SMITH
AND WIFE HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE
Pinned Under Overturned
Car for Half an Hour at
Meredith, N. III.

Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur E. Smith
were receiving congratulations today
over their narrow escape from death
when their automobile turned turtle
near Meredith, N. H., when they
were returning from Boston. Mr..
Smith, who is proprietor of the
Smith chain of Cash grocery stores
was at work today but his head was
bandaged and he showed the effects
of the accident which came so near
being tragedy. Mrs. Smith is up and
about but it will be several days be-
fore she will be fully recovered from
the shock of the accident.
Mr.. Smith in describing the acci>
dent said they were on their way
home from Boston~where they had
been for several days when their ma
chine skidded on the wet macadam
road at Meredith, and going into the
ditch, overturned. Both he and
Mrs. Smith were pinned in their
seats. -
Mrs. Smith became unconscious
and Mr.. Smith was unable to extri-
cate himself or to aid his wife.
For over half an hour they re-
manned in this terrible position until
Aaron Clark came upon them as he
passed in a machine. He was able
to get Mr.. Smith out and the two res
cued Mrs. Smith. But for the assist
ance of Mr.. Clark, Mr.. Smith sa Is
he hates to think of what might ha le
become of them.

Some of the finest sermons that St.

ministers had to deliver and they
handled the subject of the present
World Crisis without mincing Of
words.
At the request of the evening Gale
donian the pastors wrote out a 500
word synopsis of their sermons.
Those who attended one church will
be interested to know the message
delivered in other churches. Those
who were compelled by sickness to
stay at home can read the message of
their own pastor today and tomorrow.
The material turned in was so great
that we could not print it all in one
edition. The sermons of various
churches which do not appear today
will be in tomorrow's Evening Gale
donian.

Rev. DR.. F. A. Poole spoke on the
theme "The Altogether Incidental

No one can say of this winters

wonderful assortment of IDEAS are
flung into these feminine garments,
so that, whatever you choose, there IS
nothing to prevent a woman from

The evening Caledonian reporter

the annual Fall opening at the Berry

and despite the rain many women

MILL RIVER PATRONAGE

From Mill River, Massachusetts hamlet just over the Connecticut line, comes a news item announcing the annual appointments of officials by the selectmen of that place. This in Itself may not be out of the ordln- ary but when one counts the appoint nents and finds that they total "A, and learns further upon looking ID the census figures that Mill River has a population of 200, one naturally wonders where all oftice-holde-s come from. If the population is 200, the voting list probably ?ontains no more than 25 names. The office must pre- force seek the man. Among the ap- pointees are two meat inspectors, tv animal inspectors, four I1easarers %f wood three field drivers, two police men, five sextons, three poundkeeI.- CTS, three fence viewers, one welghcr, enc sealer of weights and measures and one town hall janitor. Just what constitutes the duties of these various officials is problematical. What, for instance. is the purpose of a fence viewer. Apparently he views fences But if so, what for? And the wood measurers, what are they for? We wonder if all these officials receive pay. With such an array of patron age available for distribution, the selectmen of Mill River must have a big hold on the hearts of the voters -Torrington Register.
 We are not familiar with condi- tiens in this hamlet" yet we feel certain there is good reason for all of the above appointments. The sbove is published trusting that Q native of that place or some one familiar with conditions there, will

WANTED-A CHAIRMAN

North Canaan is said to have population of some 2,300 odd people, with the average number of males, and yet 1t appears there is no man among them who has either the time or inclination to take the res possibility as chairman of the Fifth Liberty Loan campaign.
 Whats the answer?
 If any one should make a state ment similar to the above before this condition became general town Knowledge, it would have appeared ridiculous. Yet the fact still re- mains that chairmen for this last great popular loan are as scarce as proverbial hens teeth. The time for launching the campaign has been drawing closer each day and yet up to the time we go to press, no one seems to think it is his personal busi- ness to assist the district chairman in securing some one for this office.
 Is North Canaan going to spoil the fine, patriotic and generous reputation it has established during the past two years by letting this loan find us unprepared? Is there no man eligible for this office who will make some sacrifice to keep the town in the place it has earned?
 Even though we should not reach the quota assigned to this town, an effort must be made under the lea dership of some individual who will give his time and knowledge to the cause, unstintingly, with determin ation; to win, regardless of conditions which exist. We believe there are several such men in town and in the interests of patriotism and our good reputation, we call on them to come forward with an offer of their ser vices.

 They had in fifteen days taken the center of that great territory from the southern beginning of the drive to the objective, and the one terri tory most vigorously defended.
 The enemy already defeated be- yond retrieve, with it's final reserves, that had been thrown in in it's last desperate efforts to stem the tide of the irresistible Americans shot to fragments, could make no further formidable infantry resistance, al- though it continued a heavy artillery fire until the entry of the 42nd into Sedan and the German prayer for peace.
 The victory had been won. The price was approximately 1000 men from the fighting forces of the 82nd in killed, wounded and severely gassed-or approximately 50 per cent of the fighting forces that entered the final engagement.

Crow Has Earned Fatiner,s Hate.

Most commonly the crow is hated by the farmer because it pulls LID the young corn to get the soft seed ker- nels at the root. and everywhere Is to be seen the scarecrow in the newly planted corn fields. Later on the dam- age they do to the corn crop can hard ly be estimated, because they peck the end of the young ears, allowing the water to enter the shuck and rot the corn.
