AS OTHERS SEE US.

The. Torrington Register" in it's issue of last Wednesday states that Canaan is still snowbound together with some other things, which to us sound more as if they originated in Winsted. For instance we reprint the following:
 Laborers in Canaan have been getting $14 day and their board for shoveling snow for the rail roads. The tie-up is the biggest that the northern section of Litch- field county has ever known. For days there was no train connection between Millerton, N. Y., and Winsted, and practically every man and boy in the vicinity has
Connecticut western news., 1920-03-25
been piling up money digging the trains out of drifts.

trains out of drifts.
 Even in these days of high costs $14 day sounds pretty big and the truth of the matter is that laborers did not receive it. On one or two occasions where men, not boys, were sent with a train they received "A hours pay, amounting to $12.8O, which is not $14 nor did they work the next day. The Register would lead one to believe that the whole town was out shoveling snow for the railroads and at the same time piling up a fortune. But read the next paragraph:
 The old railroad men say the
 blizzard of 1888 was a joke com pared with last weeks storm. For the first time in its history, the
 Berkshire division of the New
 Haven road was tied up for days
 between Falls Village and Shef- field, with train after train stalled in the snow banks. Many high ways are still buried deep and the travelling is done through fields.
 On only one occasion were the trains stalled on the Berkshire divi- sion, when a train was blocked over night at Sheffield by snow. Trains were late here as elsewhere and de- railment caused some truoble at Falls Village, but there was not one day when most trains on the Berk- shire did not get through.
 We have always placed consider able confidence in the accuracy of articles appearing in the Register, but in this instance they are decided ly at fault.

COVER BROKEN WINDOW PANE
Glass Should Be Replaced Without Unnecessary Delay-MusIin or
 Paper Is Good.

When window glass becomes broken in the poultry house 1t should be replaced or covered without a days delay. By no means should the aper- ture be left over night.
 It is but the work of few minutes to tack over the hole a thick piece of muslin or other white cloth. This will keep out the wind and let in some light. If muslin Is not handy, paper can be used. This is, of course, only a makeshft until one can get the glass needed.

Canaan Citizens Gladly Testify and Confidently Recommend Doan's
 Kidney Pills

It is testimony like the following that has placed Doan's Kidney Pills so far above competitors. When people right here at home raise their voice in praise there is no room left for doubt. Read the public state ment of n Canaan citizen:
 George K. Morris, retired mach mist, Main St., says: "Some years ago l suffered greatly from kidney trouble. l had annoying pains across the small of my back and the kidney secretions were burning and irregular in passage. l often felt all tired out. A friend told me of Doan's Kidney Pills and I gave them a trial. I must say they help ed me wonderfully. still use Doan's once in awhile with good re- sults."

 The Republic of Czecho-Slovakia has provided for life term for it's president. If the new republics take advantage of the experience of the old they will find that life term off, cers are not conducive to long lives of republics. The habit of power is too strong for constant democratic repression when under no prospect of limitation.
 In consequence of the entente cor diale between the president and the senate the country has no secretary of state and those desiring to travel abroad cannot do so because there is no responsible authority to sign pass ports.

STALLINCS DISCOVERS
EAYRES CAN HURL YET
Former Brown University Star May
Quit Outfeld For Mound
Duties.

George Stallings, who is trying to
rebuild the Boston Braves. made an
important discovery the other day.
The Braves were scheduled to play
an exhibition game with the Detroit
Tigers, and Stallings, being short of
pitchers. assigned a former Brown
University player named Eddie
Eayrcs to the box.
As manager of the Province team
for the past three years, Eayres play
ed in the outfield and batted in the
300 class, for which reason he was
signed by the Braves.
Eayres, while at Brown University,
was a capable left-handed pitcher.
Without having time to try his arm,
Eayres pitched nine innings against
the Tigers. held them to eight scat
tered hits and trimmed them by a
score of to |.
Eayres struck out four men. in
cluding the heavy hitting Heilman,
gave three bases on balls, and knock
ed out three-bagger. Stallings now
is planning to use Eayrcs regularly
on the mound.

