Though he is to remain atnis occapa- tion here in Danielson, Leonard Morrison will have a passenger motor ‘bus on the run between Portland and Ol1 Orchard Beach, Me, again this summer. Mr. Morrison has purchased one of the big machines formerly operated between Danlelson and Goodyear oy the Goodyzar Mills, Inc. J. Carl Witter was in Hampton con- ducting an auction Wednesday. A sight not often seen this spring is a stream of coal pouring throwsh chutes into cellors of orough hom2s. Watchful waiting seems to be the policy for many as to next winter's coal supply. Francls E. Storer, cashier, of the ‘Windham County National bank, was at New Haven Wednesday attending at the Taft hotel a meeting of the executive counvil of the Connecticut State Bank- ers’ association.

JOSEPH_CONNOR & SONS Distributor PUTNAM Putnam people are going to have an opportunity to vote on the liquor ques- tion within the next two weeks. Sounds rather startiing, doesn’t it, in view of the fact that old John Barleycorn was offi- cially laid away some few years back? He seems to be something of a live ghost, however, still haunting the highways and byways of the land. Now, this vote herein mentioned, what- ever the outcome of it, will bring no im- mediate relief to parched throats. It isn't going to be official and will _have no weight or bearing. for the present, on any legisiation now effect, though the pro- moters of it frankly state that they hope to get results that will be tne means of showing dry legislators that there is a tremendous demand for something aside from home brews and home distillations that have a kick in them. The National Liberal Alliance, an or- ganization openly at war with the pro- islons of the Volstead act, and engaged in an effort to show that the people of the United States want a modification of it, has started work in Connecticut and is going to put some ballots and baliot boxes if this city in order that every citizen may have his or her opportunity to state whether or not they desire a modification of the enforcement instru- ment of the *eighteenth amendment to the federal constitution. The alliance has started doing business in Hartford and announced Wednesday morning that of the 2,166 ballots so far tabulated 2,137 carry requests for the modification of the Volstead act. Representatives of the alllance, which is to work in every state of the union, are coming into Windham county within stoned while running througn Dyer and ‘Water streets. Some means is to be found to stop this nuisance. Ted Sweet, a nephew of Mrs. F. H. Keach of Broad street, is one of 1he stars of the Sock and Buskin Dramatic club of Brown university, which is presenting the farce Three Live Ghosts. Unusual competition was noted by a group of Danielson people who were at East Killingly fishing for pout. A big black snake thrashed out of the brush at the edge of a pool with a sizeaple pout in his mouth. The pout was being swallowed headforemost despite his pro- tecting horns. The lust for motoring iz pressing up- on some of the borough's youth so hard that they have taken to the practicz of “borrowing” cars without permission of the owner—a practice that is s serious offence under the law. Severe action i3 promised by the state police to Supfress this uniawful joy-riding. Plainting of gardens is in many cases being delayed hereabouts because of lack of rain. Some plowed up areas are as dry as powder. Danielson’s Bundle day is near at hand and the committee in charge hopes for a generous response from the com- munity. After Saturday of this week the Con- necticut company will discontinue bus service between Attawaugan and Aita- waugan crossing and the dilly round trip between Attawaugan and Putnam. Tires Cost Half What They Used To MILE FOR MILE That’s a pleasant fact to remember. Since 1915 MILLER experts have more than doubled the average tire mileage—and cut the cost per mile in two. Hundreds of methods for adding mileage are tested. Twice each year, on the average, some great new achievement is accomplished. The MILLER laboratory work for re- search is $5,000 monthly. Men came to Miller tires slowly. "But one by one users found them out. Then the demand came like a flood. In the past five years the demand for Miller Tires has in- creased 20 fold. It has doubled in the past twelve months. You should learn what MILLER means to you. Make a test—a comparison. Do what the large users of tires are doing. Then let the records tell you which tire excels. We carry a complete line of Miller tires in stock. Get our prices. Let us tell you about service. The Motor Tire Service Co.
