The fire department of Clinton,
Mass. has two rival claimants for
one job as permanent fireman. 1t
has only one bed at the fire station.
The result is that the men, Patrick
A. Mcdonald and Reginald Bates,
pursuing the theory that possession
is nine tenths of the right to the job,
sleep in the same cot. jump out to-
eether on night alarms for the quick
slide down the pole and, generally,
try to get in two mems activities
where only one is called for by rule
and pay. The controversy is no fire
house furry: it has grown into a
state issue. The Massachusetts Fire
mans Association and the State Civil
Service Commission have taken op-
posite stands.

1t was Hattie Mckinley, n dainty
little Brooks girl who walked away
with the championship for pig rais-
ing in the Waldo county Boys and
Girls clubs this year and this is not
the first time she has done it either,
it being her third consecutive year
to accomplish such a feat.
You would never think it to look at
her. She is about the daintiest,
sweetest and most attractive girl in
the assembled clubs from the top of
her curly head to the tips Of her OK
fords. She is always smartly dressed.
You wouldn't think to look at her
that she had ever heard of pig but
she has and she knows just what TO
feed them to make them grow big
and fat for the market and besides
all this she has many other accom-
plishments. She won first honors in
canning and first in poultry raising.
She is still student in High school,

FIND NO BOOZE ON
 SUSPICIOUS TRUCK
Auto Held Up by Meriden Police Found to Be Loaded with
 
 TypcwrfterS

Meriden, April 25.-A fve-ton Mack truck. loaded with Underwood typewriters and adding machines and owned by the Woodland Transporta- tion company of Hartford, was stop ped here last evening and take to the police headquarters upon request of Federal Prohibition Agent McAuliffa of Hartford. After the truck. and the men with it were taken to police headquarters, Lieutenant William b. Thayer communicated with the fed eral agent who told him to let the truck go.
 The truck was driven by Harry w. Coville and was accompanied by Rose well B. Porter. At about 11:45 o'clock the local police received word that a Mack truck bearing Connecticut reg istration 21-559 was headed toward Meriden. Federal Agent McAuliffe sent word to the local police to stop the truck if it passed through Meri- den.
 Shortly after that time Patrolman Kurcon made inquiries of a south bound truck driver, who said that he had passed Mack truck that was giving hand" to a Ford that had been stalled on the road north Of Meriden. At about midnight the Mack truck came along and was talk en to police headquarters by Sergeant John Custy and Patrolman Walter Krucon.
 The driver of the truck was good natured about the affair and said that there must have been a mistake somewhere. He said the load of box es was inspected by Federal Agent McAuliffe before the truck left Hart ford. This information was given to the federal agent over the telephone. and, after the names and addresses of the men had been taken, they were allowed to continue their journey.

EVERYTHING LIMITED.

Dear Corner Sisters: l think Marie is J. M. P. Am l right? devoutly wish the Corner may prove to be inexpress.b.y pleasing to you and a complete satisfac- ton. It is always wise to want as much as you can get But I shall think We are pretty lucky to have you in our Corner. I don't think you will be dis contented with us-you know We don't have that in our Corner. Discomfort lies in the tendency it gives you towards traveMng to a Kelly slide with She curb limited. As I was writing the word limited it reminded me of a story of an old farmer who went to one end of the swaying coach to wash. He could find only few remnants Of soap. Boy he drawled, there don't seem to be much soap here" "No. sah," chuczled the porter. You know this is the limited Eerything aboard am limited" Then our friend tried to fill a glass from the water cooler. He could only force out a few drops. "Where's the water, bov2' Not much water, sah. Dat am limited too"
 Presently the porter brushed the old farmer down, and the latter handed hin nine coppers. 'Why, Boss" protested the porter, yo gib de porter on de ud der porter a quarter" I know that ehuckled the old farmer, 'but you know this is the limited"

LIVE TO MEAN SOMETHING BIG AND
 REAL,

Sisters of the Corner: I want to re- ply to E. w. A. and say l do not think you have a leakage of the heart. If you did you would feel pretty weak think your nerves are at the bottom of that rapid beating you seem to experience. Mine has had the same feeling at times.
 Do not sleep with your arm over your head, l often say that your nerves chloroform you and then look out you'll have the 'sblues' and every thing else.
 Now the high blood pressure I would not worry about as it is not dangerous. Eat as little meat as possible, drink one small tumbler of buttermiIk night and morning, keep your bowels open and as Janette says, live so that you mean something big, something real in anoth- er's life! That's the whole story.
 Throw your interest, your time your effort into making a life for somebody, forgetting your own hopes, your own ann bitions Cor at least, setting them aside that some others dreamers may dream big dream true) and you'll find the spring from which bubble the waters of lasting youth. Go after the real thing the sinking of yourself in the current of other lives. and then the years will be kind; the heart of youth will stay alive within your own breast; and the soul of you (which is really you) when you stand naked in the market place" will learn that years following years steal something every day. At least they steal us from ourselves away"
 would prefer to have sent this to you personally, but as you requested 1t for the Corner I comply with your wishes. KITTY LOJJ

