torious conflicts of the past
The summer visitor is now the only in
vader and even he is oftentimes con-
.quered by the beauty of sea and shore.
If he loves the flavor of antiquity, his
fate is sealed and Stonington has add
ed one more to the list Of her con-
quests.
What other Connecticut town was
ever the scene Of an American victory
over the British? Stonington twice
defeated the naval forces Of England;
once In 1775 and again in 1914!
The conquests of the old town were
not, however, limited to battle alone.
The sea was hers, traversed as it was
by her whaling and sealing ships as
we'll as by her passenger packets. The
unknown corners of the earth acknowl-
edged her supremacy, for Stoning-
ton captain was the first to see the
flaming islands, and Capt. Nathaniel
Palmer discovered the Antarctic con-
7tinente
In the world of art, James MacNeill
Whistler was q pioneer spirit, and
Whistler lived at two periods of his
life in Stonington.
After the long series Of conquests,
beginning with the Indian and ending
with the summer visitor, Stonington
now enjoys the fruits of victory. In
peace she sits under her ancient elms,
while the harbor waters lap her shores
and surge beneath the ruined wharves.
It is recorded that Rufus Choate once
said of Stonington that it was the only
place he had ever seen that was en-
tirely finished.
Spirit Of Its Early Settlers.
The spirit that moved Stonington to
defy the British on the Goth of August,
ITS, more than ten months before the
assigning of the Declaration of indie
pendence, was indigenous to the COM
Fmunity. In fact, the earliest settlers
of the region, in 1868, published their
own Declaration of Independence.
After Massachusetts and Connecticut
had united to overthrow the Pequot
Indians, each colony claimed the con-

WELCOME YOUR new Conner
Best Possible Method to Insure Ones
Community Being Noted for Its
HospitabIe People.

Do you want your community to be
noted for it's hospitality? Then the
best way to get such name, is to well
come each newcomer as an old friend,
met after long separation. =
OF course you can't slap the new
conner on the shoulder, saying, "Hello
Jim, old boy, I'm glad to see you back"
No; let US greet them in a different
way.
Instead, let several families in the
immediate neighborhood find out at
which time the newcomer will arrive.
Then let each family decide on some
one or two dishes to contribute to the
strangers first meal. When the hour
agreed on arrives, let each neighbor
send or carry her dish to the new
Corners, as a token Of greetings and
welcome into the neighborhood. -.
In this way the strangers will feel
much more at home than If all the
neighbors had dressed in their best,
and stif1y called in the usual way.

The proof is at your very door.
The following is an experience typ

Pills in Bemidji.
Mrs. J. P. Pogue, SCI Fourth St.,
Bemidji, says: "I had dull pains in
my back and hips for a long time.
MY kidneys acted too freely and al
ways felt worse after I exerted my
self. My feet would swell and my
head ached. I tried different kinds
of remedies without relief. l got
Doan'.s Kidney Pills at Barker's Drug
Store and began using them. Two
boxes cured me and I have had no
return of the trouble"

We Acknowledge Omission.
j. F. Hermann of Tenstrike, in
reporting the result of the Red
Cross drive, modestly informs the
Pioneer that Tenstrike, also took
part in the big Red Cross parade
staged in Bemidji but seems to have
been overlooked He is correct. Ten
strike did take part and made a fine
showing, and. how it happened to be
omitted is one of those unexplain-
able mysteries. .........:.....-5
And just toashow what Tenstrike
is doing to further the government
in it's war work, Mr.. Hermann re-
ports that the allotment for Ten
strike in the Red Cross drive was
5000, which was topped by sub
scriptions amounting to $218.6O.
And in the Third Liberty loan, Ten
strike beat her quota by SO per
cent.

Osborne Puts Welfare Plan in Navy Prison
Ex-Warden ofSing Sing
Now at Portsmouth
Sends Two Men a
Day From Detention
TO Service

<xrr%OM BROWN" is at it again!
Those who are familiar with
= the prison history Of the State
of New York for the last few years will
immediately recognize tom Brown"
a Thomas Mott Osborne, some time
warden of Sing Sing prison, always a
thorn in the sides of the reactionaries
and prohteers of the prison world and
inst now, by the grace of Josephus
Daniels, Lieutenant Commander Os-
borne, u S. N. R., in charge of the
naval prison at Portsmouth.
He has been in the navy since Au-
gust last, at Portsmouth, and in that
lime, as at Sing Sing, he has turned
the prison upside down, shocked the
oldtimers who stand for "iron dis
ne"-whatever that may mean-and
turned what has been described as a
human scrapheap into a great reclama-
ton plant.
Likewise he has interested the Y.
N. C. A. in the lot of the prisoners of
the navy, and in a very short time a
building such as the organization main
tains at the great camps here and
abroad will be in the service of the
men. Pending its erection, Paul Gar
rett, an outstanding Westerner who
GENES to Portsmouth via the training
school at Springfield, Mass, is on the
lob, directing the mems games and as
sisting generally in the work of re-
claiming those headed for the scrap
heap.
Since "Tom Brown" has been at the
Portsmouth yard, the prison popula-
ton, thanks to the war and it's more
rigid discipline and immense amount of
new material in the navy, has become
one Of the largest in the country. Last
Sunday the count was 2,100. In August
it was less than 400. In the mean time
he has turned back into the navy 534
young men.
1--WE are" he told me, sending them
back at the rate Of two a day and we
are going to do better than that.
There is really nothing wrong with

the preponderating majority of the
boys sent here. All that is needed is
a little common sense in treating
them
"And how many of the 534 have made
good since going back to the navy?"
asked.
Gail but twelve" he answered. "Not
all of the credit for this showing be-
longs to US here, however. We are
getting splendid cooperation from the
officers Of the navy, from the Secretary
down. The men who go back into the
service from here are treated just. as
any other men might be-they are
given the same field and no favor, and
they are making good"
Osborne attacked the naval prison

problem just as he attacked the prob
lem of New York's state prisons-by
doing "a bit" in Portsmouth. That
was nearly year ago when the prison
population was very small as compared
to it's present size, when discipline was
spelled with big D. and the naval
prisoner was mere unit
Rules for the conduct of prisoners
were as numerous as slavish following
of conservative prison practice" might
suggest, plus such trimmings as naval
ingenuity might invent. For the safe
keeping Of these prisoners there were
as many bolts and bars as manufac-
turers of patent cages and patent locks
could manage ito unload. There were
cages within cages, and marine guards.

AMERICANS like
FRENCH KlDDlES

The French kiddies love the Ameri-
can Doughboys, and the American
Doughboys are never tired of showing
their friendship and sympathy for
these little children of France. The
thing that particularly appeals to the
American soldiers is the fact that so
many are fatherless and that time and
time again they have been compelled
to leave their homes and Become fugi-
tives before the Hun advances. But
invariably when the reaction comes
and the Boches retire the children in
some mysterious way reappear. Moth
ing apparently frightens them. The
progress of the American legions to
the front excites their admiration, and
they have a feeling of alteration for
the big, strapping boys from the sis
ter Republic across the sea, who never
hesitate to share their "chow" with
their little French friends.
The children of France are charac-
teristically shown in "America's An
swer," the new official Government
picture, which will be presented at the
Normal school Monday evening, Nov.
Is, by the U. S. Division of Films,
Committee on Public Information,
through the World Film Corporation.
