When You Have a Cold

1t is when you have a severe cold
that you appreciate the good quail
ties of Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
Mrs. Frank Croker, Pana, ILL.,, writes:
"Our five-year-old son Paul caught a
severe cold last winter that settled on
his lungs and he had terrible cough
ing spells. We were greatly worried
about him as the medicine we gave
him did not help him in the least A
neighbor spoke so highly of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy that I got a
bottle of it. The first dose benefited
him so much that 1 continued giving
it to him until he was cured"

Incentives.

Up to the present time politicians
and philosophers have not dreamed of
rendering industry attractive; TO en-
chain the mass TO labor, they have dis
covered no other means, after slavery,
than the fear of want and starvation !;
If. however, industry is the destiny
which is assigned TO us by the crea-
tor, how can we think that he would
wish to force Us to it by violence, and
that he has no notion how to put in
play some more roble lever, some in
centive capable of Transforming its oc-
cWatinn into pleasures CHARLES

 SOLEMNIZED WEDNESDAY
Beaupre-Mc cCormick and Swee- ney-Flynn Nuptials at St.
 Joseph's Church

Two pretty weddings took place at St. Joseph's church early Wednesday morning. The first took place at seven o'clock, when Miss Catherine Gertrude Mccormick, daughter of MT. and Mrs. James Mccormick of Barlow street, became the bride of Tracy Harold Beaupre, son of MT. and Mrs. George Beaupre of Glens Falls, N. Y. The ceremony was per formed by Rev. J. F. Donohue, pas tor of the church and nuptial high mass was celebrated.
 The bride was prettily gowned in white satin with hat to match and carried bouquet of Brides roses. The bridesmaid, Miss Elizabeth Me Cormick, sister of the bride, was gowned in sand-colored satin with black hat and carried red roses. The brides travelling gown was of dark blue poplin with black velvet hat. James W. Mccormick, brother of the bride acted as best man.

SALE OF LIBERTY BONDS
 IS SLOWING UP HERE
Total Number of Bonds Sold About $95,o0O. Still Far
 From Quota

The sale of Liberty Bonds seems to be tagging in this town, only $5,000 in bonds being sold during the past week, according to an esti- mate of the chairman of the Liberty Loan committee. If these figures are correct, this town is still long distance from it's quota and there is much hard work in store if we wish to have another honor flag flying from our flag pole.
 Connecticut towns and cities everywhere are manifesting a lively interest in the awarding of the honor flags which signify that the quota of the Fighting Fourth" Liberty Loan has been exceeded. One of the principal objects of this general distribution of honor flags is to stim- ulate individual subscriptions to the loan and also to exercise the addi- tional stimulus which comes from public announcement of that fact.
 The distribution of these honor flags throughout every county in Connecticut is in charge of Robert B. Newell, vice president of the Fidel- ity Trust Company, Hartford, who was recently appointed honor roll chairman for Connecticut. Today two small lettered honor flags were placed in position in the Capitol and at Liberty Cottage where the Hart ford outdoor sale of Liberty bonds is being conducted. On this honor roll appears the name of every city and town in Connecticut. As soon as town attains it's quota that fact will be signified by means of small Fighting Fourth" Liberty Loan flag, which will be placed opposite the name of the community. For each additional 50 per cent, subscribed, another flag will be added.
 Each day as a town sells its quota of bonds, the fact will be telegraphed to MT. Newell by the Federal Re- esrve Banks in New York and Boston. Immediately afterwards, the honor flag Till be sent to the town which has gone over the top", and the small honor flag will be placed on the honor roll.

HILBERT MARTIN
Dies ln Great Harrington Hospital
 After Brief Illness

Ebert Sprague Martin, aged 30 years, died aS the Fairview Hospital Great Harrington, Friday night at 2 P. M. of pneumonia. He had been employed as caretaker by Judge A. T. Roraback for the past four years and had gained the esteem of all who had come to know him on account of his extremely courteous and honest character. Bert was a gentleman, everywhere and at all times.
 On April 5th, 1917 he enlisted in the Home Guard, and since that time never missed single drill; he made it practice to be present, al- ways punctual, ready and willing to obey and respect his officers and as he had always lived so he died, a true and faithful soldier, never shirking or evading duty.
 When the present draft came he was extremely downhearted when in formed that he could not be held for general service but would have to be held for limited service on account of his poor teeth. He always de- sired to go into active service to fol low his two brothers and sister who are nv engaged in service in France. He at his own expense had his teeth fixed so that he could go when his call came and was expecting to go sometime during this month. He attended the Great Harrington Fair on Thursday and undoubtedly con- tracted Spanish Influenza which de- veloped into pneumonia.
 His body has been placed in the receiving vault at Great Harrington and will be buried when his mother and family have recovered from their sickness. Besides a host of friends Bert is survived by his mother who lives at Sheffield, two brothers in service in France, sister who is a Red Cross Nurse in France, a sister who lives in Waterbury, a sister who lives in Pittsfield, a brother Everett Martin in Canaan and another brother now living at home.

MARKETING WHEAT TN ''---
 LETCHFTELD COUNTY
List of MiIlers Where Wheat Can be Sold or Ground
 for Farmers

Connecticut farmers have grown nearly four times as much wheat as
 is normally produced in the state and
 now they are asking the Food De- partment almost daily how to dispose
 of this grain and yet keep within the rules and requests of the Food Ad-
 ministration. In a conference to- day at the Food Departments Hart ford headquarters, it was decided that the best solution was the licens- ing of millers. Under the rules any farmer can have as much wheat milled as is required for his own needs for a year. He is privileged to demand whatever bran results from the milling of his wheat and the miller should charge the farmer 35c a bushel for milling instead of talk ing toll of the wheat.
 The Food Administration does not undertake to control the wheat so long as it is in the hands of the origi- nal producer. The trouble lies in the fact that farmer who did not grow any wheat is not permitted, under the rules, to buy an excess grown by one of his neighbors and then have this wheat milled; but millers can, by taking out license, buy this wheat from the farmers, mill it and sell the flour to their customers. There is no charge for a license. In order that the state may be thor oughly canvassed in this respect, County Agent Leader, I. c. Davis, has assured the Food Department that he will put into the hands of every county agent in the state, ap- plication blanks and also a county list of mills that have not taken out a license
 In the use of substitutes, farmers, a preferred or favored class. On the other hand, when a farmer ex- changes wheat for a years allow ance of flour small country mills cannot always supply substitutes, and if they could, the substitutes might spoil. Under these circum- stances farmers can get their flour from the mill by pledging compli- ance with the rules. If the farmer has grown his own substitutes he is not required to buy others.
 The following is a list of the mills in Litchfeld County, where wheat may be sold or ground:
 J. G. Fritz, West Cornwall.
 Leonard A. Coe, Riverton (has bolt).
 Frank J. Kilborry, Washington Depot (has bolt).
 Chas. L. Gold, West Cornwall.
 The Salisbury Mills, Salisbury. x The Red Mill, Ashley Falls, Mass.

Red Gross Notes

On account of present conditions the Red Cross rooms were closed on Tuesday and Wednesday and will be closed on Friday of this week.
 The drives for Refugee Clothing was most successful, proving again that Canaan never turns a deaf ear to the calls for help. Also that willing hands are always found to do the necessary work.
 1445 lbs. which included 1186 gar ments were contributed.
 It is impossible to print the entire list but the following will give some ideas of the really splendid response to the call: 10 mems suits, Il pairs trousers, IS coats, 19 vests, wom- ems suits, 51 women's coats, AZ short coats, qIilts, ' blankets, 1I4 pairs shoes, 10 capes.
