JUDGE AWARDS
TREBLE DAMAGE

In a decision handed down today,
Judge Franklin J. Cole in Superior
court awarded treble damages to the
plaintiff in the civil suit of Hazel
Theisen against Joe Romero, an ac-
tion over the lease of an eighty-acre
ranch north of Holtville. The ward
totaled $3.50.
The court took the position that
the illegal possession of the land,
claimed by the plaintiff, prevented the
planting of winter. crop, and thus
the originator of the action was en-
titled to an amount equal to the value
of the crop. Attorney E. r. Simon
represented the plaintiff and Attor-

WINDHAM COUNTY
 SETS PACE
Exceeds Expectations In Pill
 grim Memorial Fund Effort
Substantially Every Congregational
 Church Exceeds Its Quota

Windham county, in the enthusias- 1 tic opinion of the Connecticut com mission. has set wonderful pace for the rest of Connecticut in the Pilgrim Memorial Fund effort. It has, says Director Beard. more than exceeded even his sanguine expectations. The intensive work among the people of the churches which heard the appeal on September i4 and 2l is now over seven-eighths completed, though the returns are far from being all in Substantially every Congregational church in the county has exceeded its quota, and not one has failed of fair promise to do so. Some have dou- bled and tripled 1t, or more. A coun- ty of scattered parishes and small churches has shown some remarkable instances of resource and earnestness.
 Abingdon led of, passing its quota early in the canvass. Before the end of last week, 1t had oversubscribed its quota by 50 per cent, and there was much yet to come in. Dayville made one of the best records of all, raising $50 per cent of its quota. Windham made sensation by going past it's large quota at full speed, aid ed materially by check of $ 900 from the Hon Guilford Smith Its Christian Endeavor society added S25 more.
 Mansfield Center was given one of the larger quotas, but had more than double it, at last accounts, and was still going. The First church in Woodstock passed Its quota before the people left the church, and sub stantial sums were added later Hamp- ton, with a small church, tripled it's quota.
 Perhaps the most noticeable in stance was that of struggling church of only 20 members, whose pastor was so discouraged that we saw no use of attempting canvass there. Two hundred dollars was assigned to it as a quota. Long before the end of the first week it had raised s30s The close of the canvass may show even more remarkable instances than these.
 In Holland county the campaign is now we'll started The preliminary conference at Rockville on September 16 was we'll attended, and the dinner at the Union Congregational church of Rockville on September 23, at which Secretary Swartz of New York and Dean Beard spoke, was very successful affair
 The Fund appeal will be presented in all the Congregational churches of the county on Sunday, September 2s

II you ever have to remind a man OF

that your existence is OF no Importance

contrary,
Secondly, observe the mans manner

whether 1t Is tender and affectionate,

all that sort Of confectionery stuff
That doesn't amount to a row Of pins.
Every man will kiss a pretty girl and
hold a nice, squeezable hand II he can,
But note II the man thinks Of your
pleasure before his own; whether no
is willing to sacrifice himself to you or
not; whether he tries to protect you
from every hardship that he can,
whether he really admirers you or thinks
you a slave to wait on him or a doll
to play with.
II a man the attitude of an
oracle and lays down the law to you
on every subject under the SUM-; II he
seldom takes you out to any place OF
amusement because he would rather
spend the evening m~onologuing than
IN any other diversion, and II when he
does take you out. he always takes you
where he want to go instead OF where
you want to go; II he makes you do
most OF the counting yourself and run

flattered TO death at the prospect OF

A young girl OF IS asks me how she
can ten whether a. young man Is In
love with her or not. (
Alas, this is a question that human
wisdom has never been able to an
swer. A mans love is something that
a has to take on faith. and
faith has been defined as believing a
thing that You know isn't true.
For the most part a woman has to
take a mans word for 1t that he Is in
love with her, but she can back up his
VOWS by a few facts, so / would ad-
wise the girl who Is trying to determine
whether a man Is in love with her or
not to pay particular attention to the
following points:
First, take note OF his attitude to-
ward you in his absences. Put no
stress on a mans coming TO see you
five or six times q week when he IL
neal you. He may do that because he
want a comfortable place to pass his
evenings: because your mother Is a
good cook. or because he Is bored or
lonesome. or doesn't know how else TO
spend his time. II may mean anything
or nothing, but when he Ia away from
you It is a different story.
Then II he writes to you, II he sends
you kilograms, II he remembers the
little things that you like and are in
terested In, It is because he really
cares for you and carries your image
with him in his thoughts all the time
Never believe a man loves you who
waits for you to write first, or who
doesn't answer your letters. Men
never, never get pen paralysis until
they have ceased to care for a woman,
Nor does a man ever forget that Christi
