so we come tn the conclusion that an attractive poper with the contents of the box attractively advertised On the box paper is going to be a tremendous help in the sale of the contents of the box.
 Fully 70 per cent of the wall space in the modern store is devoted to the shelvesof paper boxes containing differ ent kinds of goods. Why make these shelves attractive and ornamental by using attractive boxes? When manufac- turing a good product, why not dress it in good clothes, in other words an at tractive paper box Putting your trade mark alf over box is not a big job or as expensive as you might suppose. We know of no greater opportunity to impress your trade mark or brand name upon the dealer or customer. The clerk behind the counter just instinctively reaches for the trade marked package. I will close these remarks by extending a cordial invitation to all present to in- spect our plant at your convenience. After Mir Bliven's talk he introduced
 E. J. Graham, superintendent of the To- | cal schools, who spoke on the night school and it's effect on the Americaniza- tion of the foreigner. In opening his ] talk MT. Graham reviewed the rapid in
 crease of immigrants in this country since 1920. DYHng the first twenty years of this period they focked tc cur shores | by the thousands. During the next twenty years the average was about 10O, | 900 per year and from 1880 tc 1920 the average was about S00000 a year and from then on until the present time the average has been about one million until 1 last year when there were restrictions and dven then there were about S00,- 900.
 With the rapid increase 1t becomes nec- | essary for us to assimilGte the foreigner l or he will assimilate us. Even now they | have their colonies, thier newspapers,
 churches, schools and in fact they have practically evrythirg of their own. Un- | less we assimilate these foreigners our | institutions ideals and our freedom will
 be imperilled
 The night schools in this city are do-
 ing what they can to educate the foreign CT in this city and we are accomplishing good work Never do we refuse 10 ac-
 cept anyone who desires to learn the Eng | fish language. There is a class at
 Green ESi file. Broadway schools and one
 at the West Side Silk mill and the ages
 run from 16 to 45. In these classes the pupils are taught to read and write and there is little arithmetic, civics and history for the advanced classes. The
 schools are inspected by the state and arc

Between 60 and 75 dealers in eggs were assembled in the council chamber at New London Wednesday afternoon because of notices sent them by Thomas Holt, dairy and food commissioner of Connecticut, informing them that an agent of the department has discovered them violating the law in relation to designating cold storage eggs and so distinguishing them from fresh eggs
 The notices sent to these dealers asked them to be present and show cause why they should not be prosecuted, but Com missioner Holt assured them that it was not his intention to prosecute them at this time, but merely to warn them that
