FOOD FOR FRANCE
Miss Carita Spencer Gives Interesting
 Talk at Parish House.

Miss Carita Spencer, appointed Special Delegate by Ministre Justin Godart, UDder.Secretray of State for France. to collect food in America for the French military hospitals, gave a most inspiring talk in the Parish House last Wednesday afternoon. Miss Spen- cer spoke most feelingly of the terrible need in these hospitals, of the lack of barest necessities of food, the morning coffee without milk, no sugar, which is needed in double quantity by a sick person; and how in many cases good nourishing food is more needed than medicines.
 Who will not gladly give. of their bounty in prosperous America at leas the equivalent of one pound of sugar or can of milk a week to put French soldier back on the firing line and thus save the lives of their own men who are fast going abroad? Weekly subscrip. tions of ten cents each or more may be sent to the Rev. A B. Crichton who will forward the money to the national headquarters of Food for France Fund at 10 East 5Sth street, New York city.
 Donations of home canned fruits, vegetables, and jams, after being thoroughly tested and found liquid tight, will be packed and shipped to the Service de Sante by G. L Parsons and Son, if sent to their store. Money collected is spent entirely for food, as the Committee cares for the small ex- penses, comprising stamps, printing etc. All donations will be promptly and gratefully acknowledged. Let us remember that by helping France at once we can shorten the war and learn the meaning of the word Service. War Scenes shall never Forget, by Miss Spencer, are on sale at Miss Saygers at soc each.

RED CROSS AUXILIARY
Tuesdays Meeting Largely Attended.
 New Work Planned.

Thirty-five ladies were enthusiastic enough for Red Cross work to attend the meeting of the Canaan Auxiliary Tuedsay afternoon.
 Many hands soon produced quanti. ty of congresses, sponges, bags, etc. all ready for shipment. Before the meeting closed 3 cases were packed that con- tained the balance of the work started by the Surgical Dressings Committee. These were forwarded to Boston.
 The knitting of sweaters was dis cussed, and the secretary was in- structed to confer with headquarters to find out whether the sweaters knitted by the Canaan members could be sure of going to the soldier boys from this town. Next week the meeting will be at the Parish House as usual; each lady to bring pair of scissors. as the work for that day will be the making of trench candles from newspapers. The papers are to be furnished so there is no need to bring a supply.
 $ The following are the directions for making the torches:
 Gut inch strips of newspapers, ? columns wide. Roll very tight, slipping n new strip when the preceding one is near the end, keep tight and even. Tie with string.
 Take parafin or ends of candles and melt until perfectly liquid, then put in the torches, and keep them in for one hour and half (be sure the parafin is kept very hot) then take out the torches and stand them up to cool. The string can be removed or not as preferred.
 The dance last Thursday night netted the treasury $19.60. The ways and means committee are planning big celebration for Saturday the 25th. An announcement appears in another column.
 Mrs. J. G. Adam has a quantity wool on hand which she will supply tc those who will knit sweaters, socks etc.

A TWIN LAKES IDYL.

O, the sunrise on & mountain lake In the glorious month of June, Where purple headed mountains breal Through the rosy tint of morn. To float along with merry song In a swift "Oldtown" canoe, Far away from the city's throng Is the life for me-and you. The water lilies bloom at our hand With chalices snowy white, While overhead bluebird band Carol along in their fight. Watch that speckled pickerel jump For daring bottle fly IT you know how to least" your good
 steel rod Your breakfast awaits nearby. Had ever water such silver sheen Or sky such liquid blue? It is fit for you, my sylvan queen, In the bow of your green canoe. So let us float in our little boat To the land of dryad and faun, There is magic in the Berkshire Hills, In the dewy hours of dawn.

The marriage of Miss Della Mitchell of this place to MT. William Dempsey of Salisbury took place at St. Mary's Church on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. J. F. Donohue celebrat- ing High Mass.

PROTEST TO GEN. CROWDER.

