that if the professional Californian

have right here within small radius of
Norwich they would make the world rave
over it. and l have often wondered just
how many of our home folks really ap-

many have ever taken the short, but
delightful trip to Deans Mills, a won

Mystic, or have driven to the Devils
Hop Yard near Salem or just as ac-

to look at the grandeur of Bailey's Ra-
vine in Franklin, or spent thirty minutes
at Sunset Hill in the village of Wood

and If we saw them away from home
we would just rave" over them, but
we are like the rest of the world. We
do not appreciate what we have at our

5Sth street. Andy is the sales manager
for an aluminium firm in Seattle and his
wife was Miss Jennie Grove formerly
Of IS Summer street, this city. They
sure are happy and both look well and
prosperous. I also took quite an auto
tour with them in Mr.. Kreamer's tour
ing car.
A funny incident in connection with
Mr.. and Mrs. Kreamer will bear re-
peating. During the summer. Mr.. and
Mrs. Kreamer, were going to Tacoma to
see some auto races and were waiting
for street car to come along for Ia
coma AS it is only a short distance
from Seattle to Tacoma when a large
touring car pulled UP to the curb and
the driver of the car said TO Mr.. Kream-
er, Are you going to Tacoma to the
| races?" He said that he was. SO he
ana his wife were invited to join in and
| fill the empty seat in the rear of the
car. Mr.. and Mrs. Kreamer were talk
| ing over between themselves when in
| the course of the conversation, they
spoke of Watch Hill, and right there
and then the driver and owner of the
car became interested In the conversa-
| ton and asked what Watch Hill they
were referring to, as he had sister that
was summering at Watch HILL, Rhode
|
was the Watch Hill she referred to, tell
| ing him that her home was in Norwich,
i Connecticut. Then-right off the bat
the driver of the car said that was where
| he came from and Miss Grove (that
! was) said, Are you Mr.. Barstow ?"
and he acknowledged that he was and
| she told him that the only person that
she had to look up from Norwich was a
Mr.. Ned Barstow, formerly connected
| with the Woolworth Company of Nor
| witch. and that William Tanner of r. F.
Smiths grocery store had asked fer to
| look him up, and-sure enough-if Prov

curb and pick these two persons out
| of a population of 315, 652 people.
Seattle is q wonder city and is not

LABOR FORCES To
WAGE CAMPAIGN
NON-PARTISAN ACTIVITY | s
URGED IN ELECTIONS.

Washington, ID. c., March 16.-
Meetings Immediately of local non
partisan committees throughout the
United States to begin active prep
arations for the primaries were
called for today in a proclamation
addressed to organized labor by the
executive committee of the American
Federation of Labor's non-partisan
political campaign committee.
Where local organizations have
not remained in existence since the
last election formation of new COM
mittees is urged so that plans may
be made quickly for most intens-
i've campaign of education of not on
ly members of trade unions, but of
the great masses of the people" and
for placing candidates in the field
where neither party puts up can
didate regarded as representative
of the peoples interests"
Every state federation of labor, !"
says the announcement, "every city
central body, should create non-par-
tisan political campaign committees.
Every local union should appoint
committees to cooperate with the
state and central bodies.
THE present campaign in the pri-
maries and in the fall elections offers
opportunities which may not come
again in a decade to redress wrongs
and attain justice. 1t is, therefore,
| important and necessary that not a
moment should be lost in launching
most active campaign that will
bring about the election of men and
women who will restore TO our people
the rights taken from them since
| fighting ceased in the great war;
The announcement also declared
that mo genuine conservative meas
ure has been enacted by congress
since March 4, 1919"
Every means used to secure leg
islation that will aid in relieving un-
employment has been met with re-
| buff" it stated. "One deplorable
conditio nof the country artlficially
made and in which labor and the
farmers have been deflated until il
hurts has been ignored by congress
Only appeals for subsidies for ship
owners, railroads and other inter
ests find listeners"

BUSINESS IS
ON THE MEND
ILLINOIS BANKS ISSUE OPTIMIS-
TIC REPORTS.

Chicago, March 6.-Business and
industry are picking up, merchants
and farmers are preparing for their
seasonal activities, money and credit
are circulating more freely, and, ac-
companying all this improvement,
thrift is being practiced. These de-
ductions may be cleaned from state
ments of condition at the close of
business last Friday made by Chi
cago banks, in response to calls for
such reports issued by the controller
of the currency and the Illinois state
auditor. The improvement in busi-
ness, industry and agriculture is evil
denced by the fact that aggregate
loans and discounts of all the banks
expanded $62,309,024. This was en-
tirely the result of the national
banks, many of which have extensive
dealings with country correspond
ent banks, increasing their loans
$72,431,O12.
On the other hand, the state banks
decreased their aggregate loans $10,-
121, ,9S8. This might be taken TO
mean that more settled industrial
conditions and gradual decline in un-
employment have enabled industrial
borrowers and wage earners to pay
off some of their Indebtedness at the
banks. This is emphasized by the
fact that the state banks show saw
ings deposits increased $7,698,010
although the national banks lost
$S03,135 in such accounts The ag-
gregate increase for all banks was
$o,894,875.
The most startling change was an
increase of $152,458,0 8,050 in the ag.
gregate deposits of all the banks.

Egan To Trial
On April 3rd

Sioux Falls, March 16.-It is an
nounced that April has been set
as the date for the starting of the
new trial of George w. Egan, of the
city, Independent republican candi-
date for nomination to the office of
governor of South Dakota, who at
the first trial was convicted of MAX
ing a false affidavit in connection
with claim for fire insurance and
was sentenced to a term in the
Sioux Falls penitentiary. The state
supreme court granted him a new
trial as result of an appeal taken
by him. The retrial was not held
Immediately after the supreme court
granted it, owing to the fact that
Egan asked that it be postponed un-
til he had completed his campaign
for nomination to the governorship
