SCHOOL OF PHOTOGRAPHY
The Clarence White School to Open
 July at The Naples.

Last season the above summer school was held at Stevens farm, East Canaan. This year it opens next Mon day at The Naples in Canaan and will be in session six weeks
 The first summer session was held at Seguinland, Maine, in 1908 and the eighth summer session comes to Canaan. There is also winter course from October to June held in New York city.
 Canaan was selected as a site for the school because of its accessibility on the railroads, as we'll as for the "abun- dance of photographic material, com prising within easy walking distance of the school, farms, rolling uplands, streams, rugged mountains, and archi- lecture of typically New England character. many of the buildings dat ing from colonial times".
 The sessions of the school are to be held in one of the buildings atssThe Naples specially fitted up for the pur- pose with dark room, lecture and exhi. birion room, studio, enlarging room, a printing and work room, running water and electric lights. All the necessary paraphernalia for practical darkroom work is provided.
 The enrolment of the school is about 80, the students coming from all parts of the United States. representing various professions but all at the White Summer School in order to per feet themselves in their chosen art. The school will open July g, to con- tinue in session until Saturday, August IS. The morning hours from 9 to l are devoted to lectures and demon. strations, the afternoons from to 5 are given to the execution of problems.
 Frequent excursions to points of interest in the vicinity are held during the term, affording opportunities for practice with the camera. At the close of the term an exhibi. tion is held showing the Students work. To encourage students to apply photography in various fields open to them, awards are given flor meritorious work.

THE KAISER's PROPAGANDA.

The secret service of the United States deserves both branches of its name; it works and it keeps its mouth closed. But if those public enemies whom it foils and defeats choose to chatter, the service does not always gag them; and so far as is known it has made no effort to suppress the following facts about the kaiser's present propaganda in this country:
 Every German spy and sypathizer is instructed to pick out two men whom he can trust and talk to them after this fashion:
 ]. "This is Wall street war, a war of the interests. (It will be news to most of us that Wall street sank the Lusitnnia and ordered American ships of the seal
 2. "Why should we fight England E battles?" Qgnoring the fact that for the present, at least, England and France are fighting ours.
 S We must stop the export of muni tion and food instantlv". (Thns doing for the kaiser what his expensive fleet and murderous submarines have failed to dol.
 4. There's no need of going to Europe to fight; let the Germans alone till they come over here." The kaiser knows perfectly that three months campaign in the neighborhood of New YoIk or Philadelphia would cost the United States more blood, tears and treasure that two years war in Europe.) ....
 When the two men thus chosen have been ilied to the neck with these "argumenTs'', each of them is to go out and get two more, and so on, ad infini. tum. There are other points in the game of sowing dissension between ourselves and our allies, but those given in quotation marks above are the main ones. When you hear or read such stuff now you know who inspires it, Chicago Journal.

LABOR.

A considerable number of young men from various Eastern Colleges have been placed on farms in the County during the last few weeks. The num- Der of these men who are available seems to be constantly increasing so that it is probable that by the time this is printed all requests for men of this class will be filled.
 The young men are going on farms to "do their bit'. Some of them have worked on farms, some are totally in experienced. As rule they are earnest and intelligent. The reports that have come in from men now at work have been very favorable.
 There is no desire to use these men to supplant labor from regular sources. They are coming here because there seems to be an actual shortage with no one in sight to supply it. Employing one of these men is adding something from the outside to the working power of the County, it is not simply trans ferring power from one farm to another.
 Another type of workers now offered 
 to us, consists of school boys who have enlisted for farm work. These boys, as rule, prefer to go out in groups, either two or three on a farm, or several in a camp. It is planned to locate these camps centrally between several farms that will employ boys. This group plan makes it a little diff. cult to use these boys under the condi- tions of LitchfieId County. If there are any groups of farmers that could use several of these boys the Litchfield County Farm Bureau will be very glad to arrange for the establishment of a camp.
 In one way or another, Litchfeld County is going to secure the labor that is needed on the farms, and, when the season IS past and the costs counted, the crops are going to sell for enough to justify the employment of labor of kinds that we are not used to and at somewhat higher prices than we have paid in the past.

RED CROSS BENEFIT DANCE
Big Crowd in Attendance. Special
 Attractions.

