There are plen- ty of best natured babies, at least it looks that way to a cursory observer and certainly there is bound to be a smallest baby and a fattest one.

The mother thanked heaven that she could not.

SAFE CRACKED AT YANTIC STORE
Burglars Work Early Thursday MorningSecured About $50 in Stamps and About $40 in Money-Two Heard Explosion When Safe Was Blown Open--Two Men Seen Leaving the Building Afterwards.

whicht they pried open the~Yale lock on the front door. In their haste to get away the burglars overlooked SEQ in stamps which was in a box that fell on the floor, and also $20 in change which was in the safe all ready for the clerks
 An examination of the safe showed that nitroglycerine had probably been used as the safe had been soaped and the combination bad been knocked on to make a place into which to pour the nitrogiycerine.
 Tn intruders pried off tn inner lock Of the safe. The safe was worth about s75 and MT. Manning estimates his to- tai loss at S200.
 The local police were notified and Policeman Michael Carroll was sent to look the store over. He found no clue to the buglars- This is the third time since last April that thieves nave ben active at the postofice.
 Tn report of the explosion was heard by two women in the nearby board ing house and one of them saw two men walking towards the railroad track. The watchman at the mill also hard the explosion, but thought it was a. torpedo on the Central Vermont rail- road track.

Burglars broke into the Yantic gen. eral store and postofflce between and o'clock Thursday morning, blew open and rff1ed the safe and made a clean getaway leaving only their tools be- hind them as clues When James k1l- roy passed the postofice. which is To- cated in the store conducted by w E.

On entering ~the store he found that the burglars had cor1a- pletely wrecked the safe and the doors outer and inner. were on the floor They took a money box containing about $40 and also carried off about $50 worth of stamps. They used a lamp found in the store and emptied a bag of cookies on the counter, talk ing the bag presumably to carry away their loot.
 While cleaning up the store tooals were found in the debris, they includ- ed a big monkey wrench, a broken chisel and a screw driver. The in- truders forced their way into the store with the aid of a chisel with

GUN BARREL PLANT
 FOR CRESCENT ARMS.
To Occupy More Space in Industrial
 Buildins--EmpIoy About 25 More
 Men.

Already the effects of the European war are being felt in this city in more than one way. The Crescent Firearms company, which for years has supplied it's workmen with gun barrels finished in Belgium, is now forced to seek other means of continuing the supply. Since the middle Of July the company has received no gun barrels from Bel ssium and although inquiries have been sent in several ways no answer has been forthcoming. To cope with the situation the company has purchased considerable machinery and will install a plant to turn out their own gun bar reIs. The stock will be purchased in pars and will be finished at the local plant Tn eeXpense entailed in install ing the ne wn1achinery will amount to zeveral thousands of dollars.
 By Oct. Is the Lester & Wasley company, Inc, envelope and special machinery manufacturers, will vacate their present quarters on the second 1oor of industrial building No and will probably remove to the second floor of the Troy steam laundry build ng on Franklin street. The Crescent Firearms company will occupy the va removing their present assembling room from industrial building No. 2. The gun barrel plant will be located on the second floor of No. building and it is believed that 250 hands will be employed in the new plant. This will mean an increase of about 25 hands over the number now employed.
 When the Lester & Wasley company remove the firearms company will oc- cupy the entire floor space of the two industrial buildings with /the excep- tion of a small section of one floor utilized by Augustus Gould. The new machinery has been shipped and is now on it's way here.

 Engineer Elwell arrived here about noon and went with Supt. Samuel An derson in an automobile to view the work
 The regular running of cars on this extended line after the fair cannot be done at once, Superintendent Ander- son said on Thursday evening, since there are still some things to be fixed up about the new line.
