THIS FISH LINE HAS

Fact That She is Towing Toy Boat
Adds to Mystery of Case.

Winsted, Conn, July 23.-The sight
of COW wading in brook and draw
ing toy boat by string in her mouth
caused DR.. R. S. Todd, of New Milford
to stop his auto on his way up Kent
mountain yesterday afternoon. In thc
car with the doctor was Selectman w
K. Stone, of Winsted.
Both walked over to the brook d.
Todd found that not only the little boa
but fishpole was trailing from tn:
line, the other end of which was dowr
the cows throat. Efforts to draw it III
brought objections from the COW, ant
finally the line was cut. DR.. Todt
thinks that the animal, drinking in thj
brook, swallowed the line and hook lef
by boy who had fastened his NINA
ture boat to the line for safety.
Whether there was fish on the hool
is matter of conjecture. Mr. Stone
thinks there was. Neither her nor Dr.
Todd are users if intoxicating liquor.

Sen. TILLMAN
GETS IN BAD
With Southern Housewives
in Washington

Washington, D, c., July 23.-When
Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
who is on a diet by order of his phy-
stefan. declared somewhat peevishly
that the art of frying chicken was
unknown in Washington" he had not
reckoned with the housewives of the
District of Columbia, many of them
Southerners and jealous of their abil-
ity to cook chicken in any fashion.
As q result Of the aspersion indig-
nant housewives and few score adj
mirers of the South Carolina states
man have been inundating him with
chicken. They come by parcel post
and by messengers until each day the
senator's committee room takes on
the appearance of a picnic ground.
At first Senator Tillman sought to
re1url TIE gifts. but virtually none had
the name Of the donor on it, although
many contained notes defying the
senator TO decry the fowls or the
cooking As a result the committee
room waste basket is continually filled
with chicken bones, and committe:
clerks and senate attendants, i'm.
pressed to aid in keeping up with tbs
incoming supply; are nearing stats
of rebellion.

UNLE SANS CLERKS
MUST PAY THEIR DEBT.

Washington, D. c., July 23.-Clerkf
in the government departments either
must pay their debts or relinquish then
Jobs. The latest department to en-
phasize this order is the war depart
ment, and an order signed by Secretary
Garrison is being handed to all the
employees today. The order says that
Creditors and collectors will be denied
access to employees" during offic=
hours, and adds: "But while the de-
partment will not permit itself to be
used as a collection agency, it will
not consider as fit employe any one
who neglects to make payment"
1t was denied at the department that
there was any epidemic of bad debts
among the employees there, and the
statement adds that the order, al
old one, merely was called to the at
tention of the clerks. Similar regula
lions are in force in the departments q
state, agriculture, navy, interior AMI
commerce, but they are not consider
ed so drastic in effect as the interpre-
tation of the order issued today by
Secretary Garrison.

HAVE YOU SOMETHING
TO SELL? - -. -. -.

If so, do you tell the public
about it? If you do, how do
you do it?
And what sort of reputation
is back of the merchandise you
are offering?
The answers to these ques-
tons may spell success or fail
ure to many merchant.
From an intimate association
with a wide circle of concerns,
merchandising all the neces-
saries of life, we venture to say:
"The quickest and surest way
to reach the public is through
the columns of a dependable
daily newspaper like The Times
Recorder-one that has a high
standing in the community it
serves, and has the confidence
of its readers.
"The most dependable articles
sold today are those to which
the manufacturer is not afraid
to attach his label--that is to
say, his reputation.
Retail merchants are now
joining hands with the manu-
facturer, and the public is thus
doubly guaranteed against in
feriority.
THE combination of manu-
facturer and retailer plus good,
clean newspaper advertising,
means success to them both,
with the maximum of satisfac
ton to the purchaser"

Changes in the plans of Ambassador
