Bank Deposits
Increasing

Dome time ago when l first started In the
lumber business the first month that l de-
posted as much as $500 advertised the
amount of business had done just to let the
public know was actually making sales. A
few days ago one of my regular patrons was
IN and saw another patron give me check
for 2,4OO for bill of material, and just
this week the same party was in again and
saw another party pay $4,000 check. This
same friend and patron reminded me of hav-
ing published my bank deposits before and
remarked that he would bet the cigars that
would not publish my bank deposits now
told him would the first week broke all
records and here is where call the bet, as
enjoy good cigar.
Monday, Nov. 10, deposited $3,084.95
Tuesday, Nov. IL, deposited. =. 1,361.42
Thursday, Nov. Is, deposited - 5,0O4.32
Saturday, Nov. Is, deposited - 3,3O9.97
:, Total for one week $12, 1906
These figures prove to you that right
prices on all grades of material and the best
delivery service it is possible to give makes
big lumber yards out of little ones, espe-
cially when it is in the best country, where
the best people In the world have chosen to
live.
There are some comical things happen
in the making of the largest lumber yard in
state. When published my record of sales
before, | was called on few days later by
numbers of statesmen for automobiles,
trucks, typewriters, adding machines, desks
and many other nice things that go to take
the profit from business. | am glad all
these statesmen called, and they are invited
to call again. Some day will fit up fine
office, but at present it is just comfortable
home-lil<e office, common but clean, where
you can figure and feel at home, and if you
happen to mark on the table or desk you
won't be frowned at nor the varnish won't
scratch loose and fly in your eyes. The
table is just made of plain boards and COW
cred with piece of wall board like sell so
much of. Thousands of dollars have passed
over it from hundreds of satisfied customers.
don't know why people are SO well pleased
and such little trouble to make sales to them
unless it is because we have everything so
conveniently arranged. One can see their
and can step right in the yard with so little
trouble to inspect the lumber that only lit
tie time is required to have everything ar
ranged for you.
Home building and improvements on
your place are always the best investment ii
is possible to make You can build home
large or small, live in it long time and then
sell it at profit. 1t is HOME. Is there any
other merchandise you can use year or
more and realize over one-half on it?

'A GOOD WAY TO BEAT
 HIGH COST OF LIVING
CouuciI oi National Defense Has lSSu. ed H. (. l.. Remedy.
 Produce More.

Little Rock, Nov Special)-The coune;l ot National Defense has issu- ed statement concerning the high cost of living, which is being distri- buted through the State Military De- pertinent. Work, save, cooperate, produce. This is the conclusion that is reach ed after a statement of the causes and the possible remedies. After a careful investigation, the Council finds:
 That the nations productive powers have not been fully utilized since the armistice;
 That too few goods, notably the ne- cessities of life, have been produced, and that even some of these goods have been withheld from the market, and therefore from the people.
 That the high cost of living is due in part to unavoidable war waste and increase of money and credit.
 IHd1 lNef9 nttS Deeu dt'l lS NoAiSiu- erable prodtaering intentional and un- intentional
 The Council believes that the remedy fer e itua5ioa are:
 To g=aiuee mere goods and to pro duce lhen ill proportion to the needs of tGe faot4e-
 To stamp out prodtaerias and stop unnecessary E0ariing.
 To enforce vigorously present laws and promptly to enact such further laws as are necessary to prevent and punish profiteering and needless hoardiag.
 To bring about better cooperation and method in distributing and mar keting goods.
 To keep both producer and consum- CT fGlly informed as to what goods are neea q and as to what supplies are available.

FATALLY INJURED AT
 OLD UNCAS BANK RIIli nlNG

N lllldm DeNito. a resident of this city for over thirty five years and e1n- ployed by contractors here was fatal ly injured about o'clock on Thurs day morning when a safe in the old Uncas bank building fell on him as he was helping remove some of the bricks around it and died in the Backus hos pital about seven o'clock Thursday ev- ening. .-.1.
 Mir. DeVito, it is claimed by Telley E. Babcock. was told on Wednesday that he was not needed to help with the work any longer. but unknown to MT. Babcock he was at work OH Thursday. Contractor Bromley was do- ing the work and DeVito was engaged in removing brick from the casing around the safe when a jack which was holding it up slipped and fell. De-
 Vito jumped to one side but the safe which weighs about five tons caught him on the right leg, fracturing the thigh in two places and inflicting oth- CT injuries about his body from which he died about o'clock in the evening. The family of MT. DeVito on Thurs day evening stated that they supposed that MT. DeVito was employed at the building and on Thursday morning went to his work as usual After the accident pr. Patrick Cassidy attended the man and called for the ambulance and he was taken to t11e Backus hos pital.
 Mir .DeNito was born in Italy about fifty five years ago and came to this country when sixteen years of age. He located ill Westerly for a time, coming | to Norwich some time after and has
 resided here for about 35 years. Sev- enteen years ago he was united in 1 marriage in Westerly with Christina ] Chopone. who with one son Peter survives him. Mir. DeVito has been employed by Archibald Torrance and 1 the Peck -McWilliams Company at various times and by other contractors 1 in the city. He was a member of the | Laborers' Union and a devoted mem
 Der of St. Patrick's church.
 He was prominent among the Ital- i ian population of the city and was re-
 spected and highly thought of. He was
 faithful and industrious worker, al- ways giving satisfaction to those who employed him. His widow and son have the deepest sympathy of a large
 circle of friends in their sudden be-
 reavement.

