Unsuccessful Football Season Ends Tomorrow With Game at St.
 Nary's Field at 2:3O P. M.

New Britain high and New Haven high will battle on St. Mary's gridiron tom orrow afternoon in the last big game of the season for the both teams. The game is the last of the series of the triangular league, both teams having lost one game and won none. Hartford, the third team of the league bv victories over New Britain and New Haven, has already won the championship for this season.
 The locals have practiced faithfully for the past week and are confident of victory over the New Haven team. With their eleven in the pink of con- dition, instead of as in the case of the Hartford game, with a team half of whom were crippled, the game should result in 8 victory for the locals. The Franklin Square boys hope by big dicate themselves for the 32-0 trim ming which they received at the hands of Hartford two weks ago.
 The work of Billy" Burns, whose work was unquestionably the bright est feature of New Britains showing against Hartford, is expected to be much in evidence Saturday. Captain and can be counted upon to work hard against the Elm city boys. A change has been made in the line up for the

The red pine (Pinus Resinosa), CALI
ed In some parts of the country the
Norway pine, Is not so gigantic as the
white pine, It's common height being
only from so to SO feet, although it
sometimes reaches 100 feet in the
woods of Maine. 1t is a very hand
some tree, nevertheless. particularly
when it is young. In fact. it is one of
the most ornamental of the more COM
mon evergreens. 1t Is to be found
from Newfoundland south to Pennsyl-
vania, and west through Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. The Nor
way pine has a reddish-brown trunk,
which is marked by fiat ridges on old
trees. The needles of this variety are
found In pairs as rule, and are from
five to seven inches long. They are
dark green in color and almost
straight. They are sharply pointed,
and the inner surface Is fiattish, q
point to be remembered.

POSTAL SERVICE is BETTER
Improvement Throughout the Country
in Conduct of Business is Noted
by the Department.

Officials of the post office depart
ment claim that it has been proved
that the service rendered to the people
of the country at post offices has been
greatly improved, notes a Washington
correspondent, and they substantiate
this claim by the diminishing number
of complaints that are received and
| by expressions of approval in the
press and elsewhere. In the depart
ment, it is also pointed out, CORE
spondence with postmasters Is con-
Quoted with more facility and expedi-
ton than formerly, and the reports
of post office inspectors, as we'll as
statements furnished by the auditor
of the department indicate that the
ability of postmasters to conduct their
post Offices satisfactorily to the public
and to the department is greater than
1t has been at any time in the past.
The increased efficiency of postmas-
tiers has been due, ii is asserted, not
only to the care exercised in their Sc
lection, but also to the kind and
amount of service required of them.
No postmaster has been permitted to
regard his position as a sinecure, but
all postmasters have been required TO
devote net less than eight hours of the
day to their official duties and to as
sumo the active direction of the postal
operations committed to their charge.
Wide discretion has been granted
postmasters in the arrangement and
adjustment of their facilities to meet
local needs and demands for service,
but complete subordination and coop
to the important general policies OF
the department and the specific direc-
tions issued for standardizing the
methods of work and organization in
post offices. The department has not
hesitated to remove such postmasters
as have failed, after appointment, to
measure up to the required standard
of efficiency and performance.
1t is stated that practically all post
masters of the fourth class now serv-
ing have been appointed as result
of competitive civil service tests. The
service in small communities through
out the country has been benefited by
the impartial selection of the most
competent persons available to serve
as postmasters, and by the appoint
ment of those persons in accordance
with procedure which makes the civil
service status of each unquestiona-

Love BuQ Is Found.

