Waterbury's Scare,

It may have been toy balloon, ana it may have been something else-pos sibly real airship-that lowered over the Scoville Manufacturing company 's plant Thursday midnight. The Water bury Republican chose to believe what other folks said about it, especially as they claim they saw it 'with their own eyes," The Republican says:
 ''Flying high over the plant of the Scoville Manufacturing company, with It's black bulk outlined against the sky, and with brilliant light Il Iained earth. ward, a mysterious aircraft. seen by numerous persons about the Scoville plant created sensation just before midnight last night. The aircraft sailed peacefully to the eastward, with the bright light burning visibly until it became tiny speck in the distance. "
 Further the Republican says: "The police would not discuss the matter. When called, the desk lieutenant re- fused to affirm or deny it. T was not at the plant you know,' the lieutenant stated, 'and so could not say that an aircraft was seen."

Coal SI2,4O a Ton.

AS result of a campaign launched by Sealer of Weights and Measures Ed. ward J. Maroney, two retail coal deal. CTS faced the New Haven city court Thursday to answer to charges of false sale of merchandise. The two dealers, Samuel Greenberg and Ruben Hyatt, upon pleas of guilty, were fined $3 and costs respectively.
 The arrests followed complaints to the effect that these dealers were sell. ing bags of coal containing Is pounds, when as matter of fact, they were represented as being IS pounds in weight. The bags sold for 10 cents each and show great profit for the dealer inasmuch as the selling of coal on this scale would bring in about $12.40 for every ton. The coal was introduced as evidence in the city court and is cheap grade of wash pea.
 City Attorney Moyle characterized the sale of this sort of coal at such an exorbitant price as one of the meanest frauds imaginable.

Railroad Earnings.

According to published statement by the New Haven road the earnings in January were the largest for that month in the history of the company but so were the expenses and taxes. The storm damage of December, the bad, foggy weather in January, the congestion of freight resulting in slow movement and much overtime contrib uted to the increase in expenses. "Per diem" charges for freight cars alone increased $213, 3,258.O5 which accounts for much of the increase in "Deduc- tions.'
 Transportation expenses increased $453, 5 .99, compared with an increase in earnings of $1 ,281, ,743. 79; fl, 33 per cent. of gross earnings were expended as compared with January of previous years as follows: 1915, 42.95; 1914, 47.86; 1913, 46:28; 1919, 46.14; 1911, 43.76; 1910, 43.83 and 1909.

Uncle Horace's Big Storm.

Uncle Horace Johnson promises a record breaking storm, beginning to. morrow and lasting until Sunday. Here is his warning.
 Beware! Beware! Take carel From the l7th to the 18th there will be a disturbance m the atmosphere which will long be remembered by the people along the Connections valley and its tributaries from Connecticut lake to the ocean. The indications are for a terrific rain storm, very likely to come from the Gulf in the form of south. easter possibly northeaster. If from the northeast, longer and stronger.
 In either case be prepared for serious damage The ground is in frozen condition and the melting snow will all be moving rapidly and every pass. way from Mount Washington to the At. lantic will be filled with the avalanche of melting snow and ice. It will be like the blizzard, long to be remembered.
 Much might be written pertinent to the subject. Noah warned the people. They did not take heed until they be- gan to take in water; so it is the prophets are served. I have a mountain that has an altitude of 900 feet above the sea level. I invite all nothing small with me. Bring your grub. MT. Editor, did you ever consider, when Noah tied up his scow to Ararat, whether he was on an even keel or not If not on an even keel he must have had trouble in the discharging of his cargo; the bed bugs, lice and mosquitoes he could scare off; they would sure come again. The mastodons, the ele- phaats and the lugadons must have been stunts. Perhaps you can explain; I am not much of Bible scholar. l will bet you five the storm will come.
 F. S.-We shall have serious accounts from the north. The Ammonoosuc and the White rivers will equal Niagara. They are powers of earth; nothing can check their flow but natures level.

