The Bulletin has the largest clr- culation of any paper in Eastero Connecticut, and from three to four tmes larger than that of aumy n Norwich. It is delivered to over 8,000 of the 40563 houses in Nor- wieh, and read b: ninety-three vu; cent. of the people. In Windham i it is delivered to over 900 houses, i in Putnam and Danlelson to over 3 1,100, ana in al' of thess places ai H 1s considered the locsl dally. Eastern Connecticut has forty- nine towns, one hundred and sixty- five post office districts and forty- £ one rural free delivery routes. 3 The Bulletin is sold in every $town and on all of the R. F.

Be happy yourself and contribute to the happiness of other folks. s ‘“That's the secret of long life. The happy fellow may live ten days in one, or 800 vears in one lifetime. You see, he has ten experiences to the sober- faced fellow’s one. Sam says, speak- ing to the newspaper men: “Have a lot of fun, see many strange things, work, keep away from drink, keep honest, don’t grumble.” This is no new conception of ly- ing, for many decades ago a little darky, upon being asked how old he was, replied: “Jedged from the fun I'se had I'se a hundred, but counting from my birth I'se jest three!” The ability of some people to get ten times as much out of life as others do is recognized, and that we should most of us get more pleasure out of life is no dream. Forget how old you are and just breathe in the gladness of life—get into the electrical current and move with the spirit and elasticity which lasts. THE HARVEST FIELDS. The cry from the harvest fields of Kansas for 15,000 able-bodied men not only calls attention to the fertility of that state but to the source of Amer- ican wealth and national prosperity. The mines do mot yield the millions which the farms do. The cry for help from Kansas has mere interest in it Tor all of us than we think at a mere glance. Kansas expects to take from her fertile acres $250,000,000 this year. A western paper, picturing this gold- en harvest of the great west, sayi “The harvest moving northward will soon be in Nebraska and then in Jowa and the Dakotas, and, soon after, CIRCULATION 1901, average ....... £ 1905, average......s.s 1906, average. . 6,569 v ], 1 79 i % R T A{TENTION! Will all persons who took part in the parade in 1859, on the occasion of the bicentennial celebration, send their names in to The Bulletin? THE APPROACHING FOURTH. Norwich is approaching the Fourth under unusual eircumstances; and & week hence, with her rampant patri- otic manifestations suppressed and her civie pride predominant, she proposes te do henor to her two and a half centuxies of communal life by eivic ‘manifestations worthy of her people @nd her achievements. There is no doubt that the change will be pleas- ing to a great majority of our people; and also be appreciated by our 30,000 guests on the occasion, If one of the quietest Fourths in her history, it promises aled to.be one of the liveli- est and most memorable. While it is to be a sane and safe celebration, it promises also to be historic and great. There can be spirit and enthusiasm worthy the day without excessive noise, and the lesson should really be worth a good deal to ourselyes and our meighbors. The effort being made all ever the country to have a sane and safe Fourth is in the interest of human- ity—for the elimination of the peril rather than the suppression of noise. The National Playground association is endeavoring to divert the patrotic activities of a future gemeration from the toy pistols and cannons, the can- non erackers, dynamite torpedoes, sky rockets and such dangerous explosives, to the historic pageants—pleasanter and more Instructive forms of ex- pressing enthusfasm and patriotism. Norwich s only one of many cities which have prohibited fireworks this year, and there will be more do so next year. Young America is not to blame for its nolsy recklessness, for it has abundant precedent in follow- ing what is admittedly a bad exam- ple: and it is now up to their elders, who are the chief complainants, to lead in the saner and safer way, and by example and generosity to show that the way which seems so sensible 10 age is a better way because just as enjoyable and less perilous, THE SIGEL TRAGEDY. The Sigel tragedy has given a set- back to the work of young women among the Celestials of New York, and the questionable taste and peril of the work has been made as clear as day by a trunk horror. The Cath- olic missions at the metropolis have never permitted this work among the Chinese to be done by any but de- vaoted young men and the wisdom of their policy is, in the light of what has happened, highly commendable. The practice of having young women devoted to the Christianization of one or two Chinamen and making private visits to their places of residence or Tooms, is not in good taste, and it is doubtful if it