ABNER SCHWARTZ BACK FROM
 FURNITURE CONVENTiONe

Just back from his two weeks an- nual trip in the west. Abner Schwartz secretary and treasurer of Schwartz Bros. Furniture Co. Inc, passes out a tip to prospective brides to hurry up the wedding day in view of the proba : bie cost of furnishing a four-room flat next season. He estimates the cost will be from sl.000 to s1.5o0. about double normal times.
 MT. Schdartz visited the Grand Rap ids. Detroit and Chicago furniture ex- positions and reports that 13,000 fur niture buyers were registered at the Grand Rapids exposition alone. AL though prices were advanced from 9 to 40 per cent. over last season. the demand for furniture was so great that 90 per cent. of the output for next year was sold up the first week. There is no guarantee of delivery.
 Several of the largest furniture houses are closed on account of strikes and it looks as if the demands of labor would have to be met. There is a tre- mendous business boom in the west and western buyers placed heavy or ders. MT. Schwartz had few hours in the Marshall Fields big department store in Chicago and found that Chi cago hotels are crowded so that res ervations must be made weeks ahead.

TOWNS WANT SKATE TO
 MAKE UP SCHOOL MONEY

Application for the payment of S14- 2S0-5S to fifteen towns to make up the losses in state grants for schools was drawn I'D this week by Secretary c. D. Hine of the state board of educa- tion for presentation to the comptrol- 1er's office.
 By reason of the fact that the ,"e.s- lature of 1917 fixed temporary schedule for the payment of sta e grants to small toV>. for school ex- penses, based on a classifc3tio1 of the towns according to the size of their grand lists, and at the same time re . quired the towns to spend $25 year for the education of each pupil in or der to secure the state aid these towns received less than they would have been entitled to under the aver : age attendance law effective prior to 19lf. While the fifteen towns me- ,:oncd ;r tie aopIicat tion last year ,e- ccivcti aggregate of 32.65o.I6 un- der tEe temporary legislation which was ro pGaled by the session os ie!J they would have received S,7n:1.12 Under the previous law, and asle.1 T e state fer remittance of the difference to meet their school expenses.
 The first set of figures following the name of each town indicates the pro- of the s14.3so.56 for which application ss now being made. while the second set of figures shows the new total of state aid that will have been granted to such towns: Ashford.

 Under an act of the recent session of the legislature the state board of education is authorized, at it's discre- tion, to certify to the comptroller such losses as towns may have had on account of the temporary legislation by the 1917 session The same act requires the approval of the board of control before the comptroller may draw his order Z the state treasu for the amounts asked for the differ ent towns

NO ICE SCARCITY IN CITY YET

As in other cities most of the ice sold to the consumers in Norwich is being brought here by freight and sold allowing the local supply to be con served until later in the summer when . the demand for ice will be at it's height. As to a shortage of ice, local dealers state that there is no cause for alarm at the present time, but as the hot weather season progresses the supply in the north will be greatly de- creased and ice will become scarce with only the local supply to draw from which is many tons under the average supply.
 The price of ice to families here re- mains at 80 cents a hundred as a general rule though some of the deal CTS have risen to $1 a hundred. The price of ice in other cities throughout the state ranges from 50 cents to one dollar per hundred and in some of the larger cities ice depots have been established and the consumer goes and gets his own supply thereby saving the cost of delivery.
 Whether the price here will become $1 per hundred to all consumers de- bends upon the weather ad how the northern ice crop holds out. Ice is be- ing brought here from a distance of

 pr Hugh B. Campbell of the Nor wlch sanatorium spoke of conditions in the eastern part of the state He said that in Norwich a nurse devotes most of her time to tuberculosis work.

l TWO AUTOS IN DASH ALONG WEST MAIN ST.

