TOBACCO DELAYS THE SCHOOLS


 From the Providence Journal.
 The Simsbury, Conn, correspondent of the Hartford Courant, says:
 The grammar and district schools of the town will open tomorrow, the open ing having been delayed week to al- low the children to continue working in the tobacco fields where their help was needed to harvest the crop"
 This sounds strange to us of a more easterly latitude, even though we are less than 75 miles distant from Sims bury's fragrant tobacco fields. The England tobacco growing district is territorially restricted, being confined almost if not entirely to the Connect icut valley. and to two states, Connect icut and Massachusetts. Yet in the neighborhood of Hartford the industry is an important one indeed and anyone who has seen the great fields ready for the harvest can easily understand how the services of large numbers of the school children of the region might be required to get the crop under shel- ter in time.

House. Leased for Next Year

Some people seem to think there will be large number of vacant houses throughout the city on or about October 1, but this is far from true, said J. L. Yancey. "As matter of fact, practically all the houses :n the city that are to be vacated on that date are already leased for the coming year, and the number of vacant houses will be very few if at all. Just where the housing problem in the city is going to end is a matter of remote conjecture. I am not a pessimist. but I see no help for the matter unless people decide to in crease the building programme during the next few months"
