Progress of the Mission.

The meetings of the nationwide preaching mission are growing in inter- est as they progress, both afternoon (children's) and evening meetings. This afternoon the daily children s meeting will be held, at 3:45, the regu- lar hour. These meetings are unique and of unusual interest, even to the adults who attend.
 Saturday evening there will be no service. Father Mayo will be in charge this evening, and Father Sill tomorrow evening and Sunday evening when the mission will close with exericses that will indicate to considerable degree, the fruits of the weeks work.

Mary Clark Conklin.

Of Miss Mary Clark Conklin, who died ill Salisbury, March 28, friend, "W,'' in the Lakeville Journal, wrote: which she bore with such courage, served to show the hold that she had upon all who knew her Her winning and noble nature had made each one who came in touch with her a friend who longed to testify to the love and sorrow felt when it was known that this sad illness could have but one end. ing.
 'Miss Mamie's" gentleness, gaiety and untiring kindness pervaded every. thing and have made our village store a distinctive place. Strangers coming here speak with wondering admiration of the dainty taste. the exquisite court, esy and we know no praise is too great for Miss Mamie's store.'' There where her ivies are climbing and the sun shines upon the desk where she sat, she will be missed beyond words, and we shall remember how she glorified the round of daily life.
 In the choir of St. Johns Church, her beautiful voice has led the service of song for years. The joyousness and self forgetfulness which were her strong characteristics, vibrated in every tone. Until the illness came, she was always there, making melody. Music was Tn. born in her and was her great delight, and she sang, too, in the Salisbury Choir at the Norfolk Festival each year.

THE MISSION
Christ Church Filled to Hear Father
 Sill Sunday Night.

The nationwide preaching mission, now being held at Christ Church, started Sunday evening under most promising auspices and with gratifying prospects. The church's seating capacity was practically all occupied and the large congregation was made up of regular and irregular attendants of all the churches in town.
 Rev. A. B. Crichton, the rector, opened the meeting by welcoming the people and expressing his qualification at the spirit of co operation and unicy nanifested by the different church denominations. He then introduced Father Fred H. Sill, o. H. O., of Kent, who took charge of the service. Father Sill gave out hymn, from printed collection of familiar gospel hymns and invited the congregation to join heartily in the singing. The response was general and the singing throughout the evening was inspiring and effective. As preface to his sermon Father Sill spoke few words in explanation of the purpose and methods of the mission and bespoke the assistance and prayers of the community for its success.
 AS the theme of his sermon he took the story of Jesus weeping over Jerusa- lem, for the corruption that existed there, and said he wondered if the Savior would not weep if he were to come here, at the present day and con- template us as we really are, with. all our self fsatisfied virtues and the short comings which we f1atter ourselves that we succeed in hiding from one another.
 Following the sermon Father Sill gave an informal, instructive talk on the incarnation, and appealed for the prayers of the people on behalf of the mission, the church and the community.
 Father Sill will have charge of the service again tomorrow evening. In the meantime Father William F. Mayo conducts the meetings. His first meet ing Monday evening was well attended, the first quarter hour being devoted to congregational singing of the familiar hymns.
 Blank slips of paper were given to the congregation, on which they were requested to write tie names of per sons, or the purposes for which they desired prayers to be offered, these slips to be deposited in box placed at the door for their reception.
 Father Mayo, who resembles Father Sill closely in voice and feature, gave an enlightening talk at the close of his brief sermon, Monday evening, on orig inal sin, explaining and defining the various degrees of sin, which was listened to with close attention.
 Each morning at 7:3O the holy con- munion is administered, and each after noon there is special service for the children.
 The mission is growing in interest as it progresses and the attendance is good.

Hungarian Lodge No More.

Editor News: So many have ex- pressed their interest and pleasure in reading about the inmates of the bee house on Meadowland Farm that give this article some what as an encore. Hungarian Lodge is no mo1e-that is the Peter and Patty Huns have gone, and it has now become Bee Lodge. the home of busy Italian and black bees. The Hungarian Partridges have mated and dispersed. Peter and Patty are keeping house somewhere; l fancy 8 few couples are tenting on the border of the swamp, where the tussocks are big and long -grassed and I should think, highly protective. It is not a watery swamp; just black muck and big tussocks.
 Anyhow we had the pleasure of wit. messing a lot of courting, yes, actual bird spooning ere the Peters and Patties really made up their minds which Peter wanted which Patty and which Patty wanted which Peter. There was much quarreling and chasing of each other among the Peter Huns before everything was amicably settled; and what with the angry challenging calls of the Peters and the billings and coo- ings of those couples already mated. believe me, the orchard and lawn were noisy places at night fall.
 In the twilight one could hear and see the little dusky Peters and Pattys scurrying about and their voices at close range are an odd mixture of mellow COO, squeaky door hinge, mixed with notes that suggest the husky throated whippoorwills and there was an amusing tone of petulance and peevish protest in their calls, as if Peter was out of patience with having to plead so long for Patty to come and be his love. Or perhaps it W as Patty s voice, vexed that the foolish Peters all about her should act so silly and quar- relsome.
 We'll, the winter is over, and gone, the Huns no longer come to feed i'll the orchard. They apparently find other food to refresh the inner bird, but q ur- ing the early twilight they still can be heard all over the place. Theirs are delightfully."- spring-like voices; there is the sound of frost and cold in their little mottled throats as if the late furious storms had given them heavy colds from which they had not yet fully recovered. Busy days now on for the Huns; Nesting, much brooding for little dame Hun. Father Hun, proba i bly, rather important and strutty; more so when the eggs are batched and a brood of baby Huns appears. There will be no scarcity of food but much anxiety and watchfulness over that little brood. The real business of life will have indeed begun. To bring up that Hun family will be be their bird problem. Father Hun will not become bald on the top of his little poll and Mrs. Patty will probably not show any wrinkles of care around her little beak, but care and worry and fear for their helpless precious young will all be there in their bird breasts just the same and much joy and pride and hap piness too. The gunner in the fall and the SHOWS of next winter are far away. Let us not anticipate any more of loss, cold or hunger for these brave little Huns; for the present all seems well l for them. B. H.

