cally on a parity with Chicago. the only difference in the mar kets being that buyers fight harder at Chicago, and delay weighing, while sales are are made early at Kansas City, and cattle weighed with all rheir fill. Prime cows bring $7.50, and heifers are quotable up to $9. 50, bulls $7. veals S10, with rather a small spread from these prices downward in each class. Sales men say that prime steers should be bringing a dollar more per hundred, according to the way inferior cattle are selling. On this theory heavy feeders have taken on mild boom. numerous sales recently around $8. and one lot to-day at $8. 35, for 60 day feed. Best stockers bring $8. redium grades $6.75 to $7.50, best strong to- day, others steady. Good cake fed steers from North Texas sold up to $8. .85 to-day, highest price ever paid here for quarantine cattle and bulk of the good quarantine steers sell at $7.75 to $8. 35. good grass steers ST. to S8. medium and cheap steers $5.75 to $6.75, these prices considered steady to a shade lower than late last week.
 Sheep and lambs are irregular. although small receipts are a strong feature. Spring lambs of second grade have been bring ing $9 recently. but stopped at S8. 90 to-day, yearlings $7, heavy wethers $5. 50. light wethers S6, ewes largely at $4.75. choice light ewes worth $5, breeding ewes S5 to $5.75, feeding lambs S6. .25 to S5.75. Prospects favor light supplies here for another month.

WOODEN BRIDGES OBsOLETE

Evidence continues to accumulate that many of the bridges throughout the state are unable to stand the weight of the heavy trucks which have come into use of late. There have been three instances in Berlin where a bridge has given way under the heavy weight. This has long been expected, and 1t is quite natural that it should be so. Cities are protesting against the use of heavy trucks on permanent pavement, and as their routes throughout the state take them through various towns, bridges are crossed that have been built for years, are unable to stand the weight, and in the end the trucks go through them with a crash. It is really necessary that every town should make careful examination of these structures, as- certain their condition and if not safe to take some action to make them safe.
 The plank bridge has outlived it's usefulness in Connecticut, and there are many of them, not perhaps on the main highways, but along well tray- elled roadways, and the towns may yet be asked to pay sum for repairs and damages that will equal in cost almost what it would require to build new bridge. The wooden bridge is no longer equal to the demands that are being made upon it.

 The reporters are being obliged to take officials and others into d corner far from the war maps, tell them things are bad and by cajolery induce them to stir up their memory, to take one more look a<'ound the office and see if they cannot give up something to make it worth while for him to re- turn to the office and convince the city editor that he Is on the job. The most difficult task the reporter has is looking for news: the writing part is easy. If he Is noticed these days as having far away look in his eye it should be rem bered that he has been meeting the various boards of strategy and that they were so busy with the war situation that they had no time for anything else.

The Double House.
Indianapolis News. )

The double house is a strange sf- fair. As an economical theory it Is reasonable, and as fact it is per- sistent. Nevertheless. it is a strange affair. The house is. in itself, strange Those of us who are possessed by the foolish mania for looking into new houses have been impressed with the strangeness of the empty double. with its Alice-Through- the Looking Glass sort of arrangement. Twin fireplaces stand back to back. Twin stairways climb up opposite walls. There are twin pantries twin sinks and so on through the house to the twin clothes posts in the back yard, the twin coal bins in the basement, twin closets and twin bath tubs up stairs and twin cubby holes in the at tic.
 A double house Is ridiculous in it's likenesses when it is empty, but it is pathetic in it's differences when it is occupied. One side is polished and scrubbed and cared for. while the twin side, which started out just bravely, is neglected and disreputa ble. One side is brimming over with fun and the other side Is brimming over with trouble. It is d part of the strangeness of the double house that the two families living in it are so close together that they remain far apart, even when they sit on the same porch and sprinkle different parts of the same lawn.
 Another strange thing about the double house is its popularity. Soon- CT or later almost everybody is per suaded or compelled to live in one. There are double houses everywhere, from the $10 to the $10O neighbor- hood, and if we do not want to buy a house or live in flat we rent Il double. Perhaps the thing strangest about a double house is its self assur- ance. It springs up with the buoy ancv and abandon of the dandelion, never asking whether or not 1t is wanted Indeed, it is so secure in it's egotism that 1t never occurs to 1t that everybody is not glad to see it. It is difficult to understand just what Il double is so proud of unless 1t is like some people and takes pleasure in being peculiar, but, whether there Is a reason or not double houses are proud and socially ambitious. They flock to the corners in the vicinity of big houses and they hover about

No Fighting Here" Chicago Herald.)

