 Deposits Increasing.
 The deposits in The Canaan National Bank are growing steadily. On Monday of this week they were greater than for any one other day since the bank opened. The institution is becoming more and more popular every day with business men and individuals and the outlook for the future is exceedingly bright.

 Scant Comfort.
 If you sight man wearing pair of russett shoes encased in rubbers, a sweater under winter coat. wearing fur-lined gloves, summer cap, and a look of disgust, as he trudges toward the train, Juggling market basket filled with provender, you may be convinced that ne's one of the city folks who are trying l to persuade themselves that despite the frigid temperature they are having a good time over at Twin Lakes.
 Lightning Changes.
 The Borden milk company keeps their local employees wondering what will hap pen next. A while ago the order came to skim the milk, bottle the cream and throw away the skim milk, next the skim milk was ordered made into casein, then butter, now comes the order to discon- tinue butter making and resume bottling. A small amount of it is skinned. The last order pleases the force, as there is less work connected with bottling than butter making.
 Se6, ,Ooo per Year.
 It is readily apparent that the Borden milk plant is of benefit, either directly or indirectly, to Canaanites in general when the fact is considered that the com bined amount of the checks given each month to the 90 patrons amount to about $8000. or $96, 900 per year, much of which is placed in local circulation. This brings the average to about $S9 per month, or about $1066 per year per patron. And ! the prospect is that the amount will in- crease rather than decrease in the flu ture.
 Twenty Years of Service.
 Henry D. Reed has resigned, his posi- tion as ticket agent at the union station here and on Saturday of this week will take up the duties of bookkeeper and as sistant cashier in The Canaan National Bank, succeeding E. D. Norton. George Drumm, who has been temporarily as- sisting at the bank is also to discontinue work there. For more than 20 years MT. Reed has held the position of ticket agent, having taken the position when he was about 15 years old. He is suc- ceeded by Norman Moore, who has been passenger trainman on the Central New England railroad during the past few years. Demand for Farms.
 Real estate agent A. P. Briggs remarks that the present demand for farms on the part of city people is greater than he has ever known it to be before. He now has SeNeTdl uoolS uuocI way py WhlCn ho GA- poets farms in this vicinity will change owners. The city people, as rule, de- sire places within easy reach of village, places where the land is good, and tilla- ble, buildings in an ordinarily good state of preservation, in brief, property where they can rusticate during the summer or remain the entire year, where the man in failing health can get out, commune with nature, regain his strength and in the meantime have something which will provide him with living if his cir cumstances are such that he cannot live without employment of some sort. And there are some who buy farms for "play- things" to get place where some whim or hobby can be gratified. | The State Road.
