i not likely that the great world com- ibat will end until 1918.. One of. the i times when peace appears ~probable will be in March, 1916, and the other in the summer of 1918. A War of Cycles. This is. a cycle war.

Unfortunately, the sub-cycle ‘of Mars continues until 1944, and also certain indications that March and June may be months of peril for !the United States, through internal troubles as well as external dangers. Germany comes under a threatening sway of the planets in January and March. The death of a high official, ipossibly a member of the royal fam- ‘ily, is foreshadowed. Discontent will !breed in all classes, and the policy of the war lords may be severely criti- cized. Disasters at sea are indicated. ' May shows peril for either the Kaiser :or the Crown Prince. The summer is more encouraging, but an adverse change in December, 1916, precedes sudden and startling events. A Crisis and a Recovery. England has rather a dubious aug- ury, including sudden reverses for January, danger from air raids the first week in February and catas- trophes on the seas. While the navy may gain in June, losses are likely in the middle of the month. Trouble over loans is for the summer. September brings a crisis, followed by an upward sweep for the better in December. Italy may expect victories and re- verses in rapid succession. Riots over food and credit are probable. Condi- tions should improve in May, but a member of the cabinet will be in trouble. From September, 1916, to May, 1917, lost ground should be re- gained, if the King escapes danger from the late spring to midsummer. Belgium has little hope of better times until 1918 or 1919. Peril and losses _threaten King Albert in Febru- ary. Women and children may suffer additional horrors. More public build- ings may be destroyed. France should find its financial con- dition improved during the course of the year. The army may suffer set- /backs in March and April, followed by ‘heavy losses in July and August reachsa climax in July. = ger to the royal family and loss of estates or property belonging to the realm are to be expected. There is an ill omen for Jenuary and March, when dangers on sea and land are spiracies from January to June. In March conditions involving naval activities are foretold. From April to November the outlook is seriofs. be postponed until December. The Element of Surprise. Although the United States begins the new year more blessed than any country in the world, the sttrs fore- warn the people that they should pre- pare for a year of s events. Business conditions probably will be much affected, since the element of surprise is prominent in all public affairs. Men and women-of every class are counseled to be most con- servative in their expenditures. The year will be a time for safeguarding money and property. Those who speculate are warned of extraordinary fluctuations in the stock market. These will be followed by scandals caused by failures and em- bezzlements. The sudden death of a person of prominence in banking af- fairs is prognosticated. Two financiers will end life, one in January and one in July. Foreign loans will be much discussed. Brokers and ‘speculators should be especially careful in the au- tumn, as the last of September and the first of November are under a sinister rule. The coming summer, July 1 to 15, is under an unfavorable sway of the planets. Bankers are forewarned that the public mind will readily entertain fear. They should guard against possible runs on banks and consequent failures on stock ex- changes. New York and Philadelphia come under a direction that indicates excitement. There is also an aspect that may mean repudiation of foreign credit. Farmers will reap large returns from crops, but unsatisfactory condi- tions may cause losses. Cold and dark weather is indicated; storms of un- usual violence may cause heavy loss- es of livestock. Breeders of horses and cattle have the promise of large profit, but they should take precau- tions against the spread of contagi- ous disease. Nature in @ Savage Mood. Floods on the northwestern coast of the United States are prognosticated. Seattle may suffer damage. Disasters under ground may be numerous. Min- ing has an unlucky sign, read as in- dicating accidents, from explosions and fires. Santa Fe, El Paso, Bis- marck and Leadville have an jll omen.

