GOVERNORS’ BOSTON sCON- FERENCE, " It 1ssa good thing for the governors of the states of‘the union to meet and cat in-Boston on the 24th and several days thereafter, for it will wipe out ©1a prejudices and tune up thelir good “Opinion ofone another, and create o closer relation between the states. .1t is times the old cobwebs of mis- npderstanding were swept away and 4hat a healhy spirit of cooperation #nd an equal protection of our mu- tual interests were established. New England is better, broader and more generous: than some of the re- mote sections represented by these governors thirlk, and their interests and ours more, closely interlinloed. If they onlyslearn that there,can be no prosperityfin other parts of the eountry with New England left out, and that New . England cannot be thrifty with thesother sections left out, they will have learned the primary lesson which will form the foundation for a union of interests and a strong pull and a long pull together. The get-together spirit is the thing we need to Invoke—the spirit strong- er than the spirit of good fellowship for it embraces good citizenship, good governmental perception and effective action for the good of all sections and _‘hll our people, %° THE GAME OF THE MALLET. 2 There is nothing effeminite about the jgame of roque, or croquet modernized, thut there is something about it fas- ‘cinating enough to keep it allve for @ go0od many centurles. : Roque has had its ups and downs, ‘and, like other ancient games, has lost ‘and won in popular favor. There is ot the exercise in it there is in golf “r tennis, but as played on modern Tourts it requires walking and fine cal- Julations to be a skilful player. Norwich has been the meeting place Pf the National Croquet assoclation for about 40 years, but is far from Jeing the only croquet center in the Tountry, since courts have been estab- lished at Cottage City, Springfield, ass., Philadelphia and Milwaukee for alf a century or more. % Norwich changed its name from a two s¥llable word to one; but who changed its name from’the “Game of the Mal- det,” and its malls to courts in days @gone no one knows. The concreted nourt was at New England invention @nd the elastic or billiard table sides Svere invented by western enthusiasts Fho cover their courts with a build- Ihg and made croquet an all the year $ound game. It came into England $¥ith the anclent Gauls and is still pop- War there as a lawn game. = One or two distinguished players ve arrived and the annual tourna- ent will soon be opened. Roque 'ws to Norwich a class of gemle- en who are always welcome and Whose departure is regretted. SUNDAY JOY: RIDING, Every Monday morning we see-in the papers a group of automobile fa- alities headed up as “the harvest of eath,” and most of them are directly blo to the.bad habits orispeed- linania of those who go pleasure riding. ‘8n Sunday. :7 These accidents are so common in {the remote and qulet!rural districts fhat an up-to-date rural near Philoso- pher recently observed: ‘It's a darn Fo .

A Philadelphian hasfinvented a tele- phone system which promises to do away with allepresent:systems for sig- nalling trains because it is better. This invention makes:it possible to bring the danger and clear signals into the engime cab *where the en- gineer can seel them. An automatic brake attachment hasfbeen added and tested on an engine. All are operated by the two-volt current, which the device (draws up from the steel rafls. This dewice also ‘will throw a red light into- theicab iof the engine of the secondgtrain. A train in the next block back .of this will be automati- cally slowedydowm by the device and a green light will show in its ensine. This is made possible by another fea- ture of thesdevice, which reverses the current in the second block at the same time that the current in the first block is short-circuited. The battery along the track will sup- ply current to the first train through the “shoes”fand steel rails. Then the telephone?can be.used and connection made through the system to the main wires along-the track, which will be connected'; where the “current enters the block. . It makes no»difference how fast the train is moving, any telephone system may be connected. with it and conver- sation be carrfed on with passengers ,the same as if they were at home, This invention utilizes the same cur- rent that now is used on rallroads to operate electric signals and merely is a means of getting this current onto the train. 9 EDITORIAL NOTES. Self-preservation may be the first law of nature, but America was slow to learn the lescon. It is queer but the most ardent labor agitator ever thinks these wives of ours should have an eight hour day. When the war is all over we may feel like thanking Germany. She woke America up without making war upon her. Col. Bryan calls himself a “humble individual” So humble individuals demand $300 a night for their services. No wonder they are rare, In the south the play of politics marks the picnics instead of the coun- ty fairs, hence the rolitical season there begins much earlier. A great English sclentist ventures to fell us the fly is more deadly than war. The littlef rogue must be the tather of widows and orphans. Germany's faith in itself is a good example. She first captured the trade of the world and now she has faith she can capture the world itself. Among late orders from the allles is one for four billion cigarettes for the men in the trenches. Coffin nails are in bjg demand at the front. S R Roosevelt