The indeperfdent party of Killingly wish to explain to the voters of the town the reason for its existence. It was simply and solely formed to pro- mote the clection of Miss Emma Pill- i s o member of the school board. not a political movement, for it is not opposed to any candidate nom- inated by the republican or democratic party. It 5 not a suffrage movement, for neither Miss Pilling nor many members of the party are suffragists. It is a movement to establish upon our school board an expert on school matters. Miss Emma Pilling, student at Wel- lesley college, has taught in our grade schools, in Norwich, in Springfield and in a Hartford School district, noted for high standard, and is at present chairman of the educational commit- tee of the federated woman's clubs of Connecticut. There are fow of us, in looking over the text books of today, who do not realize tue changes since we went to school and that it would take much time and study to be a competent judge of them. ; D¢t if the question comes up of or- dering new school books, Miss Piliing has used and tested many different ones. SHE KNOWS. It the question of ventilation arises, she has sat In a school room for hours, In all weathers, SHE KNOWS. If the question is one of fundamen- tals versus frills in the grade schools, she has taught in both city and country schools and has seen things tried out, SHE KNOWS. Miss Pilling now has the leisure, health ang willingness to fill this po- sition and benefit not only the borough of Danielson, but the entire town. We do not know what will be the conditions a year hence. Do we, as lovers of our town, proud of maintaining the high standards of its schools, grateful to the men who have_ faithfully served on our school board and given their time, Interest and businéss capacity to the best of their ability—do we dare wait another year to secure this expert assist- ance? Fathers and mothers, whose chil- aren will another year be members of the High School, can you afford to lose the inspiration and expert aid that Miss Pilling, as a former teach- er of the eighth and ninth grades of West Middle School in Hartford, will be able to give to the teachers of your children?

Within a few \minutes after the balloon had been sighted residents in all parts of Putnam were" flocking to the streets to get a look at the strange craft. Everybody was gazing upward. The balloon passed over the city at the time the pupils of the Israel Putnam school were having the morning re- cess and the youngsters ran to points of vantage on the hills about_the school to look at the big bag. Pas- sengers in trains waiting at the rail- road station lined up on the station platform to get a look. Where the balloon came from and where it land- ed are not known. It was sailing high and at a good rate of speed. When first sighted it was coming over the hill to the northwest and continued southeast for considerable time. When leaving sight the balloon was headed tgward Providence. Bus- iness men who had fieid glasses in their stores or offices brought them forth to get a better look and to fol- low the course of the balloon and the glasses were passed around to by standers. Through the glasses the balloon could be quite clearly seen. From it hung a basket and in this was what was supposed to be a pas- senger, clthough this wos not abs lutely certain. Trailing from the bax ket was a rope about 100 feet long. One Putnam business man who has relatives in Thompson telephoned to them to see if the balloon was visi- ble in that town. It was said that on the balloon was seen to ctly overhead and was head- (z ea east. WILL BE ARCHDEACON Rev. Philip S. Irwin Leaving Pom- fret to Go to Florida. Rev.

No More Back-Breaking Scuttles To Be Carried Up Those Cellar Stairs If you buy coal in large quantities you must have room to store it; if in small quantities, it is expensive. When you want to use it you must carry it from its storage place to your range, and of all tasks that is one of the most weary. When you burn wood or cozal you have the heat, dirt, and the trouble of attending to the fire. If you use gas you require no room for storage; no back-breaking scut- tles to be carried from the cellar to the kitchen. The fire in the gas range burns steadily and without atten- tion; it is always ready, without dirt or trouble, in large or small quantities.
