Camp Fire Notes.

The Nishimi group of the Camp Fire spent recent Saturday at the home of their guardian, being conveyed there in sleighs. When they arrived, they went snow shoeing and skeeing in some places walking over the tops of fences owing to the height of the drifts.
 Four girls prepared and served the luncheon, thus completing a require ment for the degree of Fire Maker. Two courses were served at one o clock. It was proposed that the two girls who were the greatest social success during luncheon should receive distinction. The vote was given to "Sonowa" and "Gondoah.
 A friend then instructed each girl in cutting out and making garment for the baby kit to be sent to the north of France. Twelve articles were finished
 When the girls returned from a second -shoeing expedition, sewing was resumed while the guardian read aloud about two of Raphael's pictures.
 Singing and folk dancing concluded one of the most enjoyable meetings the Nishimis have had this year.

"Dave" SouIe's Birthday,

The following from the New Milford Gazette refers to veteran of the old Second Heavies, who attended the re. union of that regiment in Canaan d couple of years ago, and has many friends and we'll wishers here:
 David E. Soule celebrated his seventy eight birthday on Saturday, March 5, 1916 at his home on Main Street, New Milford, Conn. He enter. tained an old friend, Charles H. Briggs, of New York, whom he had not seen for nearly six years, as his friend had spent a large portion of his time in Juneau, Alaska, Texas and New Orleans, La.
 MT. Soule had many calls during the day and received many tokens of remembrance from his many friends guests and also from his wife and children. Sunday afternoon he left New Milford with Bank Commissioner E. J. Sturges, taking the 5:30 p. Tn. train via Bridgeport to Hartford, where his son, Bank Examiner Frank B. Soule, had invited him to spend a week at the Hotel Heublein. They should have arrived there about 9 o'clock but owing to hot journal on the locomotive were over an hour late i'll Bridgeport consequently delaying the train for Hartford. They arrived there at II :35 p. m., and at Hotel Heublein fifteen minutes to twelve, making over six hours to Hartford.
 The week following was one continu- ous round of rest, pleasure entertain ment and eating. Wednesday midday meal was a special one. F. E. Soule, through young MT. Foss, cashier in the Heublein Cafe Ga native of Maine) had written up to his father to send down some lake trout and the result was two nice ones weighing together over 15 pounds. D. E. Soule, the honored guest, found himself surrounded that noon at a large table with company of gentlemen, consisting of Bank Com missioner Sturges, Bank Examiners Soule, Edwards and Bissland, H. P. Boynton and Eugene Foss, and few other friends who drank water. of course" to David E. Soule's 78 years ard days old. The trout were served in elegant style with other eatables to match and all felt that they had done something to the inner man at least and had all tried to make the occasion a very pleasant one.
 MT. Soule arrived home Friday night very much pleased with all the enter tainments he had been to and his whole visit to Hartford with an invitation to come often and more especially on or about his 79th birthday.

ST. PATRICK'S FESTIVITY
Whist, Banquet and Dance to Cele-
 brate the Saints Birth.

The St. Patrick's celebration iu Ga naan consisted chiefly in the whist, banquet and dance in Odd Fellows Hall, Thursday night, March 16. The festive affair was organized by three ladies-Mrs Edward Bates, Miss Margaret Flynn and Mrs. John Graves -in conjunction with certain members of the Knights of Columbus, and to their efforts is due the credit for the gratifying success of the undertaking.
 About 150 persons were present dur ing the evening, and enjoyed every minute of it. Gorman's orchestra, of PittsfeId, furnished excellent music for dancing and during the whist and banquet.
 The early part of the evening was devoted to whist, which was indulged in from until 10 o'clock. The prize winners were MT. E. A. Creevey, first gentleman prize, a stick pin with emerald; Miss Marion Higgins, first lady's prize; gold and emerald hat pins; consolation prizes, MT. Charles Rock, green pig; Miss Nellie Finn, statuette, crop O the Mornin'."
 After the whist playing the company assembled around the banquet tables, where a feast, fit for royalty, was served. It was course supper, pre- pared and served under the direction of the three ladies named above. and was attacked with gusto by all present.
 When the feast was finished, Father Donohue, as toastmaster, after fitting introductory address, presented Father Plunkett. of Sharon, who delighted his hearers with speech replete with the wit and humor for which he is noted, and talked interestingly on St. Patrick, Irish patriotism, etc.
 Father John o. Lynch, former curate here, and now of South Nor walk, was given a rousing welcome when he was introduced. Father Lynch is favorite hereabouts, and is popular with people of all creeds. He made a characteristic speech which kept his hearers in good humor, and gave them something to think about at the same time.
 Following the speaking the dance feature had the floor and dancing was kept up until the wee sma' hours of Saint Patrick's Day in the morning.
 The reception committee consisted oI Misses Emma Kegler, May Kegler, Catherine Mccormick, May Oevine.
 The proceeds-a handsome sum-will go into the treasury of the Catholic Club.

