NORWiCH BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1915 INSURANCE 3 SAFET FLR:ST | IT'S GOOOD__POLICY to place your INSURANCE with _an agency that ~writes the most FARM IN- SURANCE of any Eastern Con- necticut agency, representing the three Strongest Mutual Companies in the State. AND SONS J. L. Lathrop 25'snetucketst. Why vou should have your prorerty protected against loss by fire. First: An Insurance Policy costs little com- pared with the protection it affords. Second: Fires break out in a night in the most unlooked for places. Third: It is the best investment of a small amount of money You can possibly have, and will add sreatly to vour peace of mind and comfort to know that you are sufficiently protected in this important matter. ISAAC S. JONES Insurance and Real Estate Agent Richards Building, 91 Main Street BEAR IN MIND when placing your INSURANCE for the coming year. THE FACT that during the last five years 92 Insurance Companies have either failed, reinsured or quit; THE FACT that no company can af- ford to sell Gold Dollars for 90 cents or pay $1.20 for every Dol- lar taken in and THE FACT that we sell INDEMNITY not a mere promise to pay.

Willimantic Dec. 7.— get-together supper at the of the board of trade Tues- evening was most successful one of the larzest gatherings there in some months resulting. at 6.30 by the alitas of the Congrezational church 127 members enjoved the excellent neld Supper was served owing the supper a musical pro- me was rendered by a_suartette consisting of Dr. D. Everett Taylor, C. H. Caswell, A. L. French and Lewis tuddock, Dr. W. P. Keating, pian- ist. Rev with a recitation. Vice President George TF. Taylor then welcomed the members and de- clared the business meeting open. The ovation of the evening was accorded J. B. Fullerton, chairman of the mem- bership committee, when he reported that 90 names had been added to the list by.the efforts exerted in the can- vass of the past month, 68 new mem- bers were voted in at this meeting, 23 having been taken in last month. The resignation of President Fred D. Jordan was accepted with regret. His successor will be elected at the next regular meeting. The president, vice president and secretary were appointed a commit- tee to receive and consider all com- munications from the national cham- ber of commerce and make recom- mendations to the board in regard thereto. J. B. Fullerton was appointed chair- man of a_committee consisting of him- self, H. R. Chappell and F. H. Foss, to recommend to a later meeting some form of assistance from the board to Company L, which has paid all its bills and is now up to its full quota of men. Expressions from those present were to the effect that the telephdne service in the town had improved in great measure since the last meeting, and most of the sources of complaint then heard had been removed. There followed a discussion of the subject of the removal of the three buildings on the town property at the corner of High and Prospect streets, with the sentiment expressed unani- mously in favor of their removal. Chairman Taylor and First Select- man E. P. Chesbro explained the sit- uation, the latter saying that the town could get 5 per cent. on a ten thou- sand investment there, by spending about a thousand dollars. The rental if paid, totals $900, and the expenses about $400. The buildings are in very poor sanitary condition. The expressions heard favored the change for various reasons, the need of the high school for more room, playgrounds, poor investment, etc. A committee of five headed George . Taylor and composed of J. D. Jordan, Jay M. Shepard, J. C. Geary ind H. C. Lathrop, was appointed to advocate the removal of the buildinzs at the cominz town meeting. The same committee will also by vote of the board, advocate the sale of the old town building on Church street at the same meeting. which it was stated is a poor financial investment in addi- tion ro its other disadvantages. A discussion of the finances of the town and city will be held at the next regular meeting. s W. D. Cavert also favored ARRESTED IN KANSAS. Edward Weldon Accused of Theft at Farm of William H. Squires in Mansfield. Willimantic Dee. 7.— Edward Weldon, 18 years of age, colored, who had been employed re- cently as a farmhand by William H. Squires of Mansfield, was arrested upon leaving his train at Leaven- worth, Xan., Tuesday, for alleged theft committed in this vicinity. On Suturday last Palmer Green of Ash street, this city, paid a bill of $50 to the youngz man, who was the only one on Mr. Squires’ farm when Green went there to pay the bill, which was owed to Squires. Weldon, with the money, three watches and $6 in cash, disappeared, &0 it is said, soon after. The matter was reported to the state police as well as the local authorities, and Wel. don was traced to New Haven. In- formation rececived there led to the belief he had gone to Kansas, and a telegram brought about his arrest. He will be held for extradition.

Wall Street Regards Main Points of President’s Message with Disfavor. New York, Dec. 7.—If the course of today's stock market may be accepted as a criterion, Wall Street and the financial community as a whole re- garded some of the main points of the 1resident’s message to congress with distavor. Standard stocks, which were dull but steady in the forenoon and ame more active and stronger on cation of the message, fell back uncer the weight of heavy sell- ir. which bearish operations prob- ably were no small factor. Uniied States Steel was the over- shadowing feature of the midday ad- vance sscending almost steadily from its early minimum of 58 5-§ to $8 1-8, a meve 1-8 under its best price of recent years, on transactions _that ranged from 1,000 to 7,000 shares. Rail and cther seasoned issues rose propo: ticnately, but yielded with Steel in the iiregular and unsettled close, which registers numerous net losses. Total sales amounted to 705,000 shares. Much of the liquidation which fol- lowed the more careful reading of the president’s recommendation was ascribed to those features dealing with a proposed tax on various crude and refined products. To impartial observ- ers, however, those features were largely counterbalanced by the presi- dent’s attitude towards what w: termed the “transportation problem. Chief among the many advances of the early session, most of which were subsequently effaced, were Studebaker, Baldwin Locomotive, New York Air Brake, Sloss-Sheffield Steel, Harvester, Industrial Alcol Distillers Securitie: International Nickel and petroleums. There were sporadic advances in some of the miscellaneous issues, but these, too, lost ground at the end. London was again a seller here, con- fining its limited trading to Pacifics and some of the minor metals. No- vember figures compiled by the Brit- ish board of trade show an increase of $35,000,000 in exports over the same month of 1914, but imports increased to the extent of $80,600,000. Sterling exchange was strong, comparing with highest rates of the recent movement, })ut Continental remittances were eas- er. Bonds were irregular, with another decline in Anglo-French notes, which sold for “future” delivery at 96 3-4. otal sales, par value, asgregated $4 545,000. U. S. coupon 4's were 5-8 per cent. lower on call. STOCKS. High Adams Alaska Aluska Allas-C Allis. Fspress Gold Jun Gold . almers ctfs snicrs . Car & Foundry . Cosl product . . Cotton Ol Cotton Ofl pf .

Johnston to the topmost ranking among American tennis players had been little short of phenomenal. The National Cham- pion's name was not found in the list of the first ten players four years ago. Johnston =zained his first brackets at the end was placed fourth, with McLoughlin, Williams and Clothier ranked ahead of him. Last year Johnston dropped to sixth, Behr and Murray being ranked in front of the Californian in addition to the trio which led him the previous season. His feat in leaping to the top of the list this yvear was due al- most entirely to Johnston’s sensation- al play in the National Championship tournament. nce tpis tourney is the supreme test of the tennis season be little, if any, grounds for fault finding with the decision of the ranking committee.