has ever been tolerated elsewhere as it has heen in this coun- try: What is to hinder their being attracted to the Y. M.C.A. and taken in charge of by competent young men? To be sure, a tragedy of this kind does not happen often, but one such i enough to awaken all parents to the danger of the work—and to the wisdom of withholding their daugh- ters from it. As a fad it has had its day, and in future the Chinaman should be turned over to less suscepti- ble and more capable workers when it comes to self-protection and self-de- fense. THE SECRET OF LONG LIFE. Some men think that death is un. matural and a punishment for sin and others think that it is the limit of human energy and endurance and as natural as going to sleep. While the average life is only about forty vears, the greatest students of the human race see no reason why it should not be 140 years. After a life of study of life and its possibilities and death and its causes, Metchinkoff declares that there is no such thing as natur- al death among men—that all are due to disease and accident. While he saas 1o reason why the average should not be 140, it is not likely that he would think that Samuel G. Blythe's idea that man might live 800 years in one hundred, was a fdiculous con- clusion. ‘What 1s in a name is clearly shown by what is in the mind of Mr. Blythe, who says: “If you have a sense of humor, for among the rolling hills of Washing- ton. Upon the grain garnered by the army of workmen depend the living of the farmers, the payment of the oills of the merchants, the earnings of the rallroads, the enterprise of 2| builders and the investment of capi- tal a thousand miles from the wheat fields. Upon whether the yleld is small or large rests the purchase of mere necessities, or of luxuries, depends, it may be, whether the New England tourist, bored with the menotonous plains, is to receive a dividend from his cotten mill stoc! The ability of the farmers to buy is the electric current of grosperity, and when the crops are abundant the wheels of industry whirl and the de- mands for supplies of every kind is constant and generous. OFFICIAL BLUNDERS. Inaceurate reports of disease from official boards do not increase pub- lic confidence in their findings or re- spect for their ‘profession. Ohio has a medical board at Columbus and it appears to be distinguishing itself for its lack of knowledge. Every dog suspected of having rabies is found to have “the bacilli of rables present,” but like dogs sent to New York are reported to be free from them. Tis- sue taken from a patient suffering from tuberculosis was sent to this Columbus board and it was pro- nounced a case of virulent diphtheria, and the doctor was sharply reprimand- €d for not making an earlier report. No wonder the Toledo Blade, noticing these grave mistakes, takcs ,occasion to say that “for our part we wish to state emphatically that the board which cannot recognize the difference between the bacillus of tuberculosis and that of diphtheria will not be per- mitted to frighten us into shouting ‘mad dog’ It has the authority of the state behind it, but it has been proved that it lacks the authority of practica] knowledge.” Such blunders as these are inde- fensible and inexcusable. EDITORIAL NOTES. The swimming pool at Mohegan park is well patronized by the boys. 1t is a fine place for a bath. The long vacation opens up all right for the small boy, but how it will end with him no one can tell. If this hot wave does not scorch out congress, nothing that it is lkely to come up against this season will. It is more than probable that the Norwich boys will invent at least one new way to get into a cireus, mext week. If Colonel Bryan does not care long- er to keep in the public ey, it is mot likely that he will surrender the pub- lic ear. Happy thought for today: That-wo- men would rather dye than let people know that they are becoming gray, is no joke. " When the celebration is all rounded out, and we look back upon it, we shall be surprised by what was dene, not what was The editor in pajamas writing an ed- itorial upon the North pele fllustrates to what lengths the fraternity will go just to keep cool. Poor, perspiring humanity has the comfort of realizing that this is first class corn weather. It means some. thing geod later on The founders of Norwich never thought that “Swallow-all" would be- come the heart of one of the prettiest cities in New England. — The city of sufficient size to have in constant use sight-seeing automoblles ought to be too well trained to call them Rubberneck wagons. ——— If Jack Frost could see us now he would taunt us that it was just what we were yearning for when he was do- ing his best to kesp us coel. President Taft believes in the re- vival of the American merchant ma- rine. That is the thing that will put us on a par with other great nations. Norwich will have