II LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Would Make Our Land . paraa;..

..rsit .-ls +{. 70
 MT. Editor; While I was reading in one of the Boston papers about the old Bay State having gone, dry the most peautlfu thing of. all to, me was the they must have sounded. especially to the sad hearted mothers and wives, whose sons. and husbands had been made drunkards by the, curse. of rum!
 Would to heaven we could hearthe bells of this and other Connecticut towns peal forth the same good tidings that brought joy to Massa chusetts and other states that have gone dry! What more could we have to make our land a paradise. than that the. curse and evils Of rum be gotten rid of forever Wars would end men with clear ebrains would see things in a clearer flight, blood would not be shed. and lour land would be freed from turmoil
 strife and bitterness.

Did you ever think that tea Is. a a food? Most grown people. recognize it as a refreshing drink and a stfnau- lant, but few realize that it, probably has more red noses to it's credit than whiskey.

One doesn't. have to be very ob- servant to notice that the Christian religion is superior to any rites man has yet assembled to represent it. In the face of constant peril men learn how to pray as they can never else- where learnt and good hearts clean out

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Until China stepped forward with an ultinfatum to the Bolsheviki gov ernment, most of us had almost for gotten that the allies were represent ed in the Far East by anybody except Japan. Now China offers refuge to re- treating Siberian forces, representing the Kerensky regime recognized by the allies. She orders the pursuing Bol- sheviki troops to keep out of Man churia. She hints that if things go much further she may join Japan in program of intervention.-New Hav- en Union.
 The editor of The Citizen printed something in recent issue that a eer- tain man didn't want printed in just the way that he, did it. Horrors. The editor, in his writing for newspapers for nearly thirty years, has always pleased everybody who read his papers, has always looked at things through the eyes. of everybody else, never has been nisinforrned and so inisinfornaed others, and knows but one billiontfi part as much about newspaper writing and editing as his critics do.

and at any weight he might mention.
The contest was at us pounds.
weighing in at 10 a. m. ErtIe was IN
excellent condition. thanks to care
ful training by his handler. Johnny
Salvatore, and the little fellow never
hit harder than he did against VIII
Iams. He caught the KID with
right half upper cut in the second
round and put him down flat on his
back. According 20 the writer's
watch II seconds elapsed before VIII
Hams started 70 get uD. although the
referee NJ that time was counting
nine There may be some excuse for
this because IL is a difficult matter
TO coli of ten seconds absolutely
correct
However, when Williams arose. he
went down again without being HIT
probably from exhaustion. That was
enough 20 dlsqualify him. but he was
permitted 20 go on. He put up a
wonderful fight considering his con-
dltion I'm that round and deserves all
the credit for showing such game
ness. Again in the eleventh round,
Ertle had Williams webbing all over
the ring and OF course IL was a sur
prise when the referee said draw"
If these two bantams get together
