15O CASES OF SPANISH IN FLUENZA IN THIS TOWN Churches and Schools Closed and People Urged Not
 to Congregate

From reports it would seem that the epidemic of Spanish Influenza which is spreading to all parts of the country is on the increase in this town. At the present time there arc estimated to be about 150 cases here. The schools, churches and the nov ing pictures have been closed and the Health Officer, Dr. F. H. Leo urges the people not to gather in public places and use every means to prevent the spread of the disease. There have been two deaths here from the disease in the past week. At Norfolk it is reported that 10 members in one family are afflicted and the telephone service is crippled. In Falls Village 12 per sons living at the hotel are said to have influenza. The railroads and business places are suffering, in many cases, because of the shortage of labor caused by the epidemic. Nearly all the surrounding towns have closed their schools and churches in an effort to ward off the dread disease. ##.
 Mobilization of the full forces of the American Red Cross to combat the epidemic of Spanish influenza which rapidly is spreading over the country was determined upon at Washington and instructions sent to all chapters.
 In cooperation with the public health service and the state board of health, the Red Cross will enroll nurses and will freely use its accu- mulated hospital supplies to fight the epidemic. A call also will be made for volunteers to go into the homes where mothers and housekeepera are ill and assume the management of the household.
 In a further effort to curb the spread of the disease, Surgeon Gen. eral Blue of the public health service suggested to all state health offices that schools and places of amuse- ments be closed and public meetings discontinued in all places where the malady becomes prevalent. Impor- tance of reporting cases also was urged by Dr. Blue.
 Reports today to the public health service showed both that the disease is spreading and that the number of cases reported where it had been prevalent heretofore is increasing. This however, was not the situation in army. camps, the number of new cases reported during the forty-eight hours eding at noon today showing a slight increase. Pneumonia "a the camps continued to increase witk 4,532 new cases and l,3S8 deaths re. ported since Saturday.
 Influenza cases reported from all camps since the disease became epi- demic September 13, now total 167, ,000; pneumonia cases, B7slD2, and deaths 4,910.

EDWARD J. IVORY
Dies of Pneumonia at His Home in
 East Canaan

Edward J. Ivory, age IS, of East Canaan, passed away at his home at 3:3G P. M., Saturday, October 9th. Pneumonia, quickly following infu- enza, with which he was stricken only a few days before, took his life, in spite of all that could be done to save him.
 Character and disposition of the ,cvnG E.&n need not be dwelt upon to those who knew him. Kindness of n"% 70 and willingness to accommo- d,.t2 at all times made for him an unusually wide circle of friends, es- pecially during his term of service as Assistant Agent for the Central New England Railway, at East Ca naan. His untimely death will be regretted by all. Deepest sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved relatives, of whom he leaves his mother, Mrs. Anna Ivory, and two sisters, Mary and Nellie, of East Canaan. The funeral was held at 10 A. M. Tuesday at St. Joseph's church, Canaan, Rev. Father Dono- hue officiating. Pall-bearers were James Wilson, J. c. Sweeney, Timo- thy Sweeney, John Tierney, James T. Tierney, J. L. Merritt.

DRAFTEE STEALS BICYCLE
In Order to Reach Canaan When Summoned to Report for Service

Summoned to Report for Service
 The mystery of the theft of a bicycle was suddenly solved on Mon day when Frank Adams stumbled over small embankment on the Adams place and found himself mixed up with bicycle. On Aug ust 24th Norman Butler was ordered to report to the local Exemption Board and be inducted into service. Apparently he was short of funds for transportation so took a bicycle belonging to some one in Millbrook, N. Y.
 The police authorities of Millbrook traced the bicycle to this place where all trails were suddenly lost and nothing further was found until Monday, when it was discovered in some bushes near the road. The finder will receive a reward for re- covering the stolen property.

ENFORCE GAME LAWS
State and Federal Game Laws to be
 Rigidly Enforced

All game wardens have received notices from the Superintendent of Fisheries and Game, John M. Cramp- ton, that special attention will be given to the enforcement of all fish and game laws, both state and fed eral, New federal appointees from Washington have received instruc- tions from Washington to enforce federal laws.
 When the bag limit under the federal law is less than that of the state the federal law prevails and the same action will be taken in dates and time limit relative to migratory birds. It behooves the sportsman to become familiar with both the state and federal laws before going hunt ing.

