will be some more drastice methods taken than those now used to bring the price of supply and demand nearer together While most the people of Pal mer are grateful that affairs from a local view point are no worse there are many who would welcome a condition of affairs where every man could have an equal opportunity with every other man with a fair wage for a fair work and a dollar whose purchasing power would not be too badly strained in the effort to make the columns cf receipts and expenditures balance more evenly than they often do Americans have many reasons for keeping Thanksgiving day in spirit as well as in theory and by spending a few hours in a spirit of thankfulness for all the benefits that have come to this land recognize the sjource of na tional as well as individual prosperity

current rumor has it that Monday's hearing will again be postponed At the last hearing so much dissatisfaction at the way the case had been handled was mani fest that Attorney Joseph Ely counsel lor Chief of Police Marshall A Reimer said that on the condition of the hearing being postponed until the 21st ho would at that time bring forward all the evidence for the prosecution so that the case

prosecution has made no apparent headway Unless something un expected is brought forward on Mon day the charges will have to be dropped or the case must be again postponed At the last hearing Attorneys Wil liam Granfield Thomas Moriarty and Daniel Webster defense coun sel pointed out that under present conditions their client is resting un der a cloud of suspicion as well as being out of work They demanded that the case be concluded as soon aspossible No statements were forthcoming from either Chief of Police Belmer or Patrolman Lyons regarding the case this morning except that they hoped it would be brought to a finish Monday paign rom Our Special Correspondent Hartford Ct Nov 19 The test of the five cent fare on the Connecti cut lines in Bridgeport will be begun tomorrow by order of the public utilities commission and will be continued for 90 days This is a radical a slicing of one half In the rate of fare and yet no more radical than was the juCk up from five cents to 10 though the lat ter came by degrees instead of one fell The jack up was jin experiment and the slicing will be experiment The reduction to a five cent fare in Norwalk already on trial during a limited period is reported to have resulted in a no ticeable increase in patronage The puu 0 1UIPJ1L UT fmw iriUCfl crease however is yet to be heard It is realized that it is one thing to increase patronage enough to make a good showing on the outside with a low fare and quite another to make enough of an increase to materially swell the net income i The utilities commission long un der the fire of public criticism because of fancied if not actual favoritism for the Connecticut company has ap parently resolved to ascertain just what is the basis of trolly fares on which the company may best serve the public as a necessary utility and at the same time receive a fair if not a maximum return upon invest ment i ne Bridgeport trial will be watched with interest especially as it Is believed that if a low trolly rate can prove practical in Bridgeport can be just as practical in some other population centers if not in all ew questions are of more vital interest rnst at present to Tom Dick and Harry' than this of fares It makes a difference to the $12 a week whether she has to pay single or double fare or whether the boss picks her up in his car on the way to the office and saves her even the nickel Slate Police Learning to Shoot Straight It will bring no particular com fort to evil doers to know re cruits for the state police force have been receiving instructions at Lyme this week in the use of firearms motorcycles riot guns and possibly how to use their fists as well They have been taught by experts how to fire at short and long ranges both in rapid and in accurate firing and It is reported by older members of lle force that some of vbe recruits have proved themselves crack shots They have also received considerable mil itary instruction including company formations drills' Tirst aid etc and the training in more respects than one has been of an intensive order beginning at 645 in the morning and extending well into the evening Their headquarters have been at the Box wood hotel where a temporary school room has been established equipped with such essentials as the instruc tors have seen fit to have installed When the instruction and practice are all over it is expected' the recruits will be able to a if occasion requires without killing him to lop off oars fingers toes finally succumbs though the worse for the pecking Business Conditions Improve Businesswise conditions in the state continue to improve Official reports are to the effect that unem ployment of which there is still a great deal is beifftc gradually re duced Many of the large and small industries of the state report in creased activity with longer work ing hours