THE SOVIET REARS
RUSSIAN CHILDREN
PLACES LITTLE ONES IN STATE
HOMES. PRIVATE OWNER
SHIP OF TOYS ABOLISHED.

i! The one bright star in the dark
ness of soviet Russia is the system of
caring for the children of the work
ing mothers. The children are be-
ing nationalized in homes provided
by the state.
More than half of the children in
the larger towns and cities of Russia
are living in state institutions. "All
for the children" has been the motto
of the soviet Russian government du-
ring the economic difficulty. The chill
dren are wearing clothes which pass
ed the bcggar stage years ago, but
they are warm and we'll fed. The
soviet government has taken its role
of parent seriously.
Colony Plan Adopted.
The children live in groups of
about thirty children to each colony.
The plan has relieved mothers who
work off much of the drudgery of
home life and permits them to per-
form their industrial labors with
greater efficiency. The organization
of the communist states is such that
every adult, especially under the con-
ditions of hunger and economic
breakdown which prevail, is required
to do his or her share of useful la
Dor.
Makes Good Socialists.
The children grow up in an at
mosphere which develops good social
lists. There are no individual toys or
property. In religion the children
re left entirely to the discretion of
their parents. The social welfare
work, which has for its aims the
proper care and development of the
children, begins with the mothers
themselves before the advent of the
babe and continues until the child has
attained an age of Is years:
At this age he enters either the
university on state pay or becomes, a
worker in the industrial life of the
country. The girls return home to
help in the homework or enter some
| ,.dustriai establishment.

SCARCITY OF DRUGS
SENDING PRICES UP
LABOR CONDITIONS AND TRANS
PORTATION ADD TO PHAR-
MACY TROUBLES.

One remarkable feature of Ameri-
can life upon which few comment is
the unanimity with which all its ele-
ments fall into step.
/ Now, the casual observer from an
other land, judging from the way one
faction battles the other and certain
gentlemen in the public eye say
! things about others, might imagine
that we were not a one-minded and
harmonious race.
/ On the other hand, consider the
congenial manner in which even the
commodities of our daily life keep
step. Sugar goes up 1 cent and beef,
not to be outdone, takes little leap,
and then potatoes speed up notch,
and so on.
! Of recent months no one angle of
life has figured more conspicuously
J in daily, o, yes, and nightly life as
we'll as cartoons, jokes and comic col
umns than the drugstore. The corner
druggist is a great feature of our
community life-you can go there to
buy 2 cent stamp or a soda, or you
may find it at some places an oasis
in the Sahara of life, providing of
course you have the password and
the necessary parchment.
But whoever gives a thought to the
troubles of the drug store and wheth-
er sodium potassium is as easy to get
as ever.
Further Rise Expected.
A rise in the price of all drugs,
which have been steadily scaling the
! heights of the temple of hi cost, is
anticipated according to wholesale
druggists.
According to dealers in drugs the
costs are due principally to the same
causes that affect all commodities,
namely labor conditions and transport
tation. Sugar enters very largely
into manufactured drugs" said one
of them, "and at the present price of
the sweetener creates a problem to
drug as we'll as other circles. And
then alcohol" The druggist left it
to the imagination to picture the eff
fort to which even a druggist must
go to obtain the precious liquid.
instruments. Are Inferior.
Recently it has been cause of
much complaint among medical men
that their surgical instruments are of
inferior make when compared with
those obtainable before the war. 1t
is asserted that this is due to labor
which is one of the big causes for the
advance in prices.
f A few medical supplies are begin
ming to come from Germany, the big
market before the war. This is most
Nv in the line of crude material. Even
vet the German supplies are below
the American in cost, but the present
conditions are reflected in the fact
that German materials are higher IN
price than they have ever been.

PETRIFIED FOREST Is
SIXTY MILES SQUARE
Huge Trees Are Transformed Into
Stone of Many Colors in Arizo-
mas Painted Desert.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz.-Within the
stretch of Arizona's painted desert OF
brilliant hues lies one of the marvels
of the land, the sixty square miles OF
petrifed forest. There lie preserved
for all time fallen tree monarchs, mil
lions of years old, turned to rock.
Mammoth trunks sometimes 5 feet
in diameter and SO feet in length, OF
cracked smoothly into everlasting
stone, beautiful in quality and color
ing-quartz, agate, chalcedony, jasper
and exquisite opal, infinite in the va
riety of delicate tint and rich shad-
ing.
The method Of petrifcation by
which the giant trees became rock
was one of the strange alchemies OF
nature. Probably the wash of water
from hot mineral springs rich in sill
lea was the cause.
The chemical, permeating the It's
sues of the plant, acted as a harden
ing agent, preserving the original
structure of the tree with astonishing
perfection of detail.

Reprint of an Article from the
Carrollton Free Press Re-
porting Speech of Hon. Cliff.
ford Walker Made in Car.
rollton.

The address of Hon. Clifford Walk
er, attorney general Of Georgia, was
one of the most powerful and con-
vincing ever delivered in Carrollton
on Memorial day. His main line of
thought was "The Improvement of
Educational Conditions in Georgia"
and in a most incisive manner he
dealt with the questions of visiting
nurses, good roads, living salaries,
medical examinations for our school
immigration tests, and not
least of all, bolshevism, that foul vul-
ture whose sable shadows are upon
every land. Surely everybody will
want Clifford Walker, princely and
patriotic as he is, devout church
man, an active layman, construct
i've statesman, an educational re-
former, for our next governor. A
very prominent man of our town who
went to school with him when they
were boys said to the writer, II have
never heard one word against Cliff

AMessage to ConnecticutP cop
 the Half- early Sale of F

Especially do we invite young people to visit our furniture cton-Sound advice and helpful suggestions and no urging to buy.
 People have come from all parts of Southern New England, because here at Wise, Smith X Co.'s in Hartford they have been able to find the KIND of furniture they like, at a great deal less money thar they would be called upon 10 pay anywhere else.
 What is the result?
 Today Wise Smith & Go, is doing one of the largest volumes of furniture busi- ness in the country.
 The fact that we have been able to dc so great an amount of business is ample proof that we have ha d better furniture t3 offer the public at all times, and, moreover, that our prices for this caliber of furniture were LOWER than figures prevailing else where.
 Wise, Smith & Co., do not sell furniture on the usual furniture profit basis, but on the same fair, modera te price basis that prevails throughout its esta blishment, hence, one vital reason for the extreme low ness of our price quotations.

HER HOME COMING
To Emily Sue Dow.

You have come back, little girl, little
girl, .
From your stay in the beautiful
West,
But alas, you come sleeping in your
shroud
With the lilies on your breast.
Your gentle hands no more will attend
Lovingly the cares of home,
But in your calm and peaceful rest
Silently you have come.
Sleep on and rest, little girl, little
girl,
We would not your spirit recall,
And looking on your ethereal face
We cannot think this life all.
We know that today, little girl, little
girl,
You have joined the angelic choir,
And thinking of you at the throne of
God,
Your loved ones to heaven aspire.
