LAKEVILLE BIG FIVE
 DEFEAT EVERGREENS To Play Fast Mill River Team in Town Hall This
 Saturday Night

The Lakeville Big Five defeated the Evergreen, A. c. Saturday night by a score of ,42-25. The game was very close to within the last five minutes, when the weight and con- dition of Lakeville brought them the decision. .
 Raynsford was the star of the game, scoring. twenty-four points. O'Loughlin secured ten points from the floor and Silvernail was held Joy Beaujon to two baskets. Garrity coanted four times from the foul line. /
 Baldwin led the Alocals in floor goals with four to his credit. Beau jon made three, including the final one of the game. O'Nei1 sank three also but was bad on his foul shooting. He only ,netted five of fifteen tries, Garrity, who opposed him, made four of seven. Bees was in poor condition and was seriously handi- capped for wind in the final session, which fact enabled Raynsford to accumulate baskets. Keenan played i. as we'll as usual and was especially good on his long passes. The box ccora.

CORNWALL MAN HELD
 UP IN THOMASTON
Torrington Youth Sentenced
 to Six Months for Crime

Louis Rinaldi, 22, and Joseph Gaura 23, who robbed Albert Smith on the Thomaston road Friday after noon, will spend the next six months in Litchfeld jail, says the Torrington Register. The sentences were im- posed in Torrington court Monday morning by Judge Bernard E. Hig- gins. An additional sentence of 30 days was imposed on Rinaldi for re- sisting an officer.
 Both prisoners pleaded guilty to a charge of theft from person, after a lengthy trial before packed court room. \ The original charge was rob bery and the accused volunteered to change their plea on the lesser charge in order to avoid being bound over to the superior court and there facing the possibility of a seven-year sen tence in state prison. ... Rr.
 According to the story told in court, Rinaldi, Gaura and third man, alleged to have been "Pete" Marola, started for Thomaston. Fri day afternoon in public service car in Fcompany with Smith. Pietr6 Furmiento was the driver of the car and his services were. secured through Anthony Dome. Near, the town line Furmiento dropped his four passengers because there was no guarantee that he would be paid if lie took them to Thomaston. He left the quartet at the roadside and re- turned to the borough, he said. The four were under the influence of liquor. One of them had pint bottle of whiskey but all disclaimed owner ship in court. They decided to go into the woods and drink the pint, they said. According to Gaura, Smith after drinking nearly half the pint insisted on giving his money away, but according to Smith, one man held him while another searched his pockets and took his money, some $20 or S25 in bills and change.
 Rinaldi and Gaura claimed that "Pete" "bororwed' the money from Smith in order to finance trip to New York. In any, event, "Pete" has left town.
 Rinaldi and Gaura were arrested Saturday morning. Rinaldi put up a, terrific battle with Captain Nicho- las Calarese and it was because. of this that the additional charge os re- sisting an officer was preferred against him. #El<a...
 Gaura is an old offender, having given the police considerable trouble at various times. Among the articles found in his possession when arrested Saturday was set of crooked" dice

Committee on Stream Pollution

Another movement to bring about curtailment of stream pollution in the Naugatuck valley and elsewhere in the state is under way. This time it is sponsored by the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce which is getting together a committee com posed of representative of various interests in various communities which would be affected by the move ment. A state commission for work along those lines was appointed un- der action by the last general as- sembly but when this commission met to make plans to function it found the general assembly had made no appropriation for its work.

SATURDAY, MARCH 4th
 CANAAN'S BARGAIN DAY
Genuine Bargains Will Be
 Offered by Every .> E. Business Man

Other towns have had bargain days at different times and from the remarks heard generally it would indicate that some merchants have taken advantage of the sale to reap profits. Such will not be the case on Saturday, March 4th, when Canaan merchants will have bargain day. If any one doubts this statement just let them peruse any of the advertise ments contained in this issue.
 This will be the first bargain day held in this town in many years and will be a. genuine bargain day. No goods have been imported for this sale and in every line, as will be seen, standard goods are offered at greatly reduced prices. Only small list of bargains are advertised, but we can honestly say that it will hardly be possible for any one to be disap- pointed who comes to Canaan on that day. .@
 There is reason for this bargain day, as for everything else. The time of the year is what is known in the business world as Sin between sea- sons" and to create business during a duli period as we'll as to advertise che town, unusual methods must be pursued. Principally it is an adver- tising proposition, pure and simple. If such were not fact would some of the articles advertised be sold at a loss to the merchant?
 We cannot say too much for the hearty spirit of cooperation which has existed among the merchants of the town during the time this day has been planned, From the outset it has been for the one purpose of getting people from the outlying dis tricts to become better acquainted with the stores of Canaan. Those who are familiar with our stores will readily recognize that genuine values are being offered, v
 Whether you contemplate making purchases or not, come to Canaan on Saturday, March 4th and get ac- quainted with the new, genuine spirit of cooperation existing among the merchants for the benefit of the public.

Annual Rainfall,

There has been recalculated from re- cent data the amount of rain annually falling upon the earth's surface. It Is found that 1t Is equivalent to layer of water of the uniform depth for the whole globe of about 35h inches. The amount falling on the land Is eQuiya- lent to a uniform depth of 29h inches, considering only the land which is drained by rivers flowing Into the sea. It is calculated that only 30 per cent Is returned to the ocean. and that the rest is removed by evaporation.- Washington Post.

AUTO EXAMINATIONS
 ys BY STATE POLICE
Will be Held in This Town
 Tuesdays at Town

The State Police Departme Int has announced that beginning March 1st, automobile examinations for motor ists in this section will be given at g a. m. to 5 D. m. on Tuesday of each week. The town hall will serve as headquarters for the examiners.
 That the State Police do not ex- pect the apparent business depres- sion of the past winter to be re- fected in the use of Motor Vehicles is indicated by the preparations be- ing made by that department to meet the demand for Motor Vehicle Exam nations. A schedule of exan1tna- tions to be given in nineteen differ ent towns in the state has been prepared and will become operative on March 1st. At the places and hours specified in the new schedule examinations will be given to appli- cants for operators licenses, and motorists who have not previously registered their cars can secure ad- vice as to legal lenses and can secure assistance in figuring piston dis placements. '.t-,4
 The coming of spring and call of the roads brings out ever increasing number of applicants for operators licenses. The large number of Non- Residents who choose Connecticut resorts at the shore and in the coun- try for their summer homes also swell the total of those operating automobiles under Connecticut li- censes.
 A'comprehensive system of patrols to cover the main highways of the state will soon be put into operation. In the height of the mtoring season about three thousand miles of Conn ecticut highways will be patrolled by the State Police force. It is the in- tention of Superintendent Hurley of the State Police to do everything in the power of the department to make travel over our highways the safest in New England. That his efforts will be appreciated by the enforce ment of the Rules of the Road, goes without saying.

Not having wherewith- al to build cover for his car, it's standing out in rain and show and wheezing with catarrh. Yet Jay, he loves his gas machine, and boasts of 1t with joy: he'd no more think of sell ing 1t than parting with his boy. His mower, which he's had four years, is sheltered with shed, while auto stands in all outdoors, with naught about It's head.-Exchange.
