Feeding the Birus

Those who have regularly fed the birds are now enjoying large company of foathered friends, for the deep snow covers the weed patches and blankets the tree trunks, those natural feeding grounds of so many of our winter birds X little aid at this season will bring a. rich reward in garden time. If throuabs your friendliness during the rigors of winter, the chickadee can be coaxed tc. build in the old orchard, you will be suro, of helpful neighbors. The amount of in- sects one pair of these black capped birds will destroy during the nesting season is almost beyond computation. A lump, of suet tackled to @ door yard tree above the reach of the family cat will afford food for many days and keep warmth m many an atom of bird life, whicbs otherwise would fail to gladden. ths- springtime.
 There is nothing so enjoyable after G @ snow storm as the merry call 0i n chick. adee. or the Thank Thank !' of the hatch for the suet nail,d to the tree truIh.

CANAAN KEEPS UP
 WINNING STREAK
ALL GREAT BARRINGTONS DoWNED
In Very Fast and at Times Rather Rough Game Local Boys Take Wis ting Team Into Camp by a Score of 36 to 22-Hogan the Star.

Canaan 36; All Great Burlington, 9. This is the score, but it does not give a fair idea of the closeness of the game last Saturday night at the town hall which was played before the largest audience of the season. From the first sound of the whistle until the last ball was drop ped in the basket it was as pretty fight as has been seen on the local floor this season. The visitors are B fine lot of players, "Cy" Cooper particularly dis tinguishing himself by capturing five baskets for the visitors.
 The score at the end of the first half was 19 to 6 ill favor of Canaan, but ln the second half the visitors improved rapidly and the local boys had thei1 hands full in keeping the score down.
 In the last half of the game Wiggles' worth made wonderful throw, shoot ing the ball into the basket nearly the entire length of the hall. This perfor- nance elicited enthusiastic applause from the fans, and it was desc rved, as il was very accurate piece of play, ant one that will probably not be seen here for long time again.
 But Hogan was the star of the even ing. His skill in guarding, good f1ool work, and accurate shooting for the bas ket were a revelation in basketball. Ht made SIX floor goals, and got two out ot three fouls. All the other players dit good work, though Scott seemed to be g little off his regular game. This wa unusual, as he has played remarkabl. uniform game al! the season,
 Roraback refereed, and, as is alway' the case, his work was satisfactory t. all.
 The next game scheduled at homo vii be with Pittsfeld next Saturday night and, as this is very strong team, tn local boys have got their work cut ou for them.

NINETY YEARS OLD
Mrs. Hannah Maria OibeII of Chapin-

Mrs. Hannah Maria OibeII of Chapin- vile Celebrates Her Birthday.
 Mrs. Hannah Maria Dibell. who has resided for many years near Chapinville, on the Joyce homestead, the property of her father, John D. Joyce, during his life, and now owned by his great grand sons, celebrated her ninetieth birthday last Sunday, January 16.
 Mrs. Dibell was born on Mt. Washing ton in 1920, and lived there during the early part of her life. She is the oldest living native of Mt. Washington.
 Although of such an extreme age, Mrs. Dibells mind is clear. her eyes bright. her memory remarkable, and her interest ill passing events is alert and active. But her once vigorous constitu- tlonis broken by disease, and she has for several years been shut in from the society of friends, and from participation in active duties, in which it was her delight to engage. She is now minis tered to by loving friends and, relatives, whose pleasure it is to gratify her every wish.
 She was of the old New England type of woman. n.-resolute industrious, frugal, and possessed of rare executive ability. She was a devoted mother to her chil- dren, of whom a son and daughter are living. Her husband, Jeremiah Dibell, died in 1864.
 She is warmly attached to friends and relatives. aud her large-hearted kindli- ness has made her during her long life keen sympathizer in the sorrows and troubles of others, to whom she extended aid to the limit of her means and ability.
 Early in life Mrs. Dibell was converted to belief in spiritualism. and has been a consistent advocate of that faith ever since.
 As she is too feeble to receive many callers. Ter friends were glad to contrib, ute, by verbal and written messages, to the celebration of her nipetieth ami yersary.

A REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF MEMORY
 John Franklin was native of Canaan Litohfield County, Connecticut, An in- stance of his remarkable memory, when a lad, of seventeen, will show that he Was no ordinary boy. Having accom- panied the family to the place of wor- ship, the meeting house being enclosed, but neither ceiled nor plastered, the 10 cams and rafters were all exposed to view. John saw that his austere father sat through the sermon with great un- ,sasiness, but could not divine the cause On reaching home, "John," said his father. "it is my duty to give you a severe thrashing Common in old times) and you shall have it presently, so pre- pare yourself"
 '"Bnt you won't whip me. father, without telling me what forP"
 '"No certainly-yOur conduct at meet. ing, sir, is the cause. Instead of attend. ing to the sermon, you were all the while gaping about as if you were count ing the beams and rafters of the meet ing house."
 "Well, father, can you repeaS the sermon?"
 Sermon! No. I had as much as ] could do to watch your inattention'' "If I'll tell you all the minister said, you won't whip mel"
 "N0,. John, no; but that is impossible '
 Young Franklin immediately named the text, and taking up the discourse, went through every head of it with sur prising accuracy.
 "UpOn my word," said the delighted parent. "I should not have thought it.
 "And now father" said John, "I can tell you exactly how many beams and rafters there are in the meeting house. '' Miners History of Wyoming.

