 Local support is promised for trunk state highway running through this town, making a shorter route between New York and Boston. The proposed route is through Wales to Fiskdale. From Fiskdale there is already a good highway through to Worcester. In all there is about eight miles of improved highway needed to close the gap. The Massa- chusetts legislature at the session just closed, appropriated $40, 900 to be used in Wales toward completing the connection and it is hoped that
 
 of the line will receive the attention of the Connecticut road makers. When the highway is completed it will relieve the trunk line from New York to Boston by the way of Springfield to a certain extent
 Here is another boost for the buy at home movement by Uncle Walt of the Boston Post: bought some rags of Tailor Skaggs, and paid him when [ got lem; he wept with glee; For now," said he, "I'll pay my bills, 1od rot 'em.'' So on the run he took the mon, and paid the corner grocer, whose trade was bad, and who was sad, because the wolf drew closer This made him smile, and for a while the man of teas and sages, thought cheerful thinks, forgot the kinks, and paid his clerks their wages. And Billiam Burke, the old head clerk, put up some thankful phrases his wife was i'll - the druggists bill had worried him like blazes. The druggist cried, ''Doggone your hide, thank you for these roubles; I'm in the hole and need a roll to ease my weight of troubles. '' The druggist paid that winsome maid, his first assistant, Annie, and just for luck she blew a buck for roller skates for granny. And thus my soads brought help to lads and girls beyond the counting; much trouble ceased, and joy increased, and kept on mounting. You see, my friend, if you should spend your coin with local dealers, you're spreading glee and ecstasy to beat the sunshine spieIers.
