 Hartford. division council.
 Commanders Report Favorable.
 In his report, Division Commander Harry c. Cooley said that the past years work left no question in his mind as to the desire of the Grand Army for the future growth and well fare of the Sons of Veterans.
 In reference to Memorial day and Union Defenders day, Commander Cooley pointed out that it has become more and more the duty of the or ganization to assume the responsibil- ity of the observance as the day is coming when the Grand Army will place it entirely upon the shoulders of the Sons. ...
 The membership of the organiza- tion by the March report was 1928, but additions since then have brought the total to 1860, net gain of 225 in twelve months. There are twenty one camps with a membership of less than fifty and thirty-one with less than seventy y-five.
 On the financial side the division has about the same balance as & year ago. ,..
 Several Recommendations Made.
 Commander Cooley's recommenda- tions were as follows: That the sending of a Christmas gift to the Sol diers Home at Noroton be made an annual custom.
 That the incoming commander in struct his counselor to use his best efforts to have camps adopt by-laws that will be in accord with the 1912 edition of the constitution and by laws.
 That the incoming commander ar range for the next division encamp- ment for the same time and place as the G. A. R. encampment.
 That where a camp of less than seventy-five members entertains the division that $25 be contributed, and that $10O be voted towards expenses of voting members of the division at the next national encampment.

FINANCIAL NEWS
MEXICAN CRISIS
 AFFECTS MARKET American Stocks in London Take
 a General Drop.

Wall Street, 10:45 a. m.-The mar het weakened at the opening today on the more serious aspect of the Mexi- can situation. Selling was not heavy, but support was poor. The decline was influenced by general drop of American stocks in London. While the movement was almost uniformly downward, in only a few cases did the less reach as much as g. point during the early trading. Mexican Petroleum fell more than three points and American Smelling, which also has large interests in Mexico, yielded about two points. Canadian Pacific, which has been conspicuously weak for some time, dropped to 194 1-4, the lowest in four years. Some issues of govern ment bonds were lower.
 Close The stock market today closed heavy. Prices weakened in the late session, after an early decline, in fiuence by the Mexican situation had been recovered. Net changes showed general fractional losses. American Smelling dropped over five points on the announcement that the company's plants in Mexico had shut down. The rest of the list weakened sympatheti- cally with some increase in pressure on Canadian Paciffc which fell to 193k.

JOE N G|NN|TY
SIGNS TWO
NEW ONES

Two new Tigers, college
pitcher from st. Louis, and IL first
baseman from Seattle, have been
signed by President j. j. McGin-
nifty, Or will be as soon as he can
send them contracts. The st.
Louis hoy is said to be a very
promising bowman.
The Iron Man is seriously con-
sidering the proposition of re-
moving West from the initial
sack to the outfield, and if this
is done a new first sacker will be
necessary.
There Is a probability that
three of the Bengals will be hold
outs. They have refused to sign
contracts unless granted a part
of the purchase price If they are
sold, or a part of the draft price
| If they go up that way.
President McGinnity will not
agree to this request, as he has
never countenanced such proceed
ure before, and has notified the
players to this effect.
Eddie Fries sent in his contract
yesterday, and wrote he was in
good shape.

THINKS STATE VARMINT
HUNTER IS DESIRABLE

That state varmint hunter be
appointed. for duty all the year
around, is the suggestion of Sena-
tor Arvid RydstrOm of this dis
trict. He thinks that the APP
pOintnent of such man would
be great thing for game all over
the state.
The way he outlines it, this
hunter would be paid a salary,
half by the state, and half by the
various counties he worked in.
OF course, it is not expected that
one man could cover the entire
length and breadth of Washing
ton, but it Is figured about three
of these state varmint hunters
would be plenty.
The hunter would make trips
to the different counties, remain
ing in each probably fortnight,
bunting varmint with dogs. There
would always be a number of To-
cal hunters ready to turn out and
help him in the various localities.
Pierce county is not likely to
have a varmint hunt this year.
Game Warden Ira d. Light Is not
in favor of holding these hunts
after the regular season closes,
because he believes it works a
detriment to the game.

DR.. H. d. Losey of the University OF
Alabama gave a scholarly and delight
full lecture Friday evening to the teach
ers of English and the visitors to the
jefferson County institute. He discussed
in a learned and thoughtful manner the
Importance of correct enunciation. the
value of reading phrases instead OF words,
of training pupils to remember groups and
to practice reading without putting the
eye upon the printing.
He read passages illustrating the adj
vantage of the latter instead of the for
mer method He urged teachers to insist
upon pupils studying for tone In litera-
ture especially in poetry.
TRAIN the pupil to forget self and put
expression into his reading he said His
lecture was delightfully."- illustrated by
readings from a number of American and
English poets.
Dr. Losey's comments were definite,
scholarly and put in simple and pleas
ing manner. The practical application
to modern methods of teaching were very
obvious, and can be applied to every day
problems of teaching and reading.
