1t is estimated that to bring child
into the world, feed, clothe and shelter
him until the age Of 10, costs parents
and the community about $8,338 for a
family living on about $2,500.00 a year
income. To the parents the costs is ST.
238, and to the community about 81 ,100.-
90 this latter figure being for education.
OF the parents expenditure about $4,000
is for so-called minor educational ex-
penses, such as books, writing utensils
and carfare to school. The total ex-
penditure per child is divided as follows:
Clothing, shelter, $4,000; Food, ST.
10000; Educasion, $1,150; Miscellaneous,
1924; Recreation, health, s141; and birth

RESPECT THE FLAG

WIHEN you see the Stars and Stripes dis
w played, son, stand up and take off your
hat. Somebody may litter. 1t is in the
blood of some to deride all expression of noble
sentiment. You may blaspheme in the street and
stagger drunken in public places, and the bystand-
ers will not pay much attention to you; but if
you should get down on your knees and pray to
Almighty God or if you should stand bareheaded
while in company of the soldiers marches by with
flags to the breeze, some people will think you are
showing off.
But don't you mind! When Old Glory comes
along, salute, and let them think what they please!
When you hear the band play "The Star Spangled
Banner" while you are in restaurant or hotel
dining room, get up if you rise alone; stand
there and don't be ashamed if it, either!
For al the signs and symbols since the world
began there is none other so full of meaning as
the flag OF this country. That piece of red
white and blue bunting means five thousand years
OF struggle upward. It is the full-grown flower
OF ages Of fighting for liberty. It is the century
plant of human hope in bloom.
Your flag for humanity, for an equal op-
portunity to all the sons of men. Of course we
haven't arrived yet at that goal; there are many
injustices yet among US, many senseless and
cruel customs OF the past still clingng to us. but

DAD AND THE BOYS
BANQUET GUESTS.
WOMEN'S BENEFIT ASSOCIA-
TION HOSTS TO FATHER
AND SON.

Mother and ''the boys" will play
together at Father and Son han
quet being arranged by the Ely Re-
view, WOmen's Benefit Association,
in which a new emphasis is being
placed on Father and Son" observ-
ances.
Plans for the banquet here are
being made by a committee chosen
by the Ely Review, at the sugges-
ton of Miss Bina NJ West, Supreme
Commander of the Women's Bene-
fit Association, who has requested
the 2,700 local reviews of the
Order, which totals more than $780,
600 members, to hold such ban
quets.
The banquet will be held at the
Community Center, Tuesday, March
%, at 6:30 and the following will
be in charge:
Kitchen-Mrs. Quigley; Tables
Mrs. Mcfarland; Entertainment
Mrs. Edith Chinn.
''To unite more closely the Ameri-
can family is the basic motive for
these banquets," Miss West said,
discussing plans for the Father and
son DanqHeIS, Wnlcn are TO De nelQ
in all parts of the nation, "It is an
other step in carrying out the
primary motive our Association,
formed for the protection of the
American family.
Miss West believes that the unity
of the American family and its re-
lationships must be emphasized to
guard modern society against con-
ditions which tend to dissipate the
family's influence. 1t was upon
this theory that "a years ago she
founded the Women's Benefit Asso-
citation, to help protect the family
in event of death of it's home max
er. She believes that by bringing
the members of the family into
more intimate social relation, that
the members of the family will be
more closely united.
Mrs. BONNER. commander of Ely
Review, has received a letter from
Miss West, endorsing a banquet of
this kind for the local review and
Mrs. Bonnier in in command of the
arrangements.

NO PARTR|DGES
To BE SHOT-1926
GOVERNOR CLOSES SEASON ON
REQUEST OF GAME AND
FISH DEPARTMENT.

In order to give additional pro-
lection to the ruffed grouse or part
ridge in Minnesota Governor Theo.
Christianson, on request of Commits
sioner j. F. Gould of the game and
fish department, has issued an order
forbidding thei shooting of this pcpu-
lar game bird this year. The law
provides for an open season begin-
ming October 15 and extending to
November 20, but on account of the
unusual depletion in supply of part
ridge by reason of disease, incl"m-
ent weather during each season
and other causes the past two years,
it was deemed necessary to give the
partridg or ruffed grouse additional
protection for another year.
Reports from all sections where
partridge have been numerous in the
past years, establish the fact they
are practically extinct at this time.
Some disease has been the main
cause of extinction and many speci-
mems have undergone inspection at
the hands of scientists at the Cor
nell University and the state univer-
sity at Ythe request of Commissioner
Gould. At this time the source of
disease remains much of a mystery.

Mayor Gardner c. Weld will re- quest the public utilities commission to order an exception from the Connecticut companys zone layout in the Hartford-New Britain bus service, which will permit State Nor nal school students 10 travel be- tween the school and Hartford for two fares,
 The second zone on the inbound trip now ends at Ibelle's corner. Normal school students coming from Hartford leave the bus at that point and walk in, a distance of about half a mile. those who do not wish to walk that distance paying an addi- tional fare.

 No formal application for this change has been made to the com mission previously, although A. M, Paonessa, when he was mayor, wrote Chairman R. T. Higgins and made a suggestion to this end. At a hearing before the r. |. c. on another oc- casion the matter was informally discussed.
 Mayor Weld favors issuance oi books of tickets to Normal schoo' students, these tickets to entitlc them to the longer ride for two fares.
 The mayor will ask the commis sion to set a date for hearing on hi' application.

 When the work was completed Kerwin began to climb up to the road surface with the contractor fol- lowing. Before they could get to safety the earth gave way with both men being caught firmly. Their shouts brought other workmen, Ker- win was able to extricate himself but Marinelli, who was waist deep, required aid.
