SETH r. HASKINS RETIRES
Best Known Railroad Man Resigns After 36 Years Service in Peoria

The following regarding Seth F. Haskins was taken from the Peoria t.(1I.) Star. MT. Haskins is son of the late Seymour Haskins ssof South Canaan.
 Seth F. Haskins has resigned as general ticket agent at the Union Station after 36 years continuous service. His resignation is the re- suit of an accident that befel him last April when he was run down by motorcycle, so injuring his right hip that he has ever since been con- fined to his home, 1906 Columbia Terrace, and is only able now to get about in wheeled chair. In time it is hped that he may be able to use crutches, but the injury is permanent and of so, severe character that he will never be able to resume his acti- vities. sr.
 MT. Haskins has been in the rail road business for 46 years. His first the New York, New Haven 6 Hart ford, back in the sixties. Then he came west and became a conductor on the old Kansas City, St. Joe and Council Bluffs line, now part of the @" system. He came to Peoria in 1882, the year the Union Station was built, and was appointed general tic ket agent, position requiring excep- tional ability and efficiency.
 He has continued in that position ever since and there isn't man in the railroad service who enjoys in wider measure the highest esteem of officials high and low, the. friendship and confidence of all, than does Mr. Haskins. No man as wider ac- quaintance among railroad men, the travelling p;-blic, public men and pri- vate citizens and none more worthy of regard. Railroad presidents and railrad brallemen know and honor Seth Haskins.
 MT. Haskins is one of the half dozen thirty third degree Masons of Peoris and &s promin e1.t in fra .ernal scircles of lilat o-a3r a5 ne is 1T com 'mercial and s2c.a: life. His retire met Un-er tho gaJ rcJmstances of his accident IS >sEiv -rsaliy regretted.

$155,OOO SUBSCRIBED
 FOR LIBERTY BONDS
North Canaan One of First Towns in County To Go
 sOver the Top"

North Canaan has subscribed its full quota of Liberty Bonds and g little more for good measure. This town is one of the first in the county to go "Over the Top" having reached it's quota on Saturday. Sharon and Cornwall have both subscribed their full quotas, but the towns that have not are far more numerous than those who have.
 The quota in every town had been greatly increased and North Canaan's was nearly four times as large as in previous loans. This necessitated much hard work on the part of those who were on the various committees, but every member fully appreciated the magnitude of the task and worked with a determination that in sured success.
 There are approximately 480 sub scribers to the Fighting Fourth Liberty Loan, out of a population of 2,200, which would make the per capita about $52. The per capita showing is fairly good, but when the fact is taken into consideration that there are about 1,60O people in this town, of which number it seems req sonable to think at least one-third could subscribe, it shows that the number who should subscribe is just as great as those who have. The fact must not be lost sight of that while the towns quota has been reached, there still remains many millions in bonds unsold before the national quota is reached.
 The following is a'list of those who served on the various committees connected with the campaign:
 General Committee of the Fourth Liberty Loan-W. s. Smart, chair man; W. B. Brewster, E. c. Finney, N. W. Hardenbergh, W. J. Hatmaker, H. A. Holt, John Bianchi, A. w. Hol- sapple, Robert L.