RUDD, OF ENGLISH TEAM,
IS STRONG In ATHLETICS
Britoh, TO Compete at Penn Relay,
Wins Four Events in
Big Meet.

The English runners. composed Of
oxford and Cambridge University
men and coached by the famous All
Shrubb, greatest distancer in the
world in his day. who arrived for the
Penn Relays, arc men of exceptional
ability.
While the Oxford-Cambridge two
mile team is the most talked OF at
present the runners are good enough
to make places in any of the open
events in which they care to run.
In the recent Oxford-Cambridge
track meet, Rudd, of Oxford. stood
out as the star. In that meet Rudd
won four first places. capturing the
hundred in even time. ran a dead heat
in the final of the quarter-mile in
40 3-5. won the half-m.le in 1878.
and then competing in the broad
jump did better than twenty-one feet.

team will make a wonderful record
although the University OF Illinois is
expecting to put in four runners ca
pable of doing better than 1857: :f

mia, Chicago and Yale may make it

CENTRAL ANXIOUS
TO WIN CONTEST
Mt. Pleasant Lads Will Pitch
Krupp Against Tech Lads
Tomorrow Afternoon.

Central High is more than anxious
to land tomorrow's game. The Mt.
Pleasant lads feel that If they can
dispose of Tech, last years title
holder, at the jump they will have
won the series.
Frank Kupp, Central's pitching
ace, will probably be sent to the
mound for the Central lads, against
Norman Hutchinson, Techs star
hurler Both teams have good battery
men. With Penrose Russell catching
for Central and Mike Parella back
stopping for the Manual Trainers, the
teams are fortified.
Central has other stars in the line
up. Dick Newby. at second; Jimmy
Lemon. on first, and Parrish Wood in
the field, have made records in other
sports.
Techs players include Deck, the
all-high first sacker of last year: Au-

.H|L[T0PPERSH HARD
PUT WITHOUT STAR
Georgetown Hopes for Win A.
though LeGendre will Be
Missing May 8.

Will the injury to Bob LeGendre,
American pentathlon champion, rob
Georgetown of it's chance to win the
South Atlantics this year? The loss
of the titleholder who appeared heads
and shoulders above the section ath-
letes in the field events and hurdles
in meets during the past has caused
no little speculation among the thir-
teen colleges expecting to take part
in the meet at Blacksburg, Va,
May S.
LeGendre. still on crutches and
likely to be hobbling about for six
weeks yet. is certainly out of the
running. He was expected to not
only win the pentathlon at Philadel-
phia on April 80, but was counted
upon to take many points for George
town in the sectional meet.
John O'Reilly. coach of the Blue and
Gray track team. figures Georgetown
will have a tight squeeze. but will be
able to present strength enough to
win out i'm the annual meet.
1--WE still have Griffith, Connolly,
Auray. Fitzgerald, McDonough, NAL
ley, Bradley, and others" says
OReilly. who is not given to predic-
tions. And we can make Hopkins,
Washington and Lee, Virginia, and
V. =. I. and the others step lively to
beat us"

out and then watch 3. Roth" says
the Griffs' new right fielder. "Guess
we'll be out there doing a little run
ming"
With everything equal, Roth comes
close to being the best baserunner on
the Washington club. He has demon
strated his ability in the past and is
in fine condition this spring, having
not an ounce of extra weight on his
frame.
Should GaIEop Bases.
With Judge, Milan, Rice. and Roth
all on the team, they should keep op-
posing catchers busy this year, once
they get on. All four are fast, heady
baserunners. 1t is doubtful IL any
other team in the circuit has as many
good runners as have the Griffmen.
Roth will probably be given a close
once.over during the series opening
here today. He was with the Mack
men last year before being traded to
the Red Sox with Maurice shannon.
He was said to have had trouble with
his fellow-players, though being
captain of the team. He has been
panned by several writers in this
city, and this always works for maxi
ing partisans out of the fans.
"We'll have to go out today and
show the bugs we've got something"
is the way Roth puts the question.
He may be depended upon to do his
best against the Mackmen. If only to
show Connie Mack that he has il in
him and can deliver real big league
basel ball.
