equaninity. The installation of an
automatic oil heating system assures
these comforts.
The very great advantages of the
Williams OHIO Matte Burner, carried
by the w. D. Long Company, 144 b.
Ohio St, are found in the fact that
it burns a very low grade of oil. In
fact, 1t burns any and all kinds with
equally good results and produces a
all times an absolutely uniform heat.

NoRMALcy, WE GREET THEE

Creators Of artificial prosperity are looking for jobs. Prosperity founded on something more substantial than optimistic speeches is again enthroned' if we can depend upon the monthly bulletin of the National City Bank of New York which is distributed in this territory through the New Britain National bank.
 The current number of this financial publication gives cause for genuine rejoicing on the part of merchants who have things to sell and other nortals who want to buy things. The trend of business in the first month of l92S has been very satisfactory" the bnlle- lin declares. There is no slackening of industry, and all domestic condi- tions give promise for a good year. Industry is about as active as it ever was known to be or can be with the | present labor supply" There is q steady demand for steel, and house. building and road-b building will be car ried on on a broad scale, the bank believes.
 Particularly pleasing is the state ment that Railroad traffic is heavy and the roads are expecting to have the best year yet experienced since they were taken back from govern ment operation"
 Other factors promise prosperity for 1923.
 The bulletin referred to was ultra conservative during the reconstruction 1 period. For that reason its message of cheer is all the more reassurinS.

A WISE GERMAN

The result of the French invasion of the Ruhr has been prophesied truly, it is believed, by a former adjutant Of Gen. Ludendorf, and who is also a wealthy potassium mine owner. Ac- cording to a dispatch from the New York Herald Bureau in Berlin, this man, Arnold Rechberg, says:
 The Ruhr occupation and the
 failure of all attempts to reach a
 reparations settlement are att
 tributed directly to German in-
 dustry and the ultimate settle
 ment certainly will be brought
 about by cooperation between
 German and French industry, af-
 ter which the political parties will
 be obliged to swing into line.
 In other words the German and French private pocketbooks, suffer- ing from the increasing cost Of every thing because of the French inva- sion, will get together and decide that, whatever happens, they will be more plentifully filled if work is done than if things are allowed to go on us they are-everything going out and nothing coming in. And when pocketbooks reach this conclusion, politics must grin and bear it--and do as the pocketbooks dictate.

THE HOBO COLLEGE

The Hobo College" in Chicago is mentioned merely as one of the places where something may be learned about some of the people who form part of the population Of the United States, governed by its laws. affected by the knowledge or ignorance of the rest of the population. And 3 class of people such as the 'hoboes" who at- tend this college with more or less regularity is worthy of mention only because it is well for people who know little about any class except their own, to realize their own ignorance.
 As it is hard to convince the dweller in a small community that he is un- ftted to pass upon the actions of resi- dents of a larger place because of his ignorance of the influences and condi- tions there, so it is hard for the so-

BART IS DONE

Apologies to II. W. Longfellow). Old Bart is done, and his mantle Falls with a sickening thud, As stone that's slung at bull tog, And only connects with mud. I see the fights in the village
 Have given him pain in the wrist, And feeling of sadness comes OCT
 me,
 For the old soul will be missed. A feeling of sadness and longing That gives me an akin pain, And resembles sadness only
 AS a crutch resembles cane. Come, read to me some jingle
 From some simple and heartless
 jay,
 That shall soothe this awful feeling Or furnish the thoughts that may. And not for a porous plaSter,-
 Not for barrel of lime, Could l, Bart's footsteps follow
 Through his corrugated rhyme. For like strings of macaroni,
 Their mighty length suggest The endless toll of poor old Air Before he longed for rest. Read from some humbug poet,
 Who gushed and cussed like Bart' Like a thunder storm in summer, Or dam that's burst apart. Who, after days of labor,
 At night, devoured ,witf, case, A dictionary, maybe, and Perhaps q plate of cheese. Such songs will make a riot If you bang 'em hard enough, And come, like fearful headaches That follow boot leg stuff. Oh read from the treasured writings Of the late departed Air. And lend dime to the King of
 Rhyme. Who didn't give a care. So our nights will be shy of music And the Airs" that infest the day Shall fold their paraphernalia And silently sneak away.

Two.PLATOON BILL

The fire insurance companies With their lobby system will undoubtedly get behind the bill now before the legislature requiring all cities ana towns to adopt the two- platoon system for their fire departments, not because of any philanthropic reasons, however. Such companies are among those do- ing business that are constantly aided by the public in many ways. They pre- tend at least. to insure against great danger. The people. no matter what they think of insurance companies and their methods, want to do everything possibly to obtain protection from lire. Efficient, rested fremen, whose hours are such that they are eager to do their work we'll protect the people better than firemen who believe they are not properly treated, although the cost to the people is undoubtedly greater. It is extremely dubious If there will be financial redress in lower insurance rates.
 But the fate of this bill does not concern us at the moment. The mat ter that does interest the people of this city is the plan for two platoon system here which will be discussed soon by the common councll. And this matter interests the people not be- cause the two-platoon system would be approved by fire insurance com panies, but because it is something that has long been promised to the firemen of this city. The plan was ap- proved long ago at the last of the "city meetings" The money was ap- propriated. Then it was decided that the plan should not be put into effect at that time as the citys finances did not warrant it. This newspaper fla vored keeping the city's word to the flremen then. The city's finances are not appreciably better today than they were then and the people are under a heavy burden of taxation. The time is less propitious now for the adcption of this system than it was then.
 And yet the city's promise to our uremen should be kept. The promised axtem should be adopted and put into
