SONG OF the Stalwart.
We know how rough the road In
And how heavy here tho load Is,
And all about the barricadcs that walt
along the track
But we have set our soul ahead
Upon certain goal ahead,
And nothing left from hell TO sky shall
ever turn us back
We know how brief all fame IL
And wo know how crude the game Is.
And We know how soon the cheering
turns to jeering down the block;
But we know tho deeper feeling
That no fate can scatter, reelln9
In the thought that we have battled with
the final ounce In stock,
We sing OF no wild glory here
EmblaEoning some story here
OF mighty charges down the field be-
yond soms guarded pit
But humber tasks, befalling us,
Bot duties that are calling us
Where nothing left from hell to sky shall
ever make us quit.

BASEBALL FIELD FLOWING
 OPPOSED BY PETITIONERS
Parents of High School Pupils Object to Having Grounds Turned Into Gardens.

Awakened to the fact that the to- school committee has voted 10 allo" the high school baseball field to be ploughed up for garden sites, women who have children in the high school started campaign Wednesday, after noon to have the committee change it's decision.
 A petition is to be prepaed and addressed to the committee, asking reconsideration of the vote.
 Mrs. w. r. Rafferty said Wednesday afternoon that she had interviewed Secretary Charles L. Torrey, of the town school committee, relative to the matter and that following this inter view a suggestion to petition the com mittee for reversal of it's decision to turn the baseball field into garden sites would be adopted.
 Mrs. Rafferty further stated that her son, William, had collected from business men and other generous persons in the city and otherwise raised a fund of more than $1OO for the support of the high school base ball team. Men who had given to this fund when interviewed Wednesday expressed their opposition to having the baseball field ploughed.
 It was claimed that the field about the high school building is the only conveniently located and suitable place available for the use of the school baseball team, and that so far as land for gardens is concerned that  city without using the field.
 It is probable that the petition to be presented to the town school commit tee will be ready in short order and that it may be considered at q special meeting of that body.

OBITUARY.

Rev. Francis Clovis Socquet, M. s.
 Rev Francis Clovis Socquet, NJ. S., 50, died Wednesday evening at 7.15 at St. James rectory where he came on April 30 from the Adirondacks> where ne had been receiving treatment since last September.
 Father Socquet was pastor here from December 1895, to May, 1898, and in 1902, after going to Hartford, he was elevated to be provincial in this country of the Missionary Order of Lasalette of which he was one of the most distinguished and learned members. In 1909 he went to Europe and was made assistant to the su perior general of the order which has missionaries throughout the world.
 He was a native of Savoie, France, and was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Jardenier at Sion, Switz- erland in 1890. He came to this country in the summer of 1893. After leaving Danielson in 1898 he became director of the House of Studies of the Order at Hartford where also from 1900 to 1902 he was pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows. He filled the position of provincial from 1902 to 1908 when he was re- lieved of the duties owing to failing health.
 Upon his return from Europe in 1911 he went to Esteven, Sascatche- tember
 A few days ago, realizing thas end was near, he expressed the W to come from the Adirondacks l. Danielson, where he filled his first paStorate

said Wednesday afternoon that q Grow More Food rally is to be held in Putnam next week, but the date had not been selected Wednesday. The time when planting can be done to advantage is growing short, so what is to be done to increase crops must be done quickly.
 The meeting to be held here, it is hoped, will arouse more people to the need of planting, planting, planting. Every garden that grows only as lit tie as is needed to feed a single fam fly gives just that much more sur plus for feeding others and at this time is a real act of patriotism.
 Juvenile Guard.
 At the Baptist church Wednesday evening there was a meeting of the Baptist Mems Brotherhood class for the purpose of organizing a juvenile guard among the boys and others who may wish to join. The Juvenile Guard will model after the Boy Scouts. The boys are to be given in struction under Captain Charles Richardson and Captain w. E. Small ing.
 David Traurie at Bridgeport.
 Word has been received by Put nam friends that David Traurig is now directing garden work for the Fairfield County Resources Mobiliza- tion committed with headquarters at Bridgeport. M. Tarurig has two as sistants in this work. MT. Traurig is the supervisor who was in Putnam for a week doing supervisory work along the same line in which he is now en- gagged.

JOINS AMBULANCE UNIT
Raymond A. Preston Going to France With Other Brown University Men.

Raymond Abner Preston, son of Towrr Clerk and Mrs. Frank T. Pres ton, and instructor at Brown univer- sity, is going to France. He was one of 50 who volunteered to make up an ambulance unit of 33 men to repre- sent the university and he has been accepted.
 Mir Preston, who probably will make a visit to his home here today, expects to leave very soon for the trip to Europe.
 As Phi Beta Kappa man, editor of the Brown Daily Herald and oth- erwise prominent during his college years, and since as an instructor, MT. Preston, who is 24 years of age, has become very well known at the uni versity. The announcement that he is going to France came as a ur.prise to his parents.
 In addition to his college work Mir. Preston has for several years been organist at the beautiful Christian Science church in Providence. He will conclude his duties as organist there with next Sundays services.
 Details as to the nature of the work that Mir. Preston is to do with the ambulance unit and as to the exact date of his departure not known here Wednesday, when it was rumored that other Danielson boys who are stu dents at Brown may have an oppor- tunity to go to France with some hospital or ambulance organization.
