PoMFRET FAkIR
Identified as Howard M. 6aiIey-At
His Old Trick of Passing Bogus
Checks.

The Hartford courant of Thursday
said:
Howard NJ Bailey, sleek and pros
porous. from no one knows where, but
representing himself TO be gentle
man of southern lineage" Is still try
ing out his bunco game in this vicinity
with something of financial success to
himself and consequent annoyance and
distress to his victims. His field of
operation has been by no means con-
fined to narrow limits, and having
fieeced merchants OF Hartford, Farm
ington, Westbrook and other places,
he recently descended upon Pomfret
and defrauded the firm of Averill az
Aldrich, grocers. who are on the wrong
side of an account to the extent Of
about $50.
Bailey's novel little plan has been
to rent a house. always from a. wom-
an, and then to give an order for
coal and wood for the cellar. To make
his plan more complete. he also visits
the groceryman. and, informing him
that he has leased a house from a
Mrs. ---, leaves q substantial or
der for grocery supplies. To aliay
suspicion. or having to answer ques-
t1ons as to his financial responsibility.
he telephones the coal man, from the
store of the grocer. to be sure not to
forget the kindlings. The grocer. snil
ing and chuclling to have found so
liberal a customer within his place of
business. proceeds at once to put forth
the necessities with which to make the
supposed Bailey family comfortable
In q hurry to depart upon other
business relative to his affairs. the glib
b1r Bailey offers check to the grocer
considerably in excess of the bill for
the goods. which the grocer readily
cashes and relieves himself of ready
coin which he never sees again. The
check in the Pomfret case was for an
even 800, and the bill for tine goods
was $22, and the revenue to the bunco
man was SIS. In Pomtret he rented a
cottage from a Mrs. Gertrude Vinton.
Besides burning nuggets of coal to the
weight of two tons or so, to keep the
house warm pending the arrival of the
BAILEY family Mrs. Vinton was obliged
to pay protest fees on the worthless
check issued by Bailey for a months
rent, as did Averill & Aldrich on the
check given for the grocery bill.
By similar practices he obtained
money from ]. A. Skongland of Farm
ington, and at Westbrook he rented a
cottage from Mrs. w. G.. Simmons.
Mrs. Lyon of Pennington was another
who was victimized by Bailey His
checks were invariably drawn on a far
awav bank. general on an institution
ar New Orleans. The valueless paper
vas returned marked No Funds" and
with the further advice that there had
rever been an account in that bank by
anybody of the name given.
Bailey is the man who caught sew
era1 Rrocers in Hartford a few months
ago, but who failed in one or two other
local grocery stores where he attempted
to operate.

SAGE TEA WILL
DARkEN THE HAIR.
Restore Faded and Gray Hair to Nat
urai CoIor-Dandruff Quickly Re-
moved.

There is nothing new about the idea
Of using sage for restoring the color of
the hair. Our reat-grandmothers kept
their locks soft dark and glossy by
using a sage tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on a dull, faded
or streaked appearance they made a
brew of sage leaves and applied it to
their hair, with wonderfully beneficial
effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort to
old-time. tiresome methods of gather
ing the herbs and making the tea. This
is done by slziliful chemists better than
have to do is to call for the ready
made product Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy, containing sage in
the proper strength, with the addition
of sulphur, another old-time scalp rem
edy.
The manufacturers of this remedy
authorize druggists to sell it under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded If it fails to do exactly as rep
resented.
Don't neglect your hair. Get q
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
today, and notice the difference after
few days use.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists-

WOMAN SCHOOL VISITOR
Reports to Town School Board That
Lack of System is Great Drawback
to Efficiency of Public Schools.

The town school committee listened
70 some pertinent remarks by Acting
School Visitor Mrs. Katherine Jack
Spauiding at it's regular monthly
meeting in the rooms of the board OF
selectmen Wednesday evening.
The committee held an executive
session and exacted promise that the
proceedings should not be made public
at present, at least.
Mrs Spaulding told of her visits to
the different schools and did not hest
tate to say how she found them, par
ticularly with reference to the ability
or lack of ability Of the various teach
ers-
That the system, or, rather, lack OF
system. Is radically wrong was only too
apparent from the truths emphatically
stated by the school visitor The mem
Ders OF the board were apparently en-
urely in ignorance of the conditions
as they exist at present. or at least
those present did not say anything to
disprove the fact
Practically all the committee know
or the various teachers hired is that
they are upon the payroll and stay
there until they obtain other positions
that appear more alluring to them.
Rarely, If ever, does the committee
discharge a teacher.
The lack of uniform system in the
various schools was touched upon by
hrs. Spaulding she advocated q uni
term system in her last report, but
10 steps toward the institution of one
has been taken, although Principal Egg
bert E. Case of the Windham High
school was given authority to confer
with the principals of the various
schools and outline system or course
of study to be followed in order that
pupils would be properly fitted to enter
the high school.
This action was voted by the COM
mittee two or three months ago, but Is
still In the air.
Wednesday night Mrs. Spaulding and
~<,ff
tee, were told to go ahead and perfect
a course of studies, thus taking the
authority away from Principal Case
No great remedial effect can be OBJ
until a superintendent of schools for
Windham is created and given the au-
thority to supervise teachers and see
that their work is properly done.
