BOND MARKET.

New York, Dec 7.-Bond prices were buoyant in today's early dealings but the late reaction in stocks had a de- pressing effect on the late trading and closing prices were irregular.

Chicago, Dec. 7.-Torrential rains in. terfering with the harvest in Argentina led to higher prices for wheat today. The market closed firm at 1-sc to 1-2s net gain with May s1.i6 5-S to $1.1e S-4 and July r$1.os IS to $1.os -1-l. Corn finished IA to 1-4 up. oats at Is to 1-493-sc advance, and provisions vary. ing from unchanged figures to rise of 5c.
 Before news was received telling of unfavorahle weather conditions in Ar- gentina, the wheat market here nad shown a tendency to decline in sympa- thy with lower quotations at Liverpool fresh advance in sterling exchange and by word of export business at the Guk of Mexico.

 LEADING IN ECO LAYING

Leghorns in the laying contest at Storrs are coming through with relatively more eggs than ever before at this sea- son of the year. They constitute 40 per cent of the birds in the contest but last week laid nearly 4s per cent. Of the eggs Leghorns and other light breeds are usually Of more active and nervous temperament and perhaps there fore are more responsive to climatic conditions and to changes In manage ment. In other words a change either favorable or otherwise seem to show it's effect more quickly on Leghorns than on Rocks, Reds and Wyandottes.
 In the fifth week of the laying contest the total lay for all pens was 257s eggs

Market Conditions

There were few changes reported along the vegetable line today. Onions, car rots and celery were higher in price to- day. Onions are, scarce around this section Of the country and so high prices will predominate on them for some time. The demand for Conn. fancy eggs still continues to be good. The receipts have increased a great deal during the past four days. The range in price on this grade of eggs Is from 70c-75c per dog. There are quite a few cattle on the markets now. The demand this morning was light and prices were holding firm on all grades offered for sale. There is a slow demand for all grades of poultry in this city. All prices on them were about .o2c higher per pound The but ter and cheese markets are very high.

DISAPPOINTING

Judging by the proceeding of the
closing weeks of the conference on
the limitation of armaments, the
delegates had forgotten all about the
fine dream of world peace.
Nothing was said about ways and
means of preventing future wars
Nothing was said about an interna.
tional agreement for arbitrations
The discussions for the most part
centered around rules for the opera.
tion of submarines and other naval
craft during future wars.
1t was all disappointing, and, as
this newspaper said at the outset
it would have been better if the con-
ference had not been held it it did
not accomplish something making
for future peace.

TRADE AT HOME

A man who makes his living work
ing at the carpenters trade ordered
some tools not long ago from a mail
order house. He thought he could
save a few cents, but when the tools
came he found that they were of in
ferior quality and that he had been
stung
This man has made his living by
building houses for the people in the
town in which he lives. He will make
his living that way in the future. But
he will never build a house for the
mail order man.
Do you not think he is very foolish
in not giving all his trade to the
merchants in his home town?

SOME ANCIENT CORN

Corn that grew in Tennessee ir
the long ago, possibly in the days OF
Moses, has been dug up in rude pot
terry vessels by w. f. Meyer. gov
eminent agriculturist.
The life germs in that corn have
slept for thousands of years. But
plant them and they will grow
How do you explain this long SleeI
and the resurrection of the lifl
germ? 1t cannot be seen under the
microscope The lens reveals cell
but not the life itself.
Life has no dimensions, no weight
1t proves the existence of the spirit
ual.
This prehistoric corn, found il
Tennessee, is of type now fount
only in the West Indies. How dc
you explain that?
How did it make the trip? Did 8
bird or a tornado transport it? Oh
was prehistoric man navigator
In fact, there are lots of things
about this old earth that you can
not explain. The find of this ancient
corn in Tennessee is one of them.

DISARM AT HOME

Every war is started by an inter.
national highwayman. So the arms.
limitation conference has been work.
ing on the principle that the way to
prevent shooting among nations is tC
take their guns away.
You don't have to look any further
for a solution to the crime wave
Whether it is logical result of the
war or not, doesn't matter. The
point is to stop it. And the quickest
way to stop IL is to make it impossi-
bic for professional or potential
criminals to get their hands on
weapons,
, 10 -.
4nost States have laws against cai
rying concealed weapons. Most
States make merchants turn over to
:..S,,,;ce 2 rnnort Of revolvers sold to
local residents
, But the mail order house keeps a
supply of revolvers available to Grim
inals, except where States prevent
shipments.
To curb crime, give us nationa
law, firbidding interstate commerc'
in pistols and daggers. States coulo
make possession of death-dealini
weapons criminal offense witt
criminals disarmed, even the house
hold would not need a pistol.

ABANDONED RAILROADS

Twelve hunderd miles of railroad
m the United States were abandon.
ed during 1921. This may be a sur
prising statement at first sight, but
1t is a surprising thing that it was
not done long ago.
The abandoned mileage consisted
Of short line roads, running through
sparely settled sections of the coun-
try, and having a small amount of
traffic. These roads were abandon
ed because they could not be made
to pay expenses. They never had
paid
The fact is that many railroads
m this country are economic mis-
takes. They cost too much to build,
and they cost too much to operate.
They might do better with smaller
and light'r locomotives and cars,
and less expensive roadbed.
Then, the general improvement of
the public highway and the develop
ment of automobiles and motor
trucks have played havoc with many
Of the railroads. They have been los
ing in both freight and passenger
traffic. There seems to, be no hope
for some of them, and we may look
for further loss in the country's rail-
road mileage before the end of 1922.

DIR SLAVES

A scientist in the Smithsonian In
stitution at Washington has figured
that the use of power and machinery
gives to every man, woman and child
in this country the equivalent Of 80
slaves. In other words, he says, take
away all our machinery and steam
and electric power and it would re-
quire three billion hard working
slaves to duplicate the work done by
Americans of today with the use of
these modern inventions.
Why envy the nobleman, back in
ancient Egypt or Bagdad, with 80
slaves toiling for him?
He had swift-running slaves bring
him fish from the ocean and bird ton
CUES from the mountains. Today
with few dimes, you can get tin
can of shrimp brought from Japan, q
package of dates from Syria, bag
of nuts from Brazil, a can of sar-
dimes from Norway.
Your slaves, machinery and power
bring them.
Your real wealth is measured, moi
in money, but in the number Of
things you obtain to eat and wear
the ease with which you get them
the comforts and conveniences o,
your home, methods Of transporta
ton and amusement.

INCOME TAX FACTS

In making out his income tax -
turn for 1921, the average taxn.r.-
will find a considerable saving ~
comparison with the amount Of -.
paid on the same income for 1921 !,
The exemptions provided by "a
revenue act of 1921 are $1,000 -.
single persons 1.-THE term inclua;.. \
widows, widowers, Divorces, and pe,. /
sons separated from husbands ana
wife by mutual agreement), s2.50
for married persons whose net IN.
come was $4,000 or less, and s2OOa
for married persons whose. net in.
come was $4,000 or more. Under IN.
revenue act of 1918 the personal en-.
emption allowed a married person
was $4,000, regardless of the amount
net income. The personal exemption
allowed married person applies also
to the head of family, man or wo.
man who supports in one household
one or more relatives by blood, mar
riage, or adoption.
The exemptions for dependents.

The requirement to file a return Of
gross income of $4,000 or more re-

ETC., which are fully explained on
