ConstantinopIe, March 20.-(By the Associated Press) Dispa tches from Novorossisk today state that Ekaterinodar fell on March IS.

 Case Postponed.
 The case of the Connecticut Hu- mane society against William Me Mahon for alleged cruelty to animals was continued from yesterday until sometime next week, date to be an- nounceti later.
 Express Delayed.
 The Ame rican Railway Express train that passes through Berlin. at midnight did not arrive here until nearly noon today. That the express shipments are heavy was testified 10 by the fact that IT cars and two To- comotives made up the train. 1t was stated that many manufacturers are using express for shipping owing to the uncertainty of freight.
 Now Has Door Bell.
 Friends Of Captain Charles Warren wondering kow they would make their presence known at his door now that he had sold his brass knocker will be pleased to know that a hand some new doorbell reposes in it's place.
 Dogs At Large.
 Complaints are brewing over the large mum Der of canines at large the majority being without tags or iden- tification marks. One resident esti- mated that more than 100 dogs were roaming at large. It has become un- safe to leave eatables in an exposed place as they are imm ediately taken by the ever watchful canines. There is A fine attached to the practice of al- I~x1J T and it is hoped that the town off cials will appoint a dog catcher whose business it will be to see that the law in regard to this matter is rig idly enforced.
 Trolley Service Hampered.
 Service on the Berlin line was in terrupted this morning owing to the heavy fall of snow during the evening" Little effort was made to keep the cars running on schedule. The snow being wet accumulated on the win dows making it difficult for the mo- torman to see ahead any distance so that it was necessary to run at re- duced speed.
 Plumbing Business Sold.
 E. ". Mildrun, administrator for the Edson Bowers estate nas sold the plumbing business to a New Britain man WnOSe name has been withheld. It is said that the new owner will take possession within d week or so

So Residents Say in Complaint to Post Office Department
ASK FOR BETTER CONDITIONS
Local Offices. However, Are Not Re Sponsible-Frejght Service Is Tied Cp-McMahon Case Is Continued IndefniteIy-Briefs.

Residents of the Blue Hills dis trict have entered a complaint with the post office department in Wash inGton over alleged poor service given them during the month of February, it being stated in the com plaint that mali was delivered but fhree times during the entire month The petition was received by Post master w. w. Pagan for cerification, but as the Blue Hills delivery comes under the Jurisdiction of the South fngton post office MT. Pagan imme- diately returned the papers to Wash ington explaining that the complaint had no bearing upon the local office.
 Deliveries from the Kensington post office have been very regular *hrough the rural districts, consider ing the weather of the past few months. In explaining some of the reasons for the possible non-delivery of the mail it was said that the roads in the Blue Hills were almost impas- able particularly during the weeks following the big storm of February 4. Rural districts throughout the state, particularly Bolton and Sims Sury, have felt the effects of the re- cent storm in respect to mail deliv- cry.
 Cars Disabled.
 One thing noticeable at the Berlin depot is the long line of freight trains that re passing through due principally 10 the release of thou sands of cars that have been held up during the siege of ice and snow. EeIow New Haven and in New Haven the passenger and freight service was hindered this morning by the pulling out of draw bars. In order to remove the cars quickly it is not Unusual for a train to be made up of 30 to 60 cars and the unusual ten sion on the draw bars near the front of the train causes them to part re- quilting in considerable delay.

