POW SR FROM PEAT
Will Become an Important Auxiliary
 Fuel as Goal Supply Fails

Will Become an Important Auxiliary
 Fuel as Goal Supply Fails
 A number of cities and towns in the United States may obtain their light, heat and power direct from peat bogs in the near future. The statement is made by federal experts that millions of dollars worth of fuel lies undeveloped in the swamps and bogs of the country, await ing only the genius and business ability of the American before it drives the wheels of progress. Its value, on hasis of $3 a ton. roughly guessed at by ex- perts of the geological survey, who have been studying the peat deposits for some time, is more than thirty eight billion dollars-more money than is represen ted in all the property, stock, implements and buildings owned by the farmers of the United States
 With the coal supply being used at a tremendous rate, peat is expected to become more important auxiliary fuel and one that will prolong the life of the coal itself. An important fact which leads the experts to believe that peat will soon come into quite general use in certain parts of the country is that it is as a rule found in quantities in regions far removed from the coal fields, SO far that the cost of transporting the coal amounts to several times the cost of the fnel itself at the mines.
 The states containing the greatest amount of peat are the eastern Dakotas. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, North ern Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York, the New England States, New Jersey, portions of Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.

LIME KILN BUILT
 ON A NEW PLAN
WILL BE A NOVEL EXPERIMENT
Test Kiln Being Erected by Massa- chusetts Lime Company is a Com pIete Departure from all Precedents -Is Being Watched With Interest.

Many from here have taken occasion lately to visit She plant of the Massa- chusetts Lime Company on the old Wickwire farm between Ashley Falls and Sheffield, which is now in process of construction. Interest ccnters in the fact that the construction of the kiln is unique and complete departure from anything that has been attempted in these parts.
 At present only one kiln is being built in order to test the value of the concrete construction, This one is now almost complete the construction having reached point over the drum. The kiln rests on foundation of solid concrete while the construction includes lining of fire brick surrounded by solid cement work, cylindrical ill shape, reinforced by steel rods running both laterally and perpen- dicularly. That portion of the kiln wall which is adjacent to the fire bed is from six to seven feet i'll thickness.
 Plans for the kiln were made and the work is being carried on under the direction of Albert NJ. Turner of this place. While the company permits visitors to inspect the work as it pro- gresses they do not wish to give out the details of construction as it IS believed that if the concrete kiln proves its this new method of construction will supplant the old as being more economi- cal and more seryiceable.
 The construction of hme l1ilns ill such a manner that they will withstand the high temperature of the fire has been great problem from the beginning of the lime industry and many experiments have been made in the attempt to solve 1t i'll the most advantageous manner.
 The first kilns were of lime stone blocks built with very thick walls and square in shape. Various methods of construction have since been tried i'll. cluding the use of lime stone construc- tion in cylindrical form bound about with steel bands. The latter bands, however, were easily snapped when the furnace heat began to exert its expan- sive force. These did not prove the success that was hoped for and today the majority of the kilRs are of solid steel construction.
 The Wickwire farm on which the new quarries are situated had about 5000 cords of wood standing. Of this one thousand have already been cut and are ready for use. Last week Grove Dun ham deeded to the Massachusetts Lime company for s11OO two paroles of land in Sheffield.
 It is expected that the kiln will be completed in few weeks and the com pany intends to try it out this summer. Already the building to serve as a storage house is being built and the aim is to have everything ready for a start as soon as possible.

THE PENNANT BY ANY MEANS
Questionable Diplomacy Said to be
 Employed by League Team.

A story has leaked ont and has been going the rounds for the past couple of days to the effect that one of the teams that met Canaan last week was so over come with such fear of further weakein- ing their already badly shattered chances for the pennant that, previous to the game, they sent a couple of scouts over to East Canaan, offered to arrange a game for that team on the day in ques- ton, to furnish a catcher, pay expenses and give bonus to boot, if the East Canaan players eligible to play on the Canaan team would announce to the latter previous engagement. The East Canaan game was not arranged but the rival team succeeded ill keeping two of the East Canaan twirlers from elistinK with Canaan for the game.

CANAAN, CONN. THURSDAY JULY l. 1909
FROM A SUFFRAGETTE
Take Every Place That Belongs to You" Her Advice to Young Ladies.
 Winsted, Conn.

WlnSteus conn, Editor NEWS;
 At late graduation of class of young ladies Professor Gibson took the time and opportunity to tell them never to meddle with politics" as by so doing they would lose the place that was de- signed for them to fill.
 In reply we wish to repeat the words of another, "In the administration of a State neither a woman as woman, or a man as a man, has any special func- tion, but the gifts are equally different in both cases"
 The Bible says that when God made woman he made her for a helpmate for man. This good book does not tell any paticular place that she shall be n help. mate, but one would suppose that all places that man IS called to fill woman should be also interested in.
 If the ballot is of any service to man then let woman also have its help and protection. Professor Gibson says that the men protect the women and asks, 'Is not that enough" No, we say, we are born citizens and it belongs to us to say with the ballot how we shall be taxed. We want a hand in saying whether we shall have the dram shop set up in our town, in a word, we must represent ourselves or we shall never be represented. If the place IS impure or the ballot is not fit for woman to handle then let her enter and help purify it. Did woman ever enter anywhere that she did not elevate the place and add help and strength also? Woman goes with husband, lover and son everywhere but to the polls.
 We would say to young ladies as well as to all others, Take every place that belongs to you to fill and do not be crowded out. The ballot is a born right to every citizen of our republic and we should have it." M. A. G.