One of the largest crowds lately seen at a darce in the town hall, attended the Red Cross benefit Tuesday night.
 Not only was the whole community largely represented but the summer colonies nearby sent delegations. lS7 tickets were taken at the door and the total receipts were something over a hundred dollars.
 The grand march was led by R. D. Peirce and Miss Helen Adams of New York, followed by H. E. Lyles and Miss Elizabeth Peirce. The ladies wore Red Cross caps with capes and the gentlemen had on variety of fancy caps.
 Between the dances Miss Helen Adams appeared in demonstrations of ballet and interpretive dancing. Miss Adams gracefully executed the difficult movements of the various dances to the great delight of the company.
 Miss May Kegler and Mrs. James Keenan, Jr. furnished the music for the occasion to general satisfaction.
 During the evening the art posters contributed by W. L. Carrigan and Walter King Stone were sold at auction, bringing good prices.
 Credit for the success of the affair is due to those ladies who planned and carried to execution the various parts of the program of the evening.

MANY TELEPHONE CHANGES.

The Southern New England Tele- phone Go. has reorganized its held forces all over the state. Under the new plan the state will be cut into two main divisions instead of five. The ter ritory of the company will be divided into what is known as the east and west divisions. Each of these divisions will be under the direct supervision of a division head who will report directly to the superintendent of his depart. ment.
 The districts which come nader the western division will be what were. formerly the New Haven. Bridgeport and Waterbury districts. The Hartford and New London districts will be under the eastern district
 With these changes comes the retire. ment of c. W. Dow, who has been dis. trict traffic chief of the Norwich dis trict. Mir. Dow, who was the first switchboard operator in the world, has been with the Southern New England Telephone company since its inception and in the business since it was started in New Haven in 1878. He wilk be pensioned.

STRAWBERRY WEEK.

This is strawberry week" according to the market report given out from the headquarters of the Committee of Food Supply of the State Council of Defence The season of highest local production has arrived, however, and those intend. ing to can a supply of this fruit will probably be able to fill their needs at this time easier than at any other time during the season.
 The following is recipe for straw. berry preserves, according to the report: Sprinkle fruit and sugar in layers not over four inches deep in a preserving kettle. using equal weights of each. Place kettle on the stove and bring slowly to boiling point, and boil ten minutes. When it begins to boil skim carefully. Pour the cooked fruit two or three inches deep into platters. Place in sunny window for three or four days, covering the platter with glass. Then put while cold into sterilized jars or tumblers and seal as for jelly'.

NATIONAL FORESTS TO SUPPLY
 FUEL

To meet any possible coal shortage in use of fuel wood from the National Forests is urged by the Governments foresterS. who are advising both raaellers end FaTn q d,9ellcrs sto be fore. handed in making arrangements for the supply of their fuel needs.
 The supervisors of the 153 National Forests will be instructed to afford all possible facilities to local residents wishing to obtain cordwood, which settlers may obtain free for their home use and which is sold at low rates to persons cutting and hauling in order to sell to others. Since the material thus utilized IS mainly dead timber, its re. moval, it is explanied, helps clear up the forest and thus lessens the fire menace. Timber which is insectinfes- ted. or old and deteriorating, or other wise damaged or undesirable from the forester's standpoint, is also disposed offor fuel purposes. The demand in the next twelve months is expected to break all records.
 There is possibility of coal short age because of the increased demand for coal by industrial plants and the lack of sufficient means of transporta. tion. It is believed that it will be quite feasible and economical for many western communities to utilize an increased quantity of National Forest wood for fuel next winter.
 When dead and down timber or other timber which is deteriorating is not available for cordwood, the cutGing of mature living trees will be permitted to the extent necessary to meet de. mands.
 Where sawmills are operating in the woods at points within hauling dis tance of towns, there is chance to obtain slabs and other material that ordinarily goes to waste. Since green or wet wood is both poorer fuel and heavier to transport and handle than dry, mill waste as it comes from the saw is relatively undesirable for imme diate use. For this reason, as we'll as in order to be sure of supply, the Govern nent foresters suggest that good sized woodpile in the backyard or under cover before winter sets in may be found thrifty provision.

AN APPRECIATION
Loving Tribute by One Who Intimately
 Knew Mrs. c. w. Camp.

