NATIONAL FATHER AND
 SON WEEK IN CANAAN
One of the Features to be a Banquet, Wednesday,
 February 19

Take the train from Dadtown to Boyville. Spend one evening in cul- tivating an intimate feeling of com- radeship and mutual understanding with your son. Through such occa- sions in the past, many fathers and sons have really come to know and :, understand each other better. "Jack is gone", said father the other day. "I wish 1 had been a , better father to him. I am going to keep close to my younger boy".
 Have you been as good father to your son as you would like to be? Have you allowed business, social, and other interests to so engross your time and attention that you are not cultivating that spirit of com radeship between yourself and your son that deep in your heart you really covet?
 The affair Wednesday night, Feb ruary 19, is to foster the spirit of fellowship between fathers and sons. It is to emphasize the "F'un and Fellowship" side of life. There will be singine and cheering, eating and some speaking.
 It is to help the boys get acquaint'' ed with their fathers. 1t is to help fathers get acquainted with their sons. It is to help fathers carry out the resolve to keep close to their boys.
 It is part of nationwide move ment. Next week is National Fath- CT and Son Week. The whole thing is boiled down into the two lines:
 Be more than his dad,
 Be a chum to the lad"
 The purpose is to concentrate at tention in large way upon the pos sibility of a living, vital, sympathe- tic relationship between the boy and his father. ,...
 1nls is worth while. Don't let business and social CT any other in terests cause you to miss that train from Dadtown to, Boyville.

INTERESTING LETTER
Received by Dr.. Thornton from
 Henry Cu5ncy

Jen~ary IS, 1919, Friend Doc:
 I guess 1t iS cIcLt time I answer ed your letter. 1 would have an Twa@ed it b1e>rc, b~3 yoa know how things are ever here, on the jump bout all the time. We'll the worst # it is over now. We sure had those )utchrnen on the run, guess some f them are running yet. | know hoGe1 that stayed with their guns and yelled Kamerad are not running. It sure was sight to see them run, when they saw the Tanks coming ever the top. You know how people run to a fire, we'll that was just the way they beat it. 1 know they ran great deal faster than that dog we tried to catch in a trap. They were just like squirrel, you would find those shippers in trees and even in Church steeples. They sure were foxy, bat not foxy enough for the Tanks.
 I will tell you how anxious we were to get at them, we even swam rivers. You know when a fellow swims a river he sure has blood in his eye. We'll Doc, I will have lots to tell you when get back. I will have Ito tell you about those shells. Those nice little fellows about as big as a washtub sound like a train of cars coming, and when they burst you would think a powder house had blown up. They are the kind that makes a fellow think of home, they make you shiver when you are not really cold.
 We have gone back to the old ar my life again. Drill every day, we even have a rife range, were out at it today for the first time
 am up in Germany now, the people use us good. I guess they never saw an American soldier be- fore. Some of them can speak good English, and some of the older people have. been to New York.
 have been in Paris. and it is some city. The American girls haven't anything on them for dress ing, they sure dress fine.
 Harry Waller is in the same town las I am. Saw him in a minstrel show the other night. He was the only hit in the show, and say, he sure hit the audience hard.
 It rains every day here, but it is not very cold. l suppose it is cold over there. I don't know just when we will start for Gods Country, the good old U. s. A., but I hope soon. Every one of US are crazy to get home, but think it will be warm weather by the time we get there.
 We'll Doc, sit right down to your desk now, and write me a nice long letter before you forget it. Remem- Der me to Denny and MT. Herriman.

THE CANFIELD UNDER
 NEW MANAGEMENT
tt;::otel Leased by Local Parties Who Take Possession
 at Once

After various and sundry attempts at keeping the local hotel open for business, the owner, Edward "A. Brewer, has leased the property Co John P. Cudney, who took charge of the place Sunday morning.
 Both MT. and Mrs. Cudney are favorably known to the citizens of Canaan, and they wish them success in their new venture. They have given up their residence on Foote Avenue and have moved to the hotel.
 Their plan at present is to make rse of both dining rooms on the first foor, where they are prepared to serve meals at all hours. Orders for special suppers will be given careful attention. MT. Cudney hav- ing had experience in that line, as ne had charge of the preparation of the last two Business Mems Ban que:s, served while F. A. Baker was in charge of the hotel.
 It is gratifying not only to the travelling public, but to the town people as we'll that in spite of all ru- rncr3 to the contrary the hotel is to be kept open.
 Not that there is large amount oi local patronage to be had, but th2le have alwa,3 been those who preferred the hotel either from choice or of necessity. 4
 Because of the uncertainty of the accommodations, the travelling pub. .:c has tccn shy of Canaan, but un- der the new management it IS. hoped thac the transient trade may 5- w<r back. 5

