enroIlment is from 126 to 275; third, those schools whose enrolment is from 276 up. In all these cases, the cradle rolls and the Home depart ments are not to be included in the enum eration. The generosity of three pub1ic-spirited Christian men who be- lfeve in the Sunday Schools has made these gifts possible.
 The reward to. be given to the school of the first class that wins it is a very beautiful and appropriate superintendent's chair, an oak chair with leather finish. The school win ming this reward will add a most use full and serviceable article of furni- ture to it's Sunday school room.
 The reward to go to the school of the second class winning it is a most necessary thing for any school to havss a durable and setviceab1e secretaTy's & desk. sThls desk is of fumed oak with polished top and will be put upon exc hibition in the show window of G. F. Nothnagle 6. Son next Tuesday.
 The third reward is to. be very artistic picture representing a very familiar, yet always interesting BibIi- cal scene. It is hoped that these re- wards will act as a stimulus to the schools and help to bring a large tu- crease of scholars to the line of pa ra,de on June 7th.
 Lieutenant Governor Lyman q. Tingier has promised to review the parade, while Ex-Lieut. Gov. D. A. Blakeslee will make one of the ad- dresses of the day.
 Friends and members of the Sun day schools are asked to watch the papers for full program which will appear this week.
 The enthusiasrt is spreading and q the schools are favored with cIeaI day, success will crown the efforts of the committee that has worked so very hard to make the whole anaiI a great success.

The au- tomobile had it's radiator and head lights badly broken.
 Neither Cole nor his helper was in- 5ured though unseated, and it was not at first thought that Coffey who was thrown from the car was badly injured.

INDIVIDUAL LICENSES
 FOR THE DRINKERS

Letters endorsing the plan to per sona1ly license men who want to drink were read from President Mellen of the New Haven road, and other mo- tables at the meeting held in the Y. M. c. A. last evening.
 pr. s. W. Sherwood said that the community has no difficulty in issuing licenses to automobilists, to folks who want to be married; then why, he argued, should there be objection to issuing licenses to those who wish to drink?
 William E.. A1bin of Westport, for rner member of the General Assembly, wrote heartily commenting the scheme.

BRANDECEE ON STAND IN LOBBY
 INVESTIGATION
Connecticut Senator Says He Has No Conflicting Business
 Interests
Congressman LeSheT Lands Im- pOTtant Assignment Con
 neCtiCut Fares We'll

| Washington June 3.-SenatOr Brandegee was on the witness stand yesterday before the sub committee of l the judiciary committee which is in vestigating the charge made by President Wilson that an insid- ious lobby was at work to de- 1 feat the Underwood Tariff bill. MT. Brandegee stated that he had no 1 interest in any manufacturing con- cern affected by the tariff, and that l he had no interest in the bill outside of the interests that were those of his constituents. He said: ''I have talked freely with other senators upon the tariff, giving | them my views and I do not believe that I influenced any of then.'' Among the Connecticut manufac- turers who have waited upon the Con necticut senators seeking modified tions in the tariff bill are Henry Hall ford. and the Cheney Bros, of South Manchester.
 On the Committees.
 Very well treated were the Connec- ticut members of Congress by the Democratic caucus in the matter of committee assignments yesterday.
 For the first time in many years Connecticut has been given a. place on the appropriation committee. It
 
 appointed to a place on this commit tee during his first term of service in the House and Congressman Mahan is to be congratulated upon his selection. Under, the rule adopted by the caucus this z4s the only committee appoint ment Mir. Mahan will receive.
 MT. Reilly remains on the commit tee on postoffices and post roads where he has been a very useful member. He was obliged by the rule to retire from membership on the coinage. weights and measures com m1ttee, which place was given to MT. Donovan. This committee is sure to have much important legislation to consider during this congress. There are already several propositions be- fore it, one to adopt standard bar rel, andN other matters recommended by the recent meeting of the Sealers of Weights and Measures. MT. Dono- van will also serve on the census and expenditure on public buildings com mitteesA
 MT. Lonergan was appointed a 1 member of the committee on public buildings and grounds, territories ar d | the expenditures in the Navy Depart ment.
 MT Kennedy becomes a member Of l the committee on patents, railway and | canals and of elections number 8.

