the wild excuses which have lately
been INDUCED in; SO that those who
do not take heed will have them
selves TO blame These are not
times for getting deeply into debt,
but rather for pursuing a cautious
policy IN all operations entering in
20 the future
Outlook Uncertain
The imm ediate outlook for the
stock market Is uncertain. Our rail-
reads. our mills and our merchants
are all busily employed. Material
prosperity is evident on every hand.
Labor Is getting its share and de-
manding more. Concessions have
been given 10 coal workers and no
strike is expected. but consumers
will probably have 20 pay the in
crease. Railroad labor is making
very serious demands upon the COM
panies. which If not materially mod
Grated will lead 10 serious trouble.
The transportation lines are only
just emerging out o. a long period
Of almost ruinous conditions. and
the capital needed for development
viii not be forthcoming unless the
roads are enabled TO earn a fair re-
turn on the necessary investments.
In common fairness, If the govern
ment is going 10 put restraints upon
the compe MES earnings. ii will also
have TO protect those earnings
against some of the demands made
by Overaggressive and unreasonable
labor leaders.
The chief factors of depression in
the market for the time being are
the crises in our relations with Ger
many and Mexico. The former ap-
pears to have again reached an in
fiammatory stage. the outcome of
which is beyond human foresight at
this time. The Mexican affair is less
grave. but may be the cause of much
pernicious political activity. The
presidential campaign. though over
Swallowed by the war, is running
under full Roadway, and the efforts
70 excite public opinion and secure
votes by interruptions politicians
seem quite likely to complicate an
already highly sensitive and dan
gerous situation. These are times,
not for stirring up friction, but for
cool and straight thinking by citizens
and representatives alike.
Important French and British
loans are pending which will be a
factor in the general market For
eign securities are coming this way
in considerable volume, and this
movement tends to temporarily ex-
press values. There is a fair de-
mand for high grade bonds which
are relatively firm.

COOP STORES EVERYWHERE
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-05-22
Who Are YOU For?

Of course you are for yourself. All of us are for ourselves.
 We do that which is easiest-which gives us the greatest personal satisfaction whether it is sacrificing our lives to others or trying to grab everything in sight for our individual use. We follow the line of least resistance.
 Being for one's self means nothing or everything. The real test is how intelligent we are in deciding what we want and how successful we are in getting it.
 Gan Bridgeport give you what you want?
 If it can't the best thing for you to do is to go away from here. You are wasting time and interfering with better men who will make you pay for it in the end.
 The floater who rides in the Pullman probably is no more useful than the floater who rides on the trucks underneath.

MISSIONARIES ARE =, ELIMINATING CASTE
 SYSTEM IN INDIA

The teaching of American mission aries is rapidly eliminating the caste system among the Hindus, according to Rev. William Ranney. The latter 1ectured on Hinduism to large congregation at the United Congrega- tiona1 church last evening. He said the missionaries first gained their con fdence of the natives in India by at tending to- their physical needs. He said more than 100 hospitals are main tained in India by American sub- scription. The most expert surgical and medical treatm is furnished the natives free of charge. The mis- sfonaries have established many schools. Many of the schools are for native women where they are taught Christian religion, better methods of cooking, sanitation and hygiene. The speaker said the first steam laundry in India was established by an Amer ican missionary The lecture was il- frustrated with a, number of handsome streopticon views of American mis- sioanry institutions, teachers, na- tiVeS, etc.

B. H. s. FRESHMAN
 GIRLS PLAY BALL

The girls of Divisions s and T, freshman classes of Room 12O, held a, picnic Saturday at Beardsley park, under the direction of Miss M. H. Plaisted. Many events of interest took place, including an exciting three-1egged race in which the Misses Rome and Lambert were the winning pair. The feature of the day was a
 baseball game between the young wo- men of Sections s and T. The stellar attractions were the twirling of Miss Mccarthy, and the timely hitting of Miss Gallagher. The game ended in a victory for Division T. These girls defeated ths opposing nine to the tune of 25 to 1T. Rival cheering squads un- der the leadership of the Misses Plais- ted also brought forth much applause from the spectators. The batteries for Division T were the Misses Mccarthy and Anderson; for Section $. Miss Ford pitched a line game, while Miss Crehan ably took care of home plate.

VERDUN BATTLE,
 IN 4TH MONTH,
 RACES FIERCELY

l Paris, May 22-The battle of Ver- dun, the longest and most bitterly contested individual struggle of the day. The Germans, with characters tic patience and stubbornness, are hammering away at Dead Man Hill where the most furious and pIoody
 fighting of the three months conhlct has taken place. Clinging desperately to the trenches that they have Wresteo from the French on the lower slopes of the hill, the Teutons hurled oV'OoO men, backed by 50 batteries of guns mile front from Avocourt Wood to the Mouse in a desperate effort to selze the coveted summit.
 As has been usual in this war when either side launched a well-prepareo and strongly delivered offensive the Germans have succeeded in gaining footing in the French line at cost Of severe losses. However, judging from the experience of the past it will not be a difficult task for the French to disIodge them before they are able to follow up their advantage. Both sides will then return to their former posi- tions to await another offensive.
 That the Germans must continue their tremendous onslaught on Dead Man Hill or abandon the idea of talk ing Verdun seems obvious. This blood soaked summit and it's sister emi nence, Hill No. 304, form the key of the whole system of Verdun's de- lenses. The fire from their batteries Hanks the Douaumont Plateau across the river. Without the undisputed possession of this plateaus military critics agree that no attack on Yer dun has any chance of success.

The man who keeps going ahead is the man who stays on the job whether he is thS president or the day laborer, the owner or the clerk who makes his work and himself worth more and sees that he gets better pay for it.
 Nobody knows for sure just what Bridgeport can give us because no one has worked out the possibilities. No one can know until we get things to going as they should go. e* a [ We can't get them going until every one in Bridgeport decides who he is for, whether he is for the city and himself, or against it and his own welfare
 The problem is too complicated, the job too big for any group of men or class of men to solve. We must all get together on this proposition.
 Just now isn't it enough if you are for good homes, good streets, good schools, good amusements and good people,,
 Are you for city with good work CTS, who are sure of good work, good wages, good hours?
