The Wurra Wurra Club

1nasmuch as the objection was deem ed insufficient it was disregarded, and the chairman, MT. David Walters, de. clared the meeting open for business and demanded that the roll be called by the secretary, after which the min. utes of the previous meeting were read by the Town Treasurer, Mir. Collin. Then Watson Hardenbergh and Ovid Gillette sang the Opening Ode as a quartet accompanied by nobody on nothing. All this was accomplished quicker than it takes to tell it, and the chair called for business under the regular order.
 Joe Parsons offered motion that in. asmuch as Halloween paid impartial attention to all parts of the village center last Saturday night, the name of Halloween be placed on the honor. ary list of the Club
 Mir. Lansing, the banker, offered an objection, arguing that the attentions of MT. We'en were not impartial, as some of the victims got off a good deal easier than some others. As the motion was not seconded, it died a a'bornin'.
 On motion of Clarence Humphrey the secretary was instructed to forward to Dr. Corwin set of engrossed reso- lutions of reorganization on his friendly relations with the stork. Mir. Parsons jumped up again to move that the stork be placed on the honorary list, but MT. Holsapple objected on the ground that the stork IS not impartial. and that motion flashed in the pan.
 Mayor J. c. Roraback moved that the chair appoint q committee of five to confer with the officials of the trolley road with view of inducing the con- pany to issue cut-rate tickets between Canaan and Ashley Falls, in view of the prospective increase in the traffic between those points. The motion was seconded by ex Mayor Rowe. and unan. imously passed. The chair appoint ed as such committee Messrs. Rorabark, Rowe, Collin, Lansing and Henry Scutt, who took the next car to Ashley Falls to sec if the officials were there. They were escorted by so many other members that the meeting lacked quorum when the rush was over, and there was nothing left to do but ad- journ. So they adjourned.

He must do what he is certain is to serve the nation best, He's in earnest. he is not dilettante But it takes lot of courage when he has to meet the test For his tiancee is openly an Anti. Let us hope that one or t'other may in time u convert be: Though no tragedy will stir modern Dante, If fellow who's suffragist can never quite agree
 With wife who's quite consistently an Anti.

Some Queer Herformanees S.

Some of these "revelations" in the "New Haven" trial in New York carry conviction with them, but it's the con. viction that Il lot of fooliShness is mixed in the attempt of the government to drag high minded men into discredit. Think of the sin of securing the Meri- den 6 Cromwell road It was failure and joke. It never paid. aud, if Heaton Robertson was unwilling to have it known that he owned it nobody can seriously blame h.m. Nobody wanted 1t.
 This road begins and ends in the state of Connecticut. These prosecu. tions are made on the assumption that the general government can regulate "commerce between the states" But this petty road is not in two states. Neither is that other great arterial system, commonly known as the Col. chester road, That insignificant line of n few miles connects the town it is named after with the old Air Line. " But its absorption" turns up as an offence against the United States.
 Nor is that all. Combinations made before the Sherman act was passed are dragged in as offences against it. It's all interesting and instructive. Hart ford Courant.

SUFFRAGE LOS ES.

Woman Suffrage gets a setback in New York, Massachusetts and Pennsyl- vania. But the women are not dismay- ed nor discouraged. They have exper- fenced "sets- backs" too often and too numerous for that. Mrs. Carlos K. Stoddard, president of the New Haven Equal Franchise League, interviewed by the Journal. Courier, said:
 'SThe results are by no means dis couraging to the suffragists. No state yet, with the exception of Arizona, has granted suffrage to it's women when it was tested at the polls for the first time. It has taken repeated referendums, often many, before suffrage finally won out. It would have been considered most extraordinary if we had got one of the eastern states at this first trial, al- though we did have some hopes for New York. Six months ago nobody would have dared hope that New York might be won, but sInce that time, dur ing the last few months, there has been such remarkable campaign and such untiring efforts put forth by the suf- frage workers that success at the polls did seem possible, if not probable"

Written for The News A Halloween Spook.

