A tract of about 30 acres of timber land, located in the valley between the Ridge and the Center has been purchased by George s. Banks from
 Miss M. D. Fowler of Washington, D. C., the deal being affected through Dr. Smith. her agent. Another tract of about F acres located in the lower part of the Glen, has been acquired by Mir. Banks from Charles More house of Weston. The timber on this land is mostly dead chestnut. For the last year or so Mir. Banks has been engaged in numbering operations 1 on the 500 acres in Weston which the water company bought from Henry Sanford, 1.Id, incidental to their Saugatuck river reservoir project The tree growth was reserved by the
 seller for a stated period. but what | water company. Only a small part of the timber was removed by Mir Banks. this being chiefly the dead | chestnut. Of the entire territory probably less than one half will be 1 submerged when the dam is built and the remainder possesses admir- | able natural advantag ges for conver-
 sion into a public park. If available | the tract might be expected to find l favor with the state park board, the l members of which were in this To- i cality last year looking for a suita- | ble site for such a reservation. but | sanitary considerations pertaining to | the public water supply may present | effective objections.
 Rev. Raymond Cunningham, chap
 lain, in a letter to w. C. Sanford says
 that he has no idea when he will be
 released from service and that while
 all the men are inclined to home
 sickness in their eagerness to get back
 it is generally realized that prudence
 requires the keeping overseas of a force sufficient to cope with any emer- igency which may arise. The daily routine of drilling and the general conditions of monotony are harder to lbear and more damaging to the mor- ale and welfare than those preceding the armistice when the boys were
 awaiting the excitement and dangers
 of the battle field As for himself MT Cunningham says that he ig
 crowded with work, rather enjoys it. but through 1t all keeps surprisingly fat and healthy.
