilson will appoint pure scientists without the executive faculty to some important place like the weather bureau and the bureau of fisheries is premature at least. He ought to know that a good executive mind to run a bureau and obtain scientific service for the tech nical matters brings the best results. Waterbury American.
 It is a grim vindictiveness not in accordance with the usual ways of sweet and kindly nature which is driv- ing one deadly storm after another across the west and south and south west. There is a meteorological req son for these disturbances, but it is not one within the control of man. For once human mistake has no influence in the cause.-New Haven Register.
 What the talking machine and the player-piano are doing for music the camera is accomplishing in another field of art this useful mechano- chem ical instrument can become a delight ful medium of artistic expression in the hands of anyone with good taste; and again it is true that the camera, instead of lowering artistic standards, leads but to the study and apprecia- ton of the great art works and old masters.-B Telegram.
 The opponents of woman suffrage are going about their work with a dig nifty and a delibefation which will have good effect in contrast to the spec tacuiar exhibitions of the more emo tionai wing of the suffrage army. Their action in this instance. and in the leg islative hearings at Hartford and in other state capitals. promises to bring the question down to the point of de- liberate consideration rather than an emotional and frenzied demand.-New Britain Herald.
 Ice Is a necessary sort of thing. The poor need 1t at low prices particularly the poor who keeps on having babies. We are going to be short of ice this year and we are going to pay well for fl. And appar- ent1y we could always be assured of ice of immaculate purity and in abun- dant quantities at low prices if only omebody-individu;s corporations or govern1nents-w would provide the arti- f1ccial plants What is the answer. .
