they, too. were on the black list.

of all! She did not want to part with

could take only very few utensils to

Oh. you hard-hearted pussycat, wait

Three days later Sophrnnia sent for
Ed Wallis. He was rather surprised
when she opened the door to see
everything in its usual order, nothing
prepared for moving.

"Nothing doing" said Ed coolly,
"1'm going to keep the house"
Sophrania turned pale. She had
not expected this. But l simply can't

ahead of him to the kitchen and there
in basket next to the stove was
Franklin, plus four little newcomers
"Oh, you could drown them easily"
suggested Ed blandly.
SOphrania would not answer such
cruel remark and turned her back on
the speaker. But she found herself
suddenly wheeled around by a pair of
strong arms and round, genial face
close to hers.

there's no need of your moving if

"And your wife, would she care to

"You are going to be my wife," he
answered masterfully, land we are

APPLE CROP
 TO BE HEAVY
 COMING FALL
by rhS Asscisrs Ns~seaer sysAissfa

Reports received by the farm bu- reaus from several sources through out New England indicate a heavy apple crop this year and pears are reported to be fully up to normal. This is good news in view of the fact that peaches through most of New England are entirely killed out, only a few districts in Connecticut report ing some blossoms in small localities. Reports coming from other parts of the United States also indicate a good crop of apples.
 Estimates of the coming apple and pear crop are based on the bloom this spring, which was heavy. It should be remembered that a fairly light blossom sometimes gives a fair crop because the fruit is large and that a heavy blossom does not guarantee all ways heavy crop. Apple trees plant ed eight or ten years ago are blossom ing heavily this spring
 The bureau tells the farmers that for the past two decades apple grow ing has proved profitable year in and year out, whereas other branches of agriculture have had their ups and downs. It is said that on the whole apple growing in Connecticut and New England can be promoted with all confidence of~a future market for high quality fruit.

CONFERENCE ON
 BONUS QUESTION

Aldermen E. T. McManus, R. Arthur Brown and Edward T. Hamilton, re- presenting the Board of Aldermen, held a conference with a committee of teachers in the public schools, Miss Margaret Kieley, Miss Jane A. Bird and Frederick M. Armstrong with Att torney John A. Cornell, counsel fo, the State Teachers association, in the office of Alderman McManus yester- day afternoon to talk over the bonus question which the teachers are anXi' ous to have settled.
 The teachers explained that to get the grant of state money, amounting to $57,9S7, it must be shown that the city has paid to the teachers this amount during the last il weeks and two days of the school year and be- fore July IA. They told the commit tee that they have not received that amount, although they have now re- ceived all the pay regularly due them. The teachers asked the a1dermanic committee to issue short term notes to meet the grant of the legislature and when it is received by the city from the state to pay off the notes, The aldermanic committed will take up the matter with the city attorney, w. H. Comley.

BUCHAREST TO BE CENTER FOR
 SOUTH EUROPE

Bucharest, June 26-This city will become a huge communication cen ter for south Europe, both for wire less and aviation, if present French plans are carried out. The Narconi Company has offered to build a huge wireless station in Rumania, which would handle business from the East as well as local business to the West, but it appears likely that the Ruman- ians will either continue their own wireless service in connection with the Eifel Tower and other stations in France, or else permit the French to establish such a station.
 Both British and French firms, backed up by their governments, are attempting to arrange a complete air plane service. The French propose to connect Paris, Vienna, Budapest, Bucharest, and Constantinop1e, in a cluding Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece. It is hoped later to extend this ser vice into Russia.
 French army aviators began last summer to establish a tentative post service between Constantinople and Bucharest, connecting with the ex- press train to Paris. This service is being now developed, but owing to its great cost it is felt necessary to have
 
 territory the airplane service will be conducted, to contribute a pro-rate share to maintain the service. It is estimated that the cost aver ages S100 for each hour the machine is kept in the air.
 In view of the poor conditions of the railway systems in South Europe. business men have generally given their support to these plans.
 
 and Southern Europe and waters of the Black Sea, the Adriatic and the Mediterranean, practical aviation is constantly severely tested.
 Flying into Russia does not pre- sent the same difficulties Since the Armistice huge German machines carrying passengers and contraband moneys and other articles of a specu- lative nature, have made frequent trips between Moscow and Berlin. Now and then, these machines come down, but it is generally because of motor trouble During the Bolshevik regime in Hungary, frequent trips were made to Moscow, though the ayiatorS had to cross the Carpathian mountains from Budapest
 From a passengers point of view, such trips do not present any diff culty, once the passenger has over come the preliminary apprehension of danger. This apprehension is much diminished by the new 1inou- sine type of machine. where the pas senger suffers neither from cold nor wind nor motor noise
 The establishment of these wire less and airplane communications are a continuance of the French policy of keeping Eastern and Western Europe connected. It is due to the French that since the Armistice 'ex- press trains have been run between Paris and Warsaw, passing the inter vening cities of Prague and Vienna, and also between Paris and Bucharest, and finally between Paris and Con- stantinople. These three which are known as the Warsaw, Simplon and Orient Expresses, were first under French army control and are now under commercial control of the In- ternational Sleeping Car Company.

