Mill Hands Deserting
Plainfield, Conn. There has been a
large exodus ot French Canadian
families from the mill towns of eastern
Connecticut. W hile many families go
North every year, the number is
greater than ordinary and they have
started to move earlier. The business
depression is given as one cause.
The exodus of the French is not
confined to Connecticut, but Rhode
Island villages are experiencing a
similar trouble. In places where
Italians and Poles were many, hun
dreds of them are going home never to
return. For a number of years I
previous to last summer the shortage!
of help was great and mill men fear its
return.

time when he was a newspaper man
gave this as one of his experiences:

If the Regent diamond, as shown in

and the real stone is hidden away, it is
