 In connection with postoffice inter- ests it may be noted that March has been anything but a holiday for the rural carriers working in Windharn county towns. By some of these car riers the present month is regarded as the toughest, weatherwise, they have ever experienced. They have worked through storm after storm and roads choked with snow, drifted badly in many places, has made the work of covering the routes exceedingly diffi- cult.

 Snow Obstructs Streets.
 Danielson business men would be very well pleased if some of the mass of snow were cleared from Main and other streets in the business section They are not yelling loudly for relief but they are voicing their ideas on the subject generally and freely and fee that something should be done abou it, even though the snow shOveling bil of the winter is boosted a bit. At tht present time Main street is in as baC condition as many country roads ant it is a very simple proposition to upse a vehicle on the little mountains tha mark the course of the thoroughfare.

nam, Mir. Geeson holds three notes with the property as security-a first mortgage for $3,0oo, dated April 2, 1914, a second mortgage of S2,5O0, transferred from George A. Pettis, former owner of the farm, to Mir Gee son, and O third note of $201.
 Mir. Geeeon testified that he had re- ceived no interest payments on either the first or the second notes; that dug ing the fall of last one years interest and $100 had been paid on the third note of S200.
 Called as a witness, MT. Pettis said he was S1 years of age and had lived on the farm in question for 77 years. He said, with considerable feeling. that the farm had been run down since he sold 1t, and 1t was also brought out that he sold his S2,5O0 mortgage to Mir. Geeson for 1000. MT. Pettis said he received S7,o00 for the place when he sold 1t in the spring of 1914, bue he considered it depreciated in value by $1, since that time. Other witnesses fixed the present value of the farm, one of the finest in the sec ton where 1t Is located, at from s5,- 500 to S6,00o.

HAD TO FEED HUSBAND
Mrs. Lewis A. Baker Seeks Separation From Lazy, ShiftIess Spouse.

One unccntested divorce was heard Tuesday, that of Mary J. Baker of this city, for years a resident at Wood stock Valley, vs. Lewis A. Baker. Mrs. Baker claimed desertion, in 1909, and that her husband was so lazy and shiftless that she would have starved had she not left him. The couple were married at Wilmington, January 3, 1890.
 What Mrs. Baker had to say about her husband being unwilling to work was corroborated by Selectman II. B. Buell. and Emerson W. Lyon, Eastford, both well acquainted with herself and her family troubles.
 As a witness Mrs. Baker testified that she had gone to the farm where her husband lives, and of which she holds the deed, frequently since her separation from her husband six years ago; that she had brought food there for her husband to subsist on and had performed other acts of kindness toward him.
 Judge Curtis did not grant a decree, instructing Mrs. Bakers counsel At | torney Charles F. Searls. to file a brief covering the particular kind of | desertion shown to have taken place. Claims $e5s as Nurse. At the afternoon session of cc"-t merly of Danielson, but now a resi- | dent of New Hampshire, against Mrs. | Mary Hardwick of Danielson. was ! commenced. The counsel in the case | are Judge A. G. Bill for Mrs. Boutin, | MeSsrs. Back, Darbie and Woodward, | all of Danielson, for the defendant The plaintiff seeks to recover S656 | for services as a nurse, and in many | other ways rendered Mrs. Hardwick | while the two women occupied adjoin- | ing tenements in the Bates Block in Danielson, from Sept. 1, 1910, to Aug ust, 1914. Mrs. Boutin claims she cared for Mrs. Hardwick when she was i'll, that she cooked for her, bath ed her and generally saw to her com fort and well being over all the per- iod mentioned.
 The defence of Mrs. Hardwick Is a | general denial and a counter claim for s621 for services rendered by MT Hardwick in caring for Mrs. Boutin's | apartment while the latter was out for the day, for washing dishes, car. | ing for plants and other services.
 There are many witnesses to bt

 The episode that has created the most amusement was the publication in a New York paper, and the quoting in various other papers, of a letter signed by Principal Handy, calling at tention to a system of military train ing in schools and colleges, exactly such as Putnam is to contend against on Friday night.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Juniors Win D. A. R. Cup in Debate
 With Seniors.