YALE CLUB NOW
 UNDER INQUIRY

New Haven, June 26.---Facts that have developed since the death of Henry Humphrey Parsons, a wealthy Yale man and lawyer, at Purchase, N. Y., has started Federal Prohibition Reinforcement Agent James Shevlin to make investigation to find out if Parsons got drunk at the Yale club in New York.
 s"The Parsons case has come within the scope of our department" Mir Shevlin asserted. Our chief interest in the matter is to learn whether or no the liquor was Parsons personal property or was illegally sold to him of his friend.
 If he obtained a permit to bring the liquor from his home to the Yale club after his home was closed for the season, then there was no violation, but If he obtained it by purchasing it while in the Yale club then there is a violation and this is what we will in vestigate."
 William Crocker, friend Of Parsons, told the coroner that he had accom- panied Parsons to the Yale club where they had a drink of gin.

BRITISH FACING
 COINAGE PROBLEM

The present sharp decline in the price of silver may solve a coinage problem for Great Britain. One of the monetary difficulties was to pre- vent the melting of silver coins and their sale bullion. This operation was profitable recently because of the abnormally high price of silver. The drop in the price of the metal has already eliminated that form of ''profteering'' by making it no longer a paying operation.
 The fall in silver may also dispose of another difficulty namely, prevent ing a loss to the government in the minting of silver money Recent high prices meant that the government had to pay more for silver than the value it represented when coined into money.
 The situation was considered so serious by the British Treasury that Parliament was asked to take steps to remedy it. A bill was introduced to permit the issuance of new coinage containing 1ess silver and more alloy than the present silver money. The plan proposed by the British Treas ury would, if Parliament approves reduce the composition of silver coins to one-half pure silver the balance to be alloy.
 In support of the new coinage bill spokesmen for the treasury have ar- sued that while there would be a less amount of silver contained, the re- duction would not mean actual de- basement of the coinage.
 The proposed new coins, they con-
 tended, would be equal in intrinsic value to the pre-war value of the present coinage so long as silver re. ! mained a 6 pence an ounce. or over On the other hand silver would have to reach 122 pence an ounce before there would be a profit realized from melting the half silver and half alloy money for sale as bullion.

 A coal heaver's feelings were hurt' by the unthoughtful actions of his children.
 May. expostulated this man to his wife, 'don't always tell you II won't have the children bringing ir coal from the shed in my best hat?'A
 "Oh, why should you care? ?'' de- manded the wife. @sYou've spilled the shape of that hat already, and what can a little extra coal dust do to harm it?''
 ''You don't see the point" protest ed the husband, with dignity. 1T only wears that hat in the evenings; and if while am out I takes it off my head it leaves a big black band round my forehead. Whats the conse- quence? Why, I get accused of washin my face with my hat on, and it ain't nice, Mary, it ain't nice!''

This\is a final step in shifting the commitments regarding the Rhode Island trolley Ines direct ly to the shoulders of the road.
 The order provides that the deben- lures shall contain a stipulation to the effect that the holders waive any and all right to have payment of these bonds secured by any mortgage hereinafter executed by the railroad.

WISE KID

In an infant school the teacher chose the miracle of the water being turned into wine the subject of the usual Bible lesson.
 In telling the story she occasionally asked a few questions. One of them was:
 When the new wine was brought to the governor of the feast what did he say?''
 A little girl, remembering what she had heard, probably on some festive occasion, called out:

migration laws Of 1917 (Scction 3O)
provide that the department of labor
shall maintain a bureau Of informa-

string immigration. Under this pro-
vision, South Carolina could place
information about the state in the

maintained in order to distribute the
immigrants to the towns and on the
farms where there is the greatest
need for their services.
These IDEAS are mcmerly to suggest
what might be done. The plan
would have to be carefully worked
out by the state authorities or by
the local chambers of commerce.

HOW TO X EEP BUTTER FROM
