On Saturday, Selectman Ruby, and family, with guests, including his near neighbor, Leon O. Woodwork, made a Stutz motor party to Hartford visit ing the Atheneum and other points of interest.

Pierce, and daughters, in Provi- dence, R. I. Miss Emma Poutrey, is the guest of Mrs. Kitty Burdick Dim Ock at Moose Meadow.
 Saturday was a singular day, weather-wise While the upper stra- ta of clouds were hurrying southward the lower strata, that brought the drenching rain, were piling up in dense masses from the south, the wind twisting the trees like a cyclone, and then came quiet, warm sunshine and marvellous rainbow that spanned the whole eastern sky.
 A timely item for fair week is the appreciation of Charles WOodworth, ianitor of Memorial church, of the square deal with his neighbor, Charles Eldredge, in the old Fenton district, by which he is in possession of a handsome Jersey five-years old heifer that yields, daily, 22 quarts ot milk, three of which he sells, has plenty for family use, and makes seven pounds of butter each week All in confirmation of the oft repeated ''There is nothing like a Jersey as \ family assett."

were given by some of the members,
and several bulletins from National
Headquarters were read; also a let
ter from the Home Service Branch
OF the Y. NJ c. a., renewing their
offer of free Scholarships for ex-
service men. A committee was ap-
pointed to secure a new home for
the post. This has been under con-
sideration for some time, but on ac-
count Of the unsettled condition OF
things II was decided to wait until
a better opportunity offered itself.
Two amendments TO the constitution
were read and laid over until the
next meeting, when they will be
acted on. The post appointed a COM
mittee to send a letter Of thanks to
Mr. Bolton. OF Smyrna. the state
chaplain, for his work at Dover for
the eX-service men during the re-
cent state Legislature.

members Of the post which were in
teresting, notably one by James II.
Hughes, United States District At
torney. who spoke on Americaniza-
ton, and that by Herbert W. Wier
on China, which was instructive.
Mr.. Wier has just returned from the
Orient and has a lot of first-hand
information about the famine condi-
tions in China. He told Of one very
amusing incident OF a beggars strike
in Pekin last winter.

During the past couple Of weeks,
II has been brought to the notice of
American Legion officials that per-
sons. unauthorized by any one, are
collecting funds in different parts of
this city, claiming that they are for
the American Legion. These persons
have no credentials of any kind with
them. All persons are warned that
no post of the American Legion is
collecting money in that way, and
that no one would ever be allowed
to solicit funds for any purpose un-
less with proper credentials stamped
by the seal of the post and with that
of the State Department.
The American Legion during the
past week won a fight that it has
been waging almost from the time of
its organization to have all the Gov

QUICK TO SOLVE PROBLEMS
According to Woodsmen, the Wolf Is
Capable Of Displaying Sagacity
That Is Wonderful.

A correspondent having written a
letter to the Star expressing doubt
as to the truth of the story that
wolves. having chased man up
tree, went away and brought back a
beaver to cut down the tree for them
50 they could get the man, we have
been much impressed by the number
of witnesses, especially old-timers in
New Ontario, who are sending us let
tiers tending to add authenticity to the
story.
Wild animals, these witnesses de-
clare, are strong In instinct, and work
out problems instantly which one
would suppose could only be done by
arithmetic. In one letter the writer,
who lives in the COchrane district.
gives his theory as to the manner in
which the wolves got the beaver to
the tree. According to the story, a
dozen wolves went off on this errand.
This number was in order that they
might kill a deer, and use it's hide as
q toboggan on which to haul the beav-
er to the spot and take him back again
after he had felled the tree for them.
This theory must be accepted as in
genious and nterestlng.-kansas City
