T are matters which call for the action of the citizens and such being the case they call for carefu. consideration by those who are particolarly interested. There should be no disposition tg re- §a7d the meeting 2s of smali import- amce, one at which the business can be &cme by a bandfnl just as well as by a| ative gathering of the citizens, s grossly unjusti- a large participa- Norwi me 1 upon mat- | attitude Quid be ascertain the facts and to act in accord there- | Ope importamt part of the Dbusiness wili have to do with our fire depart- meni.

Neither shouid they get disinterested considera- tion by a few. It js the good of the entire municipallty that should be con- siderod and for that reason it is the duty of all who can get theré to be at the meeting NORTH DAKOTA'S RECALL, More than tie eyes of the people of North Dadgta will be directed toward the outcon s of the contest waged in that state today to determine what shall league be the future of the non-partisan in that commonwealth, That isn’t the ==% state where the league has got- ten 2 hold but it is one where there has becn made such revelations regarding the manner in which it does business at it will be surprising indeed if thel voters of that state do not cemand thej throwing out of such government and getting state affalrs back upon a 'safe and sane basls The non-partisan lesgue was lapded for its wonderful benefits and gamed a stronghold in North Dakota ard states in that vielnity, and’ league candidates were c'ected and _vput into effect the pol- icles of the organization ‘to the great of a large number of the peopls has turned out. head of the movement was A, C. Townley, Who was charged with and encourags. to during the war the courts of Minne- | two years ago Though n sota custained in the supreme court of the state an anpeal from the conviction was carried to the United S supreme court with the result mt that court has only recently re- fused to review the case. That ‘means| that the convietion stands and that Townley must serve h sentence. Just what effect this may have upen the cloetion today, which is cafled for the purpese of recalling the leaguers in office is problematical. It doesm’t appear the railzoad employes, but with an eye | the strike takes place thers can be little interest many parts of the state but for those who are living in that vicinity and ‘who need free fire Wood, or Who are out of employment and can put their time to good use by gathering in some of this woed, the opportunity is a golden ons. . Great is the waste that goes on each year in the wood lands of the stalp be- cause of the failure to work ump many of the weed trees into fuel woed, or to make use of the trees Which have been killed by fire but left standing. They stand as ghosts'of former well wooded traots and it would be of benefit to the land as well-as to those Who might em- ploy thelr time working it up if euch might be offered to the needy as that in the Natchaug tract has been, The offer by the forestry department is one that ought to ba taken advantage of. It comes at an excellent time to make an appeal and win appreelation, and the eseellence of the idea ought to malkee ' fta impression’ upen any ethers who have tuel weod going to waste by encouraging them to offer it to these who are willing to follow instructions and take it away, TRUCK POSSIBILITIES. Without any question those who are interested in motor trucks, whether as manufacturers, awners or operators, are giving special attention to the possibil- ities of the threatened raflroad strike, not pniy With a view to meeting and overcoming such conditions as may de- velop by the walking out of a part of to the future and the greater possibill- ties of motor transportation. It is already realized that the motor truck has been the means of taking away a large amount of busifiess that was formerly handled by the rallroads. The highways today are filled with hig motor trucks on both short and long hauls, and highway demands are being made with a view to accommodating those big trucks with their heavy loads to sucn restrictions as are placed thereon. The "trucks have done to the railroads in a degtee just what the jit- neys were doing to the trolley lines, and if railroad transportation is going to be curtailed and interrupted the move- ment of goods by auto truck is bound to be substituted just as long as the roads are provided for them. Business of such a character would to a large extent be only temporary unti] the emergency was over but there is always that percentage wHich is not IMkely to return for ome reason or another. If up douht of the extensive sort that will be made to trucks where raflroad operation interrupted. LACEED SCOUT TRAINING. In this day “and generation when mueh emphasis is being placed upon the value the Boy Scout organization there is oceasionally an jmstance where the lack of just such training as is afforded by cout training is brought impressively to light, Such must have been/ realized by the physician who went on a hunting trp into Maine only to become separated from his narty and lost in the demse He was eearched for by his friends and all”methods used to locate him, including fying machines. He was! finally located by some Indians after an | 2 of ten days and as he referred to his experiences he declared that he was nearly starved to death for lack of a mateh. He had his gun and there was plenty of game, but he had nothing to cook it with. Whether he tried to set| leaves amd twigs afire by the use of his gun is pot recorded but it is empha- sized that inasmuch as he had come to be dependent upon a match for starting a fire he knew no substitute. “His predi- cament was probably no different than a ‘ot of others, but it must make the Boy Scouts smile a bit to think how easily he might have obtained ‘the much de- sired fire by their well known method of rubbing two dry sticks together, one of the things required of them in qual- itying as a Scout. 3 It is safe to say amnog s large num- ber of the boys of today Who become physleians thes should they get lost in a dense forest for ten ' days-“some day in‘the future they will not be bothered by the lack of a match.

