Teleshone 38-3 CARE OF HORSES DURING COLD WEATHER Local Agent For Humane Society Re- ceives lastructions From Society Hearquarters. Charles H. Lamb, local agent of the State Humane Society, has received the followirg letter from the head- quarters of the soclety in Hartford relative to. the care of horses in cold weather: Charles H. Tamb, V. Norwich, Conn. Dear Sir: There are doubtless some horses or other farm animals in your community that will suffer during the coming winter unless preventive meas- ures are tsken. The high cost of grain has placed a heavy financial burden upon all owners of such ani- malz. Some fodder has been dam- aged or lost by early frosts. War measures, aleo, have made the con- servation of food matter an import- ant one. While intelligent and ex- perienced farmers will appreciate these conditions and be able to solve their problems wisely, are thers not others In vour community who need and wil' welcome neighborly assistance and advice, or to whom timely warning should be ziven? Attempts to win- ter more stock than an owner can teed properly is not economlical an? may resuit in a half starved herd t ward spring. It Is nst wise to wi ter ahorse which has outlived its use- fulness, or one which offers no prom- ise of service another money wou'd be better keeping vounz stock. Morcover. § economicni well as humane to pro- vide comfo: t:ble nuarters for all farm animals during the ccld weather. If thev arc well housed they will thrive better on the feed they receive. The conditions are such that a general ef- fort should be made throughout the state to anticipate the exigencies of the winter In providing for all ani- mals. We earnestly request you, as an agent of this society, to"give this mat- ter vour attention and use the in- fluence of vour office in your commu- nity to prevent’ waste and unneces- sary suffering. If you have-an op- portunity to bring this matter to pub- lic nmotice through your local newspa- pers or through any granges in vour district we approve such action. Anv particular case in which the society’s general agents can be of assistance should fe reported to the Home Office, Hartford, or to the Branch Office, 129 Church street, New Haven, Conn. Yours truly, WM. DELASS LOVE. President. 8, , Agent, From the Commerce Reports. For a limited period Great Gritain will permit the.importation of clock movements. This includes alarm clocks.

New Haven GIIL Springfeld SATURDAY’S MARKET Trading on the Motors Was on an Extensi' Scale. New York, Dec. 29.—The movement of stocks during today’s short but ac- tive session was rather mixed, despite surface indications of general strength. Lovsv priced rails were in further demand, especlally the group of west- ern and southwestern issues, while standard shares lasged. Trading on the motors was on an extensive sale, with extreme gains of 1 to 4 1-2 points in Studebaker, Gen- eral Motors, Willys Overland and a few accessories. Equipments and the war division as a whole tended towards higher lev- els, but U. S. Steel fluctuated frac- tionally over and under yesterday’s final .quotation, closing virtually un- changed. Gains in specialties were reduced at the end, heavy selling ensuing on rumors of a British marine disaster. Sales amounted to 485,000 shares. The bank statement disclosed no important changes in local monetary conditions. Actual loans showed the normal decrease of $44,615000 and last week’s severe drain on reserves was partly made up by an increase of $35,000,000 in that item Trade authorities referred to the obscure outlook in general lines of trade, with Increasing conservatism on the part of big business interests. Bonds were strong and unusually ac- tive on an enlarged inquiry for do- mestic issues. Liberty fours chanced hands at 97.26 to 96.98 and the 3 1-2 at 9850 to 98.42. Total sales (par value) were ' $3,385,000. Y. S. bonds (old issues) were un- changed during the week except the fours, which advanced 1-4 per cent. & F Clin Ol am i B & L pr <‘$—an3" HEE SR PEFET T sesiEsy il Bk FEERFRR R e g H i FEEREEEEyTERERE 3 !-e&gg p i | i ngixls:iisEE'i;si!EEEi H esFE AL L o¥. i ‘ ;i,ims LEETH if Honan ¥ i 1N Lo onal naaut!

Washington has warned us that the 1918 war strain will be more severe than any other year—regardless of the war’s duration.
