LIPTLE COMMUNICABLE DISEASE REPORTED FROM THIS TOWN Two cases of scarlet fever and four sases of measles were reported from Norwich last week, according to the weekly morbidity report issued by the state department of health for the week ending April 17. The following commu- nieable diseases wero reported from towns in eastern Connecticut during the week: Diphtheria—Jewett City 2; Groton 3; Rockville 1; Sterling 1. Whooping Cough—Hampton T. Scarlet fever—Norwich, 2; Sterling 1; Thompson 1. Measles—East Lyme, 3; Groton 2; New London, 52; Norwich, 4; Old Lyme 1; Stonington 3, Columbia 1; Danfelson 3 A threatened shortage of chlorine for disinfection of water in the state has Peen temporarily averted by prompt and energetic action by the state department of health. The situation has been pre- earfous for some time, water companies being unable, because of poor transpor- tation, to receive their regular supplies of chiorine and with the advent of the raflroad strike, the situation became most slarming. One large supply had only a Aay and a half's reserve when the com- »ilssioner took the matter up. An appeal was made to the publie utilities commission to arrange, if pos- sible, for releasing chlorine tied up on the road. They were also asked to se- cure special authority for a carload ship- ment from Niagara Falls to Hartford. Saturday. after considerable delay, au- therity was secured for a preferred shipment from Niagara Falls {o Hart- ford and the ear is now on the way and will arrive in Hartford within two or ‘hree days. The commissioner, realizing the wur- gemcy of the case and upon the advice of the attorney general, sent a highway department {ruck to Long Island City for a lot of ten tubes which had been tocated in a manufacturing establishment in that citv. This arrived in Hartford on Eunday. Arrangements have also been made with the highway department for futvre installments to be secured by mo- tor truck from Niagara Falls, if neces- Lt here are twenty-eight water supplies ta th& state using chlorine and in the #pring the necessity for chlorination is much greater than at any other time in the year the swollen streams and the large amount of surface was thrown into the reservoirs at this time of the year s likely to result in serious contami- mation which chlorination destroy. twenty-eight supp furnish Wwater to approximately 900,000 #nd there would be great likelihood of outbreaks of dysentery or typhoid fever i chlorinated water could not be sup- pled. Tt is not many years ago that there were 500 deaths annually from ty- phoid fever in Connecticut. Last year there were but 56 and much of this sav- thg of life is attributed to the use of chilorine. Until the railroads get back on a nor- mal basis, chiorine will be distributed to the various water compnales of the state by the state department of health.. Prac- teally all chlorine is manufactured in Niagara Falls, which makes motor truck iransportation expensive, but the sup- ply which is expected to arrive this week will tide over the emergency for the entire state for at least six weeks and it is hoped by that time that the railroads will get back to normal. CONNECTICUT 0. 15 TO FIGHT LOWER TROLLEY FARE The Connectieut Co. issued a statement Wednesday at Hartford to the effect that it would appeal to the superior court from the recent decision of the public utilities commission, establishing reduced Tates on commutation tickets. The Q_:temenz says the action will be taken ‘10 preserve our fundamental ri this time.” g The appeal will have no effect on the new schedule, effective May 2.

