pleasant and profitable. It was a priv
 ilege to have Rev. Mir. Yukl present,
 the rain having prevented his driving
 to Westford as usual. There was an
 interesting session of the Bible school. During the past year the unpleasant
 Sundays have been very few indeed.
 Rev. Arthur Pearley Wedge, special
 religious and moral instructor of U.
 s. Indian schools, writes from Mount
 Pleasant, Mich., asking aid from Connecticut schools for necessary
 equipment for his work Rev. Mir.

 during which time "Pearly,' as an interesting lad, was a member of this
 Sunday school, that will cheerfully
 add it's offering for this work. Rev.
 A. P. Wedge was for several years

 For the grange exhibit the weather was not ideal for large attendance,
 but the town hall, with three long
 tables loaded with autumnal blessings, was a pleasing and interesting sight. At the end of the hall upon the plat form were arranged the crates of
 poultry. For decorations there were stalks of corn, some 1 8 feet tall, from the Schofield farm of course, bundles
 of MT. Smiths wheat in the ear,
 bales of clover, and for color effect
 baskets of fruit and eggs, huge pump kins, squashes, melons, carrots, beets and turnips and ears of yellow corn,
 cabbage, blue and white. cauliflower
 and bouquets of late flowers. The ex- pert and disinterested judge, Prof. Stephens from Storrs, awarded the
 first prize to Seth Schofeld's Family
 exhibit' of over 100 different va rieties. The 50 different varieties from Misses Palmer and Cunning re- ceived second prize for products and arrangement and uniqueness of dis
 play. D. Blakely took the third prize
 for ultry and farm products; George V. Smith, 4th, a large variety, in
 which corn and wheat were proml-
 nent; MT. Ayers, 5th, with Indian runner ducks and basket of eggs, two pounder potatoes and other field and garden vegetables. Mrs. Davis sent
 cranberries and Mrs. DeWolfe a
 beautiful drawn in rug. The display of needle work and fancy articles was
 not as large as last year, those who were to bring exhibits having been de-
 tained by the rain. Looking over tht Iexhibit it was easy to realize that
 stthe farm feeds the world" Ther' is an old saying that there is as mucl difference in folks as there is in an. body, and it was brought to mind b1 ) remarks, many saying "We had noth T ing to bring; the wet weather earl. lin the season killed this and dr. } sIweather ruined that and bugs ate tn lother. Daniel Blakely said, 'pv' 5 no fault to find; every crop had di' tl we'll" And his exhibit. from hick
 ory nuts to poultry, proved his word . l true. Only one can take the frs prize, and because that inevitabl! goes to Seth Schofeld and Seth, Jr.
 is no reason for all the other member . not taking hold of the scheme of al

 there may be an exhibit by the sew 10 ing school and that a corn-growir IT contest may be organized. All the' things stimulate an interest in u rs agricultural welfare of the town, al 'e that is something in which every pc