 The third and fast of the intercIass debates was held Wednesday, the 18th, at the High School. The question was, Resolved. That capital punishment should be abolished. The Seniors supported the negative and the Jun iOrs the affirmative. The judges. Mrs William Barber, Miss Harriet Brown and Rev. Ii. A. Beadle of Pomfret, de- ctded in favor of the affirmative. The cup was presented the president of the Junior class by the principal Fri day morning. A brief summary of the arguments of both sides is as follows: Affirmative, Capital punishment is contrary to the tendency of civiliza- tion and the modern attitude toward criminals, it is simply legalized mur- der, does not decrease murder, is bru- talking to officials and public, there Is danger of killing innocent people, crime Is often the result of heTedity environment and circumstance capi- tai punishment allows for no differ ence in motives. and there are inc qualities in administration. Negative Capital punishment has always been the custom, all leading countries have it, it has been abolished and reestab- Hshed in several places, it is just. it Is the only effective deterrent, it does away with the cost of keeping the criminal, and it answers the require ments as a highest form of punish ment.
 There were some sixty present. Ow- ing to the hard storm only a few out side the school were present, but the Debating Club greatly appreciated the interest showed by several mem bers of the D. A. R. who braved the storm in order to hear the third and last debate for the cup given three years ago by the chapter. After the engraving of the names of the win ming team, the cup will be replaced in NN.
 Putnam KilIinsly Debate.
 The great event of this week at the high school is the Putnam -KillirSly debate to be held at 7.3O Friday sv- enini, March 2+, in the High School hall. As far as can be remembered this is the first interschool debate in which Putnam has taken part since 1903 when a team made up of John Byrne, Harold Bowen and Raymond Gikpatric met a Worcester High school team in debate at the Bradley thea tre with the governor of the state as presiding officer. There has been little or no debating in the high school since MT. Fay's principalship until it was revived two years ago. at MT. Backus' request, and fostered by the giving of the ID. A. R. prize cup for the winners in series of interclass debates.
 The question to be debated Friday evening is, Resolved, that there should be compulsory military training in the secondary schools and colleges Of the United States. Putnam chose the question and Killingly the side, her choice being the affirmative. The Putnam team is composed of Malcolm Wiley, captain; Gould Beard, Ruth Child and Percy Richardson. s The Judges are to be MT. Olmsted, head master of the Pomfret school: Prin- cipal Bellows of Tourtelotte Memorial; and Principal Chapman of Plainfeld. Letter Stirs Up Controversy. No time ors effort has been, spared

River Older Than the Mountains 1t
 Drains.

The guidebooks to western travel is- sued by the United States Geological Survey explain some things which at first sight seem inexplicabIe. How much more interesting it is to see something of which you know enough to understand and appreciate it's won werS Ogden Canyon, a deep cleft through the towering Wasatch Noun tains, overlooking the Great Sale Lake, is one of the show places along the Oregon Short Line, yet many of the thousands of people who have viewed it's beauties would have enjoyed them more had they first read the little statement of geologic history given in the Geological Surveys guidebOok Of the Overland Route.
 Ogden Canyon, a deep notch with bare cliffs of hard pink quartzite on both sides, was cut in the solid rock by the river which flows through it. Run ming water carrying sand and gravel acts as a, saw or file and, given time enough, can cut through the hardest rocks. Ogden river was flowing west along it's present course before the lofty Wasatch Mountains came into exist ence. The raising of the mountains went on slowly for ages, so slowly that the river kept its place by cutting down its ever-rising bed, carving a deep and narrow canyon straight through the block of the earth's crust as it rose. In no other way can we nationally account for a river rising on one side of the range and flowing directly. across it. Movement of the mountain mass has continued down to the present time-at least there has been recent disturbance along the base of the Wasatch Range, as is shown by faults which traverse the lake de- posits and the modern alluvial aprons Some of the breaks are so new as tc be devoid of vegetation. The upward movement of the mountains has been so continuous that the river has had no opportunity to widen it's valley, a task which it will begin as soon as the mountains cease rising