Many thousands of Americans of European birth or extraction are deeply stirred by the wars begun or threatened across the Atlantic. Their emotions are natural. Their brothers in race and in blood are fighting and dying Their hearts are hot-their hands stretch out-to help their brothers.
 But we must have no fighting here.
 The appalling calamity which has come upon Europe through the mad ness of monarchs--through the in- sanity of statesmen-is in many ways our calamity. The very great major ity of us are not of the European races. With the old lands across the sea We have all sorts of ties-of tra- dition, of emembrance-of recent migration and actual kinship.
 But we are Americans and this is not our war.
 Our government has done all 1t could to avert this hellish strife. As q nation we view ii with profound sorrow. We will be called upon to aid it's victims. We should be ready to do all we can. But as a nation we can have neither friends nor foes in Europe now. Our government will rightly maintain an attitude of strict neutrality.
 It is the duty of all personally to be neutral
 Already there have been unpleas- ant incidents of Expenditures of that duty. Americans have spoken words provocative to other Ameri- cans: partisan badges have been donned acts of insult have been com mitted upon national ensigns.
 Let there be no more of this.
 Such demonstrations violate our American faith. When we came to these shores we left Europe behind. Those who have renounced allegi- ance to the lands of their birth have sworn fidelity to the land of their choice.
 The first duty of us all is to Ameri- ca
 The transfer of Europe's quarrels to American soil is wrong and cannot be permitted. Public authority must be prompt to repress any such eN- cess. Whatever our racial sympa- thies, we must all remember now that l We are Americans first

DID THE PROGRESSIVES WANT
 ETSHERp
FISHER?

The Hartford Post says that over lures were made by the progressives to Professor Fisher before the Com bounce conference was held. and that he decided to remain in the demo- cratic organization and seek the nom- ination for governor. The Post thinks that If the progressives have Pro- lessor Fisher for the head of their ticket that they will stand good chance of winning and that if he is chosen by the democracy he will have double chance of winning. Just what a double chance Is is not quite clear. but 1t does not seem as if he could be elected on any ticket.
 Professor Fisher is an intelligent man, he understands government, particularly Connecticut government, but he isn't the kind of leader that people cotton to. and if his case can be judged by the general sentiment, he would be beaten. Whenever he speaks in public his audience Is made up largely of men who are socialists or who lean that way, but socialists will not support him for the reason that he is not a socialist in the sense that he Is member of that party, and socialists will not support a man who Is not member. His attir. tude is more like that of the men who used to demand a workingman's ticket and all know what that meant in the past. There Is no doubt. how ever, but that he Is in earnest, but one may we'll question the sincerity of some of those who are back of him. They never acquired a reputation for political sagacity or even regularity. A circular has been issued to every registered democrat in the state ask ing support for Professor Fisher. It is stated that if he is nominated it will be because of the interest of the rank and file. and financial contributions are respectfully solicited. Headquar- ters have been opened in Hartford and the campaign is we'll under way. There is no telling what the demo- cratic convention will do, but there isn't particle of evidence at present that 1t will nominate Professor Fisher for governor.

 Everyone grows tired of a persistent borrower, yet the number is ever in- easing. The borrower is usually persistent in failing to recognize the necessity of repaying the little obli- gations to others.
 The take it back" plan was de- vised to meet the evil. On a date an- nounced there is generous publicity given to the plan of returning what has been borrowed and kept. By making the idea public, by empha- sizing the necessity and importance of the act of returning borrowed ar ticles. the sense of personal obliga- ton is thereby deepened. Reports indicate that the idea has worked we'll