The morning after Halloween a sheeted figure was discovered on road side leading to the village, which an in- vestigation proved to be the skull of a beef critter stuck up on a pole, the sheet being draped about the bony face and falling in folds to the ground con. cealing the pole. Doubtless someone was familiar with that page in Samuel Lovers Handy Andy, where a horse's skull is similarly treated by those who love a joke, and placed by the roadside to alright the passerby, Placed in the broken cavity of the bony nose of the Canaan spook was found. typewritten on pale blue paper, the following poem of skulltur, author unknown.
 OH YOU BoNEHEAD. Where did you come from, bonehead
 queeT2
 Out of pasture lot into here. Where did you leave your lower jaw? It lay in the pasture, the last I saw. What has become of your big eye lamps They mouldered away in the dews and
 damps.
 And where. oh where are your long
 loose ears ?
 They're lost in a silence where nothing
 hears. ... ....... What makes your teeth such an awful
 size?
 Because they grew so, half surmise. Say old bonehead, what broke your nose? Why something hit it, don't you SUD-
 pose.
 Who gave you that crack on your fore
 head bare?
 For all know, it was always there. How, without tongue can you talk so
 well?
 That's a dead secret, must not tell. Say, dry bones, did you use to drink ? Some thirty gallons day, think. Now bony that is not true, you know. Had you seen my paunch you'd believe
 it though.
 Where is the rest of you, old bonehead? Pm scattered all over since I've been
 dead.
 What became of your poor old hide? How can tell, when l up and died! What did you die of, anyway? Twas all so sudden, couldn't say. Oh bouehead, where did your spirit go ? My brother bonehead, sometime you'll
 know.

 tons. On the New Haven road the
 volume of transactions measured
 either by tons moved, passengers

 au increase from 1903 to 1914 of

 These comparisons are interesting as we'll as significant. They show that ho yyever mu'h the transportation facili- ties of the railroads have increased, the general business of the country has more than kept pace with them. and today the enlarged- shipping facilities are inadequate to handle the products of the mills, mines and farms of the country.

near the foot of the list, having only l2,5S2 miles. Only five other states have n smaller mileage than this Arizona, Delaware, Rhode Island Utah and Wyoming. Nevada comes closest to having the same mileage as Connect. icut, with total of l2,75l miles. Massachusetts has l7,2i2 miles, New Hampshire l5, ll6 miles. Vermont l5.. 0S2 miles, Maine 20, 52S miles and Rhode Island 2,l2l miles. With the, exception of Rhode Island, therefore, Connecticut has less mileage than any other stato in this section. Rhode Island has the smallest amount of any state in the union.
 In Connecticut tho percentage of sur. faced roads is 26. 2. In this regard the state stands seventh in the list of states. Rhode Island has the largest percent. age, over half of its roads being sur faced The percentage is 5S.s.
 Ten other states built fewer miles of state and state.aid roads in 1914 than did Connecticut The total in this. state was l99 miles. Here again Rhode Island is last on the list. It built two miles. The figures of only twenty seven states are given in this list, which puts Connecticut about halfway down the list.
 When it comes to the total mileage of state and state.aid roads built to January 1, 1915, Connecticut makes better showing, standing tenth in list of twenty-seven states. and having total of 1, 2s2 miles.
 Connecticut stands eight in list of eighteen states in the number of miles of roads maintained with state aid dur ing 1914, when l,l25 miles were 50 maintained.
 The table of the distribution of ex- penditures under state control for the year 1914 shows that Connecticut spent $l, BOT, 3Sl from the state and S265, l25 from local units and s2,2lA, 276 for work done solely at the expense of the state. In the contribution from state funds it stands seventh in the list and in the amount expended, solely to the expense of the state, sixth.
 The figures for thirty. nine states show that to January |, 1915, S2ll,- S59, l63 hnd heen expended for roads. With this money improved roads to the extent of 35,4 miles had been con- structed.
