TRADE AccEPTA.:1es.

An interesting experiment is being
tried by hosiery company in urging
its buyers to make use of trnde accept
ances. II is explained to these buyers
that they may III this way save one
half of ] per cent on their purchases.
There is no doubt that 1t would be
much better TO have the plan of ac-
ceptances take the place of the open
account system wherever this is prac-
tlcable, says New York Times. 1t
means that when person buys goods
on credit he shall give his note TO the
seller, who then may indorse the same
and turn Il over to his bank and OBJ
tain the money which it represents for
nse in his business If needed. This be-
ing two.name paper, may be then re-
discounted by federal reserve bank
II the original bank needs the funds
for further use. The one-half per cent
represents the preference given to two
name over single-name paper. The use
Of acceptances is more likely also to
result In prompt collections, because
the average debtor is more apt to re-
spond quickly to q notice from bank
than he is 10 one from a mercantile
house. Whether the experiment now
In progress will succeed is ACQUISITION.
1t is difficult to change the trade hab-
its of years, but, if it can be done at
all, the present time is most propitiOus.
The market for many articles is now in
the sellers favor, and buyers are will
ins; to put themselves to some incon
venience If they can be assured Of
prompt deliveries on their orders. Once
the new custom is established it win
continue.

Killed Wild Cat in Combat

Louis Doncaster of Hartsville, Mass, killed a wild cat with hat chet near his home early Saturday morning after hand-to-hand battle. Doncaster started out with a hatchet and his dog to look at a few traps that he had set near the house. He had gone only short distance when the sharp barking of his dog attract ed his attention, and thinking that the dog might have possibly corner ed rabbit, he went to see what the trouble was.
 As soon as the animal saw Don caster approaching it turned it's at tention to him and 4ttacked him. Doncaster was equal to the occasion and met the charge of .he infuriated animal with the hatchet and soon had it lying dead at his feet. The eat is one of the largest seen here in some time.

REFUSE TO ARBITRATE
Norfolk School Transportation Con-
 trowersy is no Nearer Solution

Prof. M. I. Pupin, A. s. G. Taylor and William O'Connor, comprising the committee named by the town to arbitrate the differences existing be- tween the school board and E. A. Lucier concerning an agreement with regard to the transportation of school children to Gilbert school in Winsted, have reported that their efforts were to no avail, due to the refusal of the school board to submit to proposed arbitration. The com mittee's report in full follows: ''To the voters of the township of
 Norfolk.
 "The undersigned committee was authorized at, the town meeting of Nov. to arbitrate between the school board of the town and MT. Lucier with regard to an agreement between the school board and MT. Lucier, an agreement relating to the transportation of our school children to the Gilbert high school in Winsted. The object of this arbitration was to settle the differences of opinion between the school board and MT. Lucier, and to provide more adequate transportation facilities for our children.
 ''The committee finds that MT. Lucier is willing to submit to pro- posed arbitration and the school board is not. The committee is, therefore, unable to proceed any farther in this nlattec and herewith refers it again to the people of Nor folk. "The Committee. M. |. Pupin, Chairman, A. s. G.

The 1920 Christmas Seal. Campaign

The North Canaan Visiting Nurse Association is cooperating with The Connecticut Tuberculosis Commis- sion in their Christmas Seal Cam paign and we are urging the people of this town to give their hearty support to ths worthy cause. This campaign is primarily for tubercu- losis and the preventive work among the school children. .... -.. /.
 It is of prime importance, there fore, to explain and emphasize the following two salient features of the sale.
 l. It is the greatest life saving campaign of the year. More lives are at stake in it than any other in every individual community, in the state and nation.
 2. It is for every community To- cal campaign. Practically all the money used remains in the commun- ity where it is raised. The seals will be sold by the school children, at Parsons store and also at booth at the post office. ''Tis the season of Christmas of joy
 and good cheer,
 Christmas seals mean all this and
 much more,
 For they spread the glad gospel ot Health far and near, Fight our foe Dread Disease through
 out all the year,
 To Life's sunshine they open the door,"

 Tierney, Et Al

The case of the state vs. Tierney and others was resumed Tuesday morning in superior court promptly at 10 o'clock at Winsted, Howard F. Lawrence was recalled to the stand by the state and proved to be their last witness.

The state closed it's case at Il :20 and short recess was taken.
 After the recess the jury was ex- cluded from the room while Mr. Hol- den for the defense made lengthy argument that certain testimony in regard to the reputed ownership of the sheds be stricken out.

 The jury was dismissed until 10 o'clock Wednesday morning.

DEPARTMENTS LEAGUE
 REDUCES MILK PRICE
Borden's Company Passes Re- duction to the
 Consumer

The Dairymen's League Directors have voted to sell December milk for $3.18. This is for milk testing 8 per cent butter fat at the 200-210 mile zone with the usual differentials for freight and butter fat.
 Although for fifteen years, it has been the custom, because of increas- ing costs of producing December milk to sell it for more than Novem- Der milk, yet this years December price will be Al cents a hundred or one cent quart cheaper than the November price. The Directors found that the majority of sentiment among members of the organization was for lower prices and that such lowered price should be passed on to the customer. This is in line with what is taking place in the prices of all other products and commodities, and it is thought it will tend to in- crease the consumption of milk at a time when there is a surplus in League territory due to the fact that much of the milk which formerly went to manufacturers is not now being sold. --.- .....s ..... ..r
 , Borden's Farm Products Com pafy have announced that they would pass the full reduction on to the consumer. It is expected that other distributors will do the same.
 Even at this reduced price, the manufacturing dealers who have refused to buy milk since October 1st will probably not buy milk of the Dairymen's League during De- cember. AS proof of the fact that these companies are not so much interested in not buying milk as they are in trying to break the farmers organization, they are now, particu- larly the Nestle's Food Company, offering to buy milk of farmers in many sections at full League prices, providing the farmer will deal with them as an individual and not through his organization.

Summary of Disease in Connecticut

Scarlet fever, measles and whoop- ing cough are holding their own and show no signs of decreasing.
 One new outbreak of diphtheria developed in Bristol during the week. The excellent work of health officers and physicians in detecting diph- theria germ carriers in schools and families has caused a definite state wide decrease in diphtheria cases the past four weeks.
 Influenza has appeared on the scene again, 28 cases being reported but it is not expected, and there are no signs of, an outbreak of this dis ease.
