FARM PRICES OF PRODUCTS
 SHOW SLIGHT DECLINE

Farm prices that were relatively high on December 1, 1920, as com pared to the 5-year pre-war average i 1909-10 to 1913-14, showed slight de- cline by March l, 1921, and those which were relatively low showed a great decline in that period, accord ing to reports recently compiled by the Bureau of Crop Estimates of the United States Department of Agri- culture. Using 100 as basis of com parison to indicate the 5-year average the statisticians say that wheat, for example, was 16s on December l, 1920; III on January l, 1920; l67 on February l, and 165 on March l.
 Corn, which was 119 on December l, 1920, as compared to the compar ative figure of 100 of the 5-year pre- war price, was TOT on March l, 1921. Potatoes, which were relatively high, being 1sS on January 1, 1920, were 125 on March 1, 1921. Cotton, which was relatively low, was 115 on Janu- ary l and s3 on March l. Butter, eggs, and chickens showed the highest relative price compared to the 5-year average, the figures being 195 for butter, 218 for eggs, and POS for chickens. Flax, cotton, barley, and corn were lowest compared to the D. year average, the figures being 1l0 for flax, 115 for cotton, IF for bar ley, and 119 for corn.

GOVERNOR LAKE PROCLAIMS
"Be Kind To Animals Week" April
 1lth to April l7th

Governor Lake Friday issued a proclamation designating the week of April II as "Be Kind to Animals Week" and urged that efforts be made in the schools and elsewhere to build up and strengthen a love of justice and fair play, particularly in their treatment of dumb animals under their control The proclamation fol- lows :-
 "That the state of Connecticut may continue the good work which it has long been doing, I hereby proclaim the week beginning April 11th as
 Be Kind To Animals Week and set aside April 17th as Humane Sunday. Among the civilizing forces which make for the betterment of human life and for the advance of modern progress, humane sentiment takes high rank; and it is of the first importance that this should find ex- pression more completely than ever before, not only in the mutual rela- tionships of men, but also in their treatment of dumb animals.
 q therefore especially urge that the teachers in the schools throughout the state endeavor, with earnestness and sincerity, to build up and strengthen in the minds and hearts of the young love of justice and fair play, and urge all, men, women and children alike, to manifest a spirit of bin JJipacc 0onfIepoSS and mDafhpt- ic consideration in their treatment of those dumb animals that may come under their control"

POEM OF P. H. s. GRADUATE
 IN COLLEGE MAGAZINE

The following poem from the pen of John Hogan, son of MT. and Mrs. Martin Hogan of this city, graduate of the Putnam High school last year, was published in the current issue of the Holy Cross College magazine: Oh, the weary steps and the ceaseless
 steps up never-ending stairs, With tagging feet as we gaze ahead
 and envy him who dares, Till we reach the top and pause
 awhile, then start ahead again, Up the steep, steep, steps, and the
 high, hard steps-the burning
 steps of pain.
 In the steps of life, though weighted
 down with heavy burdening pack, It's only the man with the will to win
 who never hastens back, For his gaze is set on the highest step,
 and the peace that waits on high. As he struggles on with a firmer
 hope, and a prayer to help him try.
 For life is only stairway, and the
 steps each passing day, And now and then there's a landing place to help us on our way. Though the steps are steep and the
 steps are hard on the tedious paths we plod,
 They lead at last to House o1 Love-
 and the Holy Land of God.

STOP SALE OF DISEASED MEAT
Hone To Frame Bill For Inspection
 That Will Override Objections

As result of conference of the
 commissioner of domestic animals and the legislative committee on pub lie health and safety it is hoped to pre- sent substitute bill to the legislature regarding meat inspection which will override previous objections.
 A measure of this kind, which di- vided authority between the state de- partment of health and the commis- sioner of domestic animals, was re- iected recently in the House. The aim is to present bill that will provide for meat inspection in towns as well as certain cities, now having special provision for such in- spection. It is claimed that at pres ent it is possible and in fact common practice to dispose of meat which IS diseased. The committee, it is under stood, will favor a bill which provides for inspection by competent veterin- arians and is in accord with the reg ulations of the United States Depart nient of Agriculture.
 There has been more or less agita- tion in this city for proper meat in spection and supervision in the killing of animals for food. The subject was brought before the common council but when the suggestion was made that it might mean the expense of a public slaughter house the matter was referred to a committee and allowed to die.
 The meat dealers as well as the pub lie will welcome proper meat inspec- tion and it is the belief of many citi- zens that such protection is badly needed in this city.