MEMBERS SHOULD WRITE AND
 SHOW THEY ARE NIENTRERs

Dear Editor and Sisters: Pollyanna No. is responsible for my writing this letter and I have been trying to find time for it ever since the April meeting of Club No. 1. understood her to say that when she signed Pollyanna to her first letter that she did not know that there had ever been another of that name in the Corner, and it does not seem to me that she is much to blame for that, as the first Pollyanaa has not written for four or five years, unless l am much mistaken.
 Now it seems to me that every member ought to write, at least once a year. to keep their name on the editors book. but if any member fails to write for several years, and a new writer happens to choose her name, then, instead oa printing it as No. 2, let the editor say in note under the letter that one by that name is already registered, bur If the first one wishes to continue a mem- Der under that name she should wri.e within month to say so, or, failing to do so, the new member would be allowed to retain the name.
 Also, when the Corner lost its first l member by death, some one, Rural De 1 livery, think said he hoped that nu 1 one would ever use her name again, but with new members coming in all the | time. most of them have not known the ones that have gone, and I do not see | why they may not use the pen names | that can not bc used again by the ones l that first signed them.
 wonder what has become Of x. Y 2. | Valentine, Enid and Hannah Who? Wish I they would write again.

SORRY FOR THE MIxuP

Dear Social Corner Editor: Somehow there seems to have been a grand mixup in names In last weeks Social Corner was letter which sent to you the week after Twice Twenty's party. h. stead of having my name signed, it was signed Bug" Now, Bug would never allow herself to write such a nonsensical piece and I can imagine she might justly feel quite peeved. I've had the name of Nixie for a number of years and it seems more homelike. Besides do not approve of duplicate names and am sor- ry to have made so much confusion
 So much has been written as regards crowding out lads" Did it ever occur to anyone that the Editor kindly prints our letters free gratis while for the ads he receives pay. It seems to me only right he should insert them where 1t seems best. I don't think he has ever Intentionally omitted any Social Corner letters by so doing as he has type which will spell "continued' when necessary. | He ought to receive bonus for printing them in such a conspicuous place and I for one hopes he does.

EARLY EXPERIENCE WITH MATCHES

Dear Social Corner: Thanks to the kind editor for the last yellow slip, and thanks to all the loved ones who so kindly sent so many letters, cards. flowers and sweets to make my 90th birthday a happy one. They brought me love. comfort and cheer. I would like to clasp the hands of each one in prayerful love for their future wei fare
 As my thoughts go back to other days, remember the story told of the first min ister in Goshen, Rev. Jacob Eliot, who was ordained and installed the same day that the church was organized, Nov. 18th, 1729. few years after on returning from visit to his parents in Boston, for which it took three days each way by stage coach. he brought the first matches from there. As he showed them, the peo- pie thought it dangerous thing to so carry fire in vest pocket.
 Near by him lived colored man who had a COW, and it was a question where he found hay to keep his COW through the winter. Missing some one morning, and thinking it was time to want more, MT. Eliot went to the barn at night to watch. Soon the colored man appeared with some ropes which he laid down, put on some hay, and after tying it up put it on his I back and left. The minister followed, and at safe distance lighted a match, threw it on the hay and stepped behind a tree | to await results. The frightened man soon threw off his blazing burden and l began calling:
 De good Lord forgive dis time. I'll nebber steal massas hay any more" The lesson he learned was Honesty is the best policy"

CLUE No. ? MEETS LINE 1sr.

