FITZPATRICK GREAT
ALL AROUND ATHLETE
Yale Star Has Had a Brilliant
Career Over Hurdles and
on Gridiron.

Probably football has never seen the
equal of John Fitzpatrick Of Yale as au
all.around athlete. and it can trutbfully
be said there never existed an athlete
who has cqualcd "kil's" reputation
on the aridiron. He made his mark on
the athletic field before he won fame
at football
"KilH has an assortment of broken
bones and twisted muscles that has no
equal In all athlcticdom, His legs have
been twisted and turned time and aga in.

llis RIBS have been STAYED in several
times and only a couple of days ago il
was reported that he had received So
rious injuries to his framework. The
report was somewhat exaggerated. for.

bruised and he held down his end at
Princeton when the bulldog tackled the
New Jersey tiger.

"kil'' started ms hurdlcr al Auilo-
Yer prep school. and he could 70 over
the high obstacles in 10 I.J seconds
mighty fast time. Fitzpatrick could jump
some in those days-before football

good for % feet in the running broad
jump, John could put the l6,pound
shot about d3 feet. TOO He was the
best all-uround athlete that Andover
ever possessed.

ball on the freshman team. and they
discovered that hc was wonder. That
was. Just four years ago, He could
perform so well on the athletic field
that they made him captain of the
freshman athletic team. and for the
first time GaIe>s freshmen outpointed
the Youngsters from Princeton.
II really is IN unusual thing for good
athletes TO become good football play
ers. and there 5 a fine reason. All ath-
lctes feel that they must avoid taking
any chances. aud they keep away from
hazardous football. Fitzpatrick has al

cANAAN'S HIGH SCHOOL

Prof. Herbert E. Gregory, one of the state examiners of High schools, has made h1s report on the Canaan school to the State Board of Education and has sent copy to the town School board. The important portions of the report are reprinted in this issue.
 The examiner thinks that the school is trying to do too much with it's limited faculty and suggests a change from a three to two years course, if the town does not feel able to employ more in structors. For this two years course he enumerates list of studies.
 The recommendation MT. Gregory makes are the important part of his re- port. He believes, on account of it's favorable location. the town should de- velop good high school with four years course, that would have particular reference to the needs of the commun- ity and at the same time would prepare the pupil for admission into the higher institutions.
 There is no question but that we would all like the honor of such an in stitution in Canaan. If we have it, though, it will necessitate considerable enlargement of the present building (which, he says, is already oYerorowded in the high school part) or the erection of new edifice. The proposition to do either one of these would probably raise a storm of protest, as an expense of sev- eral thousand dollars was incurred only 8 couple of years ago for enlarging the school now in use.
 There is the other side of the question, though. While to make either of the above changes would cost money, would it not ultimately be a paying invest ment? At the present time there are number of pupils from out of town at tending the high school, and paying for tuition. If we had room for them, and an advanced course, would not many more take advantage of the opportunities offered, and thus not only help to pay for the expense incurred but add to the prestige of Canaan, by giving it the re- pution of an educational center?
 We would urge to all taxpayers and those who wish to give their children the best education possible, to read MT. Gregory's report carefully, and see if it would not be good policy and good business to follow his suggestions.

THE G. A. R. REUNION

Of the Interstate Veterans Association
 at Canaan. Tuesday, February 22.
 Washington's birthday was celebrated in Canaan in a most patriotic manner, by the reunion of the Interstate Veterans Association. the membership of which is confined to SIX towns-Millerton, N. Y, Great Burlington and Sheffield, Mass, Canaan, Sharon and Winsted, One hundred veterans, many of whom were accompanied by their wives, at tended
 The business session was held in the town hall at 10 o'clock. Rev. k. c. Gll- lette welcomed the veterans and Thomas L. Norton, of Lakeville, responded for the association. E. s. Roberts, of East Canaan, was elected president of the day and MT. Norton acting secretary, Peter Turner, of Great Burlington. secretary of the association, being confined to his home by illness. A resolution was adopted expressing sympathy for MT. Turner.
 Dinner was served by the ladies in the Pilgrim church parlors, and was not an ordinary lunch but a sumptuous repast.
 The afternoon exercises began at o'clock. Rev. H. Cornford offerc prayer, which was followed by a flag drill. About forty children, who had been in training for some time under the efficient instruction of Mrs. L. A Caldwell and her daughter, Miss Minnie, took part in this drill, and it was one of the most pleasing features of the occa- sion. There was also singing by the school children.
 Addresses, reminiscent in character and replete with civil war incidents, were given by Chaplain William F. Hilton, of Hartford, State Comptroller Thomas D. Bradstreet, of Thomaston, F. G. Saxa, of Waterbury, D. 0. Kilbourn, of East Litchfield, and Junior Vice Com mander William H. Dougal, of New Preston. Thomas l.. Norton, of Lake vile, John F. Simmons, of WInsted and others made interesting remarks.
 The Canaan orchestra furnished the music.

