TREASURY SAVING CERTIFICATES
 F. c. Ayres, government director >of savings, who is at Boston in charge of this district, is urging the postmasters to stimulate the people to recognize the value of government securities and to purchase treasury certificates. Q
 He has sent the Connecticut postnnas- ters the following letter: To the Postmasters of Connecticut:
 Our sales for the past three months have not kept up to the average which will insure us the s5, koo.eeo which we hope to raise during the present year. We are falling considerably behind that figure, and greater efforts must be made if we are to attain it.
 During the past two months we have had much encouragement in your state in the organization of savings societies. The Underwood Typewriter Company has formed the largest savings society in the country. The various Insurance companies in Hartford have organized into what we expect will be most val lueble addition to the sales effort of your state. Everywhere we go we are meeting with %ood success, but of course this is tempered by the industrial de- pression and the curtaileti hours and employment in the manufacturing plants To make up for this. each postmas ste! can perform most effective service in l finding in his community one or more people who have Idle money to invest The sale of real estate. stock or -c-ops i frequently places some person in funds who is lookiRE for a' safe investment. Ii he is disposed to hide this money or car " it on his person. he is committing a grave mistake. and it Is doing hin
 a kindness to explain to him the ad | Naitages of treasury savings cNrtiff-
 cates. The postmasters of New Hamp
 shire have been especially successful ii this effort during the past month, ant I hope that everyone of you will giv, this particular attention during the en
 suing few weeks.

ROTARIANS DIVIDE ON DAYLIGHT SAVING

When individual opinions of daylight saving were asked for at the open meet ing of the Rotary club on Wednesday noon at the Wauregan House it was like applying a match to q keg of powder. Discussion was very lively for a few minutes with the opinion divided and it was finally decided that the club would refrain from taking action on the matter and pursue a strictly neutral policy as an organization.
 Arthur M. Brown expressed himself as heartily opposed to the daylight plan either by setting the clock ahead or in going to work an hour earlier the first being characterized as violation of the statutes and the second as an evasion of the law. He thought everyone should cheerfully obey the law now that it it had been made, regardless of whether the law was right or wrong. He said the ruling of the legislature regarding stand ard time was as much of law, even if no penalty was attached, as any law regarding bootlegging, arson or any other crime He said that people who violated any law on arson, bootlegging, etc, had just as good an argument as the people who disobeyed the law regarding time. He urged all to stand by the standard time and the law of our state. Casper K. Bailey said amen to the ] words of MT. Brown and expressed him self as iii favor of the old time James l.. Crawford favored sticking to the standard time.
 | Lewis M. Young said that while he thought people ought to abide by the law he could see no violation of the law If employees wanted to come to work an | hour earlier in the morning. He also an- nounced that his company had adopted
 the new schedule but had not changed l the olocks
 Joseph C. Worth favored the plan of
 advancing working hours one hour. l T. c. Murphy said he was firm be- | liever in daylight saving and said he foI one. would open his store an hour earlier and close an hour earlier. He said he could not see as this would be any VI olation of the law and characterized the enactment of the standard time law as
 disgraceful
 Judge Nelson J. Ayling, in short talk said that the sole purpose of the daylight saving plan was during the war wher ! there were many home garden and tha now as that emergency was over there
 being practically few gardens he could
 not see why the plan was necessary. H. said that he believed tfe plan was pri
 marily of a benefit to the pleasure clas

COUNTY TAX ON NORWICH
 WILL, RE S351o7

The Norwich share in the county tax is to be sS5.197.23 according to an an neuncement from the state recently re- ceived by First Selectman Casper K. Bailey. The tax is payable on July 1. 1921. The town in the annual meeting had voted the. sum of s12.4S3S3 and the addition of s22.OO0 to the estimate means that the town tax will have to be increased approximately 2 mills.
 The reason the large amount this year year exceeds the estimate; is that the county is to raise in two years s20o 900 and that s120.000 is to be raised this year and that the sSo,ooo will go over to next year.

Norwich people going to New London should remember that the difference in time between the two places makes it necessary to leave here about two hours before the time at which they want to get to New Lonlon. For instance, if one were to attend an o'clock evening enter Attainment ill New. London, and were going by trolley, it would be necessary to, take the quarter before trolley from here,
