LOSES AND WINS

expecting s.. First, he ovcrlookS
the fact that, had he had the
wheat last spring the price would
not have been s.. Six hundred
million bushels OF wheat market.
ed last spring would have done
almost as much to the price as II
did this fall.
And. let him remember this :
When wheat was 81 the bushcl
! the dollar was worth 80 cents or
less. Today he is selling wheat
al So. hut he is getting dollars
worth more than 81 cents.
], is very probable that long
before half OF the 1920 wheat
yield has left the farmers hands
il will be exchanged for dollars
worth 90. 20 and 80 cents.
Thus. the farmer wins as he
hoses. He loses dollars in num-
bers. but the dollars he does get
are worth more.
He can buy as many automo-
bile. clothes. shoes. machinery
sugar. coffee with two 6o-cen,
dollars as he bought last spring
with three 4o-ccnt dollars.

There may be some good that

cidental items of a musical comedy are worth further consideration. The firm is establishing a school to which college students preferably college graduates, will be sent to be trained to write, or de- velop ideas in the field, or to be put in- to the comedy on the stage. It is with this intention that the representative will visit campus, and not with any idea of buying the comedy as it is Much interest has been added to this evenings performance by reason of the celebrity who will attend, though his Identity will be unknown to the majority of the audi ence.
 One of the most practical additions to the college curriculum has been the establishment of an employment bureau for members of the graduating class. The bureau was started last year, and proved very successful in obtaining po- sitions for members of the first graduat- ing class, but this year, the bureau has been even more fully developed and placed on permanent basis. Each sen- for is allowed to sign up with Miss Mary Holmes, college supervisor of the ap- pointment bureau, and is immediately put in touch with possible position.
 The demand for teachers is very UT gent and salaries ranging from S120o to $500 are being offered to the seniors,

He would not estimate the amount of sugar now available in groceries in the cities and admitted that prices would vary in different stores even under the Palmer ruling.
 Under the plan announced by MT. Whitmore, wholesalers and retailers will be required to take cognizance of prices they paid for portions of present stocks aNuiroG phee prizes were lower in fixing the amount to be paid by pur- chasers. If purchase of quantity of sugar has beer m"dH at 20 cents pound by the retailer, another stock at 22, and third at % cents the retailer cannot charge the consumer 27 cents for the whole stock. AS price levels change, this average price will of course change, but the open books of the companies will show any attempt at profteering.

who would consider teaching next fall
 The demand for college graduates, with a knowledge of Spanish, French, etc, in business positions is growing rapidly, and banking houses, and bond ing companies in New York. Boston, Chi cago and other large cities are appeal ing through. agencies to college seniors to accept positions. as stenographers, as interpreters, to stay in the home office or to travel abroad with officials.
 Social service will claim a rather large proportion of the class, and the work will for the most part in a New York field. Many of the girls will con- tinue their studies for higher degrees, of Doctor of Philosophy or Master of Arts, at large Eastern college. A very large percentage of the present senior class will undoubtedly marry within the year, as engagements are very numerous.
 \ Whatever the field, or the in- terest of the senior, she has no trouble in finding positions to her liking; the demand seems to be much greater than ] the supply in every line of work so that the college girl today chooses from ten or twenty positions, and from ten or twenty places, and salaries.
 The latest innovati at college is the
 engaged girls tea" to be given by the members of the senior class who belong to that particular set, for the benefit of the senior class contribution to the en- dowment fund. Miss Betty Rumney of Naugatuck, will be chairman of the tea, and will be assisted by a compe- tent and large staff of ''engageds"'
 The tea will be given a week from to- day in New London Hall and will be open to students and faculty.

Many whose. eyes were falling say they have had their eyes restored by this remarkable prescription and. many who thrown them away. One man says, after using it: "I was almost blind. Could not see to read at all. Now can read everything without my glass. es and my eyes do not hurt any more. At night they would pain dreadfully. Now they feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle to me. A lady who used it says: ''The atmosphere seemed hazy, with or without glasses. but af- ter using this prescription for fo days even fine print without glasses" An other who used it says: 'I was both cred with eye strain caused by over worked, tired eyes, which induced fierce headaches. I have worn glasses for several years both for distance and work. and without them I could not read my own name on an envelope or the typewriting on the machine before me. I can do both now and have dis carded my long distance glasses alto gether.

AVERAGING TO DETERMINE SUGAR PRICES

Averaging" of the price of sugar to determine the fair price to be charged in Connecticut cities was decided upon by the federal far price commissioner for the state. William F. Whitmore, after a conference Thursday in Hartford with representatives of the sugar trade there.
 Commissioner Whitmore said that the plan he proposes follows closely the ac- ton taken by the fair price commis- gioner of New York and seems for the best interest of the consumer.
 The commissioner sent out the fol- lowing statement:
 Wholesale Grocers and Distributors of
 Refined Sugar of the State of Con-

A Department for Mothers
AND
Teachers of Small Children
y Julia Wade Abbott Specialist kindergarten Educa-
ton, Bureau of Education, Department the Interior)

IL IS beautiful sight to see a per-
fectly normal child enter into the life
of the kindergarten. From the first
moment he seems to realize that he
has come into his kingdom
The true child attitude is that of "a
little friend to all the world" and the
majority of children are so happy in
the kindergarten group from the first
day that the problem is how to per-
suade them 70 go home when the
morning is over
They say to themselves, This is a
fine place: why didn't some one tell me
about it before2 Everything is just the
right size for us, and we aren't told not
to touch things. And all the things we
like to play with best are here-bloclSs
and balls and dolls, and things to work
with; paper and paste. and scissors and
clay, hammer and nails, everything"
But better than all this equipment, to
some children, is the group of play
mates There are children who are
born leaders and organizers. This pow
er is recognized Immediately by the
group as being quite different from the
attempt of the egotistic or dominating
kind of child, and joyous plays are the
result of such a child's leadership.
The social life of the kindergarten is
the very best way for child to begin
his school experience. Most children
have beeR just little individuals before
coming to school, and yet we have ex-
pected them, in the primary school, to

adjust themselves almost Immediately
to highly organized group situation
A teacher asked little boy 10 read
the next agraph, and when he read
a selection two pages in advance she
rebuked him for not having kept the
place. He replied gravely, with no in
tention of being impudent, I can keep
my own place, but 1 can't keep the
place OF everybody in the class
To control your own thinking always
in relation to the thoughts of the group
is quite a step in education. and when,
in addition, you are dealing with sym
bols and not things. as you have always
done before. the situation is more com
plicated.
The free oral conversation in the
kindergarten. the story telling. the
sharing of common experiences, IS the
very best preparation for the more or
ganized work of the school.
The kindergarten. however. is not
merely a preparation for the first
grade. The best way to prepare for
the different periods of growth is to
live out fully and freely each stage of
in its turn.
We do not want to hurry children
through the business of being chill
dren. That does not mean that we
should encourage careIessness and
chiIdishness. but it means that we
would foster the beautiful quality Of
with its capacity for joy,
reverence, and affection.
