There are plen- ty of them in the ocean and plenty of fishermen glad to catch them for five cents. Potatoes are 75 cents peck. Aroostook county, Maine, can raise potatoes enough to supply New Eng land. It is no trick to get 150 bushels an acre, and the farmers grow rich if they receive 50 cents a bushel.

ernor Marcus H. Holcomb has called upon the mayors of all cities in the state and the first se1ectmen of all the towns for "a complete census of the men of Connecticut.
 | Do you know how much you weigh? Do you know your exact height? These are two Of the questions that you will be required to answer when you are approached by a census taker engaged
 in making the enumeration called for
 by Governor Marcus H. Holcomb. The census taker will ask you your age. Of course you know that, but can you answer him correctly when he asks your exact weight and height? Many men who have seen the blanks being used by those who are taking the Connecticut military census throughout the state have appeared surprised that there is no question on the census blank which asks the indi-
 vidual if he would enlist in case the United States should ever call fer troops.
 In explaining this. Charles A. Good win of Hartford, who is member of the committee of assistants to Cover nor Holcomb for the military census, has made the following statement: "Enlistments in the army or navy is only a small part of the service re- quired of citizens under modern condi- tions. The governor does not now de- sire to know who will or will not en- list. He simply desires to know cer- tain facts regarding each man. which would show his qualifications for the varied activities of modern warfare, of which service in the army or navy is only one branch"
 Tyler D. Guy and Cornelius T. Downes are among the busiest commit teemen at the census headquarters.
 They are rendering invaluable service in perfecting the lists.

ADDRESSED sToRRs PEOPLE
 ON INTERESTING TOPIC
Rev. H. E. Starr Spoke on Poetry as . Factor in Education and Character Building.

Thursday evening Rev. Harris B. Starr of the Pilgrim Congregational church, New Haven, spoke to the pe0- pie of Storrs on the subject of Poetry as a Factor in Education and Charac- ter Building. This is the first of a number of such lectures to be hela at Storrs. MT. Harris, who was the col lege pastor about 15 years ago. pre- faced his remarks with a number of "reminiscences of college life before the Connecticut Agricultural college had attained it's present standing and size. ''The community is to be congratu- lated,~ he said, upon the wonderful change which has come about since I 1eft.''
 His lecture dwelt largely upon the effect unconsciously produced by a study of good poetry, especially during the adolescent stage. It was freely illustrated by readings from a num- Der of the better poets and brought out clearly the fact that poetry takes hold upon children, although we may not realize it at all at the moment the selection is read.
 It is the plan of the college com munity to continue these suppers at intervals and to have as a guest of honor a man of ability who will com plete the evening by a talk upon some subject of interest and value.

one month about Christmas time and
several were sent back to prison for
disobeying rrfles and causing trouble.
