Dayville, in a body. Headed by the Dayville Drum corps, as escort, the society, Moses H. Berth- jaume, Jr, Danielson, president, rched from the LaBelle building in Dayville to the church. Included in the society representation at’ the ser- vice were six of the seventeen mem- hers of the council that entered the mervice during the war. Rev. Ignatius pastor, was celebrant of the , and the sermon was preached by Father Hamel of the Dominican or- der. 8t. Anne’s church, Fall River.

Workmen excavating for the founda- tions for the big trestle that is to be built for the Quinebaug company near the tracks of the New Haven road. south of Franklin street and parallel with Dyer street, near the present coal dump of the mill company, unearthed the skeleton of a human being. Parts of the skull, the ribs and the leg bones were found lving in the position where the body had been at rest, un- doubtedly, for a great many vears. The excavators also came across another grave, but by orders of the foreman it was not disturbed. The bones that were dug up were buried about four | feet under the surface. Tradition here has it that the site! where the graves have been found is| an old Tndian burial ground and it is| assumed that the hones brought to light are those of some member of one of the tribes that made this section | their home many, many vears ago. Some residents of Danielson have in! Their possession Indian relica found in | the immediate territory here discussed. | These relics were picked up more than a score of years aro, when the old In- dian_burial zround. now ouite heavily wooded. was an obiect of more histor- ical interest than It has been of late| vears The bones that were dug un have heen reinterred in a new location near by. At Goodyear the Goodyear company has put in what is to be a modern and srlendidl equipped mill restaurant. The ne structure will be of brick, 100 hy feet. will occupy a location in the mill vard, opposite the new power plant, | Mills | foundations for| 4] y | and will be readv for use in two monthe. The building will be a one- story structure. The new restaurant is to have a modernly equipped steam and electric kitchen. this equipment alone costing | $7.000. The building will cost,complet- | ed about $16,000, Agent Robert W. :n)'! of the company stated on Sun- ay. The building is to be constructed to meet a pressing need of the Goodyear community and is one of the improve- ments in line with the concern’s pro- gressive policy of making as attractive and comfortable and convenient as possible the conditions under which its employes labor. The restaurant will be open 24 hours a day, seven days in the week. It will provide accommodations for 200 per- sons at one sitting and will be modeled after the great restaurant that the| Goodyear concern operates at the par- ent nlant at Akron, O. where 20,000 meals a day are served to employes. The service will be modeled on the cafeteria plan. Tn a village where a diversity of nationalities such as is found in Goodyear. it has been found to be quite Impossible to give meals in a hotel that will satisfy and nlease the tastes and tickle the palates of the persons of various nationalities. The new restaurant will solve this problem. The restaurant will he prepared to &érve each individwal just what he or che may want, within reasonable limi- tations. The service to the employes will be at cost, for the company does not desire to make one penny out of its_restaurant service The restaurant will be connected | with one of the wings of the mil building, =6 that employes need not go out of doors unless they care to in go- ing from their work to their mea Thie will be a consideration, especially | for the night workers and for all in| eold weather.

It will provide the means of teaching its employes who are not so equipped to read and write English and to know more of the United States and ideals. In Akron at the hig Goodyear plant thi sis made a feature of « the concern’s policy and employes who do not know the language of the country and who do not show an interest to acquire it are not considered so valu- able an asset to the concern as those who do show interest and make an ef- fort to learn, thereby placing them- selves in line for advancement with the company. Danielson will not feel tomorrow in the same degree as will many other places the shock of the coming of war- time prohibition. This place has been dry at least in name since Nov. 1 of last year, when Killingly changed from license to no-license, but with Put- nam gone as an oasis in the desert things will be somewhat different than they have been for many. All of which doesn’t go to establish that there isn't a young ocean of hooze stored away in local cellars of persons who can af- ford to invest in their thirst wants for the future. Jitney drivers here who failed to file a return and payment of federal tax in accordance with the Dl’cvi!‘?fl of a law governing their business were vis- jted by a government agent on Satur- day and required to come across, some of them paying a small fine in addition " to the tax. Miss Annie Bray, teacher at the Kil- lingly Center school, left Saturday morning with her mother to spend the summer at their cottage on Cape Cod. | Mr. and Mrs. J.

