Emergency Hospital for several
weeks returned to his home on Sat

along very nicely.
Mrs. David Vinyard who has been
so seriously i'll with pneumonia is

up a short time each day.
Rev. A. G. Thomas is also better
and was able to take up his duties
on Sunday.
The local w. C. T. U. met at the
home of Mrs. Ernest Simpson on
Thursday night and as the cam
paign for getting new members is
on there were six new members

their names and dues. Mrs. Thomas
was elected a delegate to attend the

be paid to this club and it is to meet

course this is a branch of the w. c..
T. U. and it is very essential to be-
gin with the young children and as
they grow up they will be purer and
better. Every mother is urged to be-
come a member of this club. know
mothers are very busy people but

HUDSON ESSEX WILL
HOLD DEMONSTRATION WEEK

Hudson Demonstration Week fol
1000 Motorists" is announced begin
ming today, by c. M. Hammond &
Son, Hudson-Essex distributors. Un-
der this plan, the Hammond organi-
zation will specially provide cars 50
that all motorists may conveniently
have an opportunity to drive Hud-
son Super-Six.
That the definite arrival of spring
weather has brought with 1t de-
mand for big cars with special ab1I-
ity to "step" at high speed on the
open road, is indicated in an official
statement from the Hudson Motor
Car Co. that the last two weeks have
proved the most active in the sale OF
Hudson Super-Six cars which the
company ever has known. it is to
stimulate interest still further that
the Demonstration Week is announ-
ced. There will be extra Hudson
demonstration cars so that all inter-
ested may ride without delay or in
convenience.
"Only demonstration can prove
the range of performance offered by
this car" said Mr.. Hammond. You
will never feel that the slightest ef-
fort is exerted by the motor-whe-
ther for short, swift spurts or sus-
tanned all-day runs. You round
curves safely, due to the new low
center of gravity. Yet with all this
power it is economical to operate
in gasoline, in oil, tires and mainte-
nance.
Besides its exceptional perform
ance, Hudson interests the motorist
with a unique body story. In recent
years the prosperity of the country
has brought about an increased de-
mand for bodies of a finer and differ
ent type. Hudson has met this situ-
alton by going to a famous New Eng
land custom-builder, and contracting
for the plants entire capacity. Thus
manufacturing and selling costs are
Iessened and Hudson is able to pass
along to its buyers the advantages of
custom-building
zone needs only to see the new
Hudsons to appreciate their jisting-
rished beauty and charm, but one
needs to drive the car to realize why
those who have had the experience
mite in exclaiming: Nothing ike II
in the world
sHThe great growth In Hudson sales
h.e come without the slightest Ill
effect on Essex; it is evident that we
are far oversold on all Essex MOD
els"

Straw Hat Time.

One may now inquire, without
being premature. what kind of a
straw hat his neighbor will wear
this year. But the question will
not provoke a discussion of the
new spring styles in straws and
their relative merits and popul
arity. Invariably such an intero-
cation will bring one or two an
swers, either new one" or last
years. ~
The straw hat, has developed
among the members of the stron-
ger sex strange inconsistency.
Men may venture forth in a re-
furnis he'd last years model but
the most unconventional, wheth-
er the owner of a new or ressur-
rected grass kelly dare not treat
with disdain the calendar limits
fashions has erected around the
straw hat season. To appear in
public wearing a straw hat before
the season opens and after its
fall closing is to invite suspicious
of eccentricity or rusticity. Only
country squires and retired jud-
gns can violate this fashion de
cree with impunitv.
1t may be true that men observe
the rules and edicts of fashion
less strictly than women, but wo-
men could not observe any one Of

The Real Commencement

The seniors are graduating.
From the elementary schools,
from the high schools, from the
colleges and universities they are
being ushered forth to new fields
of activity, new experiences, new
problems.
Some of them are through with
school. For them this is a real
commencement of the BATTLES Of
life.
But some are through with
school, none is through with
study. Though some are through
with scholastic preparation,
none is through with that contin-
ual, sustained application which
is the accumulative preparation
of all who are fired with the am
oition and zeal of which success
is born.
Whatever the field of action to
the graduates now seek entrance,
they will find that the price of
advancement, of service and re-
ward, is indeed the commence
ment of study and preparation
upon an ever-increasing scale.
Some there are, no doubt, who
like to think that they now are
through" Indeed they are
through through with hope and
through with ambition and thru
with advancement unless they
now commence.

Do you realize that according
to the u. S. Gems is of 1920, there
are 1,023, 225 NerWegians in the
United States, either born in Nor

ents were foreign born, and that,
and according to the same census,
there are actually upwards of 6
half million residents of the
United States who were born in
Norway? These figures become
more significant when we realize
that the population of Norway in
1920 was only 2,649, IT'S.
And because Of this sturdy ele-
ment of Norsemen making up
the one-hundredth part of Amer

fitting to call attention to May II,
Norway's Constitution Day, cele-
brated and held dear by
Norsemen wherever they may be.
Under its Constitution, adopted
May II, 1914, Norway became a
constitutional hereditary monar-

and legislative power similar in

NIGHT
(By Estel Sutherland,)

The sun was hidden by the noun
taia crest,
And the stars We're out far
above;
The nightingale TO his mate
Was singing a song of love.
The ola barred owl sh-.'ieked his
cry
And all else was quiet for a
moment,
Under the starry sky.
The whippoorwill was singing
From his perch in the old apple
tree,
And the leaves quivered in the
breeze
Like ship on stormy sea-
Gay chirpings came on my ears.
Close by
The crickets were out Wooing,
Under the twinkling sky
The air was decked with sweet
ness
That ripe apples freely shed,
And the timid flowers of Autumn
Gently bowed their lowly head
AS the mufmuring wind passed
by,
Hummir g it's merry singsong,
Under the moonlit sky.
All! lovers walked beneath that
moon,
And breathed the sweet night
air;
They peeped at twinkling stars

State Chemists Declare War
on Makers of Fake Con-

Chemists of the State board Of

acrupulous merchants selling concoc-
tons of corn cobs and brown sugar
us pure maple syrup" according to
announcement by Frank Koehne, of
the pure food department.
Every spring during the maple
syrup season we are flooded with
complaints from people who thought
, they were buying the good old-fash-
toned syrup, only to find that they
purchased at very high price either
adulterated goods or synthetic imi-
tation," said Koehne.
lie explained that the methods of
making the bogus syrup are almost
(, without number Brown sugar mo-
lasses favored with corn cobs or
oak bark is the most prevalent, al
though granulated syrup favored
with maple extracts is common.
Short Season
Owing to the shortness of the sea-
son it is hard TO detect all OF the
imitators, he said, but the health de
partmeht asks that anyone who has
bought syrup suspected adulterated
send in samples to the board for
analysis.
Detection of adulterants is compar-
atively simple. the chemist explained.
Lead associate is added to the sus-
pected syrup and the solution boiled.

a pearl-cream colored sediment forms
in the bottom of the container it is
an almost certain indication of pure
maple syrup.
Tell.tale Test ...
II the sediment or filtrate is a deep
brown however, he said, that is an
indication that brown sugar has been
added to "cut" the syrup, or that the
composition is merely sugar and
artificial flavoring.
Sometimes there is no sediment.
That is due to the syrup being made
of granulated, or refined sugar and
maple extract. The absence of sedi-
ment is explained, Koehne said, by
the fact that in the manufacture of
refined sugar lime is added to the
raw, or brown" sugar to remove
the color.
