BOMBARDMENT OF OSSOWETZ HAS WEAKENED SOMEWHAT Germans Are Sparing Their Shells— Are Exercising Prudence. London, March 13, 2:24 a. m.—Reu- ter's Petrograd correspondent sends an ojcial communication issued at the Russian capital which says: “The bombardment of Ossowetz has weakened somewhat. The Germans are sparing their shells; bombarding the fortress on the 11th only between the hours of 5 and 7in the evening. “The German offensive on our po- sitions at Przanysz is being conducted rather feebly.

The protest in England against the suggestion that young children should provide cheap labor for farmers re- minds us that one of the crying scan- dals of the past was child labor in the flelds. This was largely in the form of “agricultural gangs” which frequently consisted of unfortunate infant pau- pers let out to taskmasters by the par- ish. The practice continued until the passing of the Education Acts, and it is one of the most striking proofs of the tender age of the children employ- ed that the Agricultural Gangs Act, 1867, passed for their protection, en- acted should be employed in an agri- cultural gang.—London Chronicle. Before Fuel Burns. Fuel commences to burn when it has reached what is called the ignition point, which varies greatly with the different kinds of fuel. Coal gas does not burn below a red-heat of iron, and carbon, such as charcoal, has a still higher igniting point. A. piece of iron heated dim red will not ignite a gas Jst, but if the iron is heated till it approaches orange color it will light the gas. The igniting temperature of coal burned in locomotive fireboxes is about 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. Fire- box.temperature is about 3000 degrees Fabrenheit.—Chicago - Journal.

Morley, George O. Hath- away, and Joseph T. Cruttenden. Explained the Plan. Mr. Stancish, who besides his office in the Bridgeport association, is pres- ident of the state association, was in- troduced by President Cruickshank. He spoke of the beginnings of loan : tions_in England and said the first in the United States was in Phil- adelphia in 1£31. Now there are 6,- 294 in the United States with 2,836,000 ,000,000 in assets. where there are the largest imber of associations are Pennsyl- vania with 1710, Ohio with 649, New Jersey with 643, New York with 250.

They are ted in Bridgeport, South Norwalk, atford, New Haven, Meriden, New Britain, Manckester, Windsor Locks, Rockville, Willimantic and Middle- town, Building and loan associations he said have two objects, to encourage habits of saving and thrift among working people and to assist them to t a home.

Sign List to Indicate They President of Bridgeport Asso- Fines For Delinquents. The rule is general among Saving and Lean associations to fine delin- quent sharcholders which we do at the rate of two per cent. for each month in arrears, upon every dollar of dues, or interest due and unpaid. The system- of fines has fulfilled ad- mirably the purpose for which it was designed and to the credit of depositors it may be said that fines do not con- stitute an important part of the in- come of the association. If a share holder allows his payments to run be- hind more than six months he re- ceives official notice of the fact, and if he does not pay the arrears or a reasonable part of them within thirty days, the shares may be cancelleq by the board of management and the withdrawal value of such shares re- turned t othe depositors. Withdrawals. If change of circumstances or other contingencies make it advisable or necessary for a share houder to dis- continue payments he may withdraw 1 of his shares by giving no- tice (thirty days). Except in rare in- stances the depositors may obtain his money practically on demand, _the thirty days clause being one of which associations may take advantage in case of heavy withdrawals. Borrowing. Shareholders in our association may borrow $25 or any muitiple of $25, not exceeding the withdrawal value of the shares of the borrowers, without oth- er security than the shares themselves, thereafter paying his monthly dues and the interest on the amount bor- rowed. Repayments of the loan can be made at the convenience of the shareholder in amounts of $25, or mul- tiples of $25. Interest is charged at the rate of 5 per cent. Real estate loans of the association are limited to 75 or 80 per cent. of the valuation of the property in question, the loan being secured by first mortgage. Lean associations do not accept second mortgages for security. If a working man wants a $3000 house and has $1000 the association will ordinarily furnish the money. The borrower of $2000 takes out ten shares, and besides ten Gollars ($10) monthly dues pays one twelfth of the annual interest, which at the rate of 5 per cent. would be $8.34. A $6000 loan is the largest negotiated. ‘When the shares mature they cancel the mortgage, though the borrower need not wait until the maturity of the shares before reducing or cancel- ling the mortgages, payments of $25 or muitiples of $25 being accepted at any time. Questions Were Answered. Mr, Standish answered a number of questions regarding the operation of the building loan association and Sec- retary Pearson reported of the suc- cess of Woonsocket and Providence associations. After the matter had been pretty thoroughly discussed on motion of Frank H. Smith tbe Chamber of Com- merce endorsed the idea of a building and loan association and a rising vote of thanks was given Mr. Standish. Adjournment of the Chamber of Commerce meeting was taken while C. W. Pearson, W. B. Manning and E. C. Jewett retired as a committee to pr pose names for the officers of an or ganization. They reported the following when they returned to the room: President Frank H. Smith: vice president, Willlam H. Cruickshank: secretary, A. Ernest Cherry treasurer, H. R.

State Forester W also state forest f sued the following ing forest fires: There is every reason to expect an unusually early and severe forest fire season_in Connecticut this spring. The lack of snow or rain and the hot sun of the past few weeks have made the woods and fields veritable fire traps which need only the careless dropping of a lighted match. cigar or cigarette butt to start a conflagration. Already 43 fires have been reported to the state fire warden as_occurring during the past taree weeks. Probably many more have not been reported. It will be a month at least before vegetation will be advanced sufficiently to check the spread of fires. The local fire wardens are vigilant and anxious to prevent all damage possible, but the public must co-operate with them if large exvense as well as property loss is to be prevented. During _the ere drought of last fall nearly 500 fires occurred in this state, causing thousands of dollars’ damage. Most of these fires were due carelessness on the part of people were in the woods and fields dur- ing the hunting and nutting seasons. With the advance of spring, thousands of men and boys each pleasant Sunday and holid 1 respond to the call of the wild. Every one of them ought to realize his responsibility to the, com- munity to see that no fire results from his carelessness, or that no fire which he discovers in the woods is left unex- tinguished. Every town has a fire war- den who should be notified of any fire which is beyond the control of the party discovering it. The telephone central can usually give. the fire war- den’s number. A word of caution is also necessary to anyvone ng sion to burn brush during the next month. The law requiring_the securing of permits si in effect March 15th and should be ob- served in every case. No brush should be burned on windy days and without due precaution to keep the fire from spreading. There is a heavy penalty for kindling a fire which escapes and injures the property of another. The securing of a permit does no talter the sponsibility for consequences for fire damage. Anyone interested in these matters can secure information regarding the from the local fire wardens or by writing to the undersigned. There is a great lack of intelligent public inter- est in the subject, however, largely due of appreciation of the damage s forest fires in Connecticut.
