The case Of the mysterious disap-
pearance of Zedor Toulouse of the
Ten Lots in Fairfield center. who
has been missing A week today, has
taken a new twist. A letter from a
Boston baking concern, has been
found in which the firm states that
there is at present no opportunity
for Mr.. Toulouse to find work with
it. It is thought that Mr.. Toulouse
wrote to Boston to find work, and,
not finding it, decided to go to Bos-
ton in, search of it himself. From
this it appears that his disappear
ance was not the within of moment
nor the result of mental troubles
from his recent illness. but was
rather the part of prearranged and
we'll thought out plan. In spite of
these facts, some of his relatives are
inclined even now to doubt that he
has ever gone to Boston or has even
left the Fairfield region. They ex-
press the idea that he is within
reach somewhere near Waterville or
Fairfield, but they have no definite
idea as to Just where he can be
found.

During the first six months of the

The excess of our exports over
our imports grew rapidly in this
period. In order to support the

Therefore the total of our Govern
