 May Attend Conference.
 Rev. G. B. Thurston, pastor of the Methodist church, is making plans to attend the annual session of the New York East conference of Meth odist churches to be held in Brooklyn, N. Y, next week. MT. Thurston has been laid up for several weeks with fractured hip, having sustained the break when he fell on the icy side al Ia from St. Francis hospital, where he was taken after the accident, and he is now able to get about with the aid of crutches.
 MT. Thurston hopes to conduct the Easter services at the church next Sunday morning and he also figures on attending the conference. The Methodists here expect that the conference will return MT. Thurs ton to the pastorate of the local church for another year. The official board gave him a unanimous call several weeks ago and also notified the district superintendent, Rev Elmer A. Dent, DD. of New Haven to use his influence to keep the pastor here. MT. Thurston has been in charge of the church for the past year and has given entire satisfa ction.
 The conference usually keeps a pas ton in a town for two years at peast and it is not likely that the appeal of the Methodists against making a change at this time will be disre- garded.
 Incubator Baby Growing / The little son of Probate Judge and Mrs. George R. Byington who was placed in an incubator at birth on account of it's size and weakness, is now growing satisfactorily and it is believed that he can be raised.
 The infant. which was one of twins, the other dying at birth, weighed but two and three-quarter pounds when born. During the first week the boy lived in the incubator it gained three quarters of a pound. He has not been weighed since. The little fellow seems to be thriving and the prospects of his living are now considered bright.
 pr. J. c. Moody, who is in charge of the case, introduced the incubator idea. It is his first practical cxpeer- fence with the device and it is inter- esting him greatly. Mrs Florence Roberts, the attending nurse, is also novice at the raising of children in incubators, and the results of her first case are naturally pleasing to her. Sewer District Meeting
