MEADOW BROOK FOUR FAST
Defeats Cooperstown in Furious
Polo Match.

Free hitting with the mallets combined
with furious ride-offs in the dashes for
the goals made for lively polo in the
match in which the first team of Meadow
Brook defeated the Cooperstown four
Yesterday by the net score Of 1912 goals
to 6l2 on the international field at West
bury, Long Island. The match was the
semi-fna for the Westpury challenge cup,
a trophy offered without handicap.
Foxhal F. Keene and Monte Waterbury
and his brother Larry had leg up on the
Meadow Brook side. This trio was filed
out by ]. A. Rawlins, who proved an able
No. /. The Cooperstown players almost
ran the legs off their ponies in the first
* Rod. They gave the Meadow Brook men
PLENTY of riding. and their first burst oil
speed was such that c. c.. Rumsey, at No.
.. and F. s. Won Stade. who played his
old position of back, scored goals, while
the Meadow Brooks were BANKED.
Won Stade shot a pretty goal from mid
field inside of twenty seconds at the begin
ming Of the second period. That put the
Meadow Brook players on their mettle, so
that Foxhall Keene followed two minutes
after on a sideboard play from Larry Wat
erbury. At that Monte Waterbury turned his
hand TO goal making with the result that
he tailed three goals inside Of five minutes
Captain F. w. Barrett, Of the English chal-
longing team. witnessed this performance
as he had returned from his mission to
Mexico. He declared that Monte Water
bliry's riding and hitting on the gaIop
SUI passed anything in the international cup
matches.
Larry Waterbury. who filled Devereux
Milburns position at back, worked SPLEEN
didly. He saved many goals. especially on
the carries by Malcolm Stevenson, who rode
Ceringly and hit well. but failed 10 tally

A QUESTION OF FRUIT

In communication to The News couple of weeks ago Sister Parsons, of Winsted, reYerting to circumstance that happened some time ago, made the point that the bible does not say Eve tempted Adam with an apple. "It might have been a peach or fig," says Sister Parsons.
 While 1t is not apparent at this time that it makes any particular difference whether it was a fig, a grapefruit, a water melon or whatsoever kind of vegetable Eve gave him, it may be we'll enough to have the matter cleared up, and if Sister Parsons has any pet theory calculated to throw light on the subject, The News will be glad to give space to it. In view of the opinion of Prof. Smith. which Sister Parsons quotes, that it could not have been all apple because apples could not grow in

 The general assembly on several occs- sions has indulged in heavy efforts to be humorous, with rather sad result. The members do not appear to very good ad- vantage.when masquerading as jokers. But some of the bills they consider are really amusing because of their absurdity. One such bill is that which seeks to make it illegal for newspapers to publish information concerning criminals or per sons suspected of crime and a lot of that sort of restrictive rubbish. The ultimate destination of that bill is the waste bas- ket. It does not attain the altitude of 8 joke. It is sorry yfreak.-Brlstol Press

Letters From the People
Not First-CIass Funerals

Editor News: Will the trolley compa- nv have to fight against tho ''conserva- tives" for all opportunity to benefit this town, just as every other project for pro- gress and public improvement has had to do? * We often hear it said that Canaan needs a number of first class funerals before it can ever get ahead"
 Canaan, March 25. 'X."
 The News takes the liberty of elimi- mating portion of the letter contributed by tX"-a portion the publication of which would be likely to lead to contro- versy that could serve no useful purpose and which, while it might prove read able, would not in any sense or measure contribute to that harmony and unity of effort that must be relied upon to pro- duce results beneficial to the communi' ty. The News takes no stock in any theory that genuine community prog ress can be advanced by any number of first class funerals" It believes first class funerals are about the least desir- able element in the life of any commu- nifty. It respects conservatism as bal ance-wheel, or. compass, though it de- plores the mis- called conservatism that is always and unalterably obstructive. It believes in the principle, not of anni- hiIating opposition, but of getting to- gether," and it believes more can be &C., complished for the public good by the getting together of conservatives and progressives for conference, comparison of views. and even wrangIing over live issues, than by getting together at first class funerals" It isn't funerals we need it the spirit of tolerance, con- cession and harmony-it's the spirit of Get Together.

 The return of spring to gladden. and adorn the earth reminds us that we can become fellow workers with God in aiding the forces of nature to bring beauty aud freshness into human life.
 1, therefore, pursuant to the statutes of this state, hereby designate Tues day the 11th day of April. next, aa Arbor and Bird Day.
 And I reccomend that all, who can, use the opportunity to plant trees suit able for shade and ornament around their homes or in the public roads, that in our schools the teachers on that day read aloud this proclamation. and impress upon the minds of those sub ject to their care the loveliness of grass and shaded avenues; the solici- tude with which our laws seek to guard the perpetuation of the song bird; and the many ways in which children eau do any important part in preventing in- juries to birds or trees, and so giving their state a great charm, and making it more dear to all it's people.

ALIVE ORGANIZATION

A number of members ot the Canaan Business Mems Association attended the fifth annual banquet of the Winsted Business Mems Association, Friday evening, and returned home enthusiastic in their reports of Winsted hospitality and Winsted's s whole e-souled way of do- ing the handsome. The affair scored the high degree of success that inevita- bly, attends public function in which the patriotic citizens of that good old town get together and collaborate for it.
 Evidently the Wlnsted B. M. A. is in a healthy condition and it's members are actuated by the proper spirit. Under such conditions it is bound to accomplish the important things it has mapped out for Winsted, fir ,m sewer to ''kiekless citizens," and the atmosphere of har- mony and earnestDess that characterized Friday nights festive function should have been an inspiration to the Canaan delegation and as 8 consequence, should transmit benefits to the Canaan Associa- tion.
 There are things to be done here at home, and with the example of Winsted as an object lesson in determination and purpose, the work here should come all the more easily and promptly to accom- plishment.
 The Winsted organization is not con- tent to simply get together once a year for 8 square meal, and lie dormant un- til the next meal is ready. The Canaan organization will do we'll to follow itf neighbor's admirable example.

