 nounced

 The first settlers came to Litch field in 1720 and the bi-centennia of that event is to take place the first four days in August. This his toric old town means to sustain its splendid reputation, especially for hospitality. Though our population is small our hearts are large and the more visitors we have the happier we will be.

But that does not mean that any formal invitation is required The latch string is out and all who love us we love and invite to take part in making our celebration one that will go down in history.
 While it is, at this writing, impos. sible to give exact hours for every. thing the general program has been agreed on.

George M Woodruff will give an address en- titled "Reminiscences" and the Rev Rockwell Harmon Potter, D. D., pastor of the Center church, Hart ford will have for his theme, "The Mission of the Meeting House."
 In the afternoon there will be most interesting exercises at the Playhouse on West street. The Hon. George M. Woodruff will preside and the Rev. William B. Pruner, pastor of the Methodist church, will give the invocation. There will be "Pre- Jude" by Mrs. Leonard A. Dickinson and a violin duet by Harold Der trand Doyle and Miss Charlotte Deming.

SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION
 QUIZZES CANDIDATES
Judge Warner Says He Has No Illusions Regarding
 Governorship

mOre replleS to the query or the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Asso- citation as to where gubernatorial candidates stand with regard to a special session of the Connecticut legislature to ratify suffrage have been received at suffrage headquar- ters. They come from four Repub- licansSand one Democrat, the Demo crat a&d two of the Republicans favoring special session, while two otheA Republicans assert that they favo woman suffrage, yet approve Govafnor Holcomb's course in re- fusi1g to call a special session. {
 John M. Wadhams of Torrington and Judge Donald T. Warner SNof Salisbury express themselves as op- posed to a special session of the Legislature for the purpose of rati- fcati3n. Ii
 Judge Gilson write: 7,
 Tn reply to your inquiry, al- though l am not a candidate for the office of Governor, am quite will ing to assure you that I am unquali- fiedly in favor of the ratification of the Federal Amendment, and as a member of the Mems Republican Committee of Connecticut for Rati- fication of the Federal Suffrage Amendment, approve most heartily of the calling of special session of the Connecticut Legislature for this purpose.
 Sincerely yours, A. John Lee Gilson." |"
 Mayor FitzGerald said in part:
 'I have not stated that I was a candidate for nomination for gov ernoI on the democratic ticket, but whether will be or not I feel that yourF Organization has had plenty of evidence in the past of where I stand in your cause. I am just as firm supporter of the principles of your association and the purposes for which it was created now, as I was D the past, and whether as an officef or in the ranks of the party, will do my utmost, as have in the past, to bring about that condition which is just, fair, equitable and right for the women of this state.
 Therefore, you can count me now, as in the past and hereafter, to beayith you.
 Very truly yours,
 David E. FitzGerald. :"

 Regarding the situation in Con- necticut, if I understand it correct ly, Governor Holcomb has been doubtful if he was authorized to call a special session for this purpose under the constitutions and I believe that Ex-Governor Baldwin, who is considered an expert constitutional lawyer, agrees with him in his posi- tion, and having served in both 1 branches of the House of Repre- sentatives under both of these gov ernors, have a great respect for their opinions in matters of public interest.

TWIN LAKES COTTAGERS
 DISTURBED BY BEAR
Has Never Been Seen, But Fame Has Spread to
 Torrington

