The selectmen of the town of Kill ingly have adopted propositions re celved by them through the special finance committee of the town for the placing, at a lower rate of interest than has been in force, loans covering the floating indebtedness of the town. This floating indebtedness is in ex- cess of $80,000, and much of it has been bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. Under the new arrangement loans to cover the entire amount have been offered the town at less than four per cent. this through the Windham County National bank and Danielson Trust company, which institutions are taking over the loans. Motorists Held Up—Cars Fired At. Attacks upon and attempts to hold up. automobiles seems to becoming the favorite outdoor fall sport in this sec- tion of the state. Hardly a day passes but develops one or more stories about experiences of an unwelcome nature upon the highways. Some of these yarns, most of them, are founded upon fact, but a few, following the usual increase of the vividness of imagina- ¢ion in lively times, are pure fabrica- tions. A Wauregan car, owned by Louis Messier of that place, and driven by Joseph Moreau of Moosup. was_fired upon while rolling along the highday between Danielson and Dayville. Bul- lets struck the car, but the occupants escaped uninjured. BOROUGH’S NEW POLICEMEN. Merchants’ Pledges Pay Fer One Po trolman—More Money Expected. It is understood that the weekly payment pledges made by business men of the borough as already receiv- ed by members of the court of bur- gesses for the purpose of having the doors of thelr stores latched and special attention given to such stores is sufficlent to pay the yearly salary of one patrolman and further pledges from husiness men are expected. ‘The Messrs. Grimshaw, the two new- Iy appointeq patrolmen, are regarded as two highly efficient men for the places to which they have been ap- pointed. They are not novices at the work which they will take up, bott having seen much service and piping times as constables within the town of Killingly. Both are physicaly im- ressive and compelling and are abso- utely feariess, mention not being made of this lou:'mu:h to susgest ap- prehension on part of anyone as to write into the record a testimonial to their ability to take care of thoroughly weil the positions to which they have been assigned.

Phoughtless persons who desire to talk with the police are causing mem- bars of the department much trouble by asking the operators for the num- ber that flashes on the police signal lights on the streets. Every time these lights are flashed on it means a trip to each light by an officer that they may be extinguished, something like two miles of hiking each time the lights are flashed on. The police lights are intgnded more for emergency calis for the police than for any other rea- son, for service calls. Persons who wish merely to converse with some- one at police headquarters should look up the listing under City Prison in the telephone directory. Nowadays the po- lice signal system flashes a number of times each day and almost invari- ably for a trifiing matter. Much of the time of the officer on duty dur- Ing the daytime is occupied in chas- inz from ome end of the city to the other to shut off the lights. Rev. C. J. Harrison to Officiate at Norwich.

BOOM THE POTATO! County Agent Calls Attention to Na- tional Potato Day Today—Farmers’ Institute and Dairymen’s Field Day. There is quite a large amount of corn still out in the fields. This should be under cover, writes the county agent. The influence of the weather will not only injure the corn itself, but will make the fodder poor and un- palatable. A considerable quantity of its food value will be washed out by rains at this time of the year. Farm- ers who have not a silo should zet their corn stover under shelter as soon after cutting as it can be cured. Prop- erly cared for, corn stover makes ex- cellent roughage. Try getting it in early and see how much more the cattle will relish it. Potato Day. Today (Thursday) November Thankssiving, is Potato day. We h a national apple day, and other davs devoted to some special farm crop.
