Stephen Kaller of Willington was fined 315 and costs and his wife, Ka- terina Kaller, $15 and costs by Judge Heald In the borough court Saturday morning on a complaint charging them jointly with having assaulted William L. Clark on April 22d and also chars- ing them with a breach of the peace. The total fines and costs amounted to $49.79, which the Kallers paid. - It developed in the evidence that the two families have been haying a dis- pute over a well located on the Clark property. Mr. ana_Mrs. Kaller have been permitted by Mrs. Clark to take water from the well for the past seven vears. Ths Kallers finally became so bold as. to forbid the Clark family to take water from their own well. When Mr. Clark went to the well on the morning of April 22d he was assault- ed by Mr. and Mrs. Kaller and they would not allow him to take any water. The row at the well, which was on Sunda morning, disturbed the neigh- bors and from the evidence it appear- ed that a serious breach of the peace had been committed, as well as an assault. Mrs. Mary Clark and her son Wil- liam testified as to the assault, and Robert E. Hull of Norwich, son-in-law of Mrs. Clark, who was at the Clark house when the trouble occurred, cor- roborated the statements of Mrs. Clark and her son, and told the court that Mrs. Kaller had used vile and violent language toward Mr. Clark. Christine Zurmina and her daughter said they were aroused by the boisterous language of Mrs. Kaller. Apply for Park Land.

Helpine Subscribers to Liberty Loan. The Windham County National bank, in order to do everything possible to make the United States issue of two billion dollar loan a success, is offer- ing to subscribe for bonds for its cus- tomers. allowing them to pay $10 down and $10 a month, without charging any Interest therefor, other than that paid by the bonds. This is an unusual in- ducement and ought to result in many reople of the working class taking advantage of the opportunity to secure 2 United States government bond. Making Flags at Home. Necessity makes nimble braina. As it has become exceedingly expensive to indicsts one’s patriotism by a die- play of the national flag, clever women have hit upon a plan to evade the ex- tortionate prices the manufacturers and wholesalers are trying to wring from the public by buying material and making flags on their own ac- count. Flags that retailed for 98 cents are now being sold wholesale for $5.25, so heating that price is an easy matter for the clever needleworker Who cares to take the time to buy the material and emulate Betsy Ross. And they are doing that very thing here in Danielson, too, and turning out some very fine looking flags. The Food Supply Problem. A. H. Armington, who is a_ close student of the food supply question as it now confronts the country, makes the following statement: It seems to me that the people of this country are soon to face an ex- ceedingly grave situation in the food problem. In fact, it is impossible to- day to buy many of the staples except- ing in small quantities. Last fall there was a fairly good stock of staple lines —beans, flour, sugar, etc. Now flour bas taken a surprising upward jump. Reans were selling then from 25 to 30 cents a quart. Now dealers are de- manding over $10 a bushel wholesale for beans, and are getting it, when they can produce the beans. This is at the rate of about 34 cents a quart, Wwholesale. Mr. Armington says that there are many reasons for this condition of the market, one of these reasons being an cxcess of buying to cover not only the present but future needs of many fam- ilies. Some families have stored enousgh staples to last from one to two years, he_has been told. Conditions are fast becoming very serious in the foodstuffs trade, Mr. Armington says, but the hope of relief lies In big crops during the growing season now opening. He urges re- strictions in_buying, that the dangers ahead may be averied, or made much easier to bear. Reeves-Landry Wedding Today.
