URGES PEOPLE TO
 BUY LIBERTY BONDS.
Every Dollar Invested in Them is an
 Investment in Democracy.

Every dollar invested in liberty bonds is an investment in democracy" said Gov. Marcus H. Holcon1b in a statement made Wednesday urging the people of Connecticut to buy these war bonds and help put this state in the first rank for amount per capita loaned to aid the cause of world freedom through the purchase of liberty bonds The ciergymen of the state are urged by Governor Holconfb to bring the loan to the attention of their congregations from their pulpits.
 The governors statement follows:
 Every loyal person should as far and in as large amount as is possible, purchase the liberty loan bonds. To do so is a practical expression of loy- atty, and every dollar so invested is an investment in democracy. If it ap- pears that Connecticut is the largest investor per capita in these bonds, we shall have reason to be proud of our state.
 'Tn order to bring this loan to the attention of everyone, some states are asking their clergymen to place the matter before their people at their ser vices. I think that is a fine idea and I take this means of requesting the clergynen of our state to take the same course"

PL,AINFIELo GRANGE.
Flower and Vegetable Gardens Were Considered at Meeting This Week.

At the meeting of Plainf1e1d grange Tuesday evening the lecturers pro- gram was in charge of Worthy Flora Evelyn A. Hall Jr. The program fol- lows Song No. 54, by William Ex.ey, Rev. Arthur Barwick, Walter I-atfrop, Ruth Maddock and Mrs. Evelyn A. Hall; reading, Grandmother's Garden, Ella Gardiner. The topic for the even ing was Us 1t worth while to spend time on flower gardens when there is so much need of vegetables ?''
 Rev. 3If. Barwick spoke first, saying that he did not think people in Plain field spent much time on flowers. At least he had not seen many flowers in church to show that they did. Things are dark and gloomy enough at best not to think time spent on flower gardening was wasted. While vegetables are of va-ue to eat, they do not make for pleasure that flowers do.
 The singing of America followed. Jason Iathrop spoke next, saying that while he could raise vegetables better than flowers, he thought that flower the vegetable gardens. for those who worked the flower garden seldom did much around the vegetable garden.
 Reading, Counting Eggs, Miss Ruth. Maddock. Edward Hall was the next to speak. He thinks flowers are of great value in bee raising. he-ainging of the Star Spangled Banner closed the lecturers program
 The grange voted to send someone to Storss college for a one week can ming course this month, so that public lessons might be giverf later in the year.
 The next meeting, June 18th, Pa c11aug grange will have charge and give the program.
 There will be a speaker for July Sd. who will speak on a subject of interest to everyone. The meeting on that SNe will be public.

SAVE DAD'SLIFE
 CETIT FOR HIM
SAYS IT IS SUICIDE TO CUT coRNs AND TELLS HOW THEY
 LIFT RIGHT OUT.

You simply say to the drug store man. Give me q quarter of an ounce of freezone." This will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from ones feet.
 A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn should relieve the soreness instantly, and soon the entire corn, root and all. can be lifted out with the fingers without pain.
 This new way to rid ones feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that while freezone is sticky it dries in a moment. and seems to simply sf1rivel up the corn without inf1aming or even irritating the sur rounding tissue or skin.
 Don't let father die, of Infection or lockja.w from whiting at his corns, but cut this out and make him try It.

thrown together and handsomely dec
GRATED with palms and ferns. In the liv-
ing room were an abundance of white
roses and an improvised altar of palms
and ferns. Above this altar hung a
white wedding bell. On each side were
tall candelabra and back of it on re-
destals were tall vases of white roses.
The folding doors were framed in smilax,
forming the frame of the picture dis
played when they were opened and the
tableau wedding displayed.

sang, Give Me Your Smile" which was
followed by violin solo, "Humoresque, .
by her brother, Joseph Smith.

lovely in a suit of reindeer chiffon valour

ment for the gold that they contain
and don instead iron rings. Nor need
we offer pieces of jewelry that we real
ly cherish. But we all of us have odds
and ends of old gold and silver that we
shall never use and that it is not all
likely we would ever sell for old gold.
At we'll planned church bazaar re-
Gently held, the proceeds of which were
to be spent in supplying comforts for
the hundreds or SO young men of the
parish who had gone to the front or
were about to go, there was an inter-
esting iron kettle suspended on three
crossed poles like a witchs cauldron.
There was wire netting over the top and
into it the people who attended the fair
were requested to drop articles of gold
or silver for which they no longer had
any immediate need.
After a few hours this kettle held a
very interesting collection. There were
napkin rings galore-bent, furnished and
dingy-looking enough-but each one con-
tanning enough silver to be we'll worth
selling for old silver. There were broken
locket chains and broken lockets, and
occasionally an old ring and settings
their precious stones to be placed in
more modern settings. There were odd
earrings and a few old watches that
were past all usefulness at watches
There were plated silver dishes and
table ware. Perhaps some of these con-
tained precious metal for which the
dealer would be willing to allow but a
few CENTS but there were so many of
them that they were worth collecting

But the costliest gift may not gladden.

Nor help on the merry bells ringing.
Some getting is losing you understand;
Some boarding is far from saving;
What you hold in your hand may slip
from your hand;
There is something better than having;
We are richer for what we give;
And only by giving we live.
Your last years presents are scattered
and gone;
You have almost forgot who gave them;
But the loving thoughts you bestow live
on
AS long as you choose to have them.
Love, love is your riches, though ever so
poor;
No money can buy that treasure;
Yours always, from robber and rust Sc
cure,
Your own without stint or measure.
1t is only love that we can give;
1t is only by loving we live.
For who is it smiles through the Christ
mas morn
The light of the wide creation?
A dear little child in a stable born,
Whose love is the world salvation.
He was poor on earth, but he gave us
That can make our life worth the liv-

And happy that Christmas Day we call
That is spent for his sake, in giving.
He shows us the way to live;
Like him, let us love and give.