There will be sharp rises and declines in the money market. Death will remove two financiers at times of critical crises, one in January and one in July. Great naval activity is predicted for the autumn. A stormy national election is prophesied. Bitter personalities, unexpected po- litical complications and a party split of far-reaching effect are foretold. Army, navy and civil service problems will be much discussed. Woman suffrage comes under adverse influences. A scandal, caused by the treachery of a political leader, is indicated. A libel case in which an author or scien- tist is implicated is the probability- Earthquakes in quarters where seismic disturbances are almost unknown and landslides are to be expected. The theatrical outlook is not altogether encouraging. Success for serious plays is foreshadowed. A tragedy for one of the big praducers and a break in partnership for a leading firm are indicated. President Wilson has the augury that 1916 will be the most active year of his life. New international problems will multiply, political treachery may be revealed. He should prepare for a campaign of intense strain and great resourcefulness. destructive tempests. ‘anal may be severely damaged in the last week of Japuary and the first week of February. The last of July, the first of August and the end of October also are unfortun- ate times, in which damage that is costly may be looked for. Barthquakes may be more ‘numer- ous and more widely experienced than in previous years. The middle west and Central America may be disturb- ed by shocks January 26, 30 and 31; Canada and the central of the Atlan- tic states, April 17 to 24, which time will also be dangerows for the West Indies and the Panama Canal. These seismic phenomena may be especially high winds and ‘he Panama C the form of landslides and tidal waves, windstorms, tornadoes and cyclones. Special dates read for these cata- clysms are as follows: Winnipeg to Galveston, Vera Cruz and Guatemala, January 31 and February 1; Dawson to Tahiti and Manila, February 3; western Pennsylvania, Charleston, the island of Jamaica, the Bahamas, Equador and Peru, February 13. In the summer the following dates are probaple: Winnipeg to Galveston and Central America, the Sonora river, Lower California, western Arizona and Nevada, Helena and Butte, Mont., July 13 and 14. Floods and disasters from the air—possibly severe heat and Domingo and the Panama Canal are apt to suffer severly. There is ten- dency to fire, eruption or seismic shock in the Yukon district July 29, but the influence is more likély to af- fect Australia. Benign Toward the Movies. The winter solstice and the vernal equinox are not altogether encourag- ing for theatrical affairs, although they indicate a period of change which will be most beneficial for the tuture. During the next few months motion pictures will continue under a most fortunate direction of the plan- ets.

This is likely to be somewhere in the west or south. This period and the end of June are unlucky, as there may be a severe loss or bankruptcy for a theatrical menager. There is a sign also read as indicating a demonstra- tion or a riot in a place of amusement. A prominent man may die or be as- sassinated. The summer may bring il luck for actors, especially those who are engaged in the moving pic- tures. Accidents on the water or in motor care are probable. A wreck where many may be lost is foretold for June 26 or August 24. - A divorce suit which will create an extraordi- nary scandal because it affects many prominent persons is prognosticated. Bad Outlook for Woman Suffrage. ‘Woman suffrage is likely to meet many obstacles in 1916, as conditions affecting the campgign for political equality gre adverd®. A sensational setback or active treachery on the part of politicians probably will cause a scandal which will produce a libel case against a prominent writer or scientist. Changes in leadership and in _campaign methods are likely. / Hospitals. and charities should greatly benefit. The new year *will bring many demands, upon all philan- thropic organizations. Churches will engage in new humanitarian ' move- ments, and there will be a tendency toward the rsetoration” of a living faith and the harmonizing of science and religion. Reforms will include the reorganiza- tion of procedure in the legal world, improvements of courts and the speeding of many forms of litigation. Prisons will occupy much attention, and the treatment of convicts will be radically improved. ‘With the awakening to a knowledge and consciousness of the occult world and a new interest in regard to the psychological and subliminal condi- tions, there will be extraordinary im- aginative work in art, music and lit- erature. The coming of the superman and superwoman will be heralded. Industrial Unrest and Casualties. In connection with the labor trou- ble, strikes and riots, many catastro- phes are indicated. Railroad accidents and explosions are probable in the middle west. There may be serious trouble in the southeast (possibly in Virginia) which will stir the country. Fires and disturbances are probable in Washington, D. C., or near the nation- al capital. New York city comes un- der an adverse rule frém July to No- vember. The figure is threatening for the safety of railroads and steamers. There may be strikes among long- shoremen and railway employes. .A tragedy on, the water is forecast late in May. This rule of the planets may tend to produce sudden reverses when conditions seem to promise peace and prosperity. A serious catastrophe iong foretold to the principal city in the United States may occur before next November.

