Sympathy a. a Fine AT.

Sympathy Is one of the fine arts. It
should enrich, not impOverish !;
strengthen, not weaken; inspire while
1t comforts. 1t is easy enough to say
you are sorry. 1t is easy to grieve with
your friend over his trouble and pity
him for his mishaps. But the sympathy
which is a fine art does not encourage
him to give, way to despair. 1t stimu-
lates. 1t puts hope in place Of heart
ache. 1t points on and up. Do not
wrong your friend with the sympathy
which will make him feel like plying

Ben Hur Purchase
Famous Wallace Home

The Tribe of Ben Hur has Just
purchased the old home of Gen.
eral Lew Wallace at Crawfords-
vile, Indiana, and thus saved to
the country one of it's famous
shrines, second in Importance in
the middle west only to the Lin
coin home in Springfield and the
Lincoln birth place in Ken
lucky. This public spirited &C
ton will be gratifying news not
only to every member of the So
ciety in this city but to all ad-
mirers of the old civil war hero
and his masterpiece, the book
Ben-Hur. The home place was
about to be cut up in building
lots when the officers of the or
der came to the rescue with the
purchase price, $4,000 and thus
preserved posterity a place
which is bound to increase in
historic interest and value thru
the coming years.
It is expected that the prop
erty will eventually become the
Gerard Memorial and the COM
mittee charged with the duty Of
providing d suitable memorial to
the late D.. w. Gerard, founder
Of the order, will now push the
collection Of funds until a suffi-
cient amount has been secured
to pay for the estate and MAIN

Thousands of persons already |
visit the old homestead every |
year, many Of them going to1
Charlottesville for this express
purpose and from all parts of the
United States and the world. If 4
anyone from this community
goes to Charlottesville he should
by all means see the Wallace

will explain everything.
Unlike so many of Americas
shrines the Wallace place needs
no restoration as it has been
made secure to the public while
still in a perfect state of preser-
walton. General Wallace has
been dead less than ten years

ings as well as the spacious |
grounds are just as they were
when he lived and labored there. |

PUBLIC RECEPTION TO
 OUR SCHOOL TEACHERS
First of Series of Social Gather ings to be Held During
 the Winter

The first of the series of social evenings to be given this winter, under the auspices of the Canaan Community Service Association, will be a public reception to the teachers in the schools of the town. This will take place at Christ church parish house, Friday evening, Octo- Der 24. ,.= :.
 It is expected that the members of the school committee and their wives, together, with the officers of the Community Service Association and their wives, Supervisor and Mrs. w. M Teague, the pastors of the local churches with their wives, will act as a reception committee.
 An attractive program is being ar ranged by the committee in charge which will be announced next week.
 Those in charge of this first of the Community Service events, hope that everyone interested in the schools will be present in order to meet the members of the teaching force, and in this way become acquainted with LnOSe WHO are III .CHeIgS O1 CHS schools of the town.
 It is generally conceded that no other town in this section of the state is furnished with any better teachers than our own town; while several of the teachers are residents here and well known to most, yet those from out of town have not met the major ity of the people of Canaan; so this opportunity is provided that not only the teachers may become known to the people, but that the teachers may meet those who are interested in the schools.
 No special invitations are to be issued, but every adult is cordially urged to be present that evening.

THRIFT WEEK
Government Urges People to Buy
 Wisely and Reduce Prices .

Governor Marcus H. Holcomb Monday issued proclamation urging the citizens of Connecticut to observe Thrift Week, beginning Monday, October 6, as a means of reducing the high cost of living, bringing about universal knowledge of the neces- sity of systematic saving and the extension of knowledge of safe in vestment to all. This proclamation was read in every church in the state. It is as follows: "In &C., cordance with a request of the treas ury department of the United States submitted to me through the Connec- ticut War Savings Committee. hereby request and urge that the citi- zens of Connecticut set aside the week beginning Monday, October 9th, as Thrift Week. If our nation is to re- ceive relief from the present unrest and from the high prices of all neces- sities of life, it is necessary that our people shall save systematically and buy wisely.
 Prices of commodities cannot be reduced without the help of the peo- pie. Therefore urge that every man, woman and child in Connecti- cut realize, for his own and the com mon good, the importance of buying wisely to reduce the demand; using wisely to avoid waste; saving regu- larly to provide for the future, and producing more for his own and his country's welfare. It is the desire of those in charge of arrangements for Thrift Week that special emphasis be laid on the nationwide effort now being made to reduce the high cost of living. Let us increase our saw ings and extend the knowledge of safe investment to all our people,"

STATE WILL OBSERVE
 ROOSEVELT'S BIRTHDAY
October 27th To Be Occasion of Numerous Memorial
 Exercises ...

