F. and , stated communication at Masonic Office, of is Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock members of St. Mary's Roman Catholie church will launch a .campaign for $60.- 000 the money raised to be used in three ways, to clear up the church debt, to decorate the interior of fhe edifice and ‘o erect a new rectory. Alphonse Chag- non is general director of the drive. Monc evening Sacred Heart church of Taftville went over the quota that the | parishioners had set out to raise and the | great enthusiasm displayed by the Taft- viile parishioners has stirred Willimantic Cath who will, without doubt, raise the qu set for them. Fifteen teams have Leen selected, each being asked to raise $4,000. The drive will be from § o'clock until 8 o'clock on the remain- ing days of the week. day when the time limit will be later at night. In order to stimulate interest in the campaign the committee will erect r..-..T—_ i After the Dance take a bath with H {LACO CASTILE SOAP ' and see how it gently cleanses H and refreshes your skin. 00 20 o excepting Satur- | a bulletin board in front of the church and the totals from day to day' will be displayed. St. Mary's hall has been | made campaign headquarters and teams lare to return there with their reports | after 8 o'clock. Rev. J J.. Papilon, pas- { tor of the church, has the backing of his | parishiiners in this drive and local mem- | bers will rise to meet the situation as well as did the generous Catholics in | Taftville, where the membership is much smaller. St. Mary's church, since its erection in | 1903, has grown in membershin. The building erected at a cost of $100,000 has never been decorated and th esuccess of the drive will mean finishing the interior { within a short time. | As to the need of a new rectory there can be no doubt as the present one was | remodeled froi a tenement hous: and is |too small. Sufficient funds being raised, future pur- i a rectory that will answer | poses is planned. The first open air concert of the sum- | mer will be given Thursday evening on | Lincoin square, by the White Eagle Pol- ish-American band. - Members of the {band feel that the public has greatly | 2»d them in their organizing and seek |to show appreciation in this manner. The band members will meet at their | quarters on lower Main street at 7 | o'clock and will march to the headquart- ers of the American band on Chuch | street to meet C. N. C. Wheeler, thefr nstructor and William C. Smith of the | American Thread Company employment | department. The band will then merch to Lincoln square. Members will make their first appearance in new uuiforms. Willimantic has reason to be proud of this band. 1\ was orgdnized September MURRAY'S BOSTON STORE Willimantic, Conn.

