According to a travelling man fanil- jar with all railroad routes in New England, the large electric sign on the Westerly mills of the American Thread company is the neatest and most at tractive of any along the railroad lines. It is not as large or as orna- mental as some, but as the traveller puts it: That electric sign is beauti- ful in its simplicity, with just enough color to brighten its plainness and to add to its attractiveness That big sign of the Cottren plant is another attractive electric illuminator that gives railroad passengers a good i'm pression of the progressiveness of Westerly.

Postmaster Farrell and his compe- tent force were equal to the Christmas emergency, and although the rush of business was greater than ever, there was not a solitary leftover piece of mail matter that was intended for Christmas delivery. With decks clear ed, the postofice force are prepared to handle the special New Years busi- ness with like alacrity. The public is pleased with the excellent service, but rot a whit more than is every man in the postal branch employed in West erly.

The Pawcatuck river was free from ice and open to navigation on Christ mas day, but Tuesday morning it was necessary for the steamer Westerly to break out the ice to the mouth of the river in order to tow a light barge down the river. At one time during the present winter the river was cov- cred with ice four inches in thickness and the Westerly could break through this with less damage than bucking ice half as thick, Thin ice, and still freezing, seems to be more tempered and leaves sharp, cutting edge, while thicker ice and thawing leaves a sort of rounding edge that is not damaging to vessels hull. The comparatively thin ice cuts into the seams and at times is so sharp as to take a. shaving from the planking as we'll as penetrat- ing the seams.

WHY CROPS RUN OUT.

The question is often raised as to
whether crops run out" or not To
say that crops do not run out" would
be to deny that any variations are pro
duced by changed conditions or envf-
ronment. When plants are brought
into new conditions of soil, climate,
or methods of farming less favorable,
they will tend to deteriorate or run
out"
Desirable Qualities Suffer First Un-
der Unfavorable Conditions. Ii corn

grain will be small Under unfavor-
able conditions the plant tends to re-

Best Methods Necessary. 1t is only
by the best methods of seed selection
and of cultivation that the farmer can

LAW HAS PROVED BENEFICIAL
British Employers Of Labor Give Cor
dial Endorsement 10 the Daylight
Saving Proposition.

Inquiries in the leading eenters Of
Industry Indicate that the operation OF
the summertime act IS. among other
results, having the effect Of increasing
the output Ia shlpyards and engineer
Ing works, says the London Times. ON
the northeast coast some of the yards
have been able 10 arrange additional
spells Of daylight overtime, and 10
other establishments there has been
an Increase In output owing to the fact
that there are IN the aggregate large
number Of extra hours when the work
can be carried on without the aid Of
artificial light and with a lessened
sense Of fatigue.
If statistics can be kept which VIII
eDable comparisons to be instituted be-
tween the output Of the present SUM
mer and the corresponding period Of
last year II is believed that the CONE
parIson viii be all 10 the advantage Of
the present year.
Additional evidence Of the benefit Of
the act from the Industrial standpoint
comes from the railways. II has been
stated in the official organ Of the Ma
tionaI Union Of Railwaypcn Chat the
alteration OF the clock has been fol-
lowed by ar Improvement Ia the work
Ing OF long-dstance night goods trains.
II hns been found that the extra hour
cf daylight has enabled the trains to
be made up and loaded In less time,
and there Is a general feeling la rail-
way circles that the summertime act
should come into permanent operation.
ns II would enable the work Of railway
goods yards to be conducted with |
greater rapidlty and safety.
3 A point which seems to appeal to the
men who are on an eight-hour shift is
that, whatever the turn Of duty to
which they are assigned they either
begin or finish work in daylight. This
may seem to be a small and unimpor-
tant matter, but the fact that it has
caused comment among a large body
of workers reveals an unexpected dl-
rection In which putting working hours
ia advance Of solar time has proved
beneficial.

WAR BRIDES is TRIUMPH

"Nazimoya is greater in pictures
than she ever was on the stage. Her
bert Brenon's masterful direction
proves him to be the David Belasco Of
pictures.
"No one who previously saw War
Brides, a tabloid drama by Marion
Craig Wentworth, would ever believe
that it could be produced as a motion
picture with hundreds of striking
scenes to make it a fiIrs event. But
this has been done, and has been man
aged so cleverly that never during the
entire action is there moment that
drags, nor is there any detail, not
even the most trivial, that could in
any way be spared from this great
Selznick-Picture as a big factor.
"The cast shows evidence of care
full selection. Mia Mac deserves es-
pecial credit for her strong acting as
the sister, but next to the acting Of
Nazimova must be mentioned that Of
Gertrude Berkeley, who, as the moth
er. was received so vociferously that
she might almost have been said to
equal the star at times
"The picture all through. shows evil
dence of careful study and long, un.
firing effort. The mastery of detail,
which might seem at a glance to be
little thing, but which is in reality SO
important, is ingeniously handled.

Dear john
In your Town Sketches" last
week you stated that Jesse Helms
had conceded the election of his DEM
oeratic opponent and sent him tele-
gram of congratulation. In this you
were sadly misinformed. Republican
chairman. Milt Haigler. not only re-
fuses to eoncede the election of the
Democratic township ticket but will,
am informed. ask for recount of
the votes at Unionville and North
Goose Creek. He AYERS that a Re-
publican majority of fifty in 1914
could not possibly be changed to n
Democratic majority of forty or fifty
in two years.
Until the thing is finally settled
Jesse Helms, William Hagler and
Lige Little are not going TO send
congratulatory kilograms to anyone.
1t is also said that two of the condi-
dates for magistrate and the candi-
date for constable on the Democratic
ticket are not eligible to hold the Of
flee to which they have been elected
on the ground that the law provides
that no man shall hold two offices at
one and the same time. They say
that Esq Secrest. who is a member
of the county board of education. and
Esq. Braswell, who has recently been
elected member of the county board
of agriculture. are thereby both dis
qualified from holding the high Of
flee of justice of the peace in the
great State of Goose Greek. 1t is
pointed out that the constitution OF
Goose Creek provides that no person
shall hold the office of constable for
more than two terms and that Will
Presley has already held the office
longer than is allowed by law and
that therefore his Republican oppo-
nent. Mr.. Lige Little, should be given
the certificate of election. This is
about the way matters stand at pres
ent.
