PEHILs OF BEING GOVERNOR.

Young Charlie Templeton" Is go- ing back home-but just for day The governor of Connecticut will be welcomed by his former fellow towns men in sharon on the occasion of the Sharon street fair on Aug. 14. A platform has been raised from which the governor can make speech and if he wishes to remain until night he will have the pleasure of seeing "our musical revue and circus which we consider very fine," according to the | gladstone invitation extended to the governor by the executive secretary of the great event.
 Every town has some person of dis tinction to worship; some lucky towns have several others are forced to stretch the imagination to find some- body on whom to hang the mantle of state or national promi- hence. But it usually can be done. There are so many men and women who have attained outstanding suc- cess in something or other that most towns however small, can call at least one of them as their own pro- duct.
 Coy. Templeton frequently Is re- ported as having been born in Ply mouth. This it appears, is wrong. We don't know what Plymouth has to say to this, but according to Sharon, the governor was born right there and nowhere else. Plymouth may have been attempting to garner more credit than it's due. Whenever somebody said the governor was born in Plymouth nothing was said to dis prove the allegation; which makes of Plymouth 8 town that is willing to bask in the sunlight of a borrowed celebrity.
 The governor will assist in opening the street fair and perhaps will have a big hand in running it after he gets there. Maybe the dinged old fair will have to stop, while the governor greets his old-time chums who weren't smart enough 10 leave the town and make names for themselves, like inc governor did. Of course. the governor won't refer 10 this; hell let somebody think it, 1T there Is any time left for thnkiing during such hectic occasion.
 = One point has not been settled - Is the governor expected 10 spend money at such an event? Is he ex- pectcd 10 patronize the girls in the booths. just like q regular common citizen. or will he get anything he wishes free of charge? Something definite ,hould be forthcoming In this respect before the governor

 The Mason Tenders union are hold ing an outing tt Lake Compounce to- day, but among those not present will be the treasurer, who according to members of the union has made him. self scarce. It is understood that in looking over the books recently 1t was found he has not made any deposits for the past fourteen months. The outcome of his disappearance is watched with interest.

QUITTING THE mum.

Even the most optimistic did not expect such s thorough going success of the Dawes plan as has been achieved at the London conference: moi only have the eenferees agreed upon 4 compromise that includes practically all elements Of the plan as originally put forth. but the French. through Premier Herrioi, have agreed 10 the mooted point Of military evacuation of the Ruhr.
 The French premier, not sure of himself upon this point, returned 10 Paris for a conference with his eabi. net and gained their unqualified sup- port 10 eyacuate the heart Of indus trial Germany.
 The French appear to have showed remarkable willingness to get out Of the Ruhr probably due to the fact that the occupation did not bring the returns that Poincare expected. The former premier was a good hand at making promises and acted precipi- tately and in a manner to please the French industrialists at the time; but the costs were excessive, passive re- sistance brought on horrors, and the claim by Germany that the seizure was a violation of the Versailles treaty and the resulting refusal of the Reich to cooperate, made the occupation a sort of national white elephant upon the hands of French politicians. The occupation, which began Jan. II, 1923, yielded France raw materials but no gold.
 When Herriot returned to Paris, dispatches say he was greeted with wild acclaim at the railroad stations. and was given to understand by the thousands gathered to greet him that the evacuation was an entirely popu- lar move.
 The only persons such an evacua- ton will not please are the National ists, but they don't happen to be in power and appear out of the political running for some time to come.

EXPAND THE AIR MAIL.

The air mail service between New York and San Francisco, it Is stated, is not on & paying basis, and Post master General New opines that if it doesn't pay better within six months it may be necessary to curtail or eliminate it.
 Instead of being curtailed or elml- mated the air service should be ex- tended to Boston, and thus give large parts of New England an opportunity to make proper use of the system. Night flying should also be started between New York and Chicago, as the present system causes planes to start from New York In the morning, at a time when outgoing mail is at it's lowest. The speed of air mall be- tween New York and Chicago, for in. stance, loses it's impressiveness when if is realized that three out of four letters or parcels are ready for mail- ing in the afternoon, and if mailed to Chicago by train at that time they reach Chicago around noon the next day; and if mail is mailed in suffl- cient time to catch the fastest trains in the early afternoon it will reach Chicago next morning.
 Mail going further west, of course has the advantage in time, as trains over the longer distance cannot re- motely compete with the fiiers.
