WHEN GRANDPA WAS A BOX.


No auto cars went whizzing by
When grandpa was a boy,
No aeroplanes sailed 70 the Sky
When grandpa w=s % soy,
The people did not live In flats,
There were no Merry Widow hats
And babies were not joining frats
When grandpa was boy.
They had no leg shows on the stage Z
When grandpa was boy
Bridge whist had not become the rage
When grandpa was boy,
They flashed no messages through
space.
Tho lady was not in disgrace
Who had a child around her place
When grandpa was boy.
Waists were not buttoned down be-
hind
When grandpa was a boy;
No meat trust socked II 10 mankind
When grandoa was a boy;
The country had no Uncle 10"
10 say things should be thus or so,
No Aldrich to say yes or no,
When grandpa was boy.
There were no shrieking suffragettes
When grandpa was "A boy; -
The ladies pulled no cigarettes
When grandpa was a boy;
With married men they did not claim
To be afhnities nor pray.
Therefore TO be absolved from blame,
When grandpa was a boy.

ELECTRIC POWER
Being Utilized by Torrington Ice Com
pany in Various Ways.

The Torrington Ice company has ap-
piled electricity to its ice hosting ap-
parGtus. displacing steam power and
horses, hitherto in vogue. Thirty-five
horse power moters are used. with the
current from the lines of the Torring-
ton Electric Light company. The
power lines run to The Coe Brass dam,
Glars pond and the East Branch res
ervoir The motors, transformers and
regulators are mounted on wheels and
transported from place TO place on de-
maEd, reducing investment charges.
Electric lights have been installed in
the icehouses, which before had been
left in darkness, making the workers
safer and more comfortable. Lights
which have been placed also on the
runways and ponds make the labor
safer. In time Of a short crop it is
now possible with these new acquisi-
tons, to work day and night. The new
method is clean, safe and economical.
This is a new use for electricity and is
proving a bis success for the Torring-
ton Ice company.
