GOOD FOR MIR. GOLD

Here is a Man who Has Done Some
 thing Toward Reforestation. That 33rd degree member of the Boost CT Club who has done something toward reforestation in this section is Judge Charles L. Gold of Cornwall. He writes to the NEWS as follows Editor Conn. Western News. Dear Sir
 In reply to your inquiry for one who has done some practical forestry I would say that have set this spring 5000 white pine trees. I have also done some thin ming in the chestnut sprouts under the direction of the state Forester. Three years ago set out 300 black locust which did not do very we'll but the pines set this spring are nearly all alive.
 Yours respectfully,
 c. L. GOLD. Good for Mir Gold. There should be others of his ilk and many of them.

FIGHTING GYPSY MOTHS
How Massachusetts will Suppress the
 Pests

How Massachusetts will Suppress the
 Pests.
 In asking the Massachusetts Legisla ture for total appropriation of $500, ,00C to cover the expense of the warfare this year against the gypsy and brown tai moths, Archie A. Kirkland, state super intendent for the suppression of insect pests, said that over S0,000 parasites of the moths have been let loose from the experiment station at Melrose Highlands and that 20,0o0 more will be ready for liberation within few days.
 This action Is regarded as a most nm portant step in the campaign of the United States department of agriculture and the state authorities against the destructive moths and the result will be watched with keen interest in every locality where these insects have ap- reared. It represents the latest and llost scientific method of dealing with a problem. The scientists say there is every reason to believe that in time these parasites will accomplish the practical suppression of the gypsy moth here, as they have in Europe.

CANAAN ODD FELLOWS
Grand Officers Present at Institution of Lodge.

oI IooRC.
 The organization of the Canaan lodge of Odd Fellows last Friday evening was the most imposing event witnessed in many months in Canaan fraternal circles.
 Although the lodge room in H. R. Whitford's building is not completed, she work was far enough along to per init the holding of the meeting and when the changes and improvements now planned are oonsummated, the Odd Fellows and Forssters will have quarters of which they will feel justly proud. The building is admirably adapted to the purpose for which it is now being used.
 Visiting Odd Fellows came from Hartford, New Milford, New Haven, Great Harrington, Winsted and other places.
 In the afternoon the lodge was for mally instituted and the officers duly in- stalled by Grand Master Hurlburt of New Britain, Deputy Master Kiersted of Hartford and Grand Secretary Hutchinson of New Haven. The initia- ton was in charge of Charles B. Moore of Winsted, who holds the office of Dis trict Deputy Grand Master and it was 1 by him that the appointIve officers were installed at the conclusion of the degree work.
 i The Grand officers above mentioned all responded to the call for a few re- marks and the spirit of brotherly love was evidenced by the Winsted Odd Fellows when Deputy Moore in behalf of Clifton Lodge of Winsted, presented the Canaan lodge with a beautiful and Massive Bible with suitable inscription on the outside of the, front cover. l The lodge will be known as Canaan lodge No. 90, I. O. O. F. There were S5 charter members or a total of 42 and several more applications for member ship are in readiness for presentation. It is not planned, however, to confer degrees until July 1st or thereabouts in asmuch as there IS, at present, no de- gree team.
 At the conclusion of the Friday even ing ceremonies. refreshments were served in the rooms on the first floor of the building and the affair from start to finish was pronounced one of both pleasure and benefit.
 The newly elected officers of the lodge are as follows:
 N. G., W. D. Sheldon; R. S., H. H. Stanton; L. S., Ivanhoe Scott; ". C., A. J. Wigglesworth; V. G. l.. S., Geo. Hardenbergh; V. G. R. g., w. Wright; R. s. S., Norman Moore; L. s. S., Henry Whitford; Sec. E. L. Roberts; Treas, Sylvester Marshall; Warden, J. 0. Roraback; O. G., Henry Hoag; I. G., Charles Sheldon; Fin. Sec, O. T. Vos- burg; Conductor, V. M. Coe; Chaplain, G. w. Parsons.

BOYS SCHOOL

Another About to be Established in
 Berkshire.
 South Berkshire is fast becoming the home of summer and preparatory schools for boys and soon there will be four of the institutions dotted here and there among the Berkshire hills. It is an &C., knowledged fact that the promoters could not select a better place for the carrying on of such an undertaking and many are of the opinion that ill the near future it will mean that a college will be built in close proximity. Only year ago the Sedgwick institute was the only preparatory school in this section and to-day there are two, and in September the third and possibly the fourth will be in full operation, At the Glenny place in Sheffield is located the Berkshire school, which is as fine an equipped boys school as one cares to visit and the pat ronage is good. Gerald Hallock, who is to open the "Hallock school" at Bamil- ton Grange, the summer home of the late W. E. Tefft, will have one of the best schools to be fonnd. The latest and one of the most important moves in the educational work on these lines is the purchase of the O. o. Walbridge farm at Egremont of about 300 acres and in ad- dision the adjoining "Sky farm" of GA acres of historic fame for . school.

