feed fifteen people. ]" Mir. Scovill' neglected to say how many deer eact Connecticut farm should feed. Nc doubt chat the farmers of Connecticut are as patriotic as any citizens or oul state and not only are willing but anxious to do their full share, but on many farms it is impossible to raise decent crop of beans, peas, beets' melons and grains. Each year the farmers put in their time, money and fertilizer and the state's animals reap either the whole or good part of the harvest. In all the planning and anxiety to conserve the agricultural resources of Connecticut why not devote little thought to the tons of good human food that the long suffer ing farmer is compelled to feed to the state's animals each year? And, don t flatter yourselves that the deer are all disappearing. They are still here as our rye fields bear witness.

 Millinery and Fancy Goods
For To-day

Business progress is not made out of money and ability so much as out of keeping faith with the customer by word and deed.
 When patience ceases to be a virtue here and courtesy is conspicuous by its absence then we must expect the wind of diversity to blow strong for ability misdirected is time wasted and wasted time is wasted money. Good nature never yet led a person or a store far astray. The Lamp of Helpfulness burns more steadfastly when fed by the oil of Polteness. There are too many false ways of ''getting ahead".
 Progress, as we measure it here, lies in the downward growth of the roots of the tree of Confidence more than in the actual increase in the volume of sales. Let our abilities and energies be match. lessly strong, yet if both are misdirected misfortune is sure to follow. Keeping faith with the customer by word and deed measures the true progress of this store.

stirred, and ChristOpha reused a little,
and, after all, the sense of the flowers
in the room was the sense OF the little
one in her arms. As if many things
mean one thing.
