BENEFIT SHOP
 HAS URGENT NEED
 FOR MORE STOCK

November is generally the month in
 which the housewife saunters through
 the attic picking out the winter
 clothes and gathering up garments
 which are of no more use to her and
 only occupying space in the spare
 room. November is also the forerun
 ner Of the holiday season when
 thoughts turn to charity and to the
 needs of the less fortunate. Putting
 these two facts together, the solution
 IS to send the discarded clothes to
 some agency through which they will
 be delivered to the poor and needy. The Benefit shop on Middle street is one Of tine most efficient agencies through which such clothes are dis tributed. Generous persons in the city and suburbs send donations to the shop where the garments are sold for very small price. The proceeds of the sale are used by the Charity Organization Society in it's work witF very destitute cases
 At the present time there is a very urgent needs for clothes, shoes and hats for men and boys and clothing for girls from 10 to 1S- Books are al ways very much appreciated. Per- sons wishing to contribute to the sho stock are asked to communicate with the storekeeper, Mrs. Anna Heldman
 at Barnum S542 and the. store truck will call for goods anywhere on Thurs days Mrs Heldman he succeeded Mrs M. Grey, as storekeeper, who left recently for Los Angeles. The new mana ger is thoroughly acquainted with her work having worked for some time as an investigator for the local Charities department

 Of course everyb ody knows the coal situation is a troublesome prop lem this year and as the cold wea- ther comes on the conditions will be somewhat worse as far as obtain ing prompt delivery of large sizes.
 In our heating plants at the Garden Apartments Buckwheat coal and soft coal coal mixed, the~resu1ts are such that I have tried the Buckwhsat in my own furnace and find that for the mild weather it is perfectly satisfac- tory but must be burned on tcp of ashes So that it VIII not drop through the grate. Pea coal is, in my opinion the most desirable size for furnaces during the Fall and Spring. I have always used it in my own furnace at home and have just ordered some Of this size put in for November and De cember firing This is bIrned in much the same way as the Buck wheat except smaller amount of ash on the grate .s required. In order that the stove sizes of coal can be distri- buted to the people who are dependent upon the range for heating their houses, I am convinced that it is very important that t13e Pea size and Buck wheat size be used in the furnaces. These sizes are available in quite a considerable supply at the present time.
 Take for example the house which uses ten tons of coal If this is di- vided about as follows-three tons of Buckwhear, two tons of Pea coal and five tons of stove coal, Egg or furn-

ace, there would be sufficient saving of the stove sizes to help out tremend- ously with the heating of the small homes which depend upon a very good fire in the kitchen range.

cIared, has demonstrated to the pub- Ho what 1t wants. Ut is a signal that unless we correct our ways we are going to be rejected as we should DO. We must do something constructive. The repudiation was of towards ana hypocrites in Congress, not the Re publican party. There is a gap in the Republican party that we must fill. Where private enterprise has faiaed then government must step in. Gov ernment must function when private enterprise fails. Governor Temp1eton tselected. The Reublican party of the state is on trial"
 MT. King directly aimed a body blow at his arch enemy, J. Henry Roraback, when he declared that the party was on tris1 in the state that the only cause for the defeat of the Democrats was tfes failure of it's noln- nations and that he didn't mean 10 detract from the state organization but that the worst thing to do in pol + s5s.2slican party here had a. failing and that it must study its weakness.
 'I want to caution the Republican party that there is a human body ana soul to be considered in government besides the dollar. The state mus take care of men out of work It is sad thing in great country that men 50 years of age are too old to work. But that is a question that the government must meet Poor 
 later. Business will complain of re- form but business complained be- fore. I want to see the Republican party secure from a silk stocking party"
 MIX Profitcering
 Mr. King declared that milk could be purchased in the country above here for six cents a quart and that it sold here for 15 cents. This was not right he said and the Republican party must solve the gap.
 . Governor-elect Temp1eton was given an ovation when he arose. He failed to recognize any of the prob lens that MT. King presented to the audience and directly addressed to him. Of the milk problem he de- clare1 that there must be compet' ten and that if the situation that MT. King spoke of existed here he would come and go in business. Of the so called silk stocking party MT. Templcton declared that the fine" naople elected himl and would all ways protect the state" The people hack of the Republica3 party in Con- nectfcut won't allow It's defeat said -he governor-elect.

THE STRANGE LIGHT.

Weeks went by. and still Nimble els mother said no more about visiting Farmer Greens carrot patch. Nimbe himself did not dare to mention car rots now. It was his own fault that the excursion had been postponed. And much as he still wanted a taste of carrots, the whole affair was something he didn't care to talk about.
 Anyhow, it was lucky that he liked water lilies. For his mother took him to the lake behind Blue Noun tain every night almost And there they splashed in the shallows and ate all they wanted.
 Most of those nights were much alike. But there was one that Nim- be remembered for many day aft erward.
 It was not dark night neither was it a light one. It was a half and half sort of night. There was a moon. But it was far from full And it was not high in the sky. The light from it came slanting down upon the lake, throwing the shadows of the trees far out upon the water.
 Where those shadows reached out darkly. Ninble and. his mother stood with the water tapping their sleek bodies. And they were eating so busily that neither of them noticed a blurred shape that glided slowly near CT and nearer to them. without mak- ing the slightest sound.
 All at once shaft of dazzling light swept along the shore. Nimble was so surprised and puzzled that he stopped eating to stand still and gaze lat it.
 But only for moment. Instantly his mother flung her tail upward, so that the under side of it gleamed white even in the half light. And that as Nimble knew right well-that was the danger signal.
 Almost before Nimble knew what was happening, his mother made for