Thirty-five to 40 miles an hour for a towing speed through West Main street came near being disastrous Sunday night about 10 o'clock to two automobiles. each bearing the Connecticut license number X255. The automobile registry book gives this number belonging to R. J. Roberge of Wallingford.
 The heavier car of the two was be- ing lowed with 8 rope and had no brakes it. with the result that it gathered speed down the, West Main street hill in front of the First Bap- tist church and ran up on to the other car so that as they passed the West Main street fire station the front fender of the rear car was grinding against the rear fender of the other and both were travelling at about 40 miles an hour, according to those who saw them whizz by. At the corner of High and West Main the rear car managed to turn out past the other, but the connecting rope snatched the forward car around and headed it in towards the barn on the corner. bring ing both to stop.
 The damage was slight and after straightening out the cars kept on down the hill. making another sstop on Central wharf to look things over be- fore they again started on their way.
 Officer Ralph Divito made a report of the accident to police headquarters.

Se,eoo AVAILABLE FOR
 FARM BUREAUS IN STATE

Financial aid from federal funds for every county in Connecticut in the employment of county agricultural agents and home demonstration agents and for five counties in en- ployment of Boys and Girls Club leaders, is assured by recent action of congress i'll adding $200,000 equal izing fund to the regular Smith-Leyer agricultural appropriations.
 The money will be at the disposal Of the extension service representing a cooperative enterprise of Connecti- : cut Agricultural College at Storrs and the U- $. Department of Agriculture. Connecticut's share of the equalizing fund amounts to S9,60O. A large part Of the Smith h-Lever appropriation, now
 coming to this state is used to help pay salaries of county agents and up- keep of farm bureaus.
 The passage of the equaIizing meas ure is largely the work of the Con nectIcut delegation in congress, par ticularly of Senator Mclean who dug up the measure after the house had passed the agricultural appropriation bill without it. He succeeded in hav- ing the matter sent to joint confer ence and with the help of other mem bers of the Connecticut delegation ob- tained place for this item in the bill.
 The equaiizing fund is of especial value to- New England as it helps to overcome an injustice of the original Smith-Lever bill which provides aid to the states for agricultural extension work. Under the terms of this bill, communities of 2.500 inhabitants are classed as urban and are not counted in the agricultural population. upon which the measure of support is based. Scores of agricultural New En- gland villages are left out of the reckoning on this basis and hesequal- izing fund is intended to counteract the injustice.
 Assurance that the equaIizing fund is now an established fact comes in letter to I. G. Davis of the Connecti- cut Extension Service from Congress man Lonergan of the Connecticut del- egation in Washington.

over 100 miles and the sl1rinkaRe in warm weather is large and would nec- essarily advance the price a trifie. Dealers here have contracts with the northern concerns and when these run out there is most certain to be a rise Tn price to the dealer which will rnear II or course a rise in price to the con- sumer.
 In regard to the city attempting to regulate the price of ice and hold down the dealers from advancing it, as was suggested in a letter from Mrs John Ready to the common council at It's July meeting, Mayor ]. J. Des- mond says his position Is that the city has no more right to tell the ice dealers what they should charge than to tell the shoe dealers or grocers or any other tradesmen what they ought to charge for their goods. As far as the city going into the ice business and opening ice stations as was sug- gested in the letter. the mayor says the city cannot legally engage in en- terprises of this kind and while he would like to see any cases or suf- fer1ng because of the high. price of ice relieved, he cannot see that it could be done in the way the letter writer suggests

STEAMER NELSEco
 CARRIES EXCURSION CROWD

On it's second trip of the season Sunday from this city to Ocean Beach the steamer Nelseco II had about double the patronage of a week ago. carrying over $50 when it left here at 10.30 in the morning. and having an even larger number on it's return trip. During the week the steamer has been hauled out and scraped and the effect was plainly apparent when it made the return trip from Ocean Beach in the fast time of an hour and Is minutes.
 The boat proved a popular attrac- ton at Ocean Beach, taking over 800 on the excursion around Fishers Isl- and, which it runs between. the time of arrival from Norwich and the time of starting back for this city.
