A. shop meeting conducted at the Crescent Arms com- pany Friday noon Rev. George H. Btrouse of the First Baptist church was the speaker. Patriotism just now in our country lought to be at flood tide, said Rev. Mr. Strouse. We stand midway be- | tween the birthdays of Washington and iLincoln. These are the two shining stars in the firmament of our history. {If Washington gave us our favored {land, then it was Lincoln who pre- | servea it for us. A comparison of these {two men is hardly possible. Wash- ington refused a crown and Lincoln {made a cross and died on it. To the iGod who rules the nations we ascribe praise and thanks for Washington and ncoln. ‘The greatest asset to any nation is iher men. We have vast resources in ithe United States. We have gold, sil- | ver, ccpper and coal mines. ‘We have jlarge tracts of timber land and many {thousands of square miles of _the ! choicest agricuitural land, but nothing { contributes so largely to a nation's | wealth as the mem produced by the { mation. | Washington's and Lincoln’s fame is | world-wide. In the land of their birth we especially delight to do them hon- or. To trace God's hand in history is exceedingly interesting. And nowhere 4n all history is God's leadership more evident than in the lives of these two men. Strange as it may seem, these |two names are inseparably connected with war. Neither loved war, but surely came to the kingdom for such en hour as the times presented. The bigness of Washington can be best seen through the yeans of con- flict. Criticism was shot hard at him from various quarters. Relying upon God, he went on in the path of duty until at Yorktown it was all over. This was decisive. This war revolutionized Great Britain’s colonial policy and prepared the way for the new type of edministration which has given her a colonial empire. Men, I want you to see God's hand in American history. That war was not won simply through the military genius of Washington. The hour was ripe for a republic, and God so con- trolled events that our armies were crowned with success. That God want- ed this nation frece is all the more {apparent in the light of present day {bistory. Our republic is not a century 'and a half old, but is being courted by {all the nations. From the Orient to the Occident the nations are seeking our_help. ‘When God crowned Washington with victory, the Almighty had a big part in history for us to play. And ‘the end is not yet. In less than a century our nation = faced a bloody Civil war. With a great price we had obtained our freedom. Then the foe was on the outside. Now it is internal. With God’s hand so clearly evident in lour history, would he now permit our nation to be torn asunder? Down in a Kentucky log cabin’ God had been forzing a man for the crisis. Lincoln is the man. Livingstone is in Africa blazing a trail through the jungles that a Christian civilization might enter and shatter the hands of slavery. Lin- coln is at the heim in this country. We see a man's true worth in the hour of struggle. If ever a man made _good, that man was Lincoln. Scorn ard criticism were heaped upon him, but he knew this task. There was no ‘uncertainty about his mission. Lean- |ing hara upon God, he pushed forward iin the path of right. Again God gave | right the victory. God never gave a nation two greater men. They were great not only in ‘Ifl | i | hievements but in character. They The Coats are all from our regular stock. those who know the class of merchandise we carry.

The hearing before Judge Milton A. Shumway was on a motion for an or- der authorizing the receiver to sell certain assets of the bankrupt paper mills company. After Judge Shumway had approved the account of Receiver Albert S. Com- stock of Norwich from Nov. 18 to Feb. 1, Attorney Brown of Norwich stated to the court that there are it the mill certaln commodities which should be sold at once, Receiver Bell took the stand and stated to the court that among the as- sets of the mill there were included quantities of dye stuffs which ordinar. ily were worth about $1.25 a pound. He had received offers of as high as 313 a pound for some of the stuffs while others would not bring quite so much. There was in the mill dye stuffs val- ued under ordinary conditions at gbout $900 and he had received an offer of $6,000 for the entire lot. He thought that the stuff ought to b:‘ sold rlnd nl‘:ll;“"ha. accepted. The prices of dye ve gone Fincs the European war and. there 1 a scarcity of the commodity in this country which has occasioned an enor- mous advance In prices. It is possible that prices may go even higher but there was also the possibility that the war might end, which would cause a slump in prices.” He was of the opinion that it should be sold at once, and the court d an order allowing the eale of the dve stuffs among other as- sets. DR. USSHER HAS SPENT YEARS IN ARMENIA He Thoroughly Understands the Con- ditions There Concerning Which He Will Teil at Davis Theatre Sunday Evening. Dr. Clarence D. Ussher, who is to tell of the Armenian atrocities at a public meeting at Davis theatre Sun- day evening declares that conditions in that part of Turkey where he was DR. C. D. USSHER located were frightful. Not only are conditions there as to supplies differ- ent from what the Turkish reports represent but he has witnessed starva- tion on all sides and reports from the state that larsze to furnish bare s re neces: necessities to the Armenians to keep ry them alive during the winter. It is impossible to solve the problem of pur- chases. Dr. Ussher has been on the ground and knows whereof he speaks in rela- tion to the condition and needs of both the Arm thoroughly endorses the by Lord Bryce in the of lords following inv atrocitics and particularly where he says “There is no Moslem passion ainst the Armenian Christians. All s done by the will of the ment and@ done not from an; igious fanaticism, but simply because they wished, for reasons purely political, to get rid of a non-Moslem element which impaired the-homogeneity of the em- pire, and constituted an element that might not always submit to oppres- BEritish hous| ations of the sien. All that I have learned confirms what ha ready been said elsewhere, that there is no reason to believe that in this case Musulman fanaticism came into play at all.

