FLAG DAY

Camp Fire Girls Have Appropriate
 Observance on School Grounds.
 Flag Day in Canaan was observed by the Wangum Camp Fire Girls, who as sembled on the School grounds at 2:30, in their middy costume, and went through a series of evolutions according to pro- gram arranged by Mrs. Nestell. Owing to illness, Mrs. Nestell was unnble to be present, and Mrs. Hitchcock was in charge of the exercises, which began with the Salute to the Flag. followed by a chorus recitation of the principal points in the flags history. Miss Ellen Lin- dell read in detail the history of the flag, after which eight girls gave very pretty flag drill under command of Miss Aida Lindell, who originated the drill and trained the girls in the evolutions, which were given with military precision and elicited cordial applause. The exercises were brief, but appropriate and signifi- cant, and should have attracted larger company of witnesses.

Gorman House Burned

Wednesday night at about 10 o'clock the house on the Ashley Falls road standing on the west side of the road this side of the Ashley Falls bridge, and known as the German house, was dis covered to be on fire, and in spite of all efforts of the neighbors to save 1t, it was totally destroyed.
 The house was nnoccupied at the time. and belonged to William German. The origin of the fire is unknown, but the flames were said to have started inside the building. There was $200 lnsur- ance on the property. The reflection of the fire. on the sky. was distinctly seen in Canaan.
 The burned house was occupied, over @ generation ago by the father of D wight l.. West, former Oanaanite who mar ried sister of Eugene Root and is now in Negaunee, Mich. The elder West ran a shoemaker shop there, up to 40 years ago.

 The church had been tastefully deco rated with flowers and plants for the Sunday exercises, which began at the usual hour of morning service and con- sisted of the anniversary sermon by the pastor, report of which is appended hereto.

local clergymen and their wives and members of Pilgrim Church with the adult members of their families. The ladies fed about 15O in all.
 A diverting feature of the lunch was the bustling entrance of MT. H. E. Lyles, with small box which he handed over to Pastor Gillette, with the remark that he had found it in his automobile a moment before and he thought possibly the minister might know to whom 1t belonged. A removal of the cover re- vealed thirteen shining $5 gold pieces, and a card inscribed with the comph- ments of "friends of Rev. and Mrs. Gillette"
 At the conclusion of the lunch toasts were responded to, among the speakers being Rev. George W. Judson, of Win sted who spoke for the Ministers Associ- ation, giving eloquent and cordial greet ings on behalf of his clerical brethren and paying a fine and deserved tribute to MT. Gillette. Another toast "the Con- ference," was responded to by that bril- liant speaker, MT. Thomas L. Norton, of Salisbury, whose wit has enlivened ros- trum and banquet board for the last two generations and is as incisive and irre- sistible as ever. MT. Norton was unus- ually sedate on this occasion, however, and in well chosen words felicitated the Pilgrims on their progress and achievements.
 There were present seventeen mern- bers of the Ministers Assoclation and large delegations were present from East Canaan, Norfolk, Salisbury, Falls Village and Cornwall. The church in Southfield, of which MT. Gillette was formerly pastor, sent delegation. At the dinner the prayer of blessing was by the Rev. Harry Cornford; and the bene- diction closing the exercises was pro- nounced by the Rev. MT. Atwood who was the first pastor of the East Canaan Church to hold services in this village.

OILING IN PATCHES.

Private Citizens Buy Oil For Limited
 Distribution
 Impatient at the delay of the state highway department in providing oil for sprinkling the streets of the village, a number of business men on Railroad street, "chIpped in" last week, procured a half-dozen barrels of oil, and had it distributed from point above the Ma tional Bank, around the corner to the Main street crossing in front of the Canaan Mercantile Company's store.
 The dust nuisance has become some- thing well-nigh intolerable, and as there seems to be no immediate or early relief in sight, so far as the state department IS concerned, the business men. in the center of the village, deem it the part of wisdom to "take the bull by the horns' and help themselves as we'll as they can. The only available street sprinkler seem- ed hardly adapted for oil distribution, and as an effective alternative. Austin Joyce was engaged to put the oil down, on the short Main street strip, with an ordinary sprinkling can. which he did in manner even moresatisfactory than the wagon sprinklers could do it.. The expedient has abated the dust nuisance to some extent. in very linn ited area, and the community are pray ing that the state commissioner will take pity on us before we all choke to death, and give the main streets much need ed fabrication.

 An interesting letter was read from s. A. Eddy. who was the organizer and first superintendent of the Sunday school. He recalled the early days of the school and the sessions In the old Village Improvement Association hall. Some interesting facts concerning the school were then given by the pastor.

