performers excelling all their former
offerings.

rare sweetness and power. The Miss

strumentally by Mrs. Montrose and Ar
thur. Then the wonderful Llano
quartette'' in the persons of Mr.. and
Mrs. Beaver, son Bill Beaver and Mrs.
Dougherty. poured forth their hearts
in most enchanting song. Mr.. w.
Smock impersonated "cullud lady"
and "cullud gemmen" in a very eff
fectiye manner, and his son, Freddie,
recited a very humorous piece Of poe
try. Comrade Billie DeBoer's clarinet
solo was rendered in perfection, as he
does everything that he takes in hand.
Comrade W. Jacques gave an interest

forceful manner, and scored hit, as
usual. Llano Quartette No. 2, compos-
ed Of Mr.. and Mrs. Gaddis. Mrs. Shar-

the air was redolent with the perfume
Of flowers and the balm of the fir tree.

cool water Of the brook after a hike
through the woods. But ii was all

THE NEW REFRIGERATOR

Mrs Crawford who manages the ho-
tel at the Colony was agreeably surpris-
ed last week when the much needed
new refrigerator was installed in the
kitchen. It took four husky men to
handle this the latest product of the
handiwork of the Llano colonists. In
finish and workmanship it will compare
with anything that is offered on the
marketto day. it is the very latest word
IN refrigerator manufacture and is a
striking example of cooperation. Com
rade Matz is justly proud Of the work
of his hands and states that the cost
TO the Colony for the refrigerator was
but few dollars. It is s K s wide,
4 6 high, D. K 7 deep. There are
two doors in front and two at the side.
also large compartment for ice that
will hold $50 pounds Of ice. Ii is all
zinc lined with air chambers Of one and
a half inch. This is ain example of the
Of the Colony as Wen as the
skill Of Comrade Matt.

Let Mail Workers
 Have Their Xmas, Plea from Department

Postmaster Green has received no- tice from the department that ITO make Christmas day as thoroughly holiday as possible, is the seanosa ble slogan which should inspire the en- tire system at this time. Our efforts to have patrons mail early and finish their mailings early, we believe will prove to be very effective. The pub lie are willing to cooperate to the that those in our service may enjoy their Christmas at home, if they are thoroughly informed of the situation, that everything be done to put the Christmas mail over, before Christ mas. The department will be inter ested to know by letter from first and second class pOstOffices, particularly, how successful they have been in full filling this ambition. No better Christ mas greeting can be given the large army of assistants in the field than affording them the pleasure of having their Christmas dinner at home; and no greater Christmas greeting can they give the department than the assurance that this will come to pass and that the mail will be so reason ably well delivered that patrons will be satisfied"

Stockholders of the Southern New England Telephone Co. were told at the last annual meeting that the com rany intended to issue stock next next; year. The company's capital stock now totals SIS, S,OOO.0OG, and it has the right to issue additional stock to the value of S2.OOO,00O without further recourse to the legislature by which Y is chartered.
 The telephone issue would be at the rate of one new share for each nine outstanding stock.
 Further telephone issues would be preceded by an application to the leg islature for the right to increase cap ital. In common with all other tele- phone companies in the United States, business of the Southern New Eng land is growing by Ieaos and bounds and new capital is almost certain to be needed from time to time. There fore it would not be strange If the next legislature were asked to vote an increase of capital for the com pany.
 With the officialsN of the Southern New England straining every nerve In an effort to keep up with the de- n1ands of Connecticut for new service and with the present service as nearly perfect as possible, the company would and the legislature willing to aid it in extending facilities. No public service evaporation has ever been better handled with regard to giving the public what 1t wants than the Southern New England.
 The cOmpany's growth has been remarkable and it's efforts to keep up with the growth have been strenu- ous and successful. That the stocK + considered a good investment is in dicated by the fact that it is selling today as high as -$129 a share on par value of s1Oo a share.
 United Illuminating Co. ran for seven years before increasing cap1- tai. Increases were made in 19O7( 1908. 1910, 1913, 1914, 1915, 1918, 1917. 1919, 1920 and 1921. The largest increase was made in 1920, when the capital was increased s1.- 259 000- The other increases rang ed from s2OO.00O to s6OO,000.

 ''There would be a municipal par liamentary and cabinet panel of such men, from which our rulers would be selected!

He was recently sentenced by Geneva tribunal to six months hard labor
 Ismaud was sentenced under Q new law which does not allow the option of a fine, though he begged to be permitted to pay any amount in preference to Imprisonment, The magistrate called IsInaud "a dirty reptile who had ruined many young lives" and regretted that he could not pass a heavier sentence
