The meeting and banquet of the as- sociation, the first of it's kind ever held in this city, was q signal success in every respect. Retiring President Philip Troup of New Haven presided at the meeting in his usual capable manner, injecting plenty of snap into his remarks.
 With the appetites of more than fifty members of the association ap- peased with turkey and fixin's, the meeting settled down to routine mat ters. President Troup briefly covered the events or the past year and ex- plained the reason for the postpone ment of the customary summer meet ing. Secretary Teevan reported that receipts for the year totaled $137 and expenditures were $94, leaving a bal ance of $43.
 Election of Officers.
 President Troup appointed a nom- mating committee to bring in a list of officers for the ensuing year con- sisting of 'Postmasters Callahan of Branford, Cox of .sWallingford and Molans of Seymour. The committee

tion, however, had determined that over 50 per cent. of the depositors were Americans.
 Enter President Delaney
 Applause that lasted several minutes, accompanied the acknow- ledgment of the introduction of the new president by the presiding officer and when 1t abated Postmaster De- laney said that he was proud to have the postmasters gather in this city for their annual meeting, and in selecting him as their president, he believed that the association had honored the city rather than the recipient of the honor. He thanked the mayor for his attendance at the banquet He said that the threatening crisis which hung over the city for a few hours would be thoroughly eradicated, be- cause that's the way George Quigley does things.' The speaker said that he believed the mayor was a good democrat because the democrats had much to do with his election, more so than some of the republicans Speak ing of Georges, Postmaster Delaney said the city had had three of them, the late George Corbin, George M. Landers and George A. Quigley. The first has been removed by death: the second, a republican while in office, had seen the error of his way and had come over on the right side, and he believed that there was yet time to save the present George.-Mayor Quigley. Postmaster Delaney assured his auditors that Mayor Quigley was mayor of the city, and nobody else, and he wanted the visitors to carry that idea home with them.
 Retiring President Troup, com- menting on the speech, said there was some doubt in his mind whether Mayor Quigley would came over on the right side or Postmaster Delaney be- come Quigleyized
 Makes Good Start
 Postmaster George Forster of Rock vile, made his maiden speech before quitted himself with glory befitting halo. He spoke of the manner in which the republican legislators are conducting affairs at the state capitol, characterizing it as riding rough shod" over the people. He said that although the republicans believe that it is decreed by divine right that they shall hold office the present post masters are proving their capabilities in carrying out the work entrusted to them.
 Postmaster O'Brien of Waterbury, "the youngest postmaster in Connec- ticut," although somewhat bashful, offered congratulatory remarks.
 Postmaster Bohl spoke of sugges- tions offered by Postmaster Meaney of Greenwich, whereby each member would prepare a paper on O subject for the betterment of the service, the same to be read at the annual summer outing.
 Postmaster Meaney proved to be q live wire postmaster, when he pointed out that in his town at present a new federal building is being erected and recently by measuring the dis tance from the office to the railroad

later presented the names of the fol- lowing officers: President, William F. Delaney of New Britain; vice presi- dent, M. Harry Walsh of Middletown: secretary treasurer, D. T. Teevan of Shelton.
 President Troup reported inability of MT. Ellsworth of Washington, D. C., who was to be the principal speak CT to be present on account of pres sure of governmental business. He also read regrets from Congressman Augustine Lonergan and ex-Congress- man Thomas l.. Reilly of Meriden. He reported a telephone message re- ceived several days ago from Post master M. Harry Walsh of Middle town who stated that on account of ill health his presence at the meet ing would be impossible.
 Mayor Quigley Speaks.
 Mayor Quigley was the first speak CT introduced, and he was rendered reception. He extended to the post masters a warm welcome, assuring them that he would not connect them in any way with the events of last evening. laughter It was the first time, the speaker said he had ever had the opportunity of addressing such a "hand- picked" bunch of dem ocrats, but after looking them over he regretted that some of the repub- ican postmasters were forced to leave the association Observation of the gathering assured him that the business of the government was be- ing cared for in a very capable man. ner and that. in Postmaster De- laney, the city has one of the best postmasters it has ever had. He be- lieved the time was near when poli- tics would be entirely severed from post office affairs. Mayor Quigley eulogized President Wilson, saying that he was deserving of the support of every loyal American, which brought forth applause.
 President Troup said that the talk was what he would call a first class democratic sreech."
 Civil Service Faults.
 Postmaster John J. BohI of Stam- ford, the first democratic vice presi- dent of the association, told how he made his advent into office with the remainder of the members republi- cans. He also gave some very point ed views in regard to the civil ser vice rules, whereby many appoint ments are made because students out of school have knowledge at their finger tips, whereas, many men more inclined to hustle and work fall low CT in the tests. He thought this was matter that should receive the earnest attention of all members of the association. He also believed that politics would be discovered from the postmaster positions in a very few years.
 Postmaster Greene of Bridgeport, the office which has attained such Great success in the past year in it's postal savings and money order de- partments, told of conditions in the Park city relative to the post office. The enormous growth of the postal savings. deposits led many to believe that it was entirely due to the inn mense foreign population. 1nvestisa-