calls Bryan a milk and water statesman and some call Roose- velt a blood and thunder specimen. Both are good enough in their sea- son. e Since 1816 following the Napoleonic war was summerless, the same is pre- dicted for 1916. Ice on July 4th and snow on :August 30th. Will history repeat itself? The new American aeroplane that can carry two men and a ton and a hlf of metal 85 miles an hour is a war machine that is likely to carry terror with it. The ancient tablet which mixes Noah up with Paradise was written a thou- sand years before Genesis was com- posed; and it supplies evidence Kings have been I grip for 5,000 years. The Man on the Corner says he ‘can’t see Why:some men look as if they had to fight for thelr rights ‘every minute, and the women who are fighting for their rights don't look that way. e ‘What a dollar will buy is an edu- cative factor, especlally if it is compared with what it used to buy a ‘few years ago. The dollar is:getting to Be more like the pin-wheel and less like the care-wheel. Tt is the image of the fabulous ‘wealth the contractors are going to make which prompts American work- men to strike. It isn't German, in- fluence, but the hope labor may get its_share of sponge cake. Here is a real breach of neutrality: Little German bands can play any hour of the day or night in American cities and the Italian organ and street piano players are held firmly to the houza.af fram, & s m, to § Dom. -, make for goodness or ekill is Ihirx to be invoked. As : “It is mot only necessary to l‘- aolve to be good, but to be good for something.” In our counsel we fre- quently fall short of our aim. In speech we get half way there oftener than we reach the goal. If we propose to give good advice it is to say enough to make it.effective. Tell- ing youth to have am aim in life is far from beln‘ a bull's-eye shot. A no r-philosopher says: “The Lord Sroman ahd she made herself over ln‘to a lady.” There is no doubt the first specimens of her handiwork were quite a credit to her, but the lady has become so variable that the ariginal lady no longer serves as & model. §hen it comes to the idle, or butterfly lady, and lhb.l.lhdy, the latter is most useful. Think of just bem an ornament in socity and smpe upon it that you will in he‘van become an angel. The founda- tion looks too flimsy to sustain the hope, doesn’t it? There is such a thin as true womanhood, but who would’ dare to speak of true ladyhood? The washerlady would objetc to wearing a hood, or to being hooded in speech. The true woman is a divinely appoint- ed helpmate, while the modern lady is only a rufning mate. And some wom- en insist upon being considered ladies as indicative of something more re- fined than being a mere woman. Why should the other fellow’s opin- ion nettle us? More than half the opin- ions in the world are either based upon false conclusions or senseless prejudice. Dependable conclusions upon what we hear cannot often be made. He may tell us we are a fool in his opinion, and it is up to us not to prove that he tells the truth. Because he calls us a fool doesn’t make us one; but to brawl or fight over a prejudiced or a base- less conclusion surely makes us appear like one. Few people really have opin- ions that are worth airing; and those ‘who keep their opinions to themselves escape disclosure and are frequently credited with wisdom. persons venture to tell others their opln.lnn of them, and it is best to let them have all the feelings over it. Silence is never more impressive than when in their wrath people say untrue and pro- voking, things. “You're another! never e the other fellow feel cheap or sorry. Hattie Tyng Griswold opens one of her poems with this query: “Where did we go last night when sleep came down and shut your eyes to all this world of care?”” We go to the land of peace, or the land of dreams, which is sometimes a land of turbulence as well as beauty. Blessed, indeed, are those who have no bad dreams; and twice blessed of those who sit*in ce- lestial groves and talk naturally and sweetly with the loved ones gone be- fore. What is sleep? It has been de- fined as “a friend to the friendless and a home to the homeles: It is a wizard which can make the shepherd feel equal to the king, and the poor feel ag rich as Croesus, and the in- jured or comfortless feel as calm as the angels. Sleep makes the weary feel fresh, the worn feel vigorous; it restores energy and reinforces hope. “Where did you go last night when sleep came down?* Let us hope you went not only where sweet rest was found, but where gladness warmed your heart, pure thoughts clothed your soul and beautifu]l memories Wwere gleaned to check doubt whenever he assails your mind No person in this world can help another unless the other person de- sires to be helped. The law of co- operation is founded upon mutual de- sire, a condition of harmony necessary for the uplift and progress of all. There would be a great deal more good done in the world if a kindly interest was not so often met with suspicion, or checked by a false idea of personai independence. Half the world is a slave to prejudice, and the other half through the overcoming of selfishne: has not attained in righteousness the fullest freedom which can be known to man. The oppressed and their op- pressors are slaves of ignorance, and cooperating in darkness injure one another. Whatever the relations of man they have to cooperate. There is no independence such as the heart of man dreams of. If they will not co- operate in the light of