Quite a bit Of excitement was

men was Immediately recruited
and supplied with lanterns and
fusees, and escorted to the can

which lasted all night.
At 1910 a false alarm given
called in the party, and at 3
O'Clock the search was discon-
tinued until daylight. AT the
first break of light search was re-
sumed. Bernie Atwood, a Santa
Fe engineer, heard the little girl,
Dorothy, calling for her papa. al
though she was a long ways off.
He travelled about two miles be-
fore coming up to her, and she
had just then risen from her bed
beside the bush and was starting
on another stroll.

Thomas A. EdisOn's Prediction
In an article in the August
Woman's Home Companion
about moving pictures. the au-
thor commends the use of NOV
ing pictures by the churches,
and shows how DEVELOPMENTS
along that line will probably
come. In the course of the arti-
Gle appear the following para
graphs presenting Mr.. Thomas
A. Edison's predictions relative
to moving pictures:
Mr.. Edison. the inventor OF
the motion pictures, believes
that their greatest effectiveness
will be in education. He wants
to make them an integral part
Of the publie-school system. and
experiments are now being made
in his home town. Orange, New
Jersey. He now has operators
in Africa with instructions to
take everything from Cape
Town to the mouth of the Nile,
to be used in teaching geography.
Mr.. Edison's idea is that NOV
ing pictures will take the place
of most os the textbooks below
the ninth grade. He maintains
that children will learn geo.

will have a more intelligent UNI

ment difficult 10 answer, al
though it is doubtful if il would
ever be wise to do away with
text books, but one can supple
ment the other. The inventor
maintains that moving pictures
can be used with equal effective
ness to teach history. He has
already reproduced the Battle Of
Lexington. and. he insists, with
historical accuracy. Also he has
reproduced Washington crossing
the Delaware. The familiar
painting of the latter exploit, so
far as accuracy is concerned. is
about the absurdest fiction that
ever became established.
Mr.. Edison believes that
with moving pictures he can
teach almost anything IN school
except arithmetic. Mabe he is
a little overoptlmistic, And
there is another important point
which he does not discuss, and
that is the effect of the moving
pictures upon the eyes. The
constant flicker is excessively
trying to most of US, and it is
absolutely necessary that, if
moving pictures are introduced
into the schools, it shall be made
certain that this constant vibra-
ton does not have any i'll effect
upon the sight of the pupils. "

Norwich bulletin., 1912-11-23

Seeing them as l have during the past fortnight in their forlorn aban- donment for the winter; looking over their neglected or mismanaged fields; imagining the damp darkness of their shuttered interiors; looking in vain for sign of horse or COW or sheep or dog: listening in vain for the noise of children:-I have begun to wonder whether right here isn't one more or less efficient cause for the decadence of some country towns, in point of population and productiveness. In this, my own town there are certainly two or three thousand acres of the towns very best land withdrawn from practical farming in this way. In stead of adding anything to the wealth of the world, these thousands of acres are withdrawing something from the wealth of the world, since none of them is paying from it's own output the cost of it's own upkeep.
 How much larger would be the popu- lation of this town, if every one of these farms was in the hands of an all- the-year resident,-the whole family, men, women and children, at work or at school, in church or at grange from January first to December thirty first? How much greater would be the pro ductive aggregate of the town if every one of these farms was driven and cajoled and managed by skilled and | experienced farmer to it's best yields of corn and potatoes and grains and fruits?
 I don't know. But anybody can see that there would be more people in town if twenty winter-vacant houses were all -the-year-round home, and that there would be more potatoes raised if twenty up-to- date, on-the- | job farmers were at work on these un- used fields.

their capital to the development of the country along country lines.

In other words, while Pm as solici- tous as any to bring capital into the rural districts, Pm beginning faintly to question whether it is for the ultimate advantage of those districts to have it used for the withdrawal of rural resources from natural rural occupa- tion.
 Pm inclined to dogmatize about the matter: I'm not sure in my own mind. There's a deal to be said, O both sides. But somehow, the remem- brance of those big, empty houses and those fine mistreated farms has set me on the wonder. of late, whether what we need most in farming towns is more summer residents or more all- theyear farmers.
 THE FARMER
Norwich bulletin., 1912-11-23

Bear in mind too, that most of these summer residents places are on what used to be the better farms or the town. They were bought by the present owners, just because they looked good. They had been well man. aged, had supported their past own CTS and generally given bonus be- sides, to be used in fixing up." The fields showed smiling faces; the build ings were roomy and convenient: the whole place suggested prosperity, either past, present or potential. MT. and Mrs. Summer Resident were at- tracted by these signs.

Therefore they bought. Therefore these dozen or score of superior farms are now practically withdrawn from the serious worlds work of production and turned into play grounds for hob by-riding. They are the amusements of their owners: they stand on par with golf-links or tennis-courts.

The Star of the Sea Total Abstinence

The Star of the Sea Total Abstinence society observed the anniversary of it's organization last Thursday evening with exercises in the hall of the so- clety. formerly the old Bethel church edifice at the corner of Jay and Hunt ington streets. This society has dur ing it's long existence, it's prosperous and it's discouraging seasons and just about this time seems to be in the doldrums Fortunately all through it's long career it has had the hearty SUD- port of the pastors and assistants of St. Mary's Star of the Sea church. The society was organized by Rev, M. Tierney, afterwards bishop of the diocese of Hartford, then pastor at New London, and naturally received his earnest support the balance of his life. The succeeding pastors, Fathers LaWler, Broderick, and Joynt, now de- ceased lent their assistance in the per- petuation of the society, and the present pastor, Rev. T. M. Crowley, is also actively interested in the welfare of the society encourages the object for which the society was organized, the advancement of Catholic Total Ab- stinence.

Even the little Condon cottage. It was bought, long years ago, by a hard-working ,simple-living farmer. He made all that was possible out of his few acres, worked for others and saved his wages, fixed up the little place into a comfortable home, and died. The new owners have added a few fancy touches along the lines of moderniZatiOn, and live there about three months of the year. The rest of the time they stay in town, where they have steam heat and electric lights and don't have to shovel their own paths.

1 understand perfectly that there's another side to the matter. That these summer residents bring money into the town with them and spend some of it here. They tend to enlarge the local market for small farmers. That their places are attractive to see,-when they are occupied. That from the extravagances of their anna teurish experimenting we working farmers can sometimes glean sugges- tion for really economical improve ments.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-11-23

And yet, here in this little hill town, which has been slowly decreasing in population for more than twenty years, are more than dozen of their farms practically withdrawn from farming. Of course as has been intimated, Q few of them make a show of working their land. But it is an amateurish, glove wearing way. None of them use over- alls, and none would dirty those garments if they did. Not one of them is making his farm pay;-not even pay expenses. They are not farming as business but as a side issue. And no real farming was ever yet done or ever will be done as a side-issue. It takes all the wisdom and all the experience and all the fnicky care and all the hard work that g mighty good man can compass to do real farming. One reason a great many Uf us don't succeed at it is because we haven't enough in us, at the best, giv- ing all we have, to compel success.
 Most anybody can exist on a farm