THE BUTTER-BEEAD BANDIT. Like some bold bandit prince he came, His eyes aflash, his soul aflame: His rainment was of bandit style, He wore a bandit's careless smile. His swagger stride, 'twas plain to see, Was born of practiced tyranny; His armament was crude enough, And yet it bore 3 mighty bluft. He harkened for his ‘cold commands To each of us to raise our hands; Instead he passed—as grim as gore— Then vanished through the kitchen.door. We lstened—1listened till we heard His mother get the fatal word: “You'd better git some butter-bread Or peril lies upon your head!" His mother called for help—but, no? Not one of us would dare to go! 1 “You'd better feed the knave, “That bandit wants some butter-bread ™ The bandit laughed in fiendish glee, | He'd won his battle bloodlessly! Then soon we saw him marching by, A look of triumph in his eye. His mother called for help—But, no! Fast in his clutches he displayed The profits of his daring raid. Down on the steps he boldly sat, A soul content and waxing fat. How eagerly he downed each crumb; He smacked his lips, he licked his thumb. Then came a. yawn—long, sSweet and deep— Our boid, bad bandit was asleen! —William Hershell in Tndianapolis News. TALK TO WIDE- AWAKES, All of the Wide-Awakes are of course well aware of the fact that spring is here again, that the attractions of winter are gone, and that new life is to be seen on every side. It is to be moticed in the green grass, the budding trees and the plants and flowers that are coming I forth from thelr winter's sleep. It is a time not only for noticing all the wonderful things that nature does, and does so well, but it {s when much that is fascinating and instructive can be learned about nature. There is no more favorable time for watching the bulbs shoot up from the ground, Where they have been frozen in solidly all winter, and burst forth into blossom, the shrubs to put forth their leaves and then their | flowers, the commen plants to come up from seeds and the many wild flowers, of which the arbutus is the first, to come along in their season to make the world brighter. There are not many of the Wide- Awakes but what like flowers of all kinds. More of them like them than are able to cail them by name when they see them, but every one should know the common wild varieties to be found in the park, in the fields, in the woodland or by the roadside. And while the chil- dren are alert to find and report. the different flowers as they bloom there Is much that they can learn about the haunts and habits of the plants and much they can do in the way of culti- vating pretty flower gardens of their own.

Mary was doing her arithmetic, which she did not like, 28 it was a hard prob- lem. All of a sudden she swung the book across the floor, when she heard a tiny voice say, “My, what a fall.” She got down on her hands and looked through all the pages and said, “I can't see where that voice came from.” Just then a little fairy jumped out and said, “You ought to be careful with your books. You hurt the fairies that live tn_them.” Mary apologized and said, “I will be careful in the future’” Then the fairy helped her with her hard problem. Then she heard her mother saying, ‘Mary, wake up!” and'she found it was a dream. MARIE JOHNSON, Age 13. New London. BY WIDE- A Faithful Servant, ' Once there lived a king, who liked faithful men. One day he got two men and brought them to a well, where there were two baskets. He had the men put the baskets in the well and draw the water out. The king then left them to themselves, saying that he would re- turn in the evening. After working for a long while one of the men threw down his basket and said, “I will not work another minute, for as quick as we draw the water it goes out through the holes in the basket.” The other one said, “As for you, you may go, but for me, I will stay, for we are paid for doing this.” The other man put away his basket and went away. In the ev- ening when the man that remained faithful went to put his basket away, also, he saw something glittering in the bottom of the basket. Stooping to pick it up he at once saw it was a ring of great value which was scooped at the bottom of the well. When the king returfied that same ev- ening, and saw the ring he said, “Here is the one to be trusted. He then put the man at the head of all the servants in his castle, ‘WILLIAM DURR, Age 10.

Most of them thought it was a ghost, but I had my ideas. ‘The next night a yardman named Joe was knocked off a stump on Which he was sitting and his hat was taken.

