We read that a New York company with capital of $20, ,0Oo, 900 will endeavor to control the chicken and egg supply of the country. Anyone who has spent sufficient time in the company of an old speckled hen to become thoroughly &C., quainted with her, knows that this com pany is doomed to disappointment. The American hen don't believe in being controlled and trust with a capital of ten times $20, 0,000,000 cannot change her mind when she comes to the conclusion that she has laid eggs enough and de- cides to suspend publication for a time. On the other hand, picture, if you will, representative of the chick-egg trust trying to impress on biddy's mind the advantage of temporary race suicide in order that the broiler prices may soar or the advantage of restricted production of eggs in order that the supply of the ovals may be cornered. No sir, not so long as the old Dominique has a chuck left will she submit to dictation of any sort from anyone. As an example of American independence she is the limit.

STRAY SHOTS

The straw-hats-for horses fad was short-hved.
 The latest automobile appliance IS a folding horse. to be placed under the seat, to draw the machine when the pow CT gives out.
 Canaan's Young America evidently lis tened to some admonitory remarks about the safe and sane Fourth, But few crackers cracked until the dawn of the Glorious.
 If there is any man or woman in Can aan who was mt stopped by 8 stranger and asked Where's that restaurant? " while the hotel was closed let him or her stand up.
 Is there 8 contest on between the au- tomobile makers to see who can make the most freakish looking machine? It would appear so to the man with his eye to the knot hole.
 We received your letter, Maud, and in reply would say, that your diagnosis is faulty. They don't belong to the Sal vation Army at all. You would dress the same way if you wanted the Canaan natives to know, when you came to town, that you were vacationizing over at the lakes. We can see by the tone of your letter that what you don't know about camping would make considerable literature r... -.I

Bill Bryan is spending quite some money for postage stamps these days to bring letters over here to the folks. One of his last effusions finished it's journey in Arkansas and was to the effect that he will see to it that his friends are kept posted as to his post office address dur ing their hunt for candidate. He says he don't really banker for the nomina- tion, but the letter don't exactly read that way when perused between the lines. He says in part:
 'I shall do nothing to secure another nomination and do not want one unless the conditions seem to demand it. en- joy the freedom of private life, and feel that can do some good without holding any office. There are, however, certain reforms which would like very much to see accomplished, and to assist ill the accomplishment of these reforms I am willing to become again the party can didate if, when the time for nomi- nation arrives, the advocates of reform are in control of the party and think that my candidacy will give the best assurance of victory. If some one else seems more available, shall be even better pleased"

It sometimes requires disastrous con- fagration to impress upon some villages the need of adequate fire protection. Everywhere there is the desire for build ings that are fattering opponents of the skill of the architect and builder and there should be an equal desire for a means of protecting them. Some villages have water works plants but an inade- quate supply of hose while others have hose in ample quantity but the water supply is not as good as it should be. The lack of proper fire protection is 8 serious drawback to any locality and is one of the things which retard growth.

How many, many times must we re peat the statement that unsigned com munications will not be published in this paper? Former editor Beckley said it time after time, we have repeated it frequently but still the unsigned con- munications come. In the winter they are handy to start the office fire with but in the summer they are considerable of nuisance Anyone who does not or will 1iot sign his or her name to what is sent for publication, need not be sur prised when it fails to appear. Many an innocent looking paragraph which an editor has inserted without knowing from whom it came has made trouble by wholesale. Sign it if you expect the NEWS to print it.

That iI-Pound Bass.

Mir Lupriens of New Rochelle sent word to THE NEWS last week that he caught 11-pound bass in Twin Lakes and it was astonishing what a furore the report created among Canaan fishermen. The ink wasn t dry before they came rushing to THE NEWS office ill automobiles, car riages, on bicycles and on foot, to find out more about that fish. All doubted the story and all wanted to see the fish, but we understand that up to the pres ent moment no 11-pound black bass has been exposed to their view. All contend it is lake trout land an 1l-pound fish of this sort is too common to talk about and all vowed that if 1t could be possible that it really was a bass and was caught by a New Yorker up here to while away time after they had spent weeks and weeks trying to hook black bass weighing even half that number of pounds, that all would throw away their fishing tackle and never again go to sea on the waters of Twin Lakes in quest of anything wearing fins and scales. The question remains unanswered. Was ita black bass or wasn't 1t?
 Borden BriefIets.
 The various sections of the milk boxes are now being painted dark slate color and it is expected that the assembling of the parts will be commenced within ten days. The paint is applied by the dipping process.
 During these days of summer guests in the country the plant has many visit ors. The city folks are desirous of see- ing the place from whence comes the milk they purchase. All express them selves as being much pleased with the methods employed in bottling and ship ping the milk.
 Inasmuch as it was found impossible to obtain sufficient native help, the com pany has been obliged to resort to Italian labor and number of these foreigners are employed at the plant. They are doing the heavier part of the work.
 The daily delivery of milk reached its highest point for the season several days ago, and has now decreased from II 900 quarts to 10000.
 Railroad RumbIings.

Lhc ObucE uhy BS lunu oA buo oOAoItu persuasion attempted to board a north bound N. T., N. H. & H. train, but missed his hold and fell between the station platform and the car. Onlookers expected to see him crushed to death, but like rubber ball he rolled in and out from under the wheels and finally escaped uninjured by being thrown alongside the rail.
 Dennis O'Neil has resigned his position with the 0. N. k. R. R. and has gone to White Plains, N. Y.
 George Lake has taken a position with the O. N. K. R. R. in Maybrook yard.

For more than twenty years Mir. Sweeney has been in railroad em- ploy at Canaan and Falls Village, and was exceedingly popular both among the railroad men and the public generally.

velopment in the statehood fight was
the confident announcement of the in.
surgents that they are gaining
strength and will be able to show a
clear majority against the rule cut
ting off the privilege of amending
the Hamilton bill. They showed fifty

before them. They also count conf
IDENTIFY on three others, making fifty
seven, majority Of one If every Re.

present.
The house leaders are considerably
perturbed, but keep up their courage
In the belief that the speaker will
pick Off the insurgents one by one In
the course Of the next few days un-
It'll the majority Is reversed. The
policy will be to keep the statehood
bill In committee and not allow It to
be reported until the opposition has
died down.
