How To Keep
Yourself Well

A child that is from Z to 10 per
cent underweight for its height is
generally considered to be sub-nor-
nal from the standpoint of nutri-
ton.
There are few large cities on this
continent and in fact, in Europe.
in which the health authorities have
not for at least the past ten years
or more. been giving more or less
attention to the problem of nutri-
ton
1t is interesting to note that the
findings of all Investigators, IN this
continent at least, have been very
similar, and that on an average,
from 20 to rs per cent or owe five
million school children in the United
States and Canada are under nour-
ished and under-developed, or 10
| per cent below the normal weight
for their height.
The well nourished boy or girl
measures up to the established
standards as regards height and
weight; has a good carriage; his
flesh is firm, his muscles well de-
veloped.
He has a happy disposition; is all
ways brimming over with life and
animal spirits: and is continually
on the go, both physically and men
tally. He has an elastic step and
lots of pep"
In other words, he is what Her
bert Spencer has said is the first
requisite of every individual, and
that is that he should be a good
animal.
q making classlications of mall
~nuSoetion. other factors than weight
are of course considered, and ad-
visedly so.
The general appearance of the
child, the condition of the skin, the
tone and development of the
muscles. the condition of the mu-
cous membranes. the vigor or list
l~essness which may appear in the
child's facial expression, his general
carriage: in fact, in every move
ment. his interest or lack of interest
in things generally, all go to aid in
the decision.

$4OO,OO0 Damage to Tobacco

. One thousand acres of open-grown and shade grown tobacco were des- .troyed late Friday afternoon in Suf- field, particularly in West Sufield Center, by one of the most destruc- tive hail storms experienced in this section in recent years. The loss is estimated at $4OO,OOO and it may run higher, growers estimated. Hail as large as beans fell for two min utes. The force of the storm up- rooted trees in several parts of the town.
 West Sufield Center including the Taintor Hill section, the Prospect Hill section, South Hale and Rem ington streets suffered the worst from the furry of the storm, and the largest losses were reported there. The shadegrown tobacco plantations of Olds & Whipple, consisting of 100 acres each, suffered keenly, and in many places sagged down to the ground, lowing to the heavy weight of the hall stones.

Cuts Rates on Freight

The New Haven road has lowered it's freight rates in sand, gravel and trap rock by 40 per cent in an at tempt. to compete with the motor truck business, which has been caus- ing serious short-haul decrease. For some time past the local railroad and others in the eastern states have lost amounts totaling millions of dollars, it was stated, by fleets of motor trucks which have been carrying the heavy freight for a sum much less than the railroads have been able to do. The New England railroads also have been losing large sums per annum be- cause of the extensive scale on which these motor trucks have been oper- ating and have followed the example set by the New Haven in lowering it's rates.

Canaan-Great Harrington Line

The proprietors of the Berkshire bus line which has been in operation for the past two weeks. between Great Harrington, Mass. and Canaan have been accorded remarkably fa- vorable patronage and already have plans in contemplation which will assume more frequent transportation service between Great Harrington and Housatonic. At their regular meeting Monday afternoon last the selectmen granted the concern H. cense to operate bus to the upper precinct via Van Deusenville and a bus will be put on this line within few days. H
 Under recent law the operation of a bus line parallel with the line of a trolley company is provided by special regulation so that the. trip as now planned will follow the, Van Deusenville route. Residents of Risingdale will be somewhat incon- venienced by this route but it is pos sibIe that the plans now under >con- sideration will allow the desired change. l..
 Those in charge of the operation of busses to Canaan were informed last week that under a recent Con necticut state law some form of li- cense must be, secured in: that state to allow the transpo portation of pas sengers into Canaan. The first irn- pression gained by the bus men from the attitude of Canaan business men was that the line was not popular with them on account of a possible loss of business to Canaan stores. One of the leading merchants in the Confiecticit town, however, has come out with statement to the effect that the merchants there have found from experience that a trolley or bus line entering the town IS fully as beneficial to them as to '1Great Harrington, but that the suggestion of license was made to the driver of the line in order to save his en1- ployers from arrest or prosecution , under the new law. By reason of the difficulty which they have apparently encountered the line is advertising the fare as between Great Barring ton and the state line. Passengers are carried from the state line into Canaan and from Canaan to the line free of charge. Whether such an arrangement will meet with the ap- proval of the state authorities in Connecticut remains to be seen.
 The schedule of trips to Housa- tonic is as follows, leaving Great Harrington at 6:05, ZOO, 8:1O, 9:O5 and II :O5 a. m.; 1:05, 3:05, 4:05, 5:55, 7:O5, 9:O5, Il :05 p. m. <.
 A schedule of trips has also been arranged to South Egremont as fol lows: TAO and 1O:00 a. m.; 2:00, 7:15 and 10 p. m. The trip to Egg remont was decided upon through the efforts of the transportation com mittee of the Great Harrington Chamber of Commerce.--Berkshire Courier.

