EARNEST LABOR BRINGS SUCCESS
WILLIAM H. SPEAR,

Success is ever personal equation with quotient of one. It comes only with hard work and earnest endeavor, and abides only so long as it is safe guarded against possibility of loss.
 It may come to day and vanish tomor- row. Its continuation is dependent up- on oneself to 8 very large degree. None other can make of you what you are un- willing to make of yourself.
 A father may slave lifetime and &C., cumulate riches and hoard them until they compound interest upon interest, but give him fool of 8 son, whose sole ambition is to play the spend thrift, and the old proyerb comes true, "A fool and his money is soon parted"
 Every young man and every young woman should so aim to shape their life that out of it may grow the clements of abiding success. It is said that once in a life time fortune knocks at every door. You may think fortune has been long time seeking you out, but should it come your way to day or tomorrow are you prepared to entertain it?
 Suppose it comes when you are sulk- ing under the shade trees, grieving be- cause your lot is hard? Suppose it finds you out and passes you by and oppor- tunity is lost? Who is responsible ? Does it not then behoove you to do your best to measure up to the fulIness of your opportunities
 It is easy to watch another's good for tune and witness his or her success, and oftimes envy fills the heart and we can not understand why success should thus come blinded. But it is not blind. The very one you have envied has reached hard earned prominence only through earnest effort, and often when we knew 1t not, has been striving with might and main to reach some longed for goal. At last success has come, but it is the reward of honest merit. In stupid blindness some may call it luck, but be- hind it all, effort, we'll put forth and wisely directed has gained what it sought.
 No man who is unworthy can win success and have it long-abiding. It is the crown of perseverance; the germina- tion of industry; the reward of merit. It is the consumation of wishes long hoped for; of efforts rightly directed.
 It is the specialization of earnest toil; of energy that knows no defeat; mom- entous realization that marks lite's path way and measures it's bounds. We wei come it with joyous acclaim, ,and we rise or fall ill proportion to that measure of 1t we attain.

WHY NOT FIX IT.
Here's a Section of Highway That Needs
 Attention.

Attention.
 It is welI-known fact, that traffic follows lines of easy communication, and while stage line, and considerable business comes to Canaan from the town of New Marlboro, a visitor from that town declares that the section of road in Canaan, from Clayton. is in a horrible condition, and he suggests that the business men of this place ought to take the matter in hand, and have the road put in good condition. It would be money III their pockets to do so. There is gravel bed handy, and the road could be put in good condition at moderate cost. The town of Sheffield is engaged this week, in graveling it's part of the road, and New Marlboro has already put gravel on sandy section of the road, and now it is up to Canaan to go and do likewise like Sheffield Our informant says that Selectman George Brewer of Sheffield, deserves praise for his energy and intelligent prosecution of the work. alssSg5

CAT AT
 THE LAKES.
Nightly Screams of the An imal on Toms Hill Star
 ties the Timid Ones.