What shall I say of Mrs. Camp in these first hours of separation from one whom I remember with the vividness of yesterdays life, and whose death fills me wi tn grief that am to see her face no more?
 But death does not rob- our memories, nor lessen the example and insr iration of life we'll spent; so was com- forted, as we laid her to rest in the golden sunlight of last Monday after. noon to feel that, for her friends, there is much of her that will never die. For long, the familiar tones of her voice, the inner vision of her peculiarly pleasant smile will finger to quicken our memories of her very sterling qualities of mind and heart: qualities lovely in themselves, and made more lovable still by her quick sympathies, her unusually social disposition, and her really rare power of enjoyment of life and friends.
 Love for. and sense of duty to her church welled from deep and placid piety, and lent her strength to anwer it's every call upon her. For myself l cannot imagine Christ Church without her. And in the home, who excelled her in loyalty and devotion to the in- teret. welfare and happiness of those she wrought for. 4
 May the happiest dream of all man. kind ot that Better Land, come true to us all at last, as, mayhap they already have to her.
 "We bore to see dear faces pale, Dear voices falter, smiles grown wan, And life ebb like tide at sea Till underneath the misty veil Our best beloved, one by one, Vanished and parted silently. We stayed without, but still could say, Grief's winter 'dureth not alway: Who sleep in Christ, with Christ shall
 rise
 We wait our Easter morn in tears They ill the sm ile of Paradise. "

INDEPENDENCE DAY, 1917.

The following letter by the resident hjfhop, was read from the pulpit of the Methodist church Sunday, by Rev. A. H. Nesbitt:
 At no time since the Civil War has the coming of Independence Day awakened in us such thoughts as must be inspired this year. Tn contrast with thu conditions ot life in other lands this nation for more than half century has enjoyed all the blessings of peace and prosperity. Now the skies are once more overcast, our dearly. bought liberty is menaced, we are at war with the most powerful military nation of the earth. We can neither go back nor stand aside. With the Entente Allies we must advance for the sake of God and humanity until righteousness pre- vail and government of the people re- place every throne of oppression. It is solemn hour in the history of the re. public. We must remember those who in the trenches have beer fighting the battle for humanity and for Us. We must keep in mind the solidarity of the race and give worthy answer to the appeal which the weak make to the strong, but we must remember, also that the victory of the Central Powers of Europe would take from us that very liberty the birth of which we celebrate on Independence Day, to- gether with those institutions that flourish and can flourish only in a land of freedom.
 In accordance with the plan of the President of the United States, would ask that on Sunday, July l, in all the churches the sermons be such as shall deepen our love for country and our devotion to it's defense. Some are still asking, "Wby are we at war;" Let us remember that our cause is just In the conflict democracy has not been the aggressor. It is despotism which has assailed democracy. Our country seeks no extension of territory, but has drawn tue sword in defense of human ity and to the end that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth". Every lover of God must like. wise be lover of men. In this struggle each must do his part. It is in our power to hasten the ending of this world war and bring in the day of peace.
 The issue is sharply drawn. The Methodist Episcopal Church has not failed the nation in any previou con- fiict. Let us give our thoughtful help in practical ways. Let us support the Red Cross in its worldwide work, but let us also in behalf of our country continue to send our soldiers to the field, our nurses to the hospitals and our prayers to God.
 I would ask, also, that on Indepen- dence Day, wherever our people gather, there shall be the worthy commemora- tion of the great events which issued in our independence and the rededica. tion of fortune and of life to all those causes which tend to purify and ele- vate the nations life.

BOOK OF HISTORIC PLACES
Describing Men and Events Prominent
 in New England History.


 New England, as the birthplace of thousands of men and women who, have made their indelible stamp upon the conscience and character of the. whole United States, is SO crowded with historic places, events and charao- ters that few who live within her bor- der are fully cognizant of their heri- tage. In this respect the New Englan- der may be likened to the native Of New York whose country cousin can tell him more about tie places of, interest in that great metropolis than the native had ever suspected existed.
 It is only when the place, events and persons of historic interest are chroni-. cled in compact booklet that the New Englander can obtain full realization or the important part this section of the, country has played in the development of the United States. Such booklet has just been compiled by Herbert Y. Sherwood. and is being distributed by the General Passenger Department of the New York, New Haven and liar c. ford Railroad Company. It IS entitled Historic Places of New England" It contains sixty pages of closely type q records of historic men and events that are of interest to persons from other parts of the county. There are nearly sixty photographs of monumenty and buildings that have a national as we'll as local interest: and there is also e. large map of the New England territory upon which are marked with large red dots the cities and towns of partieul ar interest that are described in tho read ing matter. .t "
