GOD AND WE

1.-THE Lord Christ wanted a tongue
one day
To speak a message Of cheer
To a heart that was weary and worn
and sad,
And weighed with q mighty fear.
He asked me for mine, but twas busy
quite
With my own affairs from morn till
night.
"The Lord Christ wanted 8 hand one
day
To do loving deed;
He wanted two feet on an errand for
Him
To run with gladstone speed.
But had need of my own that day;
To his gentle beseeching answered
'Nay!'
80 all that day I used my tongue,
My hands and my feet as I chose;
| said some hasty, bitter words
That hurt one heart, God knows.
| busted my hands with worthless
play,
And my wilful feet went a crooked
way.
And the dear Lord Christmas His
work undone
For lack Of willing heart?
Only through men does He speak to
men?
Dumb must he be apart?
! do not know, but I wish TODAY
! had let the Lord Christ have His
way" Anon.

PIG CLUBS
Applications for Membership Coming
In.

There have been about fifty apph-
cations for pig club membership re
ceived at the Office of the Assistant
County Agent. Considerable interest
has been taken in this work by the
boys and girls of Windham County.
Where pigs cannot be obtained by
the child they will be furnished at
cost by the Farm Bureau. The First
National Bank of Putnam has also
consented to finance those boys and
girls who cannot obtain the funds for
buying the pig.
In raising pig the boys and girls
can help out quite materially in filling
the gap caused by their big brothers
going to war If pig is raised to the
weight of two hundred pounds by a
boy or girl it will furnish enough fat
and meat for two soldiers for one
year. The children can do a large
"bit" by raising a pig.

for the kitchen and our own tents
On nice days we have two hours drill
ing, one hour physical exercises and
six to eight mile hike twice a week.
THE officers are very kind and treat
Us nicely This camp is not as big as
the Kelly field aviation camp, as it is
only an addition to big National
Guard camp, but we like it much bet
ter as 1t is more sanitary and less
sandy. Our tents have floors, walls
four feet high and an electric light,

WOMAN KILLED At
DAYVHLE CROSSING
Mrs. Henry Marchesseault Is
Dashed Against End of Day
vile Station When Train
Hits Auto.-Died Instantly.
Grin Alvord, Driver of Car, Serious
Iy Injured.-Win Recover.

The grade crossing at Bayyitie
damned another victim Saturday eve
ming when the south bound boat train,
running late and at a high rate Of
.need, crashed into a Ford touring car
driven by Orrin Alvord and carrying
Mrs Henry Marchesseault as a passen-
GER When the engine hit the auto
Mrs. Marehesseault was thrown l00
feet through the air and her brains
dashed out against the north end OF
the Dayville railroad station. Alvord
was thrown with the car against
telephone pole and was SO tangled IN
the top of the car that it had to be cut
away in order to free him.
The crash of the collision was
heard in the village and people ran
from all directions to give what aid
they could. 1t was seen at a glance
that the woman was dead, but the
man was taken to a drug store and
later removed to his home. The en-
gineer of the train did not know that
he had hit anything and, as the train
does not stop at Dayville, it kept on
to Danielson. 1t was not until the
train reached Norwich that the tram
crew learned Of the fatality
Mrs. Marchesseault and Alvord are
neighbors in Dayville Mrs. Marches
seault received word from a niece IN
Brooklyn, who is in delicate health,
asking her to come and stay with her
Alvord volunteered to take her there
and they were just starting when the
accident happened. 1t was showing
and the sides of the car were down
and it is thought probable that Alvord
thought the train had passed.
Mrs. Marchesseault's forehead was
crushed in. she had number of scalp
wounds, right jaw and arm broken.
Alvord was cut about the head and
his back was injured. He regained
consciousness but could not remem-
Der a thing about the accident and
could not tell who was with him. He
will recover.
Mrs Marchesseault has five chill
dren and they are we'll known in Put
nam.
The funeral service was held In
Dayville, Tuesday morning.
