ABOUT PRICES The standard expression of advertisers a few vears ago was “Highest Quality at Lowest Prices.” Today they know and the public knows that such a claim is false and the expression is almost abandoned. The better quality product has always cost more than the inferior and al- ‘ways will.

Takes OQver Washington Street Property and Will Erect Houses Immediately—Purchase Made From George W. Carroll. The Norwich Housing company has purchased from George W. Carroll, a tract of land on Washington street, about 370 feet deep and 97 feet wide and will make immediate plans for the erection of seven or eight modern dwellings for the accommodation of the Hopkins and Allen Arms com- pany’s employes. The property is located between the Thayer property and the Almy estate and was formerly a part of the Almy estate. Mr. Carroll has owned the property for the past two years. In the accompanying cut the prop- erty which the housing comany has purchased is located at the right of the fence line. The present fence line will be moved some distance to the left and a court will exvend from Washington street the entire depth of the property. The divisional lines in the drawing give an approximate idea of the location of the new houses. Jt is sald that seven houses in all may be erected on the mewly acquired land. Five of these will front the court and the other two will face Washington street. The houses to be erected will be somewhat like the general tjye of house which the company is building at-various points in he city but will be more elaborate and consequently more expensive. The preliminary construction will probably be started within two or three weeks time. It is understood that the housing com- pany has been offered an option on the three lots located at the left of the court. Acti at the Arms Plant. The new rifle range being erected for the Hopkins and Allen Arms company is approaching the compieted stage and will soon be ready for use. Pre- parations are being made for the pour- ing of the next floor. Although the company has not been able to turn out rifles on their big contract as soon as they expected, ow- ing to the general condition of affairs throughout the country, yet the out- look is bright at the present time. Slow freight service causing delay in ipments is one of the problems that facisg the officials of the company and every effort is being made to over- come this just as soon as possible.

Says One of Greatest Needs of World is Upright Men. One of the greatest needs of the world in which we live is real upright men; not that we cannot find a good- 1y mumber of such but the wofld needs an increasing number of men who are dominated by the spirit of service to their fellows, said General Secretary Edwin Hill of the Y. M. C. A in his talk at the shop meeting held ‘Wednes- day noon in the Richmond Radiator company. Continuing Secretary Hill sald: There are certain tests by which we can measure our manhood and we The first great test of manhood is lové and if our manhood ncuunt,up‘#o this test we are truly manly. We speak of love to God and I pity the man, whose heart does mnot go out in gratitude to his maker, but unless we have a warm love for our fellowmen our professed love for God may just- 1y be questioned for we read in holy writ, “If ye do not love man whom ye see, how can ye love God whom you have not seen.’ ‘We do well to ask ourselves: What is our relations to our fellowmen? Many of them are for less fortunate than we are and these are entitled to our interest and our heart love and service; that man who lives for num- ber one with never a care for the other fellow is not measuring up to the supreme test of love. Another test of manhood is faith. No man can live as he should without a strong faith in God, who gives us every good thing. We should also have faith In other men; many a poor fellow has gone down because no one has manifested faith in him and on the other hand because some- one has believed in him many a man has risen from the “sloush of de- spair” and has become a noble char- acter Endurance is also a test of man- hood; any man can be true when all goes weil but when difficulties come and the problems arise and when strong temptations sweep down upon us then it is hard to maintain our manhood. The last test T shall mention is purity of life and this is indeed a very vital test for unless a man is pure he cannot lay claim to true manhood. The only way to be pure in life is to have pure thoughts and the only way to have pure thoughts is keep con stantly in touch with the pure Christ, indeed his power is the only power by which we can measure fully up to the requirements of true manhood.

Attorney General's Opinion on Pay- ment of Obligations. ~ An interpretation of section 5, chap- ter 264 of the public acts of 1907, and of section 2, chapter 135, of the acts of 1909, relating to the time for the payment by towns of amounts due the state on account of the construction of highways, has been given Comptroller Webster by Attorney General George E. Hinman in response to the comp- troller's request. ~The interpretation will be of special interest to town offi- clals. The attorney general says “the time prescribed by law for such payment is the time when sald statement is sent to the town by the comptroller.” The statute says that the payment by a town of its obligations for road con- struction_shall follow the sending of a notice by the comptroller of the ex- istence of the obligation. The attorney general further says that when the highway commissioner files a statement with a _town of the amount which #t owes the state, the sum named in the statement is payable at once.
