STUDENTS AS FIREFIGHTERS
Pupils At Suffield School Do Excel lent Work This Morning-Blaze Does Damage of About $5.OOO.

Sufield. Conn.,, Dec 6.-Students at Suffield school, a preparatory in- stitution, had an extra, short course in fire fighting early today, and in the opinion of the Suffield fire depart ment each deserved a good mark. Fire broke out in the kitchen on the first floor of the North building, and worked its way upwards in the four story brick structure. For time the blaze had to be fought from the rear fire escapes and it was here that the students, about 200 of whom are boarders, did good work passing up lines of hose and saving room fur nishings. After a three hours exper- fence the students were mustered for breakfast which was served in the Sunday school rooms of the Second Baptist church across the street.
 The actual fire damage was about $5.000 although the entire building will need repairing as holes had to be choppef in ors and walls to reach the fire. Three firemen had to be re- moved from the building overcome by smoke. Temporary arrangements for a kitchen service will obviate closing the school.

 The movement to market of the Christmas trees, some still spangled with the snow of northern country sides, is underway and figures on the cut are fairly complete. From the forests of Maine 600,o00 trees have been taken. In Vermont it is esti- mated about 30O,000 were felled and the reports of the state forester of New Hampshire show a shipment of approximately 5oO,O00. The southern section of New England cuts much less, the crop from the Berkshires in Massachusetts being probably about 75,000 and in Rhode Island and Con- necticut combined about 25,0O0.
 On the stump these trees have been sold by the farmer or woodland owner for a few cents each, large lots selling, at $25 to $30 thousand. Smaller numbers, usually taken from pastures where the trees
