Nr. FiShernan: Did yeu knew that req are liable to be arrested for catching has out of Lake ChagaumauE, otherwise lnswn as Ola Killingly pond, near East Sfilingiy?
 Startled. eh? But it is a fact. never theiess. Sounds rather peculiar to set up a claim like this when every fisher ulsn knows that July 1 brought the open season for bass, and that Chaubaunazng s not forbidden fishing ground. 1al
 Chances of arrest are due to the fact that part Of the lake is in Rhode Island and part of it is in Connecticut. Under sn act of the legislature just adjourn cd fshinE licenses are going to be required Connecticut, and fishing licenses are equired in Rhode Island, so the Connec- ieut citizen who happens to row over on e tho Rhode Island part of the lake axes the risk of being arrested, accord uE to County Game Warden Harry F. 5attey, who also is a federal game war len with jurisdiction in Rhode Island as sell as in Connecticut.
 Warden B3ttey has not threatened to arrest anybody, but the fisherman who gets over on the Rhode Island side of he lake will be taking chances, just the lame, for any Rhode Island fish and game official may summon a violator of he license law into court.

 Some time after closing hours Wednes- day night, a theft of one package of cigarettes valued at $16o was made from the store of Felix Lamonthe, corner of Providence and School street. This was discovered Thursday morning when the store was opened for the day, and it was found that a wiHdow had been broken. Tae lower corner had been knocked out, and the carton oi smokes removed from a shelf that was within arms reach. The building itself was not entered. An au- tomobiie wrench was found under the broken window. and the police believe that a passing automobile party desiring cigarettes took this manner of getting them.
 Many automobile parties from Putnam were at Roseland lake in Woodstock Thursday afternoon, tne clerks half hol- iday. It was one of the muggiest. and lake bath houses did tremendous busi- ness.
 At the July meeting of the Putnam city council a building permit was grant ed to Felix Lanonthe for a T7x20 store at the corner of Schol and Providence streets. .T understand that this build ing is already up," suggested one of the city fz-thers. q wonder what would hap pen if we should refuse the permit" :" q ~uess it would be vzEte of time refusing" said Mayor Allie v.

 Tremendous forest fires raging in the
 province of Quebec and northern Ontario are accredited with being responsible fer the peculiar smoky haze that has over hung this section of eastern Connecticut
 for the past three days and through which haze the sun has shone like a
 shimmering red ball. Observers of weather conditions say that this phe- nomena has been observed upon numer-
 ous aecesions in the past when great , forest fires have been sweeping over hundreds of square miles of northern woodlands.
 It has seemed peculiar to many that the sun should shcw through clouds in such a strange manner as for the past three days, but it IS attributed to the smoke and fine particles of carbon thrown of in such great volume by for est fires that are repsrted as threaten | ing to wipe out whole Villages in north

 Humanity, already sSeely tried by the

 sort of wea.hermzn. With the mercury
 standing at s4 in DanieaSon, there was
 not breath of air stirring, and the hu- midity was nearly sufficient to melt the bronze statue cr Davis park, although no such calamity had been reported up to early evening.
 Business forces released from their duties in the boroughs stores for their first half holiday of the season were grateful for the respite from work, but chsgrined because the heat was so in-
 tense that an effort to go anywhere for
 an outing was almost too much to be considered.

THE TEACHERS OPPORTUNITY

The strength of the Unit ed States depends upon the practical patriotism and the sound economic thoughts o1 her future citizens. Thest characteristics must be de veloped in the daily life O. the school.
 Economists agree that the universal adoption of habits of intelligent saving will strengthen our nation tre, mendously. When every wage earner has a reserve fund of money the country will be sound economically, socially and politically.
 The teacher who encour' ages pupils to earn money tc invest in thrift and war say, ing stamps is doing much fol their economic strength ana practical patriotism.
 Each child who buys the stamps feels a partnership in the government; he learns the wisdom of investing his money in securities that are absolutely safe; he becomes familiar in a. practical way with compound interest; and he sticks stamp after stamp upon the card, he has a wis., ual demonstration Of how savings grow.
 Faith without work is dead. Thrift without safe in- vestment such as govern ment savings securities, is robbed of its benefits. Its vi tue lies not only in its prln ciples but in the actual prac tise of investment.
 Each year thousands O.. boys and girls in the Unite. States are deprived of a col lege education because of tho lack. of money.
 You can remedy this situs tion among your pupils bJ starting them on the road tt saving early in life and en. couraging them to safe guard these savings in gov ernment securities. You are rendering a real service to your country and your pupil by promoting the sale of the stamps.
 Add to your influence as 3 teacher: Promote sound eco homie thought, practical pat riotism and prosperity by en couraging your pupils in the regular purchase of thrift stamps and war saving stamps.
