But Jitneys Must Take Out a State License, Local people who have complied with the new law regarding the license fee of those running a public service au- tomobile state that they have been in formed by the commissioner in Hart- ford that after having secured the state license no other city license is necessary and that they will be alow- ed to carry passengers anywhere in the state. A prominent member of the bar states that as far as he can find out there is no requirement for a local cense for those carrving passengers automobiles, but the usual license hacks and carriages will have to taken out as before, according to city ordinance. or the past few years there have been in the vicinity of 109 jitney driv- ers within the city who have taken out hack and carriage licenses and paying the city cierk $1.25 each, the same as hack and carriage drivers, it being considered by the authorities and by the drivers of jitrievs that their auto- mobiles were carriages. Notwithstanding the increase in the price of the license now issued by the Ate over what was formeriy paid in Norwich, the local jitney drivers say there is some satisfaction in the law, as it requires about two weeks to se- cure a license and the high tax will have a tendency to Keep out those drivers who come to Norwich from Island and other states for a day or two at a time when there is an’ extra rush of business, sweep up the gold dust and return to their reg- ular stations. Up to now they have been abe to come to Norwich during fair times and other specially attrac- tive occasions, pay $1.25. the same as the iocal men, and get out when the rush is over. The situation is differ- ent now, and this fact is pleasing to the local drivers. who have been anx- ions for smoe time to have the city fathers change the local ordinances so that out of town drivers would not have the same privileges as locai drivers.

Keeper William Murray of Little Gull lighthouse brouzht over a tale of a whale Wednesday that will prob- ably make the old mammal-loving skippers delve into their cvelone cel- jars and extricate rustv harpoons that have been idle for nigh unto haif a century. Captain Murray says a whale about 50 feet long has been disporting every day in waters adjacent to the light- house. and it spouts, dives and thrashes its huge tail in the sea, churning the water and no doubt chasinz some of the little fishes to- wards the woods of Long Island. Not only is the whale giving a free daily exhibition, but, according to the lighthouse keeper, whip tail sharks of the man-eating species are also nu- merous about five miles south of the island. Captain Murray belteves ‘a large school of herring that swept in from the ocean is responsible for the pres- ence of his whaleship and the sharks. A. E. ANDREWS OPENS NEW MODERN BAKERY.

BOY SCOUTS TO CAMP AT TRADING COVE. Arrangements Complets for Erection of Tents Near the Gardens. Arrangements have been completed for the Boy Scout’ camp that is to be set up at Trading Cove for those scouts who are working at various times on the two-acre farm located at De- Wolfe's switch which is planted with beans. Joseph Bradford has kindly donated the use of his land on the south side of the cove, on which there is ample room for tents accommodat- ing as many as 15 boys. One tent has been secured by members of the local council and others will be furnished by troops that will use the spot from time to time. The location is ideal, with good swimming and boating, and the plan supplies a long felt want of the Norwich scouts. One rowboat has been secured for part time, but another would be very acceptable. In general no group of scouts will be allpwed to camp at this place with- out an official of the troop being pres- ent, and a small fee will be charged each boy, but the payment of this sum can be deferred until revenue comes in from the harvest of the crop. Blanks must be filled out by the scoutmaster of the troop before any of his bovs can attend the camp. Other details can be ascertained upon appi- cation to Scout Commissioner Bruce. Weather permitting, the scout com- missioner and some of the boys will g0 to the place on Friday afternoon and erect the council tent, which is 10x12 in'size. Troop 3 has planned to work on its part of the farm'on Sat- urday afternoon and will spend the night in the new camp. It is also probable that members of Troops 1, 4, 6 and 8 will aiso be on the ground at the same time. Upon securing permission, other scouts who are not farmers may also have the privilege of using this camp, but there are other requirements to be met which can be learned from Mr. Bruce.

Long vears ago when the moccasin- clad feet of the early settlers of this section of the state softly padded along the leafy glades of the Quine- baug, crossed the fords of the She- tucket and iiie Yantic and came down to that section of the country lying to the west of what is now the site the city of Norwich they found a large fertile plain now known as East Great Plain and which was the field where the two tribes of Indians under the leadership of their chiefs, Uncas CUMMINGS & RING Funeral Directors and Embalmer; 322 Main Street Chamber of Commerce Bullding 'Phone 238-2 Lady Assistant and_Miantonomoh, battled fiercely for supremacy. It was felt in some Qquarters that the entrance of our country into the world-wide war on the other side of the water would prove a dampener to county fairs throughout the country, but the opposite is absolutely the ef- fect nrofl'geed. President Wilson has written to the convention of Ad: tising Men: “May I not congratulate ¥YOou upon your purpose to assist in mobilizing the best thought and pro- moting greatest activity in all lines of business in these times of stress and exigency? It would be of the great- est_benefit if the convention could be employed to steady business and clear the air of doubt and misgivings In or- der to make for greater unity of pur- pose in winning the great war for democracy and civilization.” Refusing to even think of such a thing as to give up the fair on ac- count of the war, the officials of the New London County Agricultural So- ciety felt that this was the time when they should bend their every effort to make the fair this vear bigger than ever. That the war will have little or no effect upon county fairs and 1 38 Haddam 5, Cromwell Portland 1; ville 1; Plainfield Baltfc 1; Conducted by Mis: Middietown, 9 E Ivoryton Middlesex County- Middlefleld 3 Rockfall 2, total 26.

Altogether the fair officials are look- ing forward to a fair that is bound to surpass all preceding efforts and no ;xnfnse is being spared to Insure that act. £ NORWICH FURNISHED 6 MEN FOR REGULAR ARMY Hartford County Leads in the State Putnam Furnished 25. Connecticut’s quota for the regular army was 2,228 when the war be- gan. When national recruiting week opened, June 23, as designated by President ~ Wilson, Connecticut was lacking 1,200 men to fulfill the re- required number. From June 23 to July 10, the state obtained 476 re- cruits and had to Its credit 1,504 or about 60 per cent. of the quota. It will thus be seen that 724 recruits are needed to bring the number up to 2,228. Al the figures are obtainable from the main recruiting station of the state, at New Haven. Hartford county has done the best work of all the Connecticut counties, for the perfod indicated. Tts quota is 270 and it has recruited slightly more than half of that number, 147. Of the 147, 98 are _divided between Hartford and New Britain, 53 for Hartford and 45 for New Britain. Other towns are: Windsor Locks 6, Burnside 6, Thompsonville 4 and East Hartford 4. The other courtles, for the period, were behind Hartford county. in_pro- portional recruiting.
