TWO ON THE EGG.

There's a secret that I beg
To know, II ! shall live as long,
And all the while be quite ne stFOnR
As the ripened fruit we call the egg.
They fixed some egg and wine one
day
For q chap, while on n cot he lay
COnvalescing with q sore leg,
As he looked on the wine and egg
"This might be pretty good, 1 think"
He sl.id, "F0r q guy to sip and drink
Were the egg As young as h the
wine,
The wine as old as the eggs decline"

Stage Banquet Thursday
Continued from page ~

The evening proved most enjoyable
and many of the company look very
favorably upon making banquet an
annual event. They value the social
element highly, and in a volunteer
organization something like Thurs
days function seems absolutely neces-
sary to cement the members together
and make them solidly in favor of
joining and keeping joined.
Much satisfaction was felt Thurs
day night that the fire siren kept quiet
and allowed the boys to enjoy them
selves to the full. Before adjourning,
a rising vote of thanks was extended
to the ladies for their splendid service.

Branch of New Haven Gives Up
 After 5S Years

Waterbury. Sept, 27. -- After 5S years of serving the public between Waterbury and Watertown and once boasting 22 trains a day. the fast passenger train on the Watertown branch of the New Haven railroad scooted over the rails today.
 Henceforth only one slow freight a day will disturb the cows and chickens along the route after to- day. The pretty Litchfeld county town will have to do without rail road passenger service to Waterbury.
 But only four regular passengers will be discommoded. The remain der of the "traveling public" be- tween the two cities uses trolleys and automobiles.
 The Watertown branch was built in 1871. Trolley service was ex- tended to the town in 1907. Since that time, as automobiles became common, the service was reduced to one passenger train day; and today it made it's last run at 7:S0 a. m.

COTTON UNSETTLED
IN EARLY TRADING
Prices Improve Later Partly Be-
cause of Bad Weather in

unsettled appearance during todayS
early trading. The opening was
steady at a decline of 1 to 4 points,
| in response to relatively easy cables.
There was a rally right after the call
on covering and buying by trade in
terests, with May. selling up to 34.35
or 10 points net higher. but this
bulge met increased offerings and
the price soon reacted to 1920. Other
months sold off also with the gem
eral list showing net declines of
about 2 to points during the early
trading under liquidation, local and
southern selling.

from continued cold weather in the

reports from England of unfavora-
