E. Miller Writes Home —Employes Urged to L LePage Drowned While Fishing— Four Alleged Non-Workers Arrested —Death of Mrs. Mary E. Farnum. ‘Writing sunder the date of Jaly 9 from a hospital somewhere in France, Private Richarq J. Healey of G com- pany, 1024 infantry, telis James R. Waish in a letter received here that he is recovering from a wound in the leg, near the knee. Private Healey's wound is not seri- ous, he writes, and 'he mentioned that his hope was to get back with his company, “wherever it is,” within a week or two. The wound was caused by a piece of fiying shrapnel during a German bombardment of the trenches which G company was holding. Healey expresses in the letter his desire to get back into service, be- cause “it is slow around the hespital, and you know I never cared for that.” Healey mentions the fact that he had seen Sergeant Carl Anderson. John Dowe, John Horton and other Daniel- son boys within a short time and tHat they were all looking fine and feeling well. His reference to the wound he re- ceived is only casual and from the little he did say about it the fact seems to be established that it is not at all of a serious nature. Healey was one of the first two se- lected men to leave this district, in September, 1917. His partner at ghat time was Private Adelard Barbeau, now a prisoner in Germany. Letter from Corporal F. E. Mi Corporal F. E. Miller, Dayville, Q. M. C., with the Goodyear mills at'the time he enlisted, has written the fol- lowing letter from France to Mrs. Miller, who is in the office of Back & Darbie here: Where is France? Today my friend Kelley and I took a walk around one of the large cities over here and the things we saw leag me to ask this question. We crossed a railroad bridge and hearing the whistle of an engine looked below on the railroad tracks. An_American_locomotive of prominent make raced by drawing a long train of American tank and flat cars, the tanks probably contained American gasoline and the flat cars were loaded n aeroplanes. We step- Jet a train of American s which were probably carrying supplies to the front, pass, and con our walk. There are still quite a number of French people here, it seems, for we passed a few of them amongst a lot of soldiers in khaki in a park. We crossed a_ street near the park and were nearly run down by a number of American antos and motorcycles which carry American soldiers back and forth from the front. A baseball game was at its height over in a fleld, sg_we stopped to watch it a minute. Nine of the players wore a famjliar looking suit with a large “Goodyear” across the front of it. Sure they were Amer- icans and the suits a present from the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company. A little farther along we came upon a large warehouse .with American guards stationed at intervals around it. One of o depots for supplies, and in_the we saw thousands of auto tires piled up, both solid and preumatic, a good part of them were of interest to me, for they were Good- years. n most of the houses in sections of thé ity are occupied by our boys.

I do not think that the magnitude of the accomplishments of the Ameri- can troops is realized in the States, but from what I have seen so far 1 can honestly say that Kaiser Bill is up against a pretty stiff proposition when he bucks Uncle Sam. One of the. chief amusements of the American soldier over here is to play with and “try to talk” to the children. They have all been taught to love us and’ they delight in climbing up into the lap of one of the boys or to play ball with him, The first thing they say is “Gum Americaine” Do you folks at home know that chewing gum was absolutely tnknown in the greater part of France until the arrival of the American forces. Yes, this is “LaBelle France” and farms, gardens and chateaus. Here are the ideal cozy homes, homes which have sheltered generation after gen- eration, a_beautiful little stone house surrounded by roses of many hues, a garden in the rear where vegetables and fruits are grown in abundance. Of all the sights I have seen since my army life began, there is one which will never be obliterated from my memory. When on the evening of March 25th, 1918, the transport which brougnt me here started her engines and gradually moved away from my America, and the Statue of Liberty faded from sight, then the picture of that great shaft of stone was printed CHAUTAUQUA PATRIOTIC ENTERTAINING INSTRUCTIVE PUTNAM AUG. 10-17th Get your season tickets now.

URGED TO LOYALTY. Employes in Manufactories of the Town Asked to Aid Government. The Kiilingly War Purean and man- ufacturers here are appealing to the loyalty of workers in the big indust- rial plants to count themselves as a part of Uncle Sam's forces and strive to the utmost for production records, thus helping to bring about a quicker termination of the wa In many instances high wage Scales are tending to create a situation inim- ical to the government. Workers who are earning more money than they ever dreamt they would receive in textile work are laving off two or three days a week “because we can earn all the money we need” in half the regular working hours each week.” With the hot weather season this has Liecome tru¢ in a steadily increasing number of instances. The result is that the mills are dropping down from high production rossibilities, and the zovernment éalls in vain for supplies urgently needed by_the fighting forces, Rev. M. J. Ginet, M. S, pastor of St. James' church, has urged the hun- dreds of mill operatives in his con- gregation not to bs zuilty of this sin against the government. He pointed out that earnings are only secondary to production, and that the taing to think of is “How much can I produce this “week?” not “How litle 1 work and still earn enough money to meet my needs?” The workers in the Lig textile plants here are a_iine of lefence in the nation and all among them who are thoroughly loyal will not forget this all important fact.

