tators. Immediately after the re- view an oak tree was planted in the park by Governor Holcomb. It was remarkable incident, for this tree grew from an acorn dropped near the tomb of Abraham Lincoln at Springfield, III. This recalls the fact that thirteen trees were once planted on the green, each of which was named after one of the original colonies. Curiously, the only one of these destined to survive was the tree named after Connecticut. On the grounds of the county jail is another tree known as the Whipping Post Elm, where the last public flogging occurred about seventy-five years ago.
 Tuesday, the third day of the big celebration brought even larger numbers to the ''parlor town" and as County day, the sister towns turn ed out in force to help in the proper recognition of the event.
 The feature of the day was the parade which was participated in by organizations from all parts of the County.
 First in line rode Major Jackson, marshal of the parade, and eight uniformed aids, followed by an auto mobile carrying E. P. Dickenson, Litchfeld's oldest resident, born January 1, 1921. Next came the selectmen of Litchfeld, New Hart ford, New Milford, Salisbury, Thom- aston, Torrington and Winchester. The slow grinding of motors then gave way to strains from the band of the Second Company, Governors Foot Guard, passed up the avenue. Recalling the military appearance of Mondays affair came the Morgan Weir Post of the American Legion, the old crimson uniforms of the Revolution giving away to the quiet dignity of olive drab. In close or der followed troops of Boy and Girl scouts. Then in automobiles gener- ously covered with flags came the Mary Floyd Talmadge Chapter of the D. A. R., followed by a float of the Bantam Ball Bearing Company, representing "The Acorn and the Oak" with the famous subtitle Big Oaks From Little Acorns Grow" Preceding the Litchfeld Chemical Engine and the Bantam Fire Truck, came Gartland's Twenty-third Regi- ment Band blaring out Miami Shore," as though the midsummer warmth of Litchfield were not enough.
 The blazing red shirts and blue trousers of the Waterwitch Hose Company followed, as though in competition with the gorgeous uni forms of the Governors Foot Guard, who had traversed these same shaded thoroughfares only the day before.
 Following the boys from Water

witch came the Canaan Fire De- partment, the New Departure and the Terryville Fire Company.
 With almost it's full number of blazefghters present marching to the shrieking flies of their accom- panying drum corps, the Winsted Fire Department was the largest outfit in the column.
 Next came the Naugatuck Mill tary Band and the scarlet-shirted members of the Naugatuck Fire De- partment. In the last section of the procession came the floats and autos of granges from Litchfield, Beacon, Cornwall, Morris, and Washington. The. Litchfeld float represented a group of farmers of the future, posed in various attitudes on the hemlock-covered car. The Wash ington float carried large white Holstein COW reputed to have given 1892 pounds of milk in one day and twelve tons in single year.
 Of all vehicles in the procession the strangest was the two-wheeled oxcart of the Morris Grange, com memorating the year 1890, followed by another float drawn by a tractor manned by a crew of young girls, the latter float bore a placard sig nifying the Summer of 1920.

 q am living in a house where there is quite a group of Methodist missionaries. Our reason for choos- ing Mussooree was the necessity of attending the Language School. The prevailing language of Northern India is Urdu, combination of Hindu, Persian and Arabic, written in Persian characters. Each day have an hour with an Indian tea cher for drill in pronunciation and character reading. Our classes are taught by American missionaries, two of them studied in Hartford sev- eral months while I was there. Be- sides them l have met this summer three other former Hartfordites. It is very pleasant as you may imagine.
 "The rainy season began a week ago Monday, there were several storms, but they tell us it will not be so bad in Lucknow when it is actually raining, but the intervals of heat are terrific; cool weather does not come ordinarily until the last of October.
 Are you not surprised to know that India is so real in material comforts. We have electric lights, electric fire places and cookers, and a porcelain bathtub. Moreover the food is very good and quite varied, chicken once week, pumpkin pie too, and during June strawberry shortcake several times"

call attention to this fact; Whether people voluntarily stop buying to prevent further imitation or are com- pelled to do so by high prices and lack of funds, the result will be the same. It means that many will temporarily be thrown out of work. Readjustment always causes suffer ing. Hence there is sure to be con- siderable suffering during the next few years This suffering can be lessened only as we save more, only as we buy more thrift stamps, put more money in the banks and purchase bonds.