LEsHER,s sELEc1oN

Washington. June 3-John V. Lesher. representative from the 18th Pennsvl- vania district carried off one Of the Juciest plurns secured by any of the first term members when the an announcement of committee assign- caucus today. MT Lesher was assign ed to the committee on agriculture which is held to be second to none. except that it is perhaps the commit tee on ways and means. This was the only assignment that he sought and his colleagues consider the recogni- tion given him as a signal honor be- cause of the fact that it is an open secret that the committee assign ments were passed upon by President Wilson after the slate had been pre- pared by the ways and means com nittee.s
 Tn rank upon the committee MT Lesher leads all of the new members. About 50 per cent. of the people of the Sixteenth Pennsylvania are fol- lowing agriculture for living and are located near the best markets in America, and there is no doubt that the farmers of all Pennsylvania will welcome the assignment of this citi- zen of Sunbury to a, position where he. will be- able to labor inteIltgently for their welfare.
 Although a lawyer by profession MT. Les7er will not go to the committee unacquainted with the needs and wants of the farmer. He was born on a farm, reared on a farm and at the present time is the owner of two farms near Sudbury where he spends all Of his leisure time close to na-. ture. MT. Lesher has always con tended that the two principal clements in the upbui1dfng of a nation after all is said and done, are the man and the land. He says that the man who raises bushe1 of potatoes is the citi- zen who really contributes to the wealth of the nation. As our innrni- grants of the past two decades have been more attracted to the cities than to the farm the committee on agri- the place from which eIninate the genius that is to blaze the way to keep the 1arder of the nation filled. It is evident that the President be- lieves that the lawyer farmer from Pennsylvania is made of the stuff that likes real work and plenty of it.
 Washington, June Congressman Goodwin, of Arkansas, then intr oduced bill in the House which provides for the use of Eour battleships to carry tire. world for the purpose of advanc- ing American trade. In commenting on his bill today MT. Goodwin said:
 "I can see no reason why the bat tleships we have built at so great an expense should not be used in ad- vancing American trade before they rot and become junk. This moment, when Europe is armed. camp and England eQuips even her mercha mt men with complements of guns, would, to my mind, be a proper time to set

Thursday Afternoon

From $50 until ) O'Clock last
Thursday, Cherry street was lined
with babies all going to the Wom-
ans Club House to be examined in
the Better Babies Contest, and
such babies! Many times that day
the remark was made by the doctors
and assistants, 'Why, / never knew
we had such lovely babies in Yer
mont
The doctors who did the exam
lining were: in the morning, Kicker.
Farmer, Fitch, Miltimore and Pache
of Danville; during the noon hour,

was chairman of this committee, but
was forced to resign.
When this committee had finished
their work and handed in the cards
to be classified, it was found that the
markings were very close,-many
scoring identically the same. This
has very materially affected
the cash prize department, making
1t necessary to have more money.
So on Thursday afternoon at two
o'clock DR.. F. e. Farmer will very
carefully explain how the score
cards were computed, and give an
informal talk to the mothers After
this at ESQ there will be a public
awarding of prizes. A small admis-

the same program will be
carried out on Saturday. Everybody

STATE MODEL FOREST
State Forester Would Like to Estab-
Iish One in This Vicinity

The Caledonia County Farmers
Association has received a communi-
cation from State Forester Hawes
making the following suggestions:
The state will establish, under GER
tain circumstances, a model forest
in your region. AS only $500 a
year is available for this work
throughout the state, the forester
will be influenced in the choice of
tracts by the local inducements for
such establishment. The tract should
be not less than 100 acres; should
be well located near a main high
way or railway to serve for a dem
onstration; and should preferably
have two or three kinds of land ty-
pical of the region. The forestry
department wishes to demonstrate
planting on waste lands, and the i'm
provement of existing woodlands.
The price must be reasonable, based
on an accurate estimate of standing
timber. The state pays taxes upon
these tracts, so the town will lose
nothing, and will gain much. If your
association knows of a tract avail
able and wishes to have a demon
stration made. | should be glad to
hear from you.
The state forester will hold a con-
ference in any locality in the state
where the people will provide a hall
free of charge. A conference con-
sists of an illustrated lecture in the
evening, and a meeting in the woods
the next forenoon to discuss local
forest problems. At least 10 people
must be guaranteed for this woods
which is the main feature
of the conference.
If sufficient interest is shown ar
rangements will be made through |
County Agent Stimson to hold meet
ings and demonstrations
