Makes Fine Catch

One of the finest strings of fish seen in years was taken from Long Pond last week Saturday by Mrs. M. K. Kerr, a visitor at A. R. Jame- sons cottage at Twin Lakes. At the time the water was rough with a northwest wind and rain, but these conditions did not dismay Mrs. Kerr, who is an xepert angler. MT. Jame- son managed the boat while Mrs. Kerr landed IA bass and Il pickerel within two hours time. The largest bass weighed IA pounds and three other bass weighed each 3A pounds. The largest pickerel weighed PA pounds and the average weight of the others was about pounds. Mir. Jameson has fished in many parts of the country but states that he has never seen a handsomer string than this.

POOL TOURNAMENT

 During their stay last week in Pittsfeld they had in four games six runs of over forty, five runs of over fifty and one of sixty one which broke the local records.
 Both Greenleaf and Concannon have entered the worlds champion ship tournament which will be held in Philadelphia, Dee. 1st to 18th and are now training for that event.

ASSESSING PROPERTY

The work of assessing property in the town this year is already causing more Or less discussion and from re- marks heard we expect the board of relief to have a busy season, but whether or not relief will be forth coming remains to be seen.
 The unprecedented activity in the real estate market throughout the state together with the high cost of building material has had tendency to increase values locally, and this must be considered when property is assessed. The value of piece of property to the owner should not be considered, and it seems reasonable to believe that the only correcting way of arriving at figure would be tu consider it's value on the open market.
 Another phase of the work of assessing, is taking the old records as an estimate of the value of property. This method is sure to prejudice an assessor one way or the other and in one city at least the assessors realize this and when assessing do not even have the name of the owner when visiting his property. If this method were followed here and the assessors are fair judges of real estate, which they should be, it would seem a fair value could be arrived at.
 Here and elsewhere this year cer- lain exemptions are allowed to men who were in the service. Former service men who own property are exempt of 5000 and those who were disabled in the war are exempt to the extent of $3,O00.

One of the Inspirations 1 Found ir
 T. R.'s Life

The famous Bill Sewell, who went from the woods of Maine to the plains of North Dakota at a word from Roosevelt, enjoyed telling about the surprises Roosevelt the tender gave the westerners.
 myself find strong appeal in Bills" stories, and I always shall remember this incident.
 There was ''bad man" in Medora of considerable reputation. He met Roosevelt in a public place, after hav- ing heard about the newcomer. And according to Sewell, this is what happened:
 'Thecdore was not a big nan-he was only Of medium height, weighing about 145 pounds, and he wore glass es. But grit to the heel The fellow called him a 'four-eyed tenderfoot' and tried to take his measure in abusive language.
 "Theodore paid no attention to all this and the tough naturally con- cluded that he was afraid of him. Suddenly Roosevelt let out and caught him on the butt of the jaw and he f1attened out"
 The Man who met men on the plain they could understand and met them squarely, whatever was the issue, and always met them honestly that is the man to whom we want to erect a memorial. We are going to raise $300,O00 for that memorial in the State of Connecticut. And we want everyone in the State to have some part toward building it, with North Canaan leading the way.

PAT CASEY'S PRAYER

An Irish soldier, after ten months of hard, active service, applied for a furlough. His request was granted, and then it dawned on him that he had no money to take advantage of his holiday. He wanted $1OO to go to Paris.
 He was at his wits end, there being no time to be lost, when he re- called his old mothers advice to ap- ply to the good God above in time of trouble. So he wrote and posted this letter:
 Dear Lord-Here l am after fight in ten months in mud up to me neck. The work is somewhat unpleasant, but yell be glad to hear that I killed 50 Germans. Now, Pm a little tired and l have me furlough all right, but 1 have no money left, having spent most of what I had for prayer books. Ask Fr. Tom Mccarthy if ye don't believe me. So, Lord, I ask ye sum of $100. Sure, yell never miss in the name of all saints for the small it, and if ye send me the money I'll never forget yer in me prayers. PAT CASEY
 In the course this appeal reached the censor's office, which happened ill this particular locality to be housed in the Y. M. c. A. quarters. The latter was passed around and aroused considerable attention and interest, as Casey was known to be a brave and cheerful fighter. Contri- buttons were sought, and finally the sum of $50 was raised. This was sent to the applicant, without com ment, in Y. M. c. A. envelope The next day the following was received 1 Dear Lord-I've received your $50, as per application for furlough mon- ey, and I thank ye. May yer shadow never grow less. But I make so bold as to give yet word of warnin'. Send the next money by the K. of C.'s. Ye sent the last by the Y. M. c. A., and they nipped half of it.

Sugar To Save Bees

An effort is being made by the Connecticut Agricultural College and the Connecticut Bee-Keepers Asso- citation to secure 2,000 pounds of sugar, in order to relieve the declin- ing bee industry of the state. At the present time there are about 5000 bee owners in this state, and unless sugar, which is absolutely es- sential to the industry, is secured many of the bee owners will get rid of their hives. The 15,000 to 10000 bee colonies in Connecticut are anxious for the sugar and the owners say the ebes cannot live unless some sweetening is secured.

Camp Fire Notes

The Wangum Camp Fire Girls were entertained Saturday, October IS, by the Girls Club of Norfolk. They left Canaan at 2:30 in cars. Upon arriving at the gymnasium all took part in outdoor games. Later they went inside and had races. The first was bean-bag race. This caus- ed much excitement as the bean-bag often fell to the floor. In the next, gum-drop race, each had to chew and swallow gum-drop and then whistle. It certainly seemed as though those gum-drops were made of rubber. Then three Norfolk and three Canaan girls had a weekend race. In this each had to put on pair of French-heeled pumps, a hat, skirt, shirt waist, tie, string of beads and coat, close the suit case in which these things were contained open an umbrella and walk to designated place. Then these things had to be removed, put back in the case and brought back. The Norfolk participants won this. Then followed folk dances and a musical program in which all took part
 The Norfolk girls served a bounti- ful supper, consisting of salads, sandwiches, olives, pickles, cake and candy and punch in cafeteria style, which was great fun. A blanket toss land dancing followed, after this the club songs were sung.
 Eighteen Camp Fire girls and about twenty-five of the Girls club were present. The girs 5 mingled we'll and many new friendships were formed. It goes without saying that Iall had a splendid time.
 The Wangum Camp Fire Girls wish to thank Mrs. Ives, MT. Badg- ley, Kenneth Roberts, MT. J. c. Roraback and MT. Collin for their services in helping the girls to reach Norfolk.