Old Glory at the peak for three days, and if the spirit of independence does not last through the celebration we shall be mistaken. Two weeks from now we shall all be prepared to stand an examination upon the ancient history of Norwlich, if we give due attention to the pro- gramme. The Bristol Press points out that Norwich is the city that is gging to have three Fourths of July this year. Yes, and every day will be worthily celebrated. The senator who.wants to appoint elght deputies for State Highway Commissioner Macdonald does not ap- pear to realize that the commissioner could boss that job best. Khicker—Do people e e hang on his ey were “That's it,” was the reply, “1 have to keep it in.” “Put it down!” said I, knowing well this is easier said than done. I have since wondered how many of us are keeping our worst selves hid up, Thought has myeh to do with making appearances; Lut it does not’ make us aj ex: ectly as we are. Mind makes the man, rot clethes or pretenses, and we are often taking an evil minded man for a rood fellow. If we had to be judged in this world by our thoughts, instead of by our appearances, or relative stations, we should be more careful vhat the mind entertained. Some of us kave'measly minds tull of g:eludh:& jealousy and ~revenge. To rid of thise evil qualities is to be lifted up. 1, juas, told by an appreciative friend Iy that I was good natured. This was meant * for a compliment, but ¢ tsely examined it doesn’t mean so mvch. By the law of contraries it has tween shown that the good-natured per- scn can be the most ill-natured fiend lu the world. 1 well knew a blessed 1zan who wl: :.}ll s lpnk:‘nl“ql;:l be- i 0od, but his wife'’s qualifying ve- Solnder ivas:- ~¥-a-a-st I¢ he domt ret his dander up!” It takes time to gt a good-nat person’s dander u|p ard it takes time to get it down. Old Koger's horse was a long time start- g but when it did start everybody eared the track. It does not,do to k too much upon good nature— is not as good as it seems. It is erly nature inert—when it does get®n a fury, Furieso can not he more furi- cus. Good nature stands for a hurri- care of ill-nature later on. Don’t for- get it! . The peony is one of the finest June owers, notl(hstanding the swath the e has cut as the queen of flowers from Wood's Holl to the vale of Cash- ivere. It is not so great in song and story as the rese, but it is bigger in ite garden, Its commercial value is very mueh less than that of the rose, for the marketing value of the rose is exgelled by na other flower we know of. 1t is a source of profit all the year rcund, and in countries like Persia, where it is grown #or its ofl, its mat:h- iows beauty is seen as nowhere clse. Rut the rose is a cheaper flower than the peony in catalogues, where new seedling peonies figure at $300 a root. The newest peonies cost three or four times as much as the newest dahlias, the rarest of which this year are held «af $10 & plant. But many peonies are fragrant and their odor is pleasing to 1. 0st people, although it affects some as does the odor of the poppy, Which to me is unbearable. We are all hoping that the weather for the celebration of the 250th anni- versary of the founding of the town will be as auspielous as was that of the autumn of 1859, when the 300th a1 niversary was becomingly. observed, “Ik Marvel,” speaking of that time, of which he was a participant, says: “The sutumn weather was fine; long streams of jubilant people filled all th £reens and highways of the little town; th> brisk breezes of the morning laps- ed into that sunny noon-tide still- ress which put all the world into easy, rcceptive humor, and under the huge tent—all besprent with streaming pen- ts—was gathered a.great, festive crowd, who by their cheeriness and Windly listening repeated the outside surniness of the air.” Donal G. Mitch- pen and voice are still now, but pretty word picture of the scens , which he has left for us, is bet- ter than any photograph could be. Nor- ich todey i$ booked for a bizzer event, but we can hardly hepe that it wili be better, The Norwich of '59 did el enough. It was one of M ters who said: sisters taught me how to live in Heav- en—they forgot that I had got to live in the world first” That is a mis- take not confined to the teaching in convents, for it is a fault more or less prevalent. What we need is to be for- tified against the temptations and pit- falls of this world. True living here day by day is redemption to the human soul. Golden rule practices day by day is a good enough preparation for a future Uife. We fall because we pre- fer to make the unit of time year by year. This is too long a_stride for the human beingy—too much of a tax on our memories and upon our ener- gies. Those who simplify life by car- rving out their good intentions day by day there is some hope of, but not for those who take their chances by