OVER 500 MONTANA VETERANS
ARE ELIGIBLE FOR TRAINING

With 100 World War veterans re-
ceiving vocational training from the
government in Montana, 40 or SO
more will be sent to the institutions
comprising the University of Mon
tana next week, says Lief Fredericks,
vocational supervisor in Montana,
who has his headquarters in Helena.
In addition to this number, nearly
500 others have been declared elig-
fble for training. Many of these
have requested that their training be
deferred; some have refused train
ing; while others have not yet been
able to decide what course or trade
they wish to take up. Scores, how
ever, are merely waiting for the
schools to open before commencing
their vocational studies.
A number of important changes
have been made in the rules under
which the vocational board operates,
states Mr. Fredericks. The most sig
nificant change is that which places
the entire responsibility of stu
dents training and final rehabilita-
ton upon the state office.
Formerly the selection of course
and subsequent changes had to be
approved by the Minneapolis office
before being placed in effect. This
is no longer the case. The Helena
office will have complete jurisdiction
over men In training, with full au-
thority to change or extend courses
as seems necessary. Closer supervi-
sion and better and quicker service
to the men will result from the new
rule.
Under the new procedure the du-
ties of the state office will be great
ly increased and additional training
officers will probably be needed in
the opinion of Mr.. Fredericks. Since
the first day Of July trainers have
been receiving minimum allowance
OF 800 a month from the board in
stead of $50 as before.

Coal in Argentina.

In Commerce Reports it is noted that on July a project was placed before the San Antonio State Railway to con- tinue that line to Manuel Haupi and thence south about 200 kiloemtters (kilo- meter equals 0.62 mle) to Lake Epuyen, in the territory of Chubut, for the pur pose of opening up the Eduyen coal fields Direct connection with the Atlantic port of San Antonio would thus be made pos sible. After a hearing in the chamber of deputies this project was referred to the communications and transport.
 The line, if built. would cross coun- try densely covered with woods suita- ble for paper making and for building purposes. All the sleepers needed for the construction of the road could be cut on the spot, while the many noun tain streams would affort plenty of wa ter for electric installation. Morer yer. the terrotory through which the new line would pass is already colenized 10 a certain extent. IL has many prosper ous colonies" and ranches, several of the latter possessing more than 100000 sheep Mir. Brady. the trade commission er states that if this project is car ried out connection will also be made from San Antonio to Pathagones on the Ferrocarril Pacifico in order to have through real connection from the coal fields to Buenos Aires.

NORWICH FISHERMEN ENJOY
 PICNIC AT GARDNER's LAKE

The Norwich Fishermen's associa- tion which was organized a few months ago held a picnic at Gardner's Lake on Sunday which was attended by most of it's sixty members and before the day was over had added fifteen names more. The day was ideal for the outing and every one of the half hundred men pres ent expressed themselves as highly pleas ed with the informal programme arranged by the committee.
 Pesident A. C. Brown rendered the use Of his boats to the club members and tf1e~ morning was spent by most of them in angling for bass but no great catches were reported, although there were some rewards for the zealous deyotees of the rod anl line.
 In the afternoon a fine clam chowder with green corn and musiSmeIon on the side, was served by George Park and was a popular feature of the day. One of the interesting events of the day was the demonstration of the surf board by c. V. Pendleton and Roy Fillmore as they were lowed around in the lake in the wake of MT. Browns speed launch. In a brief programme of water events, Herbert and Fillmore won the canoe race and Herbert was the winner of the boat race.
 President Brown, MT. Pendleton and Joseph L. Oat were the committee who carried out the successful outing while automobile owners among the member ship furnished the transportation to and from the lake to the city.

