The price of strictly fresh eggs is governed by production. This condition has been overcome with the.storage ar- ticle, through artificial means, but it is the rise and fall in the price of the fresh eggs which govern those which have been preserved. It thus all rests with the hen as to the price of eggs. Telephone Call Builetin Business Office 480 Bulletin Editorial Rooms 35-3 Bulletin Job Jffice 35-2 Willimantic Office, Room 2 Murray Building.

Nothing is more expressive of the value and worth of the tuberculosis sanatorium located here by the state for Bastern Connecticut than the an- nouncement that it has eighty pa- tlents and can accommodate but twelve more. stitution are such that only patients can now be accepted, men’s ward being full, with three on the waiting lst. This situation, when the Institution bhas been opened but a comparatively few months, indicates the appreciation which yed at the opportunity for heaith betterment and the magnificent ser- vice which it is rendering in combat- ing this dread disease. The fact that it is located at an ad- vantageous point for all parts of the two counties, bringing the patients much nearer home than any other sim- tlar state institution is resulting in a much greater use of such advantages than would otherwise be made, How many of the patients would have sought benefit in any other institution had this not been available is difficult 1o estimate. Not only does the treat- ment and care given under the most epproved methods provide the great- set opportunity for restoration of bealth, but it accompiishes it under the most sanitary conditions and re- duces to the lowest point the spread- ing of the disease. It is, therefore, not only a benefit to the sick, but a proteetion for the well. That there is need for .the sana- torfum in this end of the state conld not be better demonstrated and the service it renders will increase with its age, women GOOD ADVICE TO HUERTA. Provisional President Huerta can bardly be expected to be in the frame of mind to accept any suggestions from Porfirio Diaz, but be that as it may, the former great man of Mexico has offered some good advice to the pre. ent dictator, when he urges him to resign in accordance with the de- mands of this country. General Diaz looks at the situation with an eye to the future, and when he advises cgm- pllance with President Wilson's de- mands he is cognizant of the pre- valling conditions and those which are portended. As the former ruler indi- cates there is an opportunity for the display of patriotism, a chance to put country before self, and the interests of the republic ahead of position. Tf Mexico s going to be saved from a calamity the time is ripe for action in accordance with the notes and ad- vice which are being sent to Huerta. Despite reports to the contrary from the republic, each day strengthening of the support which is being given this country’s position by the European natfons. Without for- eign backing, official or financial, Huer- ta presents a sorry picture. He must recognize the inevitable even though taking advantage of the lack of a fixed poliey on the part of this country, and the apparent determination by the administration that intervention by force of arms is the very last in the list of possibfiities. He is playing a waiting game, but fn the meantime conditlons are growing worse and his country ik suffering with no hope for fmprovement. General Diaz well says that in the course he should pursue instead of the one he is pursning, he has the greatest chance to show his patriotism, PRICE OF EGGS. Just at the present time there are other things than meat which are in- teresting the public in the high cost of living and none {8 more prominent in the present schedule of prices than eggs. Strictly fresh eggs are selling today for fifty to seventy-five cents a dozen and the supply is insufficient to meet the demand, The American hen seems to have gone on a strike just at the time when her services are s0 much needed to insure this import- ant article of food and have it strict- ly fresh, This is a preduct in which the cold storage warchou: are supposed to be particulerly interested and they un- questionably are. They have millions of dozens marked end set away for better prices than are now being se- cared for the “cold storage” eggs, though they are demanding prices to net good profits on the storage. This Is the season when the ege productien drops off and the prices indieate it ‘unmietakably, even with these which 8000060000000006900000600004000008000000 5004090002090005 935000009008 00!

It is important not only to Russia and the Jews, but to the entire Christian world. By the finding of Beiliss not guilty a better opipion 1s created of Russian justice, and it is t0 be hoped that there has been oblit- erated forever the idea that murder is committed by the Jews in connection with their religious feasts.

