The Street Car Line

Is only a little more than a half mile away. No one can complain
of walking this short distance. Up to very recently a very large
number of Hammonds city population walked further than this
to the car line. This land lays directly in the path of Hammonds
great development. And, the children can walk to school only
six blocks away. And, you remember the time when we were
kids, we walked a mile or more to school, and the only extra
equipment we needed was a pair of copper toed, hob nailed boots.
And we all felt better after that hike home, after being cooped

Have that back to the farm longing, and the only way we can
get it out of our system, is to buy that garden site right now.
We all want more elbow room. A place where one can spade the
soil, set out the fruit trees, plant the raspberry and blackberry
bushes;-and do you know that some of the finest strawberries
grown, are raised right near SOUTH HAMMOND ACRES?
And the soil is all high and dry, and is just the thing for raising
those great big mealy potatoes. 1t is SO rich and fertile, that the
green grass just naturally pops out of the ground.

That the choice locations in SOUTH HAMMOND ACRES,
would be picked up quick, by wise buyers, | didn't really think
they would sell so quicky-BUTT THEY ARE, and at this time

ship. This admiration on my part dates back to the period when as a magistrate l came to know intimately that fine combination of the practical and the ideal. that mingling of spirit uality and consecration with industry, integrity, efficiency and simplicity, characteristic of the Salvation Army.
 The members of the Army and those of us who have been intimately acquainted with it outside long ago recognized the qualities which it has displayed so conspicuously during the past two years in connection with war service at home and overseas. It is, true however, that there were millions of Americans who did not know those qualities of efficiency, frugality and de- votion which were displayed in France.
 ''The Salvation Army has millions of new friends many of them eloquent witnesses of what was done for them under the most trying conditions. It is right that this record should have it's reward when the only reward ask ed is the privilege of continuing home service on an expanded scale governed by the same ideas and sustained by the resources of the American people"
 Col Clifford says that everywhere leaders of commercial and financial life are organizing and that the new England quota of $2,280,000 will go over with a bang. When the Twenty Sixth Division arrives in Boston it will bring thirty thousand boosters for our cause' said the colonel. If you have any doubt about the Salvation Army just ask the doughboy who has come back from France. He knows"

NORWICH SCHOOL CHILDREN
 FOR NEAR EAST AID

The Norwich schools do not agree with Germany and Turkey in regard to the suffering people of the Near East These powers who are both re- sponibl6 for the destitute condition of the people in Asia Minor say Let them die of hunger and exposure"
 The absolute destruction of these small races was part of the war pro- gram of the Central Powers.
 The schools of this city have taken the matter in hand and are going to do all in their power to keep the un- fortunate beings of these small coun- tries who still remain alive from starv- ing 10 death or dying of exposure, and are giving their limit, to the end, that the war aims of Germany and Turkey may be defeated.
 Already several one dollar bills and a great deal of smaller change has been subscribed and it is thought that many of the poor orphan children, of which there are 100000, whose fathers and mothers were tortured to death by the Turks, killed in the war or died of starvation on the great Persian des- ert may be made happy again through the efforts of this fine school system.
 If others in this prosperous com munity would give as liberally to this just cause then a great many more ot the poor orphans could have another chance at life, and the deficiency o1 $4000 in the quota of $12,000 for this district would be quickly raised.
 The treasurer of the local campaign committe for relief in the Near East is N. A. Gibbs of the Thames Nationa Rank

TEACHERS WANT NO USELESS SCHOOL LAWS

At the hearing Tuesday at Hartford before the legislature committee on education, the first hearing upon three bills along educational lines that have been presented before the legislature, Miss Merchant of New Haven repre- sented the state teachers association and said that the association was op- posed to legislation on school matters that is not of real value. That is why, she said, there is opposition to the Morrison and kindred bills. The teachers believe that the representa- tives and senators should nominate a member of the board for each county, subject to the gOvrnor's approval. She did not, however, favor an increase in membership of the board, as a smaller membership would be more workable. She would have the appointees of the board have their work clearly disent- ed by the state board and ought not to have blanket authority. She favor ed Americanization, and this, too, is a matter to be handled by the state board The schools have been doing Americanization work for many years, but not by that name. The schools could not handle all this work, but CO., operate with separate state board of Americanization.
 The hearing was held on bill that provides that the state board of edu- eaton shall consist of the governor and lieutenant governor ex-officio, and nine other members, and that each county have a representative on the board. During the present session of the general assembly the governor, with the advice and consent of the senate and house shall appoint three
 members to serve until July l, 1925
 and three to serve until July l, 1927
 The terms of the three members in of- flee at the time of the passage of the
 act, and whose terms do not expire July 1, 1919, are extended to and shall
 expire on July l, 1923. Three members to hold office each for a term of sI1 years from the first day of July of the 1 year of such appointment.
 Everett E. Brown, of Pomfret, fol the state grange approved appoint ment of a member from each county and therefore favored the bill.
 Others to speak were Judge w. L | Bennett of New Haven, John L. Con-
 nell of Bridgeport, Leonard Smith O Mansfield, Miss Catherine Brennan O
