LOCATED LOST CANDY
 IN CITY ASH WAGON

Twenty-fiv dollars worth of fresh candy that had been purchased here early Friday afternoon by a Greek who runs a store in New London was rescued just in time from a trip to the city dump and restored to it's own rthrough the prompt work of Officer Barney Keenan.
 The candy buyer bought his goods early in the afternoon and trustfully left the good sized package on the curb on Franklin square. next to the no parking" sign near the corner of Ferry street. Not wishing to carry the package while he went to a place cn Water street to pay bill. he asked the woman clerk in the store in front of which his package was standing to keep an eye on it. She readily agreed to do so and he went on his errand.
 When he returned the package was gone from the curb and the woman clerk could shed no light on what had become of it for she had been too busy to keep watch.
 An appeal to the police followed and Officer keenan was told to see what he could do to find the valuable lot of missing candy. The trail was fruit less until he located a young man in
  where the package had been left. He thought he had seen two men come along, pick up the package and toss il onto a wagon.
 What kind of a wagon" was Keenans next question.
 'I don't know, but it had sides or it, was the answer.
 Aha, the ash wagon" said the off cer to himself, and started out to To- cate it. Inquiry at the city barn gave no information as to where the asf wagon might be: and the officer re- turned to Franklin square, ponderins what to do next As he stood there what should heave into sight but tht wanted ash wagon. on it's way to the dump, with the lost package of can dy unharmed.
 The men on the wagon had no ides of the value of the package which they were about to cast away and were much surprised when Officer Keena1 rescued it and handed it over to thu grateful Greek who took the next trol lev for New London.

SALOON KEEPERS AWAIT ADVICE


 Norwich saloon keepers, it was learned Friday night, are awaiting with great expectancy some word that may be received from the state liquor dealers association having bearing on whether they will be able to open their places of business on the morn ing of July 1st or whether the en- forcement of war time prohibition would oblige them to keep their doors shut.
 One well known dealer was report ed to have been making offers to bet 30 l that his pace would he open on next Tuesday morning, while one prominent man connected with whole sale interests in the city can see nothing but an absolute embargo on business and no prospects of it's con- | tinuance under any circumstances Mart- of them are banking on the expectation that as soon as the six | natures have been affixed to the peace treaty, President Wilson will declare l the wartime prohibition tlw of nc effect since peace has come and the war is over. Some are willing to ad- init that possibly there may be g | short period during which they may be obliged to keep closed while tn, legal steps are being taken to test tn, constitutionality of the prohibitory law, but feel confident that the su. preme court will never declare the law

cCLL-TlN sCHES SOLDIER
 WHEN LETTERS DID NOT

Corporal Whitney M. Vergason. who has been in the American army in the salvage department of the aviation corps, surprised his relatives in this city and his parents, MT and Mrs. Dan iel B. Vergason of North Stonington, by arriving at their home Wednesday evening, the first that they had heard from him since last April. Letters that had been written to him had been re- turned and they feared that some thing must have happened to him as they were unable to get any track of where he might be.
 He, too. had been cut off from them for the last letter he received was in the latter part of April. He has been all over France doing repair work o1i airplanes in the year that he has been overseas. At the close of his ser vice he was put into a casual com pany to facilitate his return home and about ten days ago, as he was strap ping his baggage to hls motorcycle. he was handed a package of Norwich Bulletins, papers with an April date on them. From them he had for the first time the sad intelligence that his wife, Margaret Combies. had died on April 20. The Bulletin was sent to Corporal Tergason regularly while he was in the army

BATTERY REPAIR MEN MAY STRIKE TO DEMAND LONGER HOURS AND MORE WORK

A few seasons ago auto owners were not wise to the different construction of storage batteries and regular repairs were regarded as an expensive but necessary evil.
 Those were the days when battery men reaped a golden harvest, especial ly in the Spring after cars had been idle during Winter months and the deadly suiphatins had parayzed the battery plates.
 This ruinous sulphating causes 90 per cent of all battery troubles, such as plat buckIins," floss of power,' lover heating," etc, so imagine the feelings of battery men when a bat tery, to fit all cars, appeared that was positively free from this suIphatins. Besides the covered, connecting straps are protected against corrosion and short circuitine, the locked grids pre- vent shedding of active material. These and many other exclusive features of this battery make it absolutely trouble proof.
 1 This battery is built at the Eveready factories at Long Island City, re- presented in Norwich by the National : Battery Service, Marguerite Building, and as the Eveready battery is the only battery guaranteed for IS months against further expense, and cost no more than ordinary batteries, motor ists have been steadily replacing their worn out batteries with Eveready, this becoming indepnedent of repair men.
 And the repair men see the hand writing on the wal-"When all motor
 ists US Eveready bstteries, thereII be
 no more work for repair men,"