righteousness they must in the darkness and bit- terness of ignorance. He who puts selfishness under foot and neither op- presses nor is oppressed, free. The consciences of too many men are like cold molasses, slow to action —in fact, they operate so slowly that they give them little trouble. Per- haps you may have noticed that all consciences do not seem to have been designed after the same pattern; and it is more than propable that there may be a great variety of them. Madam de Stael'y conscience had a voice; and Napoldon found that no class of men were so difficult to man- age as those with bewitched con- sciences. Someone has been careful !tn say: “A disciplined conscience is man’s, best friend”; and perhaps an undisciplined conscience is man's most constant peril. If the foundations of true joy are laid in the conscience, none of us can doubt that conscience can also be the source of true mis- ery. Bovee tells us, “What we call conscience is in many instances only a wholesome fear of the constable.” Look out for your Il-am-ness, for the taller it gets the greater your peril. Our regard for ourselves should always be kept so we can look down upon it, instead of up to it. If we make our love of praise manifest there will be-plenty of people willing to contribute to our weakness. It doesn’t pay to recognize our own gen- ius, and then to fall in love with it. It is better to let others discover our praiseworthy qualities than to dis- cover them ourselves. Those who lend their ears to praise soon become fond of flattery although they know it is untrue. It is a sign of strength to be able to discover quality in others while we remain apparently blind to quality in ourselves. None of us can be wholly unconscious of our own merits, but it is better for all that we the merits of others in pref- erence our own. No one can fool us as we can fool ourselves—no one can make us such easy victims as we can make ourselves. How liks men clocks be: most of them are elther too fast or two slow; and most of them have to be wound up before yau can get anything out of them that is satisfactory. They do not mind h:fln{-thna of their hands, and it doesn't disturd them if they do not tell the exact truth. When a clock it doesn’t min glves no sign of ighty matt — ‘wel er Up in the hill towns, or along the shore, countless landlords await the coming of these unknown city folk, destined to be members of their house- holds for bt:vo weeks or more, as the case may be. Each needs the other. Together they stand for a condition of supply and demand. For that reason, the comfort of both depends on the behavior of each tow- ard the other. ——— 'l’hnugbiut a hard and busy year, perhaps, the members of the incoming tide have waited and planned and hoped and economized, with these two weeks of freedom in view. During dis- couragements, hard work, city heat and the discomforts of cramped quar- ters in some hall bedroom, or dingy flat, or fourth rate hotel, each has been buoyed up by thoughts of the green hills far awax; of fields where sleek cattle roam; of charming vistas of river and marsh and distant village; perchance of the majesty of the sea, the inviting whiteness of the sand, boldly contoured boulders, seaweed floating in on the crest of the blue waves. On the other hand, the prospective landlords have had dreams of profitable weeks during sultry July and August, when criep city banknotes are to be exchanged for the yield of the garden or berry patch or orchard, for the cool haven of the freshly done rooms shaded by the ancient elms, the freedom of the wide piazza, the mild diversion of the croguet ground: blissful, restful hours in the dory, fishing or drifting; snoozes in the hammock swung there between the big cherry trees, maybe the fun of a day in the hayfleld, of a picnic to the ‘woods or the hills or the strand. Each needs the other. And the com- forts to be exchanged are simple enough, if only each go about the sum. mer’s business in the proper spirit. Perhaps the greatest and first de- sideratum with clty people coming to the country is freedom. This does not mean license to tres- pass and destroy and be a nuleanc but that sense of liberty to go and run. There is an old saying that “the watched clock moves slow! but there is no evidence in the world that it goes slow because it is being looked at. The watched clock never flushes, it 1s the watched workman who does that. It is not the clock which puts off until tomorrow that which can be done today. It took man to creas® to- morrow, “a period not to be found in the hoary register of tim Tomorrow is the day when idleness works, and fools reform and mortal men lay hold on heaven.’ Sunday Morning Talk THE GREAT JAM QUESTION. Knowing my neighbor Blank to be a hard and steady worker, wearing a path each morning to the 7.15 train, I ventured one day to express the hope that his business prospered and yielded fair returns for his labor. “Bread, and a little butter—but no jam!” was the reply. What Blank meant to indicate was that he earned the necessarics but none of the luxuries of life. His family had three meals a day, and a roof over their heads. His wife and children were decently clothed, He probably put a few dollars each month into the bank, But beyond that nothing. A trace of bitterness was to be ob- served in Blank's tone, an intimation that the world was not playing just fair with him. One could see that he was in revolt ot spending all his days in grubbing out a bare living. It is no fun to be always about