_REAL ESTATE DEA iWerd Property Seld—To Become Site of Poultry Industry. Onpe of the most desirable pieces of in MiNord has been acquired John E. and W. J. Holloway, bro- thers. who have purchased the old Howe place lacated at Guif street and New Haven avenue, and which for years was the site of the Eimwood school. The property is to be converted in- to a big poultry plant and in a month it is pianned to have a 300-feot chick- en house cohstructed. It is the inten- tion of the brothers to provide for 10,000 chickens next spring. Natural advantages of the place combine to make it an ideal location for poultry keeping. There is a stream running through it and a large duck pond. The place was originally settled in 3639 and fo? many vears the Elm- wood scheol, conducted by Charles Howe, was a landmark. In the Holloway tamily, beside the parents, there are three brothers, the third being an experienced account- ant who Is located in New York city. The twe beothers live with their par- ents on Rogers avenue and did a good sip6d buwiness in old stamps before becoming interested in poultry raising as a profitable industry—Bridgeport Tetegram.

WESTERLY Games, PUBLIC LIBRARY Completes a Busy Year—Total Circu.latiop 57,562—Plans for Labor Day Observance—Auto Accidents—Recep- tion for Missionary from China — Saturday’s Ball Joseph L. Peacock librarian of the Westerly public library, made a com- prehensive and interesting report of the library work for the past year at the annual meeting of the trustees of the Memorial and Library association held Saturday evening in the trustees room of the Memorial building. M. Peacock reported that the total circu- lation of books for the year was 5 562, an average of 1,030 a week. Di- vided into classes the circulation wa General works 1,984, religious 455. ph osophical 293, sociology 892, philoiogy 191, natural science 723, useful arts 792, fine arts 673, literature 1,368, descri tive and travel 188, biography 1,17 historical 1,083, fiction 42,047. The largest weekly circulation was in the week ending February 26, when 1,315 books were taken out. The smallest number, taken out was in the week ending December 25, the number being 603. The total circulation in- crease for the year was 5879, an aver- age of 12 1-3 per cent. The total number of books added to the library during the vear is 2,504, of which 643 are fiction and 1,861 non-fiction. Dur- ing the last two vears, and since Mr. Peacock has been librarian, more books have been added to the library than it contained when first opened to the public in 1904, The gifts to the library were larger than any other year, 308 books, $00 pamphlets and paper covered books apd 116 maps, etc. The total number of books mended was 4,196 and the total number withdrawn was 1,630 most of these being replaced. The t tal number of books in the library is 25,662, which does not include the gov- ernment works placed there as a re- positary library, Since the registra- tion of a year ago, 2,237 persons have been enroiled as patrons of the library. The reference department of the public library has been greatly im- proved for the public convenience and many hooks of reference have been added, including 66 volumes of national biography dictionary, 15 volumes of American biography dictionary, 20 volumes of the International Encyclo- pedia, 12 volumes of Jewish Encyclo- pedia, and many others, that total over 800 books of reference. The reading room is-supplied with nearly ali the magazines and period- icals 2nd daily and weekly newspapers, besides many periodicals of reference Books are loaned through the libra exchange system, which shows that the library is recognized as a factor of educatian in surrounding towns. By arrangement with the rd of health ¥ precaution is taken to prevent pread of disease the attendinz icians in contagious disease cases being requested to destroy the libra books found on the premises, and cir- culation is suspended in the section affected. A juvenile department has been tablished and will soon be in opera- tion. The large conference room has been fitted with shelves, tables and chairs and supplied with books adapt- ed for juveniles and special attention will be given to this new department of library work. Miss Alice Kennedy will have charge of this department, who is well equipped for the position by reason of her library experience and also as a teacher in the primary de- partment of the public schools. It was considered more beneficial 1o the 1 work to supply Miss © than to put some lacking in library experience in charge of the juvenile department Mr Peacock referred to the cong ed condition he stack rooms Kenned one est- the necessity for increasing accommo- dations to meet the demands, He praised the janitor and his ant for the cleanly condition and good or- der of the building and their unifo: courtesy to all visito; He acknowl- edged the great a ance rendered him by his predecessor, Ethan Wilcox, librarian emeritus, and gave an out- the benefits derived from at- » at, the annual meeting of the American 1 ry xciation. Mr. Peacock made several recommenda- tions to the farther improvement of the library work, which will be given consideration the board of trustees.

At the middle of the seventh’ McKay had done all he could in the box and the management put in Burns, who fin- ished the game out.

Whether this is the result of having reached the mit or not, does not appear. It may conditio: while automobiles of the pleasure and convenience kind are plenty enough on our streets there is a steady in- crease in the substitution of power trucks and delivery wagons for the horse drawn vehicles of that class. So much more of goods of any sort in bulk can be moved and so much more quickly by the motor that its advan- tages are forcing it into use and ‘the increase is plainly visiblie. That means business.—Bridgeport Standard. - A Practically Perfect Preparation. Years of experience have enabled Mr. Fletcher to make Castoria a practi- cally perfect preparation. These years of labor+ the amount of money required to introduce its merits to the public: the investment in its manufacture, including the most modern machinery, mean a vast amount of invested capital. It follows that the greatest care is exercised in the selection of each ingredient, and the. greatest aftention is paid to every detail of its preparation. The result: The practically perfect preparation in the finished product; Fletcher's Cestoria. Herein lies the guarantee of the absolute safety in the use of Fletcher's Castoria for the baby, and the warning against irresponsible makers of imitations and counterfeits. The signature of Chas. H.