DEDICATION OF HONOR
 ROLL LAST SUNDAY
Most Artistic Tablet With Names of Men in the Ser
 vice from This Town

In spite of the lnclement weather last Sunday, the dedication of the Honor Roll was we'll attended. Just as the exercises were about to begin a thunder shower came up which ne. cessitated the hurried retreat o1 those present to the town hall for the space of half hour, after which time the sun again broke through the clouds and the exercises were con- cluded according to schedule.
 The first number of the program called for the singing of My Coun- try Iris of Thee" in which all pres ent joined. This was followed by the invocation by Rev. J. F. Donohue pastor of St. Joseph's church. Father Donohue prayed for the blessing of honor roll and begged that the people of this and every other town would show their patriotism by back ing up these men who have gone forth to give their lives if necessary, for their country.
 After the singing of Keep the Home Fires Burning" Selectman Charles G. Smith unveiled the Honor Roll. The tablet is a beauti- ful piece of workmanship and is the result of the efforts of J. H. Rora- back, H. E. Holt and E. R. Lorrain. The design is very simple and the names of the men in the service are placed in alphabetical order, in black lettering on white strips of wood with background of blue. Ninety-four names are now on this tablet and there is still room for sixty-six names.
 The prayer of dedication by Rev. Arthur B. Crichton, pastor of the Episcopal church was followed with the singing of "God Bless Our Men,. The oration was then delivered by Rev. s. T. Clifton, Ph. D., pastor of the Second Congregational church of Winsted. MT. Clifton is a powerful speaker and delivered most in- spring and timely address which was received with applause time and again from those present.
 MT. Clifton stated that it was great pleasure for him to be present at the dedication of our Honor Roll, and that he would consider it an honor if it were not for the fact that the people had gathered, not for personal glory, but to honor the men whose names appeared on the tablet. We are here to express, so far as we are able, the sense of gratitude and appreciation of these boys. They have honored us by giving up all they held dear and have gone forth at the call of their country. It is one of the marvels of history, said MT. Clifton, that whenever there has been a summons for men to do or die, there have always been men who were ready and willing to give their lives for their country.
 Since the birth of the nation, men such as these have written a glorious page in history. In 1776, in 1865, in 1898 and again today, they have battled for an ideal and have sacri- feed everything for their country. It is this ideal that the nations fight ing with the allies are now begin ming to understand and for which they are fighting. Today it is Amer ica for the world. not America against the worldx We want these blessings for all men, and this spirit of America.
 These men have honored you and me. They are your boys and my boys. This applies not only to those of Yankee stock but to those of every

SMALLEST NUMBER OF
 BALLOTS CAST IN YEARS
Election Day Conspicious by Absence of Any Enthu-
 siasm

Judging by the lack or excitement ment on last Monday, it seems that politics is adjourned in this town at least. Only 159 ballots were cast, which is said to be the smallest num- Der in many years. No vote was taken on the license question and the entire republican ticket was elected by a good majority.
 The town meeting was called to order by Clerk Allyn Fuller at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and J. l.. Parsons was chosen moderator. After the Reading of the warning and the minutes of the previous meeting the usual appropriations were made for town purposes. The Visiting Nurse association and Douglas Library were each given $100 more than in pre- vious years. The appropriations for the schools of the town, after much discussion, was increased to $15,000. It was also voted to take up Rail road Bond No. 16 for $1, 1,000.
 A resolution was passed to the effect that the Town of North Ca naan hereby authorizes it's selectmen to make and enforce such regula- tions as they may think necessary in regard to the parking or stopping of automobiles or other vehicles in the village of Canaan. It was also voted that a committee consisting of the selcctmen and J. B. Reed make some settlement with Miss Elizabeth Fitzgerald regarding the watering of her pasture land. A vote was passed to take $6,0O0 from the town treas ury and make a payment on the towns share of the cost of the new bridge being built across the Housa- tonic river.
 A motion was made by G. w. Par sons and carried that the represen- tative in the next legislature be in- structed to present petition in due form for the purpose of eliminating the present confusion between the name of the town, Canaan and North Canaan.
 The following is list of the town officers and the number of votes cast. Of total number there were 80 straight republican ballots and 57 straight democratic ballots, 21 split tickets and 2 were void. No women voted. ...a. ......... ... .
