HARTFORD STEAMER IS
 STUCK FAST IN RIVER
May Have to Remain Out in Channel Until Spring
 time Comes Again.

Hartford, Jan. 25.-This morning was the coldest of the winter thus far here The weather bureaus mark was one below zero.
 The steamer Hartford of the Hart ford and New York Transportation Go. line has been frozen fast in the Connecticut river just north of the South Glastonbury dock and about 10 miles below this city, since Monday evening. She left here at D. m. Monday on her trip to New York but got no farther than the point named when the heavy ice stopped her. The zero weather soon anchored her hard and fast. Early this morning efforts were started to cut the steamer loose.
 The steamer had stopped at the Glastonbury dock and taken a large quantity of freight aboard. Included in this was q shipment of silverWarc from the Williams Mfg. Co. consigned to South America and destined to leave New York Wednesday. Should it not reach there in time the com pany says it will mean a heavy loss.
 There were only five passengers aboard the steame-. Two of these, boys, trusted to the ice and got ashore this morning making their way home by trolley. The ice IS rom IO lnCnSS tliCk HOTlHdlly but is badly broken and damned.
 The tug Spartan left Saybrook Point this morning on her way up in an effort to break her way to the steamer. There were doubts at the office at noon, however, whether she would be able to make it. There is no tug at this end. 1t was said to be not unlikely that the stea mer was frozen fast for the win ter and would not be released until spring. '-

THE ROAD TO HOME.

"The road is wide and the stars ale
out and the breath of night II
sweet,
And this is the time when wanderlust
should seize upon my feet,
But Pm glad to turn from the open
road and the starlight on my
face,
And leave the splendor of out-of-
doors for II human dwelling
place.
"And the only reason road is good,
as every wandercr knows,
Is just because Of the homes, the
homes, the homes to which 1t
goes.
"They say life is highway and It's
milestones are the years,
And now and then there's toll
gate,
where you pay your way with
tears.
It's rough road and n steep road
and it stretches broad and far,
But it leads ut last to Golden Town,
where Golden Houses are"

WAGE REDUCTIONS.

Notwithstanding the bad condi-

that there can be no further reduc.
ton in wages. If that is the case
we may as well abondon our export

that will bring no relief to the ,n,-
employed. And if wages and other

This is no fault Of the manufac-

but the farmers who dominate the
situation, because Of the tremendous
fall in the prices of agricultural
products, and the consequent reduc-

NO OUT-OF-TOWN ADVERTISING
WANTED.

stands in Il class by itself, so far as
heard from. in this that il does nos
only not solicit, but turns down ali
applications for advertising from out
of-town business that comes in com
petition with the business of tn,
home merchants The Editor of the
Record says in part:
$50 far, the Record has not been
compelled to take outlof-town adj.
vertising in order that it might CON
tinue to live and do business, al
though on the other hand, we have
absolutely turned down advertising
from out-of-town institutions that
we know would have taken hundreds
OF dollars worth of business from
here. "keep the money ut home" has
ever been the slogan of the Record
yet when we are not accorded that
which is due us, it is rather bit
ter dose to refuse to take outside
business, and only loyalty to our
town and merchants keep us from SO
doing, but the same spirit Of loyalty
is not evidenced towards us my many
whom we have favored and accom-
modatcd. Business in Wynona is sick,
but the services of Doctor Advertise
ing apparently are not desired. Trade
is going from Yynona every day on
account Of this lack Of invitation
Other towns and merchants are ex-
tending the invitation that Wynona
should extend, and the out-of-t town
invitation is being eagerly accepted
Business and trade are both right
here, but if you are too Indifferent
to go after it, or make an attempt
to secure it, you have no one 10
blame but yourself. Do your bit
spend a few pennies with the 9TH
er fellow in legitimate advertising,
inviting the buying public to trade
in Wynona and you vii soon see
most pleasing difference"
The Record is weekly paper, 81 90
Il year. 1t is conjccturcd that possibly
the Editor is drawing on his oil
stocks to support his paper, else the
people Of Wynona are "a peculiar
people" a weekly paper depending
entirely upon home patronage would
live and have its being just so long
as the Editors private surplus held
out. But is the editor doing the best
thing for its readers, the customers.