Every‘Manufacturing Plant Working to Its Full Ca- pacity—Overtime Work and Additions to Mill Buildings and Machinery Have Been the Rule Through the Year—Orders on Hand Will ' Make-a Record For This Year. ‘The year just drawing to a close has been one of notable achievement for industrial Killingly. During the past twelve months nearly every manufacturing plant in this grand old town has increased its-production by operating overtime and by the in- stallation of additional mechanical facilities. In many mills, old and worn out. machinery has been replaced by the most modern and. efficient, while other companies have constructed additions and new plants. Today, every mill and factory in Killingly is operating at its fullest capacity with an abundance of orders for present and future shipment. The industrial awakening, which I predicted in The Bulletin last.New Year, arrived on schedule time with a tremendous load of profitable orders, with a wake that will give us all plenty of.business for the year to come, and will"break all records for industrial and business booms in East- erm-Connecticut. Cotton Mills-the Barometer. Our automobils tire fabric mills have increased their facili- tles*for producing this very necessary commodity by at least 75 our'woolen mills have operated day and night with larger pay- rolls than ever before; our buff-wheel factories report an ex- cellent business; our great absorbent cotton mill at East Killing- 1y that is controlled by the largest co-operative drug company in the world is filling huge orders for the foreign governments and has installed new ma- chinery this year; our two strictly locally owned concerns manufacturing mill supplies chronicle an excellent year's busi- ness in the aggregate. And so I might write clause after clause, in this paragraph, about our industries all of which spell expansion, progress and prosperity; but most important of all is the splendid come-back 1of our cotton mills mak- ing medium' fine counts of cotton goods for the general textile trade. Their activity and suc- cess is the best indica- tion of all that this noble old town ‘is ex- periencing the greatest era of prosperity in its history and that the year to come will be of even greater activity than the twelve months just past because it<is an axiom among economists. of industrial-affairs that when the cotton mills, oper- ating on general market goods, break down the barrier of de- pression,~with all brakes bff for full speed ahead, it takes a cycle of at least three years to slow their business down. Co-operation of Danielson Trust Company. Before outlining the activities of each of our larger-indus- tries during the past year, I wish to call attention to the most cordial and hearty co-operation that all manufacturers in this town have had from the Danielson Trust company which was or- ganized 13 months ago by local business men and manufacturers, W. IRVING BULLARD The' Danfelson Trust company has adopted a very broad and . cause losses in eastern and Atlantic The eclipses of the year tend to severe at sunmrise and sunset. In South America and Central India these upheavals of nature may take north Atlantic liberal policy with the result that local manufacturing interests have been able to secure a part of their current financing from their home banking institution—a condition that encourages and stimulates expansion and development. Rehabilitation of Quinebaug Mill. From e strictly manufacturing viewpoint the rehabilitation of the Quinebaug mill is probably of greatest importance. For many, many years this large industry of cotton manufacturing has been the back-bone of Danielson. Its payroll for years has been about $5,000 per week; its operatives have known no dull times; its scale of wages always satisfactory, and its manage- ment stable and dependable. Plans for the modernizing of the Quinebaug mills have been developed by General Manager J. Arthur Atwood and Treasurer '‘A. Lockwood Danielson and during the past year they have been efficiently executed by the agent, J. F. Gardner, Jr, who came to Danielson about 15 months ago from Suncook mills, Suncook, N. H. The overhauling of the Quinebaug mills will most assuredly bring a greater degree of prosperity to its owners with increased payrolls and employees which will greatly benefit the community. Agent Gardner is fast recognized in the industry as one of the most success- full mill operators in New England. This town is exceedingly fortunate in having such a competent and able young man in charge of our largest industry. Following is a partial list of the new machinery aiready installed and in the process of installa- tion at the mills of the Quinebaug company: Two hundred and fifty-two automatic pillow tubing looms; 240 Whitin dobbies; 64 Whitin “45” cards; 4,224 spindles of Whitin spinning fram 40 deiiveries of Woonsocket drawing; 4 slubbers; 14 intermediates; 22 fine speeders; 2 finisher pickers; one bale breaker and a waste machine. This mill uses about 8,000 bales of cotton each year; makes over 60,000 pounds of yarn per week; 243,000 yards of cloth per week and manufactures a line of fabrics that stand among the best in the cutting up trade. On Highway to Prosperity. The Danielson Cotton company, which is now under the gen- eral management of interests closely identified with the New England Cotton Yarn company, has turned the corner of failure to the broad highway of prosperity and success since Agent F. E. Cunneen took charge of the plant last spring. Agent Cunneen has a very creditable record of successful cotton menufacturing and he has made good since coming to Danielson. From “a money looser” to a “money maker” in nine months is what Agent Cunneen has accomplished. From the very beginning of owner- ship of the Danielson Cotton company, by its present interests, not a dollar profit was made until July of this year. The loses sustained were large and most discouraging and if the mill had not been owned by strong financial interests, with- the courage of their convictions, we might have an unpleasant story to chron- icle. For the past six months the profits from operations, which have been on a day and night basis, have been most gratifying and from now on theve is no element of doubt but that the Dan- felson Cotton company will have its full measure of prosperity. This means a payroll of nearly $5,000 per week to Danielson merchants. Tire Fabric Mills on Rush Orders. Since General Manager Obadiah Butler took charge of the Danlelson plant of the Connecticut Mills company, the policy of this company has been one of increased production and expan- sion in every department. The mills are