Relative to Building
IN 1920.

DON'T YOU WISH YOU HAD a few houses really for sale to-day, and built on last yeer's prices? They were ''far-sighted, you ssy,-those who ven turel to "start som mething' in the build ing line a year ago. How about 1920 Is new house still safe investment? CONSIDER
 That high prices of material, es- pecially lumber, never yet retarded building, but rather stimulate it. Witness last years high prices and the unparalleled amount of new construction.
 That houses will always be built when houses are in demand, re- gardlesS of cost.
 That houses must be built in Staf- ford to keep pace with the town $ industrial development
 That he who is ready to meet the demand for houses, either for rent or sale, is the man who will gain the profit.
 That houses must be built when money IS available with which to pay for them, and that never be fore was there so much money m Stafford aS there is this minute. Consider all the above facts, for facts they are. most of them having been demonstrated in history over and over again. And remember that when you have persuaded a man to invest In a home, he has bought something which will never miss divIden |

Manchester writes that they went to New Britain a week or so before the accident, that resulted fatally, to call on their old and intimate neighbor, finding him feeble in health but with
 mind and memory good. Mrs. Holman writes that no bones were broken by the fall on the stairs but the shock
 and bruises made it advisable to re-
 move him to the hospital where pneu-
 monla developed hastening the end.
 MT. and Mrs. Carpenter were kindly,
 neighbOrly and popular people. They
 attended services at Wesley chapel
 where there was then a thriving Sun
 day school and regular preaching
 Their removal to Wales, Mass, was
 greatly regretted. Mrs. Carpenter
 died in Wales and the friends Judge and Mrs. Holman, Legrand Johnson
 and wife and Carpenter relatives,
 here, who drove across country to
 West Woodstock, to attend the funer- al never forgot the sweet and pa
 thetic picture of the beautiful young
 mother with her baby in her arms, surrounded by the beautiful floral
 offerings. Mir. Carpenter made of the bereavement a sorrow that was never Outlived.
 At a special town meeting, legally
 warned and held in town hall, Decem-
 Der the twenty second, the meeting
 was called to order by first selectman, w. H. Bracket. The call of the meeting was read. w. H. Bracket was chosen chairman. The first bus mess was to see if the town will accept a significial seal for public documents? It was unanimously vo- ted to adopt the following resolutions: Whereas, it is necessary for every town in the state to have a Seal for use upon public documents, and, Whereas the thought occurred to ". H. Hall that Willington, like New
 Haven, Windham, Warehouse Point,
 New Britian etc., should have a seal that was significant of some historial fact and,
 Whereas Willington is the home of the thread industry of these United States, and,
 Whereas the first spool of thread made in the United states was made in WillingtCn, Be it resolved that we adopt as the corporate seal of the town the following design:- Seal, Town of Wilmington, Connecticut, with a spool of thread in the center.

MANHATTAN IN SECOND PLACE

THE reports from the new census-takers
Il and other sources that Brooklyn has
outstripped insular New York in popula-
tion tell familiar story of municipal
development.
The "city" of London is today almost
without permanent inhabitants. It is a
business center, deserted at nightfall.
Some of the large towns of France lie
Immediately contiguous to the fortifica-
tions of the official civic entity of Paris.
The drive toward the suburbs is ire
sistible in Philadelphia, although the
magnitude Of our city-county area rem
ders it unlikely any outlying residential
neighbor in this district" will soon sur
pass us in inhabitants.
Nevertheless the prospect of the Della
ware bridge inspires curious thoughts.
Brooklyn, butt of the musical-comedy
clown and conventional jokesmith, grew
prodigiously when the great work of
Roebling and his followers obviated the
necessity of ferry transit. Residents of
Camden are perhaps pondering the de-
motion of Manhattan with a peculiar
interest
