Send 12 cents in silver or stamps for our um-to-date Fall and Winter 1922- 1928 Book of Fashi ° Colchester was the gathering place on ‘Wednesday afternoon = for Rotarians from Norwich, New London, Willimantic and Hartford to pay their compliments to Highway Commissioner Charles J. Bennett for the wonderful achieyement. the Hartford-New London highway, which is due largely to his efforts, This oelebration was supposed to have taken place upon the opening of the highway early in the spring but was postponed owing to varipus reasons. There were close to 150 Rotarians present from the four clubs and with this number of real live boys performing on the green and around the festlve board the historic little town of Colchester sat up and took notice. The celebration started with a base- ball game between the Norwich and New Londen Rotary clubs in which the Norwich club team proved much ton strong for the whalers. The teams played in the sweltering heat to a large gallery comfortably parked under the grand ol delms and pines on the green. Many a payer looked with longing eyes at these spectat: This was especial- ly true of the New London boys who chased the ball all around the green but not catching up with it until the local club had piled up eleven runs. ‘The game started off with a whirlwind onslaught by the ocal swatsters who with successive hits drove six runs across in this frame. After this the 'n- cal boys took things easy until the ‘Whalers had scored two runs and then opened with three more. Frank Welch started the game for the local team but refired in the third imning to give his arm a rest for the chamber of commerce game. Bill Park took up the heavy du- ties and he, like his predecessor, pitched air tight ball. However, errors in the fifth inning gave New London an oppor- tunity to creep up on the local team. sooring flve runs. With the score 9 to 7 at the end of the fourth inning Manager Charlie Saxton cafled his huskies into conference and laid down the law to them. His talk was not productive of much in the fifth inning, but in the sixth and final inning the local boys, realizing the wisdom of their managers’ words that ‘the Whelers were too close swung into the harness and drove two more runs acress the platter giving them a comfertable lead The Whalers, how- ever, did not even threaten in the final inning for Frank Welch toox care of the final batsman. Howard. who caught the first part of the game and then went in- to the outfield, plaved a good game in both positions, making two wonderful catches in the outfield. Russ Clapp al- & played a good game at third, accept- ing six chances without an error. As usual Doe Campbell put up a whale of a game at the first sack. Bent Cary showed the boys that he has not lost his old batt'ng eve and smashed out a prei- ty double. Al Bliven was the only man to suffer a casualty. Al tried to bite the stitche sout of the ball which his broth- er LaRue hit to him. Al is minus one tooth and two others are very wobbly. Starring for the Whalery was Ed4 Ra- man. who pitched good ball, and Roy Nash. New London's maost versatile player. Roy played first base and catch with equal ability. New TLondon's third sacker robbed Jimmy Madden of a pret- ty hit when he made a wonderful one- hand stab of the drive. Conny Costelio. mayor of Mystie, performed wonderfully in right fleld, Conny piceng this posi- tion because of the shade. Outside of the few misplays the game was good. Val Murphy of Willimantic officlated as umpire and what the players thought of Val was highly complimentary. After the ball game a volley ball con- test was put on between Norwich and New London. The Norwich team proved the better volleyists and won by a score of 50 to 35. Charlie Tagrart, George Ingalls, Art Thompson and John O'Rourke featured in this sport and their playing brought another victory for Norwich. ~ A delicious supper served by the la- dies of the Order of Bastern Star in the chapel. The menu was: Cold Ham Potato Salad Beets Cuecumbers. Cabbage Salad Pepper Relish Baked Beans Rolls Appte Ple Coftee Cheese During the supper there was spirited singing under the energetic leadership of Bill Park. Bill kept the boys exercis- ing their lungs to their fuil capacity during the supper, or rather during that time when the Rotarians were not busy making the delicious dishes disappear. Prof. Freddy White of New London of- ficiated at the piano. Henry LaFontaine rendered two solos that met with hearty approval of those present. Jack Dono- van of Boston also rendered two pleas- ing selections. After the supper when the cigars were being lighted Jim Sullivan, president of the New London club took charge of the meeting. Jim is fast regaining his health after a long period of ill nealth but has lost none of his ready wit as was ciearly demonstrated in his little impromptu remarks which put a great deal nf pep into the meeting. Conny Costetlo, state senator, mayor of Mystic, and with a hundred and one other titles too numerous to mention was the first speaker. Conny said that It was 14 or 15 years ago that New London and Hartford highway was first discussed. The matter being brought before the pedple of the two towns by Ernest E. Rogers of New London and Walter Wakefield of Hartford. These two have sl Sl el s e NORWICH PEOPLE HURT IN AUTOMOBILE CRASH Mrs. Harry M. Gray of 69 Union street this city is a patient at St. Elliott hos- pital, Bosten, and Mr. Gray is suffering frem bruises received about noon Wed- nesday, in the outskirts of Boston, waen their Dodge touring car was struck by a six ton truck with such force that the Norwich ear was turned cover twice. hurling the occupants out onto the high- way. The extent of the injuries recel by Mrs. Gray could not be ascertained Wednesday. The Norwich party, Mr. and Gray, and daughter, Delia., and Miss Vera McGuinnis, left this eity for Bos- ton shortly after seven o'clock in the morning and everything went well ustil they had nearly entered Bosien. It is alieged that the truck was travel. ing at a high rate of speed. Miss Gray and Miss McGuinnis escaped with slight bruises and aside from a shaking up and fright were nene the worse for their txmerience. The Dodge car was a complete wreck and the truck was badly damag- ed. —— e MANNING AND ROBINSON FAMILIES HOLD REUNION The annual reunion of the Manning and Robinson families was held Wednes- day at the home of E. R. Manning at Lebanon Crossing in North Franklin, about 100 being in attendance. During the day general reviews of the history of the families were given and at noon a basket luncheon was served on the lawn of the Manning homestead. A feature of the day's events was a base- ball game between the two families.

