JEWETT CITY

Monday morning 8 little after midnight freight something less than a mile long, attempted to start after having stopped at the station for some reason. The shackle bar on one. of the ears pulled out down in the traiIA some little ways below the street. From that time until close to one a. m the. state road crossing was given over to the occupancy of freight cars. Ordinarily one would not look for much of a traffic block at that hour; not so, on both sides the various trucks and automobiles began to line up, including several trucks arriving with the carni- val Officer McDermott used his influence with the train crew and after forty or more autos of different sorts had waited until the cars were chained together, the train moved and the regular night traffic was resumed, also there was resumed the nerve-racking, ague-shaking stunts which houses along the state road have taken up on account of the weight and speed of the trucks that pass in the night.

At the Sunday morning service in the M. E. church, Rev. W. D. Woodward, pre- faced his sermon by fifteen-minute talk especially to the children.

Of the above chil- dren 33 have had dental treatment; obtained glasses Over ITS have obtained toothbrushes since school nursing has been established and are really using them. With regard to baths at least once week the majority of the children have formed that health habit. They also sleep with windows open. A large mum Der of the people whom she has visited have expressed a hope that they will be able to have the children's adenoids and enlarged tonsils removed this summer, during vacation. A large number would like to have this done, but cannot afford it. Dr. Hutchins says that the result of tonsils and adenoid operations are excel lent. If they continue to be performed as at present at least two thirds of all cases of deafness, one-hah of all arrest ed development, three-quarters of those of backward children will disappear. A recent bulletin published by the depart
 ment of health indicates that next to Pennsylvania our state of Connecticut had the largest per cent of reJeetions for physical disability of any state in the union. One-half of our young men were so defective that they could not be
 made use of when the country was in dis 1 tress. | A large per cent. of these defects
 could have been remedied during school age.
 1 This report of Miss Driseoll goes to ] prove that there is necessity for the work 1 she is doing among school children, and
 the improvement that has been made in i these few weeks. A community or dis triet nurse would be of untold benefit to l the town. Of the two corporation nurs- l es, only one visits the families of the 1 corporation as a part of her work, as it l Is thought wiser to be in readiness in the l mill for any accident. There is a large
 field in the town for a district nurse. i The great benefit can be seen in many l cases where the nurses and welfare work ] CT have given their assistance in tines of
 need. The people of this borough will never forget the voluntary and arduous
 work done during the influenza terror by I Mrs. Walter Richardson and Mrs. Eva
 Boisvert Mercy. The local Red Cross i chapter could not alone finance a district
 nurse; but with the town and corpora tions such a nurse would be of great ben
 eft to the town.

Organized Labor and Capital.

William H. Johnson president of the Inter
national Association of Machinists, told the in
terstate commerce commission the other day
that the railway managers want to destroy all
unions. Organized labor cannot be DESTROYED.
Neither can organized society, organized force
or factors of any kind representing necessary
or useful interests. The reason is that the or
ganization in every case whether well planned
or faulty, brings into unity of purpose and &C
tivity certain important, perhaps vital, ele-
ments of human existence The world cannot
do without labor, and a. wisely directed under
taking to make the toiler more efficient, more
intelligent and more happy is as impossible of
overcoming as is the industrial factor itself
The same is true of the other concerns men
toned, and of additional elements having to
do intimately with modern life. 1t is the truth
which makes largely imaginary the belief of
people here and there that destruction is sought
and will result to favorite interest They
scarcely realize that matters value to the
world, or they could not think it SO easily dis
pensable.
But it is possible for an organized move
ment representing a vital interest to have
phases which must be done away with for the
advancement of the general welfare. Organ
lied labor possesses some such elements Cap
italistic methods are equally prone to mistak-
en- thought and effort Society has yet far to
go before it will serve mankind as it should.
The required betterments will come through
a general movement toward that end by all
people affected by those interests. 1t has been
frequently stated by the rail heads that the
unions would wipe railroad management out of
existence if permitted to do so. Such an accu-
sation is ill-founded, as are such charges and
in other fields of industry.
Most of us faulty in judgment, and often
We betray michievious tendencies. There is
too much common sense i'll humanity, however
to make it possible for the minor mistakenness
Of all to destroy the well being of any portion
Of the people. Fire alarm leadership and oc-
casional wrong-headed following are inI the
Cool minds will always dom mate
when crisis comes, and usually will not
await its demand to develop.

