JEWETT CITY

The piece of the N. r., N. Fl. 6 H. railroad that runs through Jewett City has been kept hot for the past two days. People within sound of the lo- comotive whistle rushed to the depot four different times Saturday and as many Sunday to see the big trains of empty Pullmans, bound north. Some said they were being routed to Camp DevensN to carry troops but inquiry proved they were deadhead sleepers bound for Portland, Me, to be used on the heavy western Bar Harbor ex- press traffic. Several troop trains were moved both north and south Saturday and Sunday; in all more than a dozen specials.
 A MotoFiess Sunday.
 It was hardly believeable, the great reduction in volume of the automobile traffic over the state road Sunday. On pleasant Sundays heretofore the num- Der passing through the borough has often been on the average of from 40 to SO an hour. Sunday there were only four or five an hour. Local peo- pie walked to church and many ac- customed to Sunday riding were at home. Nevertheless, the Jewett City automobile owners believe that the man who works all the week should DC eIAiOWOU 41lO0CIdIC tIfpS oudOtAys

GAR OWNERS PATRIOTIC,
 Gn CNNcERNE GASQIlNE

 Although many local people are not in favor of the way the government is trying to save gasoline by stopping pleasure riding Sundays, there were few local slackers. The streets were deserted in the automobile line, and what few cars passed through Willi- mantle were chiefly of some other state registration. The garage and gas- oifne men, for whom Sunday is the best day. had a real day of rest. Many dealers sold less than ten gallons of gas during the entire day.
 The antiquated horse was brought back into the limelight One local transportation company used a two- seated wagon to carey passengers.

Interesting Letter From Mr.. Engle.
Washington, Sept. "a 1918

washington, Sept. "a, 1918.
Editor Register-Everybody is on the
jump in this city to beat the Huns, and
our army is doing it nicely, while we
raise the money and pack away the
seven billions of bonds for money loan
ed foreign nations. The war has cost
us seventeen billions to this date. Some
of the coupons on Liberty Bonds are
coming due every month. These cou-
pons have to be counted and checked
up when sent in by the banks-twenty
millions of them September 18th, and
our bond division has increased from
25 clerks to 80, mostly young roomers.
When the war began 5000 women
clerks and 10000 men were in the de-
partmentS; now the women almost equal
the men. 1t is a glorious sight to see
these fine young people gathered from
all over the United States-the youth
and beauty of our country-on their
way to work at $50 a. m. They fill the
churches on Sunday and contribute
well. One church's collection was SIS
over its budget weekly.
The War Department appoints fine
singers to lead hte soldiers in singing
war songs and keep of inconsistencies
in every camp. Some $500 clerks and
soldiers meet in the Central High School
auditorium Sundays at $50 and sing.
The new dormitories for incoming
clerks at the Union Station and at 18th
and B streets are going up rapidly and
will be ready by Christmas. Five
hundred are coming in daily. Room
renters are reaping harvest, but land
lords are held at old rates by law. Not
fair.
Jamie Engle has been transferred to
Norfolk Marine Hospital Corps to in
struct a class in pharmacy. Melvin
w. Engle has been sent to officers train
ing quarters at Camp Meade. His
brother, Parke Engle, Is IL, has taken
Melvin's place at College Park Radio
Station, U. S. Signal Corps. So all of
our boys are doing their bit.
Truly yours,
James M. Engle.

THERE is good deal OF public
Indignation over the big falling-off in
production at the great Hog Island
shipyards at Philadelphia! Although
many thousands OF men are employed
at enormous wages, they are doing very
little work, and slackers Of the worst
sort seem to compose majority Of the
employees. An Official investigation is
being made-but this is probably need
less. The whole trouble may be found
with the numberless saloons that infest
that locality and which debauch the
workmen and take away their efficiency.
The Pacific coast shipyards are going
right along with their work and are
beating the world in production. The
reason lies in the quite simple fact that
the workmen there have no saloons to
tempt them, and they carry to work
bottles Of milk instead Of buckets of
beer
II the President should shut UP the
saloons in the Hog Island neighborhood
we'd be getting ships into the water
more frequently.
