 BUT FLAVOR LACKING

 There has been an abundant crop of po- tatoes, but the tubers have not remained
 uniformly sound The tomato crop has
 been particularly abundant and he has seen baskets of tomatoes offered for sa.e on the roadside for twenty-eight cenes a basket While the weather has been un- favorable to the ripening crops it has had a good effect on pasture. In the opinion of Mr.s Healey there has oe4h q marked
 increase in the number of farmers en-
 gagged in the rais'Sg of stock in Connec- l ticut and Massachusetts. He noticed a ! great deal of young stock on he farms
 that he passed while going over he tail.

England. a beautiful silk American flag to hang with it's Union Jack. The display Of the American and English coiors in the churches of England is an innovation that has come about as result of the war, and is said to be a growing cus- tom Some of the smaller churches. however, lack funds for any unusu1 1I expenditure and ln the case of the church at Dean Prior. MT. Tanning s gift will undoubtedly be much appre- ciated

CONNECTICUT INDUSTRY
 IS NEAR NORMAL

Practically all industrial plants in Connecticut are operating at about nor nal, according to the report made in the Federal Industrial Employment h. formation Bulletin for July. There is a decided improvement in industrial and employment conditions throughout the state, even to the extent of producing a shortage in textile and machine opera tors The tobacco industry. now at it's height. is producing work for thousands. Building trades are unusually active, and all tradesmen have ample employ ment Housing is satisfactory all over the state. The report states that SAools and public buildings under construction in Hartford afford the best opportunit- ies for employment in the city, but that all branches of industry in the city are decidedly improved. There is very little unemployment in New Britain and the small number temporarily out of work in that city are being absorbed by other plants A surplus of unskilled labor is noted in New Haven, and in Bridgeport the housing conditions are still below normal: a surplus of labor is felt in WiHimantic and Waterbury. but not Sto the extent to which it has been Previ- ously felt. The various cities of the state. are in much better industrial condition, that at the time of any of
 the previous investigations this year. Throughout the whole country there is strong undercurrent in the direction
 of industrial revival according to the report. and a thorough canvass of all
 districts reveals an optimistic opinion
 that the country will experience rapid
 advance in industrial prosperity.
 The Industrial Employment Informa- tion Bulletin, is published monthly by i the United States Department of Labor to provide monthly surveys of the in dustrial conditiors of the whole coun- try through the medium of resident agents in every community. The pur- l pose. further is to provide the business interests of the country with a reliable
 business barometer, not otherwise pos sible.

MUST BE SATISFIED
WITH SOFT COAL

Connecticut must reconcile itself to the use of soft coal for fuel this winter in the great majority of factories, schools, churches and homes, according 10 data received by the state fuel administra- tion regarding the supply of hard coal on hand. Hard coal is extremely scarce in this state. and according to Perry T. Litchfeld president of the New England Coal Co, of Bridgeport one of the fore most experts in New England on coal matters, who has just returned from a trip through the coal fields, if the miners and operators get together at once, the
 most that New England may expect is
 but 40 per cent. of its normal hard coal , supply. Coal will not begin to move un- til at least ten days after the strike IS settled, and even then it will be at least the middle of September before any ap- preciable shipments will be received in i New England.
 | Owing to the absence of the state fuel i administrator and the governor, both out i of town, the former in Massachusetts and ! the latter at New London. such legislative
 steps, if any, as may bs taken to cope i further with the fuel situation in Con
 necticut are still in doubt.