Now that the price of eggs is get- ting beyond the reach of the working- man the Housewives' leagues have an- other opportunity to show that com- petition is the regulator of price. Now that they are making algrettes | out of horse hair those animals which lost courage for fear of becoming use- less should again take notice lest they become worth more dead than alive, General Huerta should reflect upon the opportunity which is within his power to put personality aside for the reestablishment of peace and pros- perity. The time is ripe for such glad tidings, It begins to look as If the admin- istration was trying to make a few jobs go around the entire circle of sup. porters. The disclosure in the Pindell ambassadorial selection shows how much efficiency counts and how vital it is to properly distribute the spoils. If the folly of taking medicine or tablets, the nature of which is un- known, needed demonstration, it was afforded by the two New York young men who found and ate several tab- lets of deadly poison. A very small value is placed on life when such gross recklessness is displayed. Far down in the valley a headlight gleamed, and Carl Wilbur iurned to his fireman. “Here. she comes, Jim,” he an- nounced. “‘Something’s the matter,’ declared Jim, ‘she's running.” ““That's what we'll be doing in haif an hour,” laughed Carl. “It's not often that we have the honor 6f pulling the president and whole Board of Direc- tors. The old girl will have to do us proud tonight.” He glanced affectionately at the huge locomotive panting on the siding. 1 was one of the newest on the division, and with the five cars making up the president’s special it would be better than a mile a minute most of the way after the “eight” had been passed. The Haven scction was on the south slope of the divide, and once in drop- | ping down the grade they had to make | a complete figure eight in order to make the turn, properly apout the spur | of Mount Diavalo. Carl was lost in | speculation as to just how far he could | extend the leviathan, and not until Jim leaned out from the platform in ! front of the fire box did the latter real- ize that Carl was facing toward the approaching train. Carl faced about just as a slip of a | girl in a faded print dress came Tun- ning down beside the track. He hast- ened toward her with a cry. Her face wore the look of some hunted creature. | ‘I can’t stand it any longer, Carl” | she panted, as she half stumbled, haif | threw herself into his arms. “I want you to take me away. Next week, dear,” he soothed, as he patted the curly head resting upon his shoulder. ‘Bear it for a week until I | can get my layoff and welll slip off to | Haven and get married. You can wait that long. can’t you?” LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Canterbury Roads and Affairs. Mr. Editor: Sandwiched the items of news in your 7th I note an article signed “A Tax- | payer of Canterbury,” and pertaining | to deal with facts and incidentally’ the condition of the roads in this poor roadless town, but a person endowéd | only with the intelligence of a “setting | hen” din read understand after | reaing the article that the man who wrote or inspired the same did so eith- er through ignorance or some personal grievance against a member of or the entire board of now retired selectmen. in among sue of Oct. or what sane man can honestly be- lieve that our selectmen (be who they may) or our road surveyors can | keep our roads in good condition un- der the present tem of taxation and of working them? Our books (I use the word books ad- visedly) show that we have the enor- mous sum of something near $1,000 to | squander each year upon the 100 miles | of road that lie within the borders of this town, just ten miserable dollars fon each and every mile, but even inj this case figures lie, for the roads of this town do not receive more than $600 per year in actual labor, or $6 per mile, and the shame for this state of affairs rests not upon the shoulde of our officials, but upon the \:uoa\els' themselves. I made the motion in town meeting that we levy no tax for the roads for | the ensuing year, and by motive was | intended as no slur upon the past, | present or future officials of this town; it was simply an attempt through an indirect method to pull the town away from the angient system of allowing the taxpavers (some of who can't| works and most of them, myself in- cluded, won't work) the privilege of working out their road tax. But my motion was voted down. for the major ity could see no benefit to be derived | by making the change, and in a way | they were right, for we don't work out our tax mow; so why legalize our lit- tle yeariy pastime of “trimming the | town.” They say death and taxes are the only certainties of life, but in Can- terbury the tax part of the saying is open to discussion. And yet to hear the “howl” of Mr, Taxpaver of Canterbury you would be | led to believe that our officials entered upon their duties poor men and retired bleated capit But some one| must howl. Every walk of life has| its “Mr. Taxpayer,” the same as every | hive of bees has its drones: but there this difference, nature has a quick, | sure way of dealing with the drones, while the laws of this free land of ours