GooD MEDICAL ADVICE FREE.

We do not want to cast the shadow
of a shade on the Glorious Fourth, but
there is such thing in the world as
lockjaw. 1t is not a pleasant thing.
over four hundred fatal cases of it fol-
lowed last years celebration. and it is
more than probable that many cases
will follow this years. Therefore pa
rents who have dear children who are
in danger OF laying the foundation of
lockjaw to-day may perhaps find profit.
i'm noticing some advice given free by
American Medicine. 1t warns parents
not to allow their children to use the
toy pistol, which was responsible for
most Of the cases Of lockjaw Iast year,
and it adds: If, however, they should
receive a wound in this way, or from
using any of the customary fireworks,
they should, no matter how small the
wound is, be at once taken to the fam
lily physician or to hospital. The
wound should be thoroughly cleansed;
and, if necessary, permission for the
use Of an anaesthetic should be given.
Washing the wound with antiseptic So
buttons, or even cauterizing it, is insult
flcient and win not prevent lockjaw.
This disease can be averted only by the
treatment suggested, and by injecting a
proper amount of anti-toxin.
OF course. good advice of this kind,
Ieven when it is free, doesn't always get
Ia good reception, but in this case it
Ought to.

A DRAMATIC CONVENTION

In (1ssS) the Republican National
Convention came along. Mast went to
Chicago to be present.
1t was settled beforehand that
General Grant was to be the Republic
can Presidential candidate. The great
soldier had maintained calm and
noble dignity through all the trying
days in conflict between congress and
Andrew Johnson, and was now honored
almost as much for his diplomacy as
for his success at arms. Indeed, the
mantle Of sweet renown left by Lincoln
would seem to have been laid upon the
shoulders of Grant, and he wore it with
becoming grandeur and humility.
Realizing that the convention would
name Grant as its choice, Mast pre-
pared little surprise for the event.
He painted upon large curtain the
White House entrance. with two pedes-
tails. one on each side, bearing the
words, .Republican Nominee, Chicago
May 20th," and Democratic Nominee,
New York. July 4th,'' respectively. On
the Republican pedestal was seated the
figure Of Grant. while Columbia stood
pointing to the empty place opposite
Below were the words, Match Him!'
This curtain, with a blank curtain be-
fore it. was suspended at the back Of
the convention stage. At the instant
when General Grant was announced as
the unanimous Presidential choice Of
his party, the blank curtain was lifted
and the great cartoon, Match HIM"
was suddenly exposed to full view.
The occurrence was so unexpected
that the throng was silent for a mo-
ment, taking it in. Then, realizing that
1t was a spectacular climax-the pic
torial expression of a universal senti-
ment 1.-THE assembled multitude gave
vent to an enthusiasm that turned the
great hall into a pand

In 1856 in that section of the town
which took the name of Chauncey, now
containing Westboro, the committee de-
scribed the tract as bounded on one
side by a line passing near an Indian
wigwan, where there was an orchard.
Gookin, the historian Of Massachu-
sets. in describing the Indian plant
ing field" within the present township,
says that the Indians had an apple
orchard there beforethe settlement ofthe
Massachusetts colony. In every period
OF her history the fruits OF her orchards
have been conspicuous. Early in 1876
Philips war-when the Indians attack
ed Marlborough, among other wanton
mischief they cut down and otherwise
| injured the apple trees then In bearing.
BY the returns Of 1866 it appears that
there are over $4,000 apple trees eulti-
waited for fruit, producing q crop valued
at $4,000 per annunl. Now If in 1928
Governor winthrop brought over one
poor little tree from which sprung into
bearing condition so many trees as de-
scribed that poor little tree must have
been as lively as a cricket" between
the date set forth and 1855, period Of
twenty-seven years.
Which authority shall we now accept,
the winthrop tradition or legend, or the
quoted source Of information?

Editor of the Journal and Courier:
During the past week we people back
in the country towns have had cause
to, have our hearts swell with pride.
One OF the most brilliant students
who received the greatest honor the
other day at Yale was a country boy,
and one Of the women who received the
degree of doctor of philosophy was born
in the little country town Of No-thford.
Conn.,, her early days being spent in the
district school, where she prepared for
HoIyoke.
Nor is this all. Another student, Ray
mond Hill, of North Branford, was an
honor man. He, too, was reared in the
country town and district school.
So say, we may be proud, we eoun-
try people, that Farmer" Pierce and
the others were so honored. 1t gives us
hope for the future. But we farmers
must see to it that we keep our little
country district schools up to the stand
ard, because it is there where the foun-
dalton is laid. r-.z:. 4r.s.r.,.s
