Letter to Mcclellan Bros. neiA rArn.&


 Dear sirs: Experience teaches some people sometimes; it teaches a few some thinks; t's a mighty slow school though that same experience. Lots of people paint -iead-and-oil paint once in three years, and think themselves wise; they are wasting half their money and fuss. They're so sure they are wse, they die as they live, paint-foolish. Experience teaches them nothing.
 There's another set, who buy paint by the gallon. and go by the price of a gallon. They think one price is high and another is low; and they pay about middling: why don't they pay 1ok? They know that milk ism t dear or cheap by the price of quart; that the milk has something to do with it. They don't buy "cheap' milk, but they buy cheap" paint and pay. double. Experience teaches them nothing.
 There's another set. They painted years ago 1ead-andoi1; exhausted that. Then tried something- else; t was better or worse. Then Devoe;. it cost about half and sNvore twice as long That's how experience teaches
 Yours truly

 Keeping the Map Straight.
 Mir. Hemstreet is officially marking the routes and local motorists were much interested in the outfit which enables him to keep his route always in its correct geographical direction. On his chart is mounted a compass and beside it q dial. The latter point in the general direction in which the patnfnding car is running and by keeping the dial and the needle of the compass parallel Mir. Hemstreet ai- ways has his map pointed properly he big roadster is driven by MT White, who is division advertising manager of the United States Motor company. This roadster attracted a great deal of attention because of it's size and its baggage compartment, which can be reached only by opening the back of the front seat, insuring a dust and waterproof space.
 Nessrs. Hemstreet and White called upon the local dealer during their short visit here, talking over the de- tails of the A. A. A. route work and general automobile conditions. They report that the roads from Greenfield to this point are in good condition and that the interest in the spring touring is very much alive.

ANNA N. HERR Y. w, c. T. U.

Pleasing Programme Carried Out
 There on Flower Mission Day.

About 25 members and friends of the Anna Nj. Herr Y. ". c. T. U. met at the aImshouse on Sunday. June g, to celebrate Jennie Cassedays birthday, which is known as Flower Mission day all over the world.
 The superintendent, Mrs, J J. Fields, in response to many queries, explained the long absence of the so- ciety, which has been due to the ill., ness of Mrs. Fields.
 The opening hymn, Revive Us Again. as being appropriate of the occasion, was sung, followed by two other favor ties, accompanied on the piano by Miss Holloway. The scripture lesson. The Law of Love, was read by Miss Cnristman, followed with prayer b9 Mrs. Fields. Another hyHm was sung, after which Miss Rogue read an arti- cIe on Flower Missions and It's Many Branches.
 The Misses Ruth and Ciementine Jordan then gave duets on the piano and violin, The Swallows and the Mlnuet from Beethoven, which were much enjoyed.
 Mrs Fields gave a talk on the scrip ture lesson and flower missions. More hymns were sung; another duet, Beau tiful Night, from Tales of Hoffman, was enjoyed, the service closing with the Mizpah benediction.

SENATOR RRANDEeEE's
 COMMITTEES REPORT
Bill Relative to Panama Canal Ex- Pectsd Will Differ Greatly from House Measure.
lsnecial to The BnlIetin.0

Special to The Bulletin.)
 Washington, D. C., June S-In all probability the bill regulating the op- eration of the Panama canal will be reported out of the senate committee on interoceanic canals, of which Sen ator Frank B. Brandegee of Connec- ticut is chairman, early next week. The committee has accorded hearings to representatives of the railroads, steamships and commercial bodies and all others who have asked to be heard. The railroads were not given a hear ing while the bill was under process Cf incubation in the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce, and accordingly raised fog that their interests were being jeopardized through the log trolling methods of the extremists of both political parties. Rather than have this charge go to the country unchallenged, Senator Brandegee threw the doors of his committee room open to whenever de- sired to enter and be heard in assist ing to formulate bill that it is sin cerely hoped will show wisdom and constructive statesmanship in every line.
 It is expected the bill will differ very materially from the house meas Gre, particularly with reference to the rrohibition of railroad owned steam ships operating through the canal The free toll provision of the house bill relating to vessels engaged in the coastwise trade, 1t is believed, will re- main in the senate measure when il comes from the committee next week.
