THIS IS LOYALTY WEEK
Governor Holcomb Issues Prociama
 ton to That Effect.

Governor Holcomb in a proclanla- ton last week, designated the week beginning February 22 as loyalty week." The proclamation follows:
 Two great Americans, Washington and Lincoln, were born in February. They acknowledged allegiance to no other country. In this period of tur- moil and unrest, with foreign propa- gand promulgated in many news papers, from many pulpits, finding fertile soil and willing ears, it is vital importance that loyal Americans ser iously attempt to Americanize Amer ica, including native as we'll as for eign-born citizens, in order. that the government of, for and by the people shall not perish in the United States.
 Therefore, in accordance with the action taken by sister states, pro- claim the week beginning on Feb. 22 (Washington's birthday as loyalty week, and urge that all citizens of Connecticut renew to themselves pledges of loyalty to the principals of liberty, supremacy of law, repre- sentative government and the enligh- tened rule of the majority.
 T also call upon all clergymen to make public announcement upon these subjects"

HISTORIC MILL
Collapses From Weight of Snow
 in Cornwall

The old turning mill owned by Harry Chamberlain and situated about halfway between Cornwall and Cornwall Bridge went down in one of the late storms from the weight of snow on the roof. But few living know the history of the pie turesque old structure, the building of which was planned over south ern campfire of the Civil War.
 e The late Capt. Edward F. Gold of Cornwall with his associated officers, the late Col. Hubbard of Litchfeld, an inventor, MT. Lyon of Milton, and Col. Steven F.. Gold, also an inn portant inventor. of his time, formed a company and built the large frame building upon Capt. Edward F. Colds estate, for the purpose of making implements for the use of farmers, known as rock-pullers. The building was built after the return of these veterans in 1865, and the late Dennison Wilcox was the maker of the tool. After time it was used for turning out large wooden screws, and so it became named the Turning Mill.

CANAAN MERCANTILE
 COMPANY TO SELL OUT
Entire Stock and Fixtures to Be Placed on
 Sale

A. w. Holsapple, who has been conducting the grocery store known as the Canaan Mercantile Co.,, for entire stock of groceries and fixtures are to be closed out. The sale will commence on Monday, March 1st and will continue until everything is disposed of. q
 s The Canaan Mercantile company was organized about nine years ago and purchased the business of Bull lock 6 Fenton, located at the same stand. The company was composed of E. L. Roberts, A. W. Holsapple, Mrs. A. W. Holsapple and O. J. Decker. The firm conducted gen. eral merchandise business and carried an unusually large stock for place of this size. MT. Roberts left the organization a year or so after organization and about a year ago, O. J.. Decker was compelled by illness to retire. Since that time MT. Holsapple has conducted ths business.
 About four years ago the com pany disposed of their line of fur niture and ladies' and gents fur nishings. This left only the grocery department, which has enjoyed a liberal patronage under MT. Hol- sapple's leadership. That the store will not long remain vacant seems certain and it was gathered from Mr. Holsapple's conversation that some one would reopen the store.
 Before coming to this town MT. Holsapple was in the general store business at Amenia, N. Y. He did not care to give the reason for sell ing out, but stated that business was very good. What his plans for the future will be. have not as yet ma- tured but he, will probably remain in town for the present.

SAM SIRLIN FINED SIS
Tried in Torrington Borough Court for Cruelty to Horse

Samuel Sirlin of East Canaan was arraigned before Judge Bernard E.. Higgins in borough court Tuesday afternoon on charge of cruelty to animals. He pleaded not guilty. It was alleged that Sirlin "unlawfully did overdrive, drive when over loaded, overwork, torture and de- prive certain bay horse of neces- sary sustenance, and while, having charge and custody of said animal necessarily failed to provide it with proper food, drink and protection from the weather, and cruelty aban- doned said horse"

PRESIDENTS DAUGHTER
 VISITOR AT NORFOLK
Tells Editor of News That the
 Snowshoeing Was Delightful