Cottagers and residents at the Twin Lakes have been startled for 2. several nights past by the wierd and blood curdling cries of some animal back on Toms hill, above the Lakes.
 Several who have heard the animals cries have pronounced it a wild cat. and they tell creepy stories about the noe- turnal ramblings of the animal, until some of the timid ones, especially among the fair sex, who have longsd to sleep out of doors in hammocks, are afraid to do so, lest this prowler of the nights disturb their slumbers.
 Is 1t a Young Fox7
 Others who have heard it, quiet the fears of the timid with the assurance that what they hear is only the barking of young fox, which makes a noiso at night sufficient to raise the hair on the head of those not familiar with its peculiar intonations.
 Several, who have had experience as hunters, declare that the cries are those of genuine wild cat, ,and say that 1t is not an unsual thing to hear on Toms hill, as not long wild cat was killed by hunter on that hill, and they believe this is the remaining one of the former pair, crying nights for its miss ing mate. Whichever belief is right the fact remains that the young women at the lakes are charry about remaining out after dusk without the protection of a husky escort to keep away the bugaboos.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The introduction of "the high cost of living" as political issue, while it may make good campaign talk, is likely to be dwarfed in its effects by the fact that the cost of high living is universal. In the far East, even, it has reached un- heard of conditions, and across the Atlantic old conservative England is having her troubles with the same problem. These facts, being true, the campaign orators will have to load up with new kind of ammunition for they will gain but few converts on the "cost of high living" dope. #
 Tough, isn't it, this having to pay ex- cess railroad rates when you go to see your best girl?
 Having qualified as an expert high flyer, Glenn H. Curtiss can now pose as an authority on the cost of high living.
 New York's "all night" banking pro- ject has been given up. The average New Yorker takes more interest at night spending his money than he does i'll banking it. The bank now closes at midnight.
 It's novel thing to see all the great nations of earth tumbling over each other for the privilege of loaning China $50, ,000, ,000; but think of the perquisites likely to go to the accepted creditor. That explains the situation i'll nut shell.
 The Great Harrington Courier, one of the brightest and breeziest newspapers published in all Berkshire County, Mass, 3omes to our desk this week in summer edition attire, bright with full and half tone pictures that are real gems of art In typographical neatness and the pro- nounced clearness of it's cut work, the Courier may we'll be congratulated. Rarely do the finest magazines show as high a class of art work as appears in the Courisr's 1910 Summer Edition of last week. Congratulations neighbors i; you deserve prosperity.
 Colonel Roosevelt is once more happy. He has stirred up the English hornet with his plainness of speech on the Egyptian question and the English newspapers have ceased to throw bouquets and are making faces at him and throwing mud. Great is our Teddy!
 It is evident that when President Taft selects his new secretary that gentleman will not be a Carpenter. What our esteemed president needs Is Builder,
 A Schneotady, N. Y, man has built a house without ohimneys, furnace or gas fixtures. Electricity is used In everything. All he needs now is to ill., stall tablet foods to make his life ideal.
 Our British cousins have started out an antarctic expedition and expect to reach the South Pole ln December 1911 and to be the first discoverers of that unknown land, unless Dr. Cook gets there first. The doctor, by the way, is again reported missing and he may pull up and transplant the South Pole before Captain Scott and Lieut. Evans of the British expedition can reach it.

PASSING OF DECORATION DAY

Apparently the die is cast and the in- tiative steps toward the abolition of Decoration day will soon be taken. Commander J. Willard Brown of the Massachusetts department of the Grand Army of the Republic, voiced the senti- ment of hundreds of Grand Army men in recent statement in which headvo- 'cated 8 resolution to be introduced at the next national encampment of the G. A. R, at Atlantic City, NJ, ,abolishing Decoration day and substituting Mem oriaI Sunday, to be annually designated by the Commander-in-c chief of the G. A. R.
 According to Commander Brown, such resolution will undoubtedly be presented. He would have, if it could be done, the present Decoration Day given over dur ing the morning hours entirely to ve1er- ation of the dead; then at noon, when the flag is sent to the peak, sports and other pastines might be properly taken up. Such day, he believes, would satisfy Grand Army men, and 1t has been suggested that law passed to that effect might bring about the result.
 For some years past the real signif- canoe of Memorial Day has been over looked or deliberately set aside. The day has largely been given over to sports and pastimes; notably to baseball, to the deep regret of the veterans to whom the day is one of sacred memories. There has, however, entered upon the stage of action younger generation, much of 1t foreign, to whom Memorial Day makes no special appeal. To such it is merely holiday, to be celebrated as such, with scarcely a thought of it's origin, or what it's name,implies. It simply affords an opportunity for social or athletic enjoy ment and as such, by the majority in our cities and towns, it is looked for ward to today. It has become mis. homer and lost it's traditional significance and that is why so many c. A. R. men advocate change.

And now St. Louis comes to the front with an offer of $30,OO0, with time limit, to any man who will fly through ahe air to Missouri. Great Scott its worth the money to any man compelled to cross the line into Missouri, let alone a time limit, and if he has to drink Missouri river water the price is far too small. Now had it been Kentucky there might have been stronger incentive.

The Rubber Plant In 1735.

The first accurate information re garding the wonderful rubber plant was furnished by La Condamine, a French scientist who was sent in 1735 by the government of France to meas ure an arc of the meridian near Quito. This brought him to the heart of the rubber growing country, and much valuable information was thus ob- tained.

TROLLEY BILL PASSES.
May Result in Canaan Having Trolley
 Outlet to the North.

The passage of the trolley bill by the Massachusetts legislature may result in the extension of the trolley service to Sheffield and thence to Canaan. The matter has long been fought and now that the N. Y. N. H. & H. R. R. Go. has won out, it is believed the trolley branch of that corporation will speedily get busy on the extension so faYorably considered some time ago.
