Nearly One Hundred and Thirty
 Drafted Men Fail to Comply With |. Iaw--Names on Police List.

Approximately 130 men of the near ly 1000 who registered on June of last year. in this district as subject to call for military service have failed to return their questionnaires and their names have been placed on police list, being compiled by the clerks of the exemption board.
 During the past three weeks the names of numbers of these man have been filed with police officials in the towns of Putnam, Killingly, Wood stock, Thompson, Eastford and Ash ford and quite a few of the deinquents have been rounded up and obliged to discharge the obligations imposed up- on them by the government, but the great majority of the missing men cannot be located.
 It is certain however, that some of these men are officially lost because they have failed to notify the local board of change of address. A considerable number of the names on the police list are of colored men who were here from southern states last summer and in the employ of the New Haven road as construction ang workers at the time of registration. Practically all of these men have drifted back to Virginia, Georgia and the CdIOll1dS dHu lIley aepdA Leu WAelI out bothering their heads over thell 1 liability to military service. Search for them VII go on through official channels and in the course ot time some of them will be found, fol ! the arms of the government are long l and reach out with no uncertain grasp.

 No man who has health and strength need be without well paying work for the remainder of the winter ii he cares to join the forest briSades that are being formed to attack the wood lots that are being thrown open for cutting.
 One hears stories these days of first class choppers who are earning as high as $24 week, and that are not working extra long hours at the job either, compared to the time that em- pioyes are giving in many occupa- tions.
 Big money is available for the man with the axe, and there cannot be too many applications for work, as is 1n- dicated by an advertisement Of one Danielson man who has sent out a call for 150 choppers.
 Much of the work that is offered is not distant from Danieison, so that q man who lives in this vicinity and goes into the woods can be at nome every night. There is an enormous demand for cord wood, this being swe1led by | heavy orders from manufacturing con cerns that are short of coal. Choppers not only have chance to | work at a remunerative rate, but also I to perform a public service by relley1 Ing the fuel shortage

 so THEY LIFT OUT

Local druggists are having a tre-
 mendous call for freezone, the drug
 which is said to shrivel a corn, root and ak without any pain. A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn, relieves the sore ness at once, and shortly the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out with the fingers.
 This new drug is being dispensed at sHlal, cost in quarter ounce bottles. which is sufficient to take of every hard or soft corn from one's feet. It l is sticky substance which dries at once, and does not infiame or even irritate the surroun ling tissue or skin. There is no excuse for anyone invit- 1 ing death by infection or lockjaw from cutting their corns now.
