Boys in Jitney Business.

| swept the country, there are none
operating in New Britain. Realizing
this fact and DESTROYS of making money
during the summer to help out in
their college education, two boys of

iously trying their hand at the Jit-
ney game. The boys, while they
have not entirely completed their
| plans at the present time, see no
grave obstacles in their path and ex-
| pect to commence this business in
| June. They have plenty of conf
dence in themselves and if the VEN
ture is once started they will un-
doubtedly pull through.
| Baseball.
| The local school baseball team will
play it's third regular game of the
| season tomorrow afternoon when they
meet the Connecticut Literary Insti-
tute nine in Suffield. Twelve players,
Manager Baldwin, M. F. Davis Of the

the trip. The local battery will be
| Dudack and Conley.

being done in connection with the
senior English class work.

| surely will be a lost PARADISE for
those who miss this production. The
| cast has been rehearsing since the
early part of January, which alone
