him 100 days The toastmaster in- timated that no such feeling existed between Stafford Springs and Rock vile, especially on the evening when the two largest communities in Tol- land county joined in honoring Rock the attachments of MT. Phelps and to the fact that he was being talked of as candidate for governor. In open ing, MT. Phelps admitted the many advantages of Stafford, but referred to the fact that they looked to Rockville for light The speaker said it was only question of time when an all night service of electricity would be constant reminder of the neighbor 1 ing city. MT. Phelps said that no topic had been assigned, and he had selected conservation as one of much interest at present. The speaker favored conservation of material re- sources, but felt that the conservation of energy was also important. He believed that there was much energy wasted in legislation, and favored shorter sessions with fewer laws. He referred to the revised procedure of the ancient race suffering from too many laws. The plan introduced was to have the man proposing new law to do so with rope around his neck. If the law passed, all was we'll. If not, the legislator passed. He closed his able address with a brilliant de- scription of two pictures. The first of Europe depicting Caesar at the height of his power. The conqueror was mounted on a beautiful white charger without bridle or saddle, di- rected alone by the wonderful energy and will power of his rider. Behind him was the desolation caused by the war of conquest waged by Rome's most famous general The other pie ture was a mental one of Lincoln giv- ing his address at Gettysburg. The sadness and peace of the advocate of government by the people, for the people was contrasted with the afro gance of the government by might. The speaker was warmly applauded at the conclusion of his effort.
 Introducing the last speaker, ex-Gov. Folk of Missouri, the toastmaster re- ferred to his work ten years ago, when as a young attorney but little known, he won the attention of the country by his fearless prosecution of the St. Louis graft cases. MT. Folk impresses his hearers first of all with his ear- nestness. His other leading attributes are courage and honesty, as his work has proved. His subject was ''The Era of Conscience, and he spoke eloquently, referring frequently to his work as prosecuting attorney in St. Louis. MT. Folk believes it takes more courage to live for our country than it does to die for it. Many men

WALES.

No definite action has been taken as to rebuilding the Methodist church, which was burned some time ago, but it is expected that after a time 8 chapel will be erected on the site ot the church.
 The annual roll-call and business meeting of the Wales Baptist church is to be held on Thursday evening, April 4, in the church. No services were held on Sunday because of the severe storm.
 Real estate is showing more activity in Wales this spring than in several years. Several transfer have recently been made among which are the Rogers place on Main street, bought from Clinton Rogers of Rochester, N. Y., by Alvin A. Hubbard, who is making some repairs preliminary to moving from the Lyon house, opposite the fountain, where he has lived since his home was destroyed by fire in Oc- tOber. The Rogers place joins MT. Hubbard's land upon which his barn still remains. Ozro P. Royce has bought from Mrs. Julia Parker the house and barn known, as the Steb- bins place, opposite the Baptist par sonage, and is to make some changes and improvements, moving from the Cady house to his new purchase very soon The Thompon place, one of the best in the village and embracing several acres of land, overlooking the Shawville pond, has been exchanged for property on Montrose street in Springfield with 0. w. Elkins, who will very soon take up his residence in Wales. Several other places have been bought by Springfield parties re- gently for investment.

Doctors Use This for Eczema

Dr. Evans. Ex-Commissioner of Health, says There is almost no relation be- tween skin diseases and the blood" The The germs must be washed out, and so Salves have long ago been found worth- less. The most advanced physicians of are prescribing a wash of wintergreen, thymol and other ingredients for eczema and all other skin diseases. This com round is known as D.D.D. Prescription for Eczema.
 Dr. Holmes, the we'll known skin spe- cialist writes: "I am convinced that the D.D.D. Prescription is as much specific for eczema as quinine for malaria. We lave been prescribing the D.D.D. remedy for years"
 We. ourselves vouch for the D.D.D.

 Despite the muddy places in the highways there was a good attend ance at church and Sunday school. Rev. E. w. Darrow took the text for his excellent sermon from Matt. 21:9, a sermon appropriate for Palm Sun day. The duet by MT. and Mrs. Oar row was exceptionally fine and all the musical selections appropriate and we'll rendered. The Easter music was rehearsed.
 Mrs. Sleight came Friday for the Easter vacation. We wonder if she will find name for her new residence as pretty and appropriate as "Cozy- croft'' for the Cosgrove farm. It enhances the value of property to be appropriately and euphoniously named. On motor ride last summer over the western towns of the county with the state road inspector and his wife, we were most interested in those farms where the name was obvious, and those places are the ones that made a mental impression easy to recall For instance in driving lover -east'', we look for 'Cady Villa" in Warrenville, and we take in the beauty, comfort and good taste as we should not had not the name for a long time appealed to us.

The Aurora RoreaIi..

According to theory enunciated by Professor Lenard. the aurora borealis is formed of cathode rays, emitted by the sun and dehected by the terrestrial magnetic field in the upper strata of the atmosphere. The velocity of these cathode rays must be nearly equal to that of light and very much greater than the velocity of cathode rays pro- duced in the laboratory. Lenard con cludes that these extremely ''hard'' cathode rays are emitted by unknown radioactive substances i'm the sun.