Professor and Mrs. Francis B. Sayre spent the weekend at Norfolk as the guest of Miss Cora Brown at Crissey Place. Accompanying them were MT. and Mrs. Maynard Hagen of New Haven. Mrs. Sayre is the daughter of President Wilson and her husband is an instructor in the Harvard Law School at Cambridge.
 The party enjoyed snowshoeing, skiing and other winter sports, which are now at their heighth at Norfolk, to as great an extent as their short visit would permit. That they keenly relished this kind of relaxa- tion is attested by the fact that they expressed the intention of returning to Norfolk in the future.
 The party boarded the first East bound train leaving Norfolk on Mon day morning, enroute to Cambridge. It was but few minutes 7 before their presence was generally known among the passengers and the edi- tor, who was one of them, decided to try for an interview. Approaching the party he asked if Mrs. Sayres was present, to which MT. Hagen replied:
 'I do not know Mrs. Sayres."
 Do you mean that the Presidents daughter is not in this party" was asked.
 "I do not know Mrs. Sayres" replied MT. Hagen again haughtily.
 At loss for a moment, the editor turned to the other gentleman pres ent, who good-naturedly remarked that his wife's name was pronounced "Sayre", without the "s". This gentleman was Prof. Sayre, who in dicated that his wife, the Presidents daughter, sat beside him. Piled with questions regarding their visit to Norfolk, Prof. Sayre stated that they had nothing to say for publica- tion. After little time however, the editor was told that they had had very enjoyable time and enjoyed the snowshoeing and skiing immense ly.
 Prof. Sayre was very pleasant and Mrs. Sayre's quiet laugh throughout the conversation seemed to indicate that the questions and eyasiye answers amused her.

BLODCETT APPOINTED TAX COMMISSIONER
Native of Falls Village and Prominent in Republican
 Activities.

The many friends Of William n. Blodgett in this town and in Falls Village where he was born and lived for a number of years, will be glad to learn that he has been appointed by Governor Holcomb to succeed w. H. Corbin as Tax Commissioner. He will assume direction of the office on March 1, when Commissioner Corbin retires,. and serve the unex- pired term ending July l, 1921.
 By reason of the fact that he has served in all the clerkships of the Legislature, the new commissioner has wide acquaintance in the state. Born in Falls Village, in the town of Canaan, October 2, 1874, he spent his early boyhood in that place, go- ing West as a young man to com plete his education. He studied sci ence and law and was graduated from the Northern Indiana Law School in June, 1902, after which he returned to Connecticut and spent a short. time in Falls Village. Re- ceiving the republican nomination for representative that year he was elected by large majority for the session of 1903.
 Subsequently he opened law of flee in Winsted. In April, 1904, he was appointed prosecuting attorney of the town of Winchester and later became attorney for the borough of Winsted. Since that time he has re- sided in Winsted.
 During the 1907 sessions of the Legislature, MT. Blodgett was elected assistant clerk of the House of Rep resentatives and at the 1909 session he was promoted to the clerkship. He was clerk of the senate at the 1911 session and in 1913 was named clerk of bills, continuing in that of flee during succeeding sessions.
 In this capacity he has been called upon to draft hundreds of laws now on the Connecticut statute books, i'm cluding much intricate tax legislation involving careful study and a com plete, understanding of the subject. He also drew up many of the emer- gency measures adopted by the 1917 session of the Legislature after the United States had entered the war against Germany. On account of his shrewd legal mind, he has been as often consulted by legislators for ad- vice on legislative procedure as for the drafting of bills likely to be sub- jected to severe tests in the courts. At the age of 46 he is looked upon as the dean of legislative clerks, having passed through all grades.
 MT. Blodgett was married in 1909 to Miss Beatrice Lucella Moore, of Winsted, daughter of the late Alfred E. Moore, known throughout the country as a balloonist, having been one of the pioneers in that art. He made several trips for the ''New York World" taking the first photographs from ship in the air.
 MT. BlodgettS has been an active member of the republican party and was at one time chairman of the re- publican town committee in Winsted. In the campaign of 1916 and 1918 he was campaign manager for James P. Glynn.

INSPECTOR GIDMAN EX-
 ONERATED OF CHARGES
Charges Against Norfolk Man 10 Crafty Malice is
 Finding

< Attorney General Frank E. Healy, in giving his decision in the case of Vernon F. Gidman chief inspector of the state motor vehicle department, who was, charged with conduct un- becoming gentleman, or an. officer of state department, finds that the affidavit made by Herbert W. Grant, and others, was not made for the bet terment of the public service, ''but was made to gratify the malice of Herbert w. Grant, who sought, in this way, to injure the reputation of Vernon F. Gidman as a public off, cial." Inspector Gidman is exoner- ated in the finding of the attorney general, who heard the evidence in the case at the request of Robbins B. Stoeckel, state motor vehicle com missioner, who felt himself disquali- fled to act.
 An affidavit, dated December 6, 1919, and signed by Herbert w. Grant, May Grant, Gustave Carlin, Carl Thorngren and W. T. Little, all of East Hartford, said that on No vember 13, in MT. Grants garage, Inspector Gidman used profane lan- guage, and that he was boisterous and insulting to Mrs. May Grant. It added that the inspectors. conduct generally was unbecoming a gentle man, or an officer of state depart ment.
 The decision of the attorney gen. eral is the first that he has been called upon to give in such case. His finding follows:-
