1t is pumped throughout the building. An overflow pipe carries the excess water to a drain.
 The grounds about the structure include a large expanse of lawn. At the south side there is a little cove which is to be utilized for flower garden. Other identification work will be undertaken next spring. Set into the lawn on the west side en- trance is a brick walk extending to the street The last touch of exterior finish is seen in the roof which is entirely of Vermont slate of vari- gated eolors harmonizing favorably with the brick color in the rest of the building.
 Accepts Oil Painting
 Arthur c. Morse in behalf of the library association, accepted beau tiful oil painting of Miss Abigail May. daughter of Dr. Samuel May. who married Col. John May. It was painted in l7Ss. The family lived in Boston. The eldest son of Col. John May and Mrs. May, William R. May settled in Pomfret about 1925. and the painting descended to the present Mir. w. R. May the 3rd. Louisa May Alcott of Concord. Mass, was a granddaughter of Col. John May and Mrs. May. The painting, which is remarkably well preserved. is placed on the east wall of the library.
 During her address Mrs. Belle Hol- comb Johnson took occasion to read the following original poem she wrote for the occasion:
 Al Home The books are At Home" The word has gone out Friends of East Woodstock Of your welcome no doubt. The books are lat home" Nc more will they wander From pillar to post Contended they settle In quarters the most Luxurious they ever Conceived in their dreams So lovely it all
 Like a fairy tale seems. The light and the sunshine, The space and the air, The beauty of finish The entrance so fair. The fireplace is glowing The pictures and flowers Surely nothing is lacking To provide happy hours. The books are lat home" They're but waiting for you To answer their summons, Your choice you'll not rue. Good comrades you'll find In books many score. Examples of friendship And patriots lore.

Meaning Unimportsnt

In modern times we do not attach much Importance to the meaning of names We are influenced by the euphony and suggestion. Sometimes out of deferenee to some rich or be- loved relative or some admired cele- brity or national hero We name our children after them, hoping that the child will emulate some desired trait.
 Many English exhiles in the Unit ed Netherland and America christen- ed their infants, Peregrine, which means Pilgrim. Others like Moses, named son Gershorn, that is, driv- en out, in token of their expulsion from their native land. While the English family name was derived from places, trades, occupations and characteristics: the Dutch harked back to the land and sea and articles of clothing; but the Swedes praise the beauty of nature. They reflect in their names the mountains, streams, trees and flowers of their native land.

Naming the Baby

Naming the baoy They talked of Medora, Aurora and Flora. Of Mabel and Marcia, and Mildred and May; Debated the questions of Helen, Ho- nora, Clarissa, Camilla and Phyllis and Fay. They thought of MareelIa, Estella and Bella; Considered Cecilia, Jeanette and Pauline; Alicia. Adela. Annette, Arabella, And Ethel and Eunice, Hortense and Irene: One liked Theodore, another Leon ora: Some argued for Edith and some for Elaine, For Madeline, AdeIine, Lilly and Laura. And then, after all. they decided on Jane. They gather in solemn council, The chiefs in the household band They sit in the darkened chamber A conclave proud and grand; They peer in the curtained chamber And each with one voice exclaim, As they point to the new-found treas ure, ., "The baby must have a name"

 Warden Thomas said the cell blocks were in one of the fire traps which the state lawmaking bodies for 12 years refused to remove. He said the prisons were flooded with convicts far beyond capacity be- cause the state refused to build new ones.

AIaskans March to Polls to
 Select Party Candidates in
 Primary Elections Tuesday,

