WELLINGTON.

At the annual meeting of the Sun day school Chauncey F. Reed was re- elected Supt. Mrs. Annie A. Preston, Asst. Supt. ; Dea. F. W. Pratt, Sec. George A. Oosgrove, Treas. Miss Emma F. Robbins, Organist; Floyd Ayers, Librarian.
 A good many are ailing, including Mrs. Gardiner and Mrs. Brown who was acutely i'll for a short time. Baby Eugene Pratt, son of Harold W. Pratt, is seriously ill of infantile complications. Two of the children of Hubbard Parker are absent from Sunday school on account of whoop- ing cough.
 At the annual meeting of the Ladies aid society the old board of officers were unanimously elected: President, Mrs Annie A. Preston, V. P. Mrs. Earl W. Darrow, secretary, Mrs Geo. V. Smith; treasurer, Miss Dante Palmer; chairman of sewing committee, Mrs. Brown; purchasing committee, Mrs. Smith; chairman of missionary committee, Mrs Smith 1; entertainment and musical committee, Miss Cunning and Miss Church.
 The appropriateness and beauty of MT. Darrow's Sunday sermon was remarked upon by many It was from Philippians 3:7 and 1: 21. The interesting class of young people who are contemplating presenting themselves for baptism next Sunday, "Children' Sunday" came before the committee at the parsonage i'm. mediately following the service. There were 73 present at Sunday school on the Hill and 75 at South Willington.
 Mrs. Darrow continues the capabl and efficient superintendent of the primary department of the Sunday school and is arranging and rehear- sing for Children's day, next Sunday the 14th, very elaborate emblatical piece, entitled the Fountain of Life" that promises to be very effective. At the close will come the baptisms and the conservation of infants if any are brought forward. The service will commence at 3 o'clock and there will be no other service Sunday after noon.
 It is unnecessary in this column to go into the details of the sad deat h of poor Robert Kicker at whose burial in the Skunkamug cemetery, Thurs day, in the rain, Pastor Darrow offici- ated. The sadness and pathos of it all has been on every lip. Personally he is recalled as a civil, bright faced youth always about the railroad sta tion, who has often voluntarily brought out the mail, or asked: "Is there something I can do?" We are again reminded of the spontaneous kindness and readiness to respond to an emergency that characterises the this instance the sympathy for the poor mother and the anxiety that all the details of the last services should be carried out as fitting, even to music and flowers, was truly impressive. Edwin o. Carpenter had charge of the funeral That there is a lesson for the whole community is obvious, it is not for one or two alone we take our share and in seeming helpless ness are reminded of James 1st, 9th.

 Nothing but praise has been heard of the production of "Our New Min ister" which was given Wednesday and Thursday evenings at St. Ed wards hall and last night at Memorial hall, Stafford. Large audiences were in attendance each night and that this is the most able amateur cast seen together here seems to be the general verdict. The play was one of Denman Thompson's best, and though the producing royalty was high it was worth it. A bright, moral drama, in New England set ting, with plenty of humor and pathos gave opportunity for the able participants 10 enjoyably entertain their audience. Robert H. Fisk, as the new minister, Thaddeus Strong, made the most of a splendid chance to display fine Christian manliness, and o. H. Moore depicted well the narrow minded old minister, Calvin A bdal. Hannibal Chapman, the req, william, was made an ideal pretendel was Sylvanus Bartlett, an honest Yankee store keeper and postmaster The opinionated old reprobate Obadiah Blurton, was the realistic production of Louis Stevens, ant Michael O'Halloran was quite a favo rite as the good souled altruistic Curtis Ho'ten. Richard w. Ellis as the country detective, Darius Startle, was the clever comedian of the drama and John Sullivan as the returned convict, Lem Ransom, was heartily commended. Arthur Melbourne was Jack Frazier, an escaped convict and William Ladish as Skeezieks, a pro dnct of the New York Bowery, seemed the "real thing.' Miss Mae Hirsch took we'll the part of brave, winsome Nance Ransom, Lem's daughter, and Miss Ruth Dunham was the attrac- tive, devoted sister Esther of the new ,S ScAo ToL name and nature was admirably acted by Mrs. Alice Dimock. Lynch's s orchestra furnished the music and a good sum was realized for the Stafford Boys club, for which object it was given. Michael O'Halloran worked indefatigably to make this play suc- cess, and succeeded admirably.

HARD TIMES IN SERVIA.

The hope that there would be a
sudden boom in trade as soon as the
war was over attracted many work
ers into Servia from the neighboring
lands So many came that the trades
unions were forced to issue a warning
telling men to keep away. In all in
dustries unemployment is exceeding
ly high and in many trades, as for
instance in the timber trade, only a
few days work is done each week. At
the same time the prices of food etc.,
are continually increasing and are
now so to 100 per cent higher than at
normal times. The mass of the peo-
pie are in dire need.
Similar reports reach the Common
wealth office from all over the civil
ized CD world.
Reader, your only hope is in the
early triumph of the international So
cialist party. Are you doing your
share of the prerequisite educational
and organization work? If not, why
not?

FREE EMPLOYMENT
BUREAU.
Jobs at Fifteen Per.


When the capitalist politicians were
out for the municipal salaries, and per
quisites of office, they talked loud and
long about the free employment bu-
reau" that was to be. Cigars and
drinks were freely dispersed-before
election. Yes, we were to have
high old time in Everett-if the right
men" should only be elected. They
were. That is, they were the ones
who said they were all right, and they
ought to know.
Then what did they do?
Well. certain wage-slaves whose
business it is to dispense the cup that
both cheers and inebriates placed
their names upon the books of the
free employment bureau"
Then the patriots" who don't be-
lieve in "class legislation" said,
mike"
"All you bartenders that we spent
our good hard coin with to get the
Jobs, you mixologists, come through
with SIS or you don't go to work. Get
me?"
And they had to "come through"
lust as though they wore three coats
of paint on the face and silk hose.
Now what do you think of this for
a rank, raw hold-up game?
Some of these wet-goods mechanics
voted for this hold-up the last election.
A number of them have learned better,
and are carrying good Red Cards in
their pockets now.
