UNITE TO PURCHASE.
Small Grocers Hit Plan in Order to
 Reduce Prices.

New Haven, Aug 23-It is stated that meeting of many of the small grocers around the city is being talked Of to consider the plan of forming a United Grocers' Purchasing Associa- tion in this city. The idea of the pro- posed organization is to make it pos sible for the small dealers to get sta pie articles at as low a price as the big dealers, by buying together in large quantities. The proposition has been worked out successfully. in other cities and every indication is that To- cal grocers will take to the idea read fly and give the plan their support.
 It is a well known fact that the big stores can buy articles two and three cents cheaper than small dealers, who buy in small lots. This causes the small dealers to lose a lot of trade as na atdral!y the public goes to the store where they can get the goods cheap est The United Purchasing Associa- ton would make it possible for the small grocer to get his stuff as cheap as the big dealer and would make the competition much fairer.
 The matter is now being seriously talked over by number of grocers and ii is quite probable that meet ing will be called shortly or a canvass will be made to see how storekeepers stand on the proposition.

New Haven Has A Marine Police
 Patrol At Work

New Haven. Aug. 23.-So many rob- berries of yachts and launches have been reported to the police that dras- tic measures have been taken to cap- ture if possible the thieves and van- dals.
 For the past two weeks the launch Esther, one of the fastest on the Sound, carrying Sergt Bowers and Patrolmen Pagan, Egan and Lind say of the Grand avenue station has cru1sed every night up and down the shore and especially in the vicinity of the New Haven Yacht club, where most of the biggest robberies have taken place. A strict watch is being kept, for already thousands of dollars worth of damage has been done to boats and an equal amount or more, in silverware, yacht fittings, etc., sto- len by the intruders who have not hesitated to smash in mahogany doors, knock brass fittings from engines and the like to secure loot
 The series of robberies, the per- petrators of which are now being sought, began three weeks ago when the splendid yacht belonging to Fred c. Nelson, general agent for the Ma tional Cash Register Co.,, who lives at 245 Townsend avenue, was broken in- to, the. doors and woodwork smashed
 
 value of S150 taken. The thieves gained entrance by breaking down with an axe, a beautiful mahogany door to the cabin of the yacht.
 Since that time, a dozen more rob- berries have been reported to the de- tective bureau and to the Grand ave- nue police station. Because of other business the detectives on duty at headquarters who were very busy, were unable to give the work the time demanded and the series of rob- berries was turned over to theL Grand avenue station. Chief Cowles thought the best way to cope with the situa- tion was to send out a racing launch with several police officers, and Sergt. Bowers of that station, who is regard ed as some seaman, having seen ser vice on the high seas, was selected to head the patrol party. He offered his 35-foot boat Esther with its 45 horse power engine as the conveyance and since that time the party has skinned up and down the shore all night long, keeping tabs on the boats moOred there

And pleasure comes from Labors gam
To see the golden sun at dawn
Spring forth TO kiss the rural lawn
Wet with the kiss Of midnight dew
And brightens TO gorgeous nue.

A gift of God to man so blind.
