INT gritty

We have often talked to you about Value
this time we have something to say on integ-
rity. Integrity of purpose, of honor, is just as
directly applicable to clothes as to character.
For many years we have adhered to the
principles; that integrity of purpose and honor
would eventually build up a wide and stead
fast trade.
This policy won out-our present host Of
friends proves it.
The fact that we are operating eight stores
and doing a half-million dollar business means
that all our interest is in this one line, and it
is as much a matter of pride as of dollars and
cents that we are striving to build up the
largest clothing trade in the middle west.
We buy from manufacturers who believe in
our policy of integrity, and live up to it.
1t is not a question of "How much can we
get for the article" but "How much good value
can we give for a dollar' In this way and no
other could we carry out our ideas.
Our aim is to build a greater business-tO
do this we must continue to sell the best mer-
chandise money can buy and the price must
be within the reach of all, or a saving of from
ten to thirty-five per cent.
Those who wear our clothes prove our state
ments and the integrity Of the clothes we sell.
Come now and prove them for yourself.

Letters From the People
About That Asbestos

Editor News: From last weeks News I clip the following under What the Other Fellow Says"
 "New Hartford could tell the United States geological survey, which urges a continuance of the search for chrysotile asbestos, to go to Satan's Kingdom. where among lodges that cover hun dreds of acres. asbestos is to be found in Winsted Citizen"
 Why not have put it under Where the Laugh Comes in ?" Is the Citizen s sense of humor very subtle, or is en- tirely lacking? In apparent seriousness it suggests that the U. s. Geological Survey should go to Satan's Kingdom, where asbestos is SO abundant.
 Of course we all know the Satan's Kingdom referred to, but there is said to be another, familiarly known by a word of one syllable. The main ques- tion isis asbestos really fireproof there If this can be determined in the affirm ative there will be all urgent and cease less demand for ready-made garments of that non combustible material.

 Let the officers call meeting, re- organize the Board, galvanize it into renewed life, eliminate the dead-wood, t, if there be any in it, and launch iG again upon a career of usefulness. Start it off, if thought best, with a banquet somehow the best energies of such an institution are generated at the festive board for there's nothing that will rouse the dormant patriotism and awaken the public spirit of the average citizen, like square meal served amid congenial companionships and accompanied by some rousing speeches and flow of soul and stuff.

Wake up the Board

Editor News: Your article on the reviving of the old Board of Trade is certainly timely and is worth consider ing. There is need of some kind of an organization for the promotion of the interests of the village and town, call it Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade. Village Improvement Association, or what you will. We are overstocked with defunct or dormant organizations; what we need is live one. The name Board of Trade" always seemed to the writer, rather ambitious for this little place, but then it wasn't the name which smothered the organization. It was rather the way 1t was handled. This criticism is uttered not for the sake of criticizing but that any new effort might be free from these dangers. A meeting would be called for Saturday night (the worst night in the week for business mem, to discuss some subject, few would go, at some inconvenience, and after waiting half or three-quarters of an hour, the meeting would be ad- journed for a week, for lack of men enough to do business, The next week it would be the same. After few ex- periences of this kind any organization would have to quit.
 An organization with meetings not too frequent but conveniently appointed, we'll advertised, promptly called and with definite business expeditiouslY dis patched by men actually interested in tne community, with occasional "get-to- gether" or "feed" meetings, ought to go here. Letter Go

REsuRREcT THE BOARD

In view ot the fact that the universal sentiment of the business men of Canaan seems to favor revival of the old Board of Trade. which, in it's brief period of wakefulness did things that justified it's being called into existence, there is no apparent reason why it should not be revived
 The few interviews printed in another column of this paper voice the general sentiment of the whole business com munity. It is universally agreed that a Board of Trade is 8 good thing for a town if it is conducted in business like way and is on the alert for opportunities to promote the com munity s interests.
 The experience of other towns, DC larger than Canaan. goes to prove the value of such an organization. The experience of Canaan itself goes to prove it. While the Board was alive and active. things were accomplished And it will be generally conceded that Canaan made greater headway along the line of up-to-date progress under the inspiration of the Board of Trade than at any other period of it's history.
 It would be difficult to conceive of anything more significant of retrogress-

