Meskill in sending recruits to the town farm agriculturists. Superin- tendent George Kibbe states that all i in readiness at the town farm on’ Rocky Hill avenue to raise record crops, but it is almost impo!llgla to secure help. The regular inmates who have been at the home all winter are now preparing to leave to work elsewhere during the summer months and\many of these who are left afe physically incapable of doing hard work. To relieve the situation Chair- man Riley hopes to get the.co-opera- tion of the court. Already Judge Mes- kill has sent a number of men to the town farm instead of to jail. Al- though the court doés not sentence the men to work on the farm, a jail sentences is imposed and the prisoner is given his choice of going to Hart- ford and be kept in durance wvile or of going on probation .and working at the town farm. If Chairman Riley’s views are shared by the court many more enmiployes will:arrive there short- iv. The chairman of the board thinks { it may be necessary to engage a guard to supervise the forced laborers while they work and has suggested the hir- ing of one or two Home Guardsmen or City Guardsmen to act in this ca- pacity and preveut any of the labor- ers from taking French leave. Expect Increased Crops. ‘Mr. Riley has been informed by Su- perintendent Kibbe that a larger crop than usual of corn, beans, potatoes and grain will be raised on the town farm and the hay crop will be mate- rially lessened inasmuch as the city wil] not require any hay for fire de- partment horses. Already Mr. Riley has ordered 100 bushels of seed pota- toes for use at the town farm end now finds that he needs 100 bushels more. Mr. Riley hopes to be able to secure a more advantageous price. This year practically all available land at the town farm will be cultivated if help can be secured = ‘oday Chairman Riley, made ar- rangements to turn over to the coi‘y gardens committee for domestic use a large plot of city property at the corner of Ellis street and Rocky Hill avenue, across from the Lawlor prop- erty. This will be cut into small plots ang allotted to those who apply. \ 'BELL-ANS ‘Absolutely Removes ' Indigestion. Onepackage provesit. 25cat all druggists. It tells you where to go and how get there.

Police detectives are seouring t! city in an attempt to locate an oil- cloth peddler-and prod his memory relative t§ the return of change to’| purchasers: Mrs. Ida Wesker of 58 Smalley street is responsible for the search, complaint having been madé at police headquarters yesterday af- ternoon relative to her ." experience. She says that the peddler called at 1 the house and tried to sell her a roll of oilcloth for $10. This seemed ex- cessiv® and she refused to pay that sum. She offered $5 and it was ap- parently accepted. She had only a $10 bill and offered it with a provision that ‘the change be returned-as soon as the merchant could visit a nearby store. p An hour went by and no peddler or change réturned.
