One of the most interesting is an old green pint flask, with an excellent profile of General Lafayette blown in the glass or on side in a ring of eleven stars. At the bottom is blown the word, Coventry GU. On the opposite side is a scrol and is blown a liberty torch. The flask is probably one of, if not the oldest in Connecticut.

President Bishop Speaks.

l. President B. P. Bishop of the school l board said they could not accept as solid truth and fact the figures that Judge Barnes had given but there was some truth in them. The judge might best him in juggling figures but the schooI
 board did not accept in any sense the
 statement that the Norwich teachers
 were underpaid in comparison with oth
 CTS in the state.
 The board had the kindliest feeling fol
 the teachers, but believed it's stand or
 the salary question was just and fair tc
 the teachers and the taxpayers The rec
 onlnendation for S200 increase, as al
 ready granted, had been made by the
 school superintendent and when frs
 proffered to the teachers seemed accept able to them. Judge Kelly of the schoo
 board had taken the position that th,
 Norwich teachers mst be as we'll pait as the teachers in towns of our type anC , style, but not to be compared to rich cit ies like Hartford.
 On the averages of ten cities, said MT
 Bishop, six paid their teachers less thai Norwich and three paid more per capita
 The salaries of Norwich teachers hav , been increased 80 per cent. so far al compared with the S5 per cent increas , in the cost of living and if this extr; , s200 is granted the increase will be 10 2 per cent.

room he would make it get down. It was a mistake to say that this dog was not afraid of anything, for one night his mother called his fathers attention to a strange animal coming in the direction of the house holler- ing six different ways. They had been killing hogs so his father called to him to help unloosen the gambling sticks so he could bring the hogs in. After they got them in they stood in the door watching the approach of the strange animal. They felt safe for they knew the dog would not let it come in the yard, but the dog turned tail when 1t got near and ran into the house over them. They then knew it was a bad animal and got up and closed the door.
 I suppose the animal was a jaguar, which had come up from old Mexico and Texas. l used to hear of them in Texas occasionally. They would kill dog and eat his liver and all dogs were desperately afraid of them. Their howl was so terrible that 1t made the hair of the bravest hunters stand on end when they heard 1t. They would follow man all day until the sun went down and then kill him.
 A few nights before this his father had left him to watch a dressed hog while he attended to his chores, when a big bear came up, jumped into the hog pen and ran off with hog hug ged up in his arms. He called his father, who took the pine ax and pur-

(Continued from last week.
 Not many young people have ever seen one though they have often heard the word used. I have not seen one since 1 was three or four years old. During the Civil War saw my mother have two to four, which she had gotten in change at store. That was when we lived in Glasgow, Ky. It was a four bit piece or less. It was of the size of half dollar and a deep. cross was cut in 1t on each side, almost meeting or coming together, they came so near cutting through the coin. As l understood 1t and saw it explained, a person could break it in two with his fingers if he needed change. If person only wanted to spend two- bits, or a quarter, he could break 1t half in two, if he only wanted to spend bit he could break the two- bit piece in two again As a matter of convenience that old four-bit piece was a big improvement over our present coins, where change is scarce. l suppose that the word bit originat- ed from the use of these bits of half dollar.
 He also had an old fashioned hand cut rubber hair pin, which he found in a branch, which had cut its way through a grave in a graveyard, where his father Is buried, near Lew isville, Ark. It was probably buried in the hair of some girl who died be- fore the Civil War. He was a guard in the Worlds Fair at St. Louis and gave me a brass button from his uni form there. He also gave me a lump of silver and zinc ore from Leadville, Colo. 1 got up so very early the next morning that l got to MT. Col burns before they got started to Lit tie Rock.

That night l spent with T. W. At wood, who l suppose is the yam king of Pulaski county. Anyway he has his own potato house full and has also filled the one which formerly belonged to his brother. He has g. 200 bushels of the Porto Rico yams. They are so nice that he is getting SIPS bushel for them, which is 25 cents above the market price.
 He has escaped the black rot, which is very bad this year. He says it can be bred out by planting the vines with the small end down for three years. Two acres of his land made nearly six hundred bushels of the best potatoes he ever raised or ever saw and they are the ones which are topping the market. The remain der of his ground made about 65 bushels to the acre.
 He has machine to set out and water his potatoes. It takes three children to run 1t and sets out about twelve acres a day where the slips are pulled, but they pulled their slips and set out ten acres a day. The ma chine cost him $I05.
 He never removes a vine from his land. He had been planting the same land in potatoes year after year and his neighbors told him he had ruined his land. He had piece of land, which had made good corn for five years before he commenced running it in sweet potatoes. Just to see how bad 1t was hurt he plant ed 1t in corn this year and it made the best corn 1t ever made. No fer tilizer was used. In Texas the best sweet potato growers 1 knew claimed that the longer you run land in yams the better they are. He had been planting them on the same land for twenty years and never fertilizes the ground. This agrees with Mir. At woods experience.
 MT. Atwood was born within a mile of where he now lives and has many interesting experiences to re- late concerning partners and other animals, which were very plentiful during his childhood days. Once while he was an infant in his moth CTS arms his father had gone to town. He had commenced a chim- ney, but had only got it built to about the top of the fireplace. That night as his mother sat in front of it with him in her arms a bear came and looked in over the top of it, but they had big dog, which was not afraid of anything, and every time the bear would rear up to look over into the

Eighteen Months Fight Against Higher Rates Keeps Huge Sum in Peoples
 Pockets.