FINE PROGRAM

Methodist Sunday School Observes
 ChiIdren's Day and 5oth Anniversary.
 Last Sunday was given over to the observance of Children's Day at both services. In the morning five children received the rite of baptism and the pastor, Rev. H. Cornford, made an ad- dress appropriate to the occasion. Two members were also received by letter.
 At o'clock. an audience that taxed the seating capacity of the church, gathered to witness the Children's Day services. The church was profusely decorated with flowers and the school made pretty picture grouped in front of the big organ. surrounded by immense bouquets of blossoms and ferns. During the opening song the little ones from the Primary department marched to their chairs on the platform. After the prayer and scripture reading and recitations by Myrtle Brazie and Ellen Lindell, the little ones took their parts in the pro- gram, passing from song to recitation WlbLOub DSluS CdII0u Ou'
 From Perry Badgley's Welcome, " when he "forgot to make his bow" to the end, every child from little Isabelle Lindell to the oldest in the department carried out his or her part to perfection, showing the careful training given them by Misses Catherine Roraback, Lindell and Howe.
 The Intermediate department pre- sented the service of song and recitation "The Building of the Ship" A skele- ton frame work of a ship had been pre- pared in sections and covered with flowers these parts were brought for ward with an appropriate scripture verse or recitation, and put together, making ship over five feet long.
 The songs were partic alarly pleasing, due to the careful training given by Mrs. F. F. Stevens and Miss Many el, who had general charge of arranging the program.
 The closing tableau and song, "Signal Lights" was made effective by turning off the lights in the body of the church and using flashlights held aloft in the hands of the five young ladies who wore sashes bearing the words, Love. Truth, Patience, Hope and Faith.
 This being the 50th year of the school, special reference was made to it by the pastor and the superintendent. MT. G. W. Parsons, the latter reading sketch written by Mir. George L. Parsons, who was at the head of the school from 1875 to 1892, telling of the early officers, the list of superintendents from the first one elected, Nelson M. Brown in May, 1869, to the present time. The early records of the school are missing so that the story of the first years was gathered from recollections of those Who were active in the organization at that time. It is the purpose of the officers of the school to still further collect facts about the school and they will welcome any items of interest connected with it's beginning.

A Political Psalm

The following Political Psalm" is contributed by a reader, as particularly timely in these days of strenuous politi- cal activity: ',
 The politician is my shepherd, shall not want any good thing during the campaign. He leadeth me into the saloon, for my votes sake, he filleth my pockets with good cigars, my glass of beer runneth over. He prepareth my ballot for me ill the presence of my better judgment. Yea, though walk through mud and rain to vote for him and for higher taxes, and shout myself hoarse when he IS elected, straightway he forgetteth me. To when l meet him in his own office he knoweth me not Surely the wool hath been pulled over my eyes all the days of my life.

Jane Aodams on Votes tor Women

Jane Addams on Votes tor Women
 Much of the new demand for political enfranohisement arises from desire to remedy the unsatisfactory and degrad- ing social condftions which are respons- ible for so much wrong-doing and wretchedness. The fate of all the un- fortunate. the suffering, the criminal, is daily forced upon public attention in painful and intimate ways. But because of the tendency to nationalize all indus trial and commercial questions, to make the state responsible for the care of tho helpless to safeguard by law the food we eat and the liquid we drink, to sub ordinate the claim of the individual fam fly to the health and we'll being of the community, contemporary women who are without the franchise are much more outside the real life of the world than any set of disenfranchised men could possibly have been in all history. unless it were the men slaves of ancient Greece because never before has so large an area of life found civic expression never has Hegel's definition of the state been so ao- curate, that it is the realization of the moral ideal" Certain it is that the phe- nomenal entrance of women into govern mental responsiblility in the dawn of the twentieth century Is coincident with the consideration by governmental bodies of the basic human interests with which women have been additionally concern ed. A most advanced German statesman recently. declared in the Reichstag that 1t was a reproach to the imperial govern ment itself, that out of two million children born annually in Germany, 400, 900 died during the first 12 months of their existence. He proceeded to cat alogue various reforms which might remedy this, such as a better housing. the increase of park areas. the erection of municipal hospitals, the provision for an adequate milk supply and many another, but he did not make the very obvious suggestion that women might be of service in situation involving the care of children less than a year old.
 Nevertheless, in spite of this lack of perception, women all over the world ape claiming and receiving Q place in representative government because they insist that they will not cease to perform their traditional duties, simply because these duties have been taken over by ex- isting governments Political rights have been accorded to them in Finland where women are sitting in the national parliament, in Sweden and Denmark where they are about to receive the full franchise, in New Zealand and Australia where they have exercised it for a quar- ter of century. The extension of tho franchise to women is discussed as an immediate possibility in England and has actually been given to amilliou and 8 quarter women in the United States.