and more working men and women Money is being spent more freely too for odd jobs More re pair work is being done to buildings of all kinds and this counts for much to the' men who can a at something useful Con tacts for new buildings are still be ing withheld more than one might wish and yet there is improvement in this line of industry also and some of the construction work which has been outlined within the past few weeks is of a kind that will em ploy many for a long tirpe There is still a marked tendency to reduce wages Not a few industries that made reductions a few months agohave of late announced further and it Is not known if Report rom Middletown most encouraging indus is that which has come within the week from Middletown's largest industry the Russell Manufac turing company whose output in cludes a large variety of cotton web bing products This concern employed only 1S0O hands when it was running at lull capacity in war times princi pally on war essentials and yet to day when business is supposed to ne depressed it is employing 1400 hands either on full or overtime and about 200 hands are employed nights This of course is exceptional prosperity but it is in a line which reflects pros perity in other lines Cotton indus tries in general throughout the east ern part of the state are repored to be running nearer normal than for a long time past Silk industries are almost all of them on full time but some of them notably the Cheney Brothers in Manchester report wage adjustments pending The brass in dustries of the slate are still far from normal in production but re port slights improvement with pros pects of something better just ahead In fact "something bettor just is the general anticipation and it is considered more helpful than the pes simistic view Increases in Connecticut Industries Tremendous increases in Connecti cut industries in the amount of capi tal invested the number employed and the value of the products are shown in the preliminary statement of the 1920 censusof manufactures covering the year ofJ919 just issued by the bureau of commerce in Wash ington and of the principal Connecti cut cities Hartford shows the greatest percentage of growth in the amount of capital invested and also in the value of products Hartford with $119743000 capital invested in man factures shows an increase of 1225 per cent over 1914 while Bridgeport which is next shows a gain of 1219 and New Haven 723 And in actual capital invested Bridgeport leads with $180774000 and Waterbury comes next with $122128000 New Haven is fourth with $113743000 Hart Increase in the value of pro ducts was 1768 per cent while Bridgeport gained 14 44 and New Haven 1185 while Waterbury with a gain of 157 per cent made an enviable record These tremendous war time gains of course meant the employ ment of a large number of extra hands 'and helped tremendously also to emphasize business recession when it came Anti Tuberculosis und Campaign A state wide campaign to raise a fund of $100000 with which to fight tuberculosis Connecticut has been begun by the tuberculosis commission This step is taken early in order that it may keep pace with the observance of Christmas and in order that the full amount may be raised within the designated time Over $79000 was raised last year for this purpose and about $S3000 the previous year and the most of this was obtained through the sales of Christmas seals The commission has established repre sentatives In all cities and large towns of the state and through these and other health units it has been enabled to discover the disease in its early stages and give such Instructions as will be helpful in fighting it As a result of this work there has been a steady decline in the tuberculosis death rate in the state and this rate the commission hopes to still further reduce It believes do this and that should not be one of This fight against the way is making great Inroads on some of the dairy herds of the state Astounding is the report of James Whittlesey commissioner of domestic animals to the effect that of 987 cattle tested in the month of Septem her for tuberculosis 278 were con demned which was 28 per cent of the total Of the number con demned 245 were killed and 35 were placed in quarantine Encouraging however is the report that notwith standing the slaughter which almost invariably follows the tuberculin test owners of valuable herds seem anxious to rid their herds of diseased cattle though some of them are ex pensive blooded stock and the de mand for tuberculin testing Is at pres ent far ahead of the capacity or department Red Cross Campaign campaign for the fifth roll the Red Cross in ranklin is meeting with good success Heath was the first town in ary of these have been upwards Within the week report has been given out from New Haven to the ef fect that

The five masted schooner Sintram a converted ship ping board steamer was rammed and sunk off Cape Cod by the Tanker David McKelvy in a heavy fog off Cape Cod last night The Sintram's crew was rescued

