HINSDALE. N. H.
Delightful Concert and Ball.

The Masonic concert and bali which was
held under the auspices of Golden Rule
lodge No. II, F. and A. NJ. in the town
hall Friday evening was one of the most
successful social events of the season and
was decidedly one of the most ENJOYABLE
concerts and dances ever given by the
lodge The grand march was led by j.
W. Field, W. NJ, and Mrs. Field and
about 100 couples joined in the dancing
from to /, with an intermission at II 30,
when an excellent buffet luncheon was
served. Punch was served throughout the
evening.
The beauty of the hall with its new
decorations, was greatly enhanced by
green and white flower shades over the
lights, while the stage with its evergreen
trimmings, over the centre of which was
suspended beautiful Masonic emblem, the
compass, square and CO. in colors of blue
and white and dotted with a multitude of
miniature electric lights, made very
| pleasing setting for the orchestra.
| The music was furnished by Lyman's or
chestra of eight pieces and was faultlessly
rendered. The concert took place from
| to 8 before a large audience In addition to
the dancers, and the program, which was
excellently arranged, was as follows
March, Imperial, E. A. Bagley; overture,
Hungarian Lustspeil, Kela-Bela; selection,
Lucia Dl Lammemoor, DoniZetti; Cuema,

TAFT sHUNs CONVENTION.
No Desire to Attend the Republican
National Gathering

HARTFORD Conn, Feb. 7-According
to a report from New Haven ex-President
William Howard Taft, now Yale profes-
sor, has relinquished any desire he might
have had to represent Connecticut in the
Republican national convention at Chicago
next June.
Mr. Taft, who has been prominently
mentioned as a delegate at large from Con
necticut, said over the long distance tele-
phone that he did not care to comment on
this or any other political topic
1T is difficult to give an interview
about all the necessary qualifications that
fairly shiver when | see my views in
print" he explained.
The New Haven report was supported
with the theory that Mr. Taft had decided
that his election as delegate might alien
ate wayering Bull Moose in Connecticut
and that his appearance in the convention
might create difficulties with Progressive
Republicans
A prominent Republican leader ex-
pressed the opinion last night that Mr.
Taft ought to attend the convention and
by his presence aid in the bringing bacl;
into the party of the Bull Moose.

WHITMAN DEPOSED
AT WESTMORELAND
Commissioners of County Farm and
House of Correction Not Satisfied
with Maintenance Cost.

Asa A. Whitman, for % years superin-
tendent at the Cheshire county farm at
Westmoreland, n. H., and master of the
mouse OF correction there, is to be succeed
ed April 1 by Barrett Wheeler of Mari
boro, Mass The commissioners. N. O.
Spaulding and Charles NJ. Norwood of
Keene and Frank Davis of Hinsdale. met
in Keene Friday and made the appoint
ment. 1t was stated that Mr. Whitman
had been informed that a change was con
templated, but that he did not resign.
W hen asked the reason for making the
change IN Nestmoreland the commission
ers had little to say except from the point
OF view OF the cost of maintaining the
county farm, which they evidently hope to
be able to reduce under a new superintend-
ent and better farming methods
From the county report of 1919 it APP
pears that the number of inmates at the
farm Jan. l was 30, while the number Jan.
1, 1916, was %. The number of weeks
board furnished prisoners and help was
o,II3 and the average cost per week So 06
Ihls is considered a high figure for coun-
ty institution of this kind
! Looking back over the county reports
at hand it appears that in 1895 there were
about % inmates at Westmoreland and
the weeks board furnished inmates and all
others at the farm was 4019 The average
cost per week was 81 411s.
The new appointee is a man of expert
ence in the management of institutions for
the poor, having been superintendent for
five or SIX years, it is stated, of the town
farm in Marlboro, Mass He has there had
experience not unlike that required of a
superintendent at Westmoreland. includ-
ing the carrying on of farm of 50 acres,
largely tillage land