A GOOD THING
Advertising Pays, in Religion as We'll as
 in Business.

m DuSin0SS.
 Dr. Talcott Williams says: "If churches spent as much on advertising as they do on music they would have larger congre gations and better wor- ship" And Dean Williams ought to know!
 After all, why not? If religion is worth while at all it is worth while in play as we'll as in work, in health as we'll as in sickness, at home as we'll as in the church, at the office as well as in the home. If it is worth while in the office it is worthy of the most ir- reproachable business methods.
 The maxim, "It pays to advertise" states principle not only admittedly true, not only acceptedly quite moral, but also one widely heralded as ab- solutely essential to highest conner cial success.
 Likewise, it is a crime, in these modern days, for the officers of a cor poration to jeopardize the welfare of it's stockholders by law, union methods. Omission of proper advertising is an example of such laxity; the ultimate result is ruin and transfer to competi- tive control.
 But, after all, is not Christianity the greatest of all earthly corporations the ministry it's board of directors the laymen it's stockholders, the church it's place of business. the sermon medium of advertisem the devil its keen rival?
 When an advertisement no longer attracts people the cause is usually loss of appeal through either nonotony or lack of virility. The wares may still be of the very best but people need a fresh reminder of that fact.
 Gospel truths are the wares dispensed by Christianity; preaching is one means of advertising them.
 But, how has the church chosen to give to the public variety in preaching? By Nation wide Preaching Missions, more commonly understood by the name, evangelistic revivals. Now, just what is religious revival? It is a special effort to convert souls to God; a concentration of spiritual effort in one place for short time. And upon what one thing does a revival aim to focus it's effort On the preaching; the presentation of Gods message by men whose profession is the study of that message. Who are the missioners coming to Canaan? Two pioneer lead CTS of nationwide reyivals; eloquent prophets, bearing the Lord s credentials, eagerly sought wherever such meetings are held; men who will touch the dominant, supreme note of 20th century preaching; men who preach not saliva tion which begins with the silence of the grave, but 8 salvation operative in human society nova salvation that underlies and guarantees Christian civilization.
 You will be surprised to see how many cobwebs these men can find in the average human soul. Let them tell you how to accomplish a spiritual housecleaning.

OLD TAX LIST
Low Valuation and High Rate of Tax
 Assessment.


 The following letter from MT. John B. Reed, with the accompanying list of old Canaan taxpayers in 1882, will in- terest The News readers at this time, especially, as MT. Reed suggests, in its showing of the difference in the method of arriving at the valuation of the property assessed. The collector was MT. Reeds father, the late John B. Reed, who received his formal warrant from William P. Burrall, Justice of the Peace, father of the first president of the old Housatonic Railroad. The col lector was commanded" to collect the tax, or "distrain" the goods or chattels of delinquents. And for want of goods and chattels whereon to make distress, you are to take the body or bodies of the person or persons so refus ing, and him or them commit unto the keeper of the gaol of the said county within the said prison, who is hereby commanded to receive and safely keep him or them until he or they pay and satisfy the saiG sum or sums assessed upon him or them as aforesaid. to. gether, with your fees, unless the said assessment, or any part there. of, upon application made to the county court, shall be abated.''
 The list shows that the highest valu. ation was on the property of Asa s. Brewster, referred to by MT. Reed, below, the valuation being $368.19.
 MT. Reeds letter is as follows:
 Editor News: Enclosed I hand you an old tax list found among my fathers old papers recently, dated 1882, Town of Canaan. as this is the time of year when taxes are being perfected it may be of interest to your newspaper to look it over and note the progress made at the present day ill the way of increas- ing feller taxes.
 From this list it will appear that it covers only the inhabitants of what is now the Town of Canaan, so they must have had separate list for each society, North and South Canaan, as the old Town was divided into two societies on about the same lines us our two towns are now divided. 1 do not know how they got at the valuation, but evidently not the full valuation of the property was assessd, as the rate was cents on the dollar and the largest tax payer, Asa $. Brewster's tax, was only $I4 72 and the smallest cents and that was abated.
 This list of inhabitants property covers all the property holden at that date, and should you have space h. your paper to print the names anI amounts of their tax 1t would be of in terest to some of the present generation and might assist in the genealogy trac- ing of their ancestors
