Of the 60 who were thus rounded up, about 40 appeared at the schoolhouse on Saturday afternoon, where they B| were duly measured and weighed and pronounced a fine lot of children. Some were a little frightened at the mysterious ordeal of being unshod and being stood up against the wall while a ‘flat bit of metal descended gently on their heads to mark their height, ‘All who were big enough to stand were intensely interested in the work- ings of the scales on which they were stood. The babies under 3 year old were wrapped in a little blanket and laid-in a padded basket to be weigh- ed; but the hardest task of all was to get the kinks out of the fat little legs long enough to straighten them out on a tape measure to get their length. One chubby little chap of nine months ‘had his head up in the air to see what was going on hefore his toes were fairly flattened down to the table. On the whole they were as clean, healthy and promsising a lot of youngsters as TUncle Sam could ask to start in for the making of his “huskies” a few years later on. - The examinations were in charge of Mrs. J.

A hymn by the class was followed by vespers which were celebrated by Rey. P. J. Cuny, assistant pastor, and, a brief talk to the class by Rev. J. H. Broderick, the pastor, in which he im- pressed upon the graduates the duty and value of remembering and apply- ing the instruction which they had re- ceived in their years at school.

A child is born to us; a son is given us; empire is upon his should- ers and his name is wonderful. Speaking impressively of the respon- sibility of parents toward their children to see that they were educated hot only along material lines but as well along religious lines that their spirit- ual walfare might be assured, the preacher reminded the graduates that they had only just commenced to learn and thal the future lay with each one individually, so that if any- thing but success were recorded the fault would be with the individual and not with his parents. As his final word of advice, he urged them_to be stibng sons and daughters of God, true to the principals which they had learn- ed honoring, loving and knowing God with the assurance that so living they would receive joy eternal in the life to come. After benediction which was cele- brated by Father Cuny, the exercises Spangled Banner by the class.

Colchester, Teldman proved membership in the partnership of Feldman Brothers, olesalers, at No, 32 Lenox avenue New York city. No evidence was brought out that the two witnesses were unduly hoarding sugar.

There was uncovered, however. a larze movement of sugar {n Col- chester during the last six weeks. Feldman’s customers appearing to be well supplied. In two cases action may be taken on charges of hoarding. Feldman admitted he- had violated one of the food administration's reg- ulations relating to wholesalers. in that he supplied Gellert and several other retailers in Colchester with more than 1,000 pounds of sugar at a time, doing this without the con- sent of the food administration. Gellert admitted violation of | the regulations concerning selling sugar in excessive quantities and of selling graham flour without the required three-fifths of substitutes to the pound. Feldman, Gellert and the two wit- nesses all appeared to be ignorant of the regulations. They were told that the burden of knowledge there- of was on them, and Feldman and Gellert were warned they awvere jeop- ardizing their licenses. They were supplied with the lates rules and reg- ulations and told to observe them. Patriotic Baker Helps Soldiers. Matthew F. Sullivan of a Greeneville bakery firm was 2 popular man with the soldiers aboard a troop train that passed through here for Camp Devens late on Saturday afternoon. , He emp- tieq out the contents of his barkery cart for the benefit of . the soldier boys patriotically giving them all he had when he learned that they were hun- gry after their trip from Camp Upton, with prospects for supper still a long way ahead of them. Increases 'Capital Stock. The Colchester Farm Produce com- pany has increased its capital stack from §7,500 to $15,000. % Scotland - has produced a record number of spring lambs in good con- dition, ’ many had colds. I might cite one occasion in which we were caught at work in a cold rain for about five hours with only our hats as an umbrella. Naturally we were drenched to the. bones. Having to stand for about an hour after work, many like I were shivering. After reaching our barracks I immediptely changed my uniform and wore my sweater for the rest of the day, which I claim was the only cause of saving me from being like most of the boys were, that is, with a bad cold. 1 believe if most of our sisters knew the amount of good the Red Cross do they would sacrifice a little of their spare time to such a noble cause (that is, the ones who do not stop to con- sider what the work is). To all other dear workers of your noble chapter I wish to extend my sincerely, heartfelt thanks and beg to remain in the future Uncle Sam’s and yours for victory. PRIVATE ODTLLA N. ARPIN.
