school Some brief exercises followed by the children, after which all ad jOurned to the hall to give attention to the bOuntiful dinner prepared for all present. A table was especially prepared for the speakers. Senator Paige sat at the head, on his left Mrs Paige, Miss Paige, Representative anG Mrs Pomeroy; on his right Frank HungerfOrd, chairman of the day, Ed others The exercises of the afternoon opened with the singing of My Coun- try, Iris of Thee," followed by an ex- erciSe by the school children, We are marching."
 x-Representative Mills Hungerford was first introduced. After telling a capital story he read the following in teresting letter from former resident:
 New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 9, 1905. Dear Cousin Mills:
 1 am very, very SOr- ry that l can't be with you to-day. have been to many flag and banner me more pleasure than to be in front of the Center SchOOlhOuSe in my dear old town of Sherman.
 How we'll do 1 remember when 1 sat in that rickety old chair on the plat form and tried to teach the young peO- pie their A E C'S, and incidentally in- trOduced them to few sprigs of birch. How I would like to have been orator of the day up there, but Paige always gets there first. l presume the pole is in position and when the flag waves at the top, it stands for Freedmun. Unity, Equality, Good Government and Jus tice and long may it wave. Don't be afraid to leave it out in the storm, for when it is gone, there will be another to take it's place, just as the younger people will have to take our places, one of these days.
 Sherman has always been q patriotic town and it is going to continue the Same,-We are going to elect the gov ernor next year, and l want you all tn listen to what say. The man proved to be a shining light at Hartford last winter, but after the Sheep-bake at Lake Compounce, We are pleased to say, he has few equals, and no Superi- OTIS, and in conclusion, l wish to pro- pose three rOuSing cheers for Hon Allan w. Paige, of Bridgeport. I am sitting in the twilight,
 With teardrop in my eye,
 Far from the little town of sherman, And am feeling quite awry. If were up there with you,
 1 would help to dig the hole Right in front of the old schoo!hOuSe,
 There to plant mighty pole. Very well know the schoolhouse,
 Where 1 used to teach the scholars, But they sent ne up to Hartford,
 To see Governor Thomas Waller. How l sat upon the platform,
 In rickety old chair,
 How the wind blew through my Whis-
 kers
 And froze Oir most my hair.

Flag Raising In
 Sherman. HON A. w. PAIGE THE GUEST OF HONOR. Addresses by Senator Paige, Rev MT Davis, A. P. Smith, N. T. Hungerford, and
 Others.

The Center district in Sherman had inspiring exercises in honor of flag raising, Friday, the chief guest of honor being Hon Allen w. Paige of Bridgeport, a native of the town. The weather was somewhat cool, but fully POO people gathered and the affair was in every way great credit to the good old town. The flag was the gift of Senator Paige. MT Paige, with his wife and daughter, arrived at Sherman Center about l230, coming from Bridgeport in their automobile. The speaking took place in the Town hall, but previous to this and the dinner there were brief exercises at the SchoolhouSe on the hill.
 Senator Paige, in presenting the flag, said in part: It has been good many years since I have visited Sher- man. It gives me great pleasure to stand on this ground and look into the faces of many who esteemed 25 or 30 years ago. I take great pleasure in presenting this flag to the Center dis trict.
 Ernest Beyers, committeeman of the Center district, said: In behalf of the district 1 receive this flag with a thousand thanks to MT Paige for his kindness.
 The flag was then raised by Miss Beulah Cole, the teacher of the CenteI

This, the speaker thought, was most needed in the country, as well as in the city, life-the unselfish life, a spirit that would do for others and the public good without regard for con- pensa tion. He spoke of the great ben- eft of the country church and added his wor of praise 10 that of Senator Paige to Rev J. P. Hoyt, who carried out the spirit of unselfishness in his life wherever bis lot was cast.
 Rev Dr Davis, the next speaker, said among other things: 1 was born in the old country, England, and so in one sense am foreigner. The com mittee of ladies, who arranged tio splendid dinner, have done royalty. The children also have done amazingly we'll. The flag stands among other things for SeparateneSS. What we want to-day is the individual nome. A man can't belong to every country. The:natiOnal idea must prevail. Every citizen ought to have map of his country on the walls of his home. We belong to great whole. Tie states are like the streams flowing into the great river; the 45 states contributing to one national country. We must believe, too, in our own inherent great ness.
 Charles Evans was called on for q speech, but he excused himself on the ground that ''he was too full for utter ance.'
 Rev MT Chichester said: It gives me great deal of pleasure to look into your faces. 1 have been very much impressed with certain influences Of this flag. It stands for freedom. l wish could make people feel the val ue of dead-earnestness in this some what flippant age. l do hope you young people will take yourselves seriously.
 Nelson T. Hungerford said among other things: When Dr,Davis asked me to make speech was glad to comply

because of my carly associations with our honured guest, Senator Paige. And by the way, Paige as boy was good ball player. It did me good when 1 heard he was to be here to-day. As the flag floats in the breeze we shall all remember it was presented by Sen atOr Paige. The meeting closed with three rOuSing cheers for Senator Paige. AS his party left for Bridgeport in their automobile about 1. 20 D. m., the men lined up and gave him a rousing cheer.

