| An Odd Items from Everywhere col
umn in a Boston paper contained men
| ton of hen IS years Of age, owned in
| a town in the Berkshires, that is still
| laying eggs. This looks like a real
news item until Mrs. Myrtis Blanchard
of Dayville comes forward with men
ton of hen in her flock 81 years old
and laying. The Dayville hen was jet
! black once upon a time, but is snow
| white now.
| Three days of almost incessant rain
| have raised rivers and other streams
| in this part of Windham county al
| most to spring freshet levels. This
| abundance of wattr is another con-
tribution of natures toward the con-
| servation of coal this winter, for the
| CT f11T~ jCo of
power for the big manufacturing
| plants along the QUinebaug and ASA
| waga rivers.

More or less complaint is heard
| about town over the advanced rates
| for telephone service and over the
| coming increased cost of toll line calls
to some points. The advances, how
| ever, are due to a government order
and are country wide in their effect.
Lieut.. Ira A. Warren, writing from
France to a, friend here, says that
many American troops are mOyinG
toward the coast preparatory for en-
barking for home. Lieutenant Warren
who expresses a wish that he may get
a chance to go to Germany before his
return, though he does not expect tC
be so lucky, does not state when he
expects to be home, though he may
be ordered back at any time.

Thirty coons were taken this yea
by James Kent of Elmville, who eacI
year hangs up one of the best records
of the followers Of this sport in Con
necticut While the 1918 season die
not rate as Mr. Kent's best, it wa
far ahead of any other established il
! this section of the country.
Another rumOr spread about tow
J Friday that the 56th coast artillery haC
arrived from overseas. Like man!
! other rumors of the kind, this on
proved unfounded. No announcement
| has yet been made at Washington
where statements are being given on
as to the identity of troops s2iin;
from overseas, that this regiment hai
sailed from France, though the organ
ization is on the priority list and ma!
sail at any time.
Writing from France to his father
Walter L. Dixon, Lorimer Dixon tell
of having been in Paris on the day 0
the grand fete in honor Of Presiden

aviation corps and for a considerable
period has been stationed at ROmaran
tin, one of the great American aVia
ton centers over there.

week of prayer in churches in Dan

e Howard Elliott, deputy commissions
of domestic animals, was in this sec
/, ton from Hartford Friday, looking
l for glandered horses and observing a
> to how the quarantine under WhlCl
7 the dogs must live is being enforced.
1t has been stated that there is
sentiment in favor Of extending stree
light service noTthWard from the Dor
ough line, at NORM avenue to Elm
vile, and possibly to DayVille EOu
| Corners. This stretch of fine highWa
has been very well built up during tn
past few years, and it is argued tina
street lights would further add to tn
= attraCtivenesS and growth of that sec
ton which is rapidly coming to he re
garded as a part Of DaniCtSOn. Meet
ing of the cost of such a lighting sys
| tenn is one that would have TO b
| worked out of course, but it is be
1ieved that this could be done withoU
great difficulty if the cooperation Q
Ia those who would be benefited cOul
| be obtained.
