DR.. Ernest Freymiller, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Louis Freymiller of Marion
while attending the state university
at Madison, mixed a good deal with
the Asiatic students, and as result
several of them spent their summer
vacation at the Freymiller home. One
was Chinaman, who came OUT two
seasons, another was a Filipino. This
year another young Chinese, James
H. G. Lu, was on the Freymiller farm
to get the practical experience to
supplement the theoretical knowledge
obtained at the University. He is
taking the four year agricultural
course, and is one Of the students sent
over here for that purpose by the
Chinese government. The Freymil-
ler's think a good deal of the boys and
in their association and intercourse
together have acquired enough pro-
uCICuCy Ill tuC SlI1lICOS 81
that they can carry on quite con-
versation with you now in Chinese.
Sometimes a trivial thing is the
cause of an accident or fatality. And
again, on the other hand, some lucky
circumstance, or occurrence, apparent
ly trifling in itself, may save a person
from disaster. Will Zimmerman had
an experience Of the latter kind Fri
day. On his way to Boscobel with a
truck load of feed, he was overtaken
by the storm, and took refuge in a
partially completed tobacco shed of
John Houses Noticing that the wind
had partly blown off the canvas COW
ering on his load he left the shed to
put the canvas cover back in place
again, and just as he stepped out OF
the shed the building went down with
a crash, having been blown to pieces
by the wind. That was certainly a
narrow escape. Will must have been
born under lucky star, for this is
the third time in his life he was saved
from dire results by the morest
chance.-Times.

BAY STATE AFTER
 RACE TRACK POOLS
Hartford Man Fined for Gaming and Assaulting Deputy
 Sheriff.
By Charles Sughsoe
 c WeResn Ne~apapes Unins

Greenfield, Aug, 5.-After a hear, ing lasting five hours, Judge Field found "Andy" Sullivan, otherwise known as James Jenkins of Hartford guilty of being present at an illegal registering of bets and also guilty of an assault on Deputy Sheriff Michael w. Carroll of Millers Falls. On the first charge he imposed a fine of $25 and on the second $1oo. Sullivan was found not guilty of being the keeper of poolroom.
 The hearing grew out of raid and arrest at Franklin Park last Thurs day at the Short Ship races, lnstl- gated by the Watch and Ward So- ciety. Witnesses for the government told of being handled roughly, their clothing torn and Officer Carroll drew his revolver and threatened to shoot.
 Witnesses for the defense said they saw no evidences of pool selling; that all of the men making the raids were in citizens clothes; most of them drew their revolvers and used clubs and that they thought the officers were afraid of their lives. When the warrant was read no more resistance was made.

STATE LEWIS TAX
 OF $l,Sl2,OOO ON CORPORATIONS FUND

Tax Commissioner Blodgett this week levied tax of $I,8I2 2,ooI.3 .3o, rep resenting the corporation net income tax on companies doing business in this state This is decrease of $574,318.37 on the tax levied on Au- gust I, 1920. It was said that the tax, considering the business depres- sion, was a good showing. It is pay able on or before September I.
 The figures filed by Commissioner Blodgett with the state treasurer show a decrease of more than $28,- 900, 900 in the taxable net income of corporations attributable to business done in Connecticut The tax figures are shown in the following table:
 Corporations having taxable in comes: 1921, 2,oo2 1920, 2,I63.

AN AID
 IN ALL EMERGENCIES

The telephone can be made an inval- uable aid in emergencies if 1t is properly used. It is used many times daily in sunmOning help III cases of laWlessness, accident and fire and is, in fact, the only means of quickly securing the po- lice and hremen in some of our small communities. But many persons, by inn proper use of the telephone, are deprived of the prompt aid 1t can bring.
 In case of an emergency in which the hremen, policemen or a physician may be needed, keep cool. Or if you can't keep cool, just keep as cool as you can and reach for your telephone.
 Give your call for help to the operator in such way that your need will be understood. Don't simply shout Help" and then drop the instrument The operator will not know what sort of help you want
 The right way to summon help is to say, for example: q want to report a fire" 'I want policeman" T want an ambulance"
 If you are compelled to leave the tel ephone before your call is answered, be sure to tell the operator where the help is wanted
 The little lady at the telephone will then deliver your plea for help But to do so, she must know what is wanted and where 1t is wanted
 lf you follow this method the tele- phone will render the service you have right to expect of it. But proper use of the instrument is your part of the service

BOSS PRINTERS NOW
 ADMIT "OPEN SHOP" BARS ALL UNION MEN
Official Organ Reveals Real Purpose of American Plan" to
 Those in Ring.

