REV. c. W. MORROW DEAN.
Advanced b. Trustees to Be Head of Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn, for Coming Year.

Last year Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn, having no president the college was run by an administrative commit tee of two, of which Rev. Cornelius w Morrow, formerly pastor of the Second Congregational church, Nor wich, was one Last June the trustees elected Rev. MT. Morrow dean, putting him at the head of the institution for the coming year.
 At first MT. Morrow refused to ac- cept the honor, but trustees and friends urged him so strongly to re- consider that he did so, and he has accepted the office. His hope is that his new duties may not interfere too much with the work which he has enjoyed as college pastor as last year proved most successful, SO students entering the church as members.
 The advance is a marked one for Rev Mir. Morrow, but his friends feel confident that he will make a most eff cient head of the institution. Fisk has raised $300,000 endowment and is about to start in for $250000 more, with every prospect of securing it,
 As usual Rev. and Mrs. Morrow are spending the season at their cottage at Mayland park, Mashapaug, Holland county. MT. Morrow writes a Norwich friend that he is already busy with some of the. duties of his new office Such splendid advancement will win him congratulations from many friends in Norwich.

savings banks, there is apparently not the same clearness in regard to banks outside these two classes which are organized under such a charter as in the Thames Loan and Trust
 In attempting to collect the moneys due the trust company from it's bor- roWers, Reeeiver Thayer finds that such borrowers, who are also deposit DTS and creditors, claim the right to set. off their deposits against their in debtedness to the corporation. Since the statutes seem to be lacking in clarity as regards this situation, cases of doubt have arisen 1as to the right of depositors in one department to set off their deposits in one department against their Indebtedness to the trust company in the same or the other de- partment. The receiver states that three questions of set of are so nu- -merous that he cannot with safety to himself and the rights and interests of others proceed to act in said cases without the advice and direction of the court.
 In acting under the supervision of the court, direct responsibility for complications that might arise will be removed from the receiver.
 It is hardly to be expected. of course. that any plan of dissolving the receiv- ership will be presented at the meet ing. on Aug. 1, which was the limit set by Judge Williams of the time allowed for taking such measures as might permit the renewal of business by the trust company.

BIG PURSES FOR
 COUNTY FAIR RACES.
Officials Are Working on Classes Now
 Track Being Worked Daily.

The racing committee of the New London County Agricultural society," Arthur D. Lathrop, Michael B. Ring and Charles D. Greenman-haS held one meeting within week to talk things over and they will get together again between now and Saturday. In the course of five days, one of them | said Monday there will, in all proba- bility, be sometime to give out about the classes and the purses. This much though, they give out, without waiting: There will be faster classes, and there will be bigger purses than in any previous year. Good horses are wanted at Norwich this year, and the society is willing to pay to get them.
 The track is being worked every day by Supt. Sherwood Raymond who will have it in apple pie order before real trotting commences the middle of next month, Entries do not as a rule begin to come in strongly until about Aug. 15, but already there is a pretty good string of speedy nags quartered on the grounds, and the number will of course be added to right along now.
 The quarter of mile of woven wire fence, to replace boards, will soon be up on the backstretch. The contractor has the posts up already and he is going to add to his force and push the job. Several out of town owners have been at the grounds lately looking over Lt10e LIdck anu SldDl0S. ILntI16S from a distance will, it is expected. be more numerous this fair.
 Ready for Trip In Air. The officials of the agricultural so- cfety are finding out these days that the young men with feet warm enough to try a trip in the Thor aeropIane are more numerous hereabouts than they may have thought.
 Two recently made citizens of Nor wich spoke to the society's secretary, as well as to a Main street business man who is a strong 1913 fair booster, Saturday. One is the son of former city official now in the real estate business. He buttonholed one of his men on Main street, within 20 feet of the traffic cop, and he wanted an an swer right off the bat. without wait ing
 The advertising man of the Twen- tieth century fair put in the first ap- plication for a ride and he has the first call. If he gets killed the rest of us will stay on terra frma," was the best answer he could get.
 Ten minutes later a Norwich clerk filed his application for trip into the clouds that hover over the East Great Plain landscape. He says he'll go up anyhow.

SERVANT GIRLS
WON'T LEAVE cIFIEs
Employment Bureaus Have Their Troubles During summer-Increased Fee Doesn't Hurt Agencies.

State Labor Commissioner P. H. i Connolly is busy in Hartford just now giving out licenses for the conducting ef private employment agencies. Last year seveBty-one licenses were taken out. fourteen being in Hartford Un- der the new law the license fee. has been increased from s to $25. It was expected that this increase would re- suit in reduction in the number of private agencies and the expectation will be realized Up to the present three agents, one of them in Norwich, who were licensed last year. have al- lowed their licenses to lapse and have not taken out new ones at the in- creased rate. The license runs for one year from the time it is issued so that it will be some time before the labor commissioner can state positively the number of lapses. But what the state will lose in revenue by a reduc- tfon in the number of licenses will be more than made up by the increase in the fee It would not be surprising if the commissioner will take in from license fees this month as much money as he collected during an entire year wheH the fee was at $5 It is expected that the receipts for the coming year will show a substantial increase in the revenue for licenses.
 Expense Greater Than coiieetien.
 There has always been some diffi- cu1ty in collecting the fees. The con- missioner and his assistants have been obliged to go to the agencies several times to collect the fee. When tlae fact is considered that the s.----;-- are scattered all C---4 ne state it will be readily seen that the collection of the fees involves quite large expense Indeed. 1t has happened that the col, lection of a $5-,f fee has been at pe1 cuniary loss to the state. No more time will be spent in the collection. of $25 than was spent heretofore in talk ing in the fee of $5. so that the collec- ton of the fee in the future will never be at a loss.
 No Desire for Ho9sework
 Commissioner Connolly states that ti.e state employment agencies find their greatest difficulty in supplying the demand for domestic servants. Young women do not care nowadays to do housework. They prefer to work in a factory, or in store or office and the demand is greater than the supply with the inevitable result ~ that the wages of domestics have increased by leaps and bounds. Connmissioner Con- nolly stated that in the Bridgeport of fee recently competent domestics have asked $25 and $40 a month in wages and they would not think of accepting positions in houses where wages were $20 a month
 Families who live in the country or take cottages for the summer at the shore cannot secure domestic help as the young women do not care to live outside the cities, or other centers of population. To overcome the difficulty which this objection on the part of domestics to country or seaside life creates, Commissioner Connolly says that many families take meals in neighboring hotels while occupying their cottages.

Is ft the merchant who has the pflgntest store, the most attrac- tive things to sell you, q polite and intelligent sales force to serve you and an eall round genial, home-like, welcome at mosphere awaiting you in his shop-and then tells you about It in his advertising
 Is it from that kind of merch- ant that you receive poor ser vice? It is not probable.
 The chances are ten to one that the poorest service and inc least satisfaction come from the shops where business is done under antiquated conditions where the merchandise is badly chosen and badly displayed: Where salespeople are not we'll Informed and courteous. and oblig1ng; and where the mercb-s< ant either has nothing much of interest to advertise or else doesn't believe in advertising
 There MAY be exceptions but if so. they indicate the rule. The best service comes from the business that has so much con fidence in it's methods and it's merchandise that it is a pa1t of its splendid service to tell you about 1t.
