YOUR DUTY
WWM.

7,lorth Canaan is not tagging to any great appreciable extent in the Victory Liberty Loan. even though many had an idea it would It is true that the bonds are not selling as fast as in other campaigns though the rate of interest is higher and the duration of the bonds only four years. There is good reason for this, however, but the conditions are not considered alarming.
 The Fifth Liberty Loan offers something besides a safe investment which the majority of people first consider before placing any large amount of money. It offers a gilt edge investment at rate of interest which has proven decidedly attrac- tive to hundreds of investors who had many thousands to invest. It has proven 50 attractive that hun dreds of towns have more than subscribed for their quotas and the eitv of Hartford has oversubscribed is a4ota by $4,O00,oo0!
 These facts regarding other places should influence to so-.le extent th2 people of this town who hesitate about buying bonds. It should prove to the family man that it is k;s duty to buy all he can of sthese Bonds, not only for patriotic reasons, which we know should come first, Btt because he is safeguarding his family by making his money earn more than it ever did before. It is eyeryone's duty to help the soldiers who have been wounded and crippled. That is what the greater part of this loan is for

FUEL SUPPLY OF
 FUTURE ON FARM
Many Communities Finding 1t Necessary to Go Farther Back
 for Their Wood.
SHOULD PNCvlDE WOODLANDS
Not Desirable to Use Good Asricul- turaI Lands, as Inferior Spots Will Grow Sufficient Amount for
 Each Years Needs.

CPrepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 Communities in wooded regions should not depend on the chance growth of wood for their future fuel supply. Already many communities. especially in the Northeast, are finding it necessary each year to go farther and farther back for their wood, or to cut smaller trees each succeeding year, because the available supply of stand ing wood is too small to allow the trees to grow to the proper size be- fore they arc cut.
 Must Provide Woodlands.
 The time will come-and soon in some regions, the foresters say-when it will be necessary to set aside areas to produce wood, and to manage them for maximum wood production in the shortest possible time. It is not de- sirable to devote good agricultural land to this purpose; generally the in- ferior land on farms will grow suf- ficient fuel to supply regularly each years needs. Farms with such land are numerous in the hilly sections of the country, and are found almost ev- anywhere except in the prairie and plains regions and in limited areas in the river bottoms. a#... ........
 Meanwhile, the least that should be done is to see that fire and other de structive agents are kept out of grow. ing woodland, and that in cutting for ffrewood only the material taken out which will not injure the productive

DOG FED TRAPPED FRIEND l.
mssssehusetts Farm Agent Tells Re sasrkabIe and Touching Story of
 Canine Affection.

Tn the Teiegrnm. Worcester, Masm-. yohn. E. Dearth. fieid agent of Worces- ter county farm bureau. tells this story of the intelligence. sympathy, af. fection and clever understanding on the part of dog, which came under his observation in a recent visit to Princeton:
 A Princeton man who Is fond of horses and dogs owns q finely bred hunting dog and he missed ii for sev- eral days. He made inquiries all around. but no one had seen anything of the animal, and after week the owner gave 1t up as lost. One of the farm hands was rambling through chopped off wood lot a few days later and came upon the dog caught In a steel strap set for a skunk. Both fore paws were held in the jaws of the trap and the dog could not escape.
 But in spite of It's terrible predica- ment 1t was not emnciated. and al- though in pain had not gnawed It's forelegs as many animals will do when they are in the torture of a steel trap. Strangest of all, scattered all around were bones and scraps of meat. Sew eral hen bones and beef bones, with shreds of meat still clinging, were nn- der the captive's nose, and 1t was chewing bone when the farmer dts severed It's plight.
 The trapped dog was carried home in the arms of the man who found 1t, and then, little later, the owner went to the trap to see who or what brought those bones and scraps of dog food to the suffering captive. While he stood silently regarding the little heap of bones and scraps, another dog from his own kennels came through the brush with its jaws filled with chicken bones, meat trimmings and other gleanings from the kitchen gar bage pail. The dog dropped its load close to the trap and sniffed around as if 1t were worried.
 Calling the dog after him, the own CT went back to where the Injured dog was licking its wounds. When the other dog saw the rescued animal 1t parked. capered around, wagged its tail almost off, and then lent its own moist tongue to the healing process on its friends sorely bruised paws.

The score being 13 to in favor of Canaan. The teams made good showing for the first contest of the season. Snow and rain caused some doubt as to the playing of the game. The wcatherman brought out the sun near neon and at one, the boys were on their way Both pitchers held each other down in the first four innings the score being 2 to 1 in Canaan's favor. The beginning of the fifth inning started things. The first three at bat were there with safties. Then Pease be- gan to show signs of wildness which resulted in five runs scored to our credit. The Riggs team came back for one in their half. The locals went out with four runs i'll the sixth inning. Some few runs were scored during the remainder of the game.
 The lineup of the two teams were as follows:

 Before this Red Cross Society was organized the fighting men when in iured, had to lie down on the damp ccld grc1nd until they died with no one tc care for them. Many of them froz2 aal starved.

 Clara Barton introduced the Red Cross Society in America. It was a long time before she succeeded, but the society was formed at last. Clara Barton was made it's president Since the death of Clara Barton, the president has taken her place.
 Much work has been done by the Red Cross Society in our country, especially in the recent war. 5And we too made much comfortable clothes and other helpful articles in school to send to the poor and suffer- ing across the seas.

The Value of High School Education

GOO
 "Is high school education of any value?" is question often asked. The answer is "Yes"-not only is it of great value but it is al- most necessity in these days. Why you ask? There are many reasons.
 First, high school education is business qualification. The questions usually asked by business manager in engaging an employee are; What education have you had?" and What are your references?" Many times the man looks for references from the former teacher.
 The position obtained by a boy who. leaves grammar school at the age of fourteen is such as driving a delivery wagon, working on farm or running errands. These positions are usually unprofitable, the wages are low, the work uninteresting and the advancements small and far be- tween. On the other hand person who has graduated from high school generally obtains a much better position and advances much more quickly. Why? Because the high school student learns to think quick ly and has taken a special course of study, such as bookkeeping, physics, algebra, geometry, and other studies needed to become a stenographer, electrician, mechanic etc. A high school education is essential to a per son who wishes to go to college.
 One of the main things that per son learns in high school is, to reason things out for himself. This reason ing ability is developed later in life and results in the making of inven- tions, labor saving devices and other things that only person who can think. for himself can do success fully.
 Some parts of every city are dirty and unsanitary-people are crowded into small tenement rooms and chil- dren are poorly fed and clothed, In these districts diseases of all kinds rage continually and hundreds of people die each year, simply because the people are not educated enough SO hCCP IuCll SlSoh anu AFilis conditions sanitary.
 These uneducated people, do not allow their children to go to school any longer than necessary and as a result of this, an uneducated class grows up in every city. These people do not know the value of money and spend what they get in gambling and drinking, they are easily influenced to cimmit crimes. Almost all strikes and riots are composed of people who have not had enough schooling to know right from wrong.
 An uneducated class of people affect the development of the coun- try in which they live by causing riots, strikes etc. Therefore our motto should be Obtain the best education that you possibly can, not .J4a >-gg:, ? .nn' advancement but -o- shs 1etce. .ie4.. yi o~f eoentry."