The. anti-union crusade of industrial autocracv rhasquerading under the name of "open shop" alias the "lndependent American Shop" alias the American Plan." has thus far deceived the pubic by protesting that the "open shop idea was calculated to give both union and union men a square deal and safe guard the rights of the employer. The spokesmen of organized labor have con tended that the real purpoes was to crush the labor unions and to. bar all un1on men from employment.
 Now comes the Bulletin of the Elm blowing Printers of America, with the unequivocal statement that the "open shop" or American Plan" means a shop where no union members whatsoever are employed. Here is the brutally frank admission.
 "'One rotten apple in barrel of good ones will soon rot the whole lot. A few tonic germs of labor union allegiance remaining in a printing plant will soon undermine the morale and destroy the loyalty of the whole working force.
 "So fanatically do the unions pursue their policy of proselyting that even few union members in a shop constitute a dangerous nucleus for the spawning of trouble.
 "Perhaps because misery loves com Danv, union members in open shops us- ually bring to bear upon free employees the pressure of noxious outside influences and frequently succeed in terrorizing them into submission to labor union peOn- age.
 "The employer who makes a fight for the freedom of an open shop and there after admits union members to the pay roll, ere long will find 1t necessary to enter teh struggle again just where he began.
 If he gives up to make the best terms he can with the union agents, it simply means that ultimately they will run the business and he may be permitted to re- main as the office boy.
 "The conception of the open shop as one which admits labor union members as well as independent work1nen sthere- fore impracticable because such an open shop is open to union attacks and con- version into a closed shop.
 "The open shop without discrimina- tion between free men and union mem such an open shop in actual practise does
 
 ployer and employees from the aggres- sions of labor unionism.
 Any type of an open shop is of course immeasurably better than closed union shop, and the nearly 900 printing con- cerns that have announced their inten- ton of operating open shops are to be congratulated on this vigorous declara- tion of their independence.
 But the price of liberty is eternal vigilance and we would like to see full thousand more printing firms adopt a policy that will positively enable them permanently to maintain their indepen- denCe.
 "The only sure way to keep a plant from becoming cankered with labor unionism is to operate an Independent American Shop where no union mem- bers are emploped and all workmen are engaged under the Aermican Plan''
 There is no istaking of the meaning of this creed Organized labor owes the Printers of America, vote of thanks for the powerful argument they have unwittinglv furnished against the Open Shop"

TO START MEMORIAL FUND FOR LATE
 MICHAEL i. DORIAN, REAL SPORTSMAN
Meriden Man Noted for His Fair and Honest Methods to Be Held Up | as Example for Future.

Connecticut men active in sports, were saddened to learn of the death of Michael T. Doran of Meriden a few days ago and several of those who were intimately acquainted with Mike" in the days gone by were at tendants at his funeral Monday morning.
 Mike" Doran, for such was the name that everybody knew him by, was known as an upright, honest and square sportsman. He was one ot the founders of the LenoN Athletic club i'll Meriden and ever in the fore, regardless the branch of sport, when a helping hand was needed. Although he had been i'll for some years his death was a shock to his many friends. He failed rapidly, however, and passed away quickly. With his going, Connecticut sportsdom loses one of the most staunch supporters of all that was clean and above board.
 Start Memorial Fund.
 His friends and former co-work- CTS in Meriden have started move ment to collect memorial fund to defray the expenses of a memorial sufficiently large to indicate the warm place he held in the hearts of all resi- dents of Silver City It will be known as the "M. T. Doran Memorial Fund"
 The former collector of internal revenue, James T. Walsh, is the pres ident of the movement; the Rev. Dr. John Neale, pastor of St. Roses church, is treasurer; and Francis I. Mulloney, formerly sporting editor of the Meriden Record, is secretary. Contributions can be sent to any of the officers named, preferably the treasurer or secretary, or to the sporting editor of the Meriden Rec ord, and prompt acknowledgment will be made to the donors.
 The sporting page is no place for obituaries, nor yet memoriams, 1t would not be fitting to close this brief mention of the big, large-hearted, honest Mike" Doran without saying that he took the toughest break of his too-short life with a smile on his lips and not even a murmur of com plaint-the manner in which he had always lived.
