The Bulletn has the largest elr- culation of any paper in Eastern Connecticut, and from three to four 3 times larger than that of any In} Norwich. It is delivered to over: 2,000 of the 4,063 houses fn. Nor-3 wich, and read b: ninety-three per 3 cant. of the people. In Windham § it is dolivered to over 900 hou: in Putnam and Danlelson to ovor; 1,100, ang in el of these places it £ is considered the local daily. Eastern Connecticut has forty- nine towns, one hundred and sixty- five post office districts and forty- one rural free delivery routes. he Bulietin is sold in every CIRCULATION | cause of an equally large per cent. valuable lives is not ‘made apparent |- enough, or taken sufficient cognizance of by the law, or the authorities. The man who has not too much sense to A1l up with intoxicants as a prepara- tion for pleasure on an automobile trip has not a sufficient realization of the respousibility he is assuming to ever be allowed to run a motor carriage; and if he owns it and does not know that excessive liquor drinking increas- es the peril on the road as it decreases his own abllity to conduct the auto- mobile in a sane and safe should be debarred by law from hav- ing charge of such a motor upon the public highways of the state: These“offenders are the ones who flee and leaygytheir victims dying in the stree ’n they can; who will neither mak@ Feparation nor disclose their identity when so crippled that they cannot get away. In fact, they are the men who bring scandal upon automobllists everywhere by their conduct and create public prejudices and cause regulations which are am annoyance to decent, careful and re- sponsible drivers in.many states. It Is somewhat surprising that the makers of law do not by special pro- Visions drive this class of chauffeurs and owners entirely out o business. Not only the safety of the public re- quires it. but the well-being of the men themselves makes it absofutely necessary Ahat they should be restrain- ed from their drunken and wild au- toraobile career. The “Joy rider” is too often a death-dealer. AN ECONOMIC USE OF GOATS. The brush eating Instinct of the Angora goat is being successfully demonstrated on the Lassen National forest in California, where they are cutting trails for fire guards through the brushy areas on the slopes of the mountajns. The animals, which number 3,000, have been divided into two bands and under the care of the herders are graz- ed within certain well defined areas so that their work may be concentrated on the brush within those limits. The result is that they have practically nearly all the brush in the either by eating it up entirely barking, as in the case of the THE BULLETIN'S ILLUSTRATED BOOK. 1t is not surprising that a great deal of interest is felt In the pictures which { are to be a feature of the 230th an- niversary Jubllee book—what they are to be and what they are to repre- sent. Portraits of the officers and chairmen of committees and the guests of the city will number a score or two and then there will be photographs of the decorated streets, the parade, the performances and objects of spe- clal interest, it is expected, will make about 50 pages. Where there are large assemblages of people the pictures will " be made large -enough to make the identification of citizens possible. There are quite a number of these photographs which will be given a full page. It is the purpose of The Bulletin to make this book so attractive that it will be in prompt demand when it ‘appears in December for delivery. The Bulletin has had submitted to it for examination about 200 photo- graphs already, and expects to have others submitted. The letterpress and the illustrations Will represent the best part of the an- niversary celebration, and the book will be prized for its accuracy and value by Norwich people everywhere.

There has been such a cool atmo- sphere and such & reduced demand for ice this season on account of the trust prices, that to save their faces the city icemen have decided that a bar- gain price Is a winning price even so Jate as this in the season. This shows that the icemen are getting wise— that they know how to increase the demand. A letter addressed to the editor of The Bulletin called attention 10 the New York break in prices; and the Newark, ws bhas this to #ay. of the sacond reduction in price of ice in that city: “Another cut in the price of ice goes Into effect today (Tuesday). It i8 at one and the same time a good thing for the consumer and a bad thing for certain wholesalers. It pats ice within reach of the poor and it is an indictment of those wholesalers ‘who kept the price up until they were forced by competition io put it down. To the average citizen it must seem as if this whole business would bear in- westigation. If ice can now be sold at a profit at the rate of $3.50 a ton, why could it not have been sold at Jess than 36 a ton in the early part of the season or at least a month ago? “Of course the answer to this from %‘whuleualers is ‘easily anticipated. . will say, no doubt, that cool weather and economy on the part of the consumer in the use of ice has left @ price-reducing supply on their hands. ‘Phat may or may not be true, If it s true it reduces the matter to a ‘stmple question of supply and de- fmand. That this may apply, and does apply, to natural ice no one will deny, but how it can be made to fit the {manufacture and sale of artificial ice Jthe consumer, in the.light of the avail- heavy mansanita bushes. At the be- ginning of the experiment there was some doubt as to the goats' willing- ness to eat the manzanita, but it has been found that where there is little else they will just as readily attack it as any other bushes. The grazing season was so late this year on the Lassen forest that the goats did not begin operations until about the middle of June, but since then they have made rapid progress and the result promises to be a suc- cess from every point of view. 'The trails will first be opened and then Kept free of sprouts by the goats, sav- ing the government considerable labor in cutting them out by hand, .as has been done heretofore, while the brushy forage which otherwise would have been wasted will support 3,000 goats very comfortabl !

The end of the war was not the end of their achievements. At this day, near- Iy fifty years after the civil war's end, it is an open question whether the grandest achievements of these vet- erans were In the field or in civic life. They came from war in triumph and entered civil life as no army ever did before; and as an organization their song has been for more than four dec- ades, “My Country, "Tis of Thee!” The betterment of citizenship, the better- ment of their country, has been their prayer and pride and purpose, and the lessons of charity and patriotism they have taught are mo less significant than the victories they won.
