THE EXTRA SESSION.

The statement was made the other day by Senator Simmons that he knew nothing about an extra session of congress 10 follow the present one. That is of course a matter which rests with the president, who is out of the country and who. it has been intimated in Washington does not want to have a congress which is not of his political inclination on his hands any longer than is necessary. Just what bis attitude on the matter Is is net kncwn
 The fact that he will have to des, with a republican congress after the fourth of next March ought not te prevent the calling of that congress into extraordinary session soon afte: that date for the purpose of meeting the needs of the country, For long time now there has beer an almost continuous session of con. gross. Matters of unusual import, anee have had to be dealt with ara i was quite necessary that ccngres. should be ready to do its Eart.

PREVENT XMAS FIREs.

No one can be said to want to have a fire in his home. and especially Is this true on a joyful Christmas day Xet such is. what too frequently oc- CUTS because of Q failure to ob- serve the proper precaution regarding the holiday decorations which are in yariably of an infammable character and with which candies are too often combined for the pretty effect result irg. Under such conditions it does not require much in the shape of carelessness, playful children or reck : less elders to bring about disastrous results.
 It is therefore well to bear in mind such fire prevention suggestions as the following:
 Do not use candles on Christmas trees. Electric lights are safe if the wiring is properly done.
 Do not use fimsy paper or cotton decorations, and do not use cotton for snow. Decorations should be fire proof
 Do not hang holiday decorations near gas jets.
 Keep a bucket or two of water or 2 fire extinguisher handy to the Christmas tree.
 Do not allow children to hang the lights on trees and do not leave matches where they can get them.
 In other words safety first should be carefully praeticed in connection with Christmas tree celebrations. Il i only requires a little thought and at 1 tention but it saves an untold amount of trouble. The necessity of suct | safeguards is not fanciful. Repeated | are the instances where the failure tt take such precautions has caused no only the destruction of property bu
 much more serious results, and ar ounce of prevention is always worti pound of cure.

comrades, long before the arrival of official announcements from Washing ton.
 Gases are known here in Bridge port such as this one: A man was wounded, retired to the field hospital and then the base hospital spent about six weeks there, was given several weeks more. to recuperate, went back | to his company, took part in further 1 fighting, was again wounded and sent 1 to the base hospital for the second l time-and all this known to his par l ents by means of correspondence with 1 the man and his eemrades-hefore the announcement of the first wound had
 come through the official channels at 1 Washington.
 Such a handling of the casualty sit
 nation in the War Department at 1 Washington is bad business, bad psy-
 chology and the cause of 50 much uf- necessary pain to so many people that it ranks as an unforgivable offense.- 1 Bridgeport Standard American.
 The two million odd soldiers in
 this country who longed to strike
 a blow at the Huns on the fighting lines but were so unfortunate as not to get across can feel sympathy with Maj.-Gen. Leonard Wood who was left out of the war by the demo-
 cratic administration in control oi

gress are going to grow less 30 rapid- ly that there will be no need for 1t to deaLwith the matters whlch should be presented to it at once.
 The fact is that congress is going to be needed to take up the leglsla- ton surrounding the readjustnnent just as soon as it can. There are matters pending which ought to be handled at this session but it will be too short, There will be- the matter of passing upon whatever peace treaty is signed. there is the railroad situation and other things of like irn- portance which ought not to be de- iayed and certainly there should be TO thought of getting along without an extra session just because the people of the country have seen tit [. change the control.

CHRISTMAs DAY.

This Christmas day. the anniver- ssry Of the bringing of tiding5 of great joy. finds us facing q markedly different situation than that of year nEo. Instead of being involved in the worlds greatest war we are steadfastly looking forward to just and permanent peace. g peace which will make the world better and bring about q deeper sense of appreciation CT that message Of Peace on earth, good will toward men,"
 Much has taken place ill the past twelve months. Men who were in training 8 year ago have since gone overseas. Others have been called to take their places and were ready to go. Of those who crossed thousands have made the supreme sacrifice and still greater number has undergone great sufrorings. but it was through such courageous ard unsel1sh partici- patton in the fight for right that we are permitted today to view again with joy and gladness the outlook for the future.
 There has been contest between might and right such as the world never experienced before. such as il never wants to experience again. Tho long. bitter and happily ended strug- gle has taught us anew the meaning of peace. It has shown us that it i. the foundation upon which the worle of the future must be based. Had tho message which has come down to us through the centuries received tkC consideration that 1t should have th' bloody and terrible war would nevel have been started.
 Right, has however, triumphed ant on this Christmas day we have req son to give expression to our thank fulness for our deliverance and jo, ut the fact that we are looking for ward to peace rather than strife.

