wholly in a sedulous regard for the

LARGE COAL POCKET BUILT
BY JEWETT CITY MILL

There has been very little building il
Jewett City in the past year on az
count of war conditions.
". H. Brown has built on his prop
erty on the East Main street highlands
during the year Just past a modern
bungalow, 31x23 feet with five rooms.
1t has one Of the finest situations in
the borough, as on the east the over
look of the upper reaches Of the Ash
land reservoir is UNSURPASSED. The
work was not done by contract. the
plans were drawn by Mr.. Brown and
the process OF construction was con-
srantly under his eye. The cost of ex-
cavation, grading and building was
about $4,000
Mr.. Brown has placed in position q
number of temporary partitions, and
is carrying out one of his original pur-
poses in building, that of maintaining
an up-to -date photograph studio.
The open porch in front, with artistic
cobblestone underpinning is a notable
point Of its beauty.
Vim. Z. Slater Mills, Inc, have in
stalled a storage coal pocket adjacent
to the n. Y, y. II. 6 Hartford R. r.
track. It is on a trestle Is feet high and
$50 feet long. Coal is taken from the
hopper OF the coal car ana SnoolS down
an opening under the trestle to buckets
which take it up % feet and drop it
into q conveyor belt. 1t distributes the
coal in any place on the $50 it. trestle.
It will store 5000 tons of coal. This
conveyor will facilitate the handling
of coal and can unload a car of 50
tons in about 80 minutes. It is run
! by electricity. 1t is completed, but
waiting for the machinery to be in :
| stalled.
Edward Rousseau has had his good
sized two tenement house on

| ings, enough to make perhaps a hun
bred loaYes of bread.
The same general thought applies to
all branches OF farm work. AS near
as I can make out, farming consists
of about half hard labor and half
''puttering,' And the ''puttering" often
counts for more than the hard work.
Yet it seems strangely difficult to
make Il whole lot of farmers see it.
Uncle Ike used to say that he could
make more money by taking a day off,
| occasionally, to sit on the tense and
white, than he could by working
! like Satan every day and all day.
! He was speaking figuratively, of
course. What he meant was explain
| ed BY what he did. This was to take
a DAY or half day. at intervals, and
! leisurelE, calmly and quite at his ease
think things over and make plans.
| The rest of the day he took in clean
! ing up odd jobs" so that they couldn't
! distract him when engaged in harder
work
The idea was to keep the loose ends
! gathered up by attending to the little
things which, but for this fore
! thought and foreaction, might cause
| future annoyance or loss.
Especially in these days of high
prices for al supplies, it is essential
that the small leaks about the farm
be stopped UP. 1t is not only true that
cents make dollars and that little
drops OF water make the mighty
ocean, it is just as true that little
leaks combine to cause big wastes.
! Fallen Into a Farm Of Slavery.
A recent issue of The Rural Nets
Yorker noted, editorially, that "There
are some farm women in this country
who decline to be robbed by the
i wooden yarn gamblers. They have
gone back to the old fashioned spin
ming wheel. and make their own yarn.
1t says it knows of a number of FAM