W. I M. Norwich, Oct. 26, 1921. T A ST ODD INCIBENTS 1IN AMERICAY HISTORY OUR TWO BLACK FRIDAYS. ‘Black Friday” is the pame applied to two disastrous da n the financial his- tory of the Unitcd “*ates. The mog im- portant of these e panic caused on ‘Wall street, New by the efforts of Fisk and Gould to corner the gold mar- ket gold rising to 163 1-3 on Sept. 24, 1869. The other Blagk Friday occurred on Sept, 19, 1873, in the New York stock gxchange, which was fcllowed by the Wwidespread panic of 1873. . A leading newspvaper of the country, on the day following the Bisck Friday of ‘Wall street, sald: “Not even in the wild- est days of the war excitement aid gold, the bharometer of the market, rise and plunge and fall' as yesterday. The full list of the dead and wounded, the broken and the lamed we sha® probably not have completed until this evening. Mean- while the forbearance on the part of creditors-is not only charity but a duty.” The panjc of gold had been coming on for several days, but no one had antiei- pated such & condition as actually befell the market on that eventful Friday. Gold had been gradually pushed up, and every~ one was wondering” what would be the outcome of the day. At 9 a m. the bid- ding began. On the street gold was of- fored at 146 and was instantly ‘snapped up. An excited condition was at once in evidence,’ and men grew wnervous. Up- ward jt began soaring. It remained standing at 150 for m considerable time. It was nct-until 11 o'clock that the monotony' was' broken—150 1-2 was big. A hundred fists were shaken at each other over-the little fountzin and an in- fornal series of yells filled the room. To an outs..er-it was impossible to dis- tinguish @ bid or an offer. The “bulls” had now ‘begun their grand charge. Mhey swept the bears before them like chaft, From 150 3-8 the metal suddenly jumped to 155 1-4, and this was unprecedented. Men began to rave and shriek like mad dogs. - They Tushed about the little foun- taln- in- paroxysms of fury. Within 15 minutes the premium was forced up to 162 1-2, and still going higher. Event- wally selling began-and the crash came. Then- the rzmor reached the street that President Grant had ordered Boutwell, the seeretary: of the-treasury, to sell the gold—fifty milfons—if necessary. Away went the-market in another grand crash, and ‘never ‘revovered pntil it touched 133, The buls - were ruf men’ and wete maddened.

READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips, Capyrighted 1921 l — The Pot-Hooked “B” It's the “pot-hook” that counts, whether it occurrs on the “b” or the “t" or any other letter. The “b” is selected merely beeause the writer is most likely to put the “pot-hook” on it. By the "pot-heek” yeu mean that in making the first upward stroke of the “p” the writer does not make a loop, on it. Such persons, whether they are men or women, are always inclined to be talkative. It is whispered that talkativeness is IN THE DAY’S NEWS Japen’s Place in the Pucific. “Japan, which from a position of iso- lation in the Asian seas, has emerged to become one of the dominant factors in the Pacific, might be termed the nar- rower and less compact Britain of the Far East,” says a bulletin from the ‘Washington, D. C., headquarters of the a feminine rather than a masculine trait. Be that as it may. But with- out any desire to stir up a controversy on the subject, graphologists in the ex- amination of hundreds of thousands ef specimens of handwriting do find that the “pot-hook” occurrs much more fre- quently among specimeils of feminine than masculine wriling. The “pot-hooked” ones not enly talk 2 lot; they are nearly always rapid and animated talkers. In some other over-balancing character indication in them, they are always ready with their opinions, their advice #nd their experiences. They're very poor keepers of secrets, and you'll do well to be cautious in entrusting se- crets to them, unless of course, your real intention is to spread the news.