unfortunately gives a man the privilege and protects him under cer- | tain conditions in his miserable career | of slandering. But, Mr. Taxpaver of Canterbury. If this town has been so terribly mismanaged, why were the se- { lectmen permitted to continue for three | years in office? And if you know or| knew of any unlawful act of theirs| while in office, do vou think that you | have been an honest citizen of this town, to wait until they have retired | from’ office before making it public If our town report, our records and | our cancelled bills are_to be believed | $1,000 was paid on the town debt last| vear, $650 was for state road, $238 was advanced for the state and paid | for sheep killed by dogs, $170 was pafd for a safe that the state ordered the town to purchase, $140 went toward | the cost of a new bridge, and besides all of this current expenses of the year ou have the nerve to! charge the select- men with a debt that occurred before men with a death that occurred before their time and vou deliberately the ing that could possibly their suits, to indirectly insult Christians of this town by intimat- the condition of our roads| interfere or prevent attending church, and you wind our garbled wail with the impos- supposition of our governot-be- ing escorted by one of our selectmen over roads that even nature is asham- ed of and is trying to hide. Don’t blame the roads, for everything has an | end, and sometimes that end is called a tail, and I feel safe in stating that | the roads vou mention are the tail of Canterbury. And if our selectmen | even contemplated the trip he or they would deserve shooting. This town, though, is real ick and is constant- 1y growing worse, and as one of the several hundred. doctors within her borders I suggest or prescribe: First, that 2 money tax be levied for the roads and that the selectmen be em- powered to hire. men and teams to work the roads for. the entire town. Second, that the appraisers of the town be paid for their services and in- structed that they must visit each farm (instead of warming chairs in the town hall), and tax every one fairly. Don’t tax me $25 for a $20 cow, and another man $200 for a $1,5600 barn, Don’t tax the east and south of the town $15 and $20 per acre for land, and the north and west $5. Third, make the non-residents who are constantly cutting up our roads with autotrucks and heavy teams,cart- ing lumber, ties and poles, pay for the damage they do. Fourth, instruct our representatives to introduce a bill in the legislature that will give the voters of the town the right to decide what main road in their town they want to be a state road, The present board of selectmen are not, and neither were the former board, of my politics, but when I see a man undeservedly assailed, and by®a man who either through fear or mod- esty (?) concealed his name, I say to you, when thus attacked, to remem- ber that Christ himself was upon this !last week,” reminded Jimn. | c: | ahead under “Go back there?” the girl shuddered. “She would kill me, CI.l"Fi 1 “It's not so bad as that, is it?” he asied. For answer she drew back the tattered sleeve from the siender white arm. Three livid welts told their own story of stepmother’s abuse. “Did she sirike you?” he asked, smothering an oath. “She found out about that ride in the cab last week and she said she would will me.” Even the recollection of that awful scene brought the tears afresh. Carl turned to Jim. “If this was the regular run,” he said, “I could get Bax- ter to take her in the car and it would be all right. We could get married in Haven without a license, and then I could defy Mrs. Hammond.” “Baxter must be in Haven by now." obfected Jim. “Sixty-seven is the first train in the morning. Ain't you got a friend who'd take her in?” “Not one.” groaned Carl. to take her in the cab.” “Remember what Caddon e’ll have told you “Told you then that the next time. you let her ride | in the cab he'd lay you off.” “I don't care,” protested Carl. take her out of the way of that if I never handle a throttle again.

He had just given the signal to pull out when down the road came the swaying figure of a woman crazed with anger One glance told Carl that it was Mrs. Hammond. and without z word he reached down to where S was standing and with a powerful jerk lifted her into the cab, while at the same moment he threw over the lever. There was an answering snort from the engine, which drowned the cry of the baffled woman, and the train moved out The locomotive was of the Mother Hubbard type, with the engineer's cab well forward over the tremendous boil- er. As soon as he was under way Carl helped Susie over to the other side of the boiler and then glued his eyes to the track ahead. Thlvrs were ten miles they a slow speed dropped down the side of the mountain, but once the “eight” was passed it would be clear running Meanwhile it would take all of his re to hold back the train and keep from going into the “eight” at such a track. They had gone half of the distance and were running through the cutting when a loosened stone fell from the side and crashed through the window and struck Carl full upon the head. He fell over stunned, and as he did so the lever was thrown over and 630 bounded full head of steam.
