COUNTY AGENT WARNER
 TO HAVE ASSISTANT.
Increased Duties Make Additional Help Necessary For Welfare of Improve ment League.

At a meeting of the executive com mittee of the New Lon0on County In- provement League on Monday night, President Whitman in the chair, it was decided to secure an assistant county agent at a salary not to exceed $1,200. This action was taken as a measure to relieve County Agent F. c. Warner of some of the increased duties which have piled up in the past few months. Present at the meeting in addition to President Whitman were J. D. Avery, director, W. o. Rogers secretary, Robert w. Perkins. State Leader H. J. Baker. Assistant State Leader I. G. Davis. Director c. P. Bushnell, Treas urer Charles I. Smith, Director F. S. Hitchcock and County Agent F. c. Warner.
 The duties of the county agent have increased so that projects voted by the directors have been carried out with difficulty and as New London wants a branch office it was thought advisable to provide an assistant at a salary not to exceed S1.200.
 Organization of county work was discussed and it was decided to put it on a firmer basis than in the past. County Agent Warner was made man. ager of the Farm Bureau.
 Other questions taken up for dis cussion included that of travelling ex- penses for the directors when attend ing meetings and also the changink of the close of the fical year from April 30th to September 30th, to cor respond with the closing of the state year. The meeting adjourned about 930 after a very enthusiastic ses- sion.

Republicans Renominate Sen. Barnes

figure. The only failure was in get
 ting $10,000 appropriation for the new
 dormitory for nurses at the Backus
 hospital. If they are elected I am sat
 isfied they will get that amount if not
 more, appropriated at the next session.
 I have no ulterior motive in desiring
 to be returned to the senate. No i'll
 will towards any man, and no political axes to grind. The Lord willing, I
 would like to be returned once more, in order that, if possible, I might &C.,
 comp1ish certain measures. You saw
 fit in 1897 to send me to the house and
 again in 1899 to the senate. In those
 years after much effort, the Montville
 trolley was put through, and it has
 been a paying proposition ever since,
 and big benefit to NoFwfch It is
 my desire to see that the Norwich,
 Colchester & Hartford Traction com
 pany is likewise put through and
 built. It will in my opinion be of
 vast benefit to Norwich. I own no
 stock in the company and expect none,
 but Norwich has been kind to me,
 much kinder in the past, than I de-
 served and I want to do what I may
 for my town and district in return.
 The representatives of the county saw
 fit to select me. as one of the members
 of the committee on the erection of a new bridge at Mantle. I am satisfied that I can do more and better work as a member of the senate, in trying to have the bridge in question built
 by the state and thus save the town of Norwich over $22, 900. There are
 other matters I have in mind and they are all in the interest of my town and district and inhabitants thereof irrespective of party or politics
 Whether or not I did my duty as a member of the house of 1897 and in the senate of 1899 and 1915. let the
 records of those years be my judge
 I am willing to be judged by them I thank you.
 On motion of Clerk Crowe11 the sen- atorial committee was reelected. The committee comprises Wallace S. All lis, Norwich; Edward Lester, Ledyard
 and Benjamin Bentley, Preston. On behalf of Senator Barnes Chair man AIlis invited the delegates to g l luncheon at the Wauregan house after adjournment which was taken at one o'clock.

AT THE DAVIS THEATRE.
The Blue Envelope.

To say that The Blue Envelope, the three act farce presented at the Davis theatre on Tuesday evening, was all and even more than vouched for by the theatre mana agement would be but to give it just credit. It was in fact one of the best productions of its kind ever brought to Norwich by the Davis management The audience, although not the largest of the season, was of good size and they manifested their the cast with well deserved applause.
 Carrie Reynolds as The Angel, an angel as far as attractiveness and beauty are concerned, but a sly, clever woman, ready at a moments notice to entrap unsuspecting man in her meshes (she seemed to prefer fat mem, was well backed up by an excel lent cast Edward Garvfe. as John Doe, fat and witty, natural born com edian in truth, and one of the Angels victims, seemed to have formed a habit of getting in difficulty after diff f1cu1ty. comical predicaments, and then getting out of them as quickly as he got in. Dr. Andrew Maurice (Victor Brown), who served as a sort of ref cree i,1 the general mixup of domestic affairs, was exceptionally good. John MacSweeney took the part of the clustering and quick tempered also fat Colonel Horatio Bulgers one of the doctors patients, who got into almost as much trouble, innocent1y, too, as John Doe. Ralph Nairn appeared as Dr. Plant, proprietor of a sanatarium which served as refuge for unfort- unate and easy going John Doe, and also for Richard Doe, whose approach ing marriage was very nearly broken up by the sudden appearance of his wife, The Angel whom he thought dead. In spite of the tangle which seemed to grow with every turn John Doe made, the farce had a harmonious ending and the audience left the thea tre well satisfied with the evening s entertainment.
