The -four market in Owensboro
seems to be a sort OF rudderless mar
liner at sea- The millers are afraid
to buy wheat and the farmers are
afraid to sell, and the result is that
there is little doing in the wheat
market.

 Commencement.
 New Haven, June 16.-The com mencement season at Yale university in accord with the past. began today. But unlike commencement of various past occasions there was no program for the day. It has been customary on this day to throw out tho class banners. start up the music, announce the time for receptions and dinners, and as the alumni arrived, to make calls upon the university and depart ment officials and faculty members, and many other forms of amusement and entertainments.
 Today there was little semblance of Q commencement. Some of the re- union classes had banners out, but the advance guard of the alumni boys was small. There was no effort at display by the college section. Undergradu- ates have been training day and night, hundreds of them in khaki and ready for service.
 Tomorrow the b&ccalaureate ser mon will be delivered by President T. Hadley in Woolsey hall. Next week the program will closely fc How prece- dent.

TREATING ORPHANS
 AS HUMAN BEINGS
Monotonous Uniform, Haircut and odor of Cabbage Conspicuous by
 Absence From Childre1rs Home.

(Contfibuted.)
 You should hear the little tots at tho Children's Home discussing their parents when they think no ono is about. My mother was smarter than your mother" says one. ''No sir. my mother was the incest mother" says another. Well, anyhow my mother was the prettiest,'' asserts a third. and fourth chimes in My mother was smarter and nicer and prettier than any of yours, so there"
 Fathers are talked over in the same naive manner, all their strong points being brought out in tho argument. Their weak points are also mentioned quite frankly at times. but in the main each child is pitifully surs that his parents are the best in the world. So much depends on picking out the right parents! When we appear as helpless infants in this world. the Creator's wisdom supplies us with . grown up man and woman as par ents to protect and shelter us. and smell boys and girls of varying eses. as brothers and sisters for playmatss to constitute . normal family.
 But sometimes the Divine Plan fs thwarted and a child is set adrift. If the poor mite Is fortunate he lands in g well conducted human sort of institution. If he is unfortunate he is swept into ono of those old-fash- toned penitentiary-like buildings that smell of cabbage, carboMc and soft soap. where he becomes ono moro little human automaton, his actions ordered by the ringing of . gong,- every particle of individuality squeezed out of him by uniform and haircut like every other child there.
 No such criticism as this can be made of the local Children's home. Youngsters of various ages are placed in each of the five houses. with both boys and girls at the Babies house; there is no herding together in crowd ed groups of similar sex and age. The various houses are like private homes in appearance; not huge stone piles with an impressive front, while the children are coralled in a gravel led back yard to play The children attend the public schools nearest their houses, no inferior teachers take them in charge in home school rooms. Each child has his own ward robe of varying color and material; there is no drab uniform to be worn. The food varies; there Is no hxed oatmeal l-prhne-and-c diet in- flicted on them week in and week out. kIn short every conceivable way Is taken of escaping the deadly mono- tony of the old orphanage system
 Recently two girls at the Hart street house celebrated their birth days at the same time. each enter taining a group of girls about her own age. One big birthday cake served for both parties. Birthdays occur at the various houses of the Children's Home on an average of two a week throughout the year. and there is always birthday cake to celebrate with.