One night my mother was busy ironing and she told me to get the supper. I got the hamburg steak. all ready and fried that. : : ¢ I peeled the potatoes and put them on the stove to cook. A Poor. Boy. Once there was a little boy, only 7 years of age. His father and mother died when he was a little baby. He had lived - with® his grandmother for . seven vears. He would go from house to house selling newspapers. His grandmother wouldn’t take any money .from him for he only earned $10 a week. Fred would put $5 in the bank every week. The five dollars which he had left he kept for spending money. When Fred got to be 17 years old, he thought he would do something else than selling newspapers. Fred got a job in a grocery store waiting on people. Fred got more than $10 a week there. His grandmother was growing old and $10 would not support Fred and his grandmother. When Fred got to be about 19 or 20 he caught the influenza and died. That was the end of Fred's poor days, but his grandmother felt so bad because he was the only grandson she ever had. Fred's grandmother did not have anyone to stay with her. She had a sister in Westerly, R. L She sold all of her furniture and rugs and went to live with her sister for all of the rest of her life. HARRIET ROCKWELL, Age 14. New London. Adventures of a Plece of Writing Paper. I was trying to write a letter to one of my friends when my attention turned from my letter to the birds and flowers outside. I was now watching them for perhaps 2 half hoyr when I heard a soft, distant, pinkey, silvery voice calling out in its bell-like tones: “Do you want te know my adventures? I looked around and, seeing no one, thought I was imag- ining things, when the voice said: “Look down here.’ I looked down and what was it but my favorite box of pink linen writing paper staring up at me. Surely T wanted to hear the adventures, so Miss Linen Writing Paper hegan. “I was born in' Ireland, in some wet mud and sand, and before I was 2 years old T was pulled up by some wicked hand. My lovely cradle T had to leave to start my adveniures in this world. The people that puiled my up sent me to some sort of an old, ugly, forlorn, red- brick building called a mill. where I was made into a lovely linen tablecloth with shamrocks and butterflies embroidered all over me “I was then sent to 'a store where a voung lady bought me. T was admired by all, and stayed in that house seven long years. 1 was then quite threadbare when she threw me into a bag and an old man carried me to another building. T was then soaked and hoiled (any crea- ture would have died. but T didn’t) tinn at last I was a nice long white piece of paper. ! ‘ “I was then cut Into writing paner size, dyed pink, starched and ironed till T was worse than any man's collar.

He has 2 man run a truck for him. They use this truck .to carry away the sanl te the places where.-it is sold. The framework of the sifter is almost as high as a house.

Two are for sand, one for gravel and one for very fine gravel. Saturdays and holldays my three brothers and I like to go and watch the sifter run and see the: men load the trucks. Sometimes the trucks get into 2 mud- hole and get stuck. Then they have to jack up the wheel or throw off the load. HERMAN CHASE, Age 10. * Gales Ferry. A Visit to Hartford.

One Saturday morning my mother, fa- ther and I took the 9.45 train to New London. From Norwich to New' London we rode along side of the Thames river where we saw some boate. Then when we got to New London we had a little lunch and then we took the train to New Haven. We passed the shore and I was wishing I lived near it. Once in a while we could catch a glimpse of Long Island. We reached New Haven at about 12.47. We then went to Child’s restaurant where we had our dinner. Then we went to Fritz and Douley’s store where we waited for my cousin. She came after a wait of about ten minutes to take us to her house in the automobile. We saw the college buildings on the way. I had a nice time while I was there.

The Foreign Stamp.- ‘It was a very raipy day, A boy of thirteen was in the big sitting room, in- terested in a book when his mother ask- ed him to go to the post office. He did not want to go on account-of his being comfortable and going out the rain was not very comfortable. might as well. go. Suppose we ha®. a. letter with a foreign stamp. and besides Mr. Logan may have a letter, you know." So he went to the post office which was a quarter of a mile distant. There wasn't any letter for his mother, but Mr. Logan had ope and a foreign letter too. He went to carry the letter to Mr. Lo- gan. Arriving there he asked the house- keeper to let him give the letter to Mr. Logan, and she fold him he could. “Mr, Logan, please may I have the stamp on that letter?” asked the boy. “You see I take every foreign stamp I can get and I would like that one.” « answered Mr. Logan, “you ga- thér foreign stamps?" I am glad for T ‘will give you. 2 whole lot." It was a boy with a joyous heart who ‘went home, for the very thought of these stamps made him happy. ISOLA BLANCHARD, Age 13. Tattville.

