The Jungle Group to he.

There IS in preparation a great hall
OF mammals in which there will be
the spells Of many hunters of big
game. Elephants and rhinoceroses slain
by Theodore Roosevelt on his African
expedition and rare specimens collected
by the naturalist and sportsman, Carl
Akeley, are to be mounted one OF these
days in groups so realistic that they
will stand for all time as a symbol OF
the jungle life OF the dark continent.
The third floor of the museum is a
choice show place OF science because
II combines the finest skill of the taxi
dermists with the guiding influence
OF the artist. Here birds and animals
are shown before curved painted back
grounds, which give the Illusion that

like this represent almost endless care,

one could spend a whole day with

 Business

In the early eos he married Laura J. Loomis of Sheffield, Mass, Shortly afterward he moved. to West Reading, Conn.,, where he went into the lime business with his brother. After a short time he sold out and conducted a milling business for some time, returning to this town about 1870. He then entered the lime business with his brother, Sheri- dan, and his father, under the firm name of Charles Barnes and Sons Lime Co.,, situated on the Clayton road. After the death of his father the company was known as Charles Barnes Sons and was conducted by them until about 1902 when the New England Lime company purchased the plant.

CANAAN DEFEATS WIN
 STED IN CLOSE GAME
Torrington Team to Play Here on This Saturday
 Afternoon

The Canaan nine motored to Win sted on Saturday afternoon and de- feated the newly organized team of that town by the score of g to 6. The game was played on the Gilbert field and in spite of the small attendance much enthusiasm was shown during close plays by both teams.
 The local team started scoring in the first inning, when they made two runs and succeeded in getting an- other run in the second inning. Winsted then braced up and made four runs through an error and at the beginning of the ninth inning the score. was 6 to in Winsted's fav- or. Canaan settled down and with their last chance at the bat suc- ceeded in making four more runs, and then shut out their opponents, leaving the score g to 6.
 Cunningham and Scott, of Canaan, and Carroll and McMahon of Win sted were the batteries. "Jack" Cal lahan umpired the game in a manner that won the approval of both teams. Both teams played good ball and the local team is rapidly improving through practice. The work of Cunningham, Scott and Minacci is worthy of special mention. The line up was as follows:

Prohibition
No. 32

The prohibition amendment to the American Constitution reads:
 "Section |. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the ex- portation thereof from, the United States and all territory, subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited"
 Section 2. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation"
 "Section 8. This article shall be imperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several States, as provided by the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress"
 Some people think that this pro hibition amendment is a great blum der. They say that we are in for an epidemic of Bolshevism, an in crease of unemployment, an in creased burden of taxation made necessary by the loss of revenue from liquors, an aggravation of the drug evil and a contempt for law According to figurese the bone-dry amendment will wipe out 99z breweries, 233 distilleries, and 3O0,000 saloons. An Anti-Prohihi- tionist League, calling itself "The Central Federal Union of Greater New York;, consisting of member ship of 350,000, says that if thr bone-drdy amendment is really en- forced July first, they will all stop work until this law is repealed.
 They say that this law was enars- ed without the consent of the gov erned, that it will throw thousands of wage-earners out of work, and that it is an infringement on American
