A local clergyman had a rather pe- culiar . experience Tuesday forenoon with one of two young men who were soliciting magazine subscriptions for the avowed purpose of earning enough money to pay for a scholarship in some university. The young man rep- resented himself as a graduate of Put- nam High school, two vears ago, and claimed that the principal’s name there at that time was “Jackson.” The young man was queéstioned quite closely and did not seem to relish it. While the clergyman left him for a minute to attend to some small matter, the young man abruptly took his departure. Doll and Toy Supply Will Be Short. 'W. L. Dixon:of a local store in dis- cussinf the effect of the Buropean mvar upon his business said Tuesday that he expects to have considerable difi- culty this fall in securing his usual supply of dolls and toys, bought usual- ly from German manufacturers through American agents. This, on the face of it. looks like rather dubious news for the young people, but they need not be discouraged. Amierican brains are busy with the problem of getting an_ade- quate supply of playthings for Young America. ST WORSTED COMPANY RUSHED. Elmville Plant Runnina Until 9 P. M. Business is booming at the plant of the Sonnhill Worsted company at Elmville, the concern that recently took over the property of the Elmville Wor- sted company. Not only have they put their plant on a full time schedule with an increased number of help, but are running it until 9 o'clock nights. The concern is also .operating about half_the machinery in the Sayles mill at Eimville and will soon have it all running. One connected with the Sonn- hill company said Tuesday that or- ders have come in so liberally that it is almost impessible to care for them. The company is now employing about 150 people and the payroll is in ex- cess of $1,000 a week. It is expecteq'that the work of in- stalling a new 200 horsepower turbine water wheel will be commenced at the Sonnhill plant this week. New machinery is also to be installed. The success of the plant since it was taken over by the new company measures up to all of the rosy forecasts that were made at that time and the ad- vantage to the town of Killingly geh- erally is so great as {o be worthy of special notice.
