fspeciaI to the DemocraD

Torrington, March High winds and drifting snow have kept yeverybody at Camp Tourney busy with shovels and blows during the past week in order to keep roads sopen so that communication with the surrounding cities could be maintained. With all paths and roads in camp now clear one won- sders if the high piles of snow will lever disappear. The old cry, "1t .can't last much longer" is heard .often around camp, but most of us still doubt it.
 Work and play were pleasantly combined recently when about six men put on snow shoes and started out to feed game and song birds in the vicinity reported to be in danger due to lack of food and weather conditions. About two hundred pounds of bird seed and scrap bread from the kitchen has been distributed in the woods. The .men reported rabbit and squirrel .tracks in the vicinity of the food and that the song-birds were tame -enough to eat from their hands. A. M. dldSseI dlIl'eu at 1aii'p .Teumey February 27.

Selling Hurt Stocks
 First Days OF Week
But Pressure Was Lifted in Latter Part and List RalIied-Traders Followed Washington Advices

steady on the week Electrical equipment issues were strong.
 Business news was mostly favor- able. Storms in the east interferred with railroad traffic and tended to reduce car 1oadings as compared with the previous week. Electricity output made the best percentage gain over the previous year since the week ended August IS, 1893. Steel operations rose to 47 per cent of capacity, the best since last August. Automobile production held up and some further gains were made despite strikes in the industry. The latter were coming to an end late in the week. Retail trade resumed it's stride after last weeks setback.
 The biggest adverse feature in the list of uncertain factors was the stock market regulation bill now being discussed in Washington. Millions of words of testimony and investigation have been spoken or written on the subject and thus far there is no definite indication of what will be done finally. The street is worried lest a drastic bill go through which might curtail trading sharply, and bring heavy liquidation of accounts and bank loans not properly margined under new requirements.

New York, Mar 3--(UP)-
 Stocks went through further sell ing on a small scale in the past week, but pressure lifted late in the week, and the list showed good rallying tendencies.
 Wall street traders followed Washington advices much more carefully than it did business sta tistics. The latter included several major items such as the presidents s statements on communications and the tariff, Secretary Morgenthau's plea for another year without de- finite monetary legislation, and re- Eorting out of the Bankhead bill to control cotton.
 The Morgenthau statement caused temporary instability of the markets, but on second considera- tion the street found nothing in it to change what already had been known, namely the monetary plans in operation now are an experi- Inent subject to change when and if need arises. The tariff state ment was seen as opening the way for trade in commodities and
 hence beneficial to the farmers. The communications statement asking a federal communications commission was interpreted to mean nothing would be done re- garding a merger of communica- tons companies until next year.
 Trading in stocks was quiet all week. The volume for the full sweek-the first full week since that ended February 10-was un- der that for the preceding week W hich was curtailed by the Wash !. ington's birthday holiday. Tickers l. Jagged along at snail pace most of the time, although in the last half hour Friday they were forced !. behind minutes on burst of .actiyity that followed action of sGeneral Electric directors in de- sclaring a higher dividend than that spaid in the preceding quarter. A better tone in steel shares was highly favorable. This sgroup responded to reports from sthe industry that the operating rate -is now Al per cent of capacity, the highest since last August. Automo- sbile companies are continuing sheayy production and their demand sfor steel is on the increase.

COULDN'T KEEP
 COWS IN HOTEL

Oklahoma City, Mar. 3-UP)- It was not Robert Durkee's fault that no cows were registered at his hotel today.
 Durkee was the soul of hospital- ity when two local wits, Mary lief lin and Connie Harris brought a Jersey milk COW to his hostelry. He offered to provide parlor suite if Heflin and Harris could get the COW inside. But Bossy found it impossible to negotiate the revolving door at the entrance.
 Hefiin and Harris originated the idea of giving the COW taste of high life when they heard of Dur kee's idle jape at the expense of a rival innkeeper who refused ae- comodation for Katherine Cornell, the actress, because she brought her pet dogs along.
 "We'll take care of anything from dog to a cow,' Durkee boasted.
 Some time later Hef1in and liar ris brought the COW to the curb in front of the hotel.

 CAUGHT IN TRAP

 Pure Foods Act

Nanny Strewl Creates Wild Scene as He Hurls
 Oaths in Court

Albany, N. r., March 3--(UP)- Lieut. John J. O'Connell, Jr. 25- year-old nephew of Edward and Daniel O'Connell, upstate demo- cratic leaders, resumed his testi- mony today as the states star witness in the kidnapping trial of Manning Strewl.
 Young O'Connell, who 'identi- fed" Strewl as one of the gang which kidnapped him, was to give details of his abduction and re- lease 23 days later on payment of $40,0O0 ransom.
 O'Cenneil was asked if he could identify the man who entered his room while he was captive.
 "Yes, that man sitting there" o'Connell replied, pointing his fin- ger at Strewl.
 The accusation created a stir in the crowded courtroom and ap- peared to stun Strewl. Then the defendant, who acted as "go-be- tween' during negotiations for O'ConnelPs return, deelared:
 "You're a liar. saved your life, you and here you try to hang me-"
 Judge Gallup rapped for order. Strewrs counsel, Daniel H. Prior. tried to quiet him, but he contin- ued.

 The court also sets forth in it's order that it must be furnished with an Identification agreement, idemnifying the receiver against any and all claims. The court orders, further, that the sale shall not be consummated until the re- ceiver has furnished evidence of the fact that new corporation, to be organized for the interest of the creditors, has adequate capital to justify reasonable expectation of successful operation.
 Still further, Judge Els ruling requires that the sale of the assets shall not be approved until after the receiver has paid all common creditors. not represented by the trustees. not less than per cent dividend.
 Furthermore, all creditors not represented by the trustees are to given an opportunity at this time of coming in on the new corpora ton. The creditors represented by the trustees are to give the receiv- CT a full release and discharge be- fore the sale will be finally approved by the superior court.
 After all the orders of the su- perior court are complied with the court will then formally entertain a motion for termination of the receivership and formal sale of the assets. James R. Sheldon is receiver of the Beardsley and Wol- colt company. The trustees are c. Dana Tyack and F. T. Phillips of this city and lyle A. Brown of Boston. The reorganization of the firm will, it is felt, mean greater action at the plant and an increase in employment.

 Back al the jail, it was revealed that the break occurred at the regu lar hour for releasing the prisoners from cells for exercise. The guards evidently were taken by surprise.

COMMUNISTIC ATHEISM
AND ITS CONSEQUENCES
By AIgernon Goodboy, Elwood.


am glad to see voices raised in
a relentless fight against Communist
atheism I myself was unaware OF
the far-reaching influence of COM
munistic teachings until short
time ago, when, after a careful sur
vey in a large city I could, to my
establishment. find only two persons
who still chung to their sublime faith
in the Bible and still believed the
earth is flat.
But there is rift in the dark
clouds lowering over our country
which points to the fact that we
have not gone entirely atheistic be-
cause of the communistic teachings.
1 had never understood clearly a
certain quotation in the Bible until
short time ago when a minister
during a sermon said:
On, how I like to see little
children suffer. because the Lord
said. Suffer little children to come
unto me-" and according 10
statistics given out a few days ago
by the National Board of Education
there are more than three million
children Of school age who are suf-
fering from lack of food and proper
clothing so that would prove that
We still are a Christian nation
1t is notorious fact that the
Communists will stop at nothing to
enforce their atheistic ideas upon
the people. For example, in Russia,
where, after centuries of patriotic
devotion. the people learned to Wor-
