 The Old Mill Stones.
 Fifty years ago two large mill stones ! were taken from the Red Mills at Ashley Falls, having outlived their usefulness forrgrinding feed. They were placed in field near the mill. being regarded as worthless So they were for grinding feed, but of late many covetous glanoes have been cast at them by landscape arr lists and owners of expensive houses and expansive grounds. A few days ago bothi were sold, one to a landscape architect, who proposes to use it in beautifying an estate at Stratford, Conn, and the other to Mise Anna Brown of this village, who isto use it for ornamental purposes on her High steeet premises. The stones weigh 1900 pounds each and each is in one piece, having been cut from solid rock. Inasmuch as modern methods of feed grinding do not require these heavy and cumbersome stones, they have come to be regarded as considerable of curi- osity and reminders of by-gone days. school Notes

THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1907.
SPEAK OUT

Only one week before February and If Canaan gets that shirt plant, it means that more hustling must be done.
 The prospect of obtaining the plant is brighter now than it has been at any time since the subject was first men, tioned in THE NEWS. During the past week many applications for employment have been made but the total number does not yet reach one hundred and one hundred we must have or the shirt con- cern will not consider Canaan as a loca- ton.
 We are also aware that there are per- sons who have either filled out the cou- pons or who have decided to do so but who have not notified the Board of Trade of their intention to accept work. How many such there are we do not know, but we wish to appeal to them to send in their names. If you will make shirts, "speak right out in meetin." Doit now. As we said last week, a mental resolve to accept employment will not get the industry for Canaan. If you do not ex- press your intention, the Board of Trade has no way of knowing that you desire the employment. The shirt concern will not locate in Canaan on the assur- ance that ..probably there will be plenty of help" No concern would do this. They must KNOW that there will be suf- f1cient help. It means the investment of a large amount of capital to locate plant in Canaan and no concern wishes to do this if the outcome of the venture is decidedly problematical.

THOSE PENS AND JAcKkNivEs
Speak outi

Things have come to pretty pass in- the old nutmeg state when congress man, representative or some other of- flee holder can t keep his political fences in repair by presenting fountain pen every year to Bill Smith of Seekonk Cross Roads or jackknife to Ezra Green of Blueberry Corners as hint to "Biu' and "Ez" that they are to see to 1t that .'the boys" keep in line. To be sure "Bill" sometimes in past years, re- marked to his spouse, when his annual fountain pen turned up, that he hadn't had the :" 'kivver' off the one he got last year" and would rather have @ pig pen and "Ez'' remarked to ''the folks" that he wished he could have something beside jackknives because he "got the hull family fixed out with knives year before last" and "them what cone the past couple of years was just goin' to waste' but it showed to "Bill" and "Ez" that their congressman or senator or rep- resentative or whoever he is, hadn't for kObLtu bIlOln Cnu O1ldO uiAOy WOAO opAAA considered "some pumpkins"
 If the office holders wish to continue the fountain pen to- Bill-knife-to-E Ez- box-of stationery to- Maria policy they'll have to dig down in their jeans for the wherewith to settle the bills for the reason that the m ak CTS of laws have adopted resolution which makes it impossible to spend $15,00O 8 year for these things. The fellows in the senate and assembly chairs are entitled to sympathy. Being obliged to skirmish around and raise $15, 5,0O0 to pay for these little remembrances to their constituents is no joke at the present time. And what did these paltry $15,0Oo amount to when the whole whole state paid the bill? A mere bagatelle.
 But who gave the thing away, any way? How did the public catch onto the knife and pen racket? The office holders didn't tell, the fellows who sold the pen and knives didn't tell, "Bill'' and "Ez" said nothing about it, now who could it have been?
 We'll bet, come to think, we can To. cate the fellow who "peached," He's the man who failed of reelection there fore is out of the knife and pen distribu tion ac state expense and in order tc make it impossible for those who con tinue in office to send these things tt the Bills and Ezras throughout nutmeg

How to Treat a Crushed Finger.

A crushed finger should be plunged into water as hot as can possibly be borne. This application of hot water causes the nail to expand and soften, and the blood pouring out beneath It has more room to flow. Thus the pain is lessened The finger should then be wrapped In a bread and water poultice. A damned finger should never be neg lected, as 1t may lead to modification of the bone if it has been badly crushed

How to Neep Bureaus Neat.

