Happy humanity may always be found at band concert. It's form or diversion that hits various people in various ways. mother can take her baby and a fellow his girl. If the in fant yells, the music will drown it out. This isn't true of the theatre or a concert. And if the young man is tongue-tied-as some afe-the music fills in the gaps between times.

Swahn. the Young artist stood up and played through the Star Spangled Ban ner without a flaw in tone or time. The band itself had excellently diversified numbers, all of which were good and some especially popular. Such were the excerpts from the Prince of Pill sen. and the Poet and Peasant over ture.

RIVALRY IN AUTOMOBILES
 FOR sToRRS TRIP
Norwich and New London Will Vie to
 Contribute the Most.

Enthusiastic participation on the part of New London merchants and business men generally in the auto mobile trip to Storrs Agricultural col lege next Wednesday under the aus pices of the County Improvement league is expected by County Agent Murray D. Lincoln. he said Friday eve ming since he has succeeded in over coming one obstacle which stood in their way. This was the poor condt ton of Mohegan avenue.
 The New London people told him they would be more interested in join ing in the trip if he could get Mohe- gan avenue fixed before the time they had to travel over it, so he went to Alderman Miner, explained the situa- ton to him and the alderman obliging- ly has had Mohegan avenue put in shape. The alderman also said he would see what could be done about holding Williams street open for the automobilists on that day and he thought 1t very likely it could be ar tomobilists this road clear to reach Norwich on Wednesday.
 With the New London automobilists entering into the plan heartily as they have it will now be up to the Norwich men to see that the New London mer- chimes to make up the parade of 100 than we do. Thescoming trip has been heard of all over New England and all eyes are on 1t to see if 1t will be possible for the county league to make up the quota which has been set as the goal and beat out the record of S6 machines made in a. western town for a similar occasion.
 The matter of decorating machines has been brought up by some who are going and while no systematic ar engagement will be attempted about this, any decorated machine will be a welcome addition to the line.
 In the programme that has been prepared at Storrs is livestock pa rade and talks by number of the professors that will be full of interest.

Commercial Bulletin which treated of the reasons for the rise in the price of -four and put a large part of the blame on the consumers themselves. The sugar situation was much the same, he said. The consumers have got excited. the editorial said. and have bought flour for months ahead catch ing the dealers when their flour stocks were low as this happens to be the end of the flour season and the retail flour stocks have been allowed to run down because of the big new crop which was anticipated The sudden and big demand on the part of the consumers has used up the stocks of flour and sent up the price.
 It was much the same way with the knew of one private family of three or four persons who have laid in stock of 200 or 300 pounds of sugar. Other families who usually bought by the bag have bought by the barrel. Long before they will use this up, he predicted, they will be buying sugar at. much less than they have paid for this supply about which they feel so well pleased with themselves in hav- ing laid it away safely.
 Beans and Spices.
 Beans and spices were other connmo- dities on which there were considerable advances this week.
 III lllC OdoC Ol DCdIS Ou WnlCh lle price has advanced about a third, the advance was more legitimate, the Nor wich dealer thought. than with four and sugar. White beans which have ranged from s2.2o to $40 per bushel have gone up to s250 to $3.55 and cclored beans from about $3.25 to $40 to $4.5o. About one-half to two thirds of our supply of beans has come from Austria and Germany and it is the end of the season for our farmers The new beans will not be in for about two months so that with the foreign supply cut off there is an actual scar city.
 Spices coming from the East Indies have gone up from to , cents, large ly because of the withdrawal of ship ping and the rise of insurance rates for such cargoes as are shipped. Cream | of tartar which comes, mostly from l France and was 30 cents per pound is l now stiff at A cents and none to be had or promised.
