told the court he believed that South
Berkshire citizens were in fear of
him and he felt the defendant should
have a long Jail sentence.

EAST CANAAN GRANGE
FOR LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Adopts Resolutions Favoring
League of Nations and
Treaty of Peace

At the regular meeting of the
East Canaan Grange held last We'd
nesday night, appropriate action was
taken on communication from the
National Grange, placing the local
organization in line with the larger
body as in favor of both the League
of Nations and the Treaty Of Peace.
David M. Green of Canaan is the
present Master of the Grange, and
the membership includes not only
those farmers residing in the eastern
part of the town, but also some from
this section too.
The following was adopted, and
by vote of the Grange copies will be
sent to Senators Mclean and Bran
dagee, and to the Chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee of the
United States Senate.
Resolved, that we are in favor
of League of Nations to conserve
Peace and the establishment of
Court of Arbitration and the estab-
lishment of an International Police
Force under such rules and regula-
tions as the Peace ENJOYS shall de-
termine."
The above was adopted in ac-
cordance with the recommendation
of the Master of the National
Grange, Oliver Wilson of Illinois,
who said in his communication on
the subject, "The Grange and its
membership has always advocated
the settlement of international dis
putes by arbitration rather than re-
sort to arms, and at three Of our An
nual Sessions we have unanimously
endorsed the League Of Nations.
Now a definite covenant, is contained
in the treaty which Germany has
been forced to sign.
This Covenant may not be perfect
in all it's detail. The nations them
selves will amend it where its opera
tons prove faulty. It is the start
ing point of new era in human
rights and international relations 1t
may be the beginning of an era of
cooperation among the civilized
nations that will prevent war and es-
tablish a reign Of peace and justice
on earth.
"The principle of this League of
Nations is something we have long
sought to have enacted into law and
its adoption is Of such great impor-
lance to the whole world that we
ought to leave no stone unturned to
have the treaty ratified promptly"
The local Grange has had the mat
ter brought before it at previous
meetings, Rev. Robert Fletcher hav-
ing given some interesting talks on
the subject, so that it was all the
more ready to fall in line with the
National organization and unani-
mously adopt the resolution as above
printed.

LOCAL STANDARD OIL
PLANT TO BE ENLARGED
Facilities for Hand
ling Products Under
Construction

A force of men from the R. W..
White Construction Co. of New
York, have arrived in town ready to
make several changes in the local
Standard Oil Plant on Railroad
Street.
The buildings on the old Frank
Dempsey place, which the Standard
Oil Co. purchased some time ago,
are all to be removed with the ex-
ception of the house; there will then
be erected north of the present
stable, a brick and concrete garage,
commodius enough to house two of
the big $40 gallon tank trucks, such
as the one that has just been put on
the Canaan route.
At present but one of these Mack
trucks will be in use, retaining for
the present the horse drawn tank
wagons for short trips. But delivery
on the longer routes is speeded up
by the use of the truck, which has
a capacity of over 800 gallons more
than the largest wagon tank now in
use.
In addition to the garage a new
10 feet by 80 feet gasoline tank is to
be erected, giving additional storage
capacity to care for the increased
business in that commodity.
Local Manager Lyman E. Howe,
is to be congratulated on the in
creased facilities for taking care Of
the business which has developed
under his administration.

NOT IN FAVOR OF
SUNDAY BASEBALL
Frank Expression of Opinion
ON Mooted Question by
One Interested
Editor The News:

Editor The News:
In the last weeks edition of the
Connecticut Western News l was
somewhat surprised to see featured
a Sunday Baseball Game between
the single and the married men and
ITO read your comment that it is
hoped that more games may be ar
ranged in the future etc.
{ This reflects a tendency of the
times that must be halted or else the
Sabbath will become the same as
any other day.
Nobody wishes that; we know, or
we ought to, that during the war
the makers of munitions discovered
that a man could accomplish more
working six days and resting the
Sabbath Day than he could to work
seven days without interruption. This
was also the experience of France
that attempted to change the Bibli-
cal method to one days rest In ten
and soon discovered that it didn't
pay and for that reason went back
to the one day in seven. We know
that through the pressure of those
that are not satisfied to make money
six days a week, one exception after
another has been made to what now
seems like Blue Laws and the result
is that the Sabbath is endangered
and many people now do that which
at one time they would never have
countenanced upon the Sabbath Day.
1t might be different if these men
could not play upon any other day,
they are already playing six days in
the week mainly due to the Day.
light Saving, they have also Saturday
half-holiday and play then.
They that play and they that
watch the playing need to remember
that the Sabbath was made for man,
not merely for me but for men.
And therefore they ought not to
make it impossible for somebody
else to enjoy Sabbath quiet or
Sabbath rest.
The Sabbath was made for man
and they that do have the physical
developed should spend the Sabbath
in such way that they shall develop
the part of man that is neglected
six days in the week, the intellectual
and the spiritual Man is something
more than physical, he has that
which distinguishes him from the
brute and unless that be developed
he lives as beast.
Sunday therefore should be a day
of recreation. It should also be
family day when families become
better acquainted with each other.
1t should also be day of worship,
when we come to know God through
His Church and its services.
Hoping that this may help to
make your readers realize their
responsibility of keeping the Lords
Day different.

This was the second meeting be-

the first by the score of 15-4.
Coulter and Arnott both pitched

men and struck out twelve. The
Falls Village team gave him fine
support and except in the fourth
inning, was never in trouble.
Arnott pitched well enough to win
