COMMUNITY SUNDAY
Local Churches Were We'll Attended,
 But No Records Broken.

On "Everybody-go- o-to-church" Sun. day everybody didn't go to church, but q good many more went than are gen. erally seen there when there is nc special effort made to drag them out. The total number of church attendants last Sunday was not quite equal to that of last years community Sunday, but in every local church the pews were well filled, and the result, as a whole, showed the good results of the efforts put forth by the brotherhoods, and sug gests the advisability of perpctunting the work of urging people to come out and attend divine worship.

HARVESTING ICE
Borden's First Cutting Produced I,228
 Tons of Ice.

The first cutting of ice from the Bor- den pond was completed a few days ago, and a first instalment of 1,22S tons housed in the capacious ice house, of an average thickness of nine inches.
 About 25 men were set at work, when the conditions were right, and the work of marking, cutting and housing these 1900 tons was done in a little more than three days, under the direction of Superintendent Gla, S.
 The weight of the amount of ice stored is arrived at by measurement, the ice averaging 45 cubic feet to the ton.
 It is planned to store about 5000 tons of ice in the Canaan plant ice house each season, making it necessary to cut the pond over three times.
