Thrift stamu Sales.

Thrift stamp sales in this city dur ing the month of May took big slump as the city went over s5,eD0 below it's quota in that month
 The reason for the big drop is probably the Red Cross and Liberty loan drives. as it has been noticed in other cities besides Wiliimantic. In South Manchester. which is slightly ahead of Wii1imantic in per capita sales, the city was s14.019 below it's quota for May. which is a dropping off of about 45 per cent, while Will limantic was only 30 per cent short, so there is a possibility that Willi- mantle may lead South Manchester in per capita sales. despite the small sales. The figures in the campaign follow:
 Sold at postod1ce .....s15,1s 1856 Sold at bank ................ 2,378.59
 Total for month ...$17, ,77s.eo Previous ...... ............ as, s,4s6.9a
 Total to date .$117 ,a9s 22 Previous to May, Willimantic was "over the top" by s6.19o.22. so the city is still $539.22 above it's quota, not & large sum.

Buenos Aires, Dec. 31.-British and

Scrutiny of sailings, unloadings and
departures in the newspapers is alone
sufficient to convince anyone that the
Europeans, enabled to get a flying

Of ships, are gaining an enormous ad-
vantage.
The fact that there are practically
no sailings from America is unac-
countable to Americans here. who are
weary Of reading about speeches by
American officials regarding the great
trade future with South America.
Month after month has passed and
there have been no ships and not any,

RED CROSS
Chair1nen, Attention.

Mrs. Fred Benner, chairman of the
distributing department at Red Cross
headquarters, is asking all chairlnen
Of Red Cross circles in the city to tele-
phone her a day or two before they
hold a work meeting, and give her
the number Of garments which will be
needed for the days work. By doing
this the material can be ready to give
out at the time the chairman calls at
headquarters, and will therefore save
time. u.
Frank harrington, president Of the
Illinois Miners Union has this to say
of the work of the Red Cross:
1.-THE American Red Cross is among
the most humanitarian organization
ever created for the relief of hu-
mainly. Its emissaries of mercy are
ever present where disaster and suf-
fering are to be found.
In the present war I regard the
service rendered by the Red Cross as
being second only to the service rem
dered by the men under arms. Sure,
ly without the assistance Of the Red
Cross our boys over there could not
have rendered such a. splendid ac-
count Of themselves as they have
done.
It's affairs are efficiently and splen-
,didly managed and the Red Cross has
demonstrated by active humanitarian
work that the organization Is entitled
to the whole-hearted support Of every
right thinking person."

Jimmy Coon and His Friends
The Adventures of the Little People of
the Great Forest F.
WHAT THE MUD PIES ARE FOR.

And Father Beaver showed all his
family of children just where to make
the mud pies. They must make one
pie close to the dock, near their W
house On Mirror Pond.
The mex pie must be some dis
tance away, by the Crooked Brook.
Another mud pie must be made at
the fork Of the two paths, that lead
to the Cool Spring.
Another mud pie must be made by
the Big Hemlock on the Hill, and an
other by the Big Rock, near the path
leading to the Willow Valley.
n then mud pies must be made
along all the little paths leading to
each Beaver Village in the Great
Forest.
When the mud pies were made
Father Beaver whispered to each
member of his family: "NowI have
a great secret to tell YOU. I. got it
from my great-great Grandfather;
and it has come down thousands of
years, from the ancient Beavers. Each
n OF o take out your little bottle
OF perfumery, and drop just one drop
OF musk on each mud pie" .-,.
And Tom Beaver asked, "Why,
Father, must we waste so much Of our
nice perfumery? We want to keep

you do as I say. and I will explain
the Beavers wonderful secret of the

paper. People who walk on two legs
those strange creatures who come
into the Great Wood with guns and
traps to hunt us and the little people
OF the Wild-they have newspapers
to tell them all the news of the great
world. - -
Now we Beavers, too, must have
the news, and the Mud Pies will tell
US the news Of the Great Forest"
And all the Beaver children asked
at once, Father, how can mud pies
tell us the news?"
You see it is like this" answered

neglect and indifference Of the home
government toward them.
Virulent German propaganda is
continuing despite the armistice. Two
newspapers are especially scurrilous
in poisoning the minds of the people
against the United States and the AL
lies. While the United States has no
organ through which to answer these
attacks, Great Britain. France and
Italy have. But they are not altruistic
and it is a case of each man for him
self.
A leading article in one Of the Ger
man newspapers was headed France

houses. insinuating hat the United
States Us grinding France under its
heel, industrially and economically.
and that France is forced to submit
because Of it's great moral and ma
terial obligations to the Invaders"
The article quotes that "enemie5 are
not always the most dangerous"
German traders at the same time
are becoming holder and are work
ing their hardest to re-establish a
prewar industrial standing, promising
a flow Of goods to Argentina as soon
as the blockade is lifted and Ger

smell of the mud pies and Musk, and
he will say, Why I know hat Tom
Beaver has travelled this path today.
I know his kind Of perfumery. It is
fresh, and he has been here today.
And I see the marks of his hands on

And all the Beaver children won

And Father Beaver added, when
You travel, and see a Mud Pie, you
say, Why, that is Uncle Toms musk

He may be near, and perhaps I can
