Suggested by Picture To the Editor of The News;

To the Editor of The News; . The following unrhymed lines were suggested by the birth of posthumous child to the late Joseph Ganci, who, some time before his death, selected for the calendar for his business a picture called "Mother Love:'' Upon my walls there hangs picture.

 with the little babe upon her arm: look too into the home he left And there, beside the fire she sits The one he chose to be his wife and
 mother of his babes Smiling through her tears at the little
 babe she bore beneath her heart
 when they bore him to the grave Him who will never look upon his own
 nor know the joy of this new fa-

 when he chose this picture,

 'Didn't know the ice was thin," is now taking its place along side of "rock the boat" and "didn't know the gun was Floaded," as an excuse for an unusually large number of fatalities.-New Haven Union. ...- The investigation business is not al- ways satisfactory. Two years ago there were two inquiries which cost the state $Io,ooo with mighty little good accruing. There are now seven resolutions for in- VeStlgatlonS at Hartford. It may de- velop into case of "damned if you do and damned if you don't" If the inves- | tigations are made and no tangible re- suits are attained there will Joe trouble and if the investigations are not made there will be given free rein to the imagination to fancy the most horrible political gargoyles exist-Meriden Re- | cord.

Science pays vast fees for each notable addition to the. store of human knowledge.- Waterbury Republican.
 John D. Rockefeller, jr., is probably correct in his declaration of the justice of righteous wealth, but all depends on the definition of what righteous wealth is.

 I am glad that some one has suggested re-christeniHg our cemetery. And now that the ball is started. let's keep it roll ing until our "city of the dead' has an appropriate name, and then give it better appearance by substituting an iron fence across the front i'll place of the old boards.

 A face from each fireside has fled, But we know that our loved ones are

Two Smooth Ones.

The Bald. Head Club of America has shown wisdom in the selection of two of it's speakers for the annual banquet to be held in Canaan, the choice having fallen upon Lieutenant Governor Lyman Twin ing Tingier of Rockville, and Col. Will liam Henry Hall of Willington. Both are prominent members of the organiza- tion. The other members of the club will learn-if they don't know it already -that these speakers, while minus something on the outside of their "domes," are ab undantly blessed inside with what is worth more than hair. The "B.-H." fellows have 8 double treat coming-the privilege of gathering in Canaan and hearing two of Holland County's distinguished citizens.-Rock- vile Journal.

Let Us Smile,

The thing that goes farthest towards making life worth while, That costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile. The smile that bubbles from a heart that loves its fellow-men Will drive away the cloud of gloom and coax the sun agaln. It's full of worth and goodness, too, with manly kindness blent- It's worth a million dollars and doesn't cost cent. There is no room for sadness when we see cheery smile; 1t always has the same good luck-it's never out of style It nerves us to try again when failure makes us blue; The dimples of encouragement are good for me and you. It pays a higher interest, for it is merely lent It's worth million dollars, and doesn t cost a cent. A smile comes very easy-you can wrinkle up with cheer A hundred times befote you can squeeze out soggy tear. It nipples out moreover to the heart strings that will tug, And always leaves an echo that is very like hug. So, smile away. Folks understand what by smile is meant, It's worth million dollars, and doesn' t cost a cent.

 Col. Osborn knows, for he has attend ed every annual banquet of the Canaan Association, from the first, until this years event, and he's coming to the next one.

What to Take During 1918.

Take this paper.
 Take comfort-if you can.
 Take things easy-within reason.
 Take the girl you love to be your wife.
 Take care of your health. It is the most valuable thing you have.
 Take hint when it is intended for you. Don't wait to be knocked down.
 Take fiattery ..as an insult, and an honest compliment is something to be grateful for.
 Take pains to be faithful and consci. entious in business. It will bring you success.
 Take offense only at things worth be- ing offended at. It is n sure evidence of a small mind to notice trifles.
 Take hold of any work that comes to your mind rather than be idle. Luck always waits upon the busy,
 Take time to be polite and kind al- ways. Rudeness never pays, the boor may think so but he is wrong.
 Take trouble like man. Don't go whining about when it comes, but shut your mouth and stand up under it reso- lutely.
 Take trip now and then, and try to see something outside of the town you live in. Travel is one of the best educa- ors.-Exchange.
