&c. B.. STANDS FOR A MAN WHO
is ANXIOUS TO "COME BACK"
Over the hardest road in the world
to travel, thorned with more mem
cries and sailed with more tears than
the mind of man likes to .cOntem-
plate, G. B. is travelling and he's got
the S. o. S. signal out.
Some years ago c. B. stood at the
top of the ladder. He was a civil en-
gineer doing city work. He designed
the Lake View water system. Men
who were in the know called him
tOpnOtch man.
He was married and the father of
happy family.
Then the booze hit him after he
had been hitting the booze as a good
fellow. He started slipping. He did
not slide so gradually as some men.
The fall from the top Of the ladder
is harder than when a man is only
half way up.
He was arrested for being intod-
Gated and shown a little leniency. He
was arrested again and sent to the
Bridewe1. The iron of it ate into his
soul. He, the man on the top, a
drunk doing time in the bandhouse.
He went once and came out and he
couldn't forget, so he went again and
the bandhoUse has had him all told
fifteen times as a drunk.
The wife and the five children be-
lieved in him. Sober, he was the best
father and husband, but the wife and
children were all that did seem to
believe in him.
Then he came into the domestic
relations court as a last resort, and
Judge Newcomer, knowing the man
that used to be, got the idea that
G. B. could come back. Instead of
the sixteenth trip to the bandhoUse
he put him on his honor to keep
away from the booze and to work.
So far the man who wants to come
back hasn't been able to get what he
needs mOSt-9 Inland that OOt-

Forest Notes.


 Coniferous timber has been found to be better suited than any other for the production of ethyl alcohol.
 There are 592 consumers of tannin in the United States who use annually 625. 900 cords of hemlock bark, 290 900 cords of oak bark, and 3S0, 900 cords of chestnut wood.
 Experts of the Forest Service esti .. mate that the farm woodlots of the United States contain from 200 to 300 billion board feet of lumber and from one to one and half billion cords of wood.
 On some of the National Forests of the northwest the snow lay on the ground longer this spring than for many years. In consequence stockmen have been considerably delayed in get. ting their herds on the ranges. All of the 2S counties of Utah con. tain portions of National Forests and consequently all share in the 25 per cent. of the National Forest receip;s which is paid over to the road and school funds. This is true of no other state.
 One hundred thirty thousand maps of the National Forests will be distrib. uted to tourists thIs summer. These . maps show the best camp sites. good hunting and fishing grounds, roads, , trails and telephone lines, and give directions how to reach points of inter , est.

Write Soon v

This poem appealing for letters fron nome" was received from McAnen Tex. headquarters of the New Yorl guard regiments on the border. It was written by Private William s. Copp Company c, Seventy-first New York regiment.
 When you get up in the morning
 After hours of gay delight And you're thinking of old Broadway,
 With its gay and glittering light, Just sit down and write a letter
 To some homesick soldier boy, For to hkn there's nothing better
 Than little note of joy. When you've had your lunch at Sherry's
 And are lingering OCT the wine And you're tired of life and living
 And think the world unkind. Just take up your pen and paper,
 Write about the girls and boys, For the soldier lad waits eager
 For his little note of joy. An, there's many lad gets gloomy
 When the letters fail to come; I can see it in their faces
 This and that and t'other one For they have as many worries
 For the folks back home you see, As the folks back home have worries
 For the boys of Company c. So just scribble something cheerful
 When it comes to you at night Or in the early morning.
 When the sun is shining bright. But be sure the old pen staggers
 Just with news to cheer the boy, For the soldier lad who's waiting
 For his little note of joy.

Men Can.Yot Ride.

. A large percenta'>e of the men of the signal corps company. O. NJ. n. C.. en- camped at Warren, Ariz have lot to learn about horseback riding. This was evident when the first section of the company took it's first fed practice on horseback. 1t developed that a number of the men never had done any real horseback riding and that they knew practically nothing about sad- ding a horse. Captain Terry, com maniing the company, is not a bit dis couraged, however, for he knew that among the men of his company who are experts in telegraphy and other signaling work there were many who were versed fin caring for and riding a horse.
 Some of the men had to he taught how to put a hridle on their horse, and practically all of them needed instrue- tion in the art of saddling their mount properly. The only men who were able to do this unassisted were those who have been in camps before with tho company and one or two others who were born and raised in the west and know how to handle horses.
 The first group of men of the com pany to go into the field on horseback was section composed of men select ed from the four sections of the com pany. Captain Terry went along to in- struct the men. Sergeant Filler. stable sergeant of the company, also went along

SUFFRAGE-PRO AND CON
Pro-.


 The Connecticut Women Suffrage Association held no county convention last month. This does not mean that |. active suffrage work was suspended. On the contrary there was never a buster month in the annals of the As- sociation-since it's first organization in 1869-that the month of July 1916. In the five counties which held con- ventions in June organization work has been rapidly going on and the expecta- tion is that there will be no town or district without complete suffrage organization for political work when the annual convention of the Connecti- cut Woman Suffrage Association is held in November.
 August will see suffrage conventi ons in three counties-New London County, Litchfield County and Middlesex County. In these counties the chair men have adopted a different plan from that agreed upon by the chairmen of New Haven, Hartford, Windham, Fair field and Holland Counties. Instead of holding the convention first, and using this convention as stimulus to better county work, they are doing the organ ization work first and are intending to have full convention towards the end of the summer. In New London County, Miss Katherine Ludington, is being assisted by Miss Daphne Selden, and is carrying through'a careful plan of work which will include every cen- ter of population in the county.

Mayor Anthony Sunderland, of Dan-
 bury, Standing at the Side of His
 Aeroplane at Ithaca, N. Y. militia officers were selected from the National Guard of each state.
 Mayor Sunderland is not only the first municipal executive in the United States to become 8 military aviator, but one of the first, if not the first, to make flight in an aeroplane. AS his friends are aware, it is his desire to secure 8 commission in the regular army, possibly as a member of the aviation corps, and as the demand for military aviators far exceed the avail able force of trained flyers, his chance of entering the army is believed to be excellent, especially if military activi- ties along the Mexican border are pro- longed.
 The mayor, naturally reticent about his achievements, has written but lit. tie to his friends about his experiences as an aviator, but it is known that he was greatly pleased with his early ex. perience in flying and that his sub- sequent flights have only served to enchance that impression. He is said to have found aviation even more fasci- hating than he had expected to.
