THE ROWLAND DRY GOODS co.
Judge Robertson Says Unfortunate
 If MeIIen Quit

New Haven, Sept. 15-Judge A. Hea- ton Robertson a director of the New Haven road and very close to Presi- dent Mellen, vsaid today:
 Not one word has ever been said to the board of directors about Mr. Mellen's resignation, nor has he said anything about it to us. His resigna- tion would be very unfortunate not only for the New Haven road and it's dependencies but for the whole of New England as well.
 ''The idea of his retiring has not entered the head of President Mellen nor the heads of any of the directors. The dividend will not be lowered to six percent The rumor of a cut is ridiculous. It has not been thought of by us. I see no reason why the dividend should be cut This talk about friction in the board is also without foundation. There is no an- tagonism among the directors to Pres- ident Mellen.''

$5 Double-Service Is splendid suit for boy.

From every standpoint that a mother judges boys clothing, Double-Service suits are good.
 To begin with, they look well. Then they keep look ing well till they are worn out.
 They wear a long while. That's because they are made we'll and of good. stout fabric.
 They fit well. That helps them wear. They are cut on lines that have been found to be correct; no guess work about them.
 And every suit has two pairs of trousers. This makes it practically a double suit; gives it double life, makes it's service double. Those at $5 are great ex- amples. And there is new gathering ready now.
 Gray olive and tan. Plain blue serge. Every pattern that a boy fancies; that a mother approves $5
