Philip Roberse, only winner in east
ern Connecticut of the distinguished
service CROSS. is before long it is now
expected. to receive this mark of very
special honor. War department au-
thorities have been in comEiunica ton
with him and the letter indicates that
his investment with the cross will be
ayaan nil
ture, as BELTS the great deed of valor
that won him distinction
1t was year ago this month that
Private Roberge member of ma
chine gun battalion. attached to the
famous Yankee division. went into the
hell of fire al Belleau wood as a vol
unteer carrier of wounded from where
they had fallen in the thiekest of the
fighting to a place of safety.
Only the bravest of the brave vo1ln-
teered for this work most of them to
fall subsequently, with the comrades
they were trying to save.
Private Reberge himself lost his eve
while engaged in this highly periIeus
work OF rescue, but in spite of this he
carried on until he staggered from
weakness and the blood that was
cushing from his wound blinded him
He had Travelled back and forth over
ground that was swept by a hurrica ne
OF fire in carrying out the work for
which he had volunteered and his
heroism was of such extraordina nv |
nature as to win a magnificent citation +!
from General Pershing.
This soldier, of whom Danielson is |
50 proud. went through hospital after |
hospital in France before being inya-l
laed back to the United States, and I
upon his arrival on this side was sent
to a government hospital at Cape May, |
n. j., where he remained for months
before being mustered out of service /
1t was this changing about that is |
responsible for the war department |
not having been able previously to
locate him; so for a year he has gone
without the cross which he so sp1en- |
didly won. An effort will be made by
his friends here to have the decoration
ceremony made a public affair not |
only as a tribute to Private Roberge
but as an inspiration to All who love
their country and who will go to any
lengths to serve it faithfully and well
The warnin1 printed in this column
q snort time ago that it would avail
nething to seek prescriptions for
liquors from physicians has borne
fruit. One physician stated Thursday /
that he has not received one
application for prescription since the
announcement was printed. and he is !
delighted over the fact Other physi-
clans nave equally a S good reports to /
make. and the applications that have
come in have been almost negligible in
number.
What might be termed demonstra-
loIl Heid Of corn planted on the farm
Of t.. S. Barstow at East Killingly is
1oing splendidly. This field contains
number of varieties of corn suitab
for silage purposes. and the object is
to determine which variety or varie-
ties may be best for this particular
section of the country. County Agent
&. w. Ellis of the windham County
Farmers association has taken an
active interest in the field ever since
t was planted, and he said on Thurs
lay that the different kinds of corn
now growing will be piacarded at once
IN the interest of those who may go to
he farm to inspect the corn.
Like every other town along the
.rolIey line. Danielson has its side
walk experts who can tell you offhand
low the trolley company and its en-
oloyes can reconcile their differences

Dad earning money. in the morning
Settling the trolley dispute is now one
II the favorite pastimes of the man
Who is as general rule a financial
ierelict on his own account.