LaPage was a member of a fishing party that let Attawaugan Saturday night. Members of the party have been quoted as g that LaPage took a boat and went out onto the pond to fish when other members of the party were about to 20 into camp and sleep for the night. He went alone on the expedition and when the other members of the party awoke in the morning they found the hoat, with LaPage's hat and pipe and a broken oar in it, but there was no trace of LaPage. Keach’s pond is a strange body of water, filled with old tree stumps and floating islands. The disappearance of a body within it, in certain places, would very likely baffie any effort to locate it until such time, under the working of natural laws, as the body would float to the surface LaPage was about 4 rs of age. He hag been employed as a section hand in the weaving department by the Aftawaugan company. His wife and eight children live in Attawaugan, where _the family been residents for a number of years. The body. was recovered about 4 p. m. Monday and was taken in chargs by Undertaker L. E. Kennedy. Town Court Cases, dge W. Fenner Woodward heard five cases in the town court Monday motning.

Important Announcement BEGINNING WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7th, the method of paying cash fares on our local cars will be as illustrated. The use of duplex tickets will be discontinued on local cars, and partially discontinued on interurban cars. Interurban transportation will be sold only on interurban cars and after such cars have traveled beyond a FIVE-CENT ZCNE M has been established. TRANSFER LIMITS HAVE BEEN EXTENDED as follows:— { From Maples Corner to the end of the West Side Line; from Cemetery on the Yantic Line to Harland's Corner; from Thamesville to Zone 128 at the Sanatarium, on the New London Line. A ZONE FOR THE COLLECTION OF FIVE-CENT FARES FROM ALL PASSENGERS has been established at the Sanatarium on the New London Line; at Harland’s Corner on the Yantic Line, with a second five<cent zone to the end of the line. ar On the West Side, Boswell Avenue and Laurel Hill Lines, FIVE-CENT FARES ONLY WILL BE COLLECTED, On the Taftville Line, a five-cent zone will extend to the Greenville Cemetery, with a second five-cent zone from : there to Taftville. On the Central Village Line this register will be used for the collection of a fivecent fare from all passengers ridlnx within the Norwich city zone extending from Greenville Cemetery to Franklin Square‘ These five-cent collections are to be made through this portable register. Passengers coming in from interurban lines will have the transfer privileges as usual, with the transfer fimits ex- tended as indicated. THIS MEANS THAT ALL TRAVEL ORIGINATING IN NORWICH OR NEW LONDON OR WITHIN THE ZONE LIMITS ABOVE INDICATED, calls for the initial payment of a five-cent fare through this portable register, regardiess of the-distance the passenger may wish to travel; the only exception being the Norwich and Westerly ane, where no pre- sent change in method of fare collection is being made. Transportation beyond the Sanatarium is sold only to the College, at which point the collection of five cents is made by means of this register, covering the ride into New London. WAR INCOME TAX. A Federal law provides an 8% war tax on transportation and requires that cmdudars ascertain and that.passengers state their destination; and on the New London Line lcavmg the Coflege, and on the WAilli- mantic Line after leaving Taftville for Willimantic, an amount sufficient to cover the war tax to the final destination will | be collected, and a receipt issued by the conductor will be retained by the passenger as evidence that his war tax has beAI paid to the destination. On the Central Village Line and in the opposite direction on the Willimantic-New London Line, the same imng& ment will apply. The register used is simply one of those 20th century brain and labor saving mechanisms rigged to serve our par- ticular business. Similar devices, used to simplify clerical work and protect. thousands of cash-handling employes, are in universal use. ADVANTAGES UNDER THIS NEW OPERATION STAND OUT PROMINENTLY THE PASSENGER pays his cash fare by easily insertin g his nickel into the hand-held register instead of placing same in the conductor’s hand. The accustomed physical act of pay ment is not so much changed as merely utilized, There is no hardship. THE CONDUCTOR is relieved of registering farés. Collection means registration and the conductor’s instant pos- session of all cash, as usual. The entire transaction involving payment, registration and delivery is accomplished auto- matically and instantly at passenger’s finger tips. All this saves time, labor, and eliminates the old unavoidable annoy- ance of jostling passengers during the old “‘ring up” process. of memory or optional intent. The correct audit of all cash collected is no longer a matter The conductor is relieved of mental accounting. His integrity is protected from slurs and unjust suspicions. Instead of collecting fares in “burches,” carrying the record in his mind until able to reach the register cord, the conductor now realizes that each passenger knows his fare is registered the instant of payment. Excited passen- gers cannot now “ring up” cash fares by mistake, as formerly, or dispute rearding denomination of coin paid, whether a nickel or quarter, etc. The chance for honest financial error is eliminated along with any plausible basis for excusing in- tentional irregularities. - This means a “square deal” without casting reflections or imposing hardships. WE ASK OUR PATRONS TO REMEMBER, PLEASE, ( —that the old method of paying car-fare is now being rapidly discarded all over the country —that the method of paying fares into collecting-registers, or coin-counting boxes, etc. (the conductor simply supply- ing full charge, but having nothing to do with registering fares)—this method is now regarded as the modern, non-trouble making, mutually-fair and businesslike system; —that the slight change in passenger’s physical act of payment, when results accomplished are considered, constitutes - no hardship or basis for grievance from any able-bodied passenger. The system is identical with collection principles on pre-payment cars. Thousands of these registers are in sucuss- 2 ful use by conservatively managed companies in many large cities. : PLEASE HAVE YOUR NICKELS READY. READ NOTICE POSTED IN OUR CARS. The passenger tendering 5 pennies will be handed a nickel, in exchange, for insertion. CONDUCTOR ALWAYS RETURNS FULL CHANGE. We solicit the co-operation of our patrons and a willingness to show reasonable patience until our conductor become accustomed to the slight changes made in their work. e
