StratfOrd

Formal organization of the Strat- ford council of the Knights of Co1u1n- bus is expected to be accomplished at the meeting to be held tonight at the Post Office building. From indica- tions, gathered from the number of application blanks requested, 1t ap- pears that an initial membership Of nearly 100 will be mustered.
 If this supply and demand law per- tained to the trolley service to Par adise Green after the supper rush hour, the fare would be about $1.9S, plus luxury tax.
 Even the return of winter has its pleasing points. The roads are frozen again, which makes them more nav igable. Here is a. fact On one street in a. new section, a street where every house is owned by the family occupy ing it, there are three offered for sale at this time. There are two reasons. One is disgust with the conditions of the streets, and the absence of side walks approaching the property from Paradise Green. The other is the matter of transportation.
 ! This section was built up when jit- neys charged five cents from the Green to Park avenue, Bridgeport, and when the riding because of the jitneys was quick-and often- Now the fare over the same distance is 15 cents, the riding slower-and occa-

 When Bridgeport was granted five cent fare" within the limits of the city to the center, Stratford asked for the same thing. The substance of the reply was that Bridgeport is Bridgeport, and Stratford is Strat- ford. The experiment is ordered ford. and they are separate towns" The result is we'll known, only too well perhaps.
 And ehen-A11 the other towns of the state are granted "a, reduced fare, cient and honorable transfer <priv1- leges brought out from under the eth CT. Does Stratford get the benefit? Stratford does NOT. The substance of what Stratford is told is just this: 'tStratford is part of the Bridgeport (more hard 1uck). and cannot be given the three for two bits stuff until the five cent fare" experiment is over In Bridgeport. sIsn't that sweet?"
 There seems no practical mathe- matica1 or hea1thfu1 reason why per sons paying a 10 cent or token fare in Stratford could not be given a transfer to entit1e the passenger to a ride from Bridgeport center to the end of the city line. Neither does there seem any reason why on the CT could not be given a. transfer good on any line crossing the city line into Stratford, settled in 1889. This same matter of discrimination is rubbing

"Trip to M Hu Continued

While on the boat we met a Rus
sian and his wife and another man
who was Jew. The man and
wife were members of the Greek
church, the man could speak pretty
good German, the other man spoke
some English How you would have
laughed to hear us talking English,
German and little Chinese all
mixed together and the men telling
the woman in Russian what we
said then translating her Russian to
us. but we had fine time. They
insisted that we eat with them and
we did. They had meat, fish, cheese
butter cakes, bread and canned and
fresh fruit and jam. We enjoyed It
very much.
Miss Schroeder had little fold
ing organ and | had my guitar.
We got out our instruments and
hymn books and sang Christian
hymns. She sang German, / Eng
lish, the Russians some times join
ing in IN Russian and even the Jew
Joined in with a clear bass without
words and the Chinese passengers
and Japanese officers sat and lis
tened to us. We were group
worth seeing There was l. a re-
preventative of the Disciples, whose
great appeal is for all Christians
to be united on the simple truth of
the Gospel, a Lutheran, the first
great division from the Catholic
church; and two from the old Greek
church, and the Jew, whose bright
est hopes and dreams are of the
coming OF the Messiah, all far away
from home, on Japanese vessel in
China, singing that the King OF
Kings had come to reign and we
were singing to men whose religion
had raised its heather affairs in
China when Abraham walked the
Judean hills. All men are coming
to hear of his goodness and power
be filled with his glory as waters
cover the sea.
The time passed very pleasantly
and rapidly and at three o'clock we
saw the city OF WI Hu. We saw
our friend coming out in little
boat from the hulk. our Russian
friends raised their handkerchiefs
until we reached the shore. 1t

thing of the white winged boats, no.
