Yarn and How to Knit Ii

Through the kindness of IsaacCham- peau, manager of the Peoples Store, arrangements have bee made to pro- vide yarn for Red Crossi relief work at a cost of s110 per pound, which is a considerable reduction from the retail price. One-half pound Of yarn makes two long scarfs which measure two wards. No. s bone needles are used and 60 stitches cast. For wristers No. IA needles are required and 20 stitches put upon three needles making 60 stitches in all. Knit two plain and two seams alternately,tl y,tlength six inch es, are the instructions given for msk- ing these articles. It is suggested that men may assist in the work by buying yarn for the women who are willing to spend their time knitting. IL is no uncommon sight to see women on railroad trains, both in parlor cars and day coaches, take out ball of yarn, knitting needles, and engage in ithe philanthropic work of mercy.

Says Girl Married Uncle

Town Clerk David Flagg is in re- ceipt of letter from a pastor of a Northfield, .Mass., church relative 10 the marriage in this city of Miss Celia Maynard and 0yilda Boyer, the for mer 2 and the latter g years old. Rep. resentation is made that Boyer Is the natural uncle of his wife. The writer states that such marriages are not per- mitted under the laws of Massachusetts and inquiries if they are permissible under 'Connecticus laws. The town clerk has on file a marriage license issued to the parties named which shows that they were married here on the date given. In discussing the case NIT. Flagg called attention to the fact that the license form contains no query to be asked applicants as to whether or not they are blood relations which he regards as a serious oversight and one which should be remedied so that such a situation could not arise without the applicant committed perjury. Under our law if niece marries her uncle the marriage is void.

W hats In 4 Name :?

That President Wilson's appeal to the citizens of the United States to re- main absolutely neutral is not always needed appeared in a forceful and un- usual manner Saturday. X lady in a town not far from Putnam had become engaged in sRed Cross work and was knitting various articles for relief work. Getting short of yarn she went to dry goods store and asked for some yarn telling the proprietor of the store what it was wanted for. He came forward with several skeins and told iher that it was just what was needed and was the finest German yarn made. At this the lady got very much excited and refused absolutely to purchase or have anything to do with the commodity although when the proprietor finally discovered the cause of the trouble he assured her that the yarn was manufactured right here in the Nutmeg state. The lady however marched out of the store without making purchase.

Big Clothing House to Retire from
Business.

Reports that the Barre Clothing Store,
established here about three years ago,
is about to withdraw from the retail
clothing business jim this city has been
confirmed. 1t is said that the firms
many obligations must be met within
a very short time and in order to re-
tire with the respect of everyone in the
trade it is essential to sell out at once
to meet their heavy obligations. Mr..
Yeti, the proprietor, said to-day that
sale would be held beginning some
time this week at which the entire stock
would be sold at retail at very low
prices. 1t is learned that the decision
to retire was made after many months
of deIiberation and many business re-
verses for this firm. 1t is likely that
the sale will be very interesting one.
This firm was closed by the creditors
few months ago and it is in order to
avoid a repetition of such an affair that
the firm has decided to sell out and thus
accomplish liquidation in an honorable
manner.--Adv.