Alaskans tomori ow will march to the polls in the biennial primary elections to nominate party candi- dates for Delegate to Congress, four Territorial officers, legislative po- sitions in each Division and Divisi- onal Road Commissioners. The polls will open at 8 am. and close at T pm. throughout the Territory.
 With but one contested place on the Democratic territorial slate and fone other on the Divisional ticket, public interest all over Alaska is largely centered on the Republican primary in which there are con- tests for every nomination except one.
 Big Vote Expected
 Local political leaders predict the biggest primary vote ever boiled in the Territory, especially the heavi- est Republican vote by reason of the many contests in that party and generally owing to the large number of nominations that are at stake.
 The unopposed Democratic candi- dates for Territorial nominations are: For Delegate, George B. Grigs- by; Treasurer. Richard E. Hard castle; Commissioner of Education, Anthony E. Karnes, all of Ketchi- kan; for Auditor, Thomas Gaffney of Nome. R. J. Sommers, present encumbent, is opposed for nomina- ton for Highway Engineer, by Will liam A. Hesse, Ketchikan. The former is conceded to have the support of the party organization and is favored to win
 The party's Divisional candidates are: for Senator, Allen Shattuck unopposed; for Territorial Repre- sentatives. Frank A. Boyle, Thomas B. Judson, and Albert Vile, of Ju- neau; A. H. ziegler and E. L. Sampson of Ketchikan, with four to be nominated.
 Hot G. o. F. Contest
 The contest around which the widest interest centers, is that for Republican nomination for Dele gate. This has seen the re-entry actively of Judge James Wicker sham. former Delegate. into the political arena. He retired from Congress 10 years ago and has not been an aspirant for any elective office during the past decade.
 Attorney General John Rustgard, a long time associate of Wicker sham's in the political field, is opposed by the latter in the race, MT. Rustgard is admittedly the Ad- ministration candidate. This is evident from statement recently issued by Capt. A. E. Lathrop, Re- publican National Committeeman for Alaska, in his own newspaper, the Fairbanks News-M in which he pledges his support to MT. Rustgard. He said his visits to Washington and conversations with officials there had convinced him Alaska needs there "a delegate who can and will make friends with these various agencies of the Gov Iernment and who. by so doing. may pave the way for that legislation

and material assistance from the National government which it so materially needs. A delegate who antagonizes and fights with those who are in a position to aid Gs can be of little practical benefit to the Territory, am therefore support ing MT. Rustgard's candidacy and will extend to him all the assist ance can give"
 Pledges Cooperation
 In his campaign addresses Mr Rustgard has pledged to cooperate with the Federal agencies and par ticularly with the Bureau of Fish cries with the view of obtaining every possible recognition of local residents in the salmon fisheries industry. He has attacked his op- ponent's sincerity on several grounds and questioned the mo- tives behind the movement spon- sored by him to bring suits against the Federal government for the Southeast Alaska Indian tribes fol alleged alienated holdings of lands and natural resources.
 Judge Wickersham has rn a d ( everything possible out of a speech delivered by his opponent at An chorage two years ago in which MT Rustgard waxed highly eulogistic oi Wickersham.

 TARIFF ITEMS
Conflicting Programs of
 Two Parties Indicate Warm Time
LUMBER AND SUGAR
 ENGAGE ATTENTION
Conference Committee Did Not Iron Out All of
 Difficulties

WASHINGTON, April 28.-Sharp- ly conflicting party tariff programs give promise of vigorous contested legislative battle when the House takes up the issues this week which were left unsettled by the con- ference committee, on rates on sugar, lumber, shingles. cement and silver.
 The Senate's amendments in cooperating the export debenture for farm relief, plan for modify ing the flexible provisions of the present law, will be brought up on separate votes.
 Sugar Trouble Point
 Members of the House believe that Sugar is the most sharp con- tention and an effort will be made by the Republicans to have the House approve the rate of 2.2 cents a pound on imports from Cuba.
 The Democrats intend to support a 2 cent duty voted by the Sem ate. The House originally voted a 24 duty.
 Look for Compromise
 Many Republicans are of the opinion the dispute on the flexible provisions will be settled by some sort of a compromise.
 The Senate also voted to fevoke the authority now vrssed in the President to change the rates and restore it to Congress. This is op- posed by the President.
 Fight Jsn Lumber Rate
 Representative Hawley said the House would agree to the Senate duty of $50 per thousand board feet on soft wood but would in sist upon its own rate of 25 per- cent on shingles. Both are now on the free list.
 The Democrats, Garner said, would keep both on the free list.
