And take our choice of all earths treasures. too.
Or choose from heaven whatsoever we wiled.

A, Renaud, is appointed by the state

Somerset Council has grown in mem
bership to such an extent that 1t has
become expedient for them to procure
quarters of their own. At the pres
ent time they are subletting the rooms
in the newly renovated Knights of
Pythas hall. 1t is understood, how
ever, that the upper story of one of
the towns most suitably located and
spacious blocks Is to be completely re-
modelled to the needs of the knights.
In fact we learn that the contractor
is to start in a few days and 1t Is ex-
pected that the new home will be
ready for occupation on or about Nov

C. N. HOLT ADDRESSES
R0TAR|ANS aON COAL
Plans for a Ladies Night and n Per.
manent Meeting Place Mt Last Reg.
ular Session

The regular Rotary Club dinner was
enjoyed last Friday evening at Hotel
Oxford with a good attendance of
members. David Haig of Belmont
Mass, and DR.. C. R. Viles were
guests. After the dinner the club ad-
journed to the Offices of A. X. But
Ter for the evening program. Presid-
ent C. P. Merrill presided at the
business session and plans were made
for permanent meeting place. 1t
was also voted to have ladies' night.
Slips were drawn to assign the next
speaker and the name of Dr. George
E. Young was selected. S. W. Phil
bricks name was drawn to make the
gift and present the same to the speak
er. Carlton M. Holt, coal dealer,
spoke on this occasion and he gave
the members some valuable informa-
ton on the present coal conditions.
He stated that after the double holt
days of Sunday and Labor Day the
railroads were able to furnish equip
ment for loading $4,000 cars on
Tuesday the day following. This
was the highest figure reached since
than has been loaded on the same day
in other years. Mr.. Holt read a
very comprehensive paper on coal and
quoted a reference where to the same
for fuel purposes in about 300 B. c.
Mr.. Holt stated that more than one
half of the worlds coal reserves are
believed to lay within the territory of
the United States.
"The tonnage in the great produc-
ing fields of the east is so limited as
to compel us to foresee their exhaus-
ton within comparatively short per-
iod." said Mr.. Holt. Mr.. Holt ad-
vised cooperation between the con-
sumers and the miners, telling the
consumers that they should buy coal
when the product is the least needed.
Off season delivery of coal even to
the small consumer will help material
ly to make the mine workers June
more like his November.

Mrs. ROuIIard's Birthday

Mrs. Paul Roulard who is at the
Somerset Hospital where she has re
Gently undergone surgical operation
was pleasantly remembered on her
birthday, Sept. 14th by flowers and
postcards from many friends. Dur
ing the past twenty years Mrs. Roul-
lard has given much of her time and
strength to the sick and needy of our
town and has well earned the title by
which she is sometimes called, the
"angel of Skowhegan." One of the
birthday cards contained the follow
ing appropriate lines:
I'm glad we have an angel at our door;
We need about hundred million more
Throughout our hungry land from
shore to shore.
Like our Celeste.
Celestial is the sympathy she shares,
Celestial is the comfort which she
bears,
Celestial is the smile she always wears
Our good Celeste.
SO on the birthday of our angel dear
We send our hearty greetings and
good cheer,
And best of wishes for the coming
year
To our Celeste.

HARRY y BROOKS
Bankrupt.
New Britain herald., 1922-10-17

His violent death has shocked the community in which the three had lived something of family idyll in the little home they had built with the aid of building and loan asso- ciation. Their house was put up with particular regard to sun and air. for in it they hoped that Margaret would recover completely from tuberculosis after having spent a year and a half at Saranac. whither the Y. M. c. A., by which she had been employed as a secretary, had sent her to start her back on the road to health.
 No definite motive has been estab- lished for the suicide, though it has been conjectured 'that the burden of maintaining the family may have been too heavy for young shoulders or 1t may have resulted from morbid depression because about a year ago an insurance company pronounced the boy an unsafe risk and refused him policy.
 Pulls Strings to Turn on Current.
 West was an expert lapidary, and his skill with gems brought him good wages, but it does not appear that he had any particular experience with or any great knowledge of how to turn currents to his own uses.

Mankus Gets Four Months, His Wife Two; Gryzcnta Held For HiA
 Court-Girl to Reform School

After he had waived examination in charges of indecent assault upon 8 minor female, Walter Cryzenia aged 23, grocer, was bound over to the next term of the superior court h. bonds of $s,ooo, by Judge c. w. Klett this morning. Mir. and Mrs. Ignata Mankus pleaded guilty to harboring Ia young woman for immoral purposes and the former was sentenced to four months in jail while the latter was given two months. Helen Domijohh, the girl in the case. who is IA years old, was committed to the Industriai School for Girls.
 The police department had consid- erable information concerning the Mankus home at 75 Grove street. ac- cording to Prosecutor J. G. Woods and as result of that information, Detective Sergeants W. P. McCue and Matthias Rival arrested the three ac- cused last week. The girl made dam- aging admissions. the police say in which all three were implicated.
 Lawyer Henry Nowicki represented the accused today. He charged thLt the girl was not of the innocent type but entirely without morals. He asked that consideration be shown the couple because of their two small children.
New Britain herald., 1922-10-17

The accused .Morse introduced evi- dence at his hearings to prove four
 points. The first that the indictment
 did not charge an offense; second, that no probable cause existed; third, that under the laws of the State of Connecticut which accused claims should apply, no offense was commit ted; and fourth, the accused was now on ball in the District of Colum- bia. which fact is bar to his re- movat All Of these points were ruled agashst by Commissioner Lavery The indictment against Mr. Morse and others specifically is that they devised a scheme to defraud private investors In which they used the mails stat. ing that purchasers of stock of the L. S. Steamship Co. would be bene- hted by large returns. which de- fendants knew were false.
