PROVIDENCE sent THE
WAR To PUNISH EUROPE
PURPOSE is TO RESTORE RELI-
GIoUS FERVoR, FATHER
RABEYRoLLE BELIEVES

That the great war now raging in
Europe is visitation of divine provi-
dence is the firm belief of Rev. Father
Adrian Rabeyrolle, pastor of the
Church of the Immaculate Conception
who has just returned from lengthy
visit in his old home in France. Faith
er Rabeyrolle gave an interesting ac.
count of his observations of the war,
at meeting Of the Las Vegas council
of the Knights of Columbus last night.
The priest declared that the various
countries of Europe, which have en-
Jo7ed a period of unprecedented pros
perity and advancement along mate
rial lines, of late years have become
materialistic in their beliefs, aban-
doning the God of their founders, and
seeking only worldly advancement to
the neglect or ridicule of spiritual pro-
gress.
Father Rabeyrolle said he believed
the war, with it's consequent suffer
ing, would serve to bring these nations
back to the service of God. In France.
the priest declared, the churches are
filled with people praying for peace,
and religious spirit is being awak-
ened all over the country.
Father Rabeyrolle gave an interest.
Ing account of the events leading up
TO the war. He said his papers as a
United States citizen would have
proved of no assistance to him in
avoiding military service, because he
1ailed, when applying for naturaliza-
uon here, to ask permission of his ma
tive country to do so. Father Rabey.
rcile said when he found that he would
be called out with his assigned reo;.
ment, which was scheduled to eo
ABOUT 20 or 80 days after the declara-
ton Of war, he made up his mind NOT

IN FAVOR OF MUNICIPAL
BUILDING FOR MILFORD

Report of citizens meeting held on
Monday evening, April goth, in Armory
Hall, to consider and determine if the
town of Milford should have a building
for municipal purposes erected by the
Town Council.
The meeting was called to order by
Thomas A. Kirby. president of Town
Council, and Charles Barker was elected
chairman and John S. Horton secretary
of the meeting.
President Kirby addressed the meeting
giving the statistics of the standing of
the town, and setting forth the need by
the firemen, and other officers of the
town for a suitable place to house the
various equipment and property of the
town, and for its officials to meet and
transact the business of the town.
Others speakers followed as named,
and each one spoke in favor of the
building.
James F. Anderson brought out the
present conditions of the firemen, their
faithfulness in time of fire, and their
need of more consideration at the hands
of the public.
DR.. G. Layton Grier brought out ques-
lions and statistics showing that the
building would be profitable investment
for the town, and that the town had
been very fortunate in the past and
showed what a loss might occur should
a fire wipe out any of the industries
employing labor and putting money in
circulation, and urging the people to
get behind and make the building an
assured thing.
Chairman Barker took the floor and
addressed the people present advocating
the proposed building and doing more
for the firemen. He was followed by
| George H. Hall who favored the building
and the laying of an increased special
rate to help defray the expense of the
building that it might be built and paid
for in 1914
He was followed by George Wilson
who endorsed the ideas of the previous
speakers, and added his voice toward
the project.
Their being no speakers to oppose the
proposed building, motion was made by
/ Mr.. Anderson and seconded, as follows :
That the town needed a municipal
building, and that the present Town
Council be and are hereby authorized
to build municipal building for the use
of the firemen and the town officers,
4 and the property of the town, Ton site
to be hereinafter decided and that the
said Town Council should lay a special
additional tax of fifteen cents per $1,000 90
above the rate for general funds, to en-
able them to build the building and pay
/ for same in 1914.
The chairman called for a rising vote
which resulted as follows: In favor of
the motion AZ votes; opposed 4 votes.
The majority in favor of said motion
being 80, it was declared carried.
After which John w. Herring addressed
the meeting and requested that the
people be consulted as to the site.
On motion of Mr.. Grier the meeting
adjourned.

