Town Clerk Charles S. He1brook has recently completed a compilation of the debt of the twelve school districts of the town when they were consol- dated last July, which shows that the districts, two, the Central district and Town street. showed no debt at all, while Occum, West Chelsea and We quonnoc had the largest debt in the order named.
 During the year since July 1st last the sum of $1.000 has been paid off on the Weuonnoc district debt.
 The figures were not gotten together without some effort on the part of the town clerk, as some of the districts hardly knew what their real debt was, it is understood, but the list has been verified by the town clerk who called upon the holders of all the notes and satisfied himself that the list given is correct It is probable that arrange ments will soon be made by which the entire school debt will be taken by one financial institution by making the necessary shifts from present holdings to make this change.
 District Debts Shown.
 The following is the town clerks list of the school debt on July 1st, 1912:
 Central District-None.
 West Cheisea-$15 900. demand note, at five per cent, at Chelsea Savings bank.

FLOWER MISSION DAY.
Local w. c. T. U. Will Observe the
 Date Later in the Month.

Members of the local W. c. T. U. remembered with interest that Monday was Flower Mission day observed in honor of Jennie Casseday's birthday servance of it by the gift of flowers when they visit where these will bring cheer and brightness.
 Jennie Casseday came to bless the little home in Louisville, Kentucky in 1S40. and her early childhood of ex- some. gave no hint, not the fafntest indication of the blow that was to fall in youth with cruel force, cruel meaning. Among the publications regularly finding their way to her home was the New York Observer. Into it late in 1889 crept the story of Roxbury girl teaching in Boston. and this story sank deep into her parefled heart as the welcome rains of the late summer sing into the parched and fevered earth. The great waste of flowers. noted by the Boston teacher as she daily travelled to and from school she resolved should find their way into the darkened corners of the crowded city that knew little of na- tures royal gifts. This sweet teach er," some pen wrote, fell into the habit of carrying from Roxbury a bas ket of flowers at the end of the week and giving them to the ragged chil- dren whom she met
 Sympathetic hearts and willing hands were quick to respond to the call from this sick bed of Jennie Cas- seday, and thus the Louisville Flow CT Mission came into being, Four years this beautiful Mission had been in operation when the attention of the sainted Frances E, Willard was drawn to the noble work and the yet nebier leader. A visit was arranged and out of it grew the plans that placed Jen- nie Casseday at the head of the Flow CT Mission department of the national w, c. r. U. for the remaining years of her life from 1882 to 1898.
 Someone has written. That Miss Casseday's life of self forgetful service left an indeiible impress on the life of Louisville is evidenced by the beau tiful monument erected to her mem ory by the school children bearing the inscription:
 Thou in our wonder and astonish-
 nent,
 Hast built myself a lifelong monu
 ment-
 Mrs. Leila M, Sewau of Boston is the national officer now and Miss Mary Day of Colchester is state and New London county representative.
 This work Is carried on the year round and many have been rescued from ruin and degredation by 8. few flowers tied with white ribbon and some appropriate verse of Scripture presented in a kind way or other helpful service as the occasion de- ma nded.

corresponding addition te the pay of the circuit judges.
 The work of the lesser judges Is arduous and exacting to a degree. They have an extensive jurisdiction and their docket IS generally crowd ed. It does not seem reasonable that a circuit judge should receive less than half the salary of justice of the supreme court.
 Judges of the supreme court of New York receive Ii, ,500 a year and mem bers of the Philippine supreme court s10,00a. Only men of ability and rep utation. leaders of the bar in fact. are selected for the federal circuit court Judge Moves was an authority and writer on the law of railroad corpor- ations when he was appointed. He has been an industrious and capable Judge. Congress at an early oppor- tunity should make the salary of cir cult and. also of district judges (the latter now receive s6,00e) adequate to the work and responsibility of their positions.-New York Sun.

ELKs' JOINT PICNIC,
New London and Norwich Lodges Wilt
 Discuss Plans for Outing.

A joint picnic is proposed for New London and Norwich lodges of Eiks. Annrally each lodge holds picnic and at each picnic there are always visitors from the other lodge so this year it was suggested that the lodges combine on 8 more elaborate and more satisfactory scale than either lodge could attempt alone,
 The New London lodge has appoint ed a committee, of which Leonard T. Saunders is chairman. to confer with a committee from Norwich lodge. If it is decided to have joint picnic, probably some spot between the two cities and accessible from both will be selected.
