Through the interest of Charles Sumner and other senators of the per iod just following the war, Colonel Thorp was authorized to paint his con ception of Lincoln. A study was built secretly for him on the roof of the Senate wing of the Capitol, which he occupied for twenty years. He was „.Vor, fhe privilege of the floor of both House and Senate- so he could consult men who had known Lincoln. He studied carefully the life and writ ings of Lincoln, and has studied every extant protograph and painting of the martyr President. His conception of Lincoln is differ ent from others in that it presents Lincoln in a more smiling and more animated mood than is generally de picted. The smiling yet gentle and tender character of the eyes 5« espec 4 ially notable. is The War's Three Phrases "They shall not pass," said the des perate Frenchman. The Boche tide beat against him.

During the first week that the calf was taken from the cow, it was fed a pound of milk for each eight pounds of live weight. In a little over a month the calf weighed 134 pounds when it was sold for $26.54. The milk which the calf did not use also sold and the money earned was thereby was enough to keep the cow, thus making the price received for the calf a net profit. Last month the received for the milk amounted by money to $15.39, and from the present indi cations it will exceed $20 this month. of of to ers, ter ties, ed Middletown To Have Baseball Team.

Take Measures To Control Sugar Prices Tentative agreements on the part of sugar refiners of the country to control prices through a curtailment of resales and speculation within the trade, were entered into with the De partment of Justice last Thursday. They propose to do this by refusing to resell to their customary purchas ers, where it was found that the lat ter were selling in excessive quanti ties, thereby making hoarding and speculation possible. The refiners also reappointed the committee of refiners which function ed during the war with the Hoover Food Administration, with the sug gestion that this committee meet from time to time with officials of the De partment of Justice to determine rea sonable margins of profit to be al lowed refiners, wholesalers and retail dealers. the of So M. the con the there ses * The RADIATOR REPAIR WORK Done and Guaranteed FORD AGENTS ■ Authorized which a to news F.
