 Because of the effects of the in | liuenza epidemic the Lenten regu,a- tions will be very mild for this year, 1 as compared to rules of the past. At | St. James church Sunday the regula- tons for the Lenten season were read at all of the masses.

 Sunday the auto-punper was taken out for some trial tests and to get some comparative data that will be used by Chief A. P Woodward to show the efficiency of the new machine. Progressive Wsuregsn comes to tho front with the announcement that a piece of modern fire apparatus-an auto chemical--is to be added to the equipment of the Atwood Hose com lj1uy. ] lie iudCDIHe IdS SPeu SGrNlcS in another Connecticut town, but is iu good condition.

 Rev. William S. Beard of New York, | very well known in Killingly. is to l be the speaker this evening at . rally i for young women at the Congrega- tional church.

 ! Henri I. saer, owner os the Palis- 1 ade kennels at East Killingly. where hundreds of police dogs are reared, Is | to spend much ct his time in New York hereafter, as he is arranging to | open a sales department there.

 Further investigation as to inc pos 1 slbIiitv that Merrill C. Smith of the West Side was not killed in action. as officially reported by the government to his mother. Mrs. J. Herbert Smith, has not brought the desired favorable news. It is now generally taken for granted that he brayely sacrificed his life for his country. It appears that he became ill spent some time in hospital, recovered and returned to his regiment eventually to make the supreme sacrifice.
 The underwriters workout of the new auto-pumper this afternoon will be witnessed by a large number. it is expected. The bumper will be put through more severe tests than it is ever likely to be called upon tC meet in fighting q fire here unless some cCnfiagratio worse than Danielson oi it's vicinity has experienced in a great many years occurs. The test will re- quire about three hours. During two hours of this time the machine will Ee run at normal pressure. Later at an increased pressure and still later at very high pressure. The tests will be witnessed by members of the bor- ough government.
 At least two Brooklyn farmers are to open the 1919 season with 7 revival of sheep growing in the nearby town. Oliver F. Downs one of the best known of the towns farmers, and [ hobert Cooper, another successful far r1er, resident on what is known aS the
 old Sweet place, have each acquired q |. flccll of sheep. Mir. Cooper's flock cf 42 was the frst to arrive and it is made up of splendid animals, many o1 2 t9em thoroughbred Shropshices, ship l l I ed in Huntington, L. l. Nr. Downs l has added q flock of 62 grade Shrop- I shires, purclaSed at Darien, Conn.,. tc g a little flock Of five that already was r On his fine farm
 Discussing sheep raising, Nr. Downs
 said on Sunday: T BciieTG tnG- the ] sheep will he uVle profitable m in . VCstnlent that rows under labor cordi-
 tons that ire ialner has "a contend
 with at -he 1 resent time. cal han de them better alone and the market - prospect for the wool and meat seems good
 Asked how he was going to manage to keep dogs from interfering Witl
 his flock. ALr. Downs said: Il am gc.
 ing to fence my pastures and an going to shoot any dog that I fnC !, botherinG about the herd. If there i! '' any controversy over shooting tho
 dogs, we'll have to fight it out in tn,
 courts, but l believe that the governor
 will back an effort by the farmers tt protect fiocks of sheep
 r The investment of Messrs. Downs d and Cooper in fiocks of sheep anC
 
 ,. in Windham county will be watched | with very special interest by many Il even those who do not live on farms
 l. has been urged for a long time tha co sheep raising can be prohtably engage
 ia in eastern Windham county, an' 5 the chief anchor against making wa,
 with the proposition has been the lea
 ot farmers that dogs wouul raid tn u flOCks and wipe them out It is nov II believed that public opinion is S
 strongly in favor of the propositio that sheep are more valuable tha dogs that the farmer will have tn
 backing of popular sentiment if h
 goes even to the extent of summaril
 shooting any roaming dog that
 seemingly threatening the safety of hi
 sheep. Sheep provide food; dogs con
 sGme it. Therein is the hub of tn
 proposition as it appeals to the ave
 rage man. and the dog seems due fc
 the short end of the deal in any COT
 troversy that may arise over the since
 raising question, though there is u
 fond hope that the dogs will be so cor
 siderate and we'll behaved as to leay
 the sheep severely alone.
 That state read from Brooklyn 1

 gets busy mighty soon. That roa
 isn't going to be built, badly as it
 needed and as many good reasons {
 there are for building, unless deter