OLD SLEUTH PUCK

Sheriff Puck Powell has an exalted
opinion of his ability as detective.
He read everything he-could find on
the career of Sherlock Holmes un-
til he imagined that he had thereby
acquired wonderful deductive abii-
ties. On one particular case, so we
are told, he said to his assistants:
"Now gentlemen, we have traced
these clues, the foot prints of the
horse and the foot prints Of the man
right up here to this stump. From
the stump on there's only the foot
prints of the horse. Now, gentle.
men, the question arises: What has
become of the MANI" Now if that

On the same day in committee of the
whole the Brewer bill, providing for
the registration of lobbyists was de-
feated, the vote being 21 to 13 on roll
call.
Monday the battle over EMPLOYEES
in the house quieted down sufficiently
for the committee on employees to land
jobs for another dozen. The total
number Of house employees now is 107.
Six more than last session. In the
senate there are SO employees.
Tuesday in the senate there was an
other battle royal in committee of the
whole on S. B. "a, designed to permit
banks of 100000 capital to establish
branches at two other places in the
county. Thursday the bill passed the
senate and was sent to the house. In
the house on the same day there was
hard fight in committee of the whole
over the maximum rate of interest,
fixing it at 1919. It was recommend.
ed for passage and later in the week
was sent to the senate.
Standing committees favorably re-
ported the constitutional convention

the time of the house was given to

MAY USE CONVICT LABOR

For the purpose of furthering the
cause of good roads and better high
ways in Montana a bill has been in
troduced in the legislature directing
the state railroad commission to make
a rate of one cent per mile for the
transportation Of prisoners in the
state penitentiary to various parts Of
the state for work on roads.
The railroads are not opposing the
measure, although there has been q
doubt as to whether there was author
ity for granting such low rate. The
bill it is claimed will be of especial
benefit to counties in the extreme
northern and eastern portions of the
state as it will reduce the cost of TAX
ing prisoners there to sum that will
enable the county commissioners to
use them. .-.

Anderson is a bachelor and lived
alone. ale is reported to have left his
farm with a team and sleigh for the

intended to spend Christmas. Since

COMMERCIAL CLUB MOVES

The program and tentative plan of
the work of the Commercial Club dur
ing the coming year was discussed at
the meeting of the board Of directors
Friday evening.
Although it was the first meeting of
the new board, it radiated enthusiasm
and everyone present showed his will
lingness to "put his shoulder to the
wheel" and make the Commercial
Club of Glasgow the livest organiza-
tion in the livest town in the state.
The budget system of financing the
club will be carried out, and President
Sher IAN appointed committee COM
posed of John Goodrich, Chairman;
Leo Hurry and Glenn Maris to handle
this phase of the clubs work.
The Commercial Club is also doing
everything possible to have Glasgow
designated as the location for a nor
NAL school and a special committee
was appointed to work in conjunction
with State Senator Hurd to accom-
plish this. Fred Fischl was appointed
chairman of the committee, with Fred
Alvord and R. NJ. Young.
President Sherman is preparing his
list of standing committees for the
coming year and these will be an
nounced at the next meeting of the
board on February 9th.
The location of the Commercial
club rooms were changed this week
to the Rundle building. Here they
have rented two large offices which
are modern in every respect.
1t is the plan of President Sherman
to make the Glasgow Commercial Club
one of the biggest and best organiza-
tions of it's kind in the state and with
the cooperation of the business men
of the city much can be accomplished