CONNECTICUT FOOD
 FOR PEOPLE OF STATE
Food Producers Uniting to Practice Fuller
 Economy

By David Stone Kelsey, Special correspondence of the News. E
 Hon. Henry C. Wallace, Secre- tary of Agriculture in President Harding's cabinet, has just made his first visit into New England. In ad- dressing big field-day gathering at Hartford he said:
 "The last century placed all its emphasis upon Production toward the last including in this better methods of culture and even fnanc- ing--but under conditions resulting from the great war, our most vital problem is one of distribution, and, another is better methods of equaliz- ing the great risks and uncomfortable hazards of farming. Both of these must now take the place of old, hap hazard forms of speculative indus try"
 New England has practically no resources, other than her fisheries, some water and the natural fertility of her soil, yet within 300 miles of her shores are more than one-fourth of our national population nearly all of whom, from a standpoint of agri- culture, are non-producers.
 In consequence, the word Cooper ation" is now upon every farmers tongue, for that great movement among the food growers marks a pro- found change. Last year, farmers of the conservative Empire State organ ized a million-dollar cooperative, statewide Exchange, almost the en- tire stock of which was subscribed for in a few weeks in a whirlwind campaign that united the Grange, the State Dairyman's League and the powerful farm Bureau Federation. With headquarters at Syracuse, and a large grain elevator and trackage, they are already doing a buying busi- ness of more than 100 carloads a month mostly in grain and feeds, besides being a clearinghouse for great quantities of produce.
 Connecticut is also closely follow ing her neighbor on the vest by re- gently organizing a statewide agri- cultural Exchange, with authorized capital stock of $200,000, already with a large number of prominent stockholders. So confident has the committee of organization become that it has entered into a contract to buy a milling and grain. plant at Hartford, with its equipment, good will and business, that of the Gar. ber-Northam Company. ..-' The Connecticut Agricultural Ex- change is exceedingly modest in it's claims. "A farmer-controlIed or ganization to secure the highest quality at a reasonable price" is about all there is promised. The largest Exchange in New England operating "for the benefit of the farmers, the Eastern States, claims to sell at wholesale plus the cost of operation, but the Connecticut Ex- change, strictly "one-man-vote" cooperative organization, expects to be able to make good along the lines above quoted, and also make a profit for its farmer-owners.
 The experience of all successful cooperative farmers exchanges is that their prices are sometimes be- low and sometimes above others, but really the quality is always above and that is a sufficient result to justify the enterprise.

 MT. Wheeler, who is we'll known and respected resident of Bantam, was going through Litchfield shortly after nightfall and was stopped by two of the new state motorcycle policemen. He was informed that his tail light was not lighted and when he attempted to. explain the matter to the two policemen he was arrested and handcuffed.
 The policemen took him to the Litchfeld jail where he was released on his own recognizance. He had to wait couple of hours with the handcuffs on his wrists before he was released, however, as neither of the policemen had key to open the bracelets and they had to borrow key from the jail.