Last summer there was some talk among cottagers at Twin Lakes about bear living in that neighbor- hood, causing no little excitement in some quarters. Many scoffed at the idea and we supposed the poor old bear had fallen a victim to some willy trappers' art or had perished from the extreme weather in this vicinity last winter. However the bear still lives. If you doubt it, read the following from the Torrington Register:
 Michael Sutner, Earle Bierce and Arthur Raymond were fishing re- gently at Twin Lakes. They used up all their bait and Sutner took it upon himself to look for night crawlers on the shore. While en- gagged in the search he came upon an animal which he was positive was a bear. He hurried back to his companions and related the incident but they were certain that he had been. mistaken. Later the story was told to William c. Twittey, who has been staying at the lakes, and he was also of the opinion that Sutner must have mistaken some other forest creature for bear.
 "On their return trip, the fisher men stopped in Canaan to partake of refreshments and related the story to some Canaan people. The latter stated that Sutner probbly had not been mistaken, for a tame bear had run away from Canaan few days before"
 We wonder who owned that tame bear here?
 There is quite some history con- nected with this bear, a little of which is interesting.
 It seems one of the Twin Lakes summer residents was equally as positive that a bear was in that vii cinity as the Torrington men. He confided the news to neighbor and also warned his servants, in the meantime keeping a close watch nightly to get shot at the beast.
 One night he was positive he had seen the animal and in the morning told his neighbor. The neighbor asked to be shown just where the animal was seen and after being shown asked in which direction 1t had gone. "Right through that lat tice work" said MT. Blank.
 The neighbor looked at the lattice screen for a moment and then at the cottager. The holes in the screen were less than a foot square and if the bear had gone through it he was mighty small bear!
 Nothing more was heard regard ing the bear for several nights, when the neighbor was awakened by the explosion of a gun. In the morn ing he wandered over to MT. Blanks cottage where he encountered a dusky servant. After glancing about he remarked to the servant that he was glad MT. Blank had shot that bear.
 "He ain't shot no bear", said the servant, while her eyes rolled in terror.
 "Yes he has, too", replied the neighbor. "There it is right over there".
 With fearful glance the servant looked in the direction designated and there near a garbage can lay g small black skunk!

SAVING SERBIA THROUGH BOYS

The Serbian boy today stands be-

His fathers died defending their coun-
try against the Turk In 1912, the Bull
gar in 1918 and the Hun invasions
since 1914. The preservation of the
race must depend upon the boys grow
ing into manhood.
General NIihailo Rashitch, Ser0ia's
leading tactician and strategist, has
Just announced that he will devote his
life and energy from this time to the
boys of Serbia There were hundreds
of boys who literally belonged to no
|-body, who had lost all trace alike OF
family or friends.
1t was to meet this crisis that Gen
eral Rashitch, the crown prince o.

FIND SCOUT GRAVE IN FRANCE

Through search carried on by the
Boy Scouts of France at the request
of scouts in Newark, N j., the grave
of Edward G. Lauer. who was killed in
action nine days before the signing

an American cemetery in Suresnes.

SCOUTS KEEP OUT OF COURT.

II have never heard of any boy
scout getting into trouble and brought
before the Juvenile court" says Col.
]. f. Huchingson, boy scout executive
of Denver.
"On the other hand, we have had
scores of boys who have been in Ju-
venile court before they became
scouts"
1t is Colonel Hutchingson's Theory
that no boy is hopelessly bad, but the
''had" boy only lacks the opportunity
to express himself in the right way.
Colonel Huchingson says that the
average boy is democratic institu-
ton. that he is for fair play and wants
to give another boy a chance to make
good If there is anything against his
record. The scout troops elect their
own members and oftentimes take a
boy whom they know has record
which the school authorities can't hold
up as a shining example.

WHY PERsAING WAS MISSED

Two Lincoln (Neb.) scouts lost out
up to the scout mandate: do good
turn"
Scouts George Kennedy and Norman
Pickell set forth on the eventful day
of Pershing's visit with one all-consum-
ing desire. They wanted to shake
hands with the man whose leadership
had made him boyhod's idol.
They skirted the crowds-a boys
paradise.
They left the gay downtown streets.
They knew their only chance would
come when Pershing arrived in his
own door yard.
The two scouts hurried Up the
street. They saw the procession COM
ing. They increased their speed.
Just then the scouts ran into two
baby girls. One said her name was
Mary. Both were crying with the
cold.
The procession moved on. The ba-
bies sobbed some more. The scouts
took them along. BY the time the lit
tie group reached Pershing's street the
babes had tuned up in great shape.
The scouts turned into the white
house on the corner"
please, lady, will you warm these
little girls? They are cold"
The babies were taken in. The
scouts hurried on. Just one more
block. Perhaps they could make 1t.
They reached the coveted spot in
time. to see the front door close.
PerShing was gone!
