Discusses Hospital Plan

Prior to Miss Leavitt's talk, the teachers heard an explanation by J. c. Hurst, field representative of the Waterbury hospital care plan. MT. Hurst discussed the plan under which contributions are made monthly by members in the plan for future hospital care, and gave out explanatory pamphlets.
 He explained member hospitals are St. Mary's and Waterbury hos pitals in Waterbury, the Grace, St. Raphael and New Haven General hospitals in New Haven, and the Milford hospital in Milford.
 The idea of the plan is that each member in the plan is permitted three weeks hospital care, not in cluding doctors bills, in a member hospital during a year. Under the plan family may be enrolled for such care, that is man and wife each contribute 75 cents monthly and they or their children can get the hospital care under the plan.
 MT. Hurst said thep Ian was orig mated in Iowa in 1918 but was first definitely tried by group of Dallas, Texas, school teachers in 1929. Some Waterbury teachers have en- rolled, he said. He answered num- Der of questions after his talk.
 Edward Kehoe, league president, presided at the session and ex- pressed thanks to Miss Leavitt for her talk.

Illustrates Convincingly

Miss Leavitt played a familiar song in its accustomed rhythm and then changed to a different rhythm, altering the song so that it was scarcely recognizable, to illustrate her point we all subconsciously rec ognize rhythm although we may not think we do. She then went on to discuss melody and harmony point ing out how essential they are to a piece of music. She illustrated this by rendering familiar piece as it is played, then leaving out rhythm, next melody and then har- mony. We feel certain things in music and although some of us don't think we know them, we re- alize when they are left out of 8 song, Miss Leavitt declared.
 Miss Leavitt, who is also a con- poser, showed her ability by having four teachers each suggest one musical note and then she played these together first on one scale and then played them so that they formed a melodic bit of music. OuA CuuCdOAOAAUA CJoVClil, o4AC odlO, teaches letters for the intellect, gym nastics for the body and poetry and music for the emotions. We teach children care of the body, lead them through the process of mathematics and such to increase their intelli- gence and because we want them to have something by which to stab- ilize the emotions, we offer them music.
 If anybody has love of music in his soul, he IS more kindly, less harsh and nearer to cultivating the characteristics which makes him fine than person who dislikes music, Miss Leavitt said ill conclu- sion.
 Leon R. Corliss, supervisor of music in the local schools, intro duced Miss Leavitt to the league members.

RADIANT LIVING
THE PARADISE OF FELLowsmP
BY Rev. c. NJ. CrIHeth
Pastor Calvary M. =. Church
sudlersvilln. Nd.

Men have been fascinated by the
charms Of the shaggy Ozarks with
their rich embracing ozone, their
spirelike pines, and their woodland
trails. AaU4 81
They have been captivated BY the
imposing splendor OF the Yosemite.
the Garden of the God, with its mas
siye crags, its leaping waterfalls,
and its enchanting wales.
Men have been awed to silence by
the vast sweep Of the Grand Canyon
OF the Colorado, resplendent with
the glories of the rainbow.
They have been unchanged by the
paradisiacal valleys Of California,
basking in mellow sunshine, dotted
with vineyards and orchards, and
perfumed by the orange blossom.
But what are all these paradises
of earth in comparison with the in
describableness of that Paradise OF
God into which the redeemed man
enters when he comes into an inti-
mate fellowship with Deity.
In this Garden of God there
dwells an Infinite Peace into which
the glamors Of a goddess world can
not penetrate. Here the soul enjoys
n bliss that is akin to. heaven.
To know God. TO enjoy His pres
ence. to be at one with Him in pur-
pose of life, to rest in His love; to
exult in His joy, to enter into an
experience that is heavenly.
You may travel East, or may travel
West,
But to travel with God. is to travel
best!

PRICES OF WHEAT
DECLINE IN WEEK
Sag After Inauguration of
Government Program to
Stabilize Supplies.

A slight decline in prices followed
Inauguration of the administrations
long range program to stabilize wheat
supplies and prices through Govern
ment loans and proposal for sharp
reduction in the 1889 crop acreage.
The Bureau OF Agricultural Eco
nomics said continued liberal Market
ings and prospects for world supply
of around 435 100000 bushels larger
than a year ago were factors that
weakened prices.
The administration last week offered
wheat growers price loans
averaging between SO and so cents a
bushel on surplus grain and asked
farmers to reduce 1899 paintings from
80,oO0,00o acres seeded for this years
bumper crop to 55,000,000 acres.
European markets were somewhat
unsettled but were relatively firner
than North American markets.
The stem rust situation dwindled
in interest as hot weather retarded its
development in the spring wheat area.
Receipts of new winter wheat at
American markets during the week
we're estimated at 20,596 cars, COM
pared with 23.20s the previous week
and 21,l05 In the corresponding week
last year.
The bureau reported public storage
Of wheat at Kansas City increased
8,434,000 bushels, the greatest gain for
a corresponding period in the history
of that market. The protein of $3.50
cars tested there averaged 1901 per

HOME BUILDING
REEVES SHARPLY
Increased Owner Occupancy
Regarded as Sign of
Upward Trend.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. July 1s.-The value
Of homes constructed to be lived IN
by their owners rose sharply in the
first six months Of 1898 to the highest
level in several years, F. W. Dodge,
building statisticians, reported today.
"A strong and continued home-
building trend in the owner occupancy
field previously has been regarded as
a forerunner of increased home build.
ing for sale and rent" the report said.
The survey indicated half the resi-
dental building volume last month
was for owner occupancy. The pro-
portion has increased steadily from
January, when only one third of the
total was accounted for by owner
occupancy contracts. June, 1887, stood
at 40 per cent of the total.
The six months expansion tripled
the volume of such building, the total
rising from sl26o0,ooO in January to
$4,000, 900 in June. Owner occupancy
building in the latter month was some ,
s2,5oo,oo0 above the comparable period
last year, although total residential
construction was somewhat smaller.