big grinding mill OF impcrscnal life. In the
little village individuality is more marked and
personal characterizations become more accen-
tuated.
The city wants to be the biggest city in
the world, the village wants to rival the town
in size and smArtness and the town wants TO
get factories and expand its commercial pos
sibiIities. The man who has been in the city
for 20 years goes back TO his home village for
a visit He loves il because 1t has not failed
him. 1t remains as it was. But he finds IL
seething and Disconnected and brewing with
ambition. 1t no longer prides itself in the
quietness and homelike xentiment 1t wants
to grow and become factor in commerce ana
industry. It apologies to the old boy because
it never became more than residential village.
The radio, the telegraph, the rural mail. the
telephone the automobile and other ingenious
things have changed the little town. The old
fashioned village has become a quaint dream
Of former days. 1t has no poet Greys or nat
uralist Thoreau, but it has its future Edisons,
Fords and James J. Hills, and perhaps some
stray Beecher or Philips Brooks but it has
no old-fashioned lovers OF its simple life who
hope to live and die in its solitude. 1t may be
that this intense, rushing age may have to save
itself some day by reviving the spirit. of the
old-fashioned village. In the meantime people
who are fortunate enough to be living in the
small towns should congratulate themselves
that they still have some of the remnants of
the rural atmosphere that gave the world its
finest poetry and most picturesque literature
and produced the greatest types of human
character.

its predominant human element has compen-

majority of the worlds leaders were bred in
the country village because the village is close

On a night I walked serenely
Down the calm streets OF the city,
strolled along in deep contentment,
Dreamed Of romance and adventure.
Overhead the moon cleaned softly,
Bathing all below in silver.
Gentle whispers stirred the tree-tops,
Silent were the daytime voices,
Save that of fapper singing
She sat before a grand piano,
From the sidewalk 1 could see her
Though much farther one could hear ner.
Probably the moon inspired her
To go in and sing ballad.
"Silv'ry Moon" twas, she attempted,
But her consonants were slurry-
"Silv'ry Moo" was how she sang 1T
Sang it softly and with feelinA
Dol-shay and pensee-eroso,
Slancio and then slentando-
"Silv'ry Moo-oo-oo- oo-oo-oooo -
Like the old calf slowly dying.
And my dog, who'd walked sedately
BY my side until this moment,
Sat right down upon his launches,
Turned his face up to the heavens,
Rent the air with notes of anguish,
Till the "Moo'ing" ceased and silence
Fell (unconscious) on the greensward.

For an Honest Label.

II you want a piece of wooden goods, buy
an article labeled wool ard therefore pay the
price wool commands, you ought, in simple
justice, to receive wool If you don't receive
it you have been both deceived and defrauded;
honesty in trade has been struck severe
blow, and unfair competition has been set up
against the firm that really produces and sells
wooden goods. That is the line of reasoning
and justice upon which the United States SUI
preme court recently upheld an order of the
federal trade commission directed against
hosiery company. The commission had ordered
the company to cease using any underwear
or other knit goods it produces the words
merino, wool or worsted when such goods
were not composed wholly of wool. Correct
designation of the substance of the goods was
ordered through use of such words merino,
wool and cotton; wool and cotton, or worsted,
wool and cotton. The company petitioned for
and obtained a review of this order in the
United States circuit court of appeals The
court set aside the order on the ground that
Its issuance was not within the province of
the federal trade commission.
In giving the opinion OF the higher court
Justice Brandeis cites that the ruling Of the
commission was founded on fact supported by
evidence; that none of the underwear sold by
the company throughout the United States and
variously labeled wool was all wool, and that
much OF it contained only a small percentage
Of wool; some of it as little 10 per cent. The
court held that through this practice of the
company part OF the public misled; that
INSCRIPTIONS retailers and their statesmen
were encouraged, and that unfair competition
was set up against the producers of all wooden
goods. The unfairness OF the competition was
not mitgated, the court held, even though a
in the mislabeled products understood, through
experience, that they were only in part wool.
The protection of the public and the encourage
ment that is given honest business in the de-
cison of the court ought to be far-reaching
F., There is no good reason why any form of bust
ness should object the kind of regulation
which simply insists that the product of that
business shall be what it is srepresented to be-
Ii this principle is not recognized, insisted
upon and enforced there is dependable
basis upon which business relationships may
be carried forward
