HOME TOWN SPIRIT

Trade goes by favor" is an ole
saying. If a man makes no effort to
throw business advantages in the way
of his neighbors, he can not expect
that they will show much interest in
his prosperity. Yet a great many PEG
pie who are dependent on the indust.
ries of this town for their success,
will buy in some other city, merely
because they think they are going TO
save a margin of q few cents. The
chances are that if they give their
alleged bargains the same careful ex-
animation they would apply to them
In home store they would never pay
I down good money for them. But that
lis another story.
When you buy goods away from
home, you cut yourselves loose from
the business interests of the home
town, You declare that you have moth
ing to gain by the friendship of your
neighhors or the prosperity of your
community. On the purely sentiment
al side, one has little admiration for
this lack of town spirit. There is an
element of disloy;Ity in refusing to
help build up the community that
provides you your home and the com
forts and conveniences of civilization.
But, laying aside all questions of
sentiment, why not consider the adj
Vantages of making business friends
at home? Every time you buy goods
in home store you create personal
relation that may be very profitable.
This is particularly the case where
yon have anything to sell at home. The
man who gets your patronage becomes
personally interested in you. If you
are in business here, the spirit of
reciprocity prompts him to patrcnize
your establishment Even if you work
for salary or wages the relations you
create in the home stores, by patroniz-
ing the home dealer, may be exceed |
ingly valuable in some future exigency. |
The man to whom you have given your |
trade becomes your friend, and if he |
can find some way to throw favors in |
your direction he will be glad to do
it. -

COWS DISAPPEARING
In the Eastern Part of State Ac.
 cording to Inspector

Dairy cows are fast disappearing in the eastern section of the state, according to reports made by inr spectors connected with the state dairy and food commission who say the number of milch cows east of the Connecticut river has noticeably diminished during the past few months, veterinarians connected with the state commission on demes- tic animals report that a large num- Der of milch cows have been "beef- ed" during the summer, but no official figures are yet available.
 Deputy State Commission on Dairy and Food Herbert O. Daniels of Middletown, declared that the situation is due to a number of complications perplexing and dis coufaging to dairymen. He declar- ed that during the past three years dairymen, unable to meet the enor- nous increase in wages offeredt lab orers by manufacturers have had to sit back and watch their men leave the farms and troop to the fac tories.

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN
 SHARON SITUATION New Haven Association to Confer With Chamber
 of Commerce

Joseph H. Ullman of New Haven is reported as saying that a com mittee composed of Colonel Isaac M. Ullman of New Hs en, Charles H. Shapiro of Bridgeport and himself, would probably confer this week with the Sharon Chamber of Com merce, relative to a circular sent out by the chamber about four months ago to all property holders in that village asking that they re- frain from selling their property to Jews on the ground that a Jewish colony would be objectionable.
 The committee of three, which represents the Indepedndent Order of B'nai Brith, addressed to George B. Chandler, secretary of the Con- necticut Chamber of Commerce, letter late in July which asked the state chamber to call a meeting of its executive committee in an effort to preclude the sending out of any such circulars by any member of the state chamber in the future. MT. Ullman did not know that at that time MT. Chandler was in Europe. He said that, when he found this out he took the matter up with Charles E. Chase of Hartford, presi- dent of the state chamber, and that the latter advised the committee to deal direct with the Sharon cham Der.
 The News printed several months ago an article regarding the Jewish situation in Sharon, which evidently started when a certain property was bought by Jews for a summer boarding house. The residents not desiring such neighbors held a meeting at which it was decided that the Chamber of Commerce buy the property.
 According to the above, certain Jews are not satisfied with such treatment and will demand a reason for it.

CoNSULTS JUDGE WARNER
Regarding Blue Ribbon Garage
 Attachment of $15O,0OO

John Smith, lawyer at Bridge port representing the Blue Ribbon garage of that city, Consulted Judge Donald T. Warner at his home in Salisbury Thursday afternoon and the judge made a citation and as- signed hearing for chambers in Winsted next week in the suit of Abraham Hagler, of Bridgeport, against the Blue Ribbon garage.
 MT. Hagler has instituted suit against the Blue Ribbon garage and has attached the property for $150,- 900. The garage asks that the att tachment be reduced and that bond be substituted for the attachment. The suit is based upon the alleged failure of the garage to deliver Hagler 20 Packard jitney busses. The claim of the garage is that the attachment is excessive and-the suit vexatious and that Hagler had no good reason for bringing the suit The motion for the reduction of the attachment and the substitution of d bond will be heard before Judge Warner in Winsted next week.

J.

MT. Roraback reported for duty yesterday morning at republi- can state headquarters at the Allyn house, after week at Belgrade Lakes, Me, and professed absolute ignorance as to the latest in the political line. His fishing activities kept him out of touch with the sit uation, he said, and all he knew about the conveption was that the date had been set, which fact was known a long time ago. The bass were biting, too, by fhe way, ac- cording to ]. Henry.-Hartford Times. t
