large number of invitations
nave been sent out-in fact, we took
the Telegram subscription list and
attempted to mail an invitation to
edch subscriber In sending out such
large number, however, it is pos
Slble that some names were skipped
III addressing the envelopes. In case
you, gentle reader, did not receive
an invitation, let this be taken as
one instead; come, and be assured
you Will be cordially welcomed. The
prime reason for sending out indi-
Vidual invitations was to assign diff
ferent hours to certain numbers of
persons, so that the crowd would be
better distributed throughout the re-
celvlng hours, instead of too great a
crush at one time and only few
visitors at another. Look at your
card and note the hour indicated
thereon, and come at that time if 1t
is convenient. If the hour assigned
YOU should not suit your convent
ence. or if, by chance or oversight,
YOU did not get card at all, come
at any time between 400 and $3.50.
We want all the people of Lake
land to feel as most of them already
do-that the Evening Telegram is a
public institution, which values the
interest of the citizens of Lakeland,
and whose proprietor will appreciate
a friendly visit from them. Come
and look through the building and
the plant, and whether you approve
or not give us credit for trying to
build up an institution of which the
town need not be ashamed There
will be persons who are capable and
who will take pleasure in explaining !
the various operations of printing, |
the functions of the different ma

visit will be enjoyed by all, and that !
it will serve to cement the good will |
and friendly feeling that has always /
existed between the newspaper and |

interests it has always sought to
serve.

PROTECTION FOR WORKING
 CHILDREN IN. THIS STATE Unusual Care Shown in Granting Ger . tificates for Working Permits.

An investigator for the National
 Child Labor committee has found that
 Connecticut authorities are unusually
 careful in granting employment cer-
 tificates to children under ls In the
 current year of the 12,105> children who have applied for their working papers, only 6.630 have been granted permits. while 5,33 of the applicants E have been definitely rejected. This is an unusually large proportion or re- tections, according to statements made by the National Child Labor commit tee.
 In 1913 1s,2s6 children applied for work permits, 3,294 failed to pass the educational test; 22 were rejected be-
 cause of their physical condition, 1.224 presented inadequate proof of age; 491 were proved to be under age: 545 had secured no employment and so were not given papers, and 598 had their cases held over for further con- sideration. A few children were over Is or were to engage in work for which permits are not required. so their cases were dismissed. These figures show wit hwhat care each applicant for work permits is exam ined in Connecticut.
 In speaking of this systeD. of grant ing employment certificates. Owen R.
 Lovejoy, general secretary of the Ma tional Child Labor committee. said:
 Tt is very encouraging to know that
 local authorities in Connecticut are
 handing the employment certificate
 problem so efficiently. for the Con-
 necticut state law in regard to em-
 pIoyment certificates Is not inclusive
 and leaves much to the discretion of
 the local authorities. We are glad
 to be able to feel that the child un-
 der age, the child who is not suffi- ciently educated, and in most eases the child who is physically unfit for work, cannot get work. permits in Con- necticut. But before congratulating ourselves upon Connecticut's good sys- l tenn, we ought to reflect that children who receive work permits there. are often being permitted to work un- der conditions not allowed in other l states. Connecticut allows children under 16 to work more than eight | hours a day, yet states in the unioI and the District of Columbia have 1 passed general eight-hour laws fol | children. Street trades are unregu- 1 lated in Connecticut. Boys under 21 | are allowed to work in the demoral- l izing night messenger service. Alst children under 16 may work in Con necticut tobacco factories although work in these factories is general! l recognized as a dangerous occupation | and is therefore forbidden to chfl' dren under 16. Those are some of th' | flaws in the Connecticut child labo 1 lag which must be considered wheI we are discussing the condition O the child of Is who goes to work il l that state.

Grand Juror Fred Spencer of Mont vile complained on Tuesday to State Attorney Hull that Joseph Galipeau of Pannertown assaulted him with a crowbar Sunday night, fnflicting 9. se- we're cut on the forehead and injury to the left hand. The state attorney immediately took steps for the appre- hension of GaGIipeau
 According to Spencer's story. he had received numerous complaints that Galipeau was carrying on illegal sale of liquor in the town and Sunday night he went to Ga1ipeaus barn where he warned him not to continue the practice. Galipeau is alleged to have replied with an oath that he would sell liquor as long as he wished and that he would kill anyone who tried to stop him
 Galipeau then went outside, walk ing past Spencer who was standing in the doorway. Spencer said that Cali peau must have had the crowbaI handy outside the door for without the slightest warning Galipeau seized the crowbar and struck him with it. Spen- cer saw the heavy piece of iron in the air and .rstirctively he raised his arm to his forehead to ward off the blow which landed on his hand, although the bar also struck his forehead. His hand had broken the force of the blow however,
 Spencer received an ugly wound or