City magistrates are accustomed to
meeting all kinds of bugs" but never
before had the magistrate sitting in
Jefferson Market court, says a New
York correspondent, encountered the
love bug" until recently. Standing
at the bar was a modest looking fell
low who admitted that more than 200
pretty girls were after him. All want
ed to marry him. he told the court.
They loved his eyes. his smile and him.
In fact, worshipped him. And hinder
Ing his progress, he complained, was
one woman, for whom he earnestly
sought a warrant for arrest Then,
free from the ever-watchful eye of her
who was bound to ruin his life, he
would go out. love them all, marry
them all, give them all homes on Fifth
avenue, repay them for the love they
gave him. From behind small pocket
mirror he told his story. A flake of
dust on his cold nose he wiped away
with lavender handkerchief. And
could the judge do anything for him7

The office door opened again. II
was just "GeOrde" Grant. Geordie
was bubbling over with Il joke, as
usual, but for once Eric wasn't in q
humor to hear it. His welcome was
curt and businesslike, but that didn't
dampen Geordie's ardor.
"Well. have you found herr" Geordie
asked, as he sat on a corner of Eric's
desk.
"Whom?" asked Eric, assuming in
nocence and hiding his annoyance.
"Why, Miss Cinderella, the lady who
lost her slipper-or, pardon me-rub-
Der. It's rubber this time. isn't it?''
| Geordie's laugh was altogether too
loud. but Eric would not let him see
he was angry.
"Don't be an ass / don't see the
joke. Can't l advertise the thing

"Sure thing; but people don't usual
ly spend more money advertising In

they find it worth, do they? Come on,
now, loosen up on the romance. Did
Miss CINDERELLA leave her rubber in
your car, or did she throw 1t at you,
or what? The boys all want to hear
about it. It's the joke Of the club. and
you'll have to offer some explanation"
Eric's anger had about reached the
boiling point, but he was sensible
enough to know 1t would be wasted on
'Geordie Grant. He thought it over
for a minute. There was nothing in it
but to explain to Grant. That was the
best way to get the talk stopped at
the club.
"If you'll sit down like sensible
creature, I'll explain to you. Geordie,"
he began. "You know what a terribly
wet day yesterday was. Well, my

For the twentieth time that morn
Ing Eric Spencer looked up expectant-
~ as someone entered his private of
nee, and for the twentieth time he
sank back in his chair with a sigh.
All morning he had been expecting
someone, but as the hour reached noon
ne almost gave up in despair. With
each new arrival at his office came
disappointment. There seemed to be
more coming in than usual and their
business was so trivial it irritated him.
He would have gone to the club to
get away from 1t all If it hadn't been
for the chance of missing her 1t
would never do for him not to be
there when she arrived.
For the fiftieth time he pulled open
the top drawer Of his desk and took
out rubber for woman's left shoe.
What very small rubber it was. he
thought as he placed it beside his own
big foot. Carefully he placed the rub
folded, mud-besmirched paper.
opened it and read the typewriter
words on it, his face lighting up with
pleasure as he read and re-read it.
"If I could only find her." he ejacu-
lated, as he put the paper back in the
drawer with the rubber.
A newspaper was the next to take
his attention. He pulled 1t from his
pocket. opened it at the classified col
umn and found the advertisement he
was looking for under Lost and
Found" There was no mistake in the
insertion. 1t was printed just as he
had given it to them, for wonder.
He read it aloud to make sure:

UNITED WAR WORK; CITED FOR BRAVERY \
FINANCES NEEDED AS WE'LL n
PEACE CONES AS IN
WAR

Irrespective Of whether peace comes
sooner or later the drive for funds for
the War Chest to finance the work Of
the United War Work Activities, will
he pushed energetically.
It is pointed out that even though
war should soon come to a close that
the length of time in getting the boys
back home and the subsequent change
from war activities, as well as the help
that is to be given to people Of our al
lies, calls for generous treatment to-
ward the financing of the fund.
The drive is to be November IL, and
you are expected to go to your voting
booth and subscribe an amount Of five
per cent Of your Liberty Loan purchase.
Should the people not meet their allot-
ments a systematical campaign will be
made to reach them later.
Chairman E. J. Richie is busy with
his lieutenants in arranging all mat
ters incident to the drive.
