The purchase of the Hartford, Man chester and Rockville Tramway com- pany to the Shaw syndicate, which was arranged for last April, was com- pleted last Wednesday, when more than three-quarters of the stock was handed over to the American Loan x Trust company of Boston. The resig- nations of the old board of directors of the Hartford, Manchester and Rock vile Tramway company, with the ex- ception of President Marc s. Chapman and Richard O. Cheney, were accept ed, and the following elected to fill the vacancies: James F. Shaw, Wor- cester, Mass. Walter H. Trumbull, Salem, Mass. George A. Butman, Maiden, Mass Harrison B. Freeman, Jr., Hartford, and Fred F. Ames, Hartford. MT. Chapman will con- tinue as president and MT. Butman will be secreatry and treasurer. A meeting of the Stafford Springs Street Railway company was also held and the following directors elected: F. F.. Ames, James F. Shaw, Walter H. Trumbull, Marc s. Chapman, Edwin O. Pinney and Thomas c. Perkins. The Hartford, Springfield and Wor- cester Electric companies, who now own the road, propose to build at once to Stafford Springs, and by the time the new bridge is done expect to
 have a through line opened to Wor' cester. Until that time it would be
 useless to complete the work, because
 no large cars are allowed at present to cross the bridge.

UNION. (COmmuniCated,)

1t IS With sorrow GnaC we uOGO Gn0 death of Francis H. Ballou of Union, who died June 12th of a complica- tion of diseases, after being ill poor health for several years. The imme- diate cause of death was dropsy and heart failure. MT. Ballou was born Dec. 29, 1947, and lived in Holland until, at 25 years of age he married Sarah Miller of Holland, and settled in Moose Meadow. In the spring of 1896 they moved to Union, where, on what is known as the GOOdell farm, he resided until his death. The writer of this article knew him we'll, and wishes to testify to his worth as a man. At 40 years of age he was converted at Stafford Springs, and united with the Methodist church.. A devoted member of his denomina- tion, yet in Christian work he knew no creeds, and his home at Union was a frequent house of worship for neigh borhood prayer meetings, at which people gathered for miles around. He was an earnest supporter of the Sunday school at Rock Meadow, a non -sectarian mission work conducted as neighborhood work for the chil- dren who found it difficult to attend at Union or Staffordville. He was a man of almost gigantic frame and strength, with a voice clear, strong and expressive. Sensible, honest, kindly and capable, he will be missed. Funeral services were at the home at Il a. m. Thursday, presided over by Rev. MT. Thompson of the Methodist church at Staffordville, assisted by Rev. MT. Fogg of the Staffordville Congregational church, who attended as a friend and former cO-worker with MT. Ballou. The interment was at Moose Meadow. He is survived by his wife, to whom our hearts go out in special sympathy, also by three of his children, viz. His son, Frank, of Union, Mrs. Edith Matthews of Union and Mrs. Lima Bosworth of Staffordville.

Oyster Bay, Sept. 10.-Baron Kaneko,
the representative OF the Japanese gov

to Sycamore Hill this summer, called
today to say goodbye to the President
before he sailed for his native land.
81 came here" said Baron Kaneko
before leaving for New York, Ito bring

pupose, am now going back home. |
have been treated with the utmost cor
diality by every one whom l have met
in this country, from the President to
the most inconsequential private clti-

enjoyed my stay. Now that the war
is over, Japan and the United States
must hand in hand settle the great
commercial problems that confront
them"
Baron Kaneko spent nearly three

THE SALVATION ARMY
Some Of the Many Good Things It Is
Doing.

Have you ever heard Of a poor, trou-
bled, sorrowful,S perplexed, hopeless
man or woman appealing fruitlessly to
the Salvation Army? Do you know.
that something like 100000 just such
people are upheld by this wonderful
organization? Do you know that in
20 different homes fallen women are
each year restored by the scores to
honor and life of purity? Do you
know that in three different havens
little children, all the way from nurs-
ling babes to sturdy boys and girls, are
being succored? Do you know that,
scattered over the country, are Is shell
ters in which nightly some 5000 home
less often hopeless, men or women are
| cared for? Do you know that these In
stitutions represent but mere fraction
of the charitable work successfully car
ried on by the Salvation Army in the
United States? How is this enormous
expense to be met? Fools and ignorant
know-alls will perhaps explain to you
that the Army is in and of itself a sort
of bonanza, class corporation, and of a
truth it would needs be, IL out of its
own resources it carried on the stupen-
dous undertakings 1t dares. But the
| intelligent man or woman of today
| knows too well the Salvation Army
under too many conditions and through
too many reasons, to listen to such
folly. The Army just now is making
a special effort to raise funds No re-
ligious organization of history has de-
pended more fully upon the good Of
fees and charitable warmth Of the pub.
! lie than the Salvation Army. Happily
we are not an ungrateful people, nor q
people slow to realize or appreciate
great deeds. That is why we have Q
right to feel a sincere interest in every
thing the Salvation Army undertakes
and that is why We all now take an in
terest in the army's approaching an,
nual harvest festival, Sept. 10 to 80.
Anything and everything of actual util'
ity may be given as an offering at this
festival. There is, in fact, a saying
humorous, but true-that the Salvation
Army can find good use both Of people
and things that no other body in crea'
ten would consider.
! Remember the date, and remember
the cause to be furthered. Be generous
and you will nurse no regrets.
