Major Bromley Stays.

Major Bromley's many friends. among the newspaper fraternity and elsewhere. will be glad to know he is not to withdraw from the press de- partment of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, as stated. MT. E. G. Riggs. of New York is manager of new department of publicity, en- tirely distinct from the press agency, and his title is executive assistant with headquarters in New York and he is making it an effective agency for the dissemination of valuable and timely in formation concerning the railroad and it's activities. The press agency, how ever. has functions of its own, essen tially different from the new depart. ment, and it is gratifying to be assured that Major Bromley, who created his department and made it what it is, will remain at it's head.

BOY SCOUTS SUPPER
Fine Spread Enjoyed by Canaan Patrol,
 Prepared by Ladies.

Fine Spread Enjoyed by Canaan Patrol,
 Prepared by Ladies.
 Friday nighttime Boy Scouts supper and party was great success. It was attended by over thirty of the Boy Scouts and their invited friends who met at the Clubhouse at 8 o'clock sharp. A very fine supper had been gotten up for us by some of the ladies of the Scout Council to which everybody did ample justice, and say, it was good. "a
 The large room of the Scout head quarters was very prettily decorated with flags and bunting; there were two large tables along both sides of the room which seated the whole crowd. The tables were very pretty with candela- brnm at each end and very pretty paper napkins with.red, white and blue flags on them, were folded very tastily. The supper was all you could ask for and was nearly all gone when everyone had their fill
 After supper the party visited and listened to some photograph records, some games were enjoyed and the happy company broke up with rousing cheer for the ladies who had done SO much to give us supper and good time that we will not forget very soon, and vii m ake us better scouts, and when we are too old be Boy Scouts we can look back and see the good times that we had when we belonged to that order and we will also remember the ladies who were so kind as to give us those good times.

TELEPHONE REDUCTIONS
Private Line Rate Cut Down $6 Year
 in Canaan

Private Line Rate Cut Down S6 Year
 in Canaan.
 Residents in Canaan will be pleased to learn of the rate reduction officially an- nounced today by the Southern New England Telephone Company, whereby, dating from April 1st, the rate for single line residence telephone service in the Canaan Exchange will be reduced $6 per year. The Company's object in making this reduction is to make more general the use of single llne residence tele- phone service. The plan, if successful, will result in the improvement of the service in general.
 Announcements of the proposed rate reduction are being mailed by the tele- phone company to subscribers in Can- aan in order that they may arrange for single line service prior to Feb. 28th, on which date the April issue of the tele- phone directory goes to the printer. By taking advantage of the suggestion that they sign for this service immediately residents of Canaan will be enabled to have their names and new single line numbers appear in the next issue of the telephone company's directory.
 It is the belief of the telephone com pany. as it was stated today, that a large number of the telephone users in Canaan and many who have not as yet signed for telephone service will take advantage of this decided reduction in the cost of this highest>grade of service and have private lines installed In ex- pectation of this result, the telephone company has already placed it's local wire facilities in condition that will insure the most satisfactory handling of private line growth.

WILLIMANTIC BALD-HEADS
Geo. Hinman Will Advise Them Against < Making Mistake.

Geo. Hinman Will Advise Them Against Making Mistake.
 It is stated that movement is on foot Tn Willimantic to organize a bald-head club in that town that the selectmen, all of whom are bald-headed, will do- nate the use of the town hall for an or ganization meeting that a local bald headed clergyman will bc the chaplain, and that George E. Hinman will be the clubs legal adviser.
 The information that George K. Hin man is to be counsel for the proposed or ganization will be a sufficient assurance to the members of the original and only real hairless-pated organization-the Bald Head Club of America-whose or ganization banquet, held in November, attracted attention all over the country. and received whole pages of newspaper publicity in the news, illustrated and editorial columns of the great daihes of New York, Philadelphia, Boston and other cities. Mir. Hinman may be de- pended upon to advise the promoters of the proposed Willimantic club, that their project contemplates what is vir- tually infringement and can be only an imitation, and that the obvious course for the Willimantic bald-heads to pur sue is to first affiliate with the original organization whose charter membership includes Lieutenant-G Governor JTngier, Tax Commissioner Corbin, Deputy Comptroller Bissell and other dignitar- ies from all parts of the state and New England.
 The name of George E. Hinman him. self is on the eligible list of the B. Fl. O. of A, aud he is expected to meke 4 minute speech at the second ahnhal bah. quet, W hich will be held this year at the Garfield, Canaan, Oct, l6, when the most imposing aggregation of polished domes ever assembled beneath one roof will fill the oapacious dining halls of Landlord Bakers caravansary, and the most mellifluous flow of polished oratory will follow the most elaborate feast ever set before a festive assemblage in this section of New England.
 Mr. Hinman as a capable legal ad- wiser will see at once the wisdom of ad- vising the Willimantic bald-heads to avoid complications and escape the odium of counterfeiting, by first joining the B. H. O. of A. and obtaining char. ter and territorial rights, and thus in- sure the establishment of harmonious inter-club relations that will promote and perpetuate the interests of the en- tire fraternity of the shiny dome. The Willimantic bald heads are fortunate in having such competent counsel to pre-. vent them from making a bad mistake at the very beginning.

Little Bits About Miss Shaw.

Dr. Anna Shaw is a self-made woman Like the great Lincoln, she too lived in log cabin. She learned to read from the old newspapers pasted on the logs, and because she would run away to the woods and stay all day with a book to read, her father called her ''the one black sheep of the family"
 Dr. Shaw's house, Aluwick Lodge, is original The front is the kitchen. so that the maids may see the passers. by.
 The rear looks out on boulders and trees that are more interesting to Miss Shaw.
 Dr. Shaw was the first woman to preach ill Berlin, Amsterdam and Eng land as an ordained minister. At the International Convention of the Wom- ans Suffrage Alliance, held in Sweden, summer of 1911. the entire assemblage rose as she entered, in honor of her presen ce.
 Being self-made woman, Dr. Shaw encountered hardships, the usual injus- tice, predjudice and big and little hin- drances-that the world uses to bar, if possible, another's advancement, In spite of them all she has won out and now, the world that once would hinder, honors. her.
 The Itinerary of this great woman since Feb. 1st is astonishing. In Louis vile, Ky, Feb. 3 and 8; Feb. 5, St. Louis Feb. 2, Omaha, and so on through the west from Topeka, Kan, back to New York City, then on to Trenton, N. J. Feb. 18. Last week in New Milford, this week Feb. 2Sth at ye old town of Canaan. Dr. Shaw will stop at the hotel. This has been her preference over that of private enter tainment during the whole of her itiner- ary. PRES. c. E. F. l..