The following was taken from a Niagara Falls, N. Y. paper:
 On Tuesday, January 7th, at 6 D. m., the home of MT. and Mrs. c. c. Cole, No. 10 Simcoe street, was the scene of an exceedingly pretty we'd ding, when their daughter, Edna Louise, was married to John F. Hub bard of Butte, Montana.
 Relatives of the family and close personal friends of the bride and groom to the number of about thir- ty witnessed the interesting double ring ceremony performed by Rev. J. E. Todd, pastor of the Morrison Street Methodist Church.
 Miss Cole is an exceedingly popu- lar young lady, both in this city and Niagara Falls, N. Y., being valued member of the Morrison Street Methodist choir for some years. The bride of yesterday also held an inn portant and responsible position Cn the office staff of the SpireHa Com Dany, as we'll as being actively en- gagged in Y. NJ. c. A. work, and Sec retary of the Business Women's Association of Niagara Fails, N. Y.
 Mir. Hubbard was for some six years elect-ical engineer l. thic civ for 4he Ontario Power Company, bat l}as tean for the pas two years en- ginccr in cha-ge Of the construction of a new line of railway running 38 milcs from Bite, N 34t., 1-p ;nto the mountains for the pUr~"c3 o& ,akia> o,lt theNo~ from the mines in tha5 district.
 Promptly at the appoi23ed hour, to the sweetly impressive strains Of the wedding march, the bride, ac- companied by her father, took her place beside the groom beneath 9 bower of smilax, and surrounded by banks of pink and white. carnations, palms and ferns, and the ceremony, which made John Tanning Hubbard and Edna Louise Cole man and wife, was performed.
 The bride was becomingly gowned in taupe gecrgette, with blue silk trimmings, and bouquet of sweet heart roses, while her going away gown YVES cf navy with coIal trim mings, coat of taupe nnGskrct, smal. hat of taTpe with touches of pink and gold. .z-a.ase.@1
 Amidst 9 shower of confetti and the good wishes of their friends, tn young couple left on the p. m. train from Niagara Falls, N. Y. for their western home.
 A dainty buffet luncheon was served by Miss Norma, daughter of Mayor. and Mrs. H. P. Stephens, and Beatrice, daughter of MT. and Mrs, Samuel Warren, while Miss Bessie Henderson acceptably rendered the wedding march. A pleasing feature of the occasion was the excellent vo- cal selections of Miss Margaret Me Namara both preceding and follow ing the ceremony, her sister, Miss Hazel, accompanying her on the piano.
 The out of town guests were, the brides brother, Gunner Arthur G. Cole, but recently returned from active service in France, and at pres ent at Whitby convalescent hospital, and MT. H. c. Cole of Toronto; Mrs. E. J. Cole and MT. and Mrs. Arthur Hinkley, of Niagara Falls, N. Y.

STATE SENATE VOTES
 AGAINST RATIFICATION
Prohibition Amendment DS, feated in Senate by 20
 to IA Vote

cuts Senate is the first in the coun- It try this year, to stand against th& adoption of the Constitutional amendment.
 The entire democratic representa- tion voted with ten of the twenkyr four republicans against ratincatioA~
 The Senate's action opens the ws4 for Connecticut to be the first statR this year to refuse to ratify for, = the House votes in favor of ratifie~~ tion, and the Senate adheres to the stand it took, which there is eysHA reason to believe it will do, the d1A- lagreeing action will make further s&- tion impossible for Connecticut das- ing the present Legislature, and tlaA national amendment will stand uss- ratified by the Nutmeg State.
 The refusal of the Senate was tM the face of the action of all but ioua of the forty-eight states of the Uatom in voting for ratification in rspiA succession and was interpreted by legislative leaders to mean that CoH- inecticut, standing for the principle involved, would not be "stampedeS~
  action could have no legal effect sa the amending of the Constitution.
 Arguments of prohibitionists tn the debate of an hour and one-han that preceded the roll-call vote were based largely(on the fact that Con necticut should take her place among the forty-four states that had rati< fled. The anti-prohibitionists based their fight against ratification on tho desire not to have a part in a move ment to infringe on the personM rights of Connecticut citizens

'sSWEET CIDER :
DUMPED j IN DUST

The practice common among some
pool-hall and soft dring emporium
proprietors Of ordering their sweet
cider in uncommonly large casks, it
to be seriously discouraged, Earle 81.
Tostevin, head Of the licensing de-
partment Of the attorney generals Of
flee announced today.
"Sweet cider must be ordered in
such small quantities that it will re-
main sweet until the last drop is con-
sumed, or a great many dealers will
find their hard cider used to relieve
the drought, ,"said Mr.. Tostevin.
In the eastern part of the state
Deputy Val Koch poured out ib-
eral libation to Bacchus this week
when he found As gallons of viciously
bard cider in a 60-gallon cask which
had been sweet when the p0ol-hall
proprietor opened it. This particular
dealer was doing a land-office busi-
ness in sweet cider with which nature
had taken her course. It sold freely
at ten cents per glass. The thirsty
soil, thanks to Mr.. Koch's liberality,
drank up the whole 45 gallons with
out paying asingle penny.
This dealer, reports Mr.. Koch, has
made practice Of buying his sweet
cider in 6O-gallon casks. In warm
weather not any days were reguir-
ed after the opening of the cask to
put an edge on this soft stuff, and
the older and harder it got, the better
it sold.
"Sweet cider must be sweet" said
Mr.. Tostevin today. SIT must be or
dered and offered for sale in quanti-
ties small enough to insure its con-
sumption before it has time to get
hard"
"A wholesale raid on vendors who
have violated North Dakota's bone
dry law by selling cider with kick
in it is projected.