A Cold Summer

A record of A Year Without Sum- mer," originally printed forty or fifty years ago, is as interesting now as then It is as follows:
 In the year of 1916 there was a sharp frost in every month of the year in the northern states. It was known as the year without summer, The farmers used to refer to it as eighteen hundred and starve to death. In May ice formed half an inch thick in Hartford, buds and flowers were frozeu, and corn was killed in the adjacent towns. Frost, ice and snow were common in June throughout Connecticut, and the snow fell five inches deep in New York, and in Massachusetts ten inches deep on July 19. July was accompanied with frost and ice On the 9th ice formed to the thickness of window glass in Canton, Conn, and throughout New England and Pennsylvania corn was nearly all destroyed in many sections. In August ice formed half an inch thick in Litch- field. A cold northern wind prevailed nearly all summer with heavy rain-falls. Corn was frozen that a greater part was cut down and dried in fodder. Farmers were obliged to pay $4 or $5 a bushel for corn of 1915 for seed for the next springs planting.

AN OBJECT LESSON

The frightful casualty in the New York factory, where 143 persons. mostly girls, lost their lives ill fire, which might have been prevented if reasonable precautions had been taken, is likely to have one good result in forcing the en- actment and obed1epce of proper laws applying to the construction and equip ment of similar buildings. It appears that just such slaughter as that of last Saturday had been repeatedly predicted by various persons, in and out of official positions in New York, who had presis- tently urged the enactment and obser- vance of ordinances applying to the reg ulation of high factory buildings, and the authorities are thus deprived of the right to plead inability to foresse and forestall the disaster. t..
 The distressing occurrence contains all the elements of an impressive lesson to other communities. Our own village of Canaan may read warning in it. A warning that long and lucky immunity from disaster may not safely be inter- perted as a guarantee of everlasting se- .curity. Too often the unexpected hap pens, and in too many instances the pre- caution follows the disaster, and the door is locked upon an empty stable. In Canaan the present condition of unpre- paredness for conflict with fire is little short of criminal. We have had warn inuc in ootT1o1 horo of bOy,oo and innumerable object lessons else- where, pointing out our plain duty. There is no denying that @ fire tonight, starting under the right conditions and at the right time, would wipe out the whole center of the village, with possi- ble loss of life, and such fire would find the community practically power less to cope with it.
 The Canaan Business Mems Associa- tion is considering ways and means of changing these conditions, and has vari- .ous plans in view. But the Business Mems Association is powerless to bring about adequate results without the auth ority that must come from an awakened and intelligent public sentiment, and it must be admitted that public sentiment, as it finds expression whenever this inn portant matter is put up to the people as a tangible. concrete proposition in which they all, individually, are concerned, is yet mighty onsartin and unsatisfactory quantity. And to the thinking observer it seems practically 8 settled thing that public sentiment is willing to wait patiently for the horse Uo be stolen be- fore it will consent to negotiations for the purchase of paddock for the stable door.

SHOT HIM WITH SALT
How Uncle Bill Rockwell Got Hunk
 With "Hoot" Barnes.

How Uncle Bill Rockwell Got Hunk
 With "Hoot' Barnes.
 Of Uncle Bill" Rockwell, who fourished in East Canaan about three quarters of century ago-a forceful character and man of genius and eccen- tricity-and of whom The News has printed various "reminiscences in this column, Jay Underwood relates an incl. dent from his own recollection.
 It appears. according to MT. Under woods story, that Uncle Bill had on his premises, among other fruit trees, one pear tree that bore particularly fine pears, and that each season it was only through the exercise of the most con- stant vigilance and the most rigid meas ures of precaution that he succeeded in saving any of the fruit of that tree for the enjoyment of his own households~ Boys, both big and little, and even men used to delight in confiscating those pears sometimes for the sake of the fruit itself, and sometimes for the sport of tantalizing Uncle Bill.
 Job Barnes, nick-namsd "Hoot" Barnes, another genius of those days, with companion named Stowe, put up job, one season when pears were ripe, to ''skin" Uncle Bills pet pear tree Tn the night. The plan worked all right up to certain point. They reached the tree and "Hoot" climbed it stealthily to pick off the fruit, while Stowe remained on the ground to gather it up. But Uncle Bill, ever suspicious and, on the alert, had heard the rustling in the branches, and instantly divined what was up.
 He loaded an old Queens arm" fint-lock musket with about quart of salt and quietly sneaked up to within easy range. "Hoct" had his back to- ward the marksnan and presented a most attractive target. Uncle Bill cooked his musket, took aim and pulled the trigger, but the fint-lock didn't work. "Hoot" heard the click though, and said to Stowe in a husky whisper:
 What's that?"
 Nothing, you fool" replied Stowe. Hurry up and pick them pears" "Hoot" went to picking again, and Uncle Bill aimed and pulled the trigger the second time. The gun went off, with sort of choking explosion, and the salt went straight to where it was sent. "Hoot" gave yell and tumbled out of the tree, crying:
 "I'm dead. Stowe, I'm dead l''
 "No you ain't dead neither" said Stowe, land you better get up and get out of this before Uncle Bill has time to load his cannon again"
 But "Hoot" persisted in his assertion that he was dead" and could be con- vinced that he wasn't only when Stowe raised him up, stood him on his feet and set the pace for him toward home. ''Hoot" was not seriously hurt but he was thoroughly salted, and stood up to his meals for a long time afterward.
