TORRINCTON

Another trophy for "Hefty" Savage, home run king of the local police force, has been offered to be shot at by the baseball game between the police and firemen to be staged at Fuessenich Park Sum day afternoon.
 As previously published, J. l.. Chapin, grocer, has offered one hundred pounds of sugar to the first player to sock home run in the engagement, and "Hefty" has proclaimed that the sugar might as we'll be delivered to his home now. for he is confident that he will hit for the circuit on his first trip to the plate Sunday afternoon.
 The firemen are so confident of their twirler's ability and that Savage will go home runless that they have asked the manager of the most exclusive jewelry store to re- serve handsomely engraved sugar bowl. which will be presented to Savage in case he lis as lucky as he was in the last game, when he stretched fiukey double into home run.'
 Two huge pats-one paddle 5AopCQ anu thC OLhCE 0u CllidtSG- ment of a regulation baseball club have been obtained for use in the game, and the firemen state that even with these clubs the police- men will be unable to touch the curves offered by the smoke-eat- ers' hurler. The fremen will use regulation bats.

Federal Government
Must Find the Funds

There are people so "busl-
ness-like" that they can fig
IRE in cold blood that it is
cheaper to bury the unfor-
tunates than to feed them.
But may we suggest to the
Administration in Washing
ton that it is not "the
American way"?
It started out with the
ringing declaration that ono
one in America will be per-
mitted to starve.
1t followed this up with
the assertion that the small
governmental units and indi-
vidual charity must make
the Administration declara-
tion good.
1t followed this with an
even more fervent declara-
tion that no money from the
national treasury should or
would be used to prevent the
starvation it had said should
not be permitted.
Assuming it's sincere belief
that private charity and the
appropriations of minor gov
ernmentaI units could pro-
vide adequately for the treat
ment of a national problem it
knows better now.
Private charity has fur
nished only a drop in the
bucket, and the President s
commission has completed it's
work it is raising no more
funds.
Many minor governmental
units have appropriated as
much as they can, and there
are no more funds to be had
from that source.
If, on top of this, the banks
are to insist that a rich city
like New York can borrow
money only on condition that
it discOntinues public works
and appropriations to feed
the starving, there is only
one possible solution - the
Federal Government must
find the funds with which to
supplement those of commu-
mites where women and chill
dren are facing starvation
and are being dispossessed Of
shelter.

"THANKs-I JEST EFT. I'LL HAVE A CIGAR"

is exactly beautiful for the time bartender in
his devotion business and atenng foods has neglected
his waistlne.
But picture Of wisdom recommended to the careful
attention of young and old in these days of bootleg posons
The old bartender knew enough rule drink the
whskey gin and other stuff that he sold Looking into the
drunken faces the other side of the bar,
taught him.
But it necessary be polite and profitable
courage the desire of his clients spend money When
asked to hav one he would reply in the words under
the picture: Thanks-I jest et I'll have cigar
He could have the cigar and over and by the
end of the day might have sold cigar for five dollars
The clients did not expect him to smoke in
business hours. '''.' '
This ingenious device put money in his pocket and' kept
alcohol out of his kidneys and blood stream benecen
combination.
Young and old that have been foolish to drink
the alcoholic bootleg posons that benevolent Government
forces the nation these days Of prohibition may learn
something from this picture
Invent good the bartender's better.
With the New Year close behind u.s. they might say
"Thanks-I have cigar package of cigarettes I've

a peach tree, SOS bus, SOS a
pig, SOS a carpenters pay and

isn't the way it works. No in
deed!
Pigs Is Pigs
For instance, consider pigs.
Our States consider pigs very
much worth considering. They
realize that pigs mean money
and that pig cholera means
plenty of trouble and loss. And
they are not only willing, but
they are even eager to have the
Federal Government protect
their pigs.
Moreover, if one lazy, back
ward State got uppity about
pigs and refused to be pro-
tected, the other States would
very soon see that it stepped
into line. For they don't intend
that an ornery neighbor shall
endanger their prosperity;
hence they accept and install
Federal control.
So it goes down the line. We
have Departments of Agricul-
ture, Commerce, Labor, Finance
and Justice at Washington, all
of them putting a finger into
the State pie with never a pro-
test. But when it comes to the
children-that's something diff
ferent!

STATE AS ITS PIGS, ITS
PEACHES, ITS TRAINS AND

How important is your child's

on earth. But do you not rea.
lize the stupidity and vicious
ness of the uneducated children
on the other side of your State
line will bring to naught your
child's education - will force
your child to live in a dark and
criminal world?
Why, Oh, Why?
You're willing to accept Fed
eral control of agriculture in
order to keep your neighbor'S
pigs from injecting your pigs:
yet you fight the Federal control
which would keep your neigh
bor's children from poisoning
the lives of your children.

Justice Holmes RetireS
Bows to Inevitable

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes has written his
csion.
The great uris who for 80 years the supreme
bench, has retired to wel-earnsd rest
is often written of public officials that they enjoyed
the love and affection of the public In no case can this
be more true than in that of Justice Holmes
Nearing his nineyfirst birthday, Justice Holmes had
placed his body and his mind the service of the people
since childhood. It strong body and keen mind
But the body pierced by three bullets in the Civil War;
wearing out. The mind is sharp and active ever.
So Justice Holmes, in his words "bows to the in
evitable" He can longer dissent
Stepping down from the bench Justice Holmes goes into
tremen with the entire nation praying that he will live long
20 enjoy his rest
