FARMERS FINE DEFENSE.

Recently a merchant happened to see a farmer receive a box at the depot and noticed that it was from mail order house. He also noticed that the goods were right in his line and the some as he carried for years. He immediately approached the farmer and said:
 II could have sold you the goods you have here for less money than the Chicago house and saved you the freight"
 "Then why didn't you do so ?" said the farmer. 'I have taken the local paper for a year and have not seen a line about your selling these or any other goods. This mail order house sends advertising matter to me asking for my trade, and it gets it. If you have any bargains, why don't you put them in the paper so we can see what they are ?''-Exchange.

THOSE BILLROARDS.

When Secretary Spooner of the Connecticut Temperance Union re turned from the League Convention at Indianapolis he found that some of the new billboards on the stations of the N. Y,, N. H. 6 H. R. R. Company, were being used for advertising beer. He took it up at once with the presi. dents office and although MT. Elliott was out of the state it was only two weeks before letter was received from his assistant which said ''The adver- tisements which have been carried on our signboards have either been covered with other advertisements or are in the process of being covered now, and I trust this action meets with your ap- proval"
 It most certainly does, and we are glad to pass on this evidence of CO., operation from the great corporation which so largely controls our traffic matters. The world moves.

HEALTH NEWS.

The desire for ease of life and plenti- ful diet is universal and is the great stimulus of man and animals alike. When man becomes greedy and takes more ease and food and drink than is his share. Nature discards him.
 In the race for power and place, for ease of circumstance and~relief from the stimulus of hunger, the modern man is apt 10 forget that unless he is careful of his body he will soon be made to suffer for the infraction of Natures memorable physical law. With the loss in body tone comes an equal Joss in mental acuity and the brain which for a time was able to over fed, under exercised, self-pojsOned body, stops working.
 Other things being equal it is the man who leads the we'll balanced life who lasts the longest, whose work to the end is uniformly the best, he who neither over works nor over-plays neither over eats, over drinks, nor over sleeps, he who maintains a standard of simple healthy diet in moderation, who offsets mental work with physical recreation, who is as honest with his own body as he is with his own busi. ness. When success comes to such one his physical and mental condition Is such that he can enjoy in peace of mind and contentment of body the fruits of his labors.
 The regulations of U. s. Public Health Service state: ''It is the duty of officers to maintain their physical as we'll as their professional fitness. To this. end they shall be allowed time for recreation and study whenever their official duties will permit" If the government regards it as essential that it's sanitary experts shall be safeguarded in this way. is it not equally important to every citizen that he similarly maintain a high standard of physical integrity?

SUFFRkGE-PRO AND CON
Pro-.

Pro.
 Preparations are now almost con- plete for the second suffrage parade the parade which is to be held in New Haven on Tuesday the 18th. This parade is in honor of the Democratic Convention-just as the parade of last week was held on account of the Re- publican State Convention. The task of organizing the second parade has not been nearly so difficult as it was to organize the parade of September 5. All the machinery was ready and every woman whoa took part in the first parade was eager to lend her services also for the one next week. The parade will start at 2 p. m. and all the women will be furnished with paper lanterns, which will give the effect of a torchlight parade.
 The Connecticut delegates to the National Woman Suffrage Convention at Atlantic City which closed last Sun. day, are now back in Connecticut. The convention opened on the 9th, and some of the delegates were not in time for the opening session, as they were not able to reach Atlantic City before Wednesday noon on account of the New Haven parade. However all the Connecticut women were present for the vigorous discussions that were held over the methods and policy to be pur- sued. The general opinion among these Connecticut women was that never was a suffrage convention more in dead earnest as regards work for the vote. The women felt that they were on the verge of enfranchisement that however the vote may come, come it will without delay. The effect of this conviction was that every woman was willing to put her whole energies into the work, realizing that concentration now will end the fight and will liberate all the organized suffragists for further constructive work for the community.

To those who like to eat lobster, the article on "The Vanishing Lobster" !" published elsewhere in this paper, will be of interest. It seems as if the whole animal kingdom, except pests like rats, mosquitoes, English Spar. rows, etc., is becoming depleted, and the desirable species are either not to be had at all, or at such increased cost that common people cannot afford them. The present Connecticut laws permit the catching of any lobster over 45 inches, body measure, which in- cludes, of course, the largest ones The large female Holsters are worth their weight in gold for the production of eggs to perpetuate the race, and should be protected by law. Noth- ing but very stringent laws will save the lobster from extinction.

WOMEN AND NO LICENSE.

To the Editor of The News:
 What are the women of North Ga naan going to do about no license this year? Are missions and soldiers in Europe of more importance to us than a decent no license town? How about petition filled with the names of women who do not want the disgrace of saloon in their midst? Let it read something like this: "We, the women of Canaan, who desire no license town of our vooers, dophereby exercise the right of our indirect influence by placing our names on this petition ask. ing that we be permitted 10 live for another year in a no license town. We ask this because we, though we cannot vote, are buyers of goods and taxpayers ill this town. We have homes and families. We are expected to help keep up the churches and to do our duty to home, family and society We ask that you men do your duty as we'll and vote for no license.'
 Then might follow the names.

Con-.

In spite of the advance reports sent out by the woman suffrage interests that the republican convention adopted platform containing plank in- dorsing woman suffrage, the platform as adopted contains no reference what ever to the subject, as the result of the arguments put forward before the com- mittee on resolutions by the representa- tive speakers from the Connecticut Association Opposed to Woman Suf- fragn. AS at the republican conven. tion last week, the association will have headquarters in New Haven for the coming democratic convention and will also go before the resolutions com- mittee of that body with arguments against the adoption of a suffrage plank.
 The association maintained he ad. quarters at the Hotel Taft during the convention last week and so were able to get ill touch with a number of the delegates to show them the strong op. position to woman suffrage which exists among the women of this state, in spite of suffrage parades" and other de. monstrations which apparently give the impression that women as a whole are in favor of voting.
 The anti suffrage arguments were presented to the committee by Mrs. Daniel A. Markham. of Hartford, the president of the state branch of the National association, by Miss Alice Hill Chittenden, of New York, and by Mrs. Goodwin, of Litchfield, the chief address being delivered by Miss Chit tenden In closing, Miss Chittenden set forth concisely the reasons for op. posing the woman suffrage plank, say. ing: After the defeat If woman suf- frage in New York last November by the great majority of nearly 200,0 a statement was issued saying, "The Women have won," and the women had won, for we Anti .Suffragists are the women of this country. We gre the women who are speaking here to- night (probably with very few excep- tions) for the women of your house. holds and families. We are the women who are doing the real woman's work in the world. which some one must do, and the only reason we shrink form the responsibilities which the ballot entails is because we believe we can serve the state in other ways than through the maelstrom of politics. We are tine women who will stand by the men if they will stand by their princi- pies and by us. Press Chairman.

WHY NORTH CANAAN |?
he Editors of The News:

To the Editors of The News:
 Why should the general mix-up of the names Canaan and North Canaan be continued longer? Just because our grandfathers thought it best to adopt those titles when the town was divided is it any reason that we pass it on to our grandchildren The Central New England Railway seems to have no trouble in changing the names of stations all about us, why cannot we arbitrate the matter with the town of Canaan so that we will be Canaan on the map of the world to be made "after the war is over ?''

