The Prlce : and Economy "Some men think it’s econ- omy to buy cheap clothing at a low price. Foolish; they know -better if they stop to think about it a minute. The suit is high priced or low priced only according to how it wears, and there is no economy in buying a suit that does not give satisf:u:toryI wear. That is why we recommend paying at least $20 and up, if; you can possibly do so. Suits bought at these prices are lower priced suits thanj those bought at a less price. You're smart enough: to see that, and that’s another reason we say to you “come here for vour clothes.” 207 Main Street Saratega Resta JOHN D. METROPOLIS, Prop. tate.

A. management issued the following statement on Thursday: The management of. the local Y. M. C.:A. desires to make plain to those who are interested to subscribe to the new buiding fund that they ‘will not be called upon to contripute to the as- sociation during the next two vears. Then ihe method of payment of pledges made in the campaign should be fully understond: one-fifth of . the pledge is payabie on July Ist next, and .one-fifth every four months, thereafter until the full amount is paid. This arrangement males it easy to contribute and enables the contributor to glve. a larger amount than he could otherwise. There are, a large number of people who have noi yet made their contri- butions, but who are considering the amount they will give. .Inasmuch as the time of tiie campalgn is very short. | it is urged that decisions be made as to the amount at the.carliest possib’e moment. . On the above plap..a ~person can usualiy give at least twice as much as, they would in-the regular way. A Call to Service. Today the civie®priffe; the municipal enterprise and the religious zeal of Norwich are called on for a real dem- onstration beyond that which has been manifested ‘at any time in the history of the city: With $66,000 aiready pledged by 614 citizens ‘for the Y. M. C. A4 building, will the Test of the dommunity prove equal to the occasion and provide the differénce * vet néeéded’ to secure the fund desired #nd rnake ‘available the subscriptions already offered? - . “There~ are ‘meeddd . at this: crifical hour more wérkers—men.who will join the ranks of. the' loyal band of com- mitteemen which comprises many of the leading business and professional men in Norwich who' for days, past have practically’ forsaken their offices and business interests for this great enterprise. The additional - workers are needed especally for the last days of the cam paign, in order to cover the territor and gather in the smaller,sums which will win the victory. Every one of the workers 1Is urgent. requested to he present at the noonday luncheons at 12.15 sharp. Doubtless’ many who have already contributed will find it’ hecessary to increase their subscriptions nad many who are thinking of giving moderate sums will bave to increas their fig- ures in order that the Y. M. C. A. en- terprise may succeed. There are no large subscriptions held back. All that have been secured have been an- nounced and counted. There is as much obligation on one citizen as an- other in such an enterprise as this. Fivery citizen should do his share, both in _giving time and mofey. Will Norwich win? She must win, for her good name. James L. Case, . O. Smith. A. A. Browning, J. Macpherson, Shepard ‘B. Palmer, Philip Johnson, for the ex- ecutive committee. Damage Suit Settled.

Sanford, a jeweler on Main street, and made a getaway in a Ford . automobiie which was waiting for_them on Church streét. Through the quick work of the local police they were corralled at the Mid- dletown bridge by the ‘Middletown police. Farlier in the afternoon one of the oung men in the party cntered the store and asked the proprietor to show him some diamond rings, and after looking -them over he went out after his intended, who was to ofme back and look at the rings. Later he re- turned, but with him was another man, and after looking at the rings they asked to see a Hamilton watch, which the “proprietor displayed. ‘While the proprietor was reaching in the show | case for another watch one of the men grabbed the tray containing the rings and_made for the door, and the other feliow tucked away the waich. They ran up through the alley near the Trinity church, into Church street, whete. an_accomplice had a machine/ waiting. The party left the city over the road for Colchester. where the lo- cal police officers pursuing them with an automobile learned: they had gone in_the direction of Middletown. The automobile containing the Nor- wich police was about five minutes behind the fleeing burglars when they passed through Colchester. The local ir contained Officers Charles Smith and. Henry Fenton, Earle Mathewson, and was driven by William R. Fris- bie. Police headquarters in Middle- town was notified and officers’ were stationed at the highway bridge, where the arresis were made. When thes were stopped at the bridge one of the three made an attempt to get away and in fact he got a store, but was soon overtalcen. Examination of the automobile used by the fleeing men discosed that it is registered under the name of George Martin. 2 ate street, Waterbury Told of the circumstances. the Water- bury_police said they were unable to such person at that ad- but one of the tiree stated to ch police at the station house that they bought it for $250 in Hart- ford. the money coming from a crap game.

Trio of Daylight Crooks Ran Into Trap Set'by Norwich Police " at Middletown Last Night—Pulled Off Bold Daylight Robbery at Sanford’s Jewelry Store, Making Away With - Seven Valuable Diamond Rings and a Hamilton Watch. . | Gérnon, monds was found in the vicinity of Colchester. It was learned that while in Colchester they inquired the way to Middletown ‘and left in that direction about flve minutes previous to the ar- rival of the Norwich automobile con- taining the police. When asked their names at tie local poiice headquarters, they gave the following: Frank lLand of New Britain, Jonhn Morrissey and James Marshall of Detroit, and their ages range from 17 to 21 years. While making their getaway from the store to the autamobile on Church street the robbers dropped two dia- mond rings which were later found. Their -capture in sich quick time re- flects much credit on the local poli and especially on Captain D. J. Two- mey, who arranged the trap at the Middletown bridge. The rings, watch and a siickpin were found in the auto. There are seven rings, ranging in value from $20 to $120. Mr. Sanford does not know Whether the stickpin was taken from his store or not. The loot is now at police headquarters. The machine in which the trio made their getaway is being held at Middle- town and the local po'ice will send for it today. Y. M. C. A.