IS,69I IMMIGRANTS AT
 ELLIS ISLAND LAST WEEK


 New York, Aug. 29,-Arrival here of 1S,691 aliens during the week ended yes- terday broke all immigration records at Ellis Island since before the war. 1nspec- aions of 15,43S of them were completed up to this morning, with S.253 yet to be passed upon.
 Probably the worst congestion in the history of the immigration station con- fronted Ellis Island authorities tonight, when considerably more than 2.o00 must be housed and fed.
 In statement tonight Commissioner of Immigration Wallis said:
 Judging from information received from steamship agents l must conclude that next week will bring more aliens to New York than the record breaking fig nres of this week. Every ship is coming loaded and some big steerage carrying vessels are due to arrive. From now on it will be merely a mat ter of ships. Hundreds of thousands of people in various parts of Europe are clamoring for a chance to come to Amer ica. The passport regulations, although restricting in their nature and operations, are having nothing to do with the num- Der of immigrants, for there are thou sands more who qualify with passports l than our limited number ef ships can bring here"

Mrs. Abbey tells an interesting story about her condition that will appeal to the many stomach sufferers. She says:-
 T have suffered for a long time from indigestion and it put me ir such weak condition that I could hardly do my house work. In connec- tion with this trouble I suffered from severe constipation. After eating. nc matter how little, I became dreadfully distressed with nagging pains. would bloat up with gas and my stomach would sour. After three bot ties of CINOT all of these symptoms disappeared, and today I am "a well woman and owe it all to the Tonic CINOT."

FARM BUREAU WORKS IN
 LINE WITH PEOPLES VII


 Of late many people have been asking What is the New London County Farm Bureau?" What does it dor" "What { does it amount to-" With these aues- tions before US it may be well to answer few of these questions, says the Farm Bureau headquarters.
 At the outset let it be said, it is an organization such as it's name implses Working toward the development of a better agriculture, better rural life better homes, and increased interest on the part of both old and young in rural problems. But some one will say that is a big program. What is actual ly being done and how is it done?" Let us answer this inquiry before proceeding Last fall a number of poultry culiing demonstrations were held in fifteen diff ferent communities of the county. The county agricultural agent who is one of the paid workers of the farm bureau assisted the people in these different communities in making arrangements to secure poultry specialist from the col lege and in advertising these meetings. At the demonstrations, each one present had an opportunity to handle the birds, to learn by the points given by the spe- cialist why this bird is good layer with chances of laying 40 to 15o eggs q poor layer with probable egg yield during the coming year less than enough to pay for the grain consumed. These peo- pie then went home and cuiled their own poultry foeks and 1t is safe to say that many hundreds of hens that had planned to spend the winter in idleness and ease were summarily called to a strict account, most of them meeting in violent death and subsequent disposal to the butcher. Better hens-more eggs" as a result of poultry culIing demonstration work which will be con tinued this fall on more intensive basis than ever before.
 Poultry, however. is only small part next two months m tings will b.. held in the different towns of the confity to find out what projects are of interest to the people. A peoples programme" is what the Farm Bureau is based upon not upon any program made up by the college, the county agent. the home den- onstration agent, or even the executive committee. The officers of the farm bu. reau and board of directors want to know in what the people are interested in the county and have instructed the county agent and home demonstration agent to proceed accordingly That is why the farm bureau is beginning to mean much to the men in Waterford. They gathered at farm bureau meet ing, lined up programme and then got busy. To be sure, they are making use of the county agent but he is not the one that is doing all the work, as many peo- pie suppose is the. way farm bureau work is being carried out. Paid farm bureau workers are hireds not to get people to carry oat their (the agents') htrf fn ciek l. ferent communities to carry out a real communities to carry out a real com nhunity program chosen by the people themselves. That is exactly what the New London county farm bureau is do- ing at the present time-lining up com munity programs from which eventual ly a county wide program of work may