Under the -d‘r‘ect}g‘l, of ' Mr." Wheeler ' members have held two-veh each week and t d resilts will be ap- parent Thursday’ evening. ‘William G Smith who has taken great ~interest in the Polish people, states: that the concert will be a surprise to .the Willimantic public. o : After consideration for several months, the town school board agreed Monday evening that the school house at ‘Wind- ham Center should be repaired but that owing to present costs -of building and material, it would not be advisable now to erect a ne’ wstructure in that place. During the past few years. $35,000 was raised by the town for the erection of a new school building at that place, but after specifications for 'comstructing a new building had been Teceived by the school board it was readily seen that any structure that would s\tisfy the res- idents of Windham Center, was out of the question owing to_the cost of ma- terials. Plans had bee ndrawn for a one story structure of brick,"79 by 50 feet. This construction would:appear too much like, a2 mill and would Hot meet the ap- proval of the people. Additional taxa- tion for a large amount woull not meet with favor from the people.* Repairs on the old structure will cost from $3,000 to §4,000 and will last for for several years, this would be’a saving on.the principal of $30,000 needed to erect a real school building as the interest on this amount in two years would more than pay the ex- pense of repairs. The annual free city-wide schoel swim- ming campaign will start Thursday at the Y. M. C. A. and all schodl children who can pass physicaln tests. will be admitted to the classes. Applications ' for physical tests can be obtained ai the Y building from J. B. Dougal of Windham ’street school, or from J. L. Hirroun, of Nat- chaug. This campaign lasts from June 17th to July 3rd., The chlldren will be in charge of expert swimmers and all children from 8 to 14 .years will be al- lowed to enter th epool. The classes have been arranged as follows: Boys 8 to 11 years Monday and Thursday, 9 to 10 a. m.; 11 to 14 years, Monday and Thursday 10 to 11 a. m. Girls 8 to 11 years, Tues- day and Friday, 9 to 10 a. m. .11 to 14 vears, Tuesday and Friday, 10 to 11 a. m. Edward J. Ottenheimer of this city received the degree of bachelor of sci- ence during ‘the commencement exercises at the *University of Virginia. He bad two more years in which to complete his medical courst. At a recent election he was chosen secretary of the medical de- partment. for the' coming year.” He is a membérs of Sigm Phi Epsilon and of Phi Beta Phi Heédical Fraternity. Stephen E. Cary died Tuesday merning at St. Joseph’s Hospital, after an illness of some duration. ! Mrs. Julia Hawkins, widow of Clark Reynolds, died Monday at' the private hos- pital, having been in failing health for some time. Mrs. Reynolds was born in Griswold, March 10, 1842, -the daugh- ter of John C. and Sally Tucker Hawkins. Mrs. Reynolds was married and her hus- band died four weeks later. She " had taught school at Griswold and Lebanon, most of her life being spent’ in the latter place. For twenty-five years she has lived in this city, at the home of her sis- ter, Mrs. Lucy Hill, anl later with her niece, Miss Emma L. Hull. Mrs. Rey- nolds was an active member of the Meth- odist Episcopal church and of the Ladies’ Aid society, King’s Daughters, and W. C. T. U. She is ‘survived by her brother, John C. Hawkins of Jewett City; twe nephews, John K. Hawkins of Norwich and Frank E! Hull of South Coventry, and a niece, Miss Emma Hull, of South Coventry. A special session of the Windbam county superior court was held in this city Tuesday afternoon, commencing at 1.30 o'clock, Judge John K. Keeler of Stamford on the bench. Testimony in the case of Mrs. Rose A. Capen of this city from the finding of .the commission- ers on the claim of Arthur P! Elisworth against the estate of the late Attorney Charles A. Capen. Mr., Ellsworth was previously allowed $222.01.for labor and materials furnished the late Mr. Capen and alleged not paid for by the commis- sioners, who were Tawn Clerk Frank P. Fenton and Thomas Murray, when no evidence at the time was.introduced by the attorney for Mrs. Capen, executrix of the estate. Several witnesses for the plaintiff were put on the stand during the afterncon. Mr. Ellsworth was asked to read his accounts for the years when it was alleged the work unpaid for -was done. Attorneys for- the defense intro- duced as evidence several checks, some of which he had no account of. The total of the checks. unagcounted ' for amounted to well over $100. Mr. Elis- worth later stated that the $100 check shown was for something else, not of the part pertaining to this case. He told how he had collected for Mr. Capen from ten- ants in the lower village. He received 6 per cent. commission here; he said, and was allowed the use of some property for his work. When Mr. Capen was in Cali- fornia he collected the rents and deducted his percentage, but did not do so in the rents of the upper village, as the agree- ment did not tell him to. He lived on a property owned by Mr. Capen and paid rent. As far as he was concerned there was ill feeling towards Mr. Capen on his part and she thought the same towards him. Mrs. Anna M. Richmond was called to testify and stated that she had kept house for Mr. Ellsworth for several years. Mr. Ellsworth had always wanted elec- tricity put into the-house in which he lived and Mr. Capen finally settled it with him by allowing him to put in gas in two rooms. The gas' was to be put in pro- vided the walls. were not touched. By piping the gas into- theshouse and running these pipes along the ceiling it would be allowed and Mr. Capen agreed to pay for it. Mr. Ellsworth had the .pipes put in. She thought this was in 1913. She got through at the house in-1919 in the month of May. She was of the opinion the bill was never paid and said Mr. Capen often let things run a long time. Mr. Ellsworth was collecting redt during all the years afterwards. e ¢ Michael Chalioux was, called and testi- fied that he had worked for Mr. Ells- worth. He lived on Main street, this city. The work done for Mr. Ellsworth was cutting down shade trees and moving a stone wall. - He did not help build the shed. When questiohed by the attorney for the defense he stated that he kept his sawing machine in the shed after it was completed, paying Mr. Ellsworth 75 cents per week. The shed was built in 1914, His_gasoline engine and sawing outfit oc- cupied a goodly, portion of the shed; David Caya of Main street, this eity, a coremaker at a Jocal foundry. testified to digging a cellar, for Mr. Ellsworth- on Mr. Capen’s property. This took him about a week 'and a’ half, working nights. Ellsworth naid him. Mrs. Ellen. M.. Brown, mother of Mrs. Richmond, testified that ‘shé was living with Mr. Ellsworth and her daughter at the time the gas was. put in the house and that Mr: Capen saw 'the work after it was completed and said he would pay for it. He also told Mr. Ellsworth to build. the shed, but to-make it the best there was, as it fronted on the street. said he would pay for it. . Mr. Elswo! then bought the lumber and had it built. When questioned by = the = defense Mrs. Brown could not remember. any ‘dates concerning the work of either. - She had often talked with Mr. Capen. Court was adjourned until this (Wednesday) morn- ing at 10.20 o'clock, when the case will again be resumed. At the beginning of the ‘court State's Attorney Charles E. Searls recommended that Probation Officer Elmer M. Young be discharged from the case of James A. Matthews, Who was convicted of break- ing and entering’in this city last fall Mr. Searls stated that thié report of Mat- thews sinee this time had’ been perfect to go to baw‘- and now Matthews wanted.

Allan McArthur, of the local police force. On March 7, 1919, whiie William McArthur was returning from work on the railroad he noticed two men coming out of Watson street with boxes under their arms. He told this to his father and gave a description of the men, one of whom, Henry Roberts, wore a soldier's uniform. The arrest was made later ‘that day at the home ‘of Joseph Lachappelle.

Ruth Care and Responsibility. THE responsibility attached to the preparing of a remedy for infants and children is undoubtedly greater than that imposed upon the manufacturer of remedies for adults whose system is sufficiently strong to counteract, for a time at least, any Jinjurious drug. It is well to observe that Castoria is prepared today, as it has been for the past 40 years, under the personal supervision of Mr. Chas. H. Fletcher. What have makers of imitations and substitutes at stake? What are their responsibilities? To whom are they answerable? They spring up today, scatter. their nefarious wares broadcast, and disappear tomorrow. Could each mother see the painstaking care with which the prescription for ‘Fletcher's Castoria is prepared: could they read the innumerable testimonials from grateful mothers, they would never listen to the subtle pleadings and false arguments ‘of those who would offer an imitation of, or substitute for, the tried and true Fletcher's Castoria.