the vear unmindful of each day's transac- tions. In one of her letters to her daughter Mrs. James G. Blaine wrote: ‘I am a great believer in the rights of rea- son—the privilege of thinking for your- self” 1t would be well if thero were millions like her. We emancipate the slaves, but there is no haste shown in emancipating the mind. The emanci- pated mind is increasing and in this year 1909 is more numerous than ever before—but we are still trained to think along prescribed lines, and many of us become worried if wé find free- dom. No man has a mortgage upon the human mind—no wise government would think of abridging its powers. Rational thought should be encouraged and irrational thought should never be endorsed “wisdom.” There is too much of this going on in the world now. What we need is kood thinkers and the unbridled thought which stands for progress. Being hitched to an antediluvian idea is not freedom. The June firefly is starring the night once more. He is an inoffensive, noc turnal wanderer and his only attrac- tion is his flashlight. His partner is the glow worm in the grass and ho; Nature came to declare that the twain should not be equipped alike for flight man cannot discover, and more than he can tell how these natural electric lights are operated since it is a case of illumination at will without any combustion that he knows anything about, It was Pliny who said of these brilliant little creatures: “Surely these glo-wormes come duly at thelr set daies; these keep time with the wood- hen star of heaven, as if they were linked to that star by some close affinitie.” Bvolution does not explain how the lantern-bearer of the air came to be the partner of the crawling lan- tern-bearer in the'grass. Great minds find_many little things in nature which they cannot fathom. \We know the of Norwich, but who can tell the age of these hills and vales, of these water courses, of these rocks, or of the thousands of Woulders scattered along our felds and over our beaches. It was Hugh Miller who found that 6,000 years was represented by twenty feet of sandstone and that its full depth was 1300 times that; and that would make nine mil- lion years for the red sandstone alone, and ‘we have red sandstone at Port- land which shows nature was working here in_the red sandstone age, too; and Hugh Miller was regarded as a wild man. ' After him came Sir Willlam Thompson, who said the earth was 30.000.000 years old, @nd he was a brave man: and then came the com- puter who from the wear of the rocks and other signs said it was 240,000,600 years old. Then the men who found corals on the top of mountains which only live in deep seas came and they confirmed this. What's the age of Ann? Well, Ann wasn't one millionth part as old as geologic Norwich is, whatever her age may have been. it s only the w 4 goden which ex- They named her Hannah for her grandmother, but as time went on they called her Nan in apology for its grim-\ ness. However, the name must have B e e o leats for alt e grew up looking “N’n"kl.!‘w llldlh. —'l:lwofth‘u:lth .:u' cyrly r and_gen rettiness, her state of mind was M&dly formal. Always she was positive as to her likes, dislikes, wishes and preferences. ‘When other little girls stood on one foot with finger izingly in mouth, Nan knew what she wanted and got it before their minds were made up. When she grew up she took the trait along with her. lla'lud, she elaborated on it; for, besides being sure of her own mind, she was sure of what oth- er peopl: minds were or should be. So ‘she enthuslastically prodded them inte hasty conclusions, to their great indignation and subsequent embar- barrassment when they finally dis- covered what their preferences really were. You mark my words” said Aunt Jane, who had money and hence the assurance to speak her mind fregl: “you mawk my words! That girl is setting out to make some good man mighty miserable! And he'll be sur- prised, for she cemtainly is to lpok at. You wouldn't think she was so set. She won't let him call his soul his own!"” Nan certainly had the habit of being certain about things. “If that was my child,” she'd say sweetly, yet firmly, to some worried mother, 1 shouldn't lec it rule me that way! You will spoil its whole futyre life by encouraging it to be overbearing!” Or else, sitting upright, in pink in- dignation, she would exciaim: “Good- ness! Don't tell me Mary's husband talked that way to her! Why, if he were my husband I shouldn't stand i! I should assert myself! These girls don't seem th have a bit of independ- ence. “Why, Harry Brown scatters ci- gar ashes all over the house and Tom Phelps actually does wood carving in the living room and their wives meek- ly endure it Nan would say to her married sister: It she were my maid I'd very soon stop her staying out so late evenings! 