R. H. Potter of First church Hartford. The experiences of loyal ty, obedience and trust lead Ghrfst's followers to certain great convictions and truths expressed in the Apos- Hes Creed. which proves it's vitality by it's continued use through. the course of Christian history through out the world.

The Story of My Garden.

In May I took my spade and rake and dug my garden. I made it very soft. On May 11th T. planted my beans, peas, beets, radishes and GU cumbers. It took me one hour and half. But my cucumbers and beans did not come up well because when it rained the water settled there so I had to plant them over.
 On June 1st I planted my beans. Ii took half hour: and on June Srd ] planted my cucumbers and it took three-quarters of an hour.
 May 22d my carrots were planted; and May 18th my corn.
 It took fifteen minutes to plant my carrots, and it took a half hour to plant my corn.
 I worked twice week on my gar den. and it came up very nice and had a good. crop.
 My garden was about three rods in length and a rod in width.

In recalling some of his strenuous ex- istence while in the Argonne Forest, which was about fifty miles square, Private Brink described the Lost Battalion as being situated on a high hill with valleys. on either side. For five days the Germans tried to reach the Americans, but the machine guns of the Lost Battalion succeeded in keeping them back. When Private Frinks company entered the forest it comprised seven hundred men, and when it came out there were less than two hundreds; the Germans having bombarded taem with trench mortars causing many casualties. Nine mem berS of the company volunteered to break through the German lines, so as to get a message back to the Americans. Five of this number were killed, and the other four succeeded only by slcilfu7 management and in a sealthy manner in the darkness. The American came to the rescue none too soon as food and supplies were near ly exhausted. Preceding the address an orohstra of six pieces furnished a brief but enjoyalfe concert lpro- gram. At the conclusion all united in singing America.

 The storms of the last week have been very severe and as for mail ser vice, this section has been isolated since last Wednesday, a period of five days although the main road to the center postoffice and to WiIlimantic has been passable every day. This has not occurred in this section since the R. F. D. was put into oper- ation nearly 20. years ago. It does not seem to be planed very well for a carrier to start from E,agleviIle to serve this part of the town having to travel over back roads that are sometimes almost impossible when Gurleyville is so near the Center post office and on a main road. =

ONE JAIL FOR FOUR COUNTIES.
Great Saving to Be Effected in Western
Massachusetts,.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, June 25.-At a
special meeting of the commissioners of
Hampden, Hampshire. Franklin and
Berkshire counties in the county court
house yesterday afternoon it was vir-
tually decided to consolidate the lails of
he western Massachusetts counties, ow-
ing to the decrease in the number of
prisoners, due to prohibition, although
definite action was postponed to July %.
1t was agreed that Springfield is the
logical center under the merger plan and
has the largest Jail. The fact was
brought out that the county Jail in
Greenfield has bat one prisoner and that
the commonwealth could save money by
maintaining one jail.
State Commissioner Sanford Bates in
speaking of the benefits to be derived
through consolidation, said that the state
would save 81 100000 a year in western
Massachusetts.
