of the world than have ever been had by any people since the dawn of human existence. Despite the present disturbed conditions; regardles of the so- called hard times, we as a D ao- pie are unquestionably far bet ter off than those of any other nation.
 Wars and revolutions such as now exist in so many other lands threaten us not at all :; dire poverty and starvation such as confront millions upon millions of other peoples at this moment are unknown to us. Although the nation, like all others, is suffering from the unprecedented e world ttlde stagnation, we still are the richest and most prosperous under the sun and none of our people need or will starye or go without many of the vit- al things as result. Some may be forced to undergo a tempo rary curtailment of the great prosperity and plenty of eal1i- CT years; some may have to struggle against severe adver- sites for a time, but even they will be immeasurably better off than the starving and semi starving millions of China and India and the grievously i'm pOverished masses of Europe, Mexico and South America. However hard their lot, the people of our land will still have more of the essentials of life, more comforts, and more advantages than those millions of less fortunate ones in other lands.
 Truly we as people have much to be thankful for. And each of us, as we sit down to our Thanksgiving feasting should find it in our hearts to offer up grateful thanks that we are so really well off as compared to the great mass of the worlds peoples and that the soul of the Pilgrim Fathers still lives in America.

 If the snow tractor does what its makers claim for it, break ing the road and hauling 12 tons of ore at a trip as well, the shipping problem will be great ly simplified. The Premier has constructed a warehouse on one of their large scows for housing the ore, and a number of large, flat wagon beds are being constructed for the ore sleighs.

 Crops Are in Barns FIVE CLUBS ON ALERT
State Highway Department Planning Improvement on Turnpike With Abutting Property being Checked ID.

With six teams expressing wiling less 10 join the new soft ball league which was planned two weeks ago. prospects are bright for start with in the next week. Five teams are already organized with the sixth awaiting the harvest of this years hay crop before it can get started.
 The teams which represent six different sections of the towns of Berlin and Kensington are St. Paul's. Cypress Hill, American Legion, Bot tie Alley, American Paper Goods and Blue Hills.
 This last named outfit was the one whose entry into the league was in doubt because of the stand taken last spring by it's manager. John Conlin who stated that neither he nor his boys would enter any com- petitiye sport until next fall. This action on the part of the Blue Hills contingent was taken after they had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of a New Britain setback team
 However, he has announced that he will place a team in the league and will be ready 10 meet the terms of any schedule adopted after the hay crop is safely stored in the barns. This news will be welcomed by all those interested in the league.
 The schedule games will be played tonight at the Percival ave- nue grounds and these will find the St Paul's outfit and the Cypress Hill team at each others throats while the American Legion entry will be attempting 10 take the measure of the Bottle Alley aggregation.
 The games will be started about e:45 and will be played on Tuesdays and Thursdays At the end of the season it is planned to have gen. eral get-together for all the partici- pants.
 Plan Highway Improvement
 A representative of the state high way department has been at the of fee of the town clerk for the past two days searching titles to property which abuts the Warrington ridge section of the turnpike.
 Inquiry has disclosed the fact that the state is figuring on making lm- provements along this part of its trunk road system and this lnforma- ton accounts for the presence of Il surveying gang which has been along this road making maps and laying out proposed right of Way.
 In conjunction with this plan of improvement comes the report that the department will also experiment with a new lighting system looking towards better illumination of this highly travelled thoroughfare.
 Engineers of the Connecticut Light and Power Co.,. with those from the Hartford Electric Light Co.,, will shortly install new lights along 5000 feet of the highway at point just north of Berlin.
 The lights will be four hundred candle power in strength and will be mounted on standards about 25 feet high and will be so defected that the beams will light up the road sufficiently to show up the outlines of vehicles and pedestrians. With the general use of the proposed lights motorists may drive with sAfety with no other light than theiI

straining over the ragged edge OF
the law. but hardly one that the
normal hard working person would
subscribe to in his moe sober mo-
mentS.
"Racketeer" is more or less OF a
general term. and there are many,
many sub divisions OF the game" as
they refer to their calling. Virtually
every phase of the business is dis
tinct from the others with the eX-
ception of two possible points in
common.
These points are, first. the almost
certain need of exercising a cunning

of confidence; second, the further

with enforcing the law, or, at least,
the complacent indulgence OF the

the ladies dependent upon his Il
nancial and moral support would
not thrive.
Found Everywhere
There are variations galore, but
the fundamentals of the racketeers
remain the same. The old time
driftin carnival, and the medicine
show were all, more or less, travel
ing rackets. The former was a COM
bination of every money getting de-
vice. combined with organization to
make the efforts of the individual
worker more effective. These were

towns. the patent medicine cure-all
with an appropriated foreign name,
the bootlegger, whose activities are
concealed beneath a camouflage of
responsibility. and the operator of
even more horrible institutions. All
are racketeerS.
The Numbers"

There are suckers who still fall for
the "old SHELF game. The carnival
CRATER behind the. little table with
the "three balls" is as successful with
his particular racket as the boot
logger. 1t is a game which is sup
posed to draw its recruits from the
country chicks" but there is good
reason to believe that the city man
too, has lost his share unwarily to
this old fashioned racketeer. And the
game still goes on.