THE AVERAGE MAN.


 The average man is the best off Every way. His chances for con. tentment are greater than those o1 the exceptional man, and content, ment is what we are after.
 The saying that it is as hard fo1 B rich man to enter the kingdom as 1t IS for camel to go through the needles eye, applies not only to those rich in money but to all who are favored or gifted in any way above their fellows.
 Any sort of a genius has hard time.
 Any kind of. an endowment bears against ones chances for content ment.
 The reason is that any extraor- dinary talent tends to unbalance ones character, and happiness is a result of athe smooth coordination of ones faculties. Most geniuses are lop-sided.
 So, mother, if your child is just ordinary, a normal, healthy person without any remarkable gifts, re- ioice, and be exceedingly glad. He IS not nearly so likely to come to wreckage. He is much more likely to live decently and die in his bed.
 We admire and envy exceptional folk, such as multi-millionaires, amazing fddlers and pianists, fam ous singers, theatrical stars, noted writers, orators, artists, surgeons, poets, and magicians. But such are the entertainers of the world. And the poor things usually eat their own hearts.
 It is much better to be an Average Man, and enjoy the Talented, than to be Talented.
 The Average Man is moral. He does not lie, steal, murder nor covet his neighbours wife. The exception al man is the criminal. Otherwise the law-breakers would lock the law keepers up in jail.
 The Average Man is sane. Other wise the sane would be confined in the asylums.
 It is very amusing Gin books) to note how the tigh-souled poet never misses a meal nor pays cent, but if the landlady's boarders were all poets of this stripe she would soon be in the poor house.
 The Average Men are sons ot Martha. They feed, clothe and wait \ onathe sons of Mary.
 .- It is the Average Woman who washes the dishes, sweeps the floor and cleans up after the party.
 Most of us are ashamed of being just Average. Most of us are fools We ought to be proud of it.
 The Average Man is better than any exceptional man. l mean nor, ally. He is fair, honest, decent and religious.
 It is from the ranks of the ex, eeptional men that are recruited the apostles of unrest, such as the beIlv-ache school of writers, the l. W. w., the pessimists, the re, formers and the anarchists. The Average Man is usually too busy supporting his family, educating hlS children and minding his own busl' ness.
 Hence, he is, as Bill Wye said, "ar agreeable person and pleasant to be thrown amongst"

roll Of the Illinois Meter Co. but
Tanlac, for | had already made
arrangements to give up my
position when began taking
it," said G. C. James, who lives
at 1419 Franklin Ave-, Spring
field, Ill.
Il had suffered from rheuma-
tism and stomach trouble for
fifteen years." he continued,
land got in such bad shape /
could hardly get about. The
rheumatism was especially bad
in my legs and sometimes my
left leg would swell to twice it's
normal size. My kidneys were
also in such a condition could
seldom get a good nights rest,
and so far as eating was con-
cerned well, before l began
taking Tanlac l had not enjoyed
a meal in years. / suffered so
from indigestion, and had such
dizzy spells | would have to lie
down. l became so weak |
often gave out completely while
at work and they would have to
take me home in a car, so it is a
wonder | held up at all.
Zone day one of the men |
work with suggested that try
Tanlac and as long as live /
will praise the day | bought it,
for | haven't a trace of rheuma-
tism now and | eat everything
set before me without any tad
after effects. The dizzy spells
are things OF the past and my
kidneys never bother me any
more; every night | sleep like a
log and | weigh just thirty
eight pounds more than | did
when | began taking TanIac. /

am in perfect health, and there