Merritt s, SpauIdinp

Merritt 5. Spaulding. aged 79, died Friday morning, after brief illness of bronchitis, which, in view of his gen. earlly broken down constitution, and his advanced age, found him an easy victim. For several years past he had been feeble owing to a general break down of his system but had displayed remarkable vitality and tenacity of life.
 He is survived by his widow and three children-Minnie, wife of Fred R. Collin; Mabel, wife of Burton A. Peirce, and Homer, physician, located at Ankeny, Iowa.
 Deceased was a son of the late Daniel R. Spaulding, and was born in Norfolk, August 6. 1887, but moved, with the family, while in his youth, to Falls Village, where his father settled on the farm now owned by Charles Lanneau. He was educated in the public schools of the town, and took a course at the South Berkshire Institute in New Marlborough. He was a farmer prac. tically all his life, but sold the home stead estate eleven years ago and moved to Canaan, where he purchased the resi- dence on Bragg street and resided there until he died. He was a man of sterl- ing uprightness and strong convictions.
 The funeral was largely attended at the house, Monday afternoon, at o'clock, Rev. E. 0. Gillette, of Pilgrim church, officiating. Interment was in the Lower Cemetery.

CrOSS-EYed Justice.

knew it was bound to come and I'll admit have been looking for it. Not long ago a most dangerous scoundrel, thief and betrayer of confidence and trust named Burton appropriated funds of the savings bank of which he was treasurer to extent of something like $50, 1000. He was both a thief and re- ceiver. He receives few weeks ago a State prison sentence the minimum of which was three years. A few weeks ago an ignorant Hartford dry goods dealer accepted stolen goods to value of 1.485. His term in State prison is a minimum of seven years. Whats the answer? I have long suspected Madame Justice of being cross eyed Bristol Press.

HUGHES FOR ARBITRATION.
He Would Be First TO Accord to Labor
All Rights Found Just After
Consideration.

In his Maine speeches Mr.. Hughes
mnde 1t plain that he was not attack
ing labor or the equity Of the pro-
posed Increase Of wages for the rail-
road men. He was simply contending
for the all important principle of arbi-
tration as the right means of settle
ment of such questions. Speaking at
different places in Maine. Mr.. Hughes
dwelt upon this question, saying
81 deeply deplore. in the name of
labor, in the name Of justice, In the
name of American ideals, the surren-
der Of the Executive and Of Congress
to force, instead of permitting reason
to reign.
.'The measure to which have allud-
ed was not properly speaking, an
elght-honr measure. 1t was wage
measure. 1t was plain aroposltion
for change In tile wage scale. / do
not speak Of the equity of that. That
Is a matter to be fairly considered.

spect TO wages. l am for the arbitra-
ton and the peaceful settlement of
these Industrial controversies. We
can settle everything in this country
IL we approach those matters with a
fair and open mind and an examina-
ton Of the facts.
This particular measure shows on
its face that 1t was legislation In ad-
vance OF the investigation, instead
of Investigation In advance of legislar
ton. 1t Is said that there was in its
favor the judgment of society. The
judgment of society in this country
has never been passed in favor of leg
Islatlon without knowledge of the equi-
~ and regardless Of the facts of the
case. There was no judgment OF so
ciety In favor of the roads which were
excepted from its provisions. If there
was a judgment of society, why not ap-
ply the rule to electric or other kinds
OF roads or roads less than 100 miles
In length? ! say, away with such pre-
tense! II was surrender to force in
stead of clear, candid, faithful
framed examination OF the facts, and
then action in accordance with Amerl-
can principles.

my represents force. Democracy rep
resents the rule of the common judg-
ment after discussion, after an oppor-
tunity to know the facts"

TO VOTE FOR HUGHES.
He Says Wilson Has Failed to Enforce
Pure Food Law.

II favor the election of Mr.. Hughes
TO the Presidency for entirely differ
ent reasons than those held by most
of his supporters. 1t is not because
Of the Mexican policy nor the foreign
policy of the Administration nor by
reason of its domestic policies. 1t is
because Of the apparent Indifference
of the Administration of President
Wilson to the cause of pure food and
drugs. Practically all Of the abuses
which We're injected into the Pure
Food Law by the preceding Admins
trauons are still in force. Benzoate
of soda is still regnant. The fumes
OF burning sulphur are marching along
undisturbed. There is evidently lull
in the activities OF the Administration
OF the law. A wcll-known beverage. de-
clared by the Supreme Court misbrand-
ed and amenable 70 the Food Law has
not been molestcd. No attempt has been
made to enforce the law i'm regard 10

has been tacitly approved by the
Treasury Department.
Mr.. Hughes in his activities on
the supreme Court has stood like
stone wall for the proper Adminlstra-
ton Of the Food Law. l believe his
election would see a radical change
In the attitude of the government
towards pure food and pure drugs, SO
vital to the welfare of our people.
For this reason. | sincerely hope that
Mr. Hughes may be chosen as our
next President.
Il should expect Mr.. Hughes as
President to have the same attitude
toward the pure food and drug law
that he had as a Judge on the bench
and TO appoint a secretary Of acri
culture with subordinate officers who
would be enthusiastic aud earnest In
the enforcement Of the pure food law