operating on a day and night basis and a few days ago plans were announced, by the officlals of the company, that an addition was to be made to number one mill ‘which would require more machinery. Mr., Butler also has charge of their Canadian mill. Right here at this point in my message of prosperity, it should be candidly stated that'Obadiah Butler, general manager of the Connecticut of the Killingly Manufacturing company are conceeded by the textile trade and industry in general to be the two leading man- ufacturers of automobile tire fabric in this country. The reputa- tion of these'two manufacturers is known all over the country and the fabrics that they produce are recognized as the standards for quality. Both mills are operating day and night with addi-. tional machinery ordered and productions of fabric sold ahead. To return to the Connecticut Mills company, I wish to state that thunderstorms are indicated for the coast about when Jamaica, Porto Rico, Haiti, the screen, for educational pictures and for advertising through the use July 26, of the camera. San the Connecticut Mills company. Amos Morin, the energetic su- perintendent of the Connecticut Mills company has an organiza- tion of mill operatives that is second to none. He is one of the most popular mill superintendents in New England and deserves a great deal of credit for the masterly way that he handles his mills and operatives. Rejuvenation of Williamsville, ‘The reading public has been kept very well posted about the developments at Williamsville—the village owned in its entirety by the Kiilingly Manufacturing company. We are all mighty proud of this company because three years ago the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company of Akron, Ohio, the greatest tire manu- facturing factory in the world, secured an interest in the Killing- ly corporation and has backed the company with its enormous financial resources ever since. During the first year of Goodyear proprietorship the slogan from Akron was “produce the highest grade tire fabric and we will back you to the limit.” The second year the slogan was “produce the highest grade fabric at the lowest cost.” Both of these requirements were met by Superin- tendent Boys and now the call is to produce every yard of the highest grade fabric that the machinery can turn out, running day and nights, and to push the completion of the new mill, started but three months ago, so that fabric can be woven and shipped in February. It has been one of the greatest industrial developments that this section of the state ever witnessed. The payroll is now $4,000 per week and the plant is producing less than one-fifth of the fabric used by the Goodyear company. The great obstacle to a tremendous development of this plant is the lack of houses to take care of the additional operatives required for the new mill. If private capital and individuals would erect houses at Williamsville to rent at a fair rental to the employees, plans would be immediately gotten out for the largest spinning mill in this state—and construction would start in the early spring. Such houses would net a fair return on the money in- vested and the patriotic citizens who would so invest their funds would be rewarded by a $10,000 per week payroll by this coming fall. Free building sites will be given by the company and sewer and water service will be provided.. Assawauga’s Splendid Showing. At Dayville, the Assawauga company have been working on- a day and night basis for a part of the year and they have large orders on hand at the moment that will keep the mill running full throughout the season. General Manager Angus Park is a wizard in woolen manufacturing. His able assistant, Treasurer N. Lorne Greig, deserves a great deal of credit for the splendid showing that this mill has made the past year. During the year a new power plant .was installed and considerable new ma- chinery. . Two Successful Woolen Mills. The Davis & Brown mill at East Killingly, which has been so able managed and operated for a great many years by Charles D. Chase, has had a splendid year and is now erecting an addi- tion to its mill for more machinery. The payroll of this mill is a very important item to this town and it is with much personal pleasure’ that we again record a successful year for the dean of our woolen manufacturers, C. D. Chase. The 'Whitestone Worsted company at Elmville reports a suc- cessful year under the management of Agent Howard 8. Wood. This mill has operated over time most of the year and is now rated among our prosperous industries after several years of up- building. The mill is now modern in’ every respect and is in a position to compete with the more modern plants, The International Cotton Man at Bast Killingly has been manufacturing absorbent cotton for the Buro- and up-to-date. The possible production of this mfll is now over two tons of absorbent cotton per day. Manager Oatley deserves infinite praise for the success that he has made of this industry. Report Good Outlook For Business. Our two buff-wheel plants affected during the first half of the year by the gener in the jeweiry trade but since August they have re ceived a satisfactory business.

Pattison, formerly with the Williamsville Buff Wheel “ has purchased the Brookhill Buff Wheel company at Elmville and is now operating the mill. % Senator Frederick A, Jacobs, treasurer of the E. H. Jacobs Manufacturing company, reports an excellent volume of business during the past six months but states that the early part of this past year was hardly normal. His plant is running overtime im order to manufacture orders to be ped during New Year's - week when inventory is taken at this nt. This industry is one of the stable companies of the town and in the history of its business, extending over more than 40 years, they have never re- duced wages or curtailed operations, » This brief review of the industries of our town is presented to the public with the earnest hope and confidence that the goo@ name of Killingly as a prosperous manufacturing town will coms tinue and its reputation be heralded wide and far. i Respectfully submitted, W.

Killinlgy Manufacturing Company Builds 150-Foot Addition at Williamsville—Assawaga Woolen Company Adds to Plant at Dayville. : The greatest addition to the property values in the towmao Killingly during the past year was the fine big addition to the plant of the Killingly Manufacturing company at Willlamsville. This structure is 150 feet in length and is of brick and 3 modern “daylight” construction type. It is expected that the machinery for the addition will be installed about, February 1st. k| i
