E able with all the shooting that was done. Then came year when there was not one nor has there been one since. Where did they go? What became of Andre and his north pole balloon? Who was Gains wife and how old is Ann? Those are questions, don't you see. Now we are adding another. Where are the partridges of 1907? One thing is oonsoling and that is that they are going to reappear." But when? Some time.
 The near -buckwheat cake parades now where once the real, old-fashioned flapjack used to be in continuous favor. What fond memories that awakens and what grateful visions of the soul-satis- flying fapjacks your mother used to make, from roal buckwheat flour stirred up to raise" over night, and poured out of an old crockery pitcher in measured floods that spread themselves in generous acreage over the capaoious and sizzling griddle, from which the brown and luscious cakes were deftly l Tipped with cute little tin spade, and served piping hot with maple syrup or molasses and ham gravy. Maybe they know how to make the same kind of pancakes in these days, somewhere but how much oftener the order for a plate of pancakes brings out just three of those little tasteless terra cotta things made of plaster-of- paris stirred up with some kind of patent composition to give them complexion, and nothing about them to remind you of the pancakes your mother used to make.

 EDITOR THE NEWS:
 With much interest I read the two articles on ''The Use of Public Libraries published in THE NEWS last week an( the week before. For two reasons I wal pleased to see these articles in print first because believe it most excellen training for these young people to writ, for their local paper, and second, becaus, I believe these articles brought out som, facts which the public should seriousl, consider. Sharon has beautiful librar, building and we are proud of it, we talk, pleasure in pointing 1t out to the strange and in discussing It's interior and ex ! terior attractiveness. But while it can ] not be gainsaid that the institution is O great benefit to the townspeople il general. I do not believe the benefit are as far-reaching as they should be. believe the pupils who wrote the article above mentioned are correct ill thei contention that the privileges of tn, library should be extended to the school In the Sharon school, as we'll as in ever other school ill the land are the boys ant girls who are to compose the citizenship of this country when those on whom nov ; rests the responsibility of steering tn ship of state lay down their heads in tn ' final sleep. These young people shoul' , not be denied any opportunity for gain ing information, every avenue leadin, to knowledge should be open to them an, 7 if the books in the Sharon library vii
 be of assistance to them. as confdentl, ) believe they will, they should have fire I access to them. Before this institution can fulfil it's mission to the fullest exten it must allow to pupils and other know . ledge seekers free acceSs to tho bup , dreds of volumes it contains.
