PRESTON CITY GRANGE
 HAD FEATURE NIGHT.
Left Handed Strawberry Supper Was
 Its Big Event.

us Dig Event.
 Preston City was certainly on the map Tuesday evening of this week for the majority of the patrons anG their friends throughout the country side gathered there to enjoy a left handed strawberry supper. Norwich grange was represented by a 'busload of 34, including such notables as Wor- thy Master Jewett and wife, Pomona Lecturer Mrs. Maud Bliss Judge and Mrs. John H. Barnes, pr. Kinkead MT. and Mrs. C. A. Gager. Bozrah was upheld by c. B. Davis and family and MT Barber. Ralph Wheeler and Farian York represented North Ston- ington. MT. Lucas came from Poque- tanuck, and there were many others who escaped the eye of the press com mittee. Quite few prospective gran gers were interspersed in the crowd among whom were Harold Robbins Grant Durant, Mrs. DOrman, Clifton DawIey, Charles H. Bennett and fam fly, and many more who joined in, made merry, and on leaving voiced the sentiment that, they would like to continue the pleasant associations by becoming a member and enjoying ev- cry meeting.
 The first tables were filled at 6.30. Some sailed through the entire course without hitting a snag, while others were not so successful and were re- Heyed of a nickel every time the ac- tivity of the right hand came under the notice of the spies.
 After the tables were cleared, an hour of music, fun and good fellowship was spent and Worthy Lecturer Barnes called on the following to re- spond as indicated: A piano solo by Ruth Richardson was followed by a talk by k. C. Jewett. MT. Jewett gave some good thoughts about better en- forcement of guideboard laws, nam ing of highways and farms and thereby giving more distinctOess to the voca- tion of farming and to the farmers environment.
 son, c. B. Davis, master of Bozrah grange, responded in a pleasant remi- niscent vein. A vocal solo by Mrs. J. M. Richardson was followed by pr. Ktnkead, who did so well on his piano solo that he was forced to return after prolonged applause and rendered that beautiful classic Sympathy, much to the amusement of all. Judge Barnes followed the dentist and limbered up his wit His Honor elucidated on na- lures give and take method of fertil- iZation of plants through the medium of bugs and bees, using 1t as an illus tration to show that he gave a quarter and took a good appeaser of the cray ings of the inner man. The judge is glad that he is a. granger and also, by the way, that his wife and he are on friendly terms.
 John Peckham gave solo, and Mr. Gager was next called upon and re- spOnded briefly. The programme con- tinued with solo, Miss Josephine Hollo- well; recitation, Zyhpha Barnes: re- marks, Bro. Redwood; solo, Hattie Bennett. Bro. Potter when called upon joined Mrs. Bliss conspiracy gainst Lecturer Barnes.
 Mrs. Bliss was awarded the prize, which seemed to answer best as a body guard, for being the most adept at using the left hand.
 And then came the end of a per feet evening. Bro. A. D. Zabrisl1ie was somewhat chagrined to find that his horse did not want his company home, as it had gone on and left him.

FRECKLES
Don't Hide Them With Veil; Remove Then. With the Othine Prescription.

This prescription for the removal of freckles was written by a prominent physician and is usually so successful in removing freckles and giving a clear, beautiful complexion that 1t is sold by druggists under guarantee to refund the money if it fails.
 Don't hide your freckles under a veil; get an ounce of othine and re- move them. Even the first few ap- plications should show a wonderful in1- provement, some of the lighter freckles vanishing entirely.
 Be sure to ask the druggist for the double strength othine; it is this that is sold on the money back guarantee.

EXPECT STATE FARM TO
 DEVELOP STRONG ARGUMENT
In Favor of This Method of Care of
 Inebriates.

The current issue of the Connecticut Citizen says:
 The state farm for inebriates will be tried out in a small way for the next two years at the Gallup farm owned by the State Hospital for the Insane near Norwich. About fifty men will be taken in hand and when their quarters are arranged will be set to work at such jobs as are avail able. This is not a permanent ar rangement but was all that could be worked out this year. and will give a test of the workableness of the scheme. Superintendent H. NJ. Pol lock will have charge and we are sure that with his great interest in the Farm project he will work out the de- tails in such a way that in 1917 we will have strong arguments for the permanent institution on a large scale at some other point Keep up the ed ucation on this project and it is bound to come.
