The $4,000 bond election for
High school building at Caldwell
was a victory for the opposition two
to one. AS far as can be learned the
objection to the proposition was that
the sum called for far not sufficient
to erect and equip a creditable high
school building.

SUSPENDED PUBLICATION.

Berkshire Daily Press" is no More
 Patronage not Sufficient to Warrant
 its Continuance.
 With its issue of Monday of this week "The Berkshire Daily Press" of Great Burlington. started in March 1906, sus- pended publication as daily and an- nounced that it will be continued as n South Berkshire weekly of eight pages, published Fridays. The final editorial, announcing the discontinuanoe of the daily says:
 "The Press will hereafter be published on Fridays as a weekly South Berkshire newspaper. The daily edition will be discontinued with to-day's issue. Lack of sufficient advertising to balance the extra expense of issuing daily is the reason for its discontinuance. The ex- pertinent of publishing a daily paper in Great Harrington has been given fair trial for more than year. It has demonstrated that while a certain amount of advertising can be secured by local daily it is not sufficient in amount to warrant the publication of such a paper if the proposition is to be a pay ing one for the owner"

RAILROAD RULES.

Conductors Whiskers will No Longer
 Harbor Germs, Microbes and Such.
 It is reported that the N. Y, N. H. & H. railroad is to decree that all conduct ors must shave off their moustaches and whiskers if they have such appendages. It is argued that the men are more likely to carry germs and contagion with them when they have boards than when they are clean shaven.
 "All conductor" must of coarse, include freight conductors, and in their case in particular it seems to us this is a sensi- ble rule. Who wants to receive barrel of kerosene, a moving machine or cook stove, covered with germs and microbes that fell out of the conductors whiskers while he was assisting to unload freight. It is also unofficlally reported that at every terminal there will be erected an apparatus into which the passenger con- ductors will be placed and thoroughly sterilized for ten minutes before they start on their trips, that they will be re- quired to wear rubber gloves while col lecting tickets, to wear patent leather shoes which shall be so slippery that the microbes can't get foothold on them, but will slip up and break their necks, that any conductor whose breath shall bear the odor of onions shall be put off the train, discharged on the spot and be made to walk home, that their shoes shall be soled with sheepskin so that the noise of their tread through the cars shall not grate harshly on the sensitive nerves of their lady passengers. It is rumored that there are various other rules and regulations of this nature in course of preparation, but the above are all that have leaked out thus far.

BIRTH OF THE FLAG.
June I4th will be it's One Hundred and
 Thirtieth Anniversary.

At recent meeting of J. M. Gregory Post G. A. R. of Sharon, it was voted to ask THE NEWS to publish the following, which we gladly do:
 Friday, the 14th of June, will be the one hundred thirtieth anniversary of the birth of the flag of the United States. The flag was designed for a nation of thirteen colonies, stretched like belt along the Atlantic coast, made up of less than three millions of people without common traditions or language; drawn together only by common danger from savages within, and oppression from without, which threatened their ex- istence and liberties. That flag now waves over a great nation, extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Lakes; from the Atlantic to beyond the Pacific Sea: and inhabited by nearly ninety millions of people, who speak common language.
 Our flag is now-in form-the oldest flag of civilized nations. The resolu- ton by Congress for the adoption of the Stars and Stripes on June the 14th, TIT, was as follows:-''R Resolved that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white in blue field, representing new constella- tion." The design of this flag is credited to George Washington, and i'll part was taken from his family coat of arms. Such is the origin of a flag dedicated to the proposition that "all men are created free and equal" Let us honor the natal day of our national flag-display- ing 1t from our public buildings, schools, and homes ill recognition of this mem orable day.
 The men of the Grand Army of the Republic, who preserved che nation in the greatest war of modern times and made vital the Declaration of our fathers, call upon all who live under the flag to recognize this day by patriotic observ- ances in schools and-on the Sunday preceeding-in churches. To this end we suggest that the Governor of every State by proclamation announce the day and promote its recognition; that the press scatter this call-as seeds of patri- over the land. Such recognition will nourish the greatness of our nation, inculcate noble citizenship, the principles of civil liberty, and be an object lesson to the new generations that have come upon the stage since the Civil War. WARREN LEE GoSs,
 National Patriotic Instructor,
 Grand Army of the Republic.

