A preacher came at the editor in
this way: "You editors do not tell
the truth, If you did you could not
live, your newspaper would be fail

And the editor came back at the
minister in this manner: You are
right, and the minister who will at
all times under all circumstances tell
the whole truth about his members,
alive or dead, will not occupy his
pulpit more than one Sunday, and
then he will find it necessary to
leave town in hurry. The press
and the pulpit go hand in hand with

Heed The Danger Signals!

IF we are not aft as fiddle" in the morning;
if we don't feel better than when we went
to bed; if our breath is offensive and we have
that bad taste in the mouth, Nature has set
the danger signals for us and we cannot at
ford to neglect the warning that she gives.
Probably eighty per cent OF all diseases
originate in the digestive organs so it is evil
dent that if we have stomach trouble, however
slight, we are foolish indeed if we do not take
prompt steps to correct it.
Stomach trouble is almost always followed
by a complication of diseases. One OF the first
being an overworked liver, with all the symp-
toms of bilousness, followed in turn by head
! aches, coated tongue, dizzy spells, pain in the
back, palpitation of the heart and other dis
tressing symptoms
Sooner or later the kidneys will become in
volved and that is just why these danger sig
mails should be needed in time. A wise man
puts out the fire before there is too much de-
structon The same theory should apply to
stomach trouble.
The American people have learned that
Tanlac probably provides the surest,
safest and quickest remedy for all such
troubles, and millions upon millions have
taken it with the most astonishing and
gratifying results.
That is the reason for the phenomenal
success of Tanlac and that is why it is
proclaimed the worlds Greatest Tonic.
Tanlac is sold in Alexandria by Edgar
Warfeld, Jr, and leading druggists
everywhere.

PROGRESS SLOW
 DURING THE YEAR
Heavy Taxes, Chaotic Financial Conditions and Minor Wars
 Hamper Recovery in 1921 :
By EDWARD W. PlcKARp

Back to Nofmalcy was the slogan of 1921, not only fin America but in all the civilized nations of the world. But minor wars, internal economic dis turbances, chaotic financial conditions in Europe, widespread unemployment, famine In Russia and other hindrances made progress in the right direction slow, excepting, perhaps, in the United States.
 When the year opened the peoples were grooming under the burden of taxation and depression resulting from the World war. As if drew to a close they were still grooming but had hope fully turned their eyes toward Wash ingtOn, where the representatives of great powers were negotiating inter- national agreements that would elim- mate some of the causes of war, es- peclally In the Far East, and limit the means of making war In the success of this conference and of oth- CTS that might grow out of 1t lay for the time being the hope of humanity.
 Efforts to enforce the terms of the treaty of Versailles resulted in con flicts among some of the new nations created by that pact, and several of the older nations were involved in warfare. Germany, working fast to recover her old position in the world of commerce, was hampered by the disastrous decline in the value of the mark, and her leaders protested con- tinually that she could not possibly pay the war indemnity. Pence negoti- ations between the British government and Sim Fein were brought to sue cessful conclusion by which the Irish Free State was constituted.

COUNTY FARM BUREAU
 IS REORGANIZING Litchfield County Farmers De- eide To Support Their
 Organization

The members of the Litchfeld County Farm Bureau decided at their Annual Meeting last November to affiliate with the Connecticut Farm Bureau Federation and American Farm Bureau Federation and to give proper financial support to these organizations. Therefore, meetings are being held in each community in the county to explain to all farmers why this action was taken.
 Seven meetings have been held already and in each case it has been evident that many farmers who have not been members in the past are now ready to join the County, State and National Bureau. For this reason a farm to farm canvass is to be made beginning January 3rd and continuing throughout the month, one day to each town, thus giving every farmer a chance to join in the movement which is doing so much for agriculture.
 The Hartford Times in an editorial of Wednesday, Dec. 28, comments on the Farm Bloc in Congress and goes on to state:
 "The farmer bloc did not grow up all in a minute. It did not get start until the American Farm Blu reau Federation got the farmers of the country to thinking in unison and showed them how to organize their sentiment, so that it would be effec- tive in places where gather states men who keep an ear close to the ground for sounds from back home. You cannot scratch very deeply the "hide" of a farm bloc congressman virus distributed by the farm bureau federation has gotten into his system.
 Farm bureau federation ideas on transportation run to lower rates on farm products and farm machinery. On the tariff they run to the protec- ducts from foreign competition such protection" as found expres- sion in the emergency tariff law. On tax matters federation ideas run to the retention of high surtaxes, excess profits taxes, etc., and opposition to the sales tax"
 Whether the American Farm Bureau Federation is rightly credited with the organization of the Farm Bloc or not it is sure that the work of the Bloc is appreciated by every farmer who is interested in making a more satisfactory living from his farm.

