Lloyd Fowler'S watch has been mlsbehaving. Prior to the intro- duction of daylight saving time, Lloyds watch just refused to keep time on a regular basis and the schedule at McCarthy's Store sui- fered accordingly.
 My Day" tGosh, It's too had some folks cannot really have . day t0 talk about We checked up the other day tO see how many things had been ac. compllshed and how many re- quests made. The requests heavily Out-numbered the accomplish ments. A lad called tO ask where he could get a pair of setter pups. We missed him, but the answer is Bennetts Kennels on Main street. An awakened citizen wanted in- formation about the new route of tho controversial U. <. Q; walking through a garden, we found a piece of Indian pottery; measured two fine trout and heard com plants from . New Yorker who failed to get n rise; looked over a trout brook, some upland acreage, an old house, and . log cabin built by . Lithuanian and re-shcathed by . Yankee. Got a little mall without . single reject slip, or ac- ceptance. Heard that local yOkelS are at last receiving "applicatiOn blanks" from the Training School Commission but the said applica- tons are hard to fili out.

The Tanks and the Irish are alike in their love of independence and their hatred of regimentation. That's why the remakers of Amer lea never succeed in grating cock eyed European paternalism on New England.
