AS new reasons for the raising OF
subscription rates are added in rap.
id succession to those that have ex
listed for the past two or three years,
many publishers in all parts Of the
country are taking the step which
they now see to be inevitable. The
advancing costs Of production were
sufficient to force the raising of sub
scription rates, but many publish
ers seemed to prefer to take their
losses and wait for possible reduc-
tons in prices before boosting their
rates. Instead Of reductions, how
ever, further increases came in the
cost of almost everything that enters
i nto the production Of q newspaper.
Then came the new zone postal rates,
bringing an increased postage charge
which, though slight in itself, was
sufficient to convince many publish
ers that the time for raising rates
had come.
Then, last Of all, came the request
of the government that all publishers
effect saving in the amount of
paper consumed. Weekly papers are

Publishers are recognizing the fact
that the raising Of the subscription

If the attendance continues to
increase every night as it did
last night Captain Laurin will
either have to divide his recruits
into separate units or else take
'em all out into the street. At
last nights military training

ed the Officer had trouble in
manouvering the men to pre-
vent them falling over each
other. He announced at the
close Of the drill that all future
recruits would be, trained sep
arately from the advanced
class" and thus avoid further
congestion. Captain Laurin said
he was very much pleased q
well as surprised at the great
interest displayed. Instead Of
the squad Of men he expected to
drill he has an army" on his
hands.
The men who were there the
first night assumed the attitude

 Long List of Honor Pupils.

The Academy of the Holy Family,
 Baltic, held it's forty third commence
 ment Thursday morning.
 The exercises consisted, as usual, of
 solemn high mass with the pastor,
 Rev. J. V. E. Belanger, celebrant, Rev. U. O.. Bellerose of Taftville deacon, Rev.FJ. J. McCabe of Jewett City sub-
 deacon, Rev F. R. $. DesSureault of Occum master of ceremonies. Sixteen students whose names fol-
 low were graduated from the high
 school and commercial departments. There were also five graduates of the

 Sermon by Father Merrissey. The baccaiaureate sermon by Rev.
 R. F. Morrissey of Voluntown was a
 spendid exposition of the benefits Of
 sound moral training for character
 above and. beyond mere mind train- ing.
 Father Morrissey congratulated the
 graduating class upon the special op- portunities which they had enjoyed at 1 the academy. He told them how much the world expected, and had alright 1 to expect, from young women sent ! l serious duties life would hold for 1 them; that the world, sorrowing in the l throes of this awful war, needed them l to help to bring back to right ur- derstanding of life's best aims, the | people, gone so far astray in their lusts for conquest and dominion 1 though these latter were won over the | shattered homes and desolated lands of brave men who might oppose such 1 aggression.
 Types of Noble Women. i The preacher dwelt upon the great i women who had figured so brilliantly
 as the mothers of great Catholic men and saints; on the great work of the
 sisterhoods in training the youth, an i how loyalty they, the class of 1913
 must stand for the high principles of right. and justice, for which all true I. Americans are ready to fight, and, if 1 need be, to die. & l They must hold it as a duty to do all in their power to promote the well
 fare of their church and country. 1 Honers Bestowed. After the sermon the distribution of
 medals and diplomas took place, the students and large assembly of friends | taking keenest interest in the awards. l List of awards:

Danielson is one of the pret- tiest towns in southern New England and it easily can be made one of the cleanest if only little time and at- tention is given.