ADELARD MORIN SPEAKER AT ROTARY LUNCHEON Adelard Morin, member of the firm of Plaut-Cadden Co., had charge of the noonday luncheéon of the Norwich Ro- tary club on Wednesday, very Mr. Morin's talk was considerably bright- ed by short references to his early con nection with the firm as a piano sales man and as a political speaker. Mr. Mo- rin said in part: It is indeed a very agreeable privilege to be able to address you today and, after reading Joe Weymouth’s notice stating that I was going to talk on Piano Manufacturing, 1 was at a loss to know just where Joe had gathered his infor mation, for it was my real intention to talk of my business, as many of the mem. piano manufacturing I would be slighing the 50 other lines we dea! in, and I would be talking of but a portion of my busi- ness. Then, again, I had in mind talking relative to the detall of the lines of busi- ness that I am interested in and, upon investigating, I find that there are actu- ally 61 different varieties of merchandise, so that if I took the necessary time to |y, glve each subject sufficient attention would require the 51 luncheons of the year, and enough to ruin the splendid attend- ance record the club has been making. I had an object lesson relative to pub- | tions are the best. The incident I|or bad luck that th lic speaking years ago. am about to relate dates back to the first Roosevelt campaign. At that time I as- pired to public speaking. and the state republican committee very kindly assign- ed to me various places where I was to speak in the interest of the party. demand. Some kind friend of mine load- ed me on to the state central committee, and I at once qualified as French political speaker, and that was only possible be- cause the committee was in no position to judge as to my ability, since none of them spoke French. It so occurred that one of the first assignments given to me wag in a small town a few miles from Norwich. I was called up about 5 o'clock in the afternoon and told that I was to g0 to this town and fill in because the speaker of the evening was to be late. The rally was called for 8§ o'clock and I was to talk until 9.15, or one hour and a quarter, about the issues of the campaign —=a subect that I knew absolutely noth- ing about—and I went to perform my duty. The local committee had been successful in gathering quits a respect- able sized audience for this ly and T started in to do my share and talk to them until the speaker of the evening| arrived. T went on very nicely for about a half hour when suddenly at the rear of the hall a feliow got up, took off his coat and commenced to applaud for all he was worth. The fellow next to him pulled him down. saylng “Sit down, Bill, you don't understand French.” The fellow, who was an Englishman, replied “No, 1 don’t, but the fellow's working hard.” It ‘was very fortunate that the real speaker arrived soon after that, for I really be- lieve that if I had continued for another half hour there would have been no au- dience to address. The following Sunday night, the night before election, I had been assigned to New Britain, and there I spoke for about 12 minutes. I really got a generous applause from the entire audience, and 1 commenced to think that 1 was good. but a fellow eome to me after, in confidence, and told me that the applause was not because I was good but because I didn't speak long, so 1 am 2oing to try to be brief and my talk is going to be about my experience in the retail of merchandise. In the ordinary course of merchan- dising today—in my estimation— there are three requirements absolutely neces- sary. First, to conduet a business suc- cessfully, it is essential to have suitable Itla credit rating. 1| th found out afferwards that they chose me | we because speakers who could address an | egu: audience in French were scarce and In|ana have ent Plaut-Cadden store. We continued along that line for five years, conducting a very successful busi- ness, serving a cllentele which, we are very happy and gratified to say, is per- haps one of the largest enjoyed by any concern in the east—for a town of our size—but again a problem faced us. The consumption of merchandise made possi- ble by our store was too great to remain a small institution, and we were not quits big enough to consume a sufficient amount to render the service that a larger city institution could render. About 15 months ago we felt that the opportunity presented itself to be of more service to the community, We learned in our five years of merchandising that we had done, that the power of greater distribution would give us greater power in buying, ®so when the Foran fire took place in New London we thought it a grand opportunity to take over the old reputable firm and to build up an effi clent organization such as that we have in Norwich. We concluded that the greatest asset in merchandising was keep- ing down overhead. and we felt that we could take the same