The annual meeting and outing of the New England Monumental Dealers’ asso- siation, composed of retail granite deal- #rs, ‘was held Wednesday in Westerly, and delegates and friends numbering pearly 100 were in attendance. A busi- ness session was held in the morning at the Rhode Island hotel followed by an inspection of the granite cutting plants and quarries in the town of Westerly. 'The visitors were guests of the local members of the Granite Manufacturers’ mssociation during the inspection and at the shore dinner served at Watch Hill in the early afternoon. For. the past 75 years Westerly has been noted as a granite center throughout the world and as producer of the very finest granite for monumental and building work. When the very best of granite is wanted, West- erly has the call. It was. the generally ‘expressed opinion among the dealers in granite, as stated by the dean of the busi- ness: “There is lots of excellent granite elsewhere but none that can compare with ‘Westerly when the finest work is wanted. It costs a little more than some other yranite, but it is worth all it costs.” The visitors were very hospitably en- table use — just - right for coolk- - ing; =92 THE LA VIDA ELECTRIC VIBRATOR 50. respect.

WESTERLY tertained and learned a profitable lesson in the granite industry while in Westerly. Selectman Frederick Boulter of Pawea- tuck, who receives his mail through the Westerly postoffice, failed to receive the jsemi-annual dividend of $10.63 on his Liberty bond. He was in New Jersey last October when the check was due to arrive and on his return home did not receive the expected check. He waited for a month or more and then took the matter up with the treasury department. He received notice that the check was forwarded from Washington Oct. 15 and he was requested to make an inquiry at the local postoffice. This he’did, but with- out success. The treasury department finally informed Mr. Boulter that the can- celled check had been received and bors his signature of endorsement. Mr. Boulter doubted. Tuesday Mr. Boulter received a photo- static copy of the check, front and back. The check was dated Oct. 15, 1919, and made payable to Frederick Boulter, with street number -in Mechanic street. On the back of the check was endorsed the name Frederick Boulter. It showed that payment was made on the check Oct. 19, by the Merchants’ National bank of Bos- ton, and that payment was received by the Federal Reserve bank, Boston, Oct. 20. Mr. Boulter declares the signature to be a forgery and that the forger is cer- tainly familiar with his signature or had his signature at hand when the ‘forgery was committed. The forged name is an | exact reproduction of Mr. Boulter's sig- nature of several years ago. As age ad- vances Mr. Boulter's hand is unsteady and his signature shows the trembling| effect. All character of Mr. Boulter's | handwriting is shown in the forged name. As the amount involved is small, Mr. Boulter is not inclined to insist on an in- vestigation with the expectation of de- tecting the forger. He will, however, demand payment from the treasury de- partment. and if there is an investigation it will come from another source, Nick Morris’ passenger ’'hus that has Deen operating in opposition to the Watch Hill trolley line was not in service on Wednesday. There is a substantial rea- son for the lay-off. The driver in addi- tion to running on the Watch Hill line also carries workmen back and forth from Stonington. He is a resident of Paweatuck in that town and it is pre- sumed that his ‘bus bears a Connecticut | public service registration and that he s in Rhode Isiand under a special oper: local license. On the trip from Stoning- ton . Tuesday afternoon, in making the turn at Elm and Cutler streets, the 'bus | smashed into a telenhone pole and was | considerably damaged. The passengers were considerably shak- {en up, but only two were injursd. Flor- ence McCarthy sustained a fracture of the left collarbone and William Murphy received a severe cut in the face. Public {service cars in Connecticut are under bonds to meet cases of this character to pay for injuries to passengers to an amount not in excess of $10,000. | The Infantry hall preperty in Provi- ! dence, which includes a four-story brick { building | has been purchased by the Church House ; corporation and will be utilized for relig- fious and charitable work.

HE Grand Pass from New York City to Canada lies up the Hudson River and Lake Champlain, where lived the dreaded Iroquois. Between the head of the river and the foot of the lake is a Portage (as the rough paths between the lakes were called,) that has become famous in history. Its soil has been trodden by the t‘eeth'of such men as Champlain, : Johnson, Abercrombie, Montcalm and Burgoyne. In the wars ¢ between the French and English, it echoed with the war whoops of brutal savages and the cries of helpless pioneers and settlers. During the Revolutionary war it plaved an important and historic part. s % » T is to tires of established reputation, tires that have earned a name for big Mileage and dependable Service, that we emtrust our automobiles and their burdens today, on the great highways Trust Portage Tires— They're Dealies é;zyw{&zs."*’ it 1t was to experienced pathfinders, the Indian guides and trappers, that our ancestors entrusted their safety, their » canoes and their baggage on their perilous journeys of exploration and settlement. ~ Especially in traversing the Portzages, were keen eyes, quick ears and sure feet needed.