The Local NeWspaper.

This is the way it looks to writer who has travelled some, aud watched for reasons why town. prospers. He says this about the town newspaper
 "Stand by your town newspaper. If there is anything in your town worth talking about, ten chances to one your little town paper had hand in putting it there, and if there exists any un- slightly or unsavory nuisance. twenty chances to one it will stay there until your town editor sees it or smells it and wipes his pen on the town board s brooches. If anybody beyond the walls of your little burg ever learns that there is such place as Peaceville, it will be through the town oracle.
 'Every village gets it's moneys worth in the village newspaper. It's the wagon that carries all your good things to market. 1t ought to be kept in good repair. In many cases it would pay to grease it, paint it, keep it in running gear in shape and shelter it at the pub- lie expense.
 "Stand by your local newspaper. It's the guardian and defender of every interest, the forerunner and pioneer of every advance movement and the sturdy advocate of law and order. Take it away, and it would not be six months before the town would look as if it had been doped Business would drag, society would yawn and grass would grow between the cobbles.''

Selling Boh Veal.

A carcass of bob veal, found in the market owned by Dezzo Brothers, Bridgeport, was destroyed Saturday afternoon by Inspector Dunbar of the Health department. The inspector visited the store and seeing the veal told the keeper not to sell it. Inspector Dunbar returned within a few minutes with pr. A. O. Knapp, meat inspector, who declared it was bob veal.
 Dezzo said he bought it from Lyman Friedman, of Hallett street, but did not intend to sell it. Friedman said it was taken from hook in his place by a wagon driver, and that it was not in- tended to be sold. He said it came from New. Milford farmer. Both have good records and the officials gave them the benefit of the doubt. The law provides penalty of $100 for each carcass of bob veal found in the pos. session of any marketman.
 Inspector Dunbar says these veals are brought into the city by farmers during the night, and will begin an investiga- tion.

E. ]. PEARSON ON THE JOB

New Haven's Additional Vice. Presi-
 dent. an Important Appointment.
 MT. E. J. Pearson has been appointed a vice president of the New Haven road, with headquarters in Boston.
 He will act as a general assistant to MT. Elliott, and in particular will have charge of all matters relating to coR- struction. operation and maintenance.
 Ever since Mr. Hustis left the New Haven to take charge of the Boston a Maine, the question of increasing the staff of the company has been under discussion. General business, however, was so dull until the summer of 1915 and the ability of the company to spend money for adding to its facilities was so limited that it did not seem necessary to bring the matter to a conclusion. Since July 1 last, however, the pressure on all of the officers of the company and on MT. Elliott in particular, has been so great that this subject has been very carefully considered. A special committee of the board came to the con- clusion that the number of problems corporate, financial, constructive and operating-which required attention could not be settled as promptly as they should be unless the company had additional help. Every officer of the company has now all he can do, and there is not enough time for careful analysis of all the present and future problems. The company must rear range it's finances, it must deal with the report of the Massachusetts Public Service Commission, it must take B the question of disposing of properties with a book value of $I33, ,000, 900 which have been ordered sold by th Federal Court, if must check up ana correct numerous important contracts and it must spend as much money as it can obtain in several years for additions to its plant in order to make it adequate for the business of New England. The company, also, must continue to give greater and closer attention to the work ing conditions of the men on the road in an effort to make them better. Furthermore, it must increase its efforts to produce transportation in sufficient quantity and quality and naturally the company must also try to reduce the cost of producing transportation so that it will have more money for improve ments and thus hasten the day when some return can be made to the stock holders. To spend many millions of dollars is difficult task, and to select those pieces of work which are most important to be done first is even more difficult. A man of MT. Pearson's training and experience will be of much help in disposing of the numer- ous problems that are pressing for solu- tion at the present time.

 "Oh Music, thy celestial claim
 Is still resistless, still the same.''
