Local Editors Troubles

The man who handles the local de- partment of a newspaper learns after due experience not to expect very many thanks for column of pleasing things but he knows as surely as come the sea- sons that single line in which there are unintentional mistakes will cause some one to be heard; also that when he has made pleasant mention 999 times of some person, place or thing but on the one thousandth time fails to do so, he must not expect to be forgiven. The commissions may have been from accident inadvertence or even an entire lack of knowledge-it matters not. The fact remains that he will be judged on that. He may say good things about some business man for weeks, but let him make some mistake and the good thingr are forgotten and that mans business is denied him. Allentown (Pa.) Item.
 Newspaper men everywhere will say "Amen" to the above.

Bank Provides Safes

New Milford Savings Bank directors have a supply of Individual steel savings banks, for distribution to those who wish to accumulate small savings, with the ultimate object of depositing the same in the Savings Bank. This safe indicates at all times just how much is deposited in it. Applicants for one of these safes (which cost the bank $1 each) will be required to open regular account with the bank by depositing $1 and re- ceiving a regular bank book therefor, which dollar can be withdrawn any time on return of the safe. The only key-a master key-to these safes is retained by the Savings Bank so that safes may be opened only when presented at the bank,

RUNNING AN AUTO.
Correspondent Gives Idea of Cost of
 the Popular Diversion.

Correspondent Gives Idea of Cost of
 the Popular Diversion.
 The annual cost of running an auto mobile has been but dimly realized by the average person. When you invest $2500 ia touring car, or $1200 in 8 run about, the drain upon the pocket has just begun. The dearest idea one can form of the cost of maintenance is that derived from inspection of some automobilist' s bills. A writer in the Review of Re- views furnishes this information out of his own experience. First, take his ex- penses with a single-cyEnder, eight horsepower runabout, comparatively inexpensive car, costing $500, which he operated himself, thus saving the expense of a chauffeur. From April to November he travelled 10000 miles. At the end of the season he found that the. total ex- pense of maintenance had been $8f7.70 -$5O for years liability insurance, $325 for depreciation in value of car, $45.50 interest at 6per cent. on first cost, and $397.20 for seven months repairs and maintenance. The average month ly cost of maintenance was $56.85. The bill for April, itemized, shows where the dollars went:

ROUTE IS APPROVED
FOR TROLLEY ROAD EXTENSION

The Roads Must be in Operation
 Within Eighteen Months-Route over
 Private Land Must be Approved by
 the Railroad Commissioners.
 As was stated in last weeks NEWS the extension of the Berkshire Street Railway from Great Harrington to Ca- naan rested entirely with the seleotmen of the town of Great Harrington. If they approved the route selected, the road would be built, if not, it would not. They met last Thursday and approved it and here is what the Pittsfeld Eagle has to say on the subject in Fridays paper:
 "The selectmen at a meeting Thurs day afternoon voted to grant the peti- tion asked for by the street railway company in order to build the Canaan and Egremont roads. Their approval of the layout over private land has to be confirmed by the railroad commission CTS. The selectmen have carefully con- sidered the matter and it is apparent to all that for the best interests of all con- cerned the layout should be granted and the company given all the encourage ment possible to build the road. The conditions are practically the same as those governing the present road.
 A five-cent town (of Great Barring G- must be in operation within IS months. The schedule of running time will TO main the same as now.

100 WOMEN ARE WANTED
Board of Trade Has Until February 1st to Ascer- tain Whether the Desired Amount of Help Can be Obtained-Board to Hold Meeting Saturday Evening.

Falls Village, Lime Rock, Chapinville, Salisbury, LakeEllle, in fact from every village and hamlet surrounding Canaan.
 And the Board would like to know AT ONCE as by February 1st, the shirt company must be informed definitely as to whether the help can be obtained and also, with regard to various other matters.
 IT ALL DEPENDS, HOWEVER, ON ABS O. LUTE ASSURANCE THAT ONE HUNDRED WOMEN WILL TAKE UP THE WORK IF THE PLANT IS LOCATED AT CANAAN.
 On Saturday evening of this week The Board of Trade will hold meeting at 8 o'clock at the law offices of A. T. and J. H. iRoraback to discuss the prop osition. Every member of the Board is requested to be present, also every citi- zen who has the welfare of the village at heart. It will be no easy proposition to find the desired amount of help and the Board desires all possible assista nee in the effort to secure the industry. In another column of to-day's paper appears an advertisement, inserted by the Board of Trade, in which practical ly the same facts as are contained in this article are set forth. In that adver- tisement is.a coupon to be cut out and forwarded to the secretary of the Board of Trace by all women who will accept employment. The Board specially re- quests that these coupons be filled out and mailed AT ONCE.
 Remember, Canaan wants that plant, the plant wants 100 women, and the Board of Trade wants you to attend it's meeting ats o'clock Saturday evening.
Connecticut western news., 1907-01-10

If the re are one hundred women and girls in Canaan and the surrounding villages who desire employment, an ln- dustry will probably locate in Canaan. The nature of the business is the manu- facture of high grade ,shirts. Nhe con- cern has one large factory and laundry in New York state and also operates branch manufacturing plants. They are behind their orders and inasmuch as they are experiencing the same difficult ty in obtaining help that is being expe- rienced in every line of business at the present time, they are compelled to re sort to the expedient of taking the plants to the operators if they cannot persuade the operators to ,comeito their plants.
 The above is the situation in a nut shell. The concern will consider locat- ing at Canaan if there are assurances that they can obtain 100 operators for their plant, otherwise some other place where the desired number of operators is available will be chosen as the loca- tion.
 As to the reliability of the concern. there is no question THE NEWS is in a position to give its readers positive as sarance that the company will conduct a plant of which Canaan will be proud # they decide to locate there. The his tory of the company has been one of constant expansion during the several years in which they have been engaged in business. The unnsual merit of ,thelf goods has constantly inc reased the call for them and at the present time the supply is not more than One-third of the demand. If the concern should to-day refuse to accept further orders, those on hand would keep their machinery in op- .eration until May 1st-
 THE NEWS is prepared to provide the best of references relative to the com pany if called upon to do so- These ref erences can be obtained from the town where the principal plant IS lOeated and from two other towns where they own smaller plants.
 To illustrate the resources and respon- sibility of this company we may reclte the fact that, several years ago, during the period of business depression, when shirt making plants in all parts of the country were closing their doors, this concern kept it's machinery in operation and help continually employed with scarcely an order in sight. Hundreds and thousands of dozens of shirts accu- 1nnlated in their warehouse and the op- orators received their pay envelopes as regularly each Saturday afternoon as they do in the present era of prosperity.
 The manufacture of shirts is light, pleasant and desirable work, and in New York state towns, representatives of the most respected. families may be seen seated at the power machines with which these plants are equipped.
 All operators are employed at piece york and the wages range from $500 to 5000 per week.
 The Canaan Board of Trade is about to begin an active canvass of Canaan and surrounding villages to ascertai n just how many women and girls will agree to accept this pleasant employ ment. They desire to hear from Ashley Falls, Clayton, Mill River. Sheffield, East Canaan, West Norfolk. Norfolk,
