Sixty-two men and women, resi- dents of the Long Society School dis trict, at mass meeting in Long So- ciety school house on Smith avenue, Monday night, signed a letter ad- dressed to the town school committed, protesting the proposed action to close up the Long Society school house after the present school year The meeting also empowered the chair, G. Warren Davis, to appoint committee of five, or which he is to be a member, to wait, on the school committee at their meeting this (Tuesday) evening and present the letter of protest.
 When it became known last week that the school authorities proposed to abolish the Long Society school. representative citizens of the district got together and decided to. call the mass meeting to protect the propos- ed action.
 G. Warren Davis called the meeting to order at the schoolhouse and asked the meeting to appoint a chairman and clerk. MT. Davis was nominated and unanimously chosen chairman and Howard Spalding was the unanimous choice for clerk.
 You all know why this meeting has been called, said MT. Davis. Five years ago we met here to preserve cational liberties. This school was then in jeopardy. There was a strong effort to close the school, but our pro- test prevented the closing. Last Sep tember school had been running for ten days or two weeks when, as far as 1 know, without notification the superintendent or some other official ordered the third and fourth grades closed, throwing the children to Greeneville or Preston school. This school was located here by our fathers to accommodate the peo-- pie in this district. I don't know of any better location. After the clos l ing of the third and fourth grades l last September, without a ripple of excitement, last week information was | brought to our teacher by Supt. Gra- ham that the school will probably be | closed entirely.
 1 We have discovered by a census
 which ended today, that there are
 4SS people in this district nearly i 500, or 1-60 of the population o1 i this district number S4 and childrer
 under school age number 53, tota | of 137 children. There are 115 home. in the district and ten newly mar ried couples. We are not declining

 Here MT. Davis read the followini
 letter of protest which he suggeste,
 might be acted upon by the meet ing:

NOT ENOUGH WHEAT
 IN FRANCE FOR BREAD

Paris, April 12.-France's wheat stocks are so low that a greater amount of flour substitutes must be used in bread at least until June, when, according to the governments programme, importations of more wheat will be received.

For wheat and maize, the proportion is seventy-five per cent. to twenty-five per cent. Sixty-five per cent. of wheat may be used when it can be mixed with thirty-five pr cent. of rye and maize.
 Where beans and peas are used they must not exceed five per cent.

JITNEY TO GUST RICKsHaW
March of Progress in Japan Means End of Vehicle So Dear to
 Heart of Tourist.

That familiar ancient relic, rick shaw, slender carriage drawn by man-power, seems now on way to it's deathbed, to tl!e great wall of curious tourists. The existing narrow and bad roads alone are keeping up its life. Whether for good or for ill. the growing severity of the worldwide struggle for existence has been com polling the reluctant Nipponese to for sake many of the antiquated things and institutions that had long been dear to their hearts. Esthetically dis posed men like Lafcadio Hearn would have Japan remain forever 'pictur- esque" and curse the skyscrapers and factory chimneys; but nation. like an individual. must live. and live decently too. Present age is no dOuh. an age of machinery; and no man. power can cope with the general tide of the world, and hence the mechaniZa tion of almost everything. Neither can nan-power pretend to rival with me chanical force-it must give way to a roller. an automobile and cinema. And rickshaw now must give way 10 jitney. It had its day. But the rick shaw men do not think@so. They have the love and respect of their trade. When lately the city of Yokoh;iIna granted license to big jtney bus company, the rickshaw men attempted a desperate effort 10 smother the prof. ect at the outset, but 1t proved in vain. And numerous baby-motor cars, allowing two passengers, will soon be speedily carrying people around at the rate of 25 sen per mile.-East and West News

CRETE ONCE A GREAT POWER
Mistress of the Sea When King Minos Ruled-RemarkabIe Laws Under
 Which People Lived

Minos, king of Crete. exercised 8 preponderating power on the sea; he drove out the barbarous Carians from the Cyclades, and exterminated piracy which among the Greeks had been openly professed; he kept the people of the coasts in awe of him, and at the same time forced them to pay him tribute.
 Crete was advantageously situated to become mistress of the sea, but at length confederacy arose which put an end to her dominion. Minos wish ed to render the Cretans mild and gentle fin their manners. To attain this object he allowed free indul- gence, Plato says, to licentious excess. even of the most flagitious kind. hop ing that the refinements of gal Iantry would mitigate the native ferocity of his subjects.
 As individuals the Cretans pos sessed eminent skill in military af- fairs, while the laws which they adopted prevented the state from un- dertaking any great enterprise abroad They elected ten cosmos. or regulators, to govern in peace and war. and when the period of their office was com pleted they remained members of the legislature. The judges were all men of advanced age. and young men were never allowed to propose a change in the law. and all proposals were made in the senate. and secretly. Slaves titled the soil, and the citizens ate to- gether in public companies. while the country was divided into twelve DOT tions for agriculture and business.

LINEMAN FOUND WIRE THIEF
Bull Moose Was cuIprit Who Had Disturbed the Telephone com-
 munication of Many Counties.

When the bull moose in the fol- lowing story became tangled in a mass of telephone wire, it took a careful rescuer to get him free. The Incident occurred in the Maine forest region north of Bangor. In the Elec- trical Experimenter, the lineman who was sent out to repair the damage de- scr1bes his experience:
 took up the trail, and a couple of miles down, near Daisy Dam, I found the slack wire and the break, but, to my surprise, I could find but one end. Finally I found the other end 500 feet farther on. What had become of the 800 feet?
 soon found out when I got back to the break in the line. There stood bull moose as big as a truck horse, looking straight at me, as much as to say, Here's your old. wire Come and get 1t p
 The moose stood just at the end of the road, with six or eight turns of wire twisted tightly round his horns. several turns round his neck. and 300 or 400 turns of slack behind him.
 Sneaking round, with the moose watching me all the time, I managed to get hold of the slack wire and hauled in until I got the end, when I made fast to big tree. Then, cut ting good-szed sapling. started toward the moose
 He began to sidle round, with head down, mane bristling and blood in his eye; it looked like war. Pretty soon, however, he managed in his circling movements to make turn round an- other tree, which gave him much less scope. and when the wire came taut with his constant traveling he stum- bled over it and fell in heap.
 Now was my chance! I sneaked up as close as I dared-maybe within 15 feet-and shipped off the wire with my pliers.
