making a total personnel, in all
grades, of 202. These, with the 800
patients make a community of 428
people, which would constitute quite a
village by themselves.
To further illustrate this point, just
take into consideration the approx
mate quantities of food required each
month: 4,732 pounds of bread, 1866
of butter, 1,542 of chicken, 2,433 of
beef, 1920 of pork, 1854 of veal, 1000
of ham and 424 of bacon; 1920 gal
Ions of cream, AZ of buttermilk, q
070 of milk, and 2,130 dozen eggs;
add five bushels of potatoes daily and
two bushels of beets, two of carrots
and two of onions for each meal, to-
gether with one and one-half crates
of head lettuce, and you have some
idea of the size of this soldier family.
1t is easy to see, then, that the
boys whose war disabilities bring
them to this hospital are well pro
vided for from every standpoint, be-
cause care and efficiency are the
watchwords in its management.

Premier
Concert
Company
Presents
Gypsy
Rover"

The Gypsy Rover" written by
Edwin Riley, taken from the dra-
matte sketch, ''The Butterfly"
from the book by the same name,
written by John Lang, is one Of
the most sparkling operas yet to
be produced on the American stage.
That the "Gypsy Rover" will be
presented by an exceptional cast is
evidenced by the fact that Madame
Omerod, who will sing one of the
leads, was with the English Grand
Opera Company, later with the
Sheehan Opera Company, and was
also soloist with the Chicago Phil
hormonic Orchestra. Helen Ladd
Warren, soprano, studied in New
York two years and in Europe
one year.
George Brantley Riley, the man.
ager, was associated in stock in
New York City and both William
Brady and William Ward, two of
the greatest producers of the coun-
try. The other members of the
cast are equally capable. The
Premier Concert Company will
present "The Gypsy Rover" at
night and Madame Butterfly" in
the afternoon, and in addition, will
give splendid prelude of the best
in light and grand opera with a
few sacred numbers.

The following news item taken
from the Ocheyedan Qowa) Press
will be interesting to acquaintance
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Foley, former
residents of Redwood County. AT
Allendorf the Sunday morning train
took bump from Ford car driven
by Joe Foley as he, with his wife and
nephew Harley Grippen, were coming
into town. According to the report
the trainmen sounded no warning as
they pulled into town but were slow
ing down to make a stop at the sta
ton. In the rain and mud Foley fail
ed to notice the train until too late to
stop and hit the mail car which turn
ed the Ford along side and was bump
ed along successfully by the cars that
followed. The Ford is total wreck
The peculiar thing about the mishar
is that none of the occupants of the
car were hurt aside from a few
bruises. The train lost a few min
utes time and went on without damage
except to paint and varnish."

President Harding realizes all this
perfectly, we imagine, and is very
much in earnest, though he cannot
make speeches in Minnesota himself.
1t is needless to say that La Toilette
is in earnest. He always is. His real
problem is to hold the Germans on a
wet platform, and the Scandinavians
on dry one, at one and the same time.

GIVES SIMPLE RULES
FOR ADDRESS OF CARDS
Inadequate Addresses on Letters Are
Sure to Endanger Chance
of Delivery

Washington, Aug. Is. - John
Brown. barber. Sappington'-if that
is all you know of the address of the
person to whom you wish to write,
put it on your envelope and help out
the postmaster, said Postmaster Gen
eral New recently. Inadequate ad-
dresses on letters not only endanger
the chance of delivery, but give the
Post Office Department a lot of extra
work.
The growing evil of inadequate ad-
dresses has been a problem of the
postal service ever since its inception,
and the reason for more than one gray
head among postal workers, officials
declare. The careless letter writer who
does not put complete address on
the letter has been responsible for
the maintenance of the costly Dead
Letter Office and the still more expen-
sive directory service. This unneces-
sary habit, the postmaster general
stated, saps the efficiency of the serv-
ice and causes considerable delay.
Despite many education campaigns
the Dead Letter Office still handles
20.000.o00 pieces of instructed mail
and the Director Service is
required for even greater number.
ut often happens that the sender of
mail may not know the number of the
street of his addressee, but does know
the street ITSELF" said MIR. New. He
should be instructed to put on the ad-
dress all the Identification he does
know. He may know the occupation
of the addressee, as for instance,
clerk in store, machinist' barber
etc, and adding this may
become material aid"

MILL MANAGE new HOTEL
Corporation Signs Contract to Con-
duct "Elihu Burritt" For 80 Years
After Conference With Directors.