SCHOONER SINTRAM RAMMED AND SUNK Tobacco Men Unable to Get Crop rom Poles Many Tobacco Barn ires rom Our Special Correspondent Amherst Nov 19 Last winter it will be remembered many onion growers and warehouse men repre sented that the industry in the Con necticut valley would be wiped out of existence without a protective tariff Onions were then selling at about si per 100 pound bag and they are now selling from $525 to $550 per 100 pound bag Accordingly it is easily seen that any such protective tariff as was suggested for onions grown in this country would have no effect whatever Tobacco growers in this section are feeling rather blue over their inabil ity to get the crop from the poles through lack of a sufficient amount of warm damp weather as yet prac tically no buyers have appeared but they do not wonder at that because it is generally understood that only asmall amount of the crop will be sold this year before 'put in the bun 'dles due to the fact that there was so much trouble over selling in the field and shed last year However there is such a large percentage of the tobacco throughout the cut valley that has been hit by luui that farmers in the section that were not damaged by it hope to be able to market their crop to advan tage There has been an unprece dented number of tobacco barn fires this ive sheds in the adjoin ing town of Hadley have burned since the crop was harvested which is more than in the last 10 years combined The headline which appeared over this correspondence last Sunday Property in Amherst with out Buyers Sales are was erroneous It stated in the let ter that the call for farm property in Amherst or vicinity from people who had little or no experience tn the business was declining but it did rot say that others were not buying farms here As a matter of fact there was an unprecedented call for farm property last year ana exchanged hands at prices dreamed of before and there havebeen a number of sales at good fig ures this year As a result there was never a time in the last 25 years when there were so few farms for sale in Amherst and vicinity as there lire today Buyers however are not in experienced city people They are largely Poles Lithuanians and farm ers from the remote parts of New England who locate in this town be cause of its superior educational and social advantages An Amherst man a tew days

memorial service for its members who have died during the past year was held at the annual meeting of the National Pris on congress held at Jacksonville la last week At this annual meeting Warden Scott of the Connecticut state prison who was a personal friend of the late Edward A uller cf Suffield read the following paper upon Mr uller who for many years was a director of the prison In this state at Wethersfield Edward A uller of Suffield Ct died at his home ebruary 15 1921 at the age of 79 He was from the first a supporter and ar dent friend of te American Prison association or years he was a reg ular attendant at its congresses an interested critic of its spirit an 1 en deavors and a thorough believer tn its power to lift prison administra tion out of its previous misconcep tions into an atmosphere more charged with the spirit of rational helpfulness in behalf of those who had found theirway behind orison walls IT? soon won the confidence of the association and became a member cf various committees serv ing them all with fidelity and was for a term its treasurer uller was a man of large in fluence in his native state trusted at home with important civic duties and called to state office where his nat ural abilities fitted him for serious duty war and director soldiers financial high degree a member of many social clubs and charitable organizations a citizen who found time to divide his private with his public interests But we here have to do with his prison connections The significance cf the reference to his other duties lies in the fact that he brought the same intelligent and enthusiasm to the one that he did to the other was made a director of the Connecticut state prison in 1900 as suming his duties on March 13 of the same year and continued in that office until the hour of his death He was elected president of the hoard in July 1911 and held that office until his voluntary resignation in July 1915 In 1901 upon the enactment of the parole law he was made chair man of the board of parole and con tinued in that office until July 1915 when he voluntarily resigned his connection with the urison he was a frequent visitor in oniring diligently into the manage ment personally interviewing in mates and gathering information for the use of his associates It is not an exaggeration to say that no man pil ing an office of this character ever came into more intimate contact with all the phases of prison life and ad ministration His study took him more and more into the group of men who were seeking to find a better sys tem of control than was contemplated in the pur itive system and it was in measure due to his liberality of judgment and talent for understand ing that the Connecticut institution outgrew its old traditions and at the same time carried with it the confi dence of the general public In pol itics Mr uller was a Republican of the stanch old type and in religion a Baptist There ar? many within sound of mv voice who will recall affection their association with him and learn with keen regret 'hat ti days of their co labors are at an The first annual meeting of the Get Together club of the irst Congregational church

a few years past the people in thejowns of tile county have shown their appreciation of this worthy in stitution by making generous Joni tione of canned fruits and vegetables and through the season

furnishes the patients with a variety of delicacies which make a pleasant addition to the usual monot onous hospital diet ranklin county is fortunate In having two modern and efficiently operated

