One song for thee, New Year,
One universal prayer;
Teach us--al1 other teachings far above
To hide dark hate beneath the wings Of love;
To Stay all hatred, strife,
And live the larger life!
10 bind the wounds that bleed;
To lift the fallen, lead the blind
As only love can lead
To live for all mankindI
Teach US, New Year, to be
Free men among the free,
Our only master, Duty, with no God
Save one--our Maker--monarchs Of the sodI
Teach US with all its might,
It's darkness and it's light,
It's heartbeat tremlous,
It's grief, its gloom,
It's beauty, and its bloom
God made the world for US!

 At last, Taylor hitched up his team, climbed up in his wagon and started home, leaving Mrs. Taylor to stay with Carrie for her first night in her new prairie home.
 Be over in the morning again" he said to Carrie, land dig you well down by the psring. Better have real breakfast on that new stove in there He slapped his knee winked at Mark. You know, Mark, that was a pretty good feed Carrie put out tonight. Think you could get along on that regular?"
 Mark flushed. Guess So," he ad- mitted quietly, glad Carrie couldn't see his face too clearly in the moon- light. Why did people like Ed Fay Tor always have to hit right on your most inner thoughts?
 AS he was leaving, Ed called Mark aside. T wouldn't tell her, of course, but that wells a lot more important thar. just water. don't like this long hot spell, Mark. Every things too dry. knew a time once in Iowa when well came in mighty handy in a pretty bad grass fire. Good place to crawl into, you know, till she's all over"
 He said good night, the wagon rumbled off and Mark went back to the soddy.
 "Well, it's about time I get mov- ing, too," he said to Carrie and Mrs. Taylor. "It'll be cooler riding back to town now" He thankcd Mrs. Taylor for staying this fist night with Carrie and Mrs. Taylor sud- denly decided it was time for her to "get moving, too." She disap- peared into the cool, dark soddy, explaining the bed still had to be unpacked and made up.
 Mark was alone with Carrie, standing by Marks horse in the fading moonlight. The prairie was ominously quiet, save for the funny little chirp-chirp of cricketS in the grass.
 Mark" said Carrie, q can't tell you how much it meant to have you out here today"
 well, it meant something to me, too," Mark managed to stutter, feel ing himself tense and glowing.
 TT wish might do as much for you" Carrie went on. She was close, so close Mark could almost see the color of her eyes in the moonlight. The tip of her firm little chin reached almost to his shoulder and she looked up at him now, say ing worlds without saying anything.
 Mark could hold himself no longer.
 "Carrie-Carrie, he cried, his voice suddenly husky, T love you I love you"
 It was out, just like that. Neither knew what quiet happened next ex- cept that Mark Deuel felt her warm little body smuggling close in his arms, felt her arms creep around his neck, felt her lips press to his and, feeling them, strangely remem- bered what Ed Taylor had said about prairie fire and well.

 AT GOSHEN FAIR
Baldwin Compares COn= necticut's Industrial Ad=
 vantage to Other States

Torrington, Sept. 3 - Governor Raymond E. Baldwin was the prin- cipal speaker at the 30th annual Goshen Fair, yesterday at the Goshen fair grounds. The Governor was accompanied by Mrs. Baldwin and their children. When intro duced he was driven about the an- irnal exhibition ring on an oxen drawn stone boat.
 Governor Baldwin's talk dealt with the agriculture and industrial advantages of Connecticut as con- pared to other states.
 One interesting thing about Gov ernor Baldwin is that he never pre- pares a speech beforehand, but con- siderS his immediate surroundings and talks accordingly.
 The Union Hardware Band of this city played throughout the day and accompanied the free attrac- tionS. The free acts were divided il- to two programs, as follows: Borgin and Banelli, acrobatic team; Lois Germaine, juvenile contortionist; the Buck Twins, acrobatic team; Grace Wilbur, novelty juggler; Engo, the human frog; and the Daltons, sharp shooters and expert rope spinners.

 The Hickory Hurst Challenge Cup was awarded to the Judd Bridge Farms. This award Is given annual ly to the exhibitor of the best pro- duction and type COW shown at the fair. The trophy was donated by John M. Wadhams, and was won in 1939 by F. J. Higginson, Jr, of the Cobble Mountain Farm.
 It is estimated the attendance at the Fair was 5000 or better. Pre- mium awards in the various animal classes were as follows: Chickens, best Rhode Island Red, won by Donald Foster of Thomaston; Cows: Gernseys, won by Hamlet Hill of Southbury; Halstein, won by Terry Newton of Kent; Jersey, won by the Judd Bridge Farms of New Milford; 1; Horses (excepting saddle horses) Champion Stallion and Champion Mare, won by A. G. DeBaux of Unionville. Best Farm Horse, won by T. E. Coy of TerTyville.