The Evergreen A. C. broke their losing streak Saturday night, by overwhelming the Winsted Emeralds 47-29. Perhaps Old Lady Luck took a hand in the outcome, as this was the local five's thirteenth game of the season, played on the last day of the year.
 Roy Beaujon was the big star of the evening, sinking nine field baskets and five from the foul line. The Mail Mauler slipped the ball through the hoop with as much ease as he slips your letters into the mail pouches. Jimmy Keenan, the Conn. Power Cyclone, turned in some bas- ket shooting that electrified the fans and stupefied his opponents. He had seven shots and made five of them, all nice long ones but one. Besides that, he covered his man so well that he made only two baskets. Blass and Baldwin continued their steady pace, each getting three baskets. Proper secured a pretty one from the doorway. Gondalli put up a good game in the few minutes he played.
 Morton and Colligan starred for the Emeralds, the former making six double-tallies and the latter four Simmons secured two and Victor sank one. Score at half-time was 26-12, with the Evergreens in the fore

 on Saturday

c. J. Cooper, a dairy farmer of Illinois, will speak at the Town Hall in Canaan on Saturday, January seventh, at 1:30 P. M. MT. Cooper has a message of interest to every farmer or farm family in Canaan. His personal knowledge of transpor- tation, tariff tax and legislative prob lems and the results of the increased use of filled milk and other so called substitutes is of great interest and value to all.
 Mr Cooper is not an orator but is an interesting and convincing speak CT, one of the very best in New Eng mad today and he knows New Eng land agricultural conditions.
 This is the sixteenth meeting at which MT. Cooper has brought to the attention of Litchfield County far mers and their families the future of the most important economic, legislative and transportation prob lems which are confronting Ameri- can agriculture today. These meet ings are under the direction of the Litchfeld County Farm Bureau CO., operating with the Connecticut and American Farm Bureau Federations and are called to acquaint the far mers in each town with national agricultural problems and the part New England farmers have in solv- ing them.
 Every man, woman and child who is interested in farming will be in terested in what MT. Cooper has to say, so make a real effort to hear him on Saturday and if you cannot go be sure that some one goes from your house.
 There will be no soliciting for memberships at this meeting.

LAKEVILLE MANS PATENT
Old Principle on New Invention
 of Joseph Parsons

A new application of simple heat ing principle in connection with fire places, patented by Joseph Parsons, of Lakeville, and the patent later assigned to the United States govern ment is dwelt upon to some extent in the farmers bulletin 1230, issued by the United States department of ag- riculture, entitled "Chimneys and Fireplaces, How to Build Them" :" The bulletin gives information as to the correct location and size of f1ues and other important points in the matter of heating are discussed. The invention of Joseph Parsons, which is set forth as marked improvement in heating systems provides for the supplying of oxygen to the fire.
 Instead of supplying the fire with oxygen from the cold air flowing in through cracks around windows and doors, the inventor suggested making the house as airtight as possible and supplying the necessary oxygen through a special opening in the chimney, placed in such a way that the incoming air would be warmed by passing over and around the fire. An extension of this idea is the pro- vision of an extra warm-air fiue which would carry fireplace heat to a register in the coldest part of the room.
