MIGHTY SHARP BUSINESS

There appears to be considerable Justice in the
plant made by Imperial businessmen in connection
with the closing of the Farmers and Merchants bank
last week. if the information given the Press is correct
and apparently it is.
The business resent the action which permitted
the bank to open for business just long enough to per-
NIT deposits of money which merchants held over the
weekend. The bank was not open than an hour
but in this time several heavy deposits made Then
the bank closed
One depositor, whose good faith the Press cannot
question, declares that after he made his deposit he
drew check to be cashed and the bank refused cash
it.
Somebody, either connected with the bank or the
state department of banking is guilty of an extremely
sharp if not dishonest act in permitting these deposits
knowing that the bank would be closed.
Closing the bank worked hardship on Imperial bus
nessmen. Taking their money before closing it, and
then refusing to acknowledge their checks may be
sldered good business but shows that in spite of
many clubs and associations preaching ethics we are
still practcing the old policy Let the buyer beware

Russian Foreign Minister
 Denies kelIOgg's Charges

Moscow, Jan. IT (P = Actine Foreign Minister Maxim Litvinoff today issued sweeping official de- nial of charges recently made by Secretary of State Kellogg concern ing soviet activities against the United States in Latin America characterizing them as fantastic and ridiculous.
 statesmen in capitalist coun- tries lately have taken to the habit of covering their incompe- tence in internal affairs or their aggressive asperations in the field of foreign policy by playing up so- called bolshevik intrigues or plots" said NJ. Litvinoff. Tt would insult public opinion seriously to repudiate these fantastic declara- tons.
 The soviet government cannot have and has no relations with Mexico except relations of loyalty and non-intervention."
 M. Litvinoff is acting as foreign minister in the absence of M. Tchitchcrin who Is in France for his health.

 Berlin spent today and yesterday digging itself out of the heaviest fall of snow that has visited this place this year. Combined with a swoop- ing wind and frigid weather, the snow drifted over roads which had only recently been made fairly pass able and effectively cut off parts of this town from the center. Blue Hills suffered most from the storm and until noon today very little traffic had come down from the mountain district into the cleared roads of kensington and Worthing- ton ridge.
 Few residents were abroad after the evening busses which were striv- ing desperately to keep 10 their schedules, unloaded the last group of residents from New Britain. The usual Saturday night activities were missing and for the most part Ber- linites stuck close to their homes while the wind and snow whirled into high drifts.
 Automobile traffic was stopped at nightfall by the drifting of the snow over the roads, regardless of the ef- forts of the state highway commis- sion's scrapers to keep the main thoroughfare clear While the main trunk line through Worthington ridge was kept fairly clear by the scrapers and the Pennington avenue and Beech Swamp road routes were passable, the back roads of the town were submerged in drifts ris- ing in some places to six and seven feet and at dusk most of them were impossible to automobiles.
 Connecticut company bus drivers were lauded by local residents for their superhumln efforts in keeping on the regulation schedule regard less of the difficulties encountered on their routes. Little delay was re- ported throughout the day and peo pie in this town experienced little trouble in reaching their homes by way of the transportation vehicles.
 The storm abated at about mid night Saturday although the wind continued with it's original futy throughout the night and until noon yesterday. Church attendance suf- fered from the road situation and many pews were empty as the serv- ices began. Milk men from the Blue Hills region were late in getting into Kensington and Worthington ridge. having to employ sleighs which 1ioundered through the drifts where automobiles would be blocked Sev- eral cars which attempted the trip through the high drifts required tow ing assistance before their destina- tions were reached. The Farming ton avenua and Beech Swamp road thoroughfares were leveled off soon after the fall had ceased and the turnpike received attention through out the storm and was in good con- dition on Sunday morning.
 Today found conditions little i'm proved in the outlying districts. auto mobiles still being almost useless in the face of the drafts which covered the roads. Horses were relieved of their winter rest and the old sleighs were brought from the barns once

 storm Cleared Away
 The storm which descended upon New England Saturday piled the streets of Plainville high with drifts. but the work of breaking them out was completed today by the tractor blow owned by the town. This was sent out Saturday afternoon and soon had the principal thoroughfares cleared. but the heavy wind blew the light snow so easily that the drifts soon clogged the roads again and the work had to be repeated. The sudden >,rop in temperature proved a burden to motorists and householdors but a boon to garage men and plumbers, who spent a busy day thawing out autos and pipes.