six paces ahead of the wolf. It becomes doubl tiresome to walk when you every third man of your acquaintasice buying a Ford. It is lack of the luxuries rather than the necessitles that causes most of us to worry. That which drives men to toll is to provide more than a mere living. We could get on nieely on leés than we strive for, if weonly thought 50. One half the daily struggle might be given over at once i we could be content to live as our grandfathers lived. Bread and butter is a compara- tively simple propositon; but when I feel I must cover the slice with jam the problem takes on a new aspect. How much jam, after all, does one require? How much must I add to the great fundamentals of life in order to be happy? Assuredly not so much as half the world thinks. If one could be content in satisfying his real neces- sitles what needless wear and tear he could forego, what needless worry' The wisest teacher our world has known sal “A man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things he possesseth.” How slow men have been to learn that lesson! How we have used up time and burned energy_in eager pursuit of many things, under the {llusion that, finding them, we should be happy. _Civilization has forced one luxury after another on us till we imagine that living is a far more complex business than it really is. Life's elemental necessities are with- in reach of practically everyone. Air, sunshine, bread, water, shelter, such gifts as these are possible for us all The long list of desires that modern ingenuity has added are, generally speaking, no part of our human need. ‘Even though few of us admit it, there is truth in the old line: Man wants but little here below Nor wants that little long. At least, he needs little, whether he wants it or not. There was a poor man in ancient Greece who live in a tub, ate black bread, and drank water. When Alex- lnd.rmm-lor of the known world, vis- for Diogenes?” to one side, please, so as mot to keep the sunshine from me,” was the reply. The rich man simply had nothing the poor man wanted. ‘The Alexanders have more of the jam of life than the rest of us; but have they any more of the really big and essential things? After all men cannot live on jam. They live on 'God's common gifts thal t are where prince or peasant, or mil- lionaire can get them. It is time for Blank to quit growling m count up ons. The privilege of stepping direct from the doorway mmmmmd being freed froga the incubus of I ing and barricading and watching and warding one’s few preclous possessions is a big factor in the delight of getting into the country. .

It is taken for granted that the own- erc of the farm or the shore hotel have long since renovated each room, slicked up each with fresh paint, daintily laun- dereq draperies at the windows, com- fortably cushioned chairs, neat rugs, and banished from the walls all but a few good pictures.

City folk do not care for tinned meats, canned fruit and vegetables, bakers’ food, condensed milk and the like—they have too much of these during every winter. What they do like is a substantial, flling meal of simple meat, fowl or fish, with vegetables right from the garden; fresh fruit and berries, home-mad bread, rolls, cornbread, pancakes, sim- ple cake or gingerbread, plenty or good milk, first quality tea, coffee and cocoa when these are used, sweet butter, The tables must be daintily laid, the ser- vice prompt, the china and glass and nappery irreproachable, no matter how plain and simple. Theve should be the adornment of fresh field or garden flowers, preferably of one sort, and ar- ranged with taste and care. On his part, the boarder’s obligation is to be prompt at meals, affable, will- ing to enter into any plan for the gen- eral entertainment, modest about ad- vancing his opinions, judiciously re- fraining from being what is called “too smart,” from describing better accom- modations, etc, which “we have at home” There should be no delay in paying board, no complaints with ser- vice ard no stinginess in expressing HERE’S NEW VIGOR FOR OVERWORKED STOMACHS Lee & Osgood, the popular druggists, have been in the drug business long enough to have their own opinion of the best way of selling medicines. They say the plan adopted by Mi-o- na, the great dyspepsia remedy, is the fairest they have ever heard of. They don't believe that a medicine ought to be paid for unless it does the -user some good. And Mi-o-na is sold un- der a positive guarantee to relieve dyspepsia_or to refund the money. You simply leave 50 cents on deposit with Lee & Osgood and if, after you have used the box of Mi-o-na you de- cide that it has done you no good, all you have to do is to tell them so and they will return your money. Hundreds of people have beer re- lieved of stomach agonies by using this remarkable remedy. It is not simply a food digester; it is a medi- cine that puts all of the digestive or- gans into normal condition and gives ruddy, glowing, vigorous health. A change for the better will be seen after the first few doses of Mi-o-ra, and its continued use will soon give the power to eat anything at any time and not suffer distress afterward. Mi-o-na is sold under a positive guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure. This is the strongest proof that can be offered as to the merit of the medicine. Nothing lessens a man’s success in his work or a woman's fascinating personality more than a weak stom- ach, with its attending evils. Use Mi-o-na and see how much more there is in life.