Japan, on the other hand, has acquired large blocks of the neighboring continent, but has expanded somewhat in other directions alse. Great Britain has become the headquarters of a scattered, distant em- pire. Japan has remained so far the center of her empire with her posses- sions drawn relatively closely about her. “Though Japan had imperial ambi- tions even in the early centuries, as in- dicated by tWe fact that she onece con- quered Korea, and laid claim in the six- teenth century to Formosa and even the Philippines the national life, when Commodore Perry opened communica- tions with the west in 1854, was con- fined to the three main seuthern islands of Japan proper and the small islets {near their shores. Not until the sev- lentles did the goyernment begin devel- opment of Yezo, the big island to the north—the Japanese Scotland. Both Russia and Japan claimed Sakhalin, the fifth and northérnmost of the large isl- ands of the Javanese group, and there were similar double claims to- the Ku- irila group, a chain of small volcanic is- lands, comparable to the Aleutians, which streteh from Yezo northeastward to the tip of Kamchatka. In 1875 Rus- sla induced Japan to take the Kuriles and relinquish all claims to Sakhalin. “These exnansions to tho north were of little value, for the cold, break north- ern lands have never appealed to Jap- anese colonists, Yezo is sparsely set- tled, and the Kuriles have only a hand- ful of inhabitants, Japan's next step was to the gouth. In 1879 she annexed the Lu-Chu archipelago, extemding from the southernmost of the large Japanese Islands southwestward for 700 miles to Formesa.

China ceded the island 8¢ For- mosa (now officially krown as Taiwan) With jts 13,000 square miles of territory and its 3,500,000 inhabitants; and the Chinese peninsulagof Liaotung on which battle-scarred Port Arthur is now sit- uated; and acknowledged the independ- ence of Korea. Russia, France and Ger- many forced . Japan to relinquish the Lipotung peninsula, and Russia later leased it from China; but the Russo- Japanese war vlaced it again in Japan- ese possession, and the isiand empire now holds it under a 99-year lease. By defeating Russia, Japan further extend- ed her influence both on the mainland of Asia and among the.islands. She {obtained a protectorate over Korea, a ‘sphere of influence’ in Manchuria, and the cession of the southern half of the Island of Sakhalin. “As a result of the world war, Japan has made further territorial advances north, south, east and west. Her sphere of influence has included eastern Siberia, she has taken over the German lease on Kiaochow in China, and by receiving a mandate for the three archipelagoes of former German islands ‘in the Pacifie north of the equator, she has fared thou- sands of miles eastward into the Pacific. “The magnitude of Japan's present in- terests in the Pacific can better be under- stood, perhaps, by imagining her island territories transferred to the more fa- miliar Atlantic and the directions re- versed. The various groups of Japanese islands would then extend from the Shetlahd islands southward along the coasts of Europe and Africa for 32,700 miles. Formosa would be situated just north of the Cape Verde Islands. “The Marianne or Ladrone Islands of the man- date would occupy a position near the Azores, and the hundreds of islands of the Caroline and Marshall groups (the remaining mandate islands) would string out across .the Atlantic from near the Cape Verdes almost to Cuba. Honolulu, THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND - TELEPHONE COMPANY Gnder this ,transposed geography, would occupy about the pesition of Santa Fe, New Mexico. “'As direct outlets for emigration, Japan's mandate islands, because of their restricted area, are of little impertance. But as bases to facilitate naval opera< tions and trading activities*to the south and east they are comparbale in impor- tance to Hawali as bases for the west- ward activities of the United States. And Japan means to make the islands ‘pay for their keep.' She is stimulating the systematic planting of ecocoanut groves, and her traders are fast replacing foreign goods in the islands with those of Japan. The islands add only a few thousand miles of territory and some 50,000 people to the Japanese empire. But the scat- tered points of