JUDGE ORDERS DEFENDANT TO
 RENEW LEASE

Judge Haines of the Superior court yesterday handed down a decision in an action involving the right to the possession of the property at 166 by the bowling alleys of Connie Lew is. A saloon has for years been con- ducted in the store on the Fairfield avenue front. In 1912 the owEer of leased them to Harry F. Quinn for q term of eight years from Decen- Der 20, 1912.
 In 1917 MT. Quinn assigned the lease to I-aCroix and Anderson. The lease contained a provision that the lessee should have the privilege of renewing said lease for an additional period of five years from December 20. 1920. When LaCroix and Ander- son demanded this additional lease from the owner, John T. Donovan, he refused to give it.
 They brought an action against him in the Superior court to compel him to perform this agreement and renew the lease He claimed in de- fense that they did not notify him in time of their intention to renew, and further that the occupants of the place had been selling intoxicants in violation of the Volstead Act.
 LaCroix and Anderson on the other hand claimed that they did serve mo- tice on the owner of the premises during their term of the lease and slso claimed that if any intoxicants were SOtu HI LhS pIdCo by ll4S OSCu- pants of it, such sale was with the knowledge and approval of the owner Donovan.
 Judge Haines finds the claims made by LaCroiX and Anderson to be true, namely that they did notify Donovan of their intention to renew the lease within proper time and also that Donovan was fully acquainted with any sales of intoxicantS that might have been made in the place. Judge Haines therefore rendered decision in favor of the plaintiffs and by his judgment directs the de- fendant, John T Donovan, to renew the lease for the additional term of five years.

CAPT, RANDALL FORMERLY OF
 BRIDGEPORT

Yesterday a report was received by radio operators of the rescue Of six fishermen, adrtft off the coast of New foundland by Capt. Albert B Randall of the steamship Hudson, accused last October, of falling to rescue 8 men drifting off Ambrose light ves- sei.
 The message received at the offices of the United States Lines was to the effect that Capt. Randall sighted the boat being tossed about by huge waves. The Hudson was making about 103 knots when a small French with & cargo of fish was sighted. A boat was lowered and the men were taken aboard.
 The message flashed by Captain Lat. 44-60. Long. 61.2s: average speed 10.3. Heavy weather Noon rescued crew of six from French schooner Reine des Mers of Dunkirk deaux with cargo of fish. Captain Jean Marie Labrise was washed over board Dec. 2S. Owners, Ledget, Chalk. Chenille sur Maine Indre ct Loire, France. Please notify"
 No details Of lhe rescue have come ashore but one sentence of the radio message said that Captain Jan Marie Labrfse of the small schooner was washed overheard, hinting of the struggle that the lbrave F,renchmen had wi h the waves.
 When the charge made by the three men Of the failure to pick them up by Captain Randall, General Manager Rossbottom Of the United States Lines immediately suspended Capt Randall on the ground that he had violated an unwrtt len law of the sea. He was later questioned by the Federal au- thortttes and exorenated. He re- nained suspended during one round trip of the Hudson. General Man ager Rossbottom said yesterday:
 T am delighted that Capt. Randall has redeemed himself. It was painful for me to suspend him but it was nac- essary for discipline. He has a won. derfu1 sec. record and he has main tained 1t in this rescue"
 Captain Randall, as 8. boy, received his education in the public schools of Bridgeport. His mother and broth- CTS are now residents of Trumbull
 During the war he was a Lieut. :. Commander in the navy and distin- was in charge of the President Lin coin, @ transport on it's way back from France, when it was torpedoed by a German submarine The com mandcr of the sub came aboard 1ha transport and demanded the captain as a prisoner but Captain Randall dis guised himself as a sailor and escaped in a Hfeboat.
 While in the service of the navy he received many comnaendations from his super3orS for distinguished acts. Most of Captain RandalFs life has been spent in the navy.
 When brought up on charges be- fore the Steamboat Inspection Board he was unanimously eNonerated. At first he was refused re-insta tement but later the board rescinded from their action.

THE "MOTHER OF MEDICINE

Isis, the Queen and afterwards the
Goddess, was called the Mother of
Medicine" In ancient Egypt, centur-
les before Christ, women were skilled
in medicine. They knew the great
'alue of medicinal plants.
Hippocrates, the Father Of Medi-
cine many centuries later, knew less
)f the merit of vegetable drugs than
did the women of ancient times.
Lydia E. Pinkham, nearly fifty
ears ago, gave to women her Vege-
able Compound, now known every
where as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound. This is womans
medicine for woman's ailments, pre-,
pared from medicinal plants.

thing about the town from which il
came or the people who sent it. To
them it is matter of business, and
that is all.
1t is not so with the local merchant.
He is doing business for a profit, the
same as the city merchant; but unlike
the city merchant a portion of his
profits are spent in promoting the well
fare OF the community. To be sure
the city merchant pays taxes in his
1 own city, but he is not as closely al
lied to the people as is the merchant
in the small city or town.
The merchants of our municipality
are interested in public welfare. They
pay their taxes toward the support
of the municipal government; they
are liberal in all charitable move
ments; they aid in the support of the
! churches, the schools, backgrounds,
and every social function. They spend
their money in building or buying 4
store or a residence or both in our
community, and that real estate, as
was all their personal property, is
taxed by this community. If we want
any public Improvement it is the local
tradesmen who contribute their mite
generously toward it. Frequently if
one of our towns people want to Dor.
row a sum of money the local mer-
chant will loan it,and if we do not
have the ready cash we may btain
credit to tide us over stringent cri-
sis. This we cannot get from the out
of town merchant. He wants his cash
and gets it or We do not get the goods.
All things considered it is plain
wherein our duty lies. We cannot
build up our community with the money
We send away. 1t goes from us for
ever.
Our local merchants are our friends.
They want to make sales; but they
want to makeithem in such a manner
that we. will all be benefited. They
want to know what success we are
having with the farm machinery we
purchased of them, and if there is any
fault they are ready and willing to
aid us; for it is for their interest as
well as ours that we increase produc-
ton and our profits.
Is it not then for our interest to
ally ourselves with every community
interest in preference to anything out
side, in order to promote our own well
fare, build up our own community, in
crease the productiveness of our
farms, build better streets, better
schools, better churches and every
public and private enterprise?
We should also remember that in
proportion as our community pros
pcrs our property increases in value
and our jobs are worth more, our civ
ic institutions are more prosperous,
our town more beautiful, and best of
oil our standard of living higher and
better, physically, mentally and indus
trially.
No one is looking for a dead town
in which to locate. No one is in
search of a location where there is
no community interests Such places |
cannot but fall into decay.
The community where loyalty pre-
walls, where local pride is in the as |
cendancy, where the paint brush and
the lawn mower, the pruning knife |
and good will combine for public well |
fare is a good enough place for any
body and will prosper.
