OF the United States Army and the
medical corps of the United States
Navy will be placed upon a uniform
basis An effort will be made to have
identical equipment and the same
methods of work, so that there may
be the same uniformity in these
branches as there is in other respects
in the military and naval services. Ii
is felt that if there is any advantage
in having an Identical calibre of small
arms and the same type of ammuni-
tion and the mutual use of a emer-
gency ration, here might. profitably be
similar uniformity in the medical
equipment and medical corps organi-
zation. The President has bean greatly
impressed by the report received

 Canaan's fire company will not con- duct firemen's tournament here July 4th. And there's good reason why. Neither will Canaan's band play on that day.
 The railroad company should have bought what was left of Whitford's old carriage repository, converted it into a platform and placed first-class vaudeville at the disposal of people who have to wait for trains here.
 Some day you're going to see a team and an automobile so thoroughly mixed up that you can't tell where one leaves off and the other begins unless this reck- less turning of the corner of Main and Railroad streets by both horse drivers and auto drivers ceases.

From the outset THE NEWS has been and ardent advocate of Board of Trade for Canaan and we deem it an honor to have been one of the active factors in bringing about such an organization. Good citizens are at the helm, loyal and substantial men who believe that much can be accomplished. One of the matters to be considered at an early day is sew craze. It is a question that must be taken up and disposed of sooner or later but Canaan property owners dread the ordeal because of the cost usually in- cident to the installation of sewerage systems. It was pointed out, however, at the last meeting of the Board that it would be much easier task to sewer Canaan than many other villages. The absence of proper and adequate sewage disposal has prevented many a village from obtaining industries or desirable residents One of the first questions asked by manufacturing concern or persons seeking residential locations is whether there is ample sewerage. And the village that cannot answer the question in the affirmative is at dis advantage.