 Take no risks of injury to him in skating over asphalt
 On icy mornings carry some sand for mergencies.
 Load lighter when snow blocks the streets.
 Do little shoveling aud help your horse
 Attempt no hard pulls up steep or slippery inchnes.
 Horses draw and keep their balance better unchecked.
 Give him frequent rests on snowy roads.
 Help your horse with little axle grease.
 Rub him down when he comes in wet
 Feed carefully and well during the winter
 Blanket and bed him sufficiently on cold nights.
 Send for veternarian before it is too late. These humane suggestions are made in the interest of the horse, but do not forget that he is your property and the value of mauy horses is depreoiated by their treatment in wintry weather.

Banner Year for Trade

The calendar year 1910 is going to be the banner year for the worlds inter national trade according to reports of the bureau of statistics, which show that both imports and exports are con- siderably greater than in 1909.
 The bureau has received reports from 27 countries, which cover from six to ten months of the calendar year 1910. In all of the 27 countries the figures of imports show a marked increase in the monthly averages as compared with the corresponding period of 1909. The ex- ports also are considerably larger exoepb in the case of Argentina and Bulgaria.
 Considering the countries for which figures are at hand the monthly imports and exports show an increase of about nine per cent. as compared with the corresponding months of last year. and it is believed that the worlds inter national commerce for 1910 probably will show exports at between IA and i5 billion dollars while exports are expected to aggregate in excess of ie billion dollars.

THE LAWS CONSISTENCY


 ~ By the provisions of Connecticut law, Governor. elect Baldwin was obliged to retire from the Chief Justiceship of the Supreme Court, on attaining his 70th birthday. according to the dictum of the fathers, that a man over seventy years of age is too old to administer justice in the courts. Yet by the peculiar con- struction of the same code, the man who is disqualified by reason of age from serving on the bench is not disqualified for the governorship, which carries with it the responsibility of selecting judges for position on the same bench from which he himself is ejected as not quail fed, as well as the responsibility of pass ing upon matters of legislation of the highest importance to the state. In other words, the consistent law of Con- necticut says that man who is dis qualified for an elevated position under it's government may be perfectly com petent to administer the affairs of the head of it's government. He may not be competent for a big job, yet he may be perfectly competent for bigger one.
 After the late Judge Granger was re- tired from the supreme court bench by limit of age, he is said to have replied with characteristic straightforwardness to friend who had inquired as to his general health
 
 II feel that am fully as competent, mentally, as ever was in my life, but the law says am an old fool !' He was subsequently, elected to congress, where he proved himself useful, valuable and thoroughly competent member, and on retiring from that exalted post, was ap- pointed referee in bankruptcy, posi- tion imposing distinctiyely judicial functions which he performed with eminent satisfaction up to the time of his death.
 The inconsistency of the age limit law applying to the Connecticut judiciary is further emphasized in Judge Baldwin's s case, in the fact that he heads the In ternational Bar Association, and only last week presided over the international conference of the American Society for Judicial Settlement of International Disputes, in Washington, an organiza- tion whose membership embraces many of the most distinguished and famous statesmen Tn the world-a significant recognition of the competency of man disqualified for judicial duties in Con- necticut.
 Ex- Governor George P. Mclean in a recent address to the state board of agri- culture said he liked to Hook back to the old days when walnut trees bore wal nuts, and cherry trees bore cherries. and hens laid eggs, and turkeys did not have the pip, and the office sought the man, J and he hoped those days would come again. Perhaps we may reasonably hope for return of the walnuts and the cherries and the eggs and the pipless turk-but angel food will have super seded them all and become the universal fodder when the time comes that any office more exalted than a dog warden ship gets an opportunity to go hunting for man to fit it.
