A Brass Bed :.
for Permanent Service

4 BRASS bed is appropriate for use with
"A any kind of furniture. In fact, brass
bed looks better with many designs of bed
room suites than wood bed does. We know
that brass beds are popular because of the
number of requests we have to substitute
brass bed for the one that regularly comes
with many suites of furniture. A brass bed,
too, lasts practically lifetime, especially
when it is as massive and rigid as those
which we offer tomorrow at $28.75. ..am.a

charge of the litigation to prevent

ITO be able to offer brass beds like these at
l. such low price is distinct achieve
ment. During the past ten months the whole
sale price of brass beds has practically
doubled. However, in spite of the scarcity
and increase in prices, by taking the entire
surplus stock of one of the leading bed man
ufacturers of the country, we were able to
secure price so low that the present sale
price of $28.75 is almost exactly what these
beds would cost us were we to buy them to-
day. just to satisfy yourself on this point,
compare these beds with any brass bed sell
ing elsewhere from $3.50 to $4,000.

MORE MEMBERS
in LEGISLATURE
Thompson Has Two With Less
Than 5000 Population

When the Legislature Of 1921 con-
venes, several towns in Connecticut
which now have only one representa-
tive in the house. Will be allowed
two, unless there is serious shrink
age Of population in many towns
Officials of these towns have already
figured on two representatives in the
next session, on the ground that they
are clearly entitled TO them, and that
the federal census. to be taken in
1920, will sustain their contention.
According to an amendment to the
constitution adopted in October,
1876, each town of 5000 population,
or more, is entitled TO two representa-
tives, and there are several places
that only have one representative be-
cause the census of 1910 put them
under that figure They say now
however, that they have passed the
5000 mark There are other towns,
also, that are under the 5000 mark
who have two representatives but
they had them at the time of the
amendment to the constitution. and
were allowed to keep them. One of
these towns is Thompson, which at
the last census had population of
only 4,so4 II had dropped to that
figure in 1910, the last census year,
from 6,442 in 1900.

u. S. FABRIC TIRES STILL GREAT
FAvORITES

The~advent of cord construction in
automobile tires has made possible
the manufacture OF tires which give
astounding mileages, yet there are
many automobile owners who have
found so great degree Of satisfac-
ton in some favori<e brand Of fabric
tire, that they are loath to change to
the new type.
The United States Tire Company
reports sales of its fabric brands that
show these times are continually gain
ing in favor among motorists who
want good tires at moderate initial
cost.
President J. Newton Gum of the
United States Tire Company has re
ceived this letter from a New Haven
merchant, telling why he remains firm
in his allegiance to the "chain" tread;
Il think 2o,346 miles up to date is
a remarkable record for three out of
a set of FIVE of your 35x4 y chain
tread tires They are still on my sew

dition. and the car is used every day.
The full set of five tires was put
on my new car the first week in March
1915. The first of the set went out
of commission April 2, 1918, after
running 16.103 miles. The second
blew out beyond repair the month fol
lowing, but the remaining three havt
been running ever since. have had
few punctures or blowouts, owing to
the elasticity and durability of the
tires

DISCOUNTS THE VALUE OF
PROHIBITION

In the July number of The Open
Court appeared a carefully written ar
tiele by Mr. Huizinga of Thompson
on 1.-The Ethics of Prohibition. At
ter a short review of the legal phases
of prohibition, in which he quotes
with approval the Connecticut report,
he proceeds to discuss the ethics of
prohibition in general with regard to
education, morality and religion. He
believes that by prohibition measures
no real progress can be made. All

ligion must start with the individual,

HAS PETRlFIED WOOD
Judge L. H. Fuller Exhibits Curio
Picked Up BY His Son In
Arizona

Judge L. H. Fuller has been show
ing to his friends in this city beau
tifully marked piece of petrifed
wood picked up by his son Maurice in
the petrified forest of Arizona At
tention was called to the relic of past
ages by the picture in recent issue
of a Sunday newspaper showing
part of the forest.
That picture seems natural" said
the younger Mr. Fuller to his father.
"Have you seen the forest?" was
asked.
Il certainly have was the reply,
and out of a pile of other curios, the
piece of wood was brought forth.
The younger Mr. Fuller visited the
forest on his way from California to
New Mexico. The trip was made in
four days cover a distance of 1850
miles and OVER road that the driver
had not seen before. On the trip, Mr.
Fuller says, he was accosted by a
tramp who essayed to ride in the
automobile. He hailed the machine
and explained to Mr. Fuller that he
was about to ride with him.
Suppose / object" said Mr. Fuller
There won't be no objections, !"
was the reply, ''I'm goin' to ride any
way"

well. what do you know about this?"
and Mr. Fuller, with the dexterity
born of practice, whipped a practical
looking revolver from his pocket and
into the tramps' face.
The tramp knew the business end
of the weapon was all in his direction
and his hands went upwards auto
matically.
"Now just keep your hands in that
position" ordered Mr.. Fuller, turn
with your back towards me and just
keep going till tell you to stop"
When the tramp was at a sufficient
distance, his hands still raised, Mr.
Fuller started his machine and he Of
ten wonders since if the tramp is still
stepping at the rate of 100 to the
minue with his hands toward heaven.
He must have nearly reached the sea
by this time.
Mr. Fuller applied for a commits
sion at the opening of Americas part
in the war, but although he success
fully passed the examination for mil
itary qualifications, an eye defect
prevented him from obtaining it. He
then applied in the Canadian army
and would have accepted but when he
found it would be necessary to re-
nounce allegiance to the United
States and become a British subject
he refused to go further With the
idea of doing all he could to help and
finding himself rejected for army SER
vice he took up Y. M. C. A. work and
served as a secretary.
After the signing of the armistice
he and his wife came to Putnam and
are living on South Main street.
Judge Fuller has also visited the
petrifed forest, but it was pleasant
for him to show the curio to his
friends here.
