MT Wilson H. Lee. of New Haven. whose admirable address on Agriculture was the post-prandial feature of the re- cent brotherhood supper in the Parish House, writes, ill a personal letter:
 II don't know when l have enjoyed a visit more than to Canaan. It was a pleasure to meet so many New Englano men of the type that I knew in my boyhood; and the cordial reception ] received, can assure yCu, was most heartily appreciated.
 "I appreciated the reference, in The News, to the meeting of the Wurra Wurra Club. It goes without saying that l was somewhat troubled not to have been elected an honorary member of that organization. trust that the objections will be overcome at some future meeting and that I may be elected a member, even though it be by a small majority"

Camp Fire Girls Meet.

Yesterday afternoon both groups of the local Camp Fire Girls were splen- didly entertained by Miss Ella Brown in her studio at her delightful home, and had their first opportunity to hold a council fire ceremony around an open fire. They went through their folk dances, with phonograph records, and were treated to ice cream and cake by Miss Brown. They also received their honor beads.
 This year, because of inability to secure suitable hall, the two groups are meeting separately, with their re- spective guardians-the Hikis with their guardian every week, at her home; the Nishimis at the homes of their various friends who are suffi- ciently interested in the organize tion to offer the use of their homes occa- sionally, thus making it possible for the Camp Fire Girls to continue their work and exercises.

The Extension School.

From a letter sent out by W. l.. Pentecost, concerning the extension school at Salisbury, we quote:
 "Your attention is called to the Extension School to be conducted by the Connecticut Agricultural College in Salisbury on February 1st to 4th, 1916. This school includes course in soils and crops, dairy husbandry, and fruit growing. The sessions will com- mence each morning at 9 a. m. and close at D. m. There is no charge for this school as the small local ex- penses are being defrayed by this Asso- citation.
 "These Extension Schools have been very successful in other purts of the country, and it is generally agreed that they are the most important of the many departments of the Extension work. The courses are simple, but practical, and adapted as far as possi- ble to cover local needs. We feel sure that those who attend will be greatly benefited and that there Is no way in which anyone interested in agriculture can spend his time to better advantage than in attending the four days session of this school.
 "There is also an interesting course in home making for the women which has met with very favorable recep- tion in other communities. :"

Mrs. Hepburn's Lecture.

Editor News: We have had in Ga naan this season full houses for our Ita and magic maker performances, and we have lacked not good attendance at other forms of amusement, which is all right and proper. Church suppers, food sales, even the movies and the dances all have their rightful place in the community, but for all these things we are asked to pay out our money.
 Friday night of thIs week, January 18th the doors of the Town Hall will be open to the public at little before eight o'clock and everybody is invited, free of cost, to hear a noted and bril- liant speaker give a talk on Woman Suffrage, which as everyone knows, has become of world wide importance as political. civic and economic issue.
 The speaker is a distinguished woman, and wife of a distinguished physician of Hartford. She is the state president of the Woman Suffrage Asso- citation of Connecticut. From the in- tellectual standpoint, no matter what her hearers views may be, it IS rare treat to listen to her. The young people are especially invited to attend this meeting. Mrs Hepburn does not utter dull or commonplace sentence from start to finish of her notable ad- dress to the public and as debater she is unmatched. xxx

Who's Got lem?

Gan any of our readers help out Mr. Howard W. Garter, of Norfolk, with any of the publications mentioned in the following letter?
 II would very much like to secure a copy of No. 15 of 'The Litchfield Hills, a publication which for a time, at least, had its headquarters in Canaan. This number should have appeared about October 1, 1915, and if any of your readers have this number and are willing to spare it, should be glad to know of it, as l would like it to com- plete file.
 "I would also be glad to know if any of your readers have copies of the similar publication which was once published from Norfolk, The Norfolk Chimes, or The Chimes, as it was en- titled later. The State Library at Hart ford would like to complete file of this magazine ana wou much appreciate a set tor its shelves.
 A complete set such publications, as the years rass O.. will be of great interest to mauv VI ho frequent local libraries a, d bounI volumes of them should be found tn e also.
 'The writer has recently had the pleasure of seeing copy of The Nor folk Almanac for the year 1859, which contains lot o, interesting matter about our hill town. This was pub. lished by $. D. Northway Manufactur- ing Co ; and is No. 1, so that it would seem that there were several more in the series.
 "A complete set of these unique pamphlets would certainly be of much interest to some who visit our charming Norfolk library.
 II wonder if any of your readers could supply them?"