As he went up the walk he thought l Of the many generous checks sent to Molly to keep the old home in repair. Entering the wide hall. instead Of the ! laughing sister cuAing to greet him he looked upon boyss boys seemed to be everywhere. Some were on ladders hanging greens. others were banking the big fireplace with frs and pines, and his startled exclamation Of sur prise brought them to their feet
 t'Where is Mrs. Fenton." he inquired of 8 group nearest the door. Don't know; but probably Miss Pebble does. Here she is coming in now" and one of the boys was off to the door holding it open as a young
 woman entered. She greeted them with 9 merry laugh and then became aware of the man Standing there. . Miss Bobbie,v he said; Surely not l litties Robbie SheidonT'
 Why yes" she replied, wonder
 ingly.
 Well, I am Jack Douglass" j, Jack Douglass" she exclaimed, l with a glad ring in her voire. He took 1 the hand she extended in both of his and held it until the wondering look
 on several small boys faces made him 1 crop if in haste.
 l Robbie broke the silence. | 11lS IS LiOSL G6El q SUTilIlSG, 1 and no doubt you are wondering what 1 has happened to Molly. She wrote l to you as she left for the west week ago. Her husband was offered a bet ter position, so she went, leaving the 1 keep of the house in my care, also permission to have the tree for my Sunday school class here. She did not have the least idea of your com fGg. And low"- She paused.
 Jack saw fhe look of disappointment
 pass across her face,
 Now" he continued, you will have
 it just the same, only may be one of the boys?'
 l She laughing1y assented and he en-
 tered with zest' into the work. Soon | the old house blossomed forth gayiy
 under it's wealth of Christmas green erA '@ , All thoughts of the absent MeiN were banished for the time being a. l Jack had the big box of toys sent III
 to be opened for Bobbie's eager -eyet l pupils.
 , Christmas day dawned clear 'ant , sparkling. Snow had fallen the da! . l previous. and as evening approaches ] the old house echoed with fun ant
 laughter.
 l ] Jack, in his role of Santa Claus, dis 2 tributing presents from the big tree s was greeted with joy and applause. , Robbie, watching the delight on tn s faces of her small charges at thi e pleasing and unexpected ending of he
 l Christmas plans, whispered her thank 8 and gratitude to Ja ok as the last to n was taken from the big tree and tn h children gathered around to sing tn e old songs she had taught them
 = &s g Six months later he voiced tn s words that were trembling on his lip k that Christmas night. Among tt a June roses in the old fashioned gar n den he asked the old, old question,
 Love YOU, Jack?'' Robbie tremu e leusly replied, why I have alYay . loved you. ever since the days yo y used to swing me on the old gat Il when you were the big boy I love J. best of all."-Boston Post.

WHY NOT SHEEP cLuHs7

Tn response to the demand for the raising of more pork and likewise for the purpose of keeping the young peo- -ple interested in matters connected with the farm. organizations of boys and girls have been perfected throughout the country witk the idea in view of meeting the situation. In connection with the pig raising plan it shows what can be done when it is announced by the department of az riculture that there are now more than SO.009 boys and girls In the United States enrolled in pig clubs through such influence as it and the many state agricultural colleges have been able to bring to bear Fun may Flay its part but they are not engaged in it solely for that reason. They are ambitious 10 do as their elders do They want to do things themselves md show great pride in their accom- plishments, and the earnestness ot their undertaking is disclosed by the feet that II per cent. of the reportins members of these organizations arc raising pure bred pigs. They want te do something worth while and in do. ing it insist that the best is none toe geod.
 Y Interest in gardening and cannins is being developed in much the same manner and the results are certainl, eommendable. But with the deman( .Ehich there is for wool and mutton and with the opportunities which ex ist for increasing the number of sheer in the country. it would seem as 1 3imilar attention ought to be given {, ihe establishment of sheep raising or 7anizstions. There is certainly req son to believe that juvenile efforts cal be made to bring about excellent re suits in this direction, and certaini- there is no state where it ought t get mere encouragement than righ here in Connecticut.