"One flag, the American flag; one language, the language of the Decla- ration of Independence; one loyalty, loyalty to the American people" These words of the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will be the text of thousands of addresses throughout the country, on Monday, October 27, when the birthday of the illustrious ex-president is to be observed and, here in Connecticut, plans have al- ready been made to hold fitting exer- cises in every school in the state on the 27th, and in every church the day before, Sunday, October 26th. The ultimate result will be a perma- nent Roosevelt memorial from the people of the nation.
 State Chairman Taft, through Sec retary Whitmore, has Connecticut we'll organized in about forty differ ent districts. The week of October I20-27 has been designated through out the United States for various memorials in honor of Colonel Roose- welt and the receiving of contribu- tions to general fund for memorial. Connecticut has been asked to contri- bute between $100,000 and $200,- IOOO but the State Committee is en- phasizing that the financial is the secondary feature of it's campaign and that the chief objective is to afford an opportunity for every per son in the state to become a certified member of the association by giving whatever they wish. ., .-..
 There will be nothing of an inten- sive drive for contributions but the committee hopes that all who so de- sire will contribute and receive their membership certificates during the week beginning October 20, as timely testimonial of the regard in which the American people will al ways hold the great apostle of Ameri- canism, especially at a period when it's inculcation was most needed.
 J. Henry Roraback is the chairman for this district and has appointed the local chairmen as follows, which also shows the quota allotted each town: Litchfield, $540, John H. Lan- caster; Morris, $65, George H. John son; Canaan, $150, J. K. Mackie; Salisbury, $500, M D. Rudd; Sharon, $21O, L. H. Middlebrooks; North Canaan, $2O5, A. W. Herbst, making 8 total of $1670 from this district.
 Every person who gives to the Roosevelt fund during the week of October 20-27 will become perman- ent member of the Roosevelt Memor- ial Association. ''F-

SOUTH BERKSHIRE AND
 CANAAN WANT TROLLEY
Meeting of Business Men Held in Great Harrington
 Monday

The Berkshire trolleys have re- sumed operation in Pittsfeld to North Adams and as far south as Lee, but unless pressure is brought to bear there is little likelihood of the trolley running to Canaan for some time For this reason about fifty business men met at Odd Eel lows hall in Great Burlington Mon day evening to discuss ways and means of inducing MT. Richmond to run the trolleys to Canaan.
 The situation was discussed from various angles and brought to light many interesting facts. It was stated that the receiver did not think the trolley service to Lee was paying ex- penses at the present time, due to the numerous jitneys that were running on regular schedule. With the com ing of winter it is thought there will be an increase.
 Berkshire county, Massachusetts wants and needs the trolley badly and everything that can be done within reason is being offered to the company to resume service. The legislature has or will be petitioned to take such action as will enable the company to benefit by about $70,000 annually in taxes, to be paid monthly should they require it to run this end of the trolley system.
 It was suggested that the rate might be raised to Great Harrington and cars run every three hours, if this would decrease the expense. The former however would require the consent of the Public Service Com mission and there seems little doubt but it could be obtained 5@
 In order to bring the situation be- fore the receiver, it was voted that each town be represented at the meeting, send committee to Pitts field and the matter taken up per sonally with MT. Richmond. The chairman of the meeting appointed one man from each town who was to act as chairman of that committee. It is expected the several committees will meet MT. Richmond some time this week. v F. Following is the list of local chair men: Great Harrington, MT. Hull; Sheffield, MT. Shears; Housatonic, MT. Ramsdell; Stockbridge, MT. Lynch; Monument Mills, MT. McCur- ney; Egremont, MT. Beebe; Canaan, A. w. Krouse. The local chairman has appointed Dr. J. c. Adam, J. Henry Roraback and H. E. Lyles, to assist him in presenting Canaan's wishes to the receiver.