T WILL BE A RARE
 MUSICAL FEAST
CANAAN CHORAL UNION CONCERT
Larger Sale of Seats Than Ever Before MT. StoeckeI Takes Sevenh-five Seats For the Canaan and SaIis- bury Concerts.

This weeks rehearsal was postponed from Tuesday night until tonight. The stage will be erected today and the Chorus members are requested to come at 7:l5 that seats may be assigned. The sale of seats turned out to be quite pleasant affair. The people waited in the hall and Mrs. Bullock sang and Mir. Smaller gave a piano selection. There was more money taken in at the sale than at any previous sale. A few more evening seats may be had by applying to R. D. Pierce. 1t was not expected that the seats for the afternoon concert would sell as fast as those for the evening but the sale so far has been satisfactory. These tickets can be had at F. R. Col | lin's.
 Those who want to get the most out of the Concert will read the story of 1 Elijah as found in the books of Kings. It will give better understanding of the oratorio and Mendelssohn's s splendid musical interpretation will give new meaning to the old story which is one of great dramatic interest Though Mendelssohn was a German. the Elijah was rendered for the first time in Eng fish at Birmingham on August 5, 1916, It has been deservedly popular and the repertoire of no chorus is complete with. out it.
 Quite number of the Canaan chorus expect to attend the concert at Salisbury Friday evening. The original plan of supplementing each chorus from the other has been given up, except as it might be necessary to get substitutes for members who may be unable to sing. Mir. Paine regards each chorus as capa- ble of giving the work independently. MT. Stoeckel has taken seventy-five 1 tickets for each of the evening concerts and for these he generously over pays.
 The reason that the Canaan concert is held Saturday night is that this was the only time that the Boston Festival Or chestral club could be had for two suc- cessive nights, so popular is the organi- zation. ....

ELKS MAY BUILD CHURCH
For Pastor who Refused to Resign
 From the Order.

from tne OTO6Ts
 The Rev. Martin V. Jacobs, pastor of the Baptist church at Pine Plains, N. T., declined to allow the members of his church direct his personal affairs to the extent of saying that he should not retain his membership in the Elks, there fore he resigned the pastorate. MI. Jacobs is chaplain of the Poughkeepsie Lodge of Elks, which has $50 members.
 The Elks propose to stand by MT. Jacobs and there is plan on foot to erect an Elks' chapel or church in Poughkeepsie iu honor of MT. Jacobs The matter of working out the details is in the hands of Isaac P. Tlce of Poughkeepsie. The proposition is to ask all lodges of Elks in the United ment of g cents for each member, the sum realized to be used to build and en- dow the Poughkeepsie church. AS there are $50, ,000 Elks in the United States, the amount realized would be over $50. 900. Of this amount. $40,000 would be used for the erection of a building and an equal sum would be invested. the interest of which would be used for osxpenses and the payment of the salary of the pastor.
 MT. Jacobs preached his farewell sermon at Pine Plains last Sunday morning. The Poughkeepsie Lodge of Elks chartered special train and at tended the service.

THE HOUSATON|C
 VALLEY LEAGUE
SOME CHANGES IN ITS MAKEUP
MiIIerton Withdraws-East Canaan not to be lncluded-Sheffield in and Negotiations Pending With Other Teams.


 The new base ball organization has been named "The Honsatonio Valley League" It was christened at the meet ing held Saturday afternoon in the fire Lakeville was represented by W. W. Norton, Salisbury by L. 0. Flood, Shef field by Messrs. Fox and Hill, Lime Rock by H. O. Mover and Canaan by J. c. Roraback, Frank Blass, Frank Stanton and Harry NJ. Doty.
 As was anticipated, Millerton, de- cided not to enter the league inasmuch as the team has some games in prospect in the Harlem valley and, also, the rules adopted by the representatives of the other teams at previous meetings relative to restricting the players to local men and prohibiting the paying of players did not meet with their entire approba ton. Shortly after Millerton's "ulti- matum" was received, it was found that there was & possibility of the formation of a team in Sheffield and as above stated Sheffield sent two representives to the meeting who announced that the team would be pleased to enter, thus the sea son was to open Memorial Day with six teams, i. e., Lakeville, Salisbury, Canaan East Canaan, Sheffield and the com bination team composed of players in Lime Rock and Falls Village.
 Various matters pertaining to the league were discussed, the previous rules were considered and new ones formulated.
 Each team is willing to enter into an iron clad agreement to use only local amateurs and unless this agreement is vigorously adhered to. it will mean that the league will be dissolved before the completion of the twenty weeks.
 The arranging of schedule has proved much more of task than any one anticipated and for this reason a schedule committee was appointed, con- sisting of one director from each team, to meet Tuesday afternoon at "rhe Garfield" in Canaan and map out the games.
 At the meeting held Tuesday after noon at '.The Canfeld" the anounce- ment was made that the East Canaan team is not to be included in the league therefore one of the directors of the Ca naan team was authorized to communi- cate with another team. It was the gen eral opinion that the league should be organized, however, even though there be but five teams which would necessi- tate one team being idle each Saturday. Itisnot now likely that the games VI ill begin before June 9th.
