 The Stafford Boys club is an incor-
 porated society and well equipped to ! care for both the social and physical 1 well-being of our young men. The i club rooms were opened for the winter season on Saturday of last week. During the week few Improvements
 were added. The reading room has been enlarged and new failings have been placed around the outside of the building The building is owned by | the society. It is fully equipped and serves it's purpose in an admirable manner. The only essentials missing are an adequate heating system, coup led with a shower room. It is hoped that in the near future the club will be able to add these necessities. When these are added it is believed that teams from out of town of high caliber may be induced to play with our local boys and that our. local athletes will then be more numerous. There were over fifty members in at tendance on Monday night of this week. The older men miss Pete" Reynolds. His place is being capably filled by. Edward Greene.
 Two weeks ago. Charlie Lee left his laundry business which he had been conducting for some time in Stafford Springs. At the time he left he re- marked that he would be back in three weeks or, send some one in his place. few days later a fellow countryman arrived in town and inspected the store in Gary's block and gave every indication that he would continue the business left by MT. Lee. However he left without telling anyone he was going After two days had passed no one knew what had become of Charlie Lees successor. Tenants in the build ing and George Gary grew apprehen- sive and decided an investigation was in order. Accordingly officer Thomas Hayes was called and the desired in spection conducted. No information was gained, no property of any great value found and nothing was seen of the man from China. Frank GOrvick had moved his tailoring business from the Kuslansky block to the store in the Gary block. For the first time in twenty-five years Stafford Springs is without a Chinese laundry.
