he could not get to his newly purchas- ed home over the road. In the winter time the water backs up near the en- trance to his plnce and he said he hsd to break out the ice and pass through several inches of water. A horse that he valued at $500 had broken the liga- ments In its leg on account of . bad place in the road. The horse had to be shot. "I think l have . right to kick" said Mir. Warden. The Brooklyn selcctmen said they had supposed the road in their town had been discontinued as therS is no travel over 1t and no repairs have been made to It In years.
 The Hampton sslectmen said they admitted that MT. Warden should have an opportunity to get to his home over . good road but intimated that they might seek to close ,the road after 1t passed his house as far a the Brook. iyn line.
 Chester K. Child, whose company is drawing lumber over the road, hoped this would not be done. He thought by the expenditure of small amount each year the road could be kept pas sable. He said that fer several months In the year it was impossible for the corn mpany's teams to haul ,lum- Der over the road.
 Mir. Warden thought thst he should be recompensed by the towns for the expense he had been to to get the of. ficials to act.
 After discussion of about two hours 1t was finally agreed thst the towns would divide the expense of the pro. ceeding, that the town of Brooklyn would cut the brush by the roadside and remove some stones, and that the town of Hampton, which had already spent $75 would do little more. With this understanding the compliments agreed to withdraw further action.
 The Brooklyn officers intimated thst notwithstanding the agreement they would proceed with the legal steps to close that part of the rosd which Is in their town.

4OOTH ANNIVERSARY
OF REFORMATION
Will Be Celebrated by All Protestants
of the World.

On the 10th of November, 1888, Martin
Luther was born in humble surroundings.
He was destined to shake the world to
its very foundations in the great Refor-
nation Of which he was the recognized
leader. The age of the great discoveries
broadened the medieval outlook on life.
The crumbling of the feudal system
unsettled the social structure.
Into this seething mass of unrest came
like q bolt OF lightning, Luther's appeal
to the religious ideals of men. 1t unified
the sporadic efforts into one mighty
movement which has since affected one
way or the other every people and every
succeeding generation.
Luther's first attack was made on the
practice of indulgence in his famous IS
theses nailed to the door of the Castle
Church at Wittenberg. October !, 1917.
Soon he insisted that the Bible is the
sole arbiter Of faith. Ont Of that he
salvation by faith and the direct COM
munion with God over and against an
official priestly order.
The movement spread over Europe with
the rapidity of wildfire. The newly-in-
vented art Of printing was impressed into
service to spread the writings of the re-
formers
This great upheaval OF the sixteenth
century. in which Luther was the central
figure. was the birth-hour Of Protestant
ism. Other great leaders took part in
the movement John Calvin at Geneva,
through his brilliancy, dominated the So
called Calvinistic group. Ulrich Zwingli,
working at the same time as Luther, be-
came the father of the reformed group
of Protestant churches. .-,

SHAD FOUND in RIVER
iAUGURS Mild WINTER
Fishermen Say Finding Shad in Poto-
mac Means Warm Weather.

II shad knows anything about wealth
er Washington viii have a mild winter
So why worry about the scarcity and
high price OF coal when shad are still
swimming in the Potomac River? Fish
ermen docking in Washington yesterday
said that when shad are in this latitude
at this time of the year it is a sure sign
that the winter will be moderate and coal
bunkers need not be filed.
Incoming fishermen report that during
the past week many shad got into their
nets along the Potomac. This Is so rare
for November that only the oldest fisher
men can recall a similar occurrence about
forty years ago
In November shad should be running of
the coast of Florida. They cannot stand
the cold and migrate south and horth
with the receding and advancing warm
weather.
Ordinarily not a shad can be found In
the Potomac after August. They have
left for the south and do not come north
until the spawning season. which hap
pens in ApKil.
"A shad has more sense than the aver
ago poor fish OF a land lubber," an OLD
fisherman said yesterday. and there
wasn't any doubt about the sign Of shad
in the Potomac at this time of the year
in the old days. and there shouldn't be
any doubt now. You can bank on It that
this winter will be mild"
Shad have also been caught in the Hud-
son River, where fishermen also believe
in signs" and predict the mildest win
ter for years.
