that we should withdraw from the

that we might have the convention in

bull by the horns," and do the trick i'll a way that will be most satisfactory to all concerned, and have it settled for all time?
 It is generally conceded by those who have considered the matter from an un- prejudiced standpoint that the most feasible solution of the difficulty lies in the change of layout for the railroad according to a survey made several years ago. which would remove the railroad center, with its noise, dirt and switching to the end of West Main crossings. There are several reasons why this change would benefit both Ga naan and the railroad company. By leaving the present layout north of Van- Deusen's crossing in Ashley Falls, keeping to the west of the highway and entering Canaan by way of the "back- road neighborhood at West M ain street continuing straight for and returning to the persent main line at "Point of Rocks, "nine grade crossings would be eliminated and the railroad would be strengthened considerably. The nine crossings are: VanDeusen's, Ashley Falls station, Ashley Falls Main street, Hoag's, Pease's, Bragg street, Canaan Main street. Hitchcock's, and the Lower crossing. Besides these, the two dangerous grade crossings at "Point of Rocks" could be wiped out while the change was being made there, which would swell the number to eleven.
 The land through which the new layout would run is the cheapest in this section, a part of which is almost worthless, and it is a question if the expense of making this change of strengthening and shortning the rall- road would equal that of eliminating the nine grade crossings, while the future benefits to derived from it can. not be compared with present condi. tions.

CROSSING PROTECTION

The Sunday Boston Post shows a picture of a veteran crossing tender using the new traffic signal, the "human semaphore, and says of it:
 ''No longer will the unruly autoist run past the crossing tender on the New Haven system and have as his excuse the indistinct soiled white flag. The crossing tender and his newly adopted danger signal can be distin. guished half mile away.
 During the last week these men have been furnished with white round disc a foot in diameter with three.inch letters in black spelling the word Stop. Instead of wildly waving the signal, as was the old rule with the flag, the crossing tender now stands directly in the middle of the highway and holds the traffic semaphore high above his head.''
 These "stop signs" have been used at our local grade crossings for several weeks, and they are without doubt a great improvement over the old white flag. It would seem almost impossible for an accident to occur when this de- vice is properly displayed as warning But there is the weak point: so long as humanity is depended upon in such positions just so long will there be ac- cidents, to prove which the collision at Ashley Falls last Saturday is a sample. The crossing tender was there, the "stop" signal was there, and in spite of both, the auto and trolley car collid- ed. All of which proves that the only safe way for highway to cross a rail load is to not cross it-put it over or under.

HALLOWEEN FRANKS.

The old. time custom among the younger population of turning the town upside down on Hallowe'en night is considered by some an important part of youngsters education. At least they seem to think it is all right that one night in year should be set aside for the exercise of juvenile cussedness regardless of the work and expense to which others are subjected in cleaning up the mess the next day, besides the actual damage to property, which oc- CUTS every year. in some form or an. other.
 It is claimed that the boys do not mean to do damage. which may be true, but that does not mend the stone hitch ing post that was broken off on Main street two years ago, nor the one that was destroyed Tuesday night. Neither does it prevent serious accidents which will result, sooner or later, from the placing of Instructions on the side. walks in poorly lighted sections. or stretching ropes across for pedestrians to trip on.
 It is gratifying to observe that the custom is gradually dying out, and the quicker it becomes entirely extent the better.

Promotion comes to him who tries Not solely for selfisR prize, But day by day and year by year Holds his employers interests dear. Who measures not by what he earns The sum of labor he returns. Nor counts his day of toifing through Till he's done all ttiat he can do. His strength is not of muscle bred, But of the heart and of the head.

The retention of many units of the national guard as part of the force which is to man the several infantry posts that are to patrol an important section of the Mexican border is sig niicant. The guard is not an ineffi- cient body, as has been asserted since it's mobilization for duty on the bor- der. Doubtless some units of the guard were below the standard which should be expected, but that will be the case with any class of troops sud denly summoned from armories and barracks to the field of war. The sig niiicant thing when troops are plunged from peace into war is stamina physical, mental and moral stamina. Given this the troops can be depended upon, and soldiers who can be depend ed upon can develop an efficient army under test in very short time. The trade of soldering is most exacting, and ultimate decision rests upon hu- man endurance. The man who gets as far as the Mexican border has won half the battle over himself. He is 51 per cent efficient, anyway. How much more than 51 per cent lies un- der his jacket will be disclosed by tryout. and in no other way.

Judging from the plans and activi- ties of "big business" there will be no falling off of American strenuous ness in the days following the close of the world war. The reconstruction of battered regions i'll France is a man. moth project now under consideration. American companies are preparing to equip manufacturing plants in Russia, France, Italy and China. On this side of the ocean the growth of trade with South America invites new efforts to continue it against European compe- tition. Seventy-four American ships reached the port of BuenOs Ayres the first eight months of 1916. Between 1910 and 1914 not q single merchant ship flying the American flag called at that port. In those eight months our exports to South America rose from $SG,O0O,0OO in the corresponding months last year to $131, 100000 and the imports from $199,oOO,oOO to $2S6,- 100000.
