dust Smile,

Just Smile. Say, folks, I've learned thing or two In these past forty years; I'm going to pass it on to you May save you bitter tears. I've travelled up and down the lanes That lead out different ways I've had my aches, my breaks and pains, My of" and lucky days. I've seen the deal almost go through And had the money spent. I've raved and sworn as most men do To get so badly bent. I've thought at times, "Oh, what's the
 use
 The hand of fate is sure;" I've felt the stings of long abuse And know the word endure. Say, folks, know just how you feel When all your plans go wrong; The punch at times has made me reel And almost missed the gong. But listen, folks, to what I say; Your life and mine's the same; If you'll do your part every day We'll win, though hard the game. Now, follow me: "It's just like this; It's free and without guile; It moves the world and cannot miss, It's this, just keep your smile.

TheWurra Wurra Club

When all had entered who wished, the sexton. MT. Strong, declared the doors closed, and nobody was allowed to enter except those who came late. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mir. J. O. Roraback, the mayor, who instructed the secretary to call the roll of absentees, none of whom was present. The fines, dues and assessments were collected by Constable Rhoades, and the minutes of the previ. ous meeting were read by Victor Coe, in the Morse code. Then the Opening Ode was sung by Con Hitchcock in husky soprano, accompanied by Henry Scutt, on his hair-clipper, after which the meeting was opened under the head, the good of the order.
 Mir. Farnum rose to inquire if any, body could tell how it happened that the route of the trunk line state road was changed by the last legislature without a protest from North Canaan; and who was responsible for the altera. ton in the original layout. He said it was evident that somebody, probably from the adjoining town on the south had put up clever, job in the legisla. ture, and caught our own town nap- ping. He said North Canaan should organize lobby party to go before the next legislature to fight for a restora- tion of the old layout, which was more desirable in every way, for not only the three towns of North Canaan, Falls Village and Salisbury, but by long odds more economical for the state; and he moved that a committee of five be ap. pointed by the chair to act as legisla tive committee to remedy the wrong.
 The motion was seconded by Mr. Holsapple, and unanimously passed, and the chair appointed as such com. mittee Messrs. Joe Parsons, Lyles, Ives, Dempsey and Watson Hardenbergh.
 Mr. A. H. Herriman offered motion that committee be appointed to organize proper Fourth of July cele- bration for 1917. Here's our little ueighbor, East Canaan, putting it all over us in patriotic enterprise, said celebration with all the frills that go with a metropolitan demonstration; while we, with all our boasted progress siveness, take it out in shooting fire- crackers from store stoop, or going automobile riding, or fiocking up to East Canaan to get an object lesson in local gumption, or going to Norfolk, where they're having a jubilee with "events" managed by famous men and big wigs in the world of business, education and science. For instance, the potato race is judged by Dr. Frank J. Goodnow, president of Johns Hop- kins University; the tug of-war by Prof. Pupin, one of the greatest electric wizards in America; the broad jump by Fred Walcott, a Wall Street fin ancial magnate, and so on. Such things would be too undignitied for our most distinguished fellow citizen, but we may see those stunts by going to Norfolk. We are having plenty of ob- ject lessons in local gumption, all around us. What are we going to do about it? I call for vote on my motion"
 The motIon was seconded by Fred Collin, and passed by a vote of 287 to 266, the chair casting the deciding vote. The committee on the 1917 Fourth of July celebration, as ap- pointed by the chair, is composed of Charles G. Smith, John B. Reed, H. D. Humphrey, Fred Gillette and E. w. Warner.

The practice of riding bicycles on sidewalks is being stopped in some towns in the state, where it has become a nuisance. In some other places, where it is none the less nuisance, no effort is made to put stop to it. The law provides a penalty of $20 fine for each offense, and if some aggrieved citizen ever decides to make complaint of the nuisance, certain violators not so far away will be apt to hear some- thing to their disadvantage. A word to the wise is as good as feast.

The Tralnmen and Other Folks.

Recent railroad prosperity has made for higher wages. These demands have been made not upon the bodies which regulate the railroads and con- trol rates, viz. the Interstate Commerce Commission and the forty-odd State commissions, but directly upon the officers in charge of these companies
 If granted, these higher wages will be. come an element in the costs by which rates must be fixed high enough to cover, but the bodies fixing rates are not to be consulted. The trainmen's organizations would be in a stronger position as regards public opinion if their proposal were to be presented directly to the regulative bodies in. stead of indirectly through officials subject to regulation. In sixteen years the pay of conductors, engineers. fire. men, etc, has increased relatively faster than the pay of other railroad workers. The trainmen average over $l00 per month and want more. The others (not including officers) average under $60 per month, and their chances of getting more will be poorer if the present demands are granted. s. What workmen are to get out of any public utility is merely some share of what that utility is allowed to get out of the public. If that share is not to be de- termined by regulation, then what regulation we have is incomplete and ineffective The trainmen should agree to the carriers demand for arbitration; that at least will prevent an unthinksble country wide strike.- Golfers Weekly.

WILL HISTORY REPEAT?

The Waterbury Republican locks to gee the Mexican trouble produce a President of the United States. It cites numerous precedents, and leads to a reasonable conclusion. Says the Republican,:
 A Mexican war made General Taylor president of the United States, and helped to make Jefferson Davis presi- dent of the confederacy. Grant owed his election to the civil war, as George Washington owed his to the revolution. The civil war gave Hayes, Garfield and Mckinley their chance to rise above the mass and helped elect them to the first office in the land. The Spanish war had much to do with putting Theodore Roosevelt in the White house. Few as American wars have been, and peace-loving as the nation is, nearly half the presidents have owed their elevation to military opportunity.
 Will any further presidents emerge from the present Mexican troubles? It will be strange if the precedents fail. Fl the controversy with Carranza de- velops into W ar, with prolonged cam paign and opportunities for military distinction, it's practically certain that SOL e of the men now blithely eh. training for the Rio Grande-perhaps some of the lads now volunteering for the national guard-will some time govern the destinies of the nation.