The BOY SCOUT PLAY
NEXT WEDNESDAY night

Next Wednesday night, April 10Th.
the Bow Scouts of Milford will give a
play, The Boy Scouts. at Armory
Hail. They and their scout masters are
working hard. under the direction of
Prof. S c. deSilva, to make this a sue
cessfu entertainment. Successful not
only in atfording amusement, but also in
the far larger sense of interesting all
more intimately in the Scout organiza-
ton. The boys deserve and need YOUR
interest. They need to know that the
entire community is for them, even if
they do not always succeed in living up
to the high spirit of the scout law. 1t
is so easy to criticise, but no one who
understands the deep significance of this
world wide. stupendOus attempt to
harness all the spare energy of all the
boys in creation and turn it into useful
channels" can long withhold cordially
backing an attempt in process OF actual
accomplishment.
After the great fire in Bangor, Maine,
the Scouts of that city, on the request
of the mayor, turned out in full force
and helped the police guard the house
hold goods piled in front of the burned
houses. The Boy Scouts of Chicago.
under the guidance of experts OF the
Park Department, have declared war on
all tree-destroying insects, and in Cham
bersburg, Pa, they have opened hostil-
tiles upon the mosquito. In Denver,
Colorado, a certain number of Scouts are
daily detailed to lead blind people to and
from the public reading room for the
blind. In Glen Falls. N. Y, the mayor
is a Scout official and Scout meetings
are held in City Hall. When the mayor
was once asked if this did not interior
with his official duties, replied: Il con
slider this work quite as important to the
city's welfare as any of my official
duties. And so on through an endless
list.
Our boys are doing their good turns
too. You may not know that they are
but just the same the work that makes
for the development of strong men Is
going forward.
So come out next Wednesday night
and see the Milford Scouts in a rea
Scout play, and see Miss Della Hall. Miss
Pauline Abbott and Miss Ruth Phillips

Wanted.

LEST We FORGET REMEMBER THIS.

In all communities there are men who
cry-out bitterly against those who pa
tronize mail order houses, but the fol-
lowing incident is a fine silencer of that
particular class when making complaint
1t is said that a farmer who was carry
ing an express package from a city mail
order house, was accosted by a local mer-
chant why didn't you buy that bill of
goods from me- | could have saved you
the express, and besides, you would have
been patronizing a home store, which
helps pay the taxes and build up this To-
cality." With characteristic frankness,
the farmer asked why didn't you pat
ronize your home paper and advertise
read it and didn't know you had the
goods have here, nor do ever see your
name in the paper inviting one to come
to your store. The successful merchants
now all advertise, and those who are get
ting the best results are the advertisers
who change their advertisements each
week. and state actual facts as to what
they offer to the public There is no secret
about advertising; just simply talk to
the people through the advertisement.

your store. That's all there is to adver

"NeP' Swain, one of the best known
men of lower Delaware, died at his

The deceased was well known in political
circles. He was a Republican and all
his life had worked hard for the success
Of the party. His activity earned for
him the title of the War Horse Of
Sussex" and he devoted a great deal
of his time to the cause. He was a
Regular" and was a bitter opponent
of the Union Republican faction. Mr..
Swain was nominated as United States
marshall for the district of Delaware
early in 1912 by President Taft. but the

THE BOY SCOUTS.

A Scout does not run away or call for
help when an accident occurs. He de-
votes all his strength and energy to as
sisting those who are in need. If per-
son has been cut he uses his first-aid
knowledge in stopping the flow of blood,
gently and carefully binds up the wound,
then, if necessary, he seeks other assist
ance. If a person has been burned his
knowledge tells him how to alleviate the
suffering. If anyone should be dragged
from the water unconscious a Scout at
once sets to work to restore respiration
and circulation. He knows that not a
minute can be lost. A Scout is kind to
everything that lives. He knows that
horses. dogs and cats have their rights,
and he respects them. A Scout prides
himself upon doing kind deeds and no day
in his life is complete unless he has been
of aid to some person. A Scout is quick
of eye, quick of hearing, and his mus
cles are well developed. In other words,
a Scout is natural, and the better Scout
the further away he is from the artl-
fetal. r Boy Scout Diary.