OBITUARY
MRS. GARRETT E. DE HART.

The whole community was deeply stir red when 1t was learned that on Friday night last Martha, the beloved wife of Garrett DeHart, had, within ten days of the death of Mir. Brinton, passed away at the comparatively early age of 45 years. The entire neighborhood grieves with the family in their double bereave- ment. Mrs. DeHart was one of those unobtrusive persons whose quiet home- staying habits enhanced the worthiness of a character so much appreciated by those who knew her. It was impossible to her to seek for the questionable gains of a life lived in the eye of the public. But in her home it was recognized by her friends that she was the one in whom everything made for graciousness and happiness centered. And so it was that those who knew her loved her deeply. Although not at all robust, she planning, and during the trying days preceding her own illness and when suffering later herself, the same thoughtfulness for others and forgetful- ness of herself continued. Mrs. DeHart was for many years faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Canaan, but for number of years pre- vious to the recent removal of the family to Canaan she was a regular attendant at the East Canaan Congregational Church, where with husband and daugh- ter she was deeply interested and. much appreciated, especially in connection with the work of the choir. The funeral services were held in the Methodist church Monday afternoon, the Rev. T. R. Wallace officiating, assisted by the Rev. E. c. Gillette. MT. Gillette deliv- cred very fitting and sympathetic ad- dress paying tribute to the gentle spirit and beautiful character of the deceased.
 The obsequies were attended by con- course of friends, who occupied every seat in the church. There was profu- sion of beautiful floral offerings. The remains were inferred in the Lower cem- etery. Through much suffering made weary she longed for quietness, for the King in his beauty and the land that is far off,
 "where never creeps cloud, nor moves a
 wind,
 Nor ever falls tho least white star of snow, Nor ever roll of thunder moans,
 Nor sound of human sorrow mounts to mar Their sacred, everlasting calmi"
 So God touched her and she fell asleep.

A BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE
NATURE HAS SMILED ON SHARON
Quaint old New England Village has Adopted Enough of the Modern Con- veniences for Comfort-ldeal Spot for the Summer Vacationist.

Sharon, the gateway to the Berkshires, is perched on one of the long terraces of the Taconic range, 900 feet above the sea. It is SS miles from New York, and is reached via Harlem division of New York Central and Hudson River Rail road, and two-and-a-half mile drive from Sharon station.
 The village itself is one of the finest types of "The New England Village, 1" and-although it has within its limits the public Improvements that add so much to the comfort and luxury of its people (such as an abundant and satis- factory water supply, electricity for light, heat and power, and sewerage system)-yet it has lost none of its natural beauty, restfulness and quiet, which make it an ideal village for those seeking summer residence.
 One of the great charms of the village, which pen or camera cannot reveal, is the Main street, extending for nearly two miles through the village, and fanked on either side by mighty elms of a century's growth, furnishing an arcade of living green.
 Near the village is an extensive golf links, which is conducted as club.
 Among the charms of the village is a fine Memorial library, well equipped with the latest reading matter.
 No summer resort is complete with out its lakes and water ways, and in this Sharon is not lacking, as several fine and large streams are situated with in and upon the borders of Sharon township, affording boating and good fishing.
 To those who are fond of driving, or autonobiling, Sharon offers every op- portunity with its many and varied drives, through scenes of never ending beauty and attractiveness.
 Another feature, and one not to be overlooked, is that Sharon counts among her permanent summer residents several of the most skillful and promi- nent physicians and surgeons of New York.

Scarcity of Teachers

The development of manual training in the grades has been going on slowly in the public schools of Connecticut. The chief difficulty in the way oe such work is the difficulty of securing proper ly equipped teachers outside of the manual training schools. Among the other services which the Yale summer School is rendering to the schools of the state is course intended to give teachers practical equipment for such work.