aroused us rep rom Our Special Cprrespondent Palmer Nov 19 indications point to a quiet observance of Thanksgiving day this year witli the usual number of family gatherings but with no gen eral observance that would include the people as a whole There will be a union Thanksgiving service at 930 a at the Universalist church Rev It Morson delivering the address While the feeling is not as tense to day as it was three years ago when the boys from so many homes were in rance there is abundant reason for thankfulness that have re turned and that material progress is being made in an effort to make fu ture wars impossible ew of those who served in the World war and saw actual fighting are desirous of again donning the uni form to fight any kind of foe It is only the ones that know nothing war from actua experience and who carefully avoided the recruiting officer that are at all anxious to retain the panoply of war and arc the loudest in their opposition to giving up anything in order tu bring about a result that will be satisfactory to all the imtions of the world Another cause for thank fulness on the part of the people is the growing impression that there is to be a general revival of business through out lhe country in the near future War is always demoralizing in its effect upon not only the nations en gaged but on the rest of the world as well and closed has its results knowledge 4 A nAeld money with which to buy They need food and clothing but must await a readjustment of financial affairs be fore they can pay for what they need and unless America comes to their help in a spirit of charity there will be real suffering during the next rew months rom present indications the com ing months will see a gradual improve ment in the business situation locally the mills are working more hours per week and the general situation looks brighter The readjustment of the wage scale comes hard but not as much so as the drop in retail prices which are still inclined to seek the highest branches with no manifest ap pearance of coming down Human na ture is so constituted every description are every 4 Plans for Observance of Thanksgiving Day Some of the amily Parties rom Our Monson versa ry of ing season the proclamation will be read from pulpits all over our land stating that in view of the fact of cur many mer cies that T1 ursday has been set aside as a day of prayer and thanksgiving and the people are urged to assemble in their various places of worship for this purpose Anniversaries suggest contrasts and we can tfut hark back to the little band who Inaugurated the day which from leing observed for many years in New England alone is now celebrated in every state and terri tory of Uncle Sam's domains and for that matter by loyal Americans in every quarter of the globe Time has been however wi en the religious side of the day has been more closely observed than it is at present With the exception of the Thanksgiving following the signing of the Armistice when Rev red Gamble called a special service in the Methodist church there has been in a Monson Protestant church for many years a union service evening on the preceding taking its place Tomorrow evening such a service will be Methodist church with Penniman pastor of salist clurch delivering At St Patrick's church there will be a requiem mass nt 839 Thanksgiv ing morning for the dead benefactors of the church When Monson enumerates her blessings she will find that the year has brought many Among them business prosperity With the excep tion of Heimann Lichten's straw works all large concerns ane running to their full capacity shifts It is expected works will soon begin son While sorrow has to the usual numbers and citizens who could ill be spared have been taken away the public health been good Tle summer season was singularly free from sickness This is conceded to be due in a large de gree to the activities' of the visiting nurse especially among the children It cannot be said that the town's financial prospect is as rosy as it might be The large expenditures of the past rear are more than likely to be duplicated next year if the town is to keep 'its present footing with other towns The school appropria tion is already overrun with more bills to follow In this connection it may be said that the policy of keeping open the rural schools is one which calls for a large outlay but w'hich has been proved to be cheaper than transportation and the paying of tui tion to other towns besides safe guarding the children from exposure to tl cold and storms of winter which they are found to encounter while waiting for the team or truijk to eaxty them to and from school Thankfulness that matters are no worse is always in order however The town has lost no citizens on ac count of high taxes in tle past so it is safe to presume that living ex penses in the aggregate are no higher here than elsewhere The city dellv ery of mail established in July seems to meet with general favor To ma ty it is a real boon and incidentally the erection of street signs and the num bering cf buildings brought about by the mail carrier system is appreciated by visitors to the town The farmers naa an aounoani nai vest with the exception' of apples pears etc caught in the liny freeze anti vegetables are of exeelibnt flavor ew cases of destitution are reported There is said to be one where ittlc children are likely to suffer unless outside provision is made for them The Daughters will make their usual contributions to the home for aged people and this home is another thing that the town may be thankful for a home where a group of worthy elderly people are well provided for Not the least of mercies is the loyal contented spirit which scenys to prevail Labor unrest is practi cally unknown Any differences which may come up between employ er and employe are quickly and sat isfactorily adjusted A number of family parties are planned for Thanksgiving day and a number of people will go elsewhere Mr and Mrs Charles A Bradway of Ely road will entertain Mrs Brad niece Miss Eunice Broughton of Mount Holyoke college and her Atait A113 Mvra Keep of North
