 His fond wife rested claw tenderly on his fourth shoulder and soothingly answered, Don't borrow trouble, Billy! Think of the happy years we have spent here.

Store there is just now a special reduction sale of fine Christ mas stationery and Women's high grade hand bags. Look in. at this popular store and avail yourself of the chance to buy correct stationery and best leather hand bags, at figures far below the right price. The P. O.

PORTABLE SCHOOL WANTED
 IN THE NORTH END.
Demand in Huntington Road Section Becoming Insistent and Residents
 Are Disappointed.
Special to The Farmer.)

Especial to The Farmer.)
 Stratford, Dec. 272The residents of the Huntington road section are much disappointed over the action of the authorities in removing the portable school house from the rear of the Cen ter school and re-erecting it on Surf avenue. They had hoped that the building would be removed to this sec tion to provide for the children there during the winter. Those children who are forced to take the long ride in an uncomfortable wagon are not pleased with the daily experience, and their parents are determined to obtain a school, house for the section if pos sible. It was principally for this purpose that the Taxpayers Associa- tion was formed there recently. AL though the rehidents of the vicinity of Surf avenue are pleased at hav- ing a school house there, they had hoped for something better than the portable building. It is evident that the school house problem will be the burning issue in the town in the fu- ture. The large increase in the popu- lation of the town which promises to continue indefinitely will tax the town school committees severely.
