HEALTH OFFICER SHAW
OUSTED.
DIR E. S. FULTON NAMED
SUCCESSOR.

For some time it has been ap-
parent to many that the local
Board Of Health would at an ear
" date spring some surprises on
the commnnity that would be
distatesful to some and be pleas
ant news to others who differ with
DR.. Shaw in the conduct Of his Of
fee, the general opinion among
the masses being that he has made
a very good official, having done
q great deal of hard work in try
ing to give the City thorough
cleaning up. What many found
o hardship at first was after
wards recognized as for the pub
lie good, hence he has had the
backing Of the community IN
most every position he assumed
where the people were concerned.
Just exactly what brought on
the breech that resulted in his re-
moval last Tuesday night, we do
not know, however, DIR. p. 8. Full
ton. another Of our local practi.
TONERS was named as his success
sor, This has resulted in injunc-
ton proceedings being filed by
DR.. Shaw, estopping DR.. Fulton
from acting in that capacity. At
all events the matter will be aired
in the Courts and probably before
it il settled by that slow tribunal
the Commission Form of Govern
ment will be 40 operation which
does away entirely with PAID
health officials.
Following is the petition g
served upon the Court. which
was granted:

49, While some Of the Civil Service
employeesr ofliths' government are
fearful lest means may be found
by "a new administration to sep
airate them fromthsiS. jobs it is
virtually, certain that the .scieen-
lists who are working for Uncle
Sam in Washington at a small
wage feel no terror for the future:
In the various scientific bureaus
Of the government learned, men
are laboring for sheer love of
their work. The pay is only
fraction of that they could COM
mand elsewhere, but through the
government channels they can
make their knowledge felt, and
so they are willing, like members
of the Progressive Party, to work
for the cause. The government
pays its scientists niggardly. sal
aries,f but perhaps Uncle Sam
feels that as long as the spirit of
the workers is willing they need
no other recompense than the JOY
Of their work. Nevertheless it is
a mean showing which this gov
eminent makes on part of its
pay rolls.-Chicago Post.

FARMERS DAWN CANAAN

The experiment. of Farmers h. stitute" and Bargain Day in Canaan, as planned by the Business Mems Associa- tiona and the local merchants, should prove mutually profitable to the farmers and others interested in the matters with which the "Institute'' will deal, and the local business men.
 The coming of expert teachers from the State Agricultural College at Storrs, to demonstrate scientific methods of car. ing for orchards and fruit trees, poultry etc, should attaot the attention of every person who has a fruit tree on his premises. The care of trees especially is problem that is receiving more ear nest and profound study than ever be- fore, and one which every farmer and landowner should more thoroughly understand
 Every phase of agriculture is receiving more careful study and attention than formerly, and it is the purpose of the Business Mems Association, if next Thursdays experiment. attracts degree of attention that indicates a due appre- citation on the part of those who should naturally be interested in it, to follow it up with demonstrations along other lines by experts from the states school.
 It is coming to be generally recognized that up,to date, advanced treatment and scientific study of trees, vines, plants, and especially of the soil itself are solv- ing problems that have always perplex. ed the farmer, gardener and fruit raiser, and that the antiquated methods, to which the abandonment of many of the unproftable farms is due, must go, if the agriculturalist hopes to make his farm yield competence, or even a live ihood,
 The bargain day" feature of the oc- oasion, with 10 per cent. discount. is in- troduced not for the purpose of inveigling the outsiders to come into town to spend money, that the merchants may profit by their interest in the demonstrations, but to give those outsiders, and especially the farmers in the nearby outlying dis tricts, an opportunity to become more intimately acquainted with Canaan s business establishments and convince them of the tangible value of the work which the Canaan Business Mems Asso citation is endeavoring to do for the bene fit of not only the village of Canaan, but the surrounding districts for the bene ]GA # tI, For ac thn mPrHnant and business man, and tg give these wis itors so favorable an impression of the Association and it's aims and methods that they will recognize it as an institu tion worthy of their esteem, good vii and cooperation.

BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WAIT, IN HARTFORD POST "God Is goodr' How mother said it
 When her way smooth and bright; And she ceased to say it,
 Though her path dark night. Said it in the early morning,
 And again at dewy eve. How her face would always brighten
 With the blessing she'd receive. Said it when the tears were streaming Down her cheeks like summer rain And no sooner had she said it
 Than the smile came back again And when sorrows came upon us,
 How we'll mother understood How she'd comfort us by saying,
 It's all right, for God is good" Even now 1 seem to hear her,
 Though it's years since she fell asleep, And fancy l can almost see her
 Standing by her watch to keep God Is good Yes, mother knew it. Because twas true her life blest Then when at last she grew weary, God was good and gave her rest
