Noodles Fagan, King of the news- boys, addressed the entirs student body of the Norwich Free Academy in Slater hall Monday afternoon at 120 o'clock. He took for his subject, The Advantages of Education and for a full forty minutes he bore down on his audience with a rapid-fir2-gun-de- livery of excellent advice. He warned the boys against the use of cigarettes, tobacco of all kinds and strong drink. In abstaining from their use lies the keynote of success. oys of stterling qualities and education are in great demand to_ fill' responsible and good | paving positlons. Mr. Fagan told of | hundreds of girls who are holding po- | sitions of trust and high salary. He told the young people to take advan- tage of every moment while they are in the school building as they are to be able to take the time to get a high school education. He com- plimented Principal Tirrell on his ex- celient school building, and hoped that the inside was as good as the outside, meaning by that that the student ould cooperate in their studies to | keep their lessons up to as high a | standard_as the building itself. Mr. | Fagan intermingled many humorous stories in his falk and kept all on the verge of laughter. He told them wWhat | their education meant to their par- | ents ana showed them the many pit- | falis that lay open to the unsuspecting young people, everywhere. When Noodles concluded his address the burst of applause showed just what the students thought of his talk. Pro- fessor Tirrell thanked Noodles and | said that he had given one of the best and most helpful talks ever given in the school hall. To show their ap- prectation of his wonderful words the students gave Noodies a standing vote of thanks, mm&y Ball and Reception Given by Norwich Cit‘y" tet. Guards—U. S.

MAKING COMPLAINT OVER HIGH FREIGHT RATES. | Shipper Claimed Them Unjust Between | New Haven and Eagleville. and of the Central Vermont Railroad company, who allege that the rates| or charges made by the companies for | transportation of freight between Ne Haven. Canzan and Berlin and Bagh ville and Mansfield are and_unjust. The petitloners were represented by Attorney E. S. Plckett of New Haven. Benjamin I. Spock represented _the New Haven company and Bdward Tay. lor the Central Vermont company It was testified by an agent of a brick concern that the rate for a ton of brick from Berlin to Willimantic was 701-2 cents, while from Willimantie to Eagleville, a half dozen miles, it was 80 cents. In cross-examination the attor- | ney for ihe railroad brousht out that| unreasonable | the brick contract price was based on the freight rate and the manufacturers will get just as much whether it is high or low. James F. Fenton of Norwich, a con- tractor who is erecting five new build- ings for the Connecticut Agricultural| college at Storrs, was the next Wwit-| ness. He declared that the rates had been excessive since January 1. Be- | cavse of the poor freight facilities at| Bazleville he has been obliged to pay demurrage charges. MAYOR MURPHY ATTENDED.

Municipal milk inspection was called a Joke by G. Warren Davis, president of the Connecticut Dairymen's associa- tion, ‘in his annual address at the con- eniion of that body in Meriden on Tuesday. He also sald the general in- spection of milk, as conducted at the present time, was unjust to the Pro- ducers, and favored placing the in- spection of milk under the jurisdietion of ihe state board of health. He also condemned a legislature which, he said, would grant $4,000 for souvenirs and refuse $500 for dairymen's insti- tutes. He referred in criticlsm to & statement of Governor Baldwin that the farmers could get better resuits if | they would harness the bacteria as | well as the horses, and sald that in his { opinion the agriculturists should be | given credit for the fight that they are | making against bacteria. Later he praised the governor because he had vetoed the grant of $4,000 for the sou- { venir P Davis said further that he was {Mrs. E. A.
