NEW HAVEN DEVICE ~.
 FOR RAILROAD CROSSING
Flashlight to Signal the Approach of
 Trains

The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company an- nounce that on May 1st, 1922, the Morrison Flashlight Highway Cross ing Signal, operating day and night, will be placed in service at Railroad Street, or Pease Crossing, in this town.s
 Upon the approach of a train, these signals flash every two seconds a high-powered electric red light in both directions on the highway and continue to flash until the train has passed over the crossing.
 These signals are attached to the standard highway crossing signs, located on both sides of the railroad crossing, and consist of a disc 24 inches in diameter. In the center of this disc is an inch red glass through which shines "a fiashlight light, giving beam of 5000 candle power. This light is so intense that it can be seen a considerable distance in bright sunlight. Surrounding this red light and on the face of the disc are the words, "When Red Stop" so arranged that they are illuminated at night. s
 The mechanism of these signals is as near perfect as human ingenuity can make it. An experience of years with the same apparatus in signals governing train movements on the principal railroads shows that fail- ures are almost unknown.
 These crossing signals are in ser vice day and night, while at most crossings fiagmen are only employed duTing busy hours. Further, regard less of how faithful a crossing flag man may be, his crossing disc, white flag or lamp cannot be seen nearly as far as the Morrison. signal and under no conditions. can he attract attep- ton as surely as the high-powered light flashing red along and across the highway every two seconds when a train is approaching the crossing.
 When this signal is flashing red light, it indicates approach of a train and travellers on highway must stop before passing signal and wait until passage of train over crossing. If signal continues to flash after train passes over crossing it indicates ap- proach, of another tram, either on same track or one adjoining. A

MAY MILK OFFERED
 TO DEALERS AT $1.75
Price 55c Hundred Less Than April Fluid Milk
 .F Price

The directors of the Dairymen's League Co-Operative Association, meeting in Utica on April nineteenth and twentieth, voted to offer milk of the Association for sale to the dealers for May at the following prices:
 Class l milk, that is, milk sold in fluid form, is offered for $1.75 per hundred pounds. This includes both the fluid milk sold in bulk and that sold in bottles. .. .......
 Class milk, that is, milk used chiefly in the manufacture of cream and ice cream, will be offered for $1.50 per hundred, the same as last months price. These prices are for three per cent milk at the 201-210 mile zone. Prices to each individual farmer vary according to distances from the market and amount of butterfat contained. .et
 For class milk, that which is manufactured chiefly into condensed and evaporated milk, the price will be twenty cents a hundred above the butter quotations.
 For class 4, milk manufactured chiefly into butter and cheese, prices win be determined on market quota tiens.
 ~ The class 1 price of $I.75 is re- duction from $2.30, the price for April milk. There is a five cents a hundred reduction in the class 8 price from the price for April milk. The other prices for May are the same as prevailed during April.
 These prices to the farmer are discouragingly low, being consider ably under the cost of production, but there is considerable surplus of milk which will increase during May, and it is the purpose of the Co., Operative Association to sell larger amount of pooled milk in class 1 by reducing the price of this class rather than keeping the, price up, thus causing the pooled milk to be sold in the lower priced classes.

CANAAN POST OFFICE
 HAS AVERAGE OF $2.59
Per Capita Sales of Treasury . Saving Certificates
 for March .-.. .. .

Sales reports of Treasury Savings Certificates for the month of March received by F. c. Ayres, Director Savings Division First Federal Re- serve District, show a marked in- crease over previous months. Owing to adverse commercial and industrial conditions during the past few months the people of New England have not had funds for investment, but an improvement in these condi- tions is indicated by the fact that the sales for March nearly doubled those made in February and are the highest thus far obtained.
 The following table shows the sales for the first three months of the year by states with the per capita average for each month:
 Mass, Jan. Sales, $f01,886; Per. Cap, .03; Feb. Sales, $66,950; Per. Cap, .02; March Sales, $146,554; Per Cap. .04. .t ~. ...

 The industrial conditions during the past few months have not been of the best But even in the face of this handicap Postmaster Murphy of Norwich has achieved per capita average for the three months of 65c which is the highest in the state for a first class office. Postmaster Shea of Derby, and Postmaster Mccarthy of Middletown with averages of 39c and 33c respectively, have showed the next best results. @
 1t is to Postmaster Roberts of Canaan to whom we must bow for having the best average in the state. His per capita of $2.59 is~impressive and shows what personal effort can accomplish Among the smaller offices, Postmaster Stone of Salisbury and Postmaster Burr of Baltic were the most successful with per capita averages of soc and $1.10 respec- lively. a..
 The trend of the decrease in the earning power of money is clearly indicated in the heavy oversubscrip- tion of 31s per cent Certificates of Indebtedness recently issued by the U. S. Treasury Dept. The purchase of Treasury Savings Certificates at this time guarantees a rate of income during. the next five years equal to AZ per cent compounded, semi annually. ..-

DAYLIGHT SAVING FOR
 SOME LOCAL MERCHANTS
Opinion Divided Here and \ Elsewhere as to Opening
 Hours

The daylight saving muddle IS again with us and that more or less confusion will result seems certain: This condition is not confined locally, but is the same in other nearby towns where opinion is divided. There is every indication that some people want to get back to the old standard time method and that others still have yearning for the war emer- gency measure adopted.
 Locally the situation sits down to this: c. l.. Parsons & Sons two stores will open at seven a. m. and close at 5.30, as will also the Fuller Hardware Go. and c. E. Badgley. The Canaan Printing Go. will ob- serve the same hours as at present, for practically nothing can be gained by opening half hour earlier. Then there are others who have signed a petition as follows: \t
 s'We the undersigned business men of Canaan do hereby agree to adopt Daylight Saving time for our business hours:
 New England Slag Co., Ford Ser vice Station,s J ohm G. Adam, Boscar- din Bros, Paviol Garage, w. Ro- berge, Mgr, E. L. Roberts, H. H.. Scutt, Benton & Wright, Chamber lain D. D. Co.,, Conn. Power Co.,, John "A. Bianchi, John E. .Hassett, Borden's F. P. Co.,, F. R. Collin, Ives 6 Peirce, Canaan Lumber Co.,, Canaan National Bank, Decker x Beebe, Massimo Perantoni, R. 1T. Farnun, Freeman Dempsey, Nathan Wellner, Canaan Fire Proof Garage, Clayton M. Benjamin, c. Willis Par sons, T. w. McClelland, Geo. H.. Trieschman, Brewer Bros, Inc.
 It is understood. that daylight sav-, ing hours means that the above rep resented places of business will open an hour earlier and close an hour earlier.
 From conversations with members of the School Board it is not likely that any change will be made in school hours. This will give out of town pupils the opportunity to get the benefit of full sessions at school.
 Whether or not daylight saving hours are observed it does not seem advisable to advance. the clocks. This of course is left to the individual.