CHAPLAIN OF 26TH AT LENTEN SERVICE


 church needs today. But as Joffre said When a unit cannot advance. it must at all cost hold the ground gained If we have reached a point where we cannot go ahead, we must at least not go7 backward. The church needs more and better clergy. We see this need but we don't pray. for them but are only half hearted. Ludendorff's of ficers were mere automations, perfect ly drilled but not like Foch's officers wlfo went farther than the drilling and said, You've got to think We have to think in the church.
 There has been a decrease in the Sunday school which makes me think of the little girl of twelve I met in France. was returning from hospital and in passing through shell torn village 1 met a twelve year old girl going along a road. I said to her When did you get back?" She said she had never been away, but had re- | mained there for two years under. ter rifle shel fire. Each day when she went to the church which had been battered down and placed flowers on the ruined altar and prayed. This is 1 the spirit we need in the church to- 1 day. We don't want to leave the Sun- l day school as soon as things are ad- verse .
 
 ing a pass and wave after wave of Germans came on but they stuck un- ] til endorsements arrived. The re- | lnforcementS were one man, General l Petain. He never made one mistake and. his personality won the day By this example we should all trye to be a personality in the church to turn the l tide of victory. ''''-''
 l The. saving power of Christ is the | fundamental principle that the church should work on and this saving pow CT is best illustrated by letter from a French priest to the great American commanding the 26th. division Your gallant 18th American division has just set us free. I who remain al
 my listening post speak for the people of France when I say that your sol diers will always be lonored and wor- shipped by us. Several of your gallant soldiers lie buried here on Fernch an6 Christian soil and they will be cared for by the people they set free Allow me to congratulate you and say Goo bless the 26th Division.

CAPE COD BUMPS
 DOCK IN STARTING AWAY

The steamer Cape Cod, run by the Whitehall Transports ton Co, got away from here on her first trip for New York Thursday evening about 6.3O, but In doing so had the misfor- tune to back into the New Haven rail- road dock, smashing in about four feet of the. heavy guard rail directly at the nothing serious and the boat proceeded on her trip.
 From the shore it loked as if the accident was caused by slow responses from the. engine room.
 As the boat was backing away from the Morgan dock to swing out and head down stream, Capt. Martin Col berg stood on the quarterdeck, giving the bell signals to the engine room
 The boat slowly neared the New Ha- ven dock, stern first. He gave the sig nal to stop and the propeller was still
 Then he gave two bells to go ahead,
 but the propellor did not move. In a
 moment he realized the danger and
 turned and shouted to the mate in the
 pilot house full speed" A deckhand sRnding near him also rushed to the pilot house. and the mate gave the jim gle bell for full speed ahead. The pro pellor at once began to revolve, but the boat did not gather headway fast enough to save the crash. Luckily she hacked squarely into a spiie in the dock and the guard rail on the boat took the full force of the blow, so that the steering gear and propeller were not damaged.
 The boat had a good sized cargo of freight for its first trip. The first piece l of boxed goods taken aboard was an envelope machine for South America i from the Lester 6s WasIey Co. and the last freight put on was eleven big bales from the Winchester Woolen

| The speaker at the United Lenten services of St. Andrews Trinity and Christ Episcopal churches held Thurs day evening in Trinity church was Right Rev. Thomas #. Davies, DID,, a former rector of Christ church and now bishop of Western Massachusetts. He has recently. returned from France where he served with the famous New England Yankee Division as. chaplain. After the lessons by Rev. R. R. Ora ham and prayer by Rev. William Smith, Bishop Davies told of some of his experiences in France and the les sons taught by the war which might be. applied to the present day church. Bishop Davies said in part: My dear friends, 1t gives me the greatest of pleasure to meet you once again and instead of preaching a sermon I am going to relate some of the experiences over there with the faomus 18th divis- ion and contrast them with the church of today.
 On my way over from France I was with three officers and at dinner one said This has been a good war There has been lots of excitement, a chance for promotion and everything has been; fine, wish 1t would go on forever" This remark shocked me, but 1t set me thinking. The more thought of it the more I saw that the war might have distinct meaning for the church here in America. To bring out my point 1 must tell some of my experiences.
 After a weeks training in Paris ir the use of gas masks and other equip ment I was assigned to the 18th Di- vision. We went up the valley of the Marne and here I saw devastated France, the ground full of shell holes wrecked airplanes, prisoners ant
 peasants already trying to reclaim tn.
