ONERS WORK AT GARDENING. The habit of letting the prisoners in Litchfield jail out to do odd jobs of gardening, lawn trimming, etc, is ob- jected to and a bill before the legis- lature prohibits it. One of the sc- lectmen says that 200 people have been driven out of Litchfield by lack of work owing to this prison choring. Another man guarantees to bring six families back to town the week the bill is passed. 'We can’t help feeling that the people who are displaced by this kind of work are not much good. In most country places it is almost impossible to get anyone to do these little domestic services.~~Waterbury American. If the men we:‘e “let”” out to do this if they were ordered out to do it is quite an- other, but in neither case does it seem as if the labor market had been se- riously affected. If there are 200 per- sons engaged in gardening in Litch- field it must be admifted that the percentage is very high, more so that in many other places much lafger than that town. In the absence of an explanation, however, it is eminenily proper to inquire why the prisoners were put to work gardening. Were they hired out by the day or by con- tract or what was it that prompted the sheriff to provide such employ- ment. Prisoners have been seen run- ning the lawn mower in front of the prison at Wethersfield but they have not gone to neighboring yards to trim the trees and cut the grass. There has been some talk about putting prigsoners to work on the highways but nothing -definite has been done about it and as gardening is a Dbit close to road work in general char- acter it would seem as if it might be desirable to know something about conditions under which the garden- ing was done. The principal objection does not lie in the direction of the number of men who have been dis- placed at gardening by the prisoners but how it was that they were given that form of employment. Perhaps the state farm idea is being given a trial in Litchfield. PRI THE JITNEY, Winsted appears to be in favor of the jitney, or automobile bus, and the “Citizen” of that town is explaining the distance Hartford and how such a linc would pay because of the facilities. popular there properly to Jack of steam and trolley The jitney in some communities and hardly any doubt but that managed there is a field for this kind of service in many places during the warm weather when people would rather ride in the open than closed cars. One of the leading manufac- turers of New Britain saw the advan- tages of the automobile in this line a few years ago when the word jitney was unheard of and which by the way has not yet found its way into the dictionary. There is some reason for believing that this kind of will be extended to almost every com- munity where there is any opening for it before long. Patrons, however, would be obliged to pay more for the service than if they rode on the trolley. It was suggested that such service could be made to pay as a regular bus- iness but somehow ' it wa never started. It does not seem possible that a person could be carried by auto from here to Hartford for a dime, the fare on the trolley and dinky, so that the jitney in a place like New Britain for instance would necessarily be re- garded as a luxury for which the pa- trons might be willing to pay more than in a conveyance to be used wholly for convenience. There are a number of transporia- tion companies in various places that derive a good income from automo- bile service which includes lecturers is becoming very is service RALD THURSDAY MARCH 25, 1918.

(Youth's Companion.) On a transcontinmental liner, during a recent voyage from Liverpool to New York, there was a dapper little fellow from Tiondon whose unlimited | conceit made him anything but pop- ular with his fellow-passengers. He was so ready of wit that fie usually had the best of it in repartee. Each time, of course, he became more con- ceited than before. It was a bright Brooklyn school teacher who finally wrought his downfall. One day, in a sheltered spot on fhe deck, some of the passengers were passing the time by playing a game of quotations. As they sat in a semi-circle, each in turn gave a l||l(7(d"0“'7[h(§ first quotation hpgmnmg with “A,” the second with and so on. The special point was to give a quotation suggested in by the preceding one or by Chance some wa the person who had given it. brought the Brooklyn school teacher seventh in line, next to the young man from London. When the young man’s turn came, he looked round with a superior smile and quoted: “Frailty, thy name is woman.” There was an instant’s hesitation; then the clear, level tones of the young teach- er were heard: *“God made him; therefore let him pass for a man!” The roar of laughter thet followed broke up tne game. For the rest of the voyage the dapper young man { thought more and talked less. r;MchLLAN S His friends say he wiil | H. % McMILLAN'S MARCH 25, 26 and 2i THURSDAY, FRIDAY : SATURDAY We Cordially Invite You to Attend Thi RAND SPRING OPENING DISPLAY that is the resolute purpose to main ard of value giving, so that quality shall always be worthy of the pnce troduce you to cessory of Dress. 199-201-203 MAIN ST The Rev.
