In this city a® in other cities drink- ers of jakey have been the cause of most of the arrests, the drinkers of real red liquor being far in the minority. The federal officers.have been busy in this during the year just passed with the result that two dealers who were dis- pensing liquor containing over one and one-half per cent., have been forced out of business. A great cry went up when prohibition became effective, but a trip through the eity will show that every house that was vacated by the saloon- keeper has been taken over by some oth- er type of business. The following table shows how the ar- rests for the past year compare with an- be the those of 1919 by months. Arrests for drunkenness are separate from the total for each month.

Retailers give Prime hind quarters are selling at 35 to 40 cents a pound, wholesale. Some- | thing over two weeks ago the price for | whole carcasses was from 17 to 19 cents per pound. Retail prices now prevailing in the city are: for so-called choice cuts, {round steak 35 cents per pound, sirloin 35 to 42 cents, short steaks and tender- loin 45 to 50 cents. Most of the dealers state that their cheap cuts have not ad- vanced but the advance in choice cuts is necessary owing té the 10 cents raise wholesale Within the past two weeks. The local depot of Swift & Co. give the same reason fof this advance that has been, held out when other advances Were made, scarcity of cattle in the country due to large shipments overseas during the war, high price of grain and lack of help on ranches. Many dealers claimed that cheap cuts no longer suited the taste of the people, even the poorer classes de- manding the best cuts, thus keeping the prices up. The Connecticut Company will make another change in the running time of the Willimantic-Norwich trolley line to take effect” this (Saturday) evening. This change will be in the time for the last car out of this city another car being added that is to leave Willimantic at 10.15 (standard time). Not long ago this trolley was taken off and the run- nin gtime of the last trolley set at 9.25 (standard time), the company stating that patronage on the 10.15 trolley did not pay for the extra trip. ~Peojple liv- ing in South Windham and the summer guests at the Willimantic camp grounds got in touch with the company, following the removal of the 10.15 trolley, asking that it be put back as they Were una- ble to attend any of the theatres of Wil- limantie, visit with friends, or take in any activities whatsoever while the trol- ley left at 9, Walking had become a habit of many people on Windham road to thi n.

Through her friend, Daisy Van Ness, another chorus giri, she meets a wealthy stage door joannie, Geoffrey Stanhope, and aroases hia curiosity :nd interest by repelling his advances. He gives her his card, telling her significansly that he can be found there if she ever i needs him. She scornfully puts away the card, firmly resolving that nothing will induck her to accpet hig offer, but some time later her lover falls sick and frets because he cannot fulfill his ambition to relieve the sufferings of the poor. She realizes that his worry must be alleviated or he will not recover, and decides to sacrifice herself so that he may lve. Stanhope gives her the key to his apart- ment.