Original Packages.

Is the COW or the car the original
package in which beef is shipped
from one State to another? This is
not frivolous question, but one
which the Supreme Court of the
United States must take into SER
ious consideration in deciding the
case in which the government is at
tempting to prove that certain beef
packers have made combination
, in restraint OF trade.
BY the decisions of the court, as
cited in the Attorney Generals re-
cent argument, the man who ships
a commodity from one State to an
other, where it is sold in the orig
inal package" is engaged in inter-
state commerce, and his transac-
tions are subject to the control of
the federal laws. The bccf-packers
maintain that the freight car in
which the beef cattle are shipped is
the original package, and that, as
the cattle are taken from the cars
before they are sold, the transaction
does not come within the courts
definition of interstate commerce.
When. Boston layman was asked
what he thought of the matter, he
replied, THE hide of the beef ami
mai is the original package, of
course, just the same as the case in
which beer is shipped into the pro-
hlbition States is the original pack
age" But Pennsylvania woman,
the daughter of lawyer, said it
was the frcight-car, because that
was what the cattle was packed in.
And a New England woman insist
eel that it could not be the hide, for
that was part of the beef, and not a
package at all.
But what would these people say
about apples, for instance? Is the
original package the box or barrel
in which they are sent to market,
or is it the skin in which nature has
packed the meat of the fruit! Or
is 1T the freight-car in which the
boxes or barrels arc shipped? The
Companion will not attempt to an
swcr these questions any more than
it will try to anticipate the decision
OF the Supreme Court on the rcla-
tive priority of the hide of the steer
or the walls of car as the contain
cr OF the beef. 1t is such disagree
ments that make business for the
courts. Youths Companion.

Big Fire at Hot Springs, Arkansas,
and New Orleans.

A fire broke out in Hot Springs,
Ark. last Saturday morning about
2:3O O'Clock and burned 40 blocks
of the city. Most of the houses
burned were residences, hotels, court
house, Jail and churches. The loss
is estimated at one and a half mil
lion dollars. This is the largest
fire and heaviest loss in the history
of this city.
Last Sunday night fire broke out
in the wharves on the river in the
city OF New Orleans, which destroy
cd many wharves, warehouses and
grain elevators, aud twenty thous-
and bales OF cotton. The loss is as-
timated at five million dollars. The
freight terminals of tho Illinois
Central railroad was completely de-
stroyed and the shipping wharves
and docks also burned so that it
will for a time be impossible to ship
any kind of freight by vessels or
cars from this point. 1t sounds
strange that fire so near such a
river as the Mississippi, could burn
so much property before it could be
cxtinguished, not so with Hot
Springs, in this city the water sup
ply is not so good, and at the fire
above mentioned on account of the
pumps refusing to work or were
broken, bucket squads had to be or.
ganized and the water to put out
the fire had to be carried in buck
cts.

Dear Sir: Let's have little pri-

You want to know how to do a

look good. Here it is: The cheap
est thing there is in the way of a
good-looking iob-say nothing about
It's being goods Devoe: the regu-
lar thing in Devoe.
The reason is: Dcvoc goes further
than anything else. Lead-and-oil
is good-looking; don't 90 SO far
and costs more. The other paints
are more or less short in one way
or another; don't go so far and
costs more than Devoc.
Devoe costs least of all; you dom It

We can't help it; paint that goes
further lasts longer; we can't help
it.

JOHNSON GRASS.
johnson grass, (sorghum Hale
pvndc) is also known locally as
Means grass, Cuba grass, Green
Valley grass, Arabian millct, Guinea
grass, etc. Governor Means, of
South Carolina, obtained the seed
of Johnson grass from Turkey about
1888. \ few years later William
Johnson, Of Alabama, obtained
seed from Governor Means and
actively advertised its good quail
! ties. 1t will thrive on any we'll
drained, fairly fertile soil, but it is
practically useless to plant it in
poor land, aS weeds will crowd it
out. 1t is not satisfactory as IA
pasture grass for more than one
year at a time. Indeed pasturing
Is one OF The surcst means of cx-
terminating it, if pasturcd closely IA
year or so, then summer fallOwcd
and narrowed several times, then
winter fallowcd and narrowed, and
then planted in some clean-culti-
waited crop.
Planted on good land, it will
yield two to five cuttings from
spring to fall, depending on the
seasons. 1t should be moved Just
as the heads begin TO appear, for
CD it makes better hay; (2,) there
is little or no danger of spreading
the seed to other fields, this being
one of its chief objections. Many
fields have been infested by allowing
seed to form before moving. 1t
spreads slowly by the root stocks,
but too slowly to do much harm.
Contrary to many writers, the
root stocks will stand considerable
water. AZ fine hay as / ever saw
was on lands that had been over
flowed during half of the preceding
winter. Meadows should be fall
lowed every two years for the best
results.