Dear Social .Cornerites, old and new: How are you all this nice weather? l was pleased to see that many of you were able to go to Twice Twenty's picnic. I was sorry not to be one of them but hope to some time if she has another
 Deliah Deal: Did you look for me on that trolley? I thought of you all having such nice time. Hope to see you June 1st at the Buckingham Memorial. I was glad Calla Lily got her courage up to write that letter. We had talked it over many times but got no further; but The Corner is growing so big that We hope there will be some who will be willing to take some of the responsibility and take their turn as hostesses, and if not I think basket lunch will be the best; Lut it will not provide the sociability that there is when we all sit down like one tig fam fly, with each one taking care of their own dishes. However. we can decide that at our next meeting. Be sure and get there prompt. Dinner will be served at 12 noon sharp, I think daylight saving tibe and hoping to change to standard time Hoping for a good day and a nice time
 Yours for The Corner.

soArE GooD Punn1Nns

Dear Cornerites: Perhaps others in the Corner are as partial as I am to pud- dlngs. They are preferable in my case to pies and never tire of them. There are or course likes and dislikes regarding puodlngs as anything else, but farina pudding With fruit sauce you can safely set before your most exacting guest.
 To make 1t, boil one quart of milk, pour in ten ounces of 3arina, cook TOT 70 minutes. Add two pinches of salt two ounces of sugar. two ounces Of butter, mix well and let stand for ten minutes Then add eight raw egg yolks and six raw egg whites whipped to a stiff froth. When well mixed fill in but tered molds, three-quarters full Cook in a bain-marie 40 to 45 minutes. Serve with fruit sauce.
 Fruit Sauee-Dilute one pInt of Jam or fruit juice in same quantity of light syrup. Boil and strain into an- other pan. Cut into small suuares va rious kinds of preserved or fresh fruits, Add this to the sauce and boil again. If too liquid thicken with a little corn starch.
 Strawberry Cottage Pudding: Make an ordinary one-egg loaf cake, slice it into individual portions to serve while still hot, and over each portion pour the following sauce: Cream one heaping ta- blespoon butter, add one-half cup pow, dered sugar and the stiffly- beaten white of one egg; beat all together until very light then add one cup of mashed straw. berries with their juice.
 l have been watching to see if some one would send in their way of mak- ing meringue> for lemon pies. I canno seem to get good results.

JOLLY TIME BY cLUB yo. 2.

Dear Social Corner Editor and Sisters: Howdy After such a long lapse l feel l must write a few lines.
 Have just returned from Club No. 3's meeting in Lebanon. Such a jolly social time, with so many dear sisters present, and such a delicious dinner. What more could one ask for? There were about 20 sisters from Club No. l. All in all, it was very happy and successful time missed some of the Lebanon friends and to see them next time. As you must know, all friends are welcome. I was sorry Merry Farmer Boy and H. M. L. were not there. Practical Polly, we missed you, as you are one of the faithful ones
 This makes the seventh Wednesday, So- cial Corner meeting I have attended dur ing April and May, so am getting to be a regular gadabout.
 How I do wish you could all have at- tended the meeting at Twice Tweutyis. She is an ideal hostess and has an ideal husband. and the dearest home. Every corner radiates comfort and welcome. And such dinner, and the lovely new sisters we met that day! I shall never forget that birthday l celebrated that day. | Now, Calla Lily, I am going to eriticiz, your last letter.

MAGNOLIA GIVES ENDORSEMENT.

Dear Cornerites: Deliah Deals echo of Gala Lily and the club workers was only lacking the red pencil OK to it. I hearti- ly endorse it but would add little more. At one dinner I was seated by a strange young lady and there followed the usual question: What is your pen name?" "Oh, I don't belong. work in an office and was invited by a, member to come up and get my dinner. They serve a fine dinner at a little cost, so I came rather than lunch at restaurant"
 I said : 'fWhy, this is for club mem bers only, and you must be a writer and have one letter published in The Bulletin and have pen name before being eligible to come to dinner. or else De a personal guest in the home of club member-so the rules say"
 Of course, if there were not such rules the hostesses would be as busy serving dinner as any public lunch room would be, so that is the reason for being so strict I don't think that anyone who be- longs should harber any hard feelings | towards the expression of the request oI restrictions. If we let those who want if public and not for Cornerites only get uy and take a hand. so I'll say right heyl

 Grandma H.: So pleased to hear you have a way of getting out to the meet ings.

 Bob White; I always enjoy reading your letters.
 Merry Farmer Boy and H. M. l.: Was so pleased to see in your letters how kindly you suggested that each sister bring a friend to Club No. 3s gathering May 18th at Lebanon Grange hall I think you express the true Social Ger her spirit and am sure that clubs 1, 3 and 4 heartily will endorse your senti- ments
 Gala Lily: was grieved when I read your letter. Did you voice the wish of Club No. 2 or only that of the stand ing committee. Really it sounded a bit selfish instead of social. Am sure after the efficient way dinner was served on May 4th, you should not lack assist ants. Surely you can find some at every meeting who will help as there are al- | ways wiling hands. It Is too much to l ask the same ones every time. IoE course we all feel the Social Corner dinners ar. not for the public but feel a sister has some rights. Where would we got ou1 lovely new members if we followed SC narrow a rule?