DEFECT OF PURE FOOD LAW.


 The national pure food and drugs act was emasculated by Congress of its most important provision i'll the eyes of many who have studied the subject. The pro vision that every package should have stamped on its face the exact weight, or other measurements of it's contents, was withdrawn in the face of violent opposi- ton by the manufacturers. In conse- quence IT. Reichmann finds enormous frauds are perpetrated on the unsuspect- ing purchaser. Whatever may have been the deceptions practiced before the pure food law went into effect they have grown tremendously, and to foster them all entirely new set of names for pack. ages and other containers has been put into effect by manufacturers.
 For instance, what used to be gal lon can" of tomatoes is now called a No 10," pr. Reiehmann finds. and act ually contains only three quarts, to say nothing of the fact that large part is water and not tomatoes. Similarly, the three-and two-pound cans of vege- tables, as they were formerly designated. are now known as "No 3" and No 2" cans, and weigh respectively Ia pounds and one pound apiece. The same was found to apply to the No 9" cans of meats, which formerly were sold as two pound cans, but now hold only 136 pounds, and the same cans of lard hold only 1 1a pounds.
 The deception in bottles is we'll known, quarts, now known as large bottles," holding only one-fifth of gallon. But iu the sale of olive oil Dr. Reichmann discovered that what was sold as quart was really only F ounces, or just one ounce more than full pint. The "pints" and ''half pints'' of olive oil had con- tents in proportion so that t.e half

ADVERTISING IN THE NEWS.


 The following letter, coming from one of Canaan's we'll known residents of the present day, proves that the News was as good an advertising medium when he was in business at Cornwall Bridge over thirty-eight years ago as it is to-day:
 Cornwall Bridge Mills, Sept. IS, 1871.
 MR. J. L. PEAsE-Please withdraw immediately nay advertisement for a miller, as have found him. notice in your paper the following: "Subscriber for the Connecticut Western News" I don't see the object of such an adver- tisement judging from the scores of applications have received in answer to my advertisem for a miller; as soon as they came in all said II saw your advertisement i'll the Conn. Vest ern News" and as consequence, I con- clude that everybody takes it, or else they borrow 1t to read. To those who borrow, advise them to subscribe and thus honestly pay for what they get, ,and especially would warn them against advertising unless they wish to find just what they want as I did, for they surely w5n ;getiit, if they do.

WHY II COSTS US
 50 MUCH ID LIVE
SHORT WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
Wholesale Frauds by Manufactures DiscIoseg by New York State Sup erintendent of Weights and Meas ures Cheating the Consumer.

uC lCPOAt Ol 4(ls IA1ND AeClShAhaAhf State Superintendent of Weights and Measures in New York State, contains amazing revelations of the ways ill which housewives and retail buyers in general are deceived by false weights and meas. ures, thus still further increasing the high cost of living. The report, which covers the work of the department from December 1, 190T to December 1, 1909, was presented to Coy. Hughes last week.
 In it Dr. Reichmann shows how the customer is robbed by dishonest dealers in the measurement of every article of everyday use, from kerosene oil to can ned tomatoes. The average shortage of weight or measurement found by Dr. Reichmann's assistants runs from to l5 per cent. with occasional eXcesses even beyond the last figure.
 BIG SwINDLING IN BUTTER.
 In the sale of butter the report dis closes a remarkable condition. The practice of selling "print butter" which has grown enormously of late, by which the butter is not weighed before the GUS toner, but handed out as a correct pound print, was the particular subject of in- vestigation, and it was immediately re- yealed how necessary and beneficial IS a stringent set of laws regulating the weight and measurement of every article sold. Massachusetts has such a system of laws, and Dr. Reichmann is convinced that similar legislation should be enacted for his state.
 Of 252 prints of butter tested at 30 factories in the state, 47 were intended | solely for the Massachusetts trade, and among them not only was the shortage very small-a fraction of 1 per cent out the bulk of the prints, 35 out of Al, weighed considerably in excess of the statutory pound, careful provision to ! tllow for the natural shrinkage between factory and consumer.
 Of the 205 prints examined which were intended for the New York market, however, l13 were found to be short in weight, with an average of per cent shortage and a maximum shortage of l;uly two ounces to the pound print These tests were made while the print vas dripping wet and fresh made, and ).tween that date and the time it would bach the consumer a further shortage vas bound to occar, due to shrinkage.
 The result of these tests was the con. giction that more than half the print oltter sold in New York state falls short # proper weight. With butter at 4S cents pound a shortage of even half ar ounce means a direct loss to the house wife of 11a cents. Two ounces short means cents overcharge on a pound, SC that Ascent butter is really selling fol 54 cents pound.
