 First Snow Wednesday.
 There was an extraordinary occur renee in Danielson Wednesday morn ing. Snow fell for a few minutes dur ing the morning hours-at least people with good sight said it did-and Ed ward s, Carpenter failed to appear with his rig for his usual beat-them- all-to-it first sleighride of the season. His friends are betting, nevertheless, that Ee will make good before the end of the present month his unique record of many years and that his rosaries of bells will be the first to chime a wei come to Old King Winter.

instead of the, lines that have hereto fore been woven there. The market for the new lines has proved unusually favorable and the result has been a constantly growing need for more and more operatives. With the plant not yet operating to near the full capacity the company is. greatly handicapped for homes in which to house more operatives. Every one of the 67 tene- ments owned by the company is oc- cupied and other families of em- ployes are housed on the West Side in dwellings, of another mill corpora tion. In addition the company's board ing house is crowded to its limit with mill workers.
 Agent F. E. Cunneen says that forty families are waiting to come here, but are being kept away by lack of homes. The unusually high wage scale being paid at the mill is the attraction and the help that is coming here is higk class and a welcome addition to any town that is fortunate enough to get at the mill, where there is plenty of work, go away because there are no homes for them in Danielson.
 On the lines that are now being woven at the mill weaver operates a very few looms, some of them only more workers are required and will be required permanently than was the case under the old regime when weav- CTS ran half the shop" as the Saying used to be-
 Chance for HustIing Investors.
 From the viewpoint of those who are anxious for Danielson's industrial de- velopment, the crying need of the town today is. new homes and plenty of them. The borough and other sections are suffering for the need of them. Fifty houses would not be too many. Danielson has started to grow and grow. fast, but realization of the fact seems not to have come to pass In the past two years approximately 25 new homes have been built here, all are occupied, yet the demand for houses is greater than ever.
 Interviews with prominent business men indicate that individuals here would find profitable investment for their money in houses that could be rented by persons earning a moderate wage. It has also been suggested that outside capital might be invited to in Vestigate the local situation with a view to building houses and there has been mention of a, local Building and Loan association. Whatever the method to get the houses, Danielson and Killingly needs them as it needs no other immediate aid to industrial development and it seems to be up to somebody to get busy. Then prob ably many will be willing to help work the proposition out.

will be formed. An attempt will be made shortly to organize such a branch in each town in the county. There will be no further dues or obli- gations, but the members of the Wind ham County Farmers association will be urged to meet regularly. and to have a special programme prepared for their meetings. This plan has proved very successful in other locali- ties. At such meetings timely topics will be discussed and practical men will be present to aid in the discus sion.
 At the meeting in North Ashford, November 26, the following programme will be given:
 At 10.45 Professor J. A. Mclean, formerly head of the Department of Animal Husbandry of the Massachu- setts Agricultural college, will speak on Improving the Dairy Herd" Op- portunity will be given for questions and discussion. There will be a

At her home in Dayville Wednesday afternoon, Rev. J. w. Wright conduct ed funeral services for Mrs. Minerva Adams. Burial was in Westfield cem- etery. Louis E. Kennedy was the flu neral director.
 Towns Must Pay for Inebriates' Keep.
 The fact that this town, or any other town or city from which a person is committed. must pay the cost of main tenance of persons sent to the state farm for inebriates isn't going to make the practice a favorite one, however beneficial the results. It's cheaper to send them to. jail and that's where most of the inebriates will continue to go. The comptroller of the state has ruled that towns or cities must pay the cost of keeping inebriates at the state farm and the cost per person commitment, is not much less than s100.
 PatroIren-But Not Yet.
 After a conference the board of bur gesses has decided not to carry out the borough's vote to- place patrolmen on the street until they have secured the signed agreement of business men who heretofore have stated that they would pay to the borough stipulated sum each week for special supervision over their places of business. This probably would be about the same WeetSiy sum as DuSlneSS men nave been paying for night watchman service. It also has seemed desirable to the officials not to put the patrolmen on duty until set of rules and regula- tions to govern their duties and con- duct have been framed and adopted. Meanwhile the burgesses leave the matter of appointments of patrolmen until the other details are arranged.
 Chicken Pie Supper.
 Wednesday evening in the vestry of the Congregational church the ladies of the Congregational church at South Killingly served a chicken pie supper the proceeds from which are to be applied to the needs of the sister church, which was established in the eighteenth century and has ever since been a place of worship dear to the hearts of many of Killingly's oldest families. The supper was excellent and tenptingly served.
 Rev. William Zumbro to Speak.