WHO'S WHOl

There appears to be all immense amount of conjecture as to who is to rose as editor of The News, and all sorts of reports heve been circulated re- garding the changes just made in the office. Some of our contemporaries have even gone so far as to tell why the change was made-a matter of which they kpew nothing. AS to this, we can only say that the change was made for reasons sufficient unto the directors of The Canaan Printing Co.,, and is a matter with which no one out side had anything to do.
 The public have also been informed through the press that MT. Parsons, tine former business manager, is no longer with the company, which is far from true. Should those who made these statements call at The News office they might be surprised to find MT. Parsons in the editorial chair-but that is where they are quite liable to find him. It is barely possible, too, that MT. Tease may be occupying the chair ill MT.  Parsons absence, or even in his pres. ence, depending principally upon the nature of the callers errand. should he appear bedecked with war paint and with fire in his eye, looking for the editor, he will doubtless be referred to the other fellow, regardless of which may be in the sacred sanctimonious sanctum sanctorum at the psycholog cal moment. On the other hand, should his errand be the payment of sub- scription, donation of mammoth pumpkin. pie material, or, in fact, any of the good things of life, he will prob ably hear nothing about the other fel. low, but be received with open arms and smiling countenance by the one fortunate enough to be on the job at the time.
 However all these things may be, what does it matter who the editor is Nor whether the paper has one editor or two, or none at all? Take it for what it is, not for who makes it. We do not expect to make as good a paper as you have been getting, but it will be different, and it is up to you to do the judging.

NO MORE PARALYSIS CASES

Persistent rumors are being circu- lated that Can an has another case of infantile paralysis. Health Officer Lee informs us that such is not the case, the only one up to date is the little daughter of E. D. Benedict and she is recovering. The reason for starting such a story appears to be because of a mix-up in the blanks as furnished by the state health department. It is to be hoped no more cases of paralysis de. velop in this vicinity.

Letters From the People
AN APPRECIATION.
Editor of The News {:


 To the Editor of The News:
 The departure of John Rodemeyer from the sanctum of The News is a matter of regret to all Canaanltes and the new editors have opened the columns of The News to the writer to voice that regret and express the com munity's appreciation of all that he has stood for during the six years of his editorship.
 MT. Ro1emeyer thereafter we will simply say "John'') came back to his old home town and took charge of the paper on which he had his first experi- ence as "devil, typesetter, reporter and assistant editor, coming back after having had wide experience and large acquaintance in the newspaper world of Connecticut. He at once put his stamp upon the paper, made 1t an ex. pression of his own genius and he has made The News one of the most quoted newspapers in the state. The Hart. ford Courant, speaking editorially, said:
 ''Mr. Rodemeyer has taken a place by himself in the Connecticut news. paper field, not by reason of what wasn't on his head, but for what was in it. His clever sayings have trayeled through the press of the state and be- yond. He has made The News widely known and, if everybody took the paper who reads extracts from it, it would have big circulation.
 AS a wit, John occupies a unique fo1o thr privilege of inducing him to speak at one of the early Brotherhood suppers and since then he has been in great demand all over the state and else where as witty after.dinner speaker. Twice he and MT. Taft have been the sole speakers at dinners. John was not won't to publish his compliments in The News and probably few knew of the extent of his popularity or the quality of the applause he received from such men a MT. Taft, Prof. Will liam Lyon Phelps, Frederick Palmer, the noted war correspondent and others. In his paper his wit has found it's best outlet in The Wurra Wurra Club which has become a unique in stitution in Canaan, the figment a mans imagination, but a real institu. tiou; and it gave us all lonesome feeling when the sheriff put them all out and posted a "To Rent' sign on the door last week. The clever wit often displayed in this column would have given John national reputation if he had been dealing with national rather than local situations and per- sonalites. His witty promotion of the "Bald.Head Club of America,' has brought hundreds of newspaper write. ups" from Maine to Oregon and Cali fornia. In fact John has given Ca. naan more extensive free advertising ! than any other man has given it.
 Locally he has pushed everything that has been worth pushing. He re. vived the defunct Business Mems Asso. citation and whatever success it has achieved has been due to his work more than that of any other man. In token of their appreciation the men once gave him beautiful loving cup and that cup is still full of the cordial good will of his fellow townsmen who re- gret his going; but who swish him no end of success and hearing for his humor commensurate with his genius
