In sense the work of a school may
be said to be definitely gagged by the
number and quality of its graduates
VIC know the quality and standard have
been kent up and the number gradual

Another point in which the school

money to pay the rent on gymnasium

percentage Of the number of students

that is, the percentage who entered in
1911 and graduate in 1915 is the

Thanksgiving 1915

Lord, on this day we humbly bow the knee
Too long held stiff in pride, and raise to Thee
Our unaccustomed voices in a prayer
Of thanks for glories granted us to see.
Amidst world of strife Thy angel, Peace,
Has lowered DER us on benignant wing,
Sheltring us from the evil-venomed sting
Of red destruction, seeming without cease.
Amidst a world of famine all our fields
Have blossomed forth with never bounded
yields;
While others ply the sword in mad despair,
Our husbandman the cleaning cycle yields.
And while the children of our brothers weep
For absent fathers, mothers worn with woe,
Our little tots but JOY and comfort know
As in the eve we cradle them to sleep.
Thy mercies, Lord, encompass us around,
Thy blessings on our every side abound,
And by Thy graciousness made free from
care,
This day we set aside Thy praise to sound
And as Thy face toward us is kindly bent,
We mingle with our thanks this single plea;
Look down upon our fellows DER the sea,
Have mercy, Lord, and ease their punishment.

Movement in New Hampshire Along

There is a movement on foot in New
Hampshire for the propagation of the
partridge. 1t is said that the scheme
is genuine scientific effort which is
being carried on in other places. The
plan is to secure tracts of land and en-
circle them with wire fences to keep
out the enemies of the bird. Consider
able enthusiasm has been aroused over
the project, and undoubtedly the ex-
pertinent will be made. Some think
that quail could also be introduced into
the southern counties of the state, but
this seems doubtful to others. Often
focks of quail have been noticed in
Hinsdale and Winchester during the
summer, but they have never been
known to survive a winter. The hunt

dollars to the state treasury, however

line will be received with entire salts

in the game laws this year. There is
no open season on grey squirrels, which
by the way, are about as numerous as
for many years, and the nonresident
hunters license now costs $l5, instead
of $40.

Arthur Des Jardines, known more gen
orally as Arthur Gardner, head lineman of
the Springfield Street Railway Co., of
Springfield, Mass, who was severely in
jured in the automobile accident on the
Guilford road Wednesday noon, Sept

in which he and his companion were so
seriously injured occurred when the axle
broke or before. He replied that he sup
posed that it happened when the axle
broke, but that he could not say as he
was asleep.

story told by DR., Powers of Holyolle
Mass, who picked up one of the men and
brought him to the hospital. The physi
clan claimed that the men had been
thrown out before the axle broke and
were being carried in the machine they
had hired in Springfield when the axle

Hoods Sarsaparilla surely and eff
fectively removes scrofula, boils and
other blood diseases because it drives
out Of the blood all the humors that
cause these diseases. They cannot be
successfully treated in any other way.
External applications for their re-

because they cannot drive out the
impurities that are in the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
rich blood, perfects the digestion, and
builds up the whole system. The skin
becomes smooth, clean and healthy.
This great blood remedy has stood the

Statement on Last Show - Decrease
from 1914 Caused by Weather.

The officials of the Valley Fair asso.

figures for the thirtieth annual show.
The total attendance for the three
days was 1887; the paid attendance
1884. While these figures show a
falling off of approximately 5000
from last year, fair officials are of the
opinion that the decrease was wholly
due to the rain of Tuesday, Sept. 81,
which necessitated one days postpone,
ment, and the rain of Friday, Sept. "a,
which materially cut down the attend
ance on that day. The figures by days

In speaking of his loss Mr.. Barber
said: "There are several ways to look
at the question of my loss. The town

that land. If l built one now | would

$4,000. With $4,000 insurance that
would leave me $4,000 worse off than

Fire Chief Harvey w. Sanders said
after the worst of the fire was over
that morning that it was the most diff
ficult fire to handle since he had been
a member of the department. He said
that while danger of further spread
was not so great as on the occasion of
the big fire on Flat street on election
night, 1914, the latter was far sim
pier proposition than this one.

Several Firemen Fall.

For the third time in not quite year
the horses in Mosher G. fuckers stable
have been taken out of the stable be-
cause of fire. On election night last
year they were turned loose in a hur-
ry. On the evening the blacksmith
shop of L. NJ. Angler caught fire some
of them were led out and Saturday
they were turned loose for the last
time from that particular stable. Some
one remarked that they had had prac-
tice enough to leave like fire horses
answering an alarm. One of the
horses which disappeared to the north
made wild dash back down the Main
street hill after crowd had assem-
bled. He lost his footing on the slip
perry pavement and rolled completely
over, but did not seem to be hurt.
A squad of fremen were working
close up to the doorway of DOnOghue S
restaurant with a line of hose when
the greater portion of the roof fell in
without warning The men were forced
back by the rush of fire and cinders
and fell down. The hose got away from
them, the tip of the nozzle was dam
aged and the length next to the nozzle
was cut open. The hose squirmed on the
pavement like huge serpent, scatter
| ing the spectators in all directions, and
lit was with some difficulty that the
fremen regained possession of the noz
