THE FREED COON.

When deep bell-throated hounds are
 baying, And mellow shines the hunters
 moon; Gay rigadoons the winds are playing Where corn stacks hide the ring
 tailed coon. -~ Rattle the corn-stalk castanets; From out the night mist's filmy nets Scurries the coon's black, padded
 feet, Seeking some tall trees high retreat. Hey! for the cornfelds, rich and
 yellow! Ho! for the pack hounds clangor
 mellow; Neigh ho! for the hunters, glad and
 free! But oh! for the ring-tailed little fellow That other fellow up in the tree. Afar he hears, now rising now
 falling, On the cool night winds varying
 tides,
 Melodious clangors-the leaders call ing
 The pack to center where he hides: His pointed ears alert are hearing The death note in each echoing cry {; His shining, sharp black eyes are
 peering Down where the frosty shadows lie. Poor little coon! they could not get
 you,
 If only the hunters would go away ; But the hunters rife will not let you Behold the dawn of another day. Hey! for the hunters moon so
 yellow, Ho! for the hounds with their baying mellow!
 Neigh ho for all the glad things that
 be;
 But ah! for the little furry fellow The ring-tailed fellow up in the tree.

but he writes his views of the all night lighting of the Fire District. His disapproval of the latter is ap- parent, on the supposition, perhaps that it will increase the taxes of those residing in the district.
 Time was when Canaan had no street lights and those who were out after dark probably carried lanterns, unless it was moonlight. Then, through the progressive spirit of it's inhabitants, kerosene lamps were used for illumination. The convent ,ence was appreciated, here as else where, until the scientific develop ment of electricity made it possible for towns no larger and some much smaller, to illuminate their streets at comparatively small cost and no details to look after. Would it not be another progressive step, especi- ally if the town wishes to keep in the vanguard of those surrounding us, as we'll as for the convenience of our people, to have all night lighting?
 MT. Beebe also objects to using the bank and insurance tax for building sidewalks and thinks it unfair to those who have already built them. He offers no solution to this problem, but suggests that the town be bonded for sum of money with which to build walks. Even then he and everyone else who has sidewalk, would be paying for the fellows who now has none.
 If the Fire District would use the $tG0 or $175 received yearly from the bank and insurance tax for side walks, it would not necessarily mean they should be built of concrete or asphalt Suppose the money were exrended for cinders, for instance, could not long stretch of exceed ingly muddy walking be avoided each spring and fall. It would also each spring and fall? It would also permanent walk at some future time. Rome was not built in a day-nor would it ever have been built if some thing was not started.

Correcting Misleading Impression

To the Editor:
 The article in October 20th issue "Housatonic Valley Road" is rather misleading. The purpose of our visit was to locate suitable sand, gravel and stone; to secure samples and have tests made to determine their fitness for a cement road. It is fact that there is an abundance of good sand and granite between New Mil ford and Canaan as the tests indicate. Commissioner Bennett needs no in- troduction to cement concrete roads as he has constructed over 160 miles since he has been in office. If ce- ment road can be built with local materials, you can be assured that the Commissioners business acumen and farsightedness in anticipating future development in the Housa- tonic Valley will lead him to select that type of pavement which will give the taxpayers the greatest return for the money invested. The mainten- ance on the concrete roads built by the State Highway Dept. up to Jan. 1st, 1921 was less that $50. Fifty Dollars per mile per year.
 While the present traffic over this route is light, once developed it will open to the tourist a direct gateway to Massachusetts and the Berkshircs.

MILK AND THE POOL.

The pooling plan inaugerated by The Dairymen's League is still at tracting more or less attention and comment throughout league terri tory. Naturally there seems to be two sides to the question, but the angle of the situation in which we are most interested, as we'll as ~the majority of poolers and non-poolers in this section, is: what progress is the league making in its attempt to establish permanent cooperative organization which will act as the middle man for milk producers?
 Captious criticism we have no time to deal with, nor has any req sonable minded person time to lis ten. But when we read that a num- Der of non-poolers have formed an organization in New York state, simi- lar to what the Dairymen's League used to be, it at once attracts more than passing notice. This organiza- tion is opposed to the present league methods on the ground that they are unbusinesslike and un-American.
 We are not prepared to take up the defense of the league, but would it surprise anyone, if an organiza- tion of this size should make many mistakes? We learn that it has al- ready acquired a number of plants in New York state, the latest pur- chases being those of the Nestle's Food Company, which include several in Otsego and Chenango counties.
 The question in which milk pro- duccrs are interested is whether or not this lusty infant is growing normally or abnormally. If the lat ter then the problems of the dairy men are still as far from solution as ever. The question will be answered in a measure when the contract that members of the pool now hold ex- pire. Should there be general re- fusal to sign it will undoubtedly mean the death of the league.
 Time alone can show whether the Utopia of milk distribution as it relates to the dairymen, has been found. For the sake of peace and prosperity among the farmers in general and the consumers in the cities, we hope it has.

TWO FAMOUS YANKEE SHIPS
Bear, in Humble Service, Still Are Making Good"

Trading along the west Mexican coast carrying panocha, hides, bees wax and other freight is the fate of the once proud American gunboat Mar blehead.
 The vessel has been sold to Jose Delallave, a Mazatlan ship operator, by the United States government for a few thousand Mexican dollars. Del allave has renamed the Marblehc2d the Agua Prieta.
 Thus passes the old "pepperboX," Capt. Bowman H. McCalla's ship of Spanish war fame, with a proud record of achievement right up to the days of the last Victory loan drive, when the Narblehead left San Francisco as the navy's victory ship" remarks Our Navy.
 The announcement of coast guard authorities that the U. s. c. c. cutter Bear probably never will sail into the North again marks a sharp turn in the history Of one of the most famous adventure ships flying the American flag.
 After more than two-score years of battling with ice foes and arctic gales, the Bear is under orders to make San Diego her base and serve as a training ship for coast guard recruits.
 Since the Bear, in charge of Com mOdore Schley, later admiral, rescued the seven survivors of the Greeley arc tic expedition in 1884 she has been ? devoted to service In the northern seas with the navy, the frontier rev enue service and n recent years as part of the coast guard fleet. She was built in Sco;i;,nd in 1874 as a whaler and sealer.
 The full story of her career would constitute library of stirring tales. Among her many duties she has kept watch and ward over the Eskimos, car ried the law to the shores where Kip ling said no law extended, protected the fur-seal herd from pOachers of the "Sea Wolf type, and given the sane tiOn of the white mans standards to marriages beyond the arctic circle.
 Natives, teachers, missionaries, traders and marines in the North have for a generation regarded the annual cruise of the Bear as a routine part of tbelr existence.
 Not a season has passed-including the present one-that the Bear has not saved lives by imperative operations performed in her sick bay, by the res cue of marooned or shipwrecked crews or by landing provisions to the inhab- ftantS Of isolated shOraQ