They will} visit first at Windsor, going thence| into the Berkshires and on to the| White mountain section of New Eng- land. Miss Alice Monohan, operator at the s central telephone office, leaves today | (Monday) to spend a vacation at the ) cottage provided by the company at ~NORWICH BULLETIN, which will not be as dry as the Tourths that are to come. Putnam is the only remaining li- cense town in this part of the county. Willimantie, in the- town of Windham, and the town of Sterling are the only other wet spots inthis coun:y. The property of the Fred Teft estate at 88 Mechanic street, was sold at public auction on Saturday by J. Carl Witter of Danielson. There was a large number at the sale anl the household goods were rapidly disposed ol. Soveral bidders for the real estate appeared .and it was finady struck cff to Jonas Carlson, who .5 employed in the mill of the French Textile com- pany-et Mechanicsville, for $4450. The | property includes a two and a half story dwelling, garage and small out- uildings. The month ‘that opens tomorrow will mark the opening of the summer courses at the State Trade school. These courses are open to persons not only in Putnam but in all of the sur- rounding towns and Milton Bentley, in charge of the school, will be pleased to give all information concerning them, The attention of the Farm bureau has been called recently to the depre- dations by worms in some corn fields. These tiny worms work their way into the stalks of corn and it is possible that they are corn borers, though this has not been established. This is the last day upon which 3- cent stamps will be required on let- ters. July 1 a 2-cent stamp will carry a letter anywhere in the United, States. LEBANON Mrs. Lynch of Yonkers, N.

With the advent of war-time prohi- | bition tomorrow a decided falling off in' the business of the Putnam city court is leoked for. It also has been| pointed out that the county’s revenue| is likely to show a decided decrease | as the result of prohibition. The ma-| jority of the prisoners who find their| way into Brooklyn jail get there he-} cause of becoming intoxicated. The Jail has showed substantial profits| from the earnings of prisoners in the past, but these are not likely to be made in the future, though no one will object on that account. Putnam people took the mews that the peace treaty had been signed in a very quiet manner. There was no spontancous outburst, as was the case when the armistice was signed, and it seems that the cessation of hostilities, to most minds appeared like the real finish of the war, as it was of the fighting. Ome bell rang out joyously Saturday afternoon to proclaim the glad tidings, but few got real enthusi- astic over the news. Jitney men in towns in this territory are being askcd to come across and pay a special federal tax that has been assessed against men who are engaged in transporting passengers by motur.l Scme who did not pay were called up- on to do so at the week-end and were assessed a small fine in addition. This is “The Day.” Tonight is ex- pected to bring the indefinite closing of Putnam's saloons and the placing of the most rigid ban on the sale of intoxicants that this generation of Putnam people can remember. The dealers take the situation phiiosophi- cally and are prepared for the con- tingency. They will not dismantle their places—simply lock them up and await the lifting of the war-time pro- hibition ban, which is expected within a few weeks, now that the peace trea. ty has been sigaed Putnam has been continuously in the “wet” column for more than a de- cade and for many additional vears with few exceptions. Just how the wets are going to take the situation is one of the things that is interesting many people. It was said on Sunday that local dealers did a land office business on Saturday, filling big orders from those who ~want a reserve aupn'y (o carry them over the dry days thai are at hand. Among the buyers were maiy from surrounding towns. Much of the buying, it s said, was done to,provide for gupplies for the coming holiday, com- the | Children Cry FOR- FLETCHER'S CASTORIA | Thursday at Hinckle the farewell reception —given Mi; Nellie 3 at Spring Manol Miss Drisco s taught very success- | fully Mansfield Depot for three { v but will not return the coming ! vear. la Mrs. Myron Hoxie spent Tuesday at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Clark of Liberty 11, .