executive institu- ion and load on the New London and, with the same overhead, conduct the New London store, under the one set of executives, thereby increasing our buy- ing and distributing power and reducing cess. During the last year we saved In our buying from 10 to 20 per eent. We reduced our overhead about 13 per cent.. and we find ourselves in a better position to serve than ever before. We do very extensive mail advertising, having a mailing list of 20,000, We conduct our own credit depart- ent, giving every man within 40 miles It is strange to to say that in the large amount of credit busi- find that Their inten- It is only by accident ey are led to do the other thing. We employ & large number of people In both stores, our Norwich store counting over 50 and our New London store more than 25. We strive to keep a spirit of good fellowship within ranks of our employes, and In that have been more or less successful be- se we place everyone on their honor found that it is a good plan to work upon. We have our troubles like everyone else, because the man who doesn’t have troubles is the fellow who doesn't do anything, and we feel that, compared to the amount of business we do, our troubles are little ones. We are rather elated at the results of our meth- ods, which we feel are unique In a town of our size. We find a small population coming into our store every week. Keep- Ing count for a period of about six months, we find that on Saturday alone over 1,280 cross our threshold to trans- act business in one form or another. We are not infallible, and there are a great many rough spots in our Institutions yet, but we hope that our institutions in Nor- wich and New London will be a source of pride to the people we are striving to serve. Following his talk Mr. Morin was given a hearty vote of appreciation for his talk and also for his gift of clgars. At the business session at which there were many guests President William G. Park presided. Charles A. Saxton re- ported for the entertainment commit- tee and Harry Shannon announced that the third and final game of the Rotary- Cbamber of Commerce series for the Carroll cup would be held at the Nor- wich State Hospital on Monday after- hoon at 4 o'clock. Willlam Tayler, a member of the Paterson, N. J, club, spake to the members on the work that is being done in Patterson for the poor boys of that city.

The Porteons &Mitchell Co. The greatest breeding ground for wa- ter fowl in the United States is the state of Nebraska, I First Compounded This Remedy For Own Neighbors se of this mewer form of iror has spread so rapidly that mow, after nine years, over 4,000,000 people use it annually. Years ago I began to wonder at the great number of my own friends and neighbors who were aiways ailing, com. plaining and doctoring, without eves Steming to get any better. Both working men and their wives were frequently ai tired out in the evening, and l.cfru.l many were weak, nervous and cun-down. One had pains in the back and though! he had kidney trouble. Andther haé pains around the heart, palpitations and dizziness, and was sure he was suffering from heart disease. Still others had se- vere headaches, floating 3&! before the eyes, tender spots along the spine and a great varity of alarming symptoms For years 1 made a special study of this condition, consuiting a great number of physicians and chemists. An immense number of investigations by physicians all over the country showed that three people out of every four you meet lack 100 pr oent. iron in their blood. Lack of iron in the blood is the of al devitalising weaknesses. It is the iron ir your bl that enables you to get the nourishment out of your food. Without iron, nothing you eat doss you any good. Your heart, lungs and kidneys al your vital organs get their nourishmen! from the blocd stream, and when the blood lacks iron and is thin, pale and watery, you may suffer from the symp- toms of a great number of diseases when the ceal and true cause of all your trouble is a lack of iron in the blood. In the old days people often took metal- lic iron. which some physicians clalm s not absorbed at all. In compoundin Nuxated Iron I use the newer form o‘ iron, which is like the iron in your blood and like the iron in spinach, lentils and apples. Unlike the older forms of iron, it will not injure the teeth mor disturb the stomach. and it is ready for almost im- mediate absorption and assimilation by the blood. It is the people whose blood is rich in iron who possess great strength, force and energy. If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two 5-grain tabiets of Nuxated Iron three times a day after meals for two weeks—then test your strength agasn and see how much you bave gained. An astonishing number of nervous, run-down eople who were ailing all the while ave greatly improved their health and increased their stremgth. energy and en- durance simply by taking this newer form of iron.
