The members ‘and invited guests including several members of Stanley Post, G. A. R., though some who had intended to come exercised wise caution in not venturing out into the country on such a severe night, enjoyed an excellent supper that had been previded by the committee. The principal address was delivered by Rev. Morris E. Alling, pastor of the Congregational church in Rocky Hill. The key to his message was expressed in the words of God charg- Ing Abraham not to sacrifice his son on the dltar, as he was preparing to ‘do. The principle drawn from it, that the fathers ought not to sacrifice their sons through their follies and sins, as the world continues to do, even if not on an altar of wood by fire, was impressively applied to many differcnt phases of life. A strong ar- raignment was made against war, at the same time with the recognition that war might be inevitable. Some of the dark aspects of our national outlook were pictured, but over against them there was expressed an optimistic confidence in the true spirit of Americanism. Interesting short addresses made by Veteran's including Post Commander S. H. Wood, Comrades Tatham and Howell and by Pastor T.ounsbury Patriotic hymns were cung at the opening and conclusion.

Stanley, who has con- ducted Cedar Hill Farm for the great- er part of his life. has retired from active business because of ill health and has transferred the businéss to the Cedar Hill Dairy company.

Trains Behind Time, The cold wave of the past few \days has been instrumental in causing the delay of many of the trains on the main line between Boston and New York. . This morning trains that wer due ‘about 2 o'clock went through the station neear 7 o'clock and then had to proceed with a great deal of cau- tion as the frost during the night had thrown some of the rails out of posi- tion, making it impossible to pass. The same conditions existed between Hartford and Springfield and thus both north and south bound trains were off regular.running time. Mrs. Mary Malley.

R. Officials Appreciative. Addressing the gramgers of Whig- ville at their meeting last evening, Joseph A. Fagan of Scott's Swamp, Connecticut'8 potato king, predicted a world famine, because of the ten- dency to flock from the farms to the cities, and urged every man who owns a square rod of land to bend his ef- forts towards making it produce something for the human family to eat. Mr. Fagan was invited to speak before the grange but instead of de- voting his talk to the cultivation of the tuber he discussed the American boy and his chancés of ‘‘getting on.” Among other things he said: “I come to you tonight at the re- quest of my friend Mr. Joseph W. Backes, and of course he like every- one else thought I would speak on the subject nearest my heart (and some would say my pocketbopk) po- tatoes. Of course I shall be glad to impart any information T have on this subject if anyone is particularly in- | terested at this time. In my opinion | cverybody who owns a square rod of land ought to bp interested in raising{ potatoes or anything else the human family can eat. P believe that we are entering a world famine, and those of us who know how. sheuld bend our energies to feeding the world. Our efforts will not be in vain so far as profits are concerned, for I think any- thing raised from the soil in the next few vears is going to bring very high prices.

I can remember when most boyvs attended school in the win rm only—and had a good day's work to do as well. As for school in spring, summer and falt it was entirely out of the question. “I want to tell you the story of the life of one American boy, whom you all know, whose life and present posi- tion in the world it seems to me should be an inspiration to every young man. i “Now our boy Wwas never unusual nor especially gifted in any direction. | He didn’t play ball any better than the average, he never was at the head of his class in any study, he was just an ordinary boy. But he listened to his mother and her words of wisdom, and sometimes used to tire of her forever reminding him that procrasti- nation was his besetting sin, that ‘what was worth doing, was worth do- ing well,” that she wanted him to grow up a good man, and all of the ather things a fond mother will instill into the mind of her boy. He was lazy, for he says so, and his father often chided him for lying on his stomach to pick strawberries. However, he was much help to his father in sawing wood, doing odd jobs about the house, and sometimes assisting in grafting and budding fruit trees, “At the age of fourteen our boy was obliged to leave school without having passed the examination in all the four studies to entitle him to what is known in New York state as a Regent’s certificate.