During the bitter criticism that has been directed against the Arkansas Corporation Commission by its op- ponents, only one side of the argu- ment has been presented-the op- ponents' side. There has been shown only those things claimed in favor of the abolition of the Commission. The Arkansas Utilities Association intends to present incontrovertible facts and arguments in favor of re- tention of that body. The Associa- ton does not deny that it is interest ed in the Commission. It is vitally interested. We'll regulated control of public utilities is the very life of these utilities. We have shown in previous advertisements that the pub lie utilities pay one-fifth of the taxes of the state. Surely properties of such magnitude should be governed by a central body and should not be left to the scattered regulations of scattered municipalities.
 Opponents of the Commission have claimed that the Commission has granted only increases and has made no effort to protect the inter- ests of the public in such matter. How inaccurate and unjust is such an allegation the records prove In one case alone, the Commission saved the people of Arkansas approximate l ly $1,500,000.
 The case in question is the famous Memphis Rate Case, known through out the Southwest as Interstate Com merce Commission Docket No. 1904. It needs no introduction, other than the number, to Arkansas shippers.
 Several years ago, the Interstate Commerce Commission, at the insti- gation of Memphis shippers, placed in effect railroad freight rates which, if allowed to remain, would have added materially to the shipping rates into the state and incidentally would have placed on the people of the state additional increases in the cost of living.
 At the beginning of the 1917 ses- sion of the Legislature, members of the Arkansas Railroad Commission, the body then regulating railroads, secured an appropriation of $l0,000 with which to reopen the Memphis case. The members of that commis- sion are the members of the present Corporation Commission. The du-

have to get up early, for when I ram- ble I am rambling for pay and want to get in just as big days work as possible. If have to sleep late I go back home, where there is more time to sleep than there is food to eat.
 Walter Dreher owns the place MT. Griffin lives on. He must be an early riser, too, for he bought this place mostly on time about two years ago. He now has 1t paid for and has rented it to MT. Griffin for another year. Probably did that so he can make enough money this year to remodel the house, which does not suit him. He has made the money to buy this farm off of his thirty acre home place and made 1t mostly off of strawberries and from the rent of the new farm. Strawberries, where a man understands raising them and can get help to pick them, are sure money-makers.
 Jerry Pinkerton must be another early riser. Always until this time when I visited him I found his home in a little house back of his fathers field. l would only find him at home once in awhile, for usually he was out buying stock or selling fresh meat. By keeping plenty of stock he could fertilize his land and raise big crops, while by selling fresh meat he could always have plenty of mon- ey at all times of the year. This time found him in the incest home in the neighborhood, for he had bought the home farm of R. L. Pitt, who has moved onto a farm on the big road just this side of Van Nc Tyer in order to have a better road to run his truck on to market.
 Mrs. Lula Kumpe is one of our first subscribers in. this section. Tn fact, she is my first one. For I met her husband and he took the Pulas- kian for her just before I got into the neighborhood. l got one of the best dinners I had eaten in a week here. Van McTyer, the largest own- CT of land, l suppose, in this section, is a colored man, who boasts that he took the Pulaskian from me on my first trip and intends to take it just as long as he lives. He said he did not have long to live and did not believe he could die with clear con- science if he should die without faithfully supporting his county pa per until his last breath.

CORPORATION COMMISSION SAVES
 PEOPLE Sl, l,5OO,OOO IN FREIGHT CASE

ties of that commission were the same in relation to railroads as the duties of the present commission are to ALL public utilities.
 With this $l0000 appropriation, the Commission had the case reopen ed and attacked the Memphis rates as unjust and unreasonable. Testimony was taken by the Interstate Com merce Commission at Memphis for five weeks and at Kansas City for three weeks. Many thousand pages of rate exhibits and data were pre- sented to the higher commission.
 As a result of this strenuous action by the Arkansas Commission, the case was drawn out until the fall of 1919, when a final decision of the Federal Commission was rendered. It was adverse to our own commis- sion.
 BUT! FROM FEBRUARY, 1917, UNTIL THE FALL OF 1919 THERE WAS SAVED TO THE SHIPPERS OF ARKANSAS A SUM EQUAL TO $500,O00 A YEAR OR, FOR THE ENTIRE TIME, APPROXI- MATELY $I, ,500,00O!
 AND THIS SAVINGS WAS EFF FECTED WITH AN APPROPRIA- TON OF $10,000!!!
 Think what the cost of this savings would have been if the fight had been carried on by each city and town in the state as opponents of the Cor poration Commission would have such matters handled? Each city would have been forced to employ special counsel; special rate experts; expended large sums for travelling expenses. Under such conditions it is safe to say that the cost of the fight would have been far in excess of the money saved Arkansas shippers. And it should be again said that the members of the Commission direct ing that fight in the interests of the people of Arkansas are the members of the present Corporation Commis- sion; that the duties of that Commis- sion were the same to the railroads as the functions of the present Com mission are to ALL public utilities.
 Without central control, the inter- ests of the people cannot properly be guarded Without central control and state regulation utilities cannot live and cannot give the service to which the people are entitled.
 These facts should be borne in mind along with the old adage that there are two sides to every ques- ton.
