COPPER PRICES FIXED AT
 23 1-2 CENTS A POUND
About Three Gents Under the Pre-
 vaiiing Market Price.

Washington, Sept. 20. - Copper prices were fixed today at 23 1-2 cents a pound, about three cents below the prevailing market, by agreement be- tween the government and leading copper producers, effective for four months. Sales to the government the public and the allies will be at this price, f. o. b., New York, and pro- ducers agreed not to reduce wages now paid in the industry. They also pledged themselves to maintain max imum production and to prevent cop per from falling into the hands of the speculators.
 Although the price is fixed under voluntary agreement between produc- CTS and the governments war indus tries board, with the presidents ap- proval, it was announced officially that under the executives war power, "the proper departments of the government will be asked to take over the mines and plants of any producers who fail to conform to the arrangement and price,"

keting propositions.

The United States Department of Markets is finding much difficulty in filling it's vacancies due to the rapid expansion of the service and the lack of trained men throughout the coun- try. A decided demand for such men is apparent.
 Professor Guy c. Smith who has had much practical experience in organ izing markets throughout the state and who is a recognized authority on public markets will have charge of the work at. Storrs. The college has secured H. B. Price to assist Prof. Smith. MT. Price is a graduate of Wisconsin Agricultural college and has secured his Masters Degree from the University of Michigan In addi- ton he has partially finished the work requisite for a doctors degree at Yale university, has had one years ex- perience teaching in the University of Michigan and comes to Storrs with a good record behind him.
 There is no reason why young men of Connecticut should not be found filling many responsible positions in marketing in the near future" said Prof. Guy Thursday. "It would be unfortunate if the state found it nec- essary to go beyond it's own bound aries to find the men they need to do their work" "The college expects and will do it's part and for this reason these courses are beingy made a regu- lar part of the curriculum"

Be Careful in Using
 Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampcos contain too much alkali, which Is very injurious, as it dries the scalp, and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in about teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich. creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily The halr dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wav5-, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.

At this time when so many of our young men are leaving their homes to pre- pare themselves for their part in the great war, it is surely not too much to ask some self sacrifice from those who stay at home.
 with every confidence that the people of Connecticut will desire to do their part in the fullest measure, this plan is commanded to them for their serious and earnest considera- ton.

WHITE LEGHORNS TO
 REACH 1000 MARK Take the Honors Secured by the Wy andottes in Last Years Contest at Storrs.

Last year White Wyandottes were the first breed to reach a pen produc- tion of 2.ooo eggs in the laying con test at Storrs. This year it is White Leghorns that are ahead. A. P. Rob inson's pen from Calverton, N. Y, passed this mark last week and now have score of 2,005 eggs. The total production of all hens in the contest to date is 149.782 or 400 eggs less than last year. At the rate the birds are now laying it seems practically certain that this years average will at least equal the average made last year.
 The best weekly production was made by pen of White Wyandottes be- longing to Grant Euler & Son of Trooper, Pa, with a total of 52 eggs. Another pen of Wyandottes belonging for second place with a pen of Leg horns belonging to J. Collinson of Barnacre, Garstang, England, with production of 45 eggs. Two pens of Leghorns belonging to F. M. Peas1ey. Cheshire, Conn, and Tom Barron, Cat forth, England, tied for third place with a production of A eggs. The to- tai production for the week amounted last weeks figure, but 250. eggs more than for the corresponding week last year.
 The best pens are listed below by breeds. If however, we consider the first ten places in the. contest as a whole, it is found that Leghorns hold first, third and fourth places, with Barred Rocks in second, sixth and ninth places, Rhode Island Reds filling fifth and tenth places, Buff Wyandottes seventh, and White Wyandottes eighth. These best 10 pens, meaning 100 hens, have averaged to lay 179 eggs each, as compared with 114 eggs each for the 100. hens in the 10 poorest pens, and 150 for the average of the entire contest.
