What The Grange Has Done.

A few years ago the popular concep- who wore tously beard, never put on clean collar and "biled shirt except Sunday, who said "b' gosh" with great frequency, and spat on the floor of his own home-when Mother wasn't look. ing, says the Bridgeport Farmer.
 The farmer of today is very different looking kind of fellow. Of course the rise in price of food products and In land values has put many farmers in more secure position financially, where they can branch out into the graces of life But other agencies have been at work. Prominent among them are the National and subordinate granges, which are now holding their annual convention at Manchester, N. H.
 The annual reports of this organiza- tion make all impressive showing. You hear about cooperation in buying and selling, Legislation secured and advocat- ed, good roads, better country schools, etc. But some of the most notable results are intangible, not to be tabulat- ed in figures. nor set forth in annual specifying.
 One of the best results has been a broader social life for the farm home. Time was when most farmers went to bed every night at eight, or at the worst nine o'clock. It was not so much that they were tired, as that there was not h. ing interesting to make it worth while to keep awake.
 When the granges established 8 pleasanG meeting at the cross roads hall. with congenlal amusements and sGimu- lating discussion, they struck blow at the worst of all obstacles in the way of agricultural advance, the loneliness of the farm.
 Keen observers of country people say they are dressing much better and ap- bearing far heater and more stylish than they were 10 years ago. Social life all ways works that way. If Reuben has got to go down to Grange hall and make a speech, the old flannel shirt won't do.

Donovan Pitches Into Hehson.

1QHuVan FlILneS into F1OD2Ons
 Congressman Jerry Donovan, of Con. necticut, who succeeded Congressman K J. Hill in the Fourth district, is making a record as fighting statesman. One of his latest encounters was with Congress man Hobson. the "hero of the Merri. mac" A Washington despatch to the Courant reports that affair as follows:
 Representative Donovan, of Connecti. cut. having put one over on Speaker Clark the other day, turned his attentlaI to Representative Hobson of Alabama to day, and engaged in wordy battle with the hero of the Merrimao, which at tImet approached near to fsticuffs. The on. counter lasted for some time, and during it's course the word liar was freely used. Fists were shaken, an invitation to "come outside" '" was extended and accepted. and the parties in the affair dc. clared they had washed their hands of each other.
 The trouble started soon after Hobson appeared on tho floor Of the house, after an absence of some days. He approached Donovan and spoke. Immediately Don. ovan took Hobson to task for the chargs Hobson is reported to have made on the
  paign that Donovan was {" filthy bar tenter." Hobson denied that he had made that statement.
 "I have never called anybody filthy, no matter how filthy l might regard them" Hobson says he replied.
 You are liar," retorted Donovan. " You cannot tell the truth if you try, either here or in Alabama"
 Up to this point the participants had been occupying space in front Of tho speakers desk on the floor of the House. Hobson is understood to have invited Donovan to call their differences to the attention of the House and settle them ia parliamentary fashion. This Dono- van declined to do, whereupon Hobson, shaking with rage, demanded that Dono- van come outside to settle this" Dono- van promptly accepted and the antago' nists retired to the lobby.
 Everybody expected to see a rough and tumble fight and the assistant sergeant at-arms, who dragged Representative Murray from the speakers rostrum in tho midst of the excitement last summer, took up strategic position, but the ar gument merely continued. Later, when Hobson tried to secure unanimous con. sent to suspend the business of the House in order to present the petition for na' tion- wide prohibition amendment to the Constitutution, Donovan demanded "the regular order" which took Hobson of his feet
 "That was the gentleman from Con necticut, Mir. Donovan" remarked Hob son angrily. There has been bad blood between Hobson and Donovan since the latter attacked Hobson for absentseism from the sessions Of the House.

THOUGHT THEY WERE MARRIED
Ludicrous Error of an Italian Couple
 from Middletown.

from Middletown.
 Last Monday morning John Ghidis- self and Miss Santura Vercellini of Mid dletown, N. Y, came to Town Clerk Full ler's office in great perplexity of mind. to seek cooperation and comfort from the official, in an embarrassing and unu- snal dilemma.
 Nearly seven mouths before, or on May 26, they had come to Canaan and procur- ed marriage license, and nothing more was heard of 1t. Itwas never returned to the town clerk by any clergyman or justice, anl MT. Fuller finally decided that the couple had changed their minds about being married. or postponed the happy affair indefinitely.
 . Their rre-appearance last Monday, how ever, explained everything. It seems that when they pr 'cured, signed and paid for the license, last spring, they left the town clerks office under the impress slon that they had couformed to every requirement. and that they were duly and truly married. Under that impress sion they ,er went near clergyman or justice of the peace, but returned at once to Middletown aud proceeded to live together as husband and wife. It was only last week that they were in formed by a mutual friend that the pur- chase of license does not fully satisfy the law. and that they were not married at all Whan fha trun sitnat tion WAS inn pressed upon them they lost no time in coming to Canaan to see what could be done about it. MT. Fuller simply gave them duplicate license, and they went married in legal form, and returned home with great load lifted from their minds .......' .

COMMUNITY SUNDAY
Let Everybody in Town Go to Church
 Sunday, January q.

Let Everybody in Town Go to Church
 Sunday, January 4.
 Nestling among the Litchfeld hills in the Housatonic valley are our delightful villages of Canaan. We speak of them as our villages and of this as our home town: and SO It is. and only as we come to realize tine import of that thought will we feel constrained to make 1t what 1t should be. May we not apply this thought to our churches, your churches You may not have looked at them in just that way, but still in the strictest sense of the word they are yours-built for your benefit - these several churches. Their ministers are your ministers. their services are meant to be an inspiration and help to you.
 In all that concerns the uplift of our town the churches are interested. There is nothing that makes for better Can- aan. whether it be intellectual, social, civic, moral or spiritual. in which the churches are not the prime mover. We therefore earnestly urge the good people of Canaan to give more serious attention to the claims of our churches upon their minds and hearts.
 For this reason the joint committee of the Brotherhoods have appointed Janu- ary 4, 1914. as !" Community Church Sunday" with the hope that every cue in the town will make 8 special effort to be present at his or her church that day.
