preach thrift until bankers practice
honesty.
Fortunately for these tots, the
bump came before it is too late for
them to begin again, though there
were many old men and women who
lost their life savings and who are
too feeble to start anew. 1t will be

IT'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
longtime champion of the masses
and as near a union workman as
fellow can be and not actually carry
bod or WELD a hammer, begs the
British labor unions to save the coun-
try by permitting women to work in
the war munitions shops.
The British lion is down on his
knees begging labor unions to permit
women to work! One way or anoth7,
er, it is a demonstration such as this
world has never before seen.
The kaiser has started things that
no power on earth can stop, among
other things the demonstration that
the people and not royalty have the
power. Governments are going to be
born anew, and with the consent of
the governed.

RAISES SOME OF THE DEAD

They say that some charitable ladies
of Houston recently visited bereav-
ed woman and gave. her $25 to pay
her husbands burial expenses. The
money was in silver coins and dollar
bills. One of these angels of mercy
found after she left the house that
she had dropped one of her gloves.
She returned to get it and upon open
ing the door she beheld the corpse
sitting up counting the money. Can
you beat it?-Houston Paper.
Nothing particularly remarkable
about this. twenty-five dollars in
spot cash would bring many corpse
to life these days.

 The teachers are now in town ready for the opening. Principal Judd has secured the permission of the health officer to remain in South ington. He has promised to keep away from public gatherings and to remain in that town. MT. Judd will be here Friday to meet with the teachers, a number of whom are new corners to Plainville.
 The board has made no arrange n1ent for paying the teachers for this week. Principal Judd's staff is en- ployed by the year and the salaries are placed on an annual basis. Rev. R H. Burton, the chairman, said to- day that no difficulty is expected in making a compensation arrangement that will be mutually satisfactory. Negro Bad Man Arrested.
 John Gilyard, husky negro who believes that he is a real bad man and a terror to the police, was bound over to the superior court yesterday after noon as a common drunkard, Justice A. H. Condel1 before whom he was arraigned finding probable cause in his case.
 Gilyard spends most of his time around the street corners. His wife, who is a cripple, has had hard time with him, as beating her seems to be one of his favorite pastimes. Yesterday Constable Marine, learn ing that Gilyard was drunk in South lngton. went to that town and on a, pretext got him to accompany him to Plainville, where he placed him under arrest.

 Gypsies Attract Attention.
 A band of gypsies has camped near the fair grounds and is extracting considerable attention. The band travels in large wagons which have been constructed so that they resemble miniature houses on wheels. The women are dressed in gaudy colors and approach many visitors going to- wards the grounds asking to tell their fortunes.
 Many Minor Collisions Reported.
 Many minor collisions of vehicles bound towards the fair grounds have been reported within the past few days. Traffic has been very heavy, a constant stream of autom obiles being always visible on the road. A heavy fog settled over this town last night and combined with the dust of the roads and the smoke from the fire works at the fair, many miracu Nus escapes from collisions have been re- ported. Traffic officers direct the ve- hicles at the entrance to the grounds on Pennington road and have been successful in keeping the machines in line and avoiding striking passengers as they alight from the trolleys.

TEACHING THRIFT THROUGH TRASH
Plan for School Children to Earn Pocket Money By
 Pooling the Family Rags and Paper
(Exclusive Service The Survey Prcss)

z Now that school children through out the country are enjoying their long vacation, and parents are better able than ever to see the many ex- cellent uses to which childish hands and childish enthusiasms can be put, the time seems ripe to consider a sug- gestion that has been made by Min neapolis business man as to "how the public schools can prevent public waste" The suggestion is based on the idea that the American people are among the most wasteful of all na- tions, and that the only hope of chang ing this is to bring up children to a realization of our economic weakness.
 Penny SavingS Banks
 Now that the penny savings banks arc so well established in many pub lie echools,'' writes Walter Henry Huh. the originator of the idea, to The Survey. "it seems that the Ameri- can educators should take another step that will teach greater thrift and less waste to the American school children. This step would be the es- ltablishment at public schools of de- lpots where valuable materials now iclassed by most of us as waste ma terials could be assembled and the value of each particular item brought In by the child to be credited to his or her savings bank account

ENGLAND's FIRST DEMOCRAT


 The first real democrat in England was Simon de Montfort. Earl of Lei cester, who was slain in battle 651 years ago today. Aug. 4. 1865: As the leader of the rebellious barons, Si- mon de Montfort was also the spokes- man for the great masses of the peo- pie, and he held that it was the duty of the nobles to stand between the people and the monarch as guardians of their liberties, to watch over the exercise of the royal power and pre- vent its abuse. In the great battle of Lewes in 1264 the barons, under the command of de Montfort, com p1etely defeated the king and the roy alist party. In the battle of Evesham on Aug. 4th of the following year the tables were turned, and the democrat ic Earl was killed and the barons sus- tained a ruinous defeat. During the brief period of Simon's ascendancy. however, he had laid the foundation for the House of Commons and had inspired in the breasts of the people sa devotion to liberty and democracy never to be stamped out by royal op- pressors. Every king Is ruled by the laws" declared Simon de Montfort, and he held that ''the generality" should have hand in the making of the laws by which they, as we'll as the monarch, were to be governed.

materials of great value in the ag- gregate but of little value in small quantities. In fact the housekeeper considers them of such little value that when the junk man calls he is that would interest him.
 'Is there any class better fitted to collect waste materials and preserve valuable items such as iron, glass; pa- per, rags, wood. rubber and innumer- able other commodities than the school children? In every home one goes into, there, are piles of old news papers and magazines, old rubbers and shoes, woolen, silk and cotton rags, bottles and other discarded glassware, pieces of old copper, iron, zinc and other metals, all of which are extremely valuable at present on account of the war.
 War Time Prices
 Since the war, some rags have gone up 500 per cent. in value Wool en rags are almost worth their weight in gold and bring more than raw wool. With crude rubber at $1 a pound and all the warning nations gobbling every ounce they can seize or buy, no wonder there is steady demand for old garden hose, rubbers, tires. artics, tubes. wringers,, etc. Prices in these discards of life fluc- tuate daily, just as do stocks and bonds.
 Rags that brought four cents a
