A BOUQU EFT.
In reference to Connecticut Jour nalism D the Hartford Post says:

In reference to Connecticut Jour- nalism , the Hartford Post says:
 lover in Canaan, THE NEWS has just completed its first year under the pres ent management, and a retrospective glance over the year shows wonderful increase in it's own prosperity and in the material progress of the town, for which the paper is entitled to no small degree of credit. The record shows what a newspaper, by earnest, well-directed effort, can accomplish for community and for itself"
 We thank our Hartford contemporary for its kindly reference to THE NEWS. It is a source of great satisfaction to us to know that the paper assisted even in a small way in bringing about the pros perity and progress of Canaan and its environments. As we have remarked before on various occasions, we believe a newspaper should ever be loyal to it's town and it's constituency, and so long as THE NEWS is owned by the Canaan Printing Company, it will continue to

WHAT'S COM l N CT

We briefly alluded last week to the growth of Canaan during the year ending April 1st A glance about us reveals the fact that no other village in this vii cinity experienced a like growth during that time and comparison with former years shows that in respect to expansion it was the banner year in Canaan's his tory. The growth was of the substan- tial sort, the kind that results ln lasting benefit. The buildings erected are all business places which they contain are, there is every reason to believe, per manently established. What limit the growth would have reached had it been possible for business men to find loca- tions and individuals to find rents. can not, of course, be estimated.
 What the coming year will bring forth remains to be seen. It is doubt ful if the building record of the past year can be equalled. The need of buildings is realized by everyone but be- cause of the exhorbitant prices now charged for material, people who, under normal conditions, would invest their money ill houses and other structures hesitate to do 80. Others who consider that reaction must soon set in and values seek their normal level, have postponed building activities until such time shall come Of course some con-
 
 struction work will be done regardless of cost of material but the fact never theless remains that the principal barri- or between Canaan and an immediate and extensive expansion IS the out rageous prices which are now charged for commodities. Every Canaanite hopes for the early arrival of the day when the grasp of the trusts shall be broken and an end put to extortion for the word has been passed around that Canaan possesses unusual advantages, is village with promising future and has geographical location which insuIes it's participating in whatever benefits are to be derived from the new electric railroads and electric road ex- tensions which are to be built in this section.

Perhaps Hartman thought a tilt with the President would draw public

city Mr.. Warfield is a native:

ieyed without further lelay. SO /

together we organized circus in the
cellar of my home. My speciality was
the trapeze. We had sold quite a

thing that might be converted into

DANvILLE WILL HAVE A TEAM

Danville may have a team in the
Kitty league after all, according to
news that comes from Centralia,
where the league meeting was held
Sunday.
Here is the report sent out con-
corning this move:
although the present owners of
the Danvile club may refuse to
again place it in the league the terri
tory still belongs to the Kitty and
will be used by it. Another man
whose name was not announced in
formed those at the meeting That he
would place a team in Danville if
given the opportunity.
JerI<water League in Prospect.
The league meeting was a good
deal of frost. Nothing was done ex-
cept to release Jacksonville from the
league and to arrange another meet
ing. There were representatives there
from Centralia, Pana, Nation and
Vincennes and 1t seems likely that
these cities with Paris. and Cham
palgn added or Danville, if there is
anything in the report given above,
will compose the league. This league,
composed of such small towns, could
hardly be expected to last much past
the Fourth of July If it got that far.
Cairo and Paducah.
There was no action taken toward
dropping Cairo and Paducah from
the league, but this will likely be
done when the magnates are to meet
at Pana and perfect the organiza-
ton Of a new Kitty. AT this meeting
the formation Of the league will be
completed and officers for the COM
ing year will be elected. Paducah
and Cairo viii be asked to send rep.
lresentatives to the meeting and un.
less they come they are practically
certain to be dropped. II is believed
they will not come as Paducah 1:

REAL KENTUCKY FOX HUM

A Kentucky fox hunt when it en-
bodies all OF its features is a "home
made" institution as far, in fact,
as those of its neighboring Southern
states. The hunt may be by day and
it may be by night. Both styles of
the hunt have their devotees. Cross
country riding recommends the day
chase; the night lends a charm to a
close race that is Undesirable. There
are hundreds of keen, successful fox
hunters in the South-"men who are
known by the hounds they keep
who give no thought to the riding
feature of the chase, but who can, as
far as sound can carry, tell you what
mound is doing his work and what
hound is not. This is one of the
great joys of the night hunt. The
man who has never turned his back
to bed of red Goals, peered out into
the nignt while the dew about him
CONCEALED into a frost and listened
to sterling race hour after hour has
never lived-wholly. Under faver-
able conditions, and in the vast still
ness of the night, you move but to
close your eyes when there comes to
you from the dark silent woods, the
melodious cry of the pack a mile, two
miles, possibly bpt a few hundred
yards away and see in detail such a
picture as cannot be put on canvas
Your ears are turned to an accom-
panying chorus that the grand or
gan cannot duplicate-if YOU have
the know" If you feel it, if you
have the love of the chase Unborn.
Contrary to many well founded be-
liefs and customs this is fox hunt
ling-high ground fox hunting. No
pink teas OF the club house after
wards, no discussion as to the rela-
tive merits of jumpers but a cold
lunch from your hunting coat peck
ct and a closer and deeper under
standing of the hounds in your pack.
Hunters have told me that they have
long wondered that men could hold
such varying ideas as to the chief
charm in fox hunting and so many of
them fall so far short of getting out
of it the best that is in it.-Gen. Rog-
err D. Williams in December "Recre-

for the treasurer to collect It. There

Kindly call at the city treasurer
