Memorial Day Program.

The program this year as adopted by
David s. Cowles Post, No. go, q A. r
is some what different from former years
and will not be as wearisome. 1t is as
follows:
At z a. IN. detail of veterans will
leave this village and pro eed to the
lower cemetery and decorate the sol
diers' graves there. The detail will
then return to this village and at a. m
the G.. A. R Post will leave Canaan for
Ashley Falls. The Sons of Veterans
and the Woman's Relief Corps have
beer cordially invited to accompany
them. On the route to Ashley Falls the
Post will decorate the soldiers graves
in the r. @. cemetery. Reach Ashley
Falls at s 3d. leave Ashley Falls at 80;
reach Clayton at 10 90. leave at 10 20;
reach Canaan Valley at 10 As, leave al
IL Is; reach East Canaan cemetery IL.
After decorating the graves there all
will proceed to Grange Hall in East
Canaan where q basket lunch will. be
served. After lunch, volunteer short
speeches will be in order but no ''orstor
of the day" has been engaged to make q
Memorial Day address, neither is there
any program of glee club singing,
neitl er will there be any exercises at
Town Hall as in former years. The OBJ
iect is to avoid some of the lengthy ex-
ercises of former days.
All flags should be at half mast on
Memorial Day.
General orders in regard to Memorial
day have been received from General
Leo Rassieur of st. Louis, Mo, com
mander in chief of the Grand Army OF
the Republic; also from Thomas Boud.
rem of Bridgeport, Conn, department
commander of Connecticut. These
orders were received too late to be read
at the last meeting of ID S. Cowles
Post, but will be read Memorial Day.
| People who wish to contribute fl overs
for the lower cemetery and the r g.
cemetery can leave them at G l.. Par.
sons & Sons store on Wednesday, and

Misrepresentation Concerning the So
Called "Canteen Laws

Misrepresentation Concerning the So
Called "Canteen Law"
The story in some of the Chicago
papers and which has been so extensive
ly copied, of the riosing and drunken
ness on pay day at Fort Sheridan, has
been proven to be without foundation.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger re-
ceived comm unicstious from it readers
that led it to make an independent in
vestigation and it says: ave have no
end to serve in this case but to get at
the truth The original staten snts by
several Chicago papers are not borne
out by the reports which we have re-
ceived. There was no rioting."
The president of Fort Sheridan vii
lsee in a sworn statement says: No
new saloons have been opened since
the passage of this law and there has
been no disturbance in connection with
pay day at the fort"
A special investigation was also made
at Forts Hamilton and Wsdsworth near
New York, aud it was not found that
there WAS an increase of drunkenness,
but on the contrary spirit of content
ment among the men and less drinking
At a Y. Nj. @. A. banquet in New
Jersey, recently, Gen. Joseph Wheeler
said: For many years the argument
advanced in favor of the canteen vas
that it became necessary because of the
character of the men who enlisted and
that it WAS better to sell them beer than
to have them go outside and become
intoxicated. That may have been true
in years gone by. 1t is not tue today"
Senator Burrows OF Michigan says
that he voted against the canteen in be-
half of the young men of the army.
Fellows who would not drink other
wise have been, to my personal
knowledge. induced to drink, or rather
forced to drink, because they did not
like to use the post exchange without
contributing to its revenues. So long
as even q fair proportion of our soldiers
do not drink it is an outrage upon them
to maintain a csnteen in which the
profits of the drinking go to the benefit
of the compsny.-PRkss SUPT West