Some Reasons Why
the Farmer Should
Keep Thanksgiving

Just now. apart from our knowl.
edge Of food secure, perhaps some
Of Us feel 1t necessary to fall back
upon the private reasons for thank.
fulness. Each one has some bit Of
personal well-belng that can be brought
out and rubbed up and admired
just to keep our home circle
happy this Thanksgiving day. Each
one knows their own cause for con.
tent, even where It is so common.
place as not to be distinctly visible to
others. Especially this year we mustn't
lose sight Of the personal bright
spots on account Of their everyday
character.
A person was once visiting friend
whose home commanded beautiful
stretch Of mountain scenery. It was,
in fact, a magnificent view. "What
a wonderful outlook you have here"
he remarked to his host. II am sure
II lived here I should spend most
Of my time viewing the landscape" :"
"Why. never thought Of It that
way" his host replied. II never con-
sidered 1t anything remarkable. l
have simply taken II as matter Of
course"
Thousands of people who live in
the country enjoy a treasure which is
denied 20 millions Of their fellowmen
the blessing Of good, pure, out-of.
door air, fragrant in spring and sum.
mer with perfume Of flowers or new.
mown hay, and In fall and winter Ia
den with crisp. llfe-giving ozone.
No one enjoys more blessings and
treasures Of this kind than the man
or woman on the farm. He or she,
II inclined to be Of complaining ma.
ture, is apt to fnd fault that life on
the farm Is 80 hard and composed so
largely Of drudgery. Furthermore,
'far away fields are always green,"
and the one on the farm imagines
that In the city all must be ease and
contentment. These imaginings, how.
ever, will not stand the test Of
personal acquaintanceship with the
life that is lived in the cities BY hun.
dreds Of thousands of people. Farm
work Is hard. but there are no easy
berths In life.
The average person on the farm
lives better, enjoys better air ta
breathe, better water to drink, better
food to eat, better conditions under
which to work. better health than the
man or woman in corresponding cir
cumstances In the city.

clan, the Foundation Of the
Science Of Geometry.

Euclid was an ancient mathematI.
clan. who Is said by some to have
fourished in the third century before
the Christian era. It Is generally
held that he was Greek, but the date
and place Of his birth are unknown.
1t Is generally held that much Of his
work was done at Alexandria, Egypt,
which In those ancient times was a
famous seat Of learning and the GEN.
ter Of extensive commerce. The most
famous work Of Euclid that has come
down to US is the Elements Of Geom-
etry in 13 books. The first six are the
most valuable. They contain the
foundation Of geometry. on which Is
based several branches of higher
mathematics. These books are still
used in schools and colleges. The
next three books deal with the prop
critics of numbers but they are SUPER
seded by modern arithmetic. Euclid
also left other works, such as treatises
on harmony and optics.

Thanksgiving Hymn
Well Liked at Birth
But Now Forgotten

The first presidential Thanksgiving
proclamation was that Of President
Washington in 1850 on the occasion
Of the adoption of the Constitution.
the day, curiously enough, being No
vember 26-the date of celebration Of
1858. This latter was the real fore
runner Of our national Thanksgiving
day. Occasional and special times Of
thanksgiving had often been appoint.
ed by different Presidents, but the year
1853, famous for Its decisive national
victories, marked also the beginning
Of the annual series Of Thanksgiving
days.
The great victories Of Gettysburg
and vIcksburg were really the cause
Of Llncoln's proclamation. and his ex-
ample has been followed by all his
successors until the annual festival
has become one Of our national insti-
tIItlons.
The proclamation Of 1868 wss re-
markable as the first Of series, ex.
tending now over fifty years. It was
also noticeable because 1t was the oc-
casion of thanksgiving hymn by the
famous Reverend Doctor Muhlenburg
Of St. Luke's hospital, New York city.
He is well known as the author Of the
familiar hymn. 'T Would Not Live Al
way" and a poet Of no small repute.
Mr.. Lincoln's glowing words met his
eye and struck responsive chord In
his heart. A noble Thanksgiving
hymn was the result, hymn which at
the time was often oung, but is now
comparatively forgotten. 1t was pub
lished with appropriate music. and
even yet Is suitable for use on similar
occasions.
The hymn contains nine stanzas,
with chorus. and takes up In order the
various causes for thanksgiving men.
toned In Mr.. Lincoln's proclamation.
The original title was "Give Thanks
All Ye People," the first verse being
as follows:
Give thanks. all 70 people. give thanks
to the Lord,
Alleluias Of freedom with Joyful accord;
Let the East and the West. North and
South roll along,
Sea. mountain and prairie. one thanks
giving song.
Chorus
Give thanks. all ye people. give thanks to
the Lord,
Allsluias Of freedom. with joyful accord.
