missionary journals that would show
them what the money-every cent of
it is doing. Ignorance is bliss" to
some people, but voluntary wilful
ignorance is gross sin in Gods eye
and "covetousness is idolatry", so our
Bible tells us. You know the ostrich
hides its head in the sand thinking it
is safe, but its blind ignorance does
not save it from its pursuers!
Self deceived is only on easier

the track of every self deceived soul!
Remember this friends, Awake thou
that sleepeth and arise from the dead
and Christ shall give thee light" you

buttons to this fund are to be expend-

LOCAL MAN SAYS MINE
 OPERATORS LACK LABOR

According to the observation of Jacob Slosberg, owner of the Shetucket Coal and Wood Co.,, who has just returned from a trip through the anthracite field in Penn sylvania, one of the troubles that the coal mine operators are encountering is scarci- ty of labor. This comes about because of the drift back to their native land of many Polanders and Slavonians who are going back home since the war is over. No other class of men is coming into the coal fields to take their places. Shortage of empty coal cars is another difficulty at the present time, cutting down the ship ping facilities from the mines, even if they have men enough to keep up their production.
 MT. Slosberg visited particularly the territory of the "Old Company's" coal mines, as he is a dealer in their coal. One of the more than usually interesting processes that he saw there was the briquetting plant, which has the reputa- ton of being the best equipped plant of it's kind in the world, costing well over half a million dollars
 The briquetting presses turn out 30 tons an hour each, requiring 150 horsepower to prive, and eXerting between the two rolfs pressure of almost 1,oo0, ,0OO pounds The asphalt which is used for binder for the coal is especially clean and pure and is imported direct from Mexico. It is handled in very large quantities in tank car lots. As a whole tf.e plant impresses visitor by it's greatness and by it's en. gineering skill and boldness, and is some thing to attract the attention of all pro- gressive coal dealers and the public.

FLAG DAY EXERCISES
 AT ELKS' HoNfE SUNDAY

As has been the custom for many years Norwich lodge, No. 430, B. P. O. E., held their annual Flag Day observ- ance at the Elks' home on Sunday ev ening with an attendance of over 200. The exercises were to have been held on tn lawn in front of tn home but the drizzling rain prevented and the exercis- es took place in the lodge room.
 Seated on the platform with Exalted Ruler John L. Counihan, master of cere- monies, were Mayor H. M. Lerou, who delivered the address of welcome, and Ex-Mayor Allyn L. Brown, speaker of the evening. The members of the common council attended in body.
 Preceding the programme Tubbs' Mill tary band gave a short concert after which the unfurling of the flag took place. A. Craig Taylor sang the Star Spangled Banner after which Exalted Ruler John L. Counihan made the in troductory address. Mayor H. M. Lerou made the address of welcome in which he spoke of the significance of the observ- ance of the flag and what it means to the citizens of this great and glorious country.
 The programme was as follows:
 Concert, Tubbs Military band; unfurl- ing of the flag; solo. The Star Spangled Banner, A. Craig Taylor, assisted by the
  L. Counihan address of welcome, May or Herbert M. Lerou; solo, Keep the Home Fires Burning, Edward Connolly, assisted by the band; History of the Flag, P E. R. Frank G. Aubrey; band selection, Anerican-Bendix; Elks' Trib- | uate to the Flag Brother A. F. Camp bell solo, Columbia, The Gem of the 1 Ocean, Brother Edward Connolly, as- sisted by the band; patriotic address Hon. Allyn L. Brown band selection National Emblem March solo, America
 Brother A. Craig Taylor, assisted by ] Tubbs band.
 i MT. Brown said in his address: The flag is no mere piece of bunting; it is a I symbol of liberty and justice and guar i antee of protection to those who live in the land over which it waves. tI stands | for that principle that men fought for in the Revolution, in 1912, in 1861, in 1898 and again in tho war just ended. That principle is liberty. This principle makes l it more than a mere piece of bunting. l Mir Brown also referred to the way 1 the citizens supported the principles of l the flag during the recent wars, but i said that now the reactionary period, a | period of unrest, had set in, the people were losing sight of these principles. We l as Americans should apply the same principles regar1ing the flag as did our forefathers The flag calls for coop eration of all its citizens, regardless of their station in life. The flag belongs 1 to al of us and what it does for one, it does for all It is your flag and it is miRe.
 The exercises closed with the singing of America, led by A Craig Taylor.