NO CRIMINAL BLAME

1
 Coroner Stephen B. Davis. of Middle town, cannot find by the evidence suffi- cient cause to warrant holding any per- son responsible for the grade crossing accident of June 1, at Saybrook, which cost the life of Mrs. Eva Granger and injured several others, some of them so seriously that it took weeks for recoV- cry. One of the injured persons, J. w. Rogers, son of Mrs Harriet Rogers of 47 Pearl street, Norwich was a patient al the Baelzus hospital for many weeks.
 The coroner finds that the engineer and fireman are positive that the whistle was sounded and the bell ringing. The occupants of the bus, which was clos that they heard neither whistle nor the bell
 With no other witnesses to decide be- tween these conflicting statements the | coroner is unable to say that any one person. or any persons, were criminal lly negligent in act of omission The follow. ing is the finding:
 l "On the noreing of June 1, 1920, ar auto bus loaded with passengers anc driven by Dwight Merriell, was on it 1 way from Old Saybrook to Deep River 1 where the passengers were employed in l factory.
 l This was an everyday journey an,
 the driver of the auto was well ac 1 quainted with the crossing on the rail road where the accident happened ''On this morning there was a trai
 of cars on track which shut off fo
 some distance the view of the trac on which the train was coming
 'The driver of the truck kept on hi
 way over the crossing and had nearl
 passed it when the oncoming traf
 struck the auto with the result that Mrs
 Granger was killed and every one i the bus severely injured.
 Tn this case the engineer and fire
 man of the train were positive that tn bell was rung and the whistle sounde
 as usual when approaching the crossing "On the other hand, the occupants Q the auto were equally positive that the
 did not hear ar signals to warn tha
 train was coming
 1 From the responsibility of the wit 1 nesses and the willingness of each on
 to answer any and all questions, I d
 not doubt that the warning signals wer given, but were not heard, and I do no 1 find that there is evidence of criruina l act, omission or carelessness suficien 1 to warrant the holding of any perso1 1 or persons to answer for said death"

who served the most All through his- tory we see the lack of material of the church. When Christianity first became organized, greedy men tried to take it for their own gains. The best example of the power of God is the fact that through the centuries it has existed and overcome the handicaps
 We need the power now as much as ever if not more in these rapidly chang ing times. There have been those who have been called foolish. When Booth started that organization, the Salvation Army, he was called foolish to attempt such thing. Look at the blessing this organization has been to humanity. Fifty years ago anyone who said that some day this country would be without saloon would have been called insane. But look at the country today, the sa- loon has gone forever. It was the pow 1 CT of God that did it. Prohibition was brought about through the power of
 God. If~was the result of the persistent Ihamrnering of Christian people that l freed this land from the saloon
 Oar forefathers would never have un- dertaken the tasks that confront the | church of today. Take the evangelical
 movement, the ChristiantziRg of China, all these have loaded us down yet we
 go on, slowly, but always ahead. We ! need more power
 | Christ has promised us this power l There is power in the sunshine, in the wind and tides, in fact the world itself | is great unit of power But this is l only physical power Christ is the great spiritual power. He is the power through which we attain great heights The ways to power are many. There is the way of service, the fellowship of l devotion and worship. Everyone needs l to find his own way to power. We are all different and no fixed rule can be 1 followed by all of us to gain this power we must find it for ourselves. There is
 this power, we need it, we have been
 promised it and there is a way to 1t,
 and may God help each one of us to find this great and all absorbing power.

PROHIBITION PROOF OF GODS POWER

Prohibition was brought about by Nthe power of God" said Rev. Chester Howe of New London in a forceful ser mon on the Power of God at the Central Baptist church on Sunday evening It was through the power of God and the constant hammering of the Christisn people that freed this land of the saloon, said the speaker.
 Rev. MT. Howe filled the pulpit in the absence of the pastor, Rev. A. F. Pur- kiss, on his vacation, and said in part:
 Have you ever observed how keen the advertising man is to read human na- ture? How he, in his advertisements appeals to certain qualities in this hu- man makeup. Take the automobile ad- vertisemenfs in our current periodicals Some appeal to the sense of exclusive ness. others appeal to the public because of the chfapness of operation. But have you ever noticed the one quality which all make strong mention of the quality of power. Everyone wants plenty of power.
 As in the automobile, there is a cer- tain factor in the Christian religion that appeals and that is the power of God We have this promise of power. We find evidences of it all through the Bible. In the 10th chapter of Isaiah we find the promise of power, again in Paufs letter to the Romans we find this promise Paul in his letter said that the gospel was the power of God. He had been trained by this power and it had made him content under all circumstances. l want to speak tonight on the fact the need, the promise and the way to power. The fact that the power is there is evident all through the New Testa- ment. When we look through it We find the lack of material that Christ had to work with. His disciples were ordinary human beings, they had their faults. Pe- ter was quick tempered and his faith was easily shaken. The disciples were always quarreling over who was the greatest among them Christ. time and again, told them the greatest was he
