FARMERS SAY NO MONEY IN MILK BUSINESS | While the average person who pays 15 cents for a quart of milk may think the price is pretty high, in comparison with the days when 6 cents was considered a fair return for the same amount of lac- teal fluid, many of the New London coun- ty farmers who are now engaged in the milk business are either reducing the number of their cows are getting ready to sell out altogether. There are three milk forms in North Waterford that will dispose of cows and stop selling milk in the near future. Sev- eral others will only keep a few cows and give up a part of their customers. The farmers say there is no money in selling milk at present prices, and quite a number of them, rather than to charge more, Will retire until such time as the expense of production is reduced. t the past two Il prve o arite e (Friday) evening soviet government. ing, milk bottles are expensive, and when the loss from bad bills is figured in there is little incentive to work for the benefit of the public.

Mr. Wohlleben was also regarded the hospital as being in a very serious rdition. He was operated upon by Dr. | B Overlook. Mr. Filligar has several oken ribs, but he is mot dangerously t and his recovery is expected. At St. Joseph's hospital at Willimantic it was stated that Mrs. Wohlleben is not sly hurt and that she felt so well Sun’ay afternoon that she asked to be pe-imitted to return to her home, but the hostal authogjties thought best that she rewamn there. Her son, Walter, is suffer. ing only from shock. He is not seriously injured. The party that figured”7in the accident | was en route from Taftville to Rocky Point, R. I, to spend Sunday. The cross- ing where the accident occurred is a bad one and is protected only by an electric signal gong, which was working at the time of the accident, it was declared by other people in the vicinity, but Mr. Filli- gar, who was driving, evidently did not hear it.

The feast |}y takes its name from the little chapel of |8 St. Mary given to St. Francis by the|[B Benedictines, where according to tradi- tion, Our Lord, appearing to St. Fran- cis, offered to grant any request he might make. The saint asked pardon! for the sins of all who would visit the Portiuncula on August 2. The indulgence, or the great pardon, as it is sometimes called, could at first be gained only in the Portiuncula chapal between the afternoon of Augus: 1 and sunsct of the following day. Later it was extended to all faithful, who afrer confession and holy communion visited specified churches on the appoinrted das The indulgence may be gained each time a visit is made to the ciurcn and a prayer said for the intention of the pope. the indulgence resulting from the an. cumulation of graces acquired by prayer and good works. It is the custom fo ask God to apply these to the benefit of the waiting souls in Purzatory.

TOWN OF GROTON TO IMPROVE HIGHWAYS Additional appropriations totaling $10,500 were voted at a special meeting of the town of Groton at the town house at Poquonnoc Friday evening. The ap- propriations voted are $7,500 for town highways, $1500 for borough streets and $1,500 for cure of poor and insane. A petition asking that the selectmen be authorized to lay out a public street for Brandegee avanue was laid upon the table until the borough takes action. The selectmen were empowered to take steps necessary to protct the interests of thé town of Groton in the present Qiffi- cuties with the New London ferry com- mission. Groton Long Point, the colony of which has for the past eight or ten years struggled with “tar-heeled road- Wways” as one champion expressed it Fri- ¥ day evening, was voted $1,000 of the ad- ditional appropriation for roads of the town, the original motion asking $6,000 being ameded to read $7,500, Accounting For H.

Many an officer could speak most highly of the pluck and valour of these, men. The only murmur I_heard was that ‘before the war we weére not wanted on the earth. Now they want us to fight for them.