Officials of the American Hotels
Corporation, subsidiary of the
United Hotel Corporation and, men,
bers of the board of directors of the
Elihu Burritt Hotel Corporation, were
in conference this morning the result
of which. as announced by John c.
Looniis, president of the Commercial
Trust Co., was that a contract was
signed and handed over to the. direc-
tors of the local hosiery whereby the
American hotel Corporation will take
over the management of the hotel for
a period of 80 years. Mr.. Damon,
who is president of. the corporation.
and Mr.. Wiegand, vice-president Of
the larger organization. the United
Hotels corporation, are members OF
the board of directors of the Elihu
Burritt Corporation.
The building, it is expected, will be
opened by January /, 1924, and the
management of it will be then given
into the hands of the corporation
which will assume full control of
the building proper.
Mr., Loomis stated further, that the
only profit which the American Hotel
people will get out of the New Brit
ain establishment will be through div
idends on the common stock. He con-
siders this one Of the best criterions
that the hotel will be an excellent
return on money invested, because the
preferred stock holders will receive
their dividends before the holders of
common stock.

COTTAGERS AT LAKE
READY FOR fight
Wambumbaug Summer Home
Owners Want to Go Bathing

South Coventry, Conn, Aug. IA
Cottagors at Lake Wambumbaug here
are disposed to fight the state depart
ment of health over the order OF the
latter body closing the waters of the
lake to residents on its shores for
bathing purposes. At cottagers'
m Getting last night it was voted to
have legal steps taken to protect their
alleged rights even -resorting to an ap-
plication for an injunction against the
state health department.
The cottagers contend they have a
right to battle in the lake because the
water is not and has not been fully
protected by the state, pointing out
that while there Is A cemetery near
the lake the state has never prevent
ed the South Coventry Water Supply
Co. from using the water, although
the law prohibits the taking of water
for human consumption from reser-
voir near a cemetery and also pro-
hibits the establishment of a cemetery
within half mile of a water supply.
The company was formed in 1889
and incorporated in 1908. For this
reason the cottagers claim the state
cannot now step in and deprive them
of their rights to use the water as
they desire. The cemetery is more
than one hundred years old.
A committee 1t is reported, went to
Hartford today to see Major John
Buckley who was house leader last
session of the general assembly.
There are about 125 cottagers in
terested and their property is said to
be worth $45O,000.

HARTFORD COUNTY
DRIEST in STATE
Federal Officers Pronounce a.
corn's Drive Successful

Hartford, Aug. 14.--Hartford coun-
ty Is easily the "driest" of the larger
counties in the state now, according to
officials in the federal prohibition en-
forcement office here, who believe
that within a short time not single
old time bar will remain undismantI-
ed in the state. States Attorney Hugh
M. Alcorn's crusade to close and dis
mantle all the saloons in Hartford
county has been highly successful,
they say, at least two other counties
have instituted similar proceedings
and will restrain by injunction any sa-
lconkeeper from maintaining a bar.
Within a. week or ten days, 167 sa-
looms have been closed in New Haven
county and As have. been remodelled
or vacated. In every case the closed
doors bear the sign CLOSED for alter
ations," and as fast as carpenters can
work bars are being torn out and will
be sold for kindling wood or soda
fountains or carted away to obscurity.
Fairfield county is a fairly new
conner in the crusade but in a week
or so of activity the Bridgeport au-
thorities have closed many saloons
and the keepers of the ones that re-
main open have suspended Jail SEN
fences hanging over them until their
bars are destroyed.
New London county has as yet for
muiated no definite purpose to eradi-
cate saloons, the agents say but it is
being talked of by the county authori-
ties there and, In conjunction with
the federal forces, is expected soon
to- start on an anti-saloon drive of its
own. -..z
If list of the eight counties of the
state were compiled arranged in the
order of the degree of their "dryness"
the authorities say that obviously the
counties having smaller towns, such
as Middlesex, Windham, Litchfeld
and Holland, would have places well
at the top; beyond this and beyond
saying that Hartford county contains
the fevest saloons of the three most
populous counties, the federal agents
do not care to venture. They do pre-
dict, however, that within the month
Not a bar will remain in Hartford,
New Haven and Fairfield counties.

Confidence was expressed that the

fering among consumers.
