The man Id down 6 cents. The clerk again I'd at was 75 cents and the customer turn pointed to the 5 cents. .T fad that the price was 75 cents," the 2erR, who was Father angry, shouted pr the third time.

 ny it requires so much effort to push grough a trolley scheme. sEhe Rev Gscar Haywood has little se for the politician, especially for
 embers Of the legislatures. At the knquet of the Business Mems asso- Ation tne other night he stated that 2e majority of the members Of legfs-
 ures work with three objects in

Let Waterbury and lose who represent other interests blk out for themselves" This is RacticaNy the way most people look things so that 1t ds hard to find eyona who has no axe to grind and bld ds the man who stands an his |ay. Probably this explains why le public official who aims to do his |aty as he sees it becomes target lr all the fellows with the axes.
