 This public market plan is spreading throughout the state, and, we trust, in every town in which it is started, 1t will meet with such popular approval as will warrant a continuance after the war is over.

Died in Scotia, Humboldt Co.,, Cal, Mrs. Martha B. Dickinson. native of Canaan. Born Apr. 2l, 1S43, died Saturday, July 28, 1917. Aged "A years, 3 months, days.
 She recently fell and broke her leg, also fractured the knee cap. It was doing very nicely up to the day she died. She suddenly got worse and passed away at 1915 noon. She was conscious until the end. She had been member of the Congregational church in North Branford, for many years, was always for the right, always trust ing in God, who doeth all things we'll.
 She leaves to mourn her loss her husband, Elmore s. Dickinson of Scotia, Gal, son, Arthur P. Dickinson and one daughter, Mrs. Frank Short also of Scotia, daughter Mrs. Elmer B. Cole of New Haven, Mrs. Scott B. Ohaffee of Deposit. New York. Ihe funeral was held in Fortuna, Gal. i, Aug. |. at three o'clock, burial in Newburg, I. O. o. F. cemetery.
 In her young days she taught school on what was called the Barrack noun. tain in Canaan. She was photographer and was writer of sacred and tenn. perance poetry. We thank the many friends for their kindness and sympa. thy in our bereavement.

that will fool no one, and in reality will but add to the sombre tragedy of it all; for everyone will feel the terrible undertow of sorrow and grief that is we'll nigh overwhelming the hearts of the war stricken. and we beg to ask why cannot we treat the tragedies of life with dignity? Why pretend blatant joy when not even the most heartless feels it? Several times before Gen. Crowder has tried to raise National jollificatlon over war measures. Such as enlistment day, recruiting days, and so on, but without success, the public is not war crazy. His idea is the military, only the harsh, yea cruel war spirit that has neither mercy, pity or compassion on anything, apparently, that doesn't think and feel along mill. tary lines.
 I sincerely hope and pray that the patriots of this town-who are not going to send sons of their own to the war, or rather, into the submarine zone,-will not get imbued with the festive spirit of Gen. Crowder, when the time comes for our Canaan boys to leave (without ghost of chance of ever coming back) the town. We war stricken ones do not ask that the town drape itself in black, and toll bells; there will be no need; Neither will there be need of forced gaiety, or hollow, exuberant mockeries of patriot. ism, nor mock heroic displays of any kind. These Canaan boys of ours know what they are up against. They can be trusted to stand the ordeal without any cfaptrap, or extraneous exhibitions of cheer or forced jollity. And they, the war stricken ones. can be trusted to bear their grief with dignity, yes, even bravery without the aid of Mardi- grass cap and bells performance to help them out. Don't do 1t. fellow towns men. Don't do it.