The bureau drawer, the bane of ev- cry normal woman's existence, Is hard to manage. Inspired by a violent at- tack of neatness on q certain night, or dinarily after she has come home from the theater or evening party, she un- dertakes the difficult task and with su- perhuman efforts and energy neatly folds all her neckties in one pile, belts in another and "turnovers" in another
 The next morning she arises a little later than advisable, is not oversweet tempered, makes q dash at her neat bureau drawer and in her frenzied search for her pet belt or ribbon all her work of the night before is in a state of upheaval The proper piles have all become parts of one big blooming con- fusion. The first suggestion as a cure for this unsystematic arrangement Is to have as few accessories as possible. Get rid of all the old necktes that are seldom worn and are simply kept for old times sake. Then secure collec- ton of boxes of various sizes, each with little lid that lifts on hinges, and In one box may be kept all that Is needed of shoestrings, In another hand kerchiefs, in another ties, and so on. When the owner gets used to this very inexpensive and thoroughly satisfac- tory arrangement, she will look with horror upon the old days when her top bureau drawer was in a state of chaos.

How to Lengthcn the Life of Gloves.


 Too much cannot be said about the necessity for proper care in removing gloves from the hands, for upon this more than anything else depends the length of time a pair of gloves will wear, says the New York World. Aft CT unfastening the glove 1t should be turned back over the hand as far as the fingers and then should be pushed off without pulling on the fingers of the glove at all, as when this Is done the threads of the sewing are broken and In a short time begin to rip. After the glove Is off the hand the fingers should be gently strengthened out, the gloves smoothed into shape and put into box to keep them from the air as much as possible, as 1t Is the air and the moisture In it that rot the fine thread with which glove Is sewn.

warshipS needed TO maintain the
principal navy yards never miss an
opportunity of making it appear that
the building of the battleship Con-
necticut at the .>ew York yard was
a costly and Improbable undertaking
While it has always been admitted
that the labor cost of navy yard build
ing would show an increase over the
figures paid by private contractors it
was contended that in all other re-
spects the record would be in favor
of the gOvernment-buiIt ship. The
facts show that the Connecticut was
actually constructed as rapidly as her
sister ship, the Louisiana, and would
have been commissioned as soon,
had 1t not been for Il legal obstacle
encountered which prohibited the eX-
ceeding of the appropriation for any
purpose for any one fiscal year. This
law made II necessary to suspend
work on the Connecticut for several
months until the new fiscal year
made fresh appropriations available.
With the single exception of the
Louisiana no battleShip was ever
built in this country in as short a
time as the Connecticut. Until the
competition of the navy yard came
into existence as a factor in warship
building contractors took their time
in completing government work, well
knowing that congress would not
exact the penalty for exceeding the
contract time. Work on waTshipS
would be stopped for long periods at
a time in order to employ the force of
skilled workmen on other classes of
work where penalties would be exacted
for every nOn-fulfillment of the letter
of the contract. AS result it took any
where from four 10 five years to con
struct a battleship under contract
with private firms The work of the
New York navy yard on the Connect
cut and the stimulating influence
which that work had on the contract
or building the Louisiana made it
manifest that a battleship could be
built and completed ready for sea
within period of three years
Recognizing that the record Is
against their contentious, the enemies
Of warship building at navy yards are

worthy vessel They point to various

career, the typhoid fever which broke
out on her curing the cruise in the
West Indies and the grounding in
Culebra harbor, as If these mishaps
could have the remotest ASSOCIATION
with the fact that she was built at a
navy yard.
1t is to be hoped that the govern
ment will keep alive the policy OF
having some Warship building going
on at all times in the leading navy
yards. Such a policy is pursued in
all countries maintaining considerable
fleets, and may be accepted as the
result of long years of experimenting.
At the present time two naval Golfers
are being constructed by the govern
ment at the New York and Mare
Island navy yards, and it is hoped
that the navy department may yet de-
eide TO build one of the 20,000-tOn
battleships at the New York or Nor
folk navy yards. The construction
departments Of both those yards, as
well as some of the other yards,
have been directed to prepare estI-
mates and specifications as to the
cost of undertaking the work. The
act of congress authorizing two nam
moth battIeships gives the secretary
of the navy ample discretionary
power in the matter of constructing
the ships either at the government
plants or by private contract.
