POLICE GET MAN
FOR s1oco FRAUD

1T
 After having eluded the police for over three months Mike kovalenko wanted in New London for f1im-famming Pantle- moon Meronsky, Russian, out of $1.e15, was arrested in New Haven Monday. A warrant has been made out for him by Prosecuting Attorney Daniel M. Cronin and he will be brought to New London for trial
 On April 14 Kovalenko with an ac- complice lured Meronsky into rooming house under the representation that all three men would put up $1,000 each to buy farm, which was for sale near New Haven. The two men interested Mern- sky to the extent that he drew S1,000 from the bank and visited the men at their quarters.
 According to the details of the robbery which were revealed by him for the first time Tuesday shortly after the men ar rived at the rooming house, one of the trio complained that he was suffering from catarrh and took a smell from a bottle. He then asked Meronsky if he had cattarrh. Maronsky replied in the affirmative and the man placed the. bot tie under his nse and told him to inhale the fumes. After that, he could not re- call what happened, until he awoke the next day and found his money gone.
 He alleged Tuesday that on Monday he met an acquaintance of his from New Haven and in a conversation he had with the New Haven man, he learned that Kovalenko was working in a rub Der factory in the Elm city. The New Haven police were immediately notified and Kovalenko was arrested.

POETRY
THREE GIFTn.

("Courage, Love and Fun."-Georgs Wyndham's motto.) Each day beggarwoman at the portal Of Gods high house, by urgent need
 emboldened, I ask three gifts for you, my well be-
 loved, Three gifts beyond the wealth of dim or
 mortal: Courage to stand now all the earth seems
 quaking And wise men grow perplexed and king
 doms totter. Now faith is sifted, old tradition tat
 tered A broken world in need of each mans
 making; Love that shall find your kith in friend
 and stranger, Brother in man mad beast in saint and
 sinner, And cleanse your heart of grudge or
 pride or grievance. Bidding you seek Christ in an ass man.
 ger; Fun ever quick to kindly speech and
 laughter, Swift with a jest the day your heart Is
 breaking. Fun that shall cheer dull years and
 send you whistling Clear eyed and cool to meet the brave
 Hereafter. With these you shall not need rnen's Defeat shall grace you, conquest make
 you humble So you shall fight and march and sing
 till noonrise Lights up the wall of the Celestial City. W. M. Let's, in London Spectator.

At a recent meeting in Grange hall in Salem program of work for that com munity was adopted The home demon- stration agent and the county agent each outlined possible activities which could be carried out.
 The following is the community farm bureau program as adopted at this meet ing:
 l. Home nursing.
 2. Balanced meals.
 3. Dairy fmprovement-with special reference to better bulls.
 4. Lime and clover.
 }. Poultry.
 Projects 1 and 2 will be carried out by the women, while 3, and will be taken care of by the men. The latter three projects were chosen becaues it was found that dairying and poultry raising consti7 tuted the two l>rgest sources of income and. is improvement could be brought about in these lines, increased income would follow.
 A community committee of f"e men and four women were elected to draw up definite plans for carrying out this pro- gram. The committee follows: Ira D. Clifford, Fred Ames, N. c. Clark. David Simonowitz, Joseph Dytko, Mrs. William Darling. Mrs. John Fraser, Mrs. Carl Rogers, Mrs. Alice Houston.

THE SOLITARY REAPER

Behold her, singing in the field,
 Ton solitary Highland Lass : Reaping and singing by herself
 Stop here, or gently pass Alone she cuts and binds the grain, And sings melancholy strain 0 listen for the Vale profound Is overflowing with the sound. No nightingale did ever chaunt
 More welcome notes to weary banda Of travellers in some shady haunt,
 Among Arabian sands; A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard In springtime from the Cuckoo-b bird, Breaking the silence of the seas Among the farthest Hebrides. Will no one tell me. what she sings? Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow For old, unhappy. far-off things,
 And battles long ago; Or is it some more humble lay, Familiar matter of today? Some natural sorrow. loss. or pain, That has been, and may be again? Whate'er the theme. the Maiden sang As if her song could have no ending; I saw her singing at her work, -
 And OCT the sickle bending; I listened. motionless and still; And, as I mounted uo the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more.
 Wordsworth.
