A New
 Peacetime
 Army (you've read
 about it) has M been organized
 and is getting
 results in every village, town and city in America. Its job is to fight "Old Man Depression" to 8 finish, with the same energy that America caused the World war to end.
 Many have been aversc to buying during the past year be- cause 1t seemed extravagant or thoughtIess when so many were out of work; and when they did buy, 1t was with a sort of apol- ogy for spending any money at all.
 That made prices drop lower and lower as business lessencd everywhere.
 A large percentage of people were out of work and had to be supported by those who were working.
 Unemployment funds conse- quently grew less and less under declining business.
 And so the new Peace Time Army now rallies to the call to buy and to spread the news of new buying, helping factories to give employment and to win this fight against national pow erty.
 The Hampson- Mintic-Abb0tt store Inns been placing nice Or- ders for a bigger Fall trade.
 We are in this new Peacetime Army for
 all it is worth. We doubt if present low prices on our reliable merchant disc will ever appear again.
 The new Peacetime Army calls for every one to buy and to tell others they are buy ing.

his predecessors in the grottos of st.
Peters last night and examined the
place among them which he has chosen

for more than so years on the eve of
the day set aside for the apostle.
The Poutiff, almost alone in the vast
cathedral, listened to special music
played in a distant chapel and trans

loud speakers in St. Peters.
When Pope Plus chose the tomb he
will occupy among the other PontiffS,

"I some day also will find sweet re-
pose in this place"
But he did not show his rs yea as
he went through tonight's ceremonies,

HUMANE SOCIETY
 AFTER POISONER
An Effort is Now Being Made to Locate the
 Guilty Parties.
REWARD OFFERED

True to it's mission, the Humane society has taken cognlzance of the dog poisoning business on Coe street and other places in Water- bury. While 1t Is true that dogs cause much annoyance to private families, the fact still remains that people who feel aggrieved have re- dress in law, and they should take this course instead of resorting to the poisoning method. owners of dogs are responsible for such dam age as they do. There is ample evidence of this in decisions in the courts. This Is 6 proper way of seeking redress. but the poisoning of animals has always met with general disapproval.
 Reed W. Hitchcock of Hartford. representing the Humane society has visited in Waterbury, and Is making an effort to locate the gull ty parties of the dog poisoning on Coe street. He has taken up the matter in q practical way as will be seen by the following notice printed in the Waterbury Demo- crat:
 "The Connecticut Humane so- clety will pay $25 for information leading to the arrest and convic- ton of anyone who has placed poison where it is accessible to cats or dogs, In the vicinity of Coe, High and Cossett streets"
 This should serve as q warning to people who take this manner of getting rid of their neighbors cats or dogs.
