ELDERLY MAN KILLED
 WHILE ON WAY HOME

Benjamin Lamb was almost instantly killed late Wednesday afternoon on the trolley bridge over the railroad cut at Noank when he was struck by a trolley car bound towards Mystic in charge of Motorman James Ashby and Conductor Frances Frank.
 MT, Lamb was on his way home and was seen by Moto-man Ashby walking Up tle path which runs from the wait ing room in Main street to the end of the overhead bridge. The motorman sup posed that Mr Lamb would step to the abuttment on the south end of the bridge to allow the car to pass, but instead he stepped on the bridge and mad only made two or three steps before the car struck him.
 MT. Lamb was thrown to one side of the bridge but fortunately dN not go down between the ties to the railroad bank below. As a train had just passed on the tracks below under the bridge it is supposed that the noise kept MT Lamb from hearing the approaching trolley car. Dr. w. NJ. Hill was sum- moned and found MT. Lamb alive, but he died a few minutes after the phys icians arrival
 Mr. Lamb. who was about years old was a life long resident of the vilI- 1 age and one of the old time fishermen

FEW SWEET POTATOES
 GROWN IN THIS STATE

Of all the New England states Con- necticut is the only one that makes a pretense at growing sweet potatoes and yams, although the 316 bushels of sweeties raised in 1919 barely suf1ced to satisfy the thousands at Connecticut clambakes. Tae yield in 1913 was quite a drop from the 4,13S bushels raised in this state in 1903, according to the 1920 census figures, for the census sleuths of the department of commerce found only nine acres thus cultivated in 1919 as against forty one acres in 1909.
 In Connecticut 1S,3eo acres yielded L. 372.44s bushels of potatoes in 1919, ac- cording to the census report, as against 2S,s50 acres and 2,sS4414 busoels in 1908. The decrease in the acreage was true of all the New England states.
