Representative Jarvis Asks for
: Appropriation Of $4,000

Churches-Wins Medal at Show.

If the bill for the appropriation of
M. Jarvis has recommended to the
legislature goes through the Berlin
fair grounds will be graced with one
Of the finest exhibition buildings in
the state At the present time there
is no place in the state where manu-
features can take their products and
show them to the public. 1t is a
plan we'll worthy of the con-
sideration of the legislature and
they will do we'll if they
grant the appropriation
In Hartford there is small ex-
hibit. conducted by the Chamber of
Commerce of that city, where the
wares of the manufacturing concerns
are placed before the public New
Haven has the largest show of this
Kind in the state as an entire build
ing is devoted for this purpose The
heads of the New Haven concerns
have seen the advantage of such n
show and have devoted both time and
money so that visitors as we'll as the
people of the town can see what is
manufa ctured within the great plants
With the proposed appropriation a
permanent building could be erected
ut the fair grounds and each fall the
manufacturing concerns of the state
could bring forth their wares and ex-
1libit them to the public. At the
Ixesent time the makers of farming
implements are the only ones that
exhibit outside of the few merchants
of New Britain who show their wares
in what is known as the Merchants
building.
Representative Jarvis said this
morning that every state but the
state Of Connecticut has at some time
or other made an appropriation for
the erection of a permanent build
ing in the state for the purpose Of
exhibiting tho wares of the facto-
ries Of the state. For number of
years It has been suggested that Some
kind of a building be erected at the
Berlin grounds in order that the
plants Of both Berlin and New Brit
ain could show what they were Of
firing the world for its use With tho
new building not only these two
places but every city and town in the
state that holds manufa curing plant
would be represented tho same as the
products Of the dairy and tho farm
are exhibited at the present time

KEEPING TAB ON CONDITIONS

One of the largest wholesale hardware houses in
the United States has for years maintained COM
pete crop reporting service for the guidance of its
business. These several hundred statesmen,
and each one, he makes" his territory, takes
careful note as to agricultural conditions. These
findings then transmitted to the company. At
headquarters the figures compiled under direc-
ton of one OF the officials, who has made
tensve study of crop reporting The printed reports
together with excellent maps and graphs are then
mailed out to each salesman.
Why, it might be asked, should wholesale
hardware house interested in crop conditions? The
answer IL easy. Agriculture is the nations biggest
business and is the basis of practically all business
Furthermore. there is direct and intimate connec-
ton between the work of the man who manufactures
farm tools and the labor of the man who uses them
Let us suppose for example that statesmen trav-
cling in the Western beet regions of the coun
try during the winter report heavy falls of snow
This means ample water for irrigation purposes the
following summer With plenty of moisture, con-
ditions should be favorable for beet growing
large crop of bees creates demand for beet grow
ing and marketing machinery and tools of all kinds.
With this knowledge the company is able to figure
intelgently future demands If the prospect is
for drought hose and sprinkers, rather than lawn
mowers and scythes are to be supplied. big
crop calls for knives scoop shoves, harvesters, adj
ditional wagons. and material for bins.
Now, if it pays hardware firm to keep such
close crop conditions will it not profit the far
mer to study carefully state and government re-
ports? Farming is longer neighborhood bust
ness. We are interested not only in state and ma
tional production but in world crops.

INSURANCE OF
UNCLE SANS MEN

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 5.-The
act which provides for government
life insurance for soldiers and sail
ors has now been in operation lit
rotary of the Treasury announced on
November II that up to that date
GA, 16S applications under the new
law had been received, representing
insurance in the sum $552,093, 5000.
From four to six thousand applica-
lions are received each day at the
Treasury Department, the amount of
insurance applied for sometimes
reaching a total of fifty million dol
lars in a single day.
The law provides that soldiers,
sailors, marines and nurses in active
service may obtain from the Govern
ment life insurance in amounts not
exceeding $4,000 at premium rates
ranging from IS cents a month at
the age of 81 years to s1.2O 'per
month at the age of 81 years, for
each $1,000 Of insurance.
One of the primary objects of the
law Is to lessen the tremendous bur-
den of pensions which has followed
as consequence of all American
wars.
1t is evident that the administra-
ton of this new branch of Govern
| ment work is big business in itself.
| But this is only one of many gov
ornamental activities incident to the
war which are adding great numbers
of clerks, stenographers, and other
servants to Uncle Sans payroll.
Literally thousands of stenograph-
ers and typewriters have been APP
pointed in Washington during the
past few months and thousands more
are to be appointed as soon as they
are available.
The United States Civil Service
Commission Is holding examinations
for these positions weekly through
out the country. Secretaries of local
moards of civil service examiners at
the post offices in all cities are fur
nishing detailed information.

SOME GAINS FROM THE WAR

In many respects we are profting by our
experience in learning to produce for ourselves nee
essary commodities which have hitherto imported.
The best known instances toys, dyestuffs and
teal glass. for which formerly depended almost
entirely the public enemy. There many
other articles, such post cards and electrical
supplies. Optical glass is presumably an unfamiliar
to the majority of Americans, but spectacles
and glasses are not and without suitable glass
they cannot be produced of satisfactory quality
So much has been said about dyestufs that most
people understand that forced to return to the
vegetable dyes which displaced by the synthet
ic, in which Germans have specialized, while at the
time developing synthetic dye industry of our
OF many coors the supply of good dyes is
already abundant, but it would be too much to
pect of a limited number of industrial chemists in
this country that they should independently discover
in a couple of years all that far greater number of
German chemists have learned in generation. But
the way is open to us to them, and with the
worlds experience travel it faster than
competitors did.

But for all of these domestic industries

erfu class of importers and possibly the majority of
the larger retailers and the class of smaller retailers
who cater to the class which prefers to pay high
prices. We shall probably retail these indus
tries after the war only by adequate protection.
The interest of the retailers is obvious. When
a prospective customer is shocked at an extortonate
price the retailer does like to subdue him her by
explaining in sympathzing tone, But, you know,
these goods have to be imported"
The profits imported goods greater than

Trainmen Consider
Pay BY Hour Plan

Chicago, Dec. "a change in the
method of payment for train serv-
ice is under consideration by the
railroad brotherhoods throughout
the country. Wages are now paid
for eight hours or less or 100 miles
or less. The proposed change is
that payment is to be made by the
hour plan only, as that is said to
meet all requirements and make the
wages more uniform. While the
freight men are said to favor it, op-
position is expected from the p as

Government VIII Take
All American Ships

Washington, Oct. 13.-Praetieally all
ships in overseas trade flying the Amer
lean flag will eventually come under
government control.
This was stated in government cir
cles here today following formal notice
that ships of $500 tons or wei will be
requisitioned on Monday. If the war
continues, vessels of 1000 tons win be
taken over. The data for this move is
already in possession of the shipping
board.
Four hundred and fifty-eight ships,
aggregating 2,S71,359 tons, are placed
exclusively at the government IS dis
posal by the order effective next week.
They will be operated by their present
owners, but with charter and freight
rates already fixed by the government.
Efficiency for war purposes, not the
owners profit, will be the sole purpose
in guiding the ships future use.
