/ Manchester. VI,
Dear Sir,
wish 70 utter q strong protest
larainst tho method employed b. The
collector q; East Dorset 10 collect tax
~ due thc town by me on property
(which / owe in Dorset, 70 Wit: adj
yertising through your Journal that
said property will be sold al public
auction, taxes and expenses incidental
/ 70 such sale to be withheld from pro-
cceds.
Had not a good friend in Dorset,
with a sense Of the injustice Of the
proceeding enclosed in a letter TO me a
clipping from the Manchester Journal
advising me Of the proposed sale, II
might not have come 10 my attention
until. possibly, received a check for
balance (if anyD due me after de-
Quoting taxes and expenses.
I was informed at the time | pur-
chased this piece Of ground that bills
for taxes would be sent to me, and so
gave no further thought to the matter.
No bills ever reached me although
the collector, am told, sent them to
"some address" which he had been
given.
As | am fairly well known in Dor
set my proper address could have been
very readily ascertained by the coll
lector had he taken little pains TO do
so; at any rate why could he not have
advertised for il instead Of taking the
course he did?
think that in justice TO myself, and
in order to remove any false impress
sion which the notice in your paper
may have created the above remarks
should be published and SHOULD
greatly appreciate your doing so.
Very truly yours,
(Signcd) K. G. MCINTYRE

The country districts were strongly
for Wood while johnson was strong IN

widespread snow storm in Michigan
had much to do with keeping down

FLEES HOSPITAL TO WE'D
Ex.Yeomanette III From Worry When
Parents Refuse Consent
to Marriage.

Hartford, Conn.-Following. an elOpe-
ment after the bride had escaped from
her sick bed in hospital Mr.. and Mrs.
Clarence Everett Hall were found at
the home of the bridegrOom,s parents
in Mantle, Conn.,, few miles west
Of New London.
The elopement was the sequel to a
wartime romance begun when Miss
Eleanor Higgins Of Sc Sargent street,
this city, daughter Of Capt Robert b.
Higgins. u. S. n, was a yeOmanette
and Hall. trolley car conductor, was
soldier.
During the war the couple became
engaged. After her discharge from the
service Miss Higgins vainly tried to
obtain her parents consent to her mar
riage. and finally became seriously i'll.
At the Hartford hospital it was said
she was suffering from nervous ex-
hausti0n and worry. She had been
there about six weeks.

lean Mills.

New York.-Many are the wells that
the farmers are just now digging, or
have Just finished digging. in British
South Africa, for the severity Of the
recent drought has compelledta wide
spread tapping Of the earth for water,
and besides many AZ farmer has de-
cided to take time by the fOrelock and
prepare for other droughts. ~
And where the wells are being dug,
new windmins are becoming part and
parce. of the South African landscape,
and a considerable, proportion OF the
new win'lmills are coming across the
ocean from the United States, which
follows naturally the fact that for
some time past the South African
farmer, scanning the advertising COL
umns of his journal, has been reading
about windmills made in the United
States,"~an how superior they are
to windmills made anywhere else.
Something more than 100000 the
farmers Of British South Africa spent
in 1919 for American windmills.

\The following statement has been

1t is planned to consolidate the
three Bell Telephone companies OPP

such bodies. -
The name, Northwestern Bell

en- fer the proposed new company be-
cause considerable part Of the ter
ritory included in the organization
has long been known as 1.-The North

tifcs the company's location in the
country.
The consolidation proposed will in
clude the Nebraska Telephone COM
pany, which operates throughout Ne

Iowa Telephone company, which OPP
crates throughout Iowa, and the

agement and no changes are con-
templated in the offices or in the

Of three separate companies and three
distinct corporations under one man
agement. This. will Re eliminated by
the change to single corporation.

from German hands. There are the
homely, appealing scenes from behind
the lines with happy,go-lucky young

mixing among the people of France

pie.

War Implements Displayed.
In rooms around the picture display
are shown all the countless things
with which the army and the navy
dealt in the war; the guns, the bombs,
the uniforms Of ally and enemy alike
captured weapons and German war

striking setting for the epic tale the
war artists have pictured, probably the
only such record ever assembled, for
it began with the army and runs on
to the departure Of the homeward
