"CHARLIE" PR0CTOR'S SURPRISE
Former Canaanite's Old Home Met Him on the Road.

MT. and Mrs. Charles Proctor, of De- troit, Mich. are visiting friends in Ga naan and vicinity. MT. Proctor is re- membered by the older residents of Oa- naan as former dweller here. He is a son of the late John R. Proctor, who carried on a tailoring business i'll the house, which he built, now owned by Joseph Allyn, on Railroa street. The house was sold by the elIer Proctor, to the late Patrick Riley. It ori -iually stood on the site of the present Badgley block. The Proctor family left Canaan about 40 years ago and settled ill Detroit, where the father, mother and daughter Sara, died. Charles is the only survlvor of the family. He is prosperous busi ness man of Detroit and spends much of his time, in recent years. in travel with his wife. They recently returned from tour through the Pacific States, having spent considerable time in California.
 MT. Proctor relates an amusing incl dent of his last previous visit in Canaan, something over two years ago. With Mrs. Proctor he was strolling around the town, viewing the old landmarks, and came into Railroad Street from the north having turned from Elm Street, around the Granger coyner. Coming down by the Pease crossing MT. Proctor remarked to his wife, that when they got down a short distance farther he would show her his old home. On the way they found the road practically obstructed by a house which was on rollers and being moved up the road to a site already pre- pared for it. Proctor gazed at the mi grating house, then stood stock still and said to his wife:
 "Well, I'll be hanged if this isn't the identical house that I used to live in, and it's coming up the road to meet us. "
 And it was. Joe Allyn had purchased it, to transplant on his lot, and was at that very time moving it to its new To- cation.
 MT. and Mrs. Proctor are making their headquarters in Great Burlington, with relatives, during their stay in the east.

HALLOWEEN OBSERVANCE
Plate Glass Window Broken in Cele-
 brating Religious Anniversary.

Plate Glass Window Broken in CeIe-
 brating Religious Anniversary.
 The observance of Hallowe en, last Thursday night, was less bo1sterous than customary. In fact, compared to some previous celebrations it was almost en- titled to be denominated as safe and more or less sane. Of course the large boys and small men who stayed up to enter into the observance and conform to the rites and ceremonies that have distinguished the celebration from time immemorial, did so with more or less density of negative intelligence regard ing the origin or significance of it. How ever, the celebration was celebrated with more or less' noise and some sky larking and mischievous pranks. The large plate glass window in the front of John Barbieri's fruit store was broken, evidently with stone, and there were other tangible evidences of the real spirit the All Saints day observance. On the whole, however, the hoodlumism was less damaging and malicious than on some former occasions, for which the community, we suppose, ought to be profoundly grateful.

New York, March l4.-Theodore
Roosevelt has an editorial article in
the current issue of the Outlook, en-
titled "The Conservation of Business. T.
Shall We Stranglc or Control lt?'
1t In part follows:
y my speech ut Columbus | tried
to develop two main lines of thought:
First, that the people must govern
themselves, that they have n right to
rule, and that we must obtain social
and Industrial justice through genuine
popular government. and. second, that
our aim must be - rontel business,
not strangle 1t. In business we must
conserve ideas. efficiency, conserve the

serve our forests, our streams, our
natural resources.

Friday

ERIDAY, by ancient superstition, has been labeled
as an unlucky day. 1t is easy to beat the Friday
hoodoo. If you send your order for job printing to
the Mssouan Print Shop today, you will find that
the day is lucky for you. The will be the luckiest
thing you did, If you have not already formed the
habit of getting your printing done here. The first
order placed with The Missouian Print Shop opens
the eyes Of the who orders; it reveals to him the
that printing consists of something more than the mere
sticking of type and the running Of press over It. He
will learn that there an artistic touch to real print
ing which he cannot get unless he comes to shop
where the men know their business. The Missoulian
Print Shop has this sort Of men. You should make
your Friday lucky day by getting lined up with those
who patronze the home print shop, which is the shop
