 The condition of Main street at the Center is the cause of considerable unfavorable comment. The piles of dirt and refuse on the street have caused pools of standing water which have been not only an eyesore but a serious obstacle to pedestrians. It is up to the town authorities to see that the street is kept in a condition to allow the water from the recent heavy rains to reach the sewers.

FAIRFIELD'S AUTO CHEMICAL PUTS OUT FIRE First Run of Towns New Auto Apparatus Demonstrates
 its Worth Makes Quick Trip of Mile and Half and Checks Blaze at
 Mill Plain House
Especial to The Farmer.)

N
 Fairfield, Oct. 24-Fairf1eld's new au- to chemical received it's first run this morning and demonstrated Its worth by quickly extinguishing a lively fire on the roof and second story of John Ostroski's home at. Mill Plain, adjoin- ing the Kennel Food Supply company s plant.
 The auto-chemical apparatus, with William McGarry at the wheel and about eight members of the volunteer fire department aboard it, made the run in record time, in response to a telephone call The house is about a mile and a half from the scene of the blaze, and without the speedy arrival of the auto chemical the flames would probably have gained great headway and consumed the house
 A spark from defective chimney is believed to have started the blaze. which occurred shortly after a. m. When the f1remen arrived, a merry little fire was in progress but the chemical quickly put itIout of busi- ness.
 The house is owned by Frank Per ry and is insured. MT. Perry could not estimate the damage this morning. but it will amount to only few dol- lars. r

COMMENTS ONi TRANSFERS
 OF CHILDREN IN SCHOOL
Belief That Geographical Lines Only Should Govern the Descriptions of
 the School to Be Attended.

The preference for the center school by parents who have children of the school going age has been the subject of much comment in the town. Pu- pills have been transferred from the center school to others on different occasions. These changes have been the cause of complaint at the time they were made but results have al tered the opinions of the parents in many instances The complaining parents have found that their off spring have received as much atten- ton and have advanced as rapidly in other schools as at the center. 1t has been suggested, and with good reason, that only geographical lines be considered in this matter and that children in certain sections should be sent to certain schools and that no favoritism should be shown. Such a rule would make the work of the school board easier and would remove any cause for complaint.
 CHURCH TRUSTEES RE- ELECTED
 At the annual meeting of the mem bers of the Methodist Episcopal night, George w. Fairchilds, A. E. Merrill and Irving LobdeH were unani- mously reelected trustees of the church for the. term of three years. George Meachen was chairman of the meeting, and Charles Rogers clerk. The meeting was short and exceeding ly harmonious.
 The reelected trustees have been entirely satisfactory during their terms, and the remarkable prosperity of the church is largely due to the harmonious action of the board of which they are members. The church looks forward to another period of activity under the leadership of the pastor Rev. E. c. Carpenter

L.bradors Short Summer.

How brief is the summer on the highlands of Labrador! says Hesketh Prichard in the Wide World Snow does not melt till July, then with a rush midsummer comes. Grasses and leaves grow almost visibly, the wild cotton soon filings out it's little white pennons, millions of berries ripen on the ground, the loon cries, the. ptarmi- gan calls, and you may even see a butterfly balancing in the warm wind But then also wakens the counos--- army of hunchbacks, lean and grz~ mosquitoes, piping blithely for sblcs'- So summer reigns. Then suddenly one day at the end of August. after the sun has sunk behind the barren crags through a balmy warmth of evening. one may wake up to find everything transfgured and the first snow of aD- other season already falling.

 Fearing that there might be other claims, Sorenson had Sheriff Finnegan attach the silver cups which Lewis had left in the hotel.

renaissance. One of the most inspir- ing lessons taught by this recurrence to the meeting of four generations past is found in this expression of vii tai christianity at the very time when some foolish visionaries prophesied the passing of our religion. The ra- diance, the glory of faith filled the hearts and minds of these brave preachers even when opposition was most rampant and aggressive. The country was saved from moral disas- ter and spiritual wreck largely by the spirit, character, activity of the strong, wise men unswerving in loyalty to Christ, freshly inflaming their fel- lows with the faith of the fathers to bring about revival of spiritual life and practical religion extending far and wide through the land.

FORESTERS CHANGE.

Toronto, Ont, May 1.-The most
important convention that has met in
this city in long time was opened to-
day by the supreme court of the indie
pendent Order of Foresters. There
are several hundred delegates present
representing all parts of the United
States and Canada. Great Britain, Aus
tralia and Denmark.
Probably the most important mat
ter to be discussed and acted upon
during the three days session is the
proposed change in the form of gov
eminent of the order. 1t is proposed
to place the entire direction of the at
fairs of the order in the hands of the
supreme court which meets every four
years. The proposal is to dispense
with the high courts and devote the
money saved to charitable objects
within the order.

MUST GO TO PRISON
Huntington Convicted on a
Petit Larceny Charge.

Sentenced to the penitentiarS for
stealing articles of the appraised value
of twenty-five cents was the fate Of
Earl Huntington, who on Monday af-
ternoon was found guilty on the first
ballot by a jury in the Wayne circuit
court and on Tuesday morning SEN
fenced by Judge Fox to serve from one
to fourteen years in Michigan City
prison He was also fined $40 and
costs and disfranchised for two years
from holding any office Of public
trust.
The gravity of the charge was not
in the offense itself but that Hunting
ton has been arrested SO often in the
past ten years or such a matter that
it is estimated he has spent more
than two-thirds of his time in custody
of the proprietors of the county hos
telry on South Second street. He will
be confined in the lail few more
days and then be taken to Michigan
City by deputy sheriff Clarence Mote,
for whom Huntington bears grudge,
and who. Huntington has openly de.
clared, will never get him behind
prison bars.
1t was on request of the deputy that
Sheriff Steen named him to make the
trip. Deputy Mote, while small. mas
sufficient nerve and is determined that
Huntington will go with him without
causing any trouble. AS precau
tionary measure the deputy will have
Huntington handcuffed and there wiz
be little opportunity, unless he breaks
the nickle-plated bracelets for him to
make his getaway.

the Rev. Frank Dewitt Talmage. pas
tor of the Chambers-Wylie church,
stigmatized the ordinary summer re-
resort as the root of all divorce and
warned husbands and wives against
frequenting them. He Said:
Beware of family separations,
which take away for any length OF
time wives from husbands, husbands
from wives, brothers from sisters. and
parents from children. Where DO you
say you are going this summer?
"'Well you answer, I do not know.

boys could be with me only a little
while II did 60 there
Mother, wife, would not go far
away from home II were you. II your
husband and boys and brothers have
to work during the summer to earn
you a livelihood 1t is not good to be
separated from them. It is not good
for you. 1t is not good for the hus-
bands and the boys.
mark this. my friends, and what
say I speak calmly and deliberately.
Nine-tenths OF all the evil temptations
of our summer resorts are directly due
to separations of families. These sep.
arations lay temptations. awful temp

compelled to stay at home and work
They lay temptations, awful tempta.
