nature"
This is the observation of John Bur-
roughs, famous naturalist, who Is
spending the winter at Pasadena
Glen, near here, and recording his
observations on the psychology of old
age. Mr.. Burroughs will be eighty
four on April 3.
The great naturalist says he Is tax
ing things in an easy way" for he
feels he has about completed his life's
work. His mind Is as keen and alert
as ever, but he complains that he
tires quickly after long mental appli-
cation.
II did not tire until after five or six
hours of work until recently" he
said. "Now can't do much more than
two hours at q stretch"
His latest published work, Accept
ing the Universe" does not show any
lessening of Mr.. Burroughs vigorous
powers, for in IT he discusses many
phases Of nature and human life.
Mr.. Burroughs has a kindly face. a

speaks with deliberation- His hearing

RELIGION SPIRITUAL FLOwERING

"T am persuaded that a man with

term, is q spiritual Towering. and the
man who has 1t not is like a plant
that never blooms.
"The religion Of a man that has no
other aim than his own personal
safety from some real or imaginary
future calamity is of the selfish, ig-
noble kind.
Amid the decay OF creeds love
of nature has high religious value,
This has saved many persons in this
world-saved them from mammon-
worship and from the frivolity and
insincerity of the crowd.

Town Council Takes Action After
Hearing Report of Chief Engineer


Hearing Report of Chief Engineer
The price of electric current in Dow
er was reduced from fifteen cents to
ten cents per kilowat by Town Council
at its regular monthly meeting on
Monday evening. The minimum rate
of $1.5O per month was left unchanged
1t was also decided to reduce the slid
ing scale prices for motors in proper
tion to the reduction for Illuminating
purposes. The street lights will re-
main burning all night and will be
turned on each evening at the proper
hour. This action will dispose of the
former procedure of not burning the
street lights on bright moon light
nights. The reduction in the current
prices is effective on December first
and was made possible through the in
stallation of the new equipment re-
Gently made at the plant. The chief
engineer estimates that through the
use of this new equipment, the plant
will save five hundred tons of coal per
