CUT GOAL DELIVERIES
 TO HALE OF ORDERS

Norwich householders who have had the good fortune to have delivered to them two o-thirds of their coal supply for the coming winter are the fortu- nate ones just now as a new order re- garding deliveries on orders larger than eight tons cuts the possible amount, that can be received to half instead of twe-thirds.
 The new order is effective at once. It was issued Saturday by Martin E. Jensen, chairman of the local fuel committee, and also bars the use of sign lights of any description and window lights on all evenings but Sat ulday. Exceptions to this rule are made in the case of the three Norwich theatres
 The following are the new regula- tions:
 Beginning Monday, August 18th, 1918, four tons of coal will be delivered on orders running from four tons to eight tons. On orders larger than eight tons only one-half of the order will be delivered. The coal dealers have been notified Of this change administrator. The conditions in Nor wich warrant the change in delivery.
 Up to August 18th. 1918 Norwicl had received 40 per cent. of its hard coal.
 1 On account of the collapse of ont coal dealers bin he was permitted tC deliver about 300 tons of egg coal tt consumers not strictly families.
 On account of over supply of egs coal in the case of another dealer ht was permitted to deliver to consumer not families. so long as this did no interfere with supplying families witt smaller sizes.
 With these two exceptions dealer
 are supposed to serve families first
 including boarding houses, apartmen
 houses and apartments over store
 and offices.
 For the present no increase in or
 ders will be granted.
 The municipal gas and electric plan
 and the chairman of the local fue
 committee have agreed that sig
 lights of any description and windo7 . lights of any description are to b used only on Saturday evenings
 The exception made relate to tn three local theatres. These theatre : may use sign lights for fifteen mir . utes only before the opening Of eao
 evenings performance, but are not 1 use sign lights at their\ first perform ance until the evenings are real !. dark
 At the close Of each evenings pe1 < formance outside 500 watt lights ma : be used by the theatres only suff ciently to insure the safety of the 5 patrons.
 3 The matter of street lighting is le wholly to the board of gas and elet ] trica1 commissioners in conjunctic T with the court of common counc r The plan adopted is the minimum = ligyht compatible with public safety.

The Robin S Song

All birds / love, but dearer is none
to me .@
Than the social robin, whose home is
the dooryard tree.
A cordial ccmrade, confiding in me as
a friend,
His notes with a lifetimes happiest
harmonies blend;
A place has he in all household fellow
ship
And memories deep that cling with
tightest grip;
The children love him; my neighbor is
he by choice.
A bird with domestic heart and a hui
man voice!
The orchestra of the birds is attuned
to suit
All sentiments; how tender the laugh
ing flute
OF the happy wren; the flicker's drum
how gay;
What glee in the Changing cymbals of
the Jay!
And the violin of the thrush pleads,
wooing tears.
A melody winging the wraiths of
sweet. dead years.
But the robin sings, he voices the love
of the nest,
And chords his song with my heart,
and it pleases best.
STOkELY S. FISHER.