1t isn't good management and I speak to her about it!” To her cousin she would say: “If T were living in that house T wouldn't be 0 afraid of the landlord! Td havs things fixed the way I wanted them" this garden which defies his art and to which he comes back in admiration. 1t illustrates the difference between natural and artificlal arrangements of plants. The landscape gardener creates a picture by arrangement and prunine of plants as an artist by mixture and contrast of form and color makes a picture upon canvas. Man assembles plants from the ends of the earth and he makes the plants of all climates follow their natures in his garden plot from March to November. In these days the dahlia garden which does not held specimens from Mexico, England, Scotland, Holland, Germany and France Is not up to date, and yet the ordinary cultivator of these flowers may be totally ignorant of thelr origin and also of their names. Some people see mo sense or fitness In the named flower, but to intelligent persons they make the garden all the more interest- ing. They individualize the plants, they honor greatness and give play to the alert mind. Some people think that life s all fret and worry and they frankly so define it. It never occurs to them that life is what one makes it. Some people ac- cpmulate trouble just as others accu- mulate money and they make the most of thelr crosses, while they wonder why some folks never have any. Ev- erybody has trouble in this world. A part are satisfied with what seems to come to them and a part just get out and look for it. Some carry trouble as if it was heavy—others carry it as it it was light. Some sit down with their troubles and compare notes, and they get to.a stage of life where double trouble seems to be their portion. They do not bear up and smile and the Lord doesn’t appear to make their burdens light—tor they haven't faith and de- cline to let him. SUNDAY MORNING TALK THE WORSHIP OF SUCCESS. - Far be it from me to introduce any ¢@iscordant notes in the symphony of appreciation and congratulation as yeung men and women in all parts of the land go forth from school and cc'lege into business or professional life, or the routine ministries of the hime, of to seem to oppose the coun= sel that is being given them by the baccalaureate preachers and com- mencement ofators. I, too, look upon tliese “fair, young graduates” as the Fope of the nation, capable of recruit- g its life, of bringing to pass reforms that are now only half accomplished ana perhaps hardly initiated, of mak- ing tht next twenty-five years in the kistory of the country the brightest, most signtficant period it has ever known. Moreover, the young people equip- ped with intellectual training need to be told, as ths“ are being told, that trey are but at the beginning of their lubors and that they should propose for themselves certain definite ob- jectives, to obtain which they must be wiling to toil and sacrifice. When you boil it down, there is only one iruth, or perhaps one serles of truths, worth putting into any address to a bedy of bright, capable young people. “You have had great privileges. You kave but one chance with your life Nobody succeeds who is not willing to rork hard. Get into the fight. Bear rour share of the load. Keep your ¢ve on the goal. Make the most of yourself.” So argue and exhort the battalion of commencement orators ‘from one €14 of the land to the other, and their v.ord should be heeded. But one mere word should be spoken. Success is a most desirable goal; but the worship of success in itself is a_harmful prac tcs, for when we in America use the word success, nine times out of ten we are thinking of the piling up of merey or the attainment of fame; and to urge a boy or girl to strive for suc- cess without telling them what suc- cess really is, is often to start them an the wrong track. For as a matter of fact perhaps half of the people— to make a moderate estimate—who began their life work determined to srceeed, do actually fail; that is, they el of accomplishing’ what = they * cught they would when they looked down the years and set their hearts on some cherished object. Some ob- slacle has interposed. Health failed, or reverses came on; perhaps duty tiward others requjred a personal socrifice. Perhaps they were caught W a nmetwork of circumstances that scemed to prevent their onward march, and so they come along to middle life coseious of haying missed the mark, a- one of them put it in my h the other day, “I am a midale- fuilure, Now _all i does not make it of little of importance whether or not we strive our utmost; but it dees help u¥ to broaden our ideas as to what o Is for, as to the real nature of success, and ¥t leads us on to this conclusion, that a man may make a fai'ure of his sacceed with his life. an's motto, it she had been re- Q to carry it painted a ban- ner, would have been, “If I were in your thin, oa)lh?'!( of Nan's.

