USED CAR SALE
Jackson Motor Go, of Oxford, Begins
 Extensiwe Ford Sale

Because of the unusual large de- mand for Ford cars on spring or ders, A. D. Jackson, proprietor of the Jackson Motor Company, of Oxford and Spencer, has determined to clean house for the 1924 season.
 The firm has contracted with the Gillroy Sales Clearance, of Stamford, Conn, of which B. l.. Gillroy is presi- dent. Co conduct the most astounding sale of used ears in automobile history.
 The logic Of the sale rests in the fact of giving the buying public what it wants in the way of fair prices and terms. There should not be an honest man who cannot have a ear on the conditions required during this sale.
 The firm has been preparing for this sale all the week, reconditioniug cars, overhauling motors, replacing the tires and getting the cars so that the public will absolutely get their mon ey's worth and be friends of the firm instead of unhappy car owners.
 The company backs all their cars with their Service With Smile" slo- gan, and there need not be a disap- pointed buyer ever driving away from the Jackson Motor Co.

tion for courage. lie is not afraid to take step till a thousand others have led the way and proved it the proper conventional thing to do.
 Congressman Freeman has recon mended George E. Dickinson for post master at Rockville. He was the only man on the eligible list from the civil service commission.
 Pass Child Labor Law
 The child labor amendment has passed Congress and will now go be- fore the various state legislatures. In the Senate vote both Mclean and Brandegee voted for the proposition. In fact. the only New England vote against 1t came from Moses of New Hampshire.
 Mir. Brandegee never declared that he favored the idea of the federal gov ernment regulating child labor,-in- deed, in conversation he has indicated that child labor might not be a bad thing in certain localities where sani- tary factories are provided. But he felt that the matter should be sent before the state legislatures that they might pass on it. He believed that if Congress did not dispose of the meas ure this session it would have to do so at future date.
 The resolution which was passed by the Senate this week has been a mat ter of much interest in Connecticut, as indicated in letters reaching here. For long there has been agitation in the state to get Congress to do what it finally has accomplished. Statistics have been cited tending to show the growth of child labor in various Con necticut industrial cities.
 Tilson For Floor Leader
 The move to make Congressman Tilson of Connecticut floor leader or speaker of the next session has gain ed headway and has evoked a fayora- ble and immediate response through out the state. In Washington talk is being heard about the proposition.
 The other Connecticut congressman, excepting, of course, Mir. O'Sullivan, who is loyal Democrat, are back of Tilson and will presumably have a hand in the campaign next fall for his hoped-for election.
 A new argument being used for Til son is that he is a comparatively poor man, and as such. IS calculated to ap- peal more to the west and middle west than the present floor leader, Long worth of Ohio, who has lot of money If it comes to stark showdown be- tween Longworth and Tilson 1t is pre- dicted that Calvin Coolidge would pause several moments before endors- ing Mfr. Longworth, who has not been a consistent Coolidge policies support CT this session.

 The Longworth- Simmons tax bill is now law. and in signing 1t President Coolidge officially admitted the down. fall of the Mellon plan. So once more is the dearth of harmony between Con gress and the White House exhibited to the country.

 Congressman O'Sullivan walked in. to the national attention last week by introducing d resolution to abolish the eighteenth amendment. 1t was frank and bold step and as such has com manded varied comment. Wayne E Wheeler of Anti-Saloon League fame at once commended Mir. 0'Sullivan whom he loves as Henry Cabot Lodge lover Calvin Coolidge, for his frank ness Wheeler said 0'Sulliyan showed up much better in this latest adventure than in the endeavor to get 2.75 per cent beer. Wheeler hoped that all ene- mics of prohibition would be as free from hypocrisy.
 Openly Vs Prohibition
 The move of o'Sullivan was the first open and downright move to do away with the eighteenth amendment A while ago O'Sullivan was one of forty odd Congressmen to put in bills for 2.75 per cent beer.
 O'Sullivan, for a first-termer, is making pretty good showing in Washington. He has already com- manded more fame than MT. Freeman has during his entire term. 0'Sullivan has an open and pleasing personality, with a refreshing measure of frank ness and lack Of being oye-~eishted with an idea of his own importance.