In letter setting forth in detail facts indicating the Connecticut's quota in the first draft for. the new national army is greatly in excess of what it should be, the Connecticut State Coun- cil of Defense has written to Provost Marshal General E. H. Crowder "mak- ing a respectful but most urgent re- quest that steps be at once taken look. ing to different and more equitable apportionment Tn ensuing draft levies", and at the same time Strongly insist ing that due credit should be given to the state of Connecticut in subsequent levies for the excess number of soldiers to be furnished by it under the inequi- table and unfair basis of contribution heretofore used".
 The letter contends that justice to this state can be had only by means of a credit to be given when future quotas are levied, this crediT to be equal to the number in excess of Connecticut's fair allotment apportioned to this state under the first draft. The Council of Defense estimates that it's excess is at least 4,000.
 The Connecticut State Council of Defense unanimously voted two weeks ago to send this protest to General Crowder, but inasmuch as it desired to do nothing that might delay the calling of the first increment for the new national army, the sending of the letter was delayed until now.

LIGHTNING FREAKS.

During a recent electrical storm in Lakeville Mrs. Charles Kipp noticed
 one of her husbands horses standing a short distance from a wire fence. The next morning MT. Kipp in harnessing the horses noticed that both forward feet were bare of shoes. A search for the shoes was made and both were found exactly where the horse had
 stood during the storm. Kipp's theory IS that the lightning followed the fence into the ground taking the shoes off tine horse which was not injured. !,

THE NEW MARLBORO LIBRARY.

Great encouragement has been given to the project of building the Carnegie library in Mill River, by the generous gift of MT. and Mrs. W. G. Kair, offer. ing the site of the old store which was burned four years ago, as their contri- button for the library. Some people would prefer to have the store re. built, but as that is not to be, then the site offers immense advantages for the library building, and the gift is worthy of all praise, and ought to encourage additional efforts to make the library a feature of the town.

of the church s history l have been with you. It has been a source of joy to me that Providence has permitted so long pastorate and 1t was kindly Providence, too that called me here to this home of my ancestors. Of the old mother church which stood. on the hill to the east of us my great. great grand father was the first deacon. Quite section of the village is built on land which at one time or another has been in the Gillette family. Hither my father came in his childhood to visit his grandparents, so that the very name of Canaan had an appeal to the family affection. In the history and traditions of the place I have taken the keenest interest. In all that con. cerned the town and village life also have been most interested but deeper than all else has been my interest in the life of this church and affection for all the friends, both young and old, who have made up it's growing circle.
 It has been a source of great joy to me to see the numbers increase to re. ceive myself into it's membership con- siderahlv more than half of those who are now enrolled, several of them being boys and girls whom myself had bap- tized in infancy. 1t has been a source of deep sorrow to me to witness the loss of several of our dearest friends who have fallen asleep''. Few are the homes to which have not minis tered ill some special pastoral, burying the dead, comforting the living, bap. tizing some, marrying others, and welcoming many into the membership of the church.
 Here in your honey and comfortable parsonage has centered all our home life; here were born our two children and here we have received from the many friends every courtesy and deep- ly-cherished expressions of good will and affection. I can assure you my friends. that such ties as these cannot be easily or painlessly broken. But for some time have felt that should not stay beyond my 10th anniversary. l have been considering two calls which have been extended to me one in eastern Massachusetts and the other here in Connecticut. I have now de- cided to accept the one which will keep me in the associations of this state and not very far from the friends in this church. The church in Plain. vile is the one with which have been led to cast ill my lot.
 According to the terms of my call here I am supposed to give this church three months notice but am going to ask you to relieve me in two months that may be able to assume the new duties of the first Sunday of October. make this request feeling sure that the work will not suffer thereby.
 believe greatly ill the future of this church. am happy to think that in some respects it is stronger than when came to it, that it's membership is larger, that it's material equipment is more complete aAd its institutional life better organizet.. I an conscious of some th hings I would like to have seen accomplished and which 1 hope my successor will be able to accomplish. l shall always hear with gladness of future growths and accomplishment and I can assure you that the futuIe of Pilgrim church will always be an ob ject of prayerful interest on our part.
