It is believed that forests sometimes
take fire through the branches of the
trees being rubbed together by the
violence of the wind, thus producing
the friction necessary to ignite them.

MOURNS DEATH OF
 EXPIRES. ROOSEVELT
Father Sullivan Received Diploma From Hands of Colone1--Captatn
 Lewis a Firm Friend.

Rev. J. Leo Sullivan of St. Joseph $ church was an intense admirer of ex-Presdent Theodore Roosevelt who died yesterday at his home in Oyster Bay. Father Sullivan was a member of the class of 1905, Holy Cross college, Worcester. Mass, and received his diploma from the hands of Roosevelt who was then president He expressed the deepest regret today at the former presidents death and said he considered him one of the greatest of Americans.
 Captain Edwin W. Lewis now in France, is another local man who had a deep respect for Colonel Roosevelt. Captain Lewis was a reporter on the New York Tribune in October d916, when the Colonel made his swing around the country, and was assigned to "coyer'' the tour. He travelled with Roosevelt for $500 miles and they became firm friends. When Captain Lewis sought admission to the P1attsburg Officers Training Camp it was necessary to have recom- mendatiOns from five well known men. Among those who recon1~ mended Captain Lewis was ex-Presi- dent Roosevelt, who wrote of the embryo officer in glowing terms.

 ACCUSES ATTORNEY

New York, Jan. I.r--Forn'a1 protest against the methods of Assistant Dis trict Attorney Dooling in conducting the inquiry before Chief Magistrate McAdoo to determine who is responsi- ble for the high cost of milk has been lodged with Governor Smith by the Dairymens League. X copy of . telegram sent to the governor was made public here today. It declares Mr. Dooling has made unsupported charges of extravaganza against off, cers Of the league and accused them of being tnsensible to the misery and suffering of the i'll, maimed, nursing children and the pnor''
 Although the assistant district at torney is supposed to be conducting an impartial exam ination into the sit uation," the telegram added, land al though branches Of the dairymen's league have offered to Gonate milk to hospitals and the poor, he has stated as fact the conclusion, which this investigation has not established, namely, that the object of our league IS to destroy competition and destroy the milk industry"
 It is complained further that MT. Dooling has made mis%taten ents. concerning increases III S'balE to OIL cers Of the league and repeated with out verihcation false reports of dis sension among our members

CHURCHES UNITE IN
 WEEKLY ADDRESSES
Thursday Evening Lectures Planned by the South and Center
 Congregationalsts.

The First and South churches haVe arranged a most interesting and profit able series of meetings for the Thurs day evenings during the months of January and February. These will consist of talks by various persons en- gagged in various forms of philan- thropic service. The intention Is to give the people Of these churches and others who may care to attend an in telligent idea of what the city is doin 2 in the way Of help for it's people. There is probably no city in the stat @ and perhaps in the country that is more wide awake to the various muni~ ctpa1-social problems than our own city. There is always q ready spirit of willingness to do whatever seems necessary to help the people carry their burdens and solve their prob- lems, but there is a large amount of ignorance or misunderstanding con- corning these various forms of work The meetings, as planned, arc as follows:
 Jan. 9Am ericanization, by Fran cis P. O'Brien, director of the Amer fcanization movement of the city.
 Jan. 30--New Britain City Mission,
 
 tendent of the Mission,
 Feb. 6-New Britain Charity Or ganization. by Miss Cora Beale, secre- tary of this organization.
 Feb. 13---IVisitinlg Nurse Association and the Milk Station, by Miss Ella A. Dorman, director.
 Feb. 2o-The Day Nursery. by Mrs, r. T. O'Brien, head of that work. and the Tuberculosis Work. by Miss Sarah Carroll, the nurse employed for this purpose,
 Feb. 27--Children's Home by Rev. J. F. Klingberg. superintendent
 Other movements may be added to this list. A most cordial invita- ton is given to the people Of the city to at tend these meetings and learn of the very fine and useful work that is being done along these very worthy and ne- cessary lines

CITY GUARDS WILL
 NOT DISBAND YET
Organization Will Probably Remain Intact, Despite State Guard
 DemobiIization.

Despite the fact that one of the local companies of the Connecticut State Guard is to be mustered out of the service, 1t is i'm probabl that the New Britain City Guards will break up as q military guard of the city. Company H, Of the State Guard, will be mustered out of service and the men given their honorable discharge on January IT. They will become members of the State Guard Reserves Yesterday when one of the officers of the City Guards was asked whether or not the City Guard would cease to be. he replied that he did not know posi- lively but he thought it very improo- able that such would be the case.
 The Citv Guards were formed as q, war measure after this city was left ryi+ro,,t ifs old National Guard boys, who went to France as members of the 1O2d Regiment. The Guards, al- though & war creation. can also be a neace help and their organization will probably be maintained for the pres- ent Now that the actual fighting is over, the actual danger of trouble fin towns and cities is not over.
 Speaking In PlainvilIe a few weeks ago. Maior-General Burpee. com mander of the State Guard, gave the reason for the maintenance of the State Guards. In his speech he stated that it is as necessary to maintain a military force large enough to cope with the situation as it is to maintain a large force during the war. He also said that there are Bolsheviki and T. W. w. workers in the state wl1 0 threaten law and order. Tn consider ing these conditions it is realized that New Britain is one Of the largest man. ufacturing cities in the state and, therefore, one of the places which needs ample protection at all times. With the elimination of one of the 1.-two State Guard companies it leaves the city at the present time with the City Guards and the remaining com pany of the State Guard as it's mili- tarv protection.

 Again would like to put in plea for the Alaskan spud and the Alaskan rutabaga. The local ranchers digging their crops of these vegetable and would ask that Alaskans buy them and them. At best the lot of Alaskan rancher is easy and if, after planting, cultivating and digging his crops, he not dispose of them, the task is made much harder.
 AS for the rutabagas they the only species of these vegetables grown anywhere that really good to eat. They tender and sweet and lation to any who has tasted only the southern grown product. Eat of them and help the Alaskan farmer.
 And the Alaskan spud. Some folks are foolishly prejudiced against it, saying it is not mealy enough Better little less mealy and substance is the way to look at this matter. Give your hard working neghbor chance to realize his spuds rather than pay out your money to support steamship companies and strangers.
 Buy Alaskan products if you get them and encourage the who building up the Territory
