CITY COUNCIL MEETS

The city dads got down to business
last Monday night, and there was no
let-up until nearly midnight.
The bond Of the w. K. Palmer Co.
of $1,000 for the satisfactory construct
ion Of the sewer system, was read, but
owing to several Irregularities it was
ordered sent back to the engineering
company, with the councils recon-
mendatlons as to some OF the finer
points embodied therein.
The tax levy for the ensuing year
was rs mills-15 for interest on water
bonds and 10 for general purposes.
Messrs. John Schlager and Ed
. Haberstroh were present and re-
quested the solons to allow them to
withdraw from the bond of Marshal
Elisha House, and it was so ordered.
Mr.. House will now get new sureties.
Town Clerk Vidal was ordered to
advertise for bids for the construction
Of the two sewer districts, as all the
preliminary details up to this point
have been complied with.
Then came the surprise Of the eve
ming. The council was anxious to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
Of W. c. Simpson. and taking advant-
age of the presence Of Messrs. Schla-
ger and Haberstroh, nominated both
Of them. Mr.. SchIager withdrew on ac-
count OF business matters, so Mr., Ed
Haberstroh was then balloted for and
received the unanimous vote Of the
board, peace and harmony prevailing.

Saloons or New Residences.

The facts here given from the Springfield Republican concerning West Springfield have a bearing on the local situation. It is the same story everywhere: lies by the liquor traffic nailed by facts of police records. Note that undesirable citizens argument, too:
 The license forces are using every argument known to try to swing the town to the open saloon. The argu- ment that the amount of liquor brought into the town and sold is as large as last year is untrue, and this statement is backed up by the report of the police department. These same pc ople who are so quick to point to the fact that places are still in oper- ation where illegal liquor selling is conducted would be the last to come before the board of selectmen with evidence that would lead to a convic- tion of the parties concerned. The worst feature of the licensing of the sale of liquor is the quickness with which gambling and other attendant infractions of the law crop out. The influx of the well-known undesirable class of citizens into a town surely cannot be a factor in elevating the moral and social standard of the oom- munity, and it is certainly better to perpetuate a system whereby the town ] is made an unprofitable field for such people.
 Men who are keeping in close touch with the sentiment of the town claim that 8 majority see that conditions during the past year are better in all departments. Another point which the people are taking into consider ation Is the number of Springfield people who are buying building lots and erecting homes in the town. It l is not usual for town which is fast becoming 8 residential section to drive prospective residents away by sticking saloons within sight of their homes. Men with families are look ing for homes in towns where are no saloons. It would seem as if it would be 8 much better policy for the town to encourage such people to take up their residence than that other class of people which comes without en- oouragement when the saloon is open.

AND FREE ADS.
 From Rockville Leader)

Some of the Vermont papers have been holding a symposium op the question of free advertising. The consensus of opinion appears to be that it isn't newspapers business to devote it's space to the free adver- tising of occasions which are arranged purely and solely for making money. Quite right, and yet there are hun dreds of people, especially in the smaller towns, who really take offense if they can't get free advertisements ts on the ground that they have news value. The argument is a ridiculou one. A newspaper makes it's living by selling it's advertising space, the same as 8 merchant lives by selling his goods. How many persons are there who would go into merchant s store and ask the merchant to hand them out some merchandise free? Not many. There are scores of people who "touch" the country newspaper proprietor every day for his most valu. dOAO COAAuOuAby duN01blSIuS~ B p6C0s Because the country newspaper pro- prietors have been too easy, the evil

 There have been persistent rumors lthat the interurban service between Stafford and Rockville to Hartford is to be discontinued, but no official announcement to that effect has been made. The placing of several new switches on the regular electric line lends some credence to the reports. It is thought that when the changes are made the run from Rockville to Hartford will be made in an hour and 8 quarter. Allowing the same time that is consumed between Stafford and Rockville at present, it will make the run to Hartford two hours It is thought that the time between here and Rockville could be shortened some without interfering with the safety of the service. Local patrons of the road would not welcome such a change as is outlined.
 Grace Church Notes: The services were resumed upstairs last Sunday, and the general sentiment seems to be that of great satisfaction and pleasure in the recent renovation. A good deal remains yet to be done, which will follow, as weather and circumstances permit, so that the work will be practically oomphee within a few months. Rev. Wm. J. Brewster of Warehouse Point preached at the service last Friday evening, and Rev. Robert Keating Smith, rector of the Church of the Atone ment. at Westfield.

The aphis is in one way the most startling of all forms of insect life, for. although the females can and dc lay eggs, it's usual method of increase is by a sort of budding process, the young growing on the bodies of the parent exactly as brussels sprouts grow out of the stalks of the plant The old produce young at the rate of twenty-five day. and as the young are at once mature each can produce it's twenty-five on the following day It positively frightens one to work this multiplication out to a conclu. sion. for it means this: Supposing that the aphide could increase and multiply without interference, the twenty-fifth generation would be number too long to quote here.

VAIN HUNT FOR
MISSING CHILDREN
Little Boy and Girl Strangely
Disappear.

Latrobe, Pa, May 2. = Posses OF
neighbors who have been searching for
Emma and Alvin Blaugh, seven and
five years old, who disappeared mys
teriously Friday afternoon from the
home of their parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Michael J. Blaugh. have about given
up hope of finding them. The little
ones were playing in the barn yard
in full view of their own and neigh
boring homes and disappeared within
a minute after they had been seen at
play.
A circus exhibited here that day
and the circus trains were searched
the woods were secured for miles ane
a creek which flows near the Blaugh
home was dragged. Hundreds OF
searching parties are looking for the
children, but not a clue has been dis
covered. The theories advanced as tC
their fate include kidnapping. drown
ing, being lost in the woods and fall
ing into some of the numerous hole:
caused by cave-ins in abandoned Goa
mines.
