OF THE WEEK
Public Improvements Now
Being Discussed,
LOCAL NEWS ITEMS
Oddfellows Preparing to Celebrate
Their Saith Anniversary-Other
Social Events,

Now that the election is over
the town trustees should loose no
time in deciding on what public
improvements are needed, and
practical with the funds at their
disposal, and Immediately put
their plans into effect. No. time is
to be wasted in preliminaries if
anything is to be accomplished be-
fore the conditions that usually ex
list here in June. 1t is generally
conceded that Main street should
be raised above high water mark.
There are no public funds availa-
BILE for this purpose but it has been
suggested that the property hold
ers on the street could well afford
to raise in. front of their property
at their own expense. 1t has been
estimated that 500 to the lot would
do the work. OF course, in addi-
ton, the buildings would have to
be raised, adding to the expense,
but the whole expense to each
property owner, would not exceed
the expense incident to a single
raise of water into their buildings,
besi'les protecting the work already
done to the street. to say nothing
of the paralizing effect on business.
1t is up to the property owners to
decide.

war OF INpEpENDENcE-
New View ON the Revotution ADJ
vanced by Dr. Emit Reich
on French Aid.

Like other peoples, Americans have
been accustomed to regard their own
prowess az the real causesto which they
owe their independence, ard they have
been prone to keep In the background
facts and names which might discredlt
this view, writes Dr. Emil. Reich, In the
North American Review. The name OF
Lafayette, for inotance, Is household
word in America. whereas few Amer
leans have ever heard OF VerSennes or
Beaumarchias as factors OF influence
in connection with the war of.independ-
ence, though the services Of the two
latter to the American cause were in
finitely greater than those OF Lafayette.
The British view of the war OF inde-
pendence naturally harmonizes with
the American Siew. inasmueh as It suits
the British vanity 20 represent that the
British people. when tScy were beaten.
were beaten by men of their own blood.
Dr. Reich expresses mild amusement
at the supposition that the Americans
in opposing Great Britain were animated
by ideal motives Of right and law. The
underlying and most potent motive, he
holds, was a subconscious purpose TO
possess the vast hinterland stretching
across the continent, and they took up
arms against the mother country at
time when the British government had
practically dehed Europe and was on the
eve OF conflict with France. Spain and
Holland. II is 10 France. Or. Reich says,
that America owes its independence, and
taking all the circumstance8oft the revo-
lutionary war into account, It must be
regarded as an incident in the great ma
tional rivalries OF Europe. DR.. Reich
thus writes OF the services Of Beau
marchias in the early stages Of the war:
ut was this frivolous Frenchman'
who had long made up his mind to
avenge his country on England and 20
wipe out the shame OF the treaty Of 1868
in the most terrible loss eyer caused to
Great Britain. He clearly foresaw the
war long before It actually broke out.
BY means Of incessant memorializing
the French, and later on the Spanish
government, too, he nspiredivergennes
the great foreign minister OF France and
Arada, Vergennes colleague in
Spain, and prevailed upon them to Join
his vast plans. At first two, then moro,
million francs were placed at thedis- |
posal Of the author of Figaro by the two |
Bourbon governments. and Beaumar-
chais. almost two years before France
and Spain openly declared war against |

Beaumarchais sent 10 the Americans
vast stores OF tents. provisions and |
equipments Of all kinds. among others |
10000 rifles, over 200 cannon. etc. in 17f6 |
and 1777. His fleets as he called them.

A "PoLLY PIPER" PARTY.
An Amusing Entertninmcnt for the
Porch When the weather
Is just Right.


Porch parties are now the vogue. A
clever hostess recently sent out invi-
tations for Polly Piper" party. The
cards gave no clew to the nature OF
the affalr and each guest was left 10
wonder what Polly Piper" might
be, says the Washington Star.
When the guests assembled on the
wide porch they found II set. with low
tables and chairs OF all sorts and c0n.
ditions. Gay cushions promised COM
fort, plants and hanging baskets Of
Tered sweetness, but no Polly pipsr''
was in evidence.
On the small tables an array OF clay
pipes was spread, all new and sweet
smelling Were the fair guests invited
to a smoker7 The appearance OF the
hostess, loaded down with sheayes of
tissue and crepe paper Of every Imag-
Unable shade. with scissors and with
nuciiage bottles. relieved their per.
plexity. When she announced that
each guest must make her own ''Polly
Piper" there was an instant bahble
or questions and ekclamations.
Each guest was given a pipe. WIN
instructions that she was to dress ID

time prizes were 70 be awarded 10 the
two whose work should be judged best.
Each one might select three strips of
paper from which to fashion a cos.
tune. Tomske the doll complete. each
one must have a face drawn also.
Tho guests went Immediately TO
work. selecting their papers with ref
erence Of the character which their
particular doll was to assume. Gray
and white papers we're chosen for, the
doll which was TO don Quaker garb:
navy blue and red for the Salvation
army girl; blue and white for the
yachting costume. while the gayest
colors ON the table went to rig out
veritable Topsy. Needles, thread ana
thimbles were furnished. and paste for
those who preferred 10 use Il.
After selecting her materials each
guest was expected to seat herself as
far as possible from the others. in or
der to give undivided attention 10 her
own doll. At first It seemed impossi-
bic to do anything with the awkward
pipes, but by degrees the interest
quickened, and one after another boz
came absorbed in her work.
AZ the end Of the time allowed the
dolls we're required TO be handed in
for criticism There were babies In
long dresses. ballet girls in short full
skirts. summer girls with frou frous

pied paper and picture hats, nurse

represented. But the first prize was
given TO Little Red Riding Hood"
whose costume was not only well
made, but whose face had been drawn
upon paper and fastened over the open
end OF the pipe. doing away with the
little knob" nose which every other
doll possessed She also had been
made complete with paper arms. The
second prize was awarded 20 a Chi
