DOLLARS AND SENSE.

| Dollars count. Without them we
cannot procure food to eat, clothes to
wear or a roof to shelter us.
Dollars by themselves, however. are
worth mighty little. even in the mart
of trade; for mere money. unaccom-
panied by a distributing agent. is as
valueless as would be a work Of art
covered with burlap and stored in
cellar.
Men of mark, taking them as they
run. and barring the few who are only
financially successful, have something
besides money, have done something
which money cannot do. They owe
their regulations in business, and out
of it, not wholly to the fact that they
are financially rich or commercially
influential.
Dollars without sense are as badly
off as would be sense without dollars
to provide for it's wants.
The power of money. great as it is.
is not vested wholly in money itself.
Its value is dependent upon what ac-
companies 1t.
The miser, even though his store
house is filed with ready cash, has no
standing in the community and Is not
on good terms even with himself. He
has accumulated, but he has not dis
| tributed. He has made money and
done nothing else.
Good sense, common sense, is worth
more than money. even assuming that
money can be obtained without it.
The man of sense stands higher ev-
erywhere than does the ian of dol
lars.
Common sense is to be priced above
all financial riches. With it all things
are possible. ithout it nothing
worth while can be accomplished.
Men today are reckoned by their
sense, not by their dollars. Their
positions in business. in the profess
sions, in the community. are depend
ent upon the amount Of common sense
| they possess. with or without accom-
| panying money.
Don't imagine. young man, that the
mere accumulation of money Is going
to give you any position of which you
may be proud, even among men OF
money.
When men die they leave only one
heritage which is remembered. and
that is what they have done for the
benefit of humanity. whether or not
this good has been accomplished by
willing money to schools. libraries.
and charities, or is obtained because
they left behind them an example
worthy to be followed.
Remember that a draft drawn on
the Bank of Earth is not payable at
the Bank of Heaven.
II you would have your money do
you and others any good, mix sense
with it.
II you would have your business Of
benefit to you and to your community.
or to those who labor under you. use
sense in conducting 1t.
Sense has a value in every market
Dollars are not good everywhere.
Sense and gumption are marketable
commodities. without them the rich
est money man is poor indeed.
Money is worth having. Without it
we cannot eat or live; but lonesome
money is barren as a desert plain.
BY itself alone it cannot sow or har-
vest. 1t is a drag which prevents the
rudder of the Ship of Life from max
ing straight course.
A diet of dollars results In mental
starvation Sense Is the food which
nourishes both the mind and the body.
Get sense first, and money after

 If possible, the teacher should have the assistance of an expert gardener so that the work may be done in the most practical and profitable way. The teacher and gardener should help the children find the plots of ground near their homes best suited for garden work. aid them by some co-operatiye method in having the lots properly piCWed and prepared for cultivation, help them select seed and show them how to plant, cultivate and harvest 60 as to obtain the best results.

STRIKERS STILL HOLD
 OUT FOR DEMANDS.
But State They Are Willing to Work
 at Old Rate For Three Months.

Marking time was the order of Wednesday morning in the laborers' strike at New London The weather was such that outdoor operations were impossible and whatever the attitude of the strikers might have been, there was no opportunity to return to work had they desired to. The highway de- partment had a full complement of workers on hand but because of the downpour only the ash collectors were sent out.
 The situation remains unchanged, the contractors refusing to consider the concession offered by the union members and the latter insisting they vii remain out indefinitely. The opinion continues to prevail. however that the controversy is nearing an en dand that it is only a question of days when a majority of the strikers will be back on the job.
 Wednesday morning Mayor Rogers granted a conference to Representa- tive D. F. Foley of the International union and officials of the local organ ization. The delegation reiterated the proposition to give employers three months notice returning to work at the present schedule, with the understanding that at the end of the period the strikers shall be guar anteed an eight-hour day at S2.25. The callers asked Mayor Rogers to place the proposal before the contractors once more and he acquiesced, al- though skeptica1 of it's producing any results
 The state police and extra pa trolmen still continue on duty but there was no disorder today requiring their services. The preparedness poll icy will be maintained, nevertheless until norfna1 conditions have been re- stored. The union claims that none of it's members has returned to work and the contentin seems to be SUD- ported by the facts, since those who have returned are not actively affi1- lated with Reorganization.
 Frequent meetings of the strikers are held at headquarters in the Dart building but no disturbances have oc- cured outside, however heated the indoor sessions may have been

CAN'T GET OIL
 FOR STATE ROADS.
Freight Congestion Responsible For Dusty Roads All Over Connecticut.

There has been much dissatisfac- ton expressed in all parts of the state over the dusty condition of the state roads. These roads are generally oiled at this time of the year, but as yet very little oiling has been done on any of the roads.
 It has been reported that the state would not oil the roads this year T1s- cause of the high price of oil, but Highway Commissioner Charles Ben- nett says that this was not so.
 F5N said that in March and April between 75 and 30 carloads of oil had been ordered and that none of this had yet been delivered. due to the congested> freight condition of the New Haven road. The road. he said. was doing all it could to get this oil through and the highway department was also putting forth every effort to get the oil into the state.
 When asked if any of the state roads had been oiled, Commissioner Bennett said that 12 carloads of oil had been put on roads in the sec tions around Clinton and Hartford and Winsted and that the other roads would be oiled as soon as the oil was received.
 New Haven will not use outside oil for it's streets this summer, but will use gas oil. obtained at the plant of the New Haven Gas Light Co. The department of public works adver- tised for bids for oil for the streets but they were all so high that it was deemed best to throw them out and use the local product.
