4 JANUARY 1ST, 1920, AFTER LONG
TERM or SERVICE.
:. B. STILES APPOINTED JUDGE.
New Judge Is Eminently Fitted For
Responsible Position to Which He
Has Been Appointed.

Judge Geo. W. Dunham rendered his
resignation as Judge OF the District
Court to- Governor Harding on Thurs
day, December 4th, 1919, and on the
same date the Governor appointed
Attorney e. B. Stiles OF this city to
succeed him, effective January first,
1920. The action OF judge Dunham
came as surprise to all hut his inti-
mate friends, who have known for
some time that he desired to devote
his time, for the present at least. to
more leisurely pursuits. Upon his
leaving the bench the members OF the
( bar or this judicial district will feel.
/ that they are parting with Judge, IN
J whose Judgment, integrity and legal
ability they haye the highest respect.
His court was always ably and impair
tially conducted and the fact that
-iySfy few of mis- decisions have been
reversed by the Supreme Court Is
!. proof Of the excellcnce Of his labors,

fuel SITUATION Con.
|TlNUES TO Be SERIOUS
VERY LIMITED SUPPLY OF COAL
e is BEING RECEIVED By DEAL
ERS OF MANCHESTER.
STRIKE LIKELY TO CONTINUE.
Inclement Weather Of Past Week Is
Drain on Meager Supply Of
Fuel

The fuel situation in Manchester has
not improved materially during the
past week. The first of the week one
coal dealer had a car load of soft
coal released for domestic consump-
tion, and 1t is being sold to individuals
lin 500-pound lots. on orders signed by
the fuel administrator. With the mer-
curry dropping to 25 below zero, as 1t
did last night, car load OF soft coal
will last but very short time.
The city council adopted an emer-
gency ordinance last Wednesday even
ing fixing closing hours OF all places
|of business using fuel. The 0rdin-
ance fixes the following hours, which
Manchester merchants and business
men have been asked to observe in
conserving fuel:
The following places Of business
will be required to open and close as
follows: Week days picture shows.
open 700 p. M, close 800 p. M;
pool halls, open 1000 q. m. close
$50 >. M: business houses. open
1000 Z. M. close 500 p. M; Satur-
days open 1000 q. M, close 500 p.
N. Hotel dining rooms and eating
houses. open week days 1t TOO . M,
and close 1t 1880 p. M. Saturday, open
700 Z. M, and close at 800 p. M.
The people Of Manchester were
more than willing to accept the hours
a. fixed BY the council, with the one
exception. that OF permitting the pool
halls to remain open until $50 in the
evening. This ruling called forth .
protest from the people generally. We
confess that 1t was rank injustice to
permit pool hall to remain open two
and one-half hours after offices and
stores are closed. and after the school
board decided to close the public
and the churches Of the city
agreed to discontinue regllar SER
vices. Possibly there are reasons why
pool halls should be given preference
over our public schools. churches. and
stores.
One thing Is certain. the outlook for
soft coal is not at all encouraging, and
II the strike continues, and from pres
ent indications there is no settlement
in sight, more rigid rules may have 70
be ordered by the fuel administration.

BURLESQUE COUNTY fAlh A BIZ
SUCCESS.

The burieSque county fair at the
ArMory last Week proied 10 Ee one
OF the most unique and clever events
happening in Manchester for many
years. The Armory was transformed
into a miniature county fair grounds,
with streets and booths for the var
ious special features, divided OF by
heavy paper partitions. The whole
was trimmed in red. white and blue.
while the Epworth League Candy
Booth was in Christmas decorations
!; An excellent and varied musical
program was given each evening by
1.-THE Holbert's Orchestra, assisted By
Mrs. Williams, Robt. GreeaIaw and
others. George Grouse and Michael
Mccarthy contributed some old time
numbers. The special features were
well attended and deserve much COM
mendation. Probably the most popu-
lar was the miniature motion picture
show carried out with clever and
amusing shadowgraphs The Com
gress OF Beauties, an entertainment
by young women dressed in the cos
tune OF various nations, and the re-
alistic plantation scene by some OF
the high school boys are also desery-.
ing Of special mention. The museum
and Art Gallery contained many clev-
er sells" as well as interesting bona
fide curios from different parts OF the
word. The dainty Japanese Tea Car
den was also very popular.
! In fact, the whole entertainment
from start to finish was attractive and
interesting and each part is deserv-.
Ing Of individual praise. The ladies
Of the M. =. church are to be congrat-
ulated on the success Of the UNDER
taking. Never before has Manchester
seen ail-both young and oidr- work
ing together as in this enterprise leEs
while the young folks contributed
most LARGELY the more humorous fea-
lures, the women were back OF them
and added to their program the big
chicken pie dinner where four hun
dred were served and the usual ba-
zaar features. It demonstrated very
clearly the need for more community
functions where all can gather for a.
good. wholesome time together II il to
be hoped that there willsbe many more
such gatherings in the future. XXX
