Colobester, Conn., May 20.--Own- ing an entire village and reigning su- preme as:the boss of the hamlet has lost its charms for C. M. Ams of ~~ Mount Vernon, N. Y., principally.be- cause of impaired health, and he is soon to relieve himself of the bur- den of that honor, / In December, 1912, Mr. Ams be- "came, g6la proprietor of the then vil- lage of! Turnerville, lying between Willimantic and Middletown, on the Alr Line Division of the New Haven Rallread, and a few miles from Col- chester. Mr. Ams is president of the Max Ams Machine Co., with head- quarters in New York and factories at Mount Vernon, The attractive feature of the vil- lage is its wonderful water power, At the top of a hill overlooking it is a lake a mile and a quarter square, fed by hidden springs which never fail, and the water can be led down 50 as to produce between 800 and 1,000 horse power. The first man to perceive the val- ue of this lake was the ome for whom thé place was originally named ~P. W. Turner, who started the silk industry there, He smployed more than 200 men and erected about 50 tenements for thelr sscommiodation. When Mr. Turner died. in 1903, his son and widow attempted to carry on the business, but with only fair suc- cess. : + In 1909 the whole property; in- cluding four factories, the lake, the village store and hotel, and more than 2,000 acres of land, was sold to who operated walking cane and silk factories in New York and New Jer- sey. They moved their factories to Turnerville, but suffered reverses. Fires destroyed two of the four buil- dings, and of the two remaining at the time of Mr, Am's advent one was being run as a cane factory and the other was idle. When Mr. Ams took possession of the village he gotj/iegislative permis- sion to change itg'name to "Amston," Taking up his residence in the old Turner homestead, he set to work to develop dnd beautify the site and its surroundings. One of his first benefactions was a bird sanctuary, where the habits of wild birds were studied by Prof. Herbert K. Job, one of the specialists at the State Agri- cultural Colleze at Storrs. The old hotel was replaced by a modern inn and improvements were made all along the line, Peterboro Cheese Board Peterborp, May 20 --The nine fac- tories represented at the first meet- ing of the Peterboro cheese board of- fered slightly more than 780 boxes more than on the same date last year.

Rouse's Point, N.Y., May 20.--Pro- fessional international whiskey run- ners centering their activities in this part of the state, have received many setbacks during the last week, due to increased activity independent cf the U. 8. department of intern- al revenue and raiding prohibition agents, The raids upon hootch-running automobiles, halted while making the dash across 'the Capadian line at top speed, have disclosed that much of the so-called "bonded" and "very old" case goods whisksy is of poar quality, made overnight and touch- ed up with artificial coloring and flavoring matter. The agents employ a simple meth- od of bringing suspected automobile parties to a halt. A blinding spoi- light is turned on the approaching machine from the center of the road. The headlights of other cars drawn up along the roadside are turned on, and the suspect is forced to stop or take his chances with a ditch.
