 Six members of the State Guard, Company I, have been sworn In ns deputies at the request ef seleetman l Johnson.
 s. s. Gwillin1, chairman of the war 1 bureau, was asked to corporate in this way with the authorities, so that there would be some adequate proteo- l ton at hand in ease any local patriotic l celebration broke out of bounds, and depredations against property were at- 1 tempted
 During recent celebrations an old barn has been set on fire twice the fire ] whistle has blown without authority, 1 calling out the State Guard,~ and 1 church bells rung without permission. 1 It is because of this sort of over- enthusiasm and the desire for protec- tion on the part Of the citizens against future and perhaps greater acts of ] lawlessness that these deputies were appointed.
 In case it is the wish of local pa- triotic enthusiasts to have Q celebra- ] ton on the receipt of good war news, l Chairman Gwillim shoud be asked for
 
 1 has been appointed as the one to de- 1 eide as to the advisa pity for local cele- l brations.
 ' These six deputies from the State Guard are merely to act as protection against lawlessness in case thl7re seems to be any need for such protec- ton. Tn larger centers there is po- lice force on hand to take care of any such trouble. and Plainville was in need of something of this kind.' In case of good war news the local authorities have no objections to pa triotic enthusiasm, but they do object to acts of lawlessness as have oc- cured. Many citizens object to tin horns, drum corps, fire crackers, whistles yelling and ringing of church bells at a. m.
 It is for this reason that Captain TrumbulI at the request of Selectman Johnson and MT. Gwillim chairman called for volunteers from the State Guard to act as deputies.
 Tn case any good news is received, there will be no objections to ringing of church bells for 1 5 minutes or so to let the townspeople know that there is good news.

The canning classes are being conducted as usual by Miss Scoville, but there are only a few weeks left, as Miss Scoville must re- turn to her school. Girls who wish to learn to can fruits and vegetables are advised to join the class i'm mediately
