 At the school the followers, ot foot ball and the rOoters for the homo team are legion and intensely loyal. They feel the success of the team to d great extent, quite naturally. But among the older people ot the city there is growing a great enthusiasm for the boys, that is sadly lacking in seasons when it is found impossible to build up a strong squad. The play CTS are turning out with the will to do and there will be little that will stop merly of the High School and also of Yale college, who has consldera blc brilliant football history behind him, is acting as coach and his players are responding very favorably.
 Upon November New Britain s big game will be held, the contest which must be won against all costs. Upon that date Hartford High School will play here and the team will sec the fruition or the loss of it's efforts. Needless to say, every alumnus of the school and every New Britain-reared individual of the city is witnessing the present record of the team and hoping that tho spirit and the work will con- tinue until the old rivals meet for the final contest. Go get 'em, boys, eat 'em up. We are all behind you and congratulate you upon the good show ing that you have already made.

HAD HER ON STRING
Clerk Forgot to Break String On Parcel and Young Woman Did No, Know Difference

A. young lady drifted into a Main street shoe store Saturday evening to buy a pair of shoes and after being fitted she started on her way up Main street. A minute later one of the clerks went to the paper counter to wrap up pair of shoes for d GUS toner when he noticed that the string was mysteriouSly disappearing out the door at a steady gait Unable to account for it he grabbed the cord to stop it's course, but it continued on just the same. Running out doors the clerk saw the young lady round ing the corner of West Main street with the string trailing behind her. Passersby realizing that fun was brewing made a lane for the string to See how far it would go before the young woman would be aware of it. The clerk made mad dash up Main street to intercept the young woman and stop the runaway string. With profuse apologies he stopped her and informed her that she was gettinS moro than her share of string for the shoes she just bought. When she brought the bundle from beneath her arm the clerk discovered that he had neglected to break the cord after ty- ing the bundle. With a sheepish grin he started back for the store winding up the string like grandmother used to do with her yarn.

LOOKS AS THOUGH
 ONTARIO GOES DRY
Incomplete Returns From Canada In- dicatc Overwhelming Ma jOrity
 for Prohibition.

Toronto. oct. 21.-Incomplete re- turns from yesterdays election in which Sir William Hearst, premier of the province, and the conservative government have been sWamped in dcate that Ontario has gone "dry' by an overwhelming majority.
 Throughout the province, especially in the rural districts the prohibition wave has rolled high. The voting was 8 to 1 in favor of it in some districts.
 The defeat of the Hearst conser- vative government according to the Mail and Empire, conservative or gan, was due mainly to the big vote polled by the united farmers and la Dor candidate. who took AZ and 2 seats, respectively. The liberals, de- spite their win of seats in Toronto will stand apparently as they were before tho the last legislature.
 The largest single party in the new house will be the farme CTS. By alliance with either of the old parties and the labor party it should command a good working majority.

Gary's stand for the "open shop dS falr to ShlpWreck the industrial Pnterence now going on in Washing pn and 1t appears as if there will be Itle galn from it to the public, which the great reason for it's calling. |Rbor, on the other side, is just as lsistent for what Samuel Gompers PnslderS are it's riGhts--and there we |aVe it. The public has still to be |ound between the millstones of the Erpetual capital labor strife.
 When all is said and done there nothing new in the situation as it Eesents itself.

We are told that workers lganizations were in vogue at the Ine of the building of pyramids no he actually knows how many years go. The slaves of that time reVOlted EainSt their kingly employers and sere slaughtered by the wholesale. RIe' history of industry is written Trough with strikes and demands for y ore of the returns from the fruit the work of the laboring man.
 As long as there is d demand for ! zbor, so long will there be attempts frame organizations of the work Is. when the demand falls off man 6ll be glad 10 work at any price Nd in any place to keep his family Nd himself from starvation. It is &,itten that this shall be, we cannot medy it. It is as natural for the #brkman at tae bench to wish to get # of this worlds goods that he can I it is for the capitalist to wish the < me thing. When labor overreaches #elf in it's demands, labor and cap #ll alike fall by the Wayside and #comc useless to each other.

Paris June 19.-M. Clemenceau, as president of the peace conference, has sent the following letter to Count von BrockdOrff- Rantzau, president of the German delegation, regretting the re- cent demonstration against German delegates at Versailles:
 MT. President: 1 have been in formed that at the time of the de- parture from Versailles of the Ger man delegation last (Monday) night a crowd gathered at the doors of your residence, and that some noisy incidents followed. I hasten to eX- press to you my full regrets for acts which are so contrary to the laws of hospitality. These manifestation could only have happened because of the absence of certain number of police officials who had been called away on duty in the neighborhood of Versailles.
 ''The prefect of the Seine and Disc department will offer an apology to Herr von Haniel and will be relieved from office, as well as the police commissioner, for not having taken appropriate measures, which had hcen ordered.
