ANNUAL SPRING SHOWING OF Muslin Undergarments During the warm days of Summer one needs an extra supply of undermuslins, and this week’s showing offers a good op- port\lmity to provide all your needs. With cotton prices over 200 per cent. higher than last year we could not offer you a better reason for seizing upon an opportunity such as this, especially when you realize that prices on the following Undermuslins are less than present market prices. The Government Asks: You To Practice Thrift Thrift does not mean to be stingy—it does not mean to de- prive yourself of anything that you desire or should have. If you deprive yourself of things you should have it is certain to cost you more in the long run, and that is why thrifty per- sons make sure that their personal needs are fully taken care of, but they also make sure that they secure fullest value for the amount expended; and this event is one instance where you get fu¥ 100 per cent. of value for every dollar spent.

A peculiar accident occurred near Rood’s store Monday noon, just as the employes of the Baltic Mills were on their way to dinner. A party of Hartford gentlemen traveling in a Pilot touring car car- rving Connecticut marker No. 6-164, en route to Putnam, stopped their car to inquire of James Sheridan, chauf- feur for William E. Peck, general manager of the Baltic Mills, the best road to their destination. Mr. Sheridan was explaining the route when a horse came throuzh Raiiroad- street at a lively clip. The occupants of the machine did not see the on-coming animal until he was a few feet from the automobile. Shedi- dan jumped to catch the horse but the short distance between the auto and the horse prevented his stepping in hetween the two. The horse, which is blind, ran into the hood of the ma- chine, raised his foot and paused between the mudguard and hood on the left side of the machine. ¥he horse’s hoof became wedged between the hood and the mudguard and d:d considerable damage to the car. It was with difficulty that the horse’s foot was removed without injuring the animal. The people coming from the mill stopped to witness the predi- cament which held the Hartford par- ty from continuing its journey. The Hartford motorists agreed to settle with the owner of the team that did the damage for $10; but the owner of the speedy horse advised ‘o take the damaged car to a service sta- tion in Norwich and have it repaired and he would stand the expense. He furnised credentials and the Capital City tourists left town satisfied. The machine is owned by James J. Malloy of Hartford. Baking Contest.

The com- petitors were iwo picked teams of youthful bakers, anxious to show their lately acquired skill in baking corn muffins and preparing all serts of sub- stitutes for wheat flour, with the in- tention of helping on food conserva- tion. The visiting team came from the Village Home Economics club and demonstrated first. Then .followed the Academy team. Both used the same recipe in grder that the judges' task might be the easier and yet it was difficult enough. After all the points for and agzainst were balanced Miss Bolan, the assist- ant state leader of boys and girls’ club work, declared a tie and everyone in clubs and audience approved of one verdict. 2 ‘While the muffins were baking the mothers and friends of club members looked over with keenest interest the surprising array of good things to eat. FEach club member exhibited har most {empting product made accord- ing to instructions received in the twelve weeks' course just completed. The lessons have been prepared by Miss Bolan at Storrs college and giv- en by Miss Bertha Hallock, of the New London County Farm Bureau.