H. Eldredge _- kish government.” | MANY VISITORS SEE SCHOLARS AT WORK. Domestio Science Demonstrations at Broadway School and Stereopticon Lecture at Mount Pleasant Street School. In spite of the extremely unpleasant weather Friday, a large number of the parents and friends of the local school children took advantage of the invi- tation of 'Supt. Edward J. Graham to visit the schools of the city in order to see just what kind of work is being carried on by the teachers and just what the children are learning. Ait Broadway school there were some 50 visitors during the day. In the do- mestic sclence department there was an exhibition of preserves and jams that the scholars put down last fall These were offered for sale and found a ready purchise. The proceeds from the sale are to be used for the pur- chase of silverware for the dining room. From 1.15 to 2.15 o'clock in the afternoon the A division, domestic sci- ence class, eighth grade, demonstrated the work that is carried on in that de- partment, and from 2.30 to 3.30 the C division of the eighth grade prepared lemon queens and chocolate macoroon queens. The visitors sampled the cook- ing, Misses Harriet Clarke and Evon Broadhurst assisting In the serving. The A division made chocolate creams. The cooking was carried out under the direction of Miss Grace E. Rogers, the supervisor. The visitors were well pleased with the appearance of the kitchen and equipment in the domestic science de- partment. There were many visitors at the Mount Pleasant street school during the day. A feature of the school prx gramme there was a stereopticon lec- ture on industrial geosraphy. At the Norwich Town school there were about 40 visitors and about the same number at the Falls school. The rumber of visitors at the other schools in the city was large. Improvement Society Held Food Sale. The Church Improvement soclety of the Second Congregational church held a food sale in the rooms over the Otis library Friday afternoon from 2 to 6 o'clock. The committee in charge comprised Mrs. R. A. DeProsse and Mrs. Jerome Conant. SERV.US MINCE MEAT Package condensed mince meat Is ade up today of the best quality of ed fruit and other items which can be found, ali of which are found in the United States with the exception of spices and currants. The study of packing ~ondersed mince meat has ex- tended over a period of 100 yvears and today is as near its perfection as we can possibly conceive. The sanitation m the factories in which it is packed is beyond reproach as the competition today in these lines necessitates the guarding of the most minute detail of the business. The apples used are of the best grade of New York State where in our opinion is grown the best flavored apple known. The raisins used are of the best quality seeded variety. No expense is con- sidered in procurring the very highest grade of spices, and sugar, as we all know, is always sugar, the different grades merely representing the differ- ent flavors or different granulation re- quired for different purposes. Every particle of fruit or any other article used In the manufacture of mince meat is thoroughly cleaned and hand-picked by people trained to know what should and should not be used and in this manner the article comes to the house- wife cleaner by far than she could possibly take the same articles in her own kitchen, regardless of how clean it may be, and make up the filler for her mince ple. The old idea of dirt being prevalent in quantity is today disputed by the greatest authorities on food products. The meat used in mince meat is of the choicest and to- day the same corn-beef which you and I would use on our table is what is being used in_Serv-us Mince Meat. There are very few ples made which can be used as handily by the house- wife as mince meat for all it requires is a little water and being heated for ten minutes and it is ready for the crust and then the table and she may without fear of loss carry three or four packages of mince meat in her pantry, having it ready at any time for the chance occurrence of unexpect.. ed compeny and it will be a good dessert free from dirt. It is our thorough belief that a mince meat pie made from condensed mince meat is about as cheap a dessert as can be prepared and yet as good. For many years minCe meat was consldered a winter dish. Each year for the last ten our factory has had to increase its capacity during the summer months until today it runs every day of the year with a regular force of helpers. “We ship goods to every part of the country the entire year. This of course means a great increase in the use of these goods over when mince meat was eaten only in the winter months which means an in- creased sale over the former winter consumption. THE L. A.