MUSIC AND DRAMA Herbert Trench has decided to open the Repertory thater in London Sep- tember next with “King Lear.” Weber's theater in New York will be managed hereafter by Mr. Weber jointly with Klaw & Erlanger. Raymond Hitehcoek is acting in “King Dodo,” at the Délmar Garden musical theater in St. Louls. John Philip Sousa has composed a new operetta, having the title, “The Glassbowers.” It will be produced by the Shuberts. Billy Burke will begin a second sea- son in ‘Love Watches" at Powers' the- ater, Chicago, in August. She will be seen in a new play in New York to- ward the end of the year. “The Yankee Mandarin” is a new comic opera by Reginald De Koven and Bdward Paulton, which is heing produced at the Majestic theater in Boston. The New Netherland theater com- pany, recently incorporated, will build a theater at Nos. 137 to 146 West For- ty-eighth street, New York. The house will be used by William A. Brady as the New York home of Miss Grace George and his other stars. T. Tamamaoto. the best Japanese actor speaking English on the Ameri- can stage, who will be seen this com- ing season in the production_of “An American Widow,” made his debut in the Nagova theater, Japan, in 1891 He has played English-speaking parts in_“The Heir to the Hoorah” and “The Offenders.” In “The Climax,” Edward Locke's phenomenally successful play of mu- sical theme, there are to be four eom- pandes on tour besides the one at pres- ent appearing at Dalys theater in New York. Every nook and corner of the Eden Musee,” New York, has some,epecial feature that is interesting. In the Winter Garden moving pictures are shown hourly afternoons and evenings, and visitors are received from abroad every week and there is al sented the latest and _best that can be obtained. The wonderful fotofone, which shows singers and actors actually presenting their pro- ductions, s a_part of each exhibition. They are talking pictures with the words and music perfectly synchro- nized to the movements of the artists. The afternoon and evening concerts by Prof. Kapussy and his Royal Blue Hungarian orchestra present elaborate programmes of classical and popular selectioins which are fast making the Musee a great musical center.

A project looking to the purchase by the city of the Hotal Clifford property, at the cormer of South Main and Bl abeth streets, is being quite extensive 1y talked up, says the South Norwa Eentinel. As rem no definite steps have Leen taken fo bring thie deal about, bat those who faver it are enthusias- ti~ aver the bilities. It is stated in this connection that the sale price of the property is 385, 000, and that repairs to the building vculd hot cost over $5,000, bringin the total cost to the eity up to $70,00 The {dea is to request the legisiature to give the ofty the right to iseue four per cent. bonds to this extent, and it is claimed that by renting a portien of the building, as at present, the eity vould be practically at no expense for inierest money. The Interest on the Tcur per cent. ponds would be $2.800. At the present time it is sald the Connecticut company and the drug stcre rent together for 32,400 a vear Tren it is pointed out that the cafe covld be rented as a store and that @cme of the local lawvers would -un- doubtedly be glad to hire office room v the building. So much for revanue. As to the city. quarters, the adherents of the idea say tiat in the building eould be housed the city councll, the police department, e town ‘court, also a revenue pro- ducer, the water commissioners and tax collector. It is also claimed that the fire department could be nicely taken care of at the rear of the hotel, where there {5 land an which a fire Leuse could be constructed. Lawrence kas the Disease, To Lawrence has taken the disease that was reported as swelling New Bedford up to thinking it was to be the second ‘ty in Messachusetts. And Lowell comes to the rescue of Worcester with doubts similiar to those expressed by fpringfield. The disease Is said to be megacephalitis, and it is not fatal eo for. It is explained that the disease indicates that the building of big mills i1 Lawrence has gone to its head and made it see if not guadruple. But the ambitions of these Massachu- setts cities are all right. If they eut the suits too large that roes not mat- ter, they are growing. They will make Worcester larger, for they have to get much of the material here. And they ail examplify the benefits of the pro- tective tariff by increasing their work- ing forces by thousands.—Worcester Telegram. That Settied It. The commissioners in lunacy were nonplussed. The man on whose men- tal condition the eourts had appointed them to pass seemed perfectly sane, in spite of all testimony to the ocon- trary. His every action, his every re- mark was rational. They were about to give up in despair when matters took an unmexpected turm. “Oh, doc- tor, permit me to return the nmbrella I botrowed from you last week,” sald the patient. And then, at the thought of earning their fees with no qualms of eon- sclence, the learned men decided that anyone who would voluntarily return a borrowed umbrella should be placed under restraint. This simply proves how trifies will | aver mold our. destinies. e — A Thrilling Reseue. How Bert R. Lean, of Cheny, Wash., was saved from a frightful death is story to thrill the world. “A hard cold,” he writes, “brought on a desperats lung trouble that baffled an expert doctor here. Then I pald $10 to $15 a visit to a lung specialist in Spokane, who did not help me. Then I went to Califor- nia, but without benefit. At last I used Dr. King’s New Discovery, which com- pletely cured me and now T am as well as ever.” For Lung Trouble, Bronehi- tis, Coughs and Colds, Asthma, Croup and Whopping Cough it's supreme. 50c and $1.00.