Buckland _in reply to un inquiry said- . the company's ‘holdings of Boston & Maine stock was still -in-the hands of -trustees under. an order to sell by October, 1920. The stock vote for direcwrs was 924, 295, -and on other propositions on ‘the vatlot 924,200 " with no- contrary vetes. The stockholders -elected rectorate 'T. Dewitt Cuyler, d phia, Edward Milligan, Hartford, F. T M.axweH, Rockville, John T; Prat.t Howe ard Eiliott, J. Horace Harding of New York, James L. Richards and Joseph B. Russel, Boston, F. W. Matteson, Provi- dence, R. L; W. B. Lasher,: Bridgeport; Harris Whittemore, Naugatuck; A. T. Hadley “E. G. Buckland, Benjamin Campbell and E. J. Pearson, New Ha- ven. The changes were that President Pearson, who was off the board while serving as federal manager, returned to it and Vice President Campbell took the place of Secretary A. E. Clark as a di- rector. The meeting by ballot authorized the officers to act in all questions and matters relative to the use, control and operation of the property -by the fi?:;“m government ; authorized a new loan the United States government for roiling stock not to exceed $4,165,000; ratified and approved of an equipment trust agreement with Walker D. Hines .caver- ing collection of- rolling stock at a cost not to exceed §4.513.000, and the issu- ance of equipment trust certificates not to exceed the latter amount. President Pearson called attention to the annual statement ,of the com- pany and verbally added to it by eit- ing some of the ‘changes now going on, beginning with the relinquishment on March 1 of federal control and resump- tion of corporate operation. He ‘said that business of the company since the armistice was signed has been expand- ing contrary to the impression that a slump would tome. Industries have been expanding and no less than 100 in- dustries served by the company have made extensive develapments and many others have large undertakings to in- crease fthe size of their plants. The New Haven road, Mr. Pearson &ald, was sure to benefit by these enlargements and it will be under no obligation to build to meet this expansion of business. It has become a measure of the ability of the road to meet and handle the traf- fic which is now and will:be to increase its.capacity and at the same time en- management fully realizes that it serves a territory exciusively and that the pub- lic as well as its stockholders.must' have its interests carefully looked after. President Pearson spoke of the new law which provides that railroads must earn a certain percentage, and he said that his company will make an effort to have: rates Increased so that there will be no question of ‘its -earning what the law requires. He spoke of some operat- ing problems, and of the need' of two freight terminals which are now being built. ~ He expressed a hope that under the new ways the company’s prosperity would be marked. He sald that the government had been very helpful in lines marked out during federal control. suggesting, ways of administration along As to financial matters of the company Mr. Pearson called. upon Vice President Buckland to speak, the. latter. having administered the property from that basis during the period of government operation. 2 Mr. Buckland sald that the refunding plan of the company would not be acted upon now as- the director general and the_taillroad mhanagement ‘are not agreed upon a plan. A spectal meeting will-be called when the plan is developed. In the meantime the company’s indebtedriess of $4.300,000 has been presented-to the director of the treasury that this and all other indebtedness to the government can remain as such at six per’cent. un- til the time the plan is worked out for refunding. . The . matter before the stockholders now was to give the ai- rectors powers to wind up affairs of federal control. As to revaluation of the property this will be completed soon. The federal bureau has filed a. prelim- inary report on bufldings and other property aside from land of which a separate valuation is being made. The inventories have been made by a com- mittee of the directors and while it is yet impossible to give definite fizures as- surances are that all that is clalmed for the property will be attained. The law as to rates was explained by Mr. Buckland who sald that the Inter- state Commerce Commission 1s under mandate to provide such as will reha- bilitate the road. The government ad- vanced approximately seventeen mfl- lions and the company owes the gov- ernment between . five and six mililon. Previous to federal control President Pearson anticiyited wants and got In twelve million dollars worth of supplies while the normal amount is seven and |ceased afe hereby. notified a half millions. The government bound to pay for those supplies or give equivalent in supplies. Mr. PBuckland said there was considerable taik about the povernment handing the . railroads something. It would be a foolhardy expense of operation or labor. fore increased rates is the only way pos- sible now. The hope is that the New Haven will receive at least. 5 1-2 per of its property. Mr. Buckland believed. can hardly stand rates that will provide 5 1-2 per cent hut it wonld he hardly falr to try “néw that lots of teams - i i 1 man who would talk about decreasing| DISTRICT OF There- | bate Court, ss., cent. and possibly six on a fair valuation |of Probate for the ‘ New England shippers. | ville, I will seli cerfain ‘real estat e e et JAMES FUMIGNARO, CONTRACTOR, Stome, Comerete Work asd Excavatiaz.
