| WILL RETIRE AS MASTER MECHANIC OF THE
NEW LONDON, July 31.-The machine
shop of the New London Northern rail-
road in East New London is to be still
further changed by the retirement of Mas
ter Mechanic William E. Greene on Au-
gust Is.
Mr.. Greene has served the company TO,
more than thirty years, and has given the
best labor of his life to tbs shop in which
he has been employed.
For the past thirty odd years, until the
wholesale reduction of the force year OF
more ago, the same men worked side by
| side in the various departments of the re

: two or three familiar faces left. Mr.

| THE SECOND REGIMENT AND ITS CAMP BILL
h OF FARE.
g 8. L. Fox of Harwinton has received tn
contract from Commissary General jamie
! son for catering for the Second regimen
J., while at camp. MI. Fox in past years ha
8 done the catering for number OF the com
panies and be has given universal satisfac
, ton. The price at which the contract wa
u let, 1t is understood, was So man. Sew
. . eral of the companies of the city battalion
u wrote to General Jameson after the issu
ance of his circular asking If they could no
provide their own caterers, agreeing to pa
q | whatever extra was demanded over an,
above what the state was willing to pay
). l To this request word was received that IN
It der the law this could not be allowed. An
|. | other way has been devised, however, b
Ii | which 1t is believed that this objection ca
It be overcome and that the companies ca
= secure such bill of fsre as they may de
b | sire.
v Now that the caterer for the regimen
g | has been secured 1t is more than probabl
that several of the companies of the Secon
: regiment will enter into negotiations wit
n | Caterer Fox to provide them with pre-
l. soribed bill of fare which will meet thei
A | taste much better than the one laid dow
= by the commissary general by agreeing
pay something in addition to what tn
n state has contracted for. The addition
8 however, will be paid by the companie
direct and will be matter with which tn
state will have nothing to do.
WHEELER s WILSON'S NOT TO SHUT DOWN
ri Several of the big New York dailies Sur
day published reports of an alleged NEE
% ing of the directors of the Wheeler & WI
son Manufacturing company in New Yor
Saturday, and said that 1t was decided t
5: shut down the works during the month {
t. August. Superintendent Fred Hurd toll

y The concern manufactures ornaments

" statement that all would probably be on

J. been re employed, but the majority al
% still idle. The old story of tight none

IL ness. The company appears to have man
70 orders, but is deharred from executin

not be available coon enough.
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT IN THESE TIMES
In view of the financial stringency tn
Hartford Courant utters the following
v which will bear thinking about:
II "Jast remember what we have alread
d said several times. If you need a dress G
It | coat or pair of shoes or a new furnao
! | or new carpet or any other of the thing
~ people have to have, and you see your wa
10 to paying for 1t, 80 and get it. Don't 2
a without what you need unless you musi
Voluntary poverty on your part may mea
10 compulsory poverty on the part of some
" body else. The only way anybody make
q living is by furnishing what somebod
l. else wants. If everybody defers buyin
what he wants, business activity dulls.
10 Then there's another thing to remember
70 1t may be dull. Mills may shut down an,
stagnation prevail, but there's one mil
. that doesn't stop. This is the human
stomach. We must eat to live, and tn
; whole activity of business that goes t.
D supplying food is bound to keep moving
l. Similarly people must be clad. Clothe
will wear out; SO will shoes. They mus
be renewed. The laws of nature, and o
. man, too, forbid people going naked here
. abouts. It's an immense industry to max
, the clothes for 60, 900, 900 people.
Q Think 1t all over and see how vast
business is absolutely necessary from tn
simple fact that SO many people are livin
here. There have been times like these
a and times deal worse than these, and tn
world hasn't come to an end yet. Trad
- is bound to continue. It's as necessary a
~ breath. The more of it there is the better
and the way to keep it up is to buy, not t.
60 without"