Ives; Secretary, Mrs. Louise w. Blakeslee; and Treasurer, Frank J. Seaton.

CHAPTER VII

Carrie was to move into her new soddy home on Monday. Late Sun day, after dinner with Mark, she had driven back to Rock Creek with the Taylors so as to get an early start on the soddy next morning.
 After breakfast, Ed Taylor hooked up his team, threw his plow in the wagon and pulled up ill front of his soddy for his wife and Carrie. They were ready with big lunch basket Mrs. Taylor remarking that this day called for some sort of celebration in honor of their new neighbor.
 Carrie would never forget that morning, the utter quietness of the prairie, its tremendous sweep, the grasshoppers stirring up before the wagon, the sun beating down so that it seemed to touch fire to the early morning breeze.
 Big Ed was concerned about his small patch of corn, whitening in the himmering heat. He stopped the wagon once, got down and ex- amined the browning tasselS.

Chain Stores Attacked
By Hearing Witness
BY the Associated Press.

os 'hc ASnolldteQ FIeSS
A witness who said he spoke for
the independent Bankers Associ-
alton, and Missouri publisher told
Congress yesterday that chain stores
and their policies were detrimental
to the public.
Ben Du Bois of Sauk Centre,
Mimi, secretary of the bankers
group. and George Schultz. owner
and publisher of the Interstate Mer-
chant OF st. Louis. decried chain
store methods as devious" and
various" and leading 20 vicious"
monopoly.
They appeared before House
Ways and Means Subcommittee dur
ing hearings on a bill to impose
a Federal tax ranging from $50
to $1,000 on chain stores.
Mr.. Du Bois said chain stores
and chain banking were birds of
a feather" and asserted that the
chain system takes much from the
community and brings little in re-
turn
Mr. Schultz, venturing that chain
theaters and chain restaurants
would be affected by the proposed
legislation. declared that prices in
chain stores are juggled up and
down to suit the occasion"
He knew personally. he said. of
instances of short weight and over
charges made to offset shrinkage.
A large part of his testimony was
directed at what he said we're price
variations that sometimes ranged
as high as 157 per cent on the
same commodity in the same chain
Asked by committee member
for proof of his statement that dis
honesty had existed, Mr.. Schultz
declared he hoped to substantiate
his charge with a Federal Trade
Commission report. He is to ap-
pear again when the committee

more dangerous.
%" 1t is apparent that the
Board of Higher Education either
disregarded the probable consequence
of their acts or were more concerned
with advocating a cause that ap-
peared to them to present chal-
lenge to so-called academic free
dom without according suitable
consideration of the other aspects
OF the problem before them.
Freedom Is Not License.
This appointment affects the
public health, safety and morals of
the community and it is the duty
OF the court to act. Academic free-'
dom does not mean academic license.
1t is the freedom to do good and
not to teach evil. ="
In his argument against Mrs.
Kay's suit, the Board of Higher
Education counsel had made no
answer to the charge of immortality,
contending that that was imma-
terial. He sought only to dismiss
the action on the ground insufficient
facts were stated and that the
education law provisions regarding
citizenship were not binding on the
board.
If an appeal is taken. it would
go first to the Supreme Courts ap-
pellate division. Justice Mcclellan
pointed out that the State Court of
Appeals would be the court of last
resort, inasmuch as no constitutional
question was involved that would
permit its being carried to the
United States Supreme Court.

distribution to 81 seats in 1889.
Whether the Social Creditors can
do with q smaller majority what
they failed to do with a larger one
remains to be seen. Whether the
trend actually is against social credit
also Is an unanswered question.
Backers OF yile scheme give a
definition of social credit as credit
which accumulates from the asso-
citation together of the people Of
any state or province" That is,
two men have more credit than one,
ten men more than one.
They hold for the payment OF
what they call a basic dividend,
that is, payment given to indi-
viduals on account of their service
to the state, a payment intended to
provide food, clothing and shelter
for the people, somewhat similaf to
old-age pensions.
In appealing for reelection Aber-
hart insisted his government is on
the right track now toward the
Social Credit program which was
"blockaded" by financial institutions
and the Dominion government.

plan took a step forward when the