THE BORDEN LETTER

The official statement of the president of the Borden company, explaining it's position on the milk question, which will be found on the first page of this issue of THE NEWS, will be read with interest by all, dairymen and milk pro- ducers in this section, and more particu. larly by those who sell their product to the Borden company.
 MT. Rogers article deals largely with the increased cost ill the production of milk by reason of the high prices of feed of all kinds. He shows the tremendous advance in the cost of these necessities in twenty years, and declares that the company is going to help the farmer ill this matter by aiding him in getting pure alfalfa seed and instructing him in the growing of alfalfa and root crops; also by assisting him in securing COWS of greater productive capacity, and thus enable him to diminish his feed bills and increase his profits. Nothing that we can find in the letter gives the least inti- mation that the farmer is charging more for milk than he ought to receive, con sidering the cost to him of production.
 The farmer would, undoubtedly, be glad to cooperate with the company in any plan that would tend to increase hls profits, but may not agree with it as to

 "Dick" Carley in Trouble.
 Charles Carley, of Chapinville. better known as "Dick" Carley, boarded Con- ductor Hinman's train on the c. N. k. road at Millerton, Tuesday afternoon, and refused to pay his fare. He was in toxicated and looking for trouble, and when the attempt was made at Salisbury to put him off the train ho refused to go and fought his way back into the car, indulging Ill indecent and abusive lam guage to trainmen. so the conductor telegraphed ahead for an officer at Ga naan to meet the train at the station. Carley attempted to leave the train at Chapinville and at the coal bins i'll Ca naan but was prevented from doing so. Constable Rhoades arrested him and lodged him in the lock up until the next morning when he was brought before Justice Ford on charges of breach of the peace, abusive language, assault and intoxication. He was found guilty, fined $500 on each count, which with costs amounted to S36.93. Being unable to raise the amount, Constable Rhoades took his prisoner to Litchfield jail yes terday.

A CATS TALE.

Now, in my mistress lap I lay, A happy ball of purr, When Tn there came naughty dame I loathed the look of her. She stood and said, "I hate all cats" (Those were her very words). "I'd rather live with mice and rats Than lose our singing birds" "All cats are cruel to the core. They do not need to be By hunger stirred to kill bird; They do it wantonly. I really can't endure cat"
 Just then made spring And landed on that lady's hat
 And seized flaming wing. I tore the stuffed bird from her head (You should have heard her roar). l growled and spit and clawed and bit And strewed it on the floor. My mistress cried, "Oh, what shamel But winked one eye at me, And said unto the angry dame, You do love birds, see."

methods. Thus, the company's idea so to improve the stock by better breeding as to increase the production per COW from 5000 quarts of milk per year to 4,000 quarts would. on the face of 1t, show a net gain to the farmer of 1000 quarts per COW. But if this increased production means lower price to him for the milk. 1t might be loss instead of gain. la other words, 4,0O0 quarts of milk at 214 cents per quart would bring exactly the same amount of money as 5000 quarts nt cents, but would ne- cessitate the handling of one-third more milk, and would therefore show loss. The only way to prevent deficit in such a case would be by the economies ot cheaper feeding.
 The other parts of the letter are in the nature of an explanation to the con- sumer showing the necessity the con- pany is under to charge the price it does for retailing in the city. According to the company's statement it costs nearly the n1n6 CeuCS per QuaIG GudG AC ChoA S0S to place the milk on the customers door step. Mr. Rogers testified last Thurs day in New York, before the committee investigating the milk question there, that the reason of the raise of one cent per quart by his company on November 1, 19O9 vas that it's books showed that the receipts for bottle of milk in Octo- Der were one-fifth of cent less than it cost.
 The whole argument of the letter would seem to show that the company is between the upper and the neither millstones. It wants to sell cheaper be- cause it wa ts customers. To do this it knows it must buy cheaper, and it knows it cannot buy cheaper so long as it costs the farmer so much to produce the milk.
 We would like to hear from the other side-from some milk producer who has studied the subject, and who can ad- vance some feasible plan whereby these conflicting elements may be brought to- gether and all receive just and equitable compensation.
