'PUSSYFOOT' SPEAKS
 AT CENTER CHURCH
Famous Prohibition EzhOrter
 Coming to New Britain Monday

'Pussyfoot" Johnson. perhaps tn,
 most outstanding figure in temperance
 and prohibition work iffthe world to
 day. and who has just returned iron
 his latest campaigns in South Africa
 and Egypt. will deliver an address a
 the First Congregational church Mon,
 day evening.
 This eXhorter against the liquor
 business seems undaunted by his ex-
 perience in having an eye put oui when he yNas mobbed by his oppon- ents in London, and is still travelling up and down the world under the banner of the leagues against alcohol ism. of which he is the world pub- licity agent with headquarters in London. His home is in Westerville, Ohio, and in Who's Who in Ameri- ca he is set down as William Flu gene Johnson, born in Coventry, N. r., 62 years ago. His grandfather emil grated there from Colchester Conn. 4 sister, Mrs. Walter J. Booth, lives at Roxbury, Conn.
 His subject is "The Cross and the Crescent" and will tell much of con- 1 fields. He will also touch upon phases of law enforcement in this country. Mir. Johnson was commissioned by the late President Roosevelt to SUD- l press lawlessness in certain sections of the west. During this time Johnson secured about 5000 federal indict- ments. He later was appointed to a similar position to the Philippines under President W. H. Taft. He is blood brother" of some of the western Indians.
 He has spoken in practically every civilized country on earth. and his travels have taken him to some coun- tries not wholly civilized. He has just returned from a journey across Africa, from Cape Town to Cairo, distance of e,a50 miles, in which he made I07 speeches.
 sIn South Africa, where wine grow ing is a great commercial enterprise, the people went to hear him by thousands. He was able to tell them that prohibition has not ruined tho grape industry in tho United States, but that vineyard mon have been more prosperous under prohibition than before, and this was a revelation to them.
 Starting from Cape Town he cov- cred pathway across the entire con- tinent and visited the ancient cities Of Alexandria and Cairo, where he found very helpful and growing prohibit tion sentiment. As was the case in India two years ago and in New Zea- land md Australia n year ago, his being an American stood him in goodl stead for he found people eager to -fearn what America is doing and ready so far as possible to follow Americas lead.
 When he stopped on the island of Zanzibar to change boats he found that the Sultan of the island had de- creed prohibition for the natives. I'm. mediately upon his arrival large mass meeting were held to which the Sul. tan sent his official representatives.

PICTURESQUE ENdLIsH FARM
Painting Of Demesire At Great Haut-
 bOis Hangs In Noted Gallery

One valuable lesson that many an old English farm teaches is the importance of preserving and embellishihg, when eyer possible, features of natural beau 7ty. If farm is picturesquely situated, an effort is generally made to retain part of it's natural advantages and not to turn al of the available space to practical account.
 The Church farm at Great Hautbois, in Norfolk, England, is an admirable illustration of, this point. The farm house, built in 1640, appealed to John Crome, who introduced this Jacobean dwelling in his painting of Great Haut- bOis Common. This picture now hangs in the Metropolitan Masedna. in New York. The house itself has been care fully restored and improved since Crome's day, but he surroundings are very much as. they must have been in the eighteenth century and even earlier.
 Beyond the small garden, full of old-fashioned, sweet-smelling flowers and herbs, is a slight rising crowned with grove of pine trees. Farther on the tiny river Bure zigzags it's way through rich meadow land. Across stretch of pasture is another. copse where the foundations of a Norman castle are still visible in the thick grass. Near by is the iyycoyered ruin of a medieval church. Christian Science Monitor.

AgIOw With Stories Of Wonder
 fuI Trip West

Members of the Birmingham Retail Grocers and Butchers association, who have just returned from the twenty seventh annual convention held at the Biltmore hotel in Los Angeles, report one of the most successful and enthu. siastic gatherings ever held by the na. tional body.
 Two important matters were acted upon, the formation of the Associated Grocers of America, which will enter the jobbing business and indorsement of the Better Grocers bureau of the as- sociation. Plans were made for extend, ing the activities of the latter organiza; tion.
 Dubuque, Iowa, was selected, after a warm contest, as the meeting place for the next convention Columbus, Chattanooga, Omaha and Birmingham also made strong bids for the gathering Entertainment features included many specially arranged trips for the delegates. A frolic at Venice, Cal, and trips to San Deigo and Catalina 1slahd provided new and thrilling experiences for many of the delegates.

SUBJECT, LEGION URGES

Patriotism will be one of the
subjects taught in Montana schools
as a part of the American Legion
Americanization plan if the state
department of the organization
has its way, Newt GilIiland, Mon
tana commander recently asserted
at a meeting of the Miles City Post.
Mr.. Gi1liland stated that a COM
mittee had been appointed at the
recent meeting in Helena, the
duties of which would be to get
intouch with the proper state au-
thorities and force the issue. Mr..
GilliIand stated that the teachers
can do more toward making good
American citizens than probably
any other persons.
Mr.. Gililand also announced
the appointment of John Fitz-
gerald as field marshall over the
posts of Treasure, Rosebud, Gus
ter, Powder River and Garfield
counties. His work will be to
assist in bringing the various posts

GIRL OF THE ROCKIES
MAKES PETS OF LIONS

Cornelia Baker is the daughter
of Bob Baker, champion "Iive
lion" catcher of the Rocky noun
tains. They live on the western
boundary of Glacier National park,
where Baker has captured 500
lions in the last 20 years, thus
earning the record of having done
more than an army of big game
hunters in protecting the deer of
the vast game preserve of Uncle
Sans, according TO a recent report
from the bureau of national parks
at Washington.
CorneIia makes pets of the cub
mountain lions that are some
times included in her fathers
catches. He trees and ropes the
old lions with a Iariat.
The tragedy of it all is that
CorneIia has to part with all her
pets when they grow UP and feroc-
ity take the place of their Glowing
~cuteness." Her father then sells
them to ~circuses and CorneIia
cries at the parting. Then it is up
to dad to bring in another litter
of lion cubs for Cornelia to raise
on the bottle.

The buildings at Fort Ellis are
in a bad state of repair and are
rapidly decaying. The last trace
of the stables has gone. The little
group of log buildings marking
the officers quarters face north,
and front upo ma broad street form
erly used as a parade ground. AT
the western extremity of this is the
guard house, a frame structure
built after the cavalry came. The
canteen stood near this, but it has
disappeared. Opposite the offic-
ers' quarters and facing the street
are two long, frame buildings, the
barracks which were built when
the post was enlarged after the ar
of the cavalry.
Some distance southeast of this
collection of buildings stands the
hospital in a little grove of trees.
Still further on, on the southeast
