EASTERN PIRATES
RhlDlNG THE WEST

Eastern politicians and news
papers during the past session
OF Congress have been bent on
making POLITICAL capital by the
false cry of conservation of the
natural resources of the west.
They have done their best to tie
up the water powers of the great
northwest in such a manner that
countless horsepower would run
to waste for years to come. This
is false conservation Of the rank
est kind, for water once run to
waste IS gone forever, while if it
was turned into power and en-
ergy it would not only utilize the
water but save coal and wood.
You never see this same bunch
of eastern politicians and Office
holders saying anything about
conserving the coal supply of the
east or doing anything to ham,
per the industrial development of
the section in which they live.
They pick out the west to spring
their POLITICAL experiments on
and buy their eastern votes with.
The last attack of these east
ern industry killing politicians
on the west has been the Calf
ornia OIL fields. In the name OF
conservation they are now trying
to disposess many small oil op-
orators in California of their
land and directly and indirectly
injure some $4,000 people en-
gagged in that industry in that
state.
! The citizens of California rose
up in protest at this action and
a relief measure was requested
and approved at the last session
of the legislature by JOINT reso.
luton, by Governor Johnson
Lieutenant Governor Eshelman
by the supervisors Of thirty
counties and by nearly three
hundred chambers of commerce
in that state.
Naturally western senators
and representatives supported
this unanimous request for re-
lief for the oil industry the same
as they supported measures un
der which the waterrowers o.
the west could be developed, a
\ the waterpower conference helt
: at Portland a few months ago.
Because the west will not 81
still and allow her great natura
! resources to be tied hand ant
foot, unscrupulous eastern pol
.ticians now accuse western sen
ators and representatives of try
/. ing to further a land grab bill II
: their measure for relief for tn
California OIL industry.
After an investigation Of tn
I case, the senate committee oi
public lands has recommended

relief measure for the California
OIL men. Now these same pol
iticians are carrying on a bitter
fight against Secretary Lane.
Senators Phelan, Works and
Pittman for their efforts to gain
relief for the oil industry.
One of the accusations made
by the enemies of the relief
Imeasure-that corporations ,
with a combined capital of many
millions, including the Standard
Oil Co., would be the chief ben
efc:aries of the legislation-is
disproven by an examination of a
map of the district, which shows
that so per cent of the land IN
volved is held by 1870 small oper-
ators while the remaining 90 per
cent is about equally divided be-
tween the Standard, Union, As
sociated and General Petroleum
companies.
| Secretary Lane and Senator
Phelan and Others who stand for
legislation tending towards the
industrial development of the
west deserve great credit.
Senator Phelan says, 81 be-
lieve my relief measure will give
the equitable relief which think
from an examination of the case.
is deserved, and a greater de-
velopment of oil will benefit the
public by reducing it's cost and
check the monopolistic tenden-
cies Of the large companies"

A CURE FOR BRONCHITIS
We Have Been Selling in Norwich for
Many Years a Remedy We
Guarantee

Please read the following letter and
we promise if you buy a bottle of
Vinol from US and are the least bit
dissatisfied, we will cheerful1y return
your money.
Woodstock, ILL., 'I suffered from
bronchitis, had a very bad cough and
a pain in my chest, was weak and
tired all the time. 1t seemed almost
impossible for me to go on with my
work. I tried different remedies with
out benefit, also cough medicines, but
my druggist recommended VinoI, and
1T gave me almost instant relief. It's
continued use cured my bronchitis
and built me up SO that I feel like
a different man." Charles Bolts.
The reason that cough syrups fail
in such cases is because they are
palliative only, while Vinol removes
the cause, being a constitutional rem
edy in which are combined beef and
cod liver peptones, iron and manga
nese peptonates and gIycerophosphates.
1t strengthens and revitalizes the en-
tire system and assists nature to ex-
pei the disease. Our faith in Vinol is
shown in the above offer.

There is a broader cooperation than
your meeting here, although this is a
grand thing. The Connecticut State

with each othe riff we want to be of

Sunday schools in this city and vicini-
ty when the largest gathering interest
ed in church work that has ever as
sep1bled in this city in recent years at
tended the Sunday School Rally which
was held in both the Broadway Con-
gregational and Central Baptist
churches.
AS the hour of the service approach
ed it was found that Broadway church
would not accommodate the crowd So
an overflow meeting was held in the
Central Baptist church where over 300
were in attendance. Practically every
Sunday school in this vicinity sent a
delegation and as the delegates ap-
preached the church, Union square
was like the assembling place Of an
army. Columns of delegates were
moving in all directions, some coming
up Broadway, others coming down
Broadway, over Church. street and up
Bath street.

troduced Robert Darling. president of
the state association as the first
speaker.
President Darling at the beginning
of his address illustrated his points
by drawing a diamond on a black
board. bringing out four fundamentals,
the Bible, Christian, service and Jesus
Christ.
He emphasized the fact that Jesus
Christ is the greatest Server the world
has ever seen and that He is the
greatest Teacher the world has ever
had Jesus taught in a very simple
way. We all know facts about His
teachings which are recorded to the
Bible.

CHRISTMAS Do.N'Ts.
Holiday Bulletin Issued by the Ma
tionaI Fire Protective Association.

The National Fire Protective asso-
citation has issued a holiday fire bull
letin.
1t contains a list OF Christmas don'ts
for the home, with the warming that
every year many children are burned
to death by fire caused by Christmas
candles. The list follows:
Do not>decorate your Christmas tree
with paper, cotton or any other IN
f1amnabie material. Use metallic tin
tons only, and set the tree securely
SO that the children in reaching for
things cannot Tip it over.
Do not use cotton to represent snow.
If you must have snow, use powdered
mica or asbestos fiber.
Do not permit children to light or
relight candles while parents are not
present. They frequently set fire to
their clothing instead. Electrical i'll
Illumination is safer.
Do not leave matches within reach
of children at holiday time. Candles
are meant to be lighted, and if the
children can get matches they will
experiment with them. They initiate
their elders.
Do not allow trees to remain inside
buildings after the holidays. The tree
itself ignites readily when needles
have become dry. A large number of
fires usually occur in January from
this cause.
A house of merriment is better than
a house of mourning.
Another feature of the bulletin is a
word for fremen, as follows:
Fires in winter impose unusually
severe hardships upon the. firenen.
Frozen hands and feet are common
incidents. in fighting winter fires.
Pneumonia frequently follows exposure
of those driven by fires out into the
cold. Defective heating and lighting
equipments and conhustible rubbish in
furnace rooms are the usual causes of
winter fires. Such fires are Nnneces-
sary and will not occur in premises
properly cared for.
Where are you going to put the
boxes, excelsior ard other combustible
packing material that come with
Christmas gifts?
Unknown to you, the life of child
may hang upon your answer.
Fire prevention leaves no aftermath
of regret.
There is also a warning for stores,
churches and bazaars. 1t SAYS:
Holiday fires in these, while filed
with people, are usually holocausts.
Light, infiammab1e decorations makes
fires easy to start and easy to spread
defect may do it.
Watch gas jets! Decorations may
be carried against them by air cur
rents.
watch smokers! DO not permit
them to light cigars inside buildings.
Do not make the slieh test change in
electric wiring without consulting
electrical inspector.
And last there is an injunction:
Read your Insurance policies II
changes are made in a building with
out the consent Of the insurance COM
pany, and il increases the FIRE hazard,
insurance cannot be collected If the
building burns.
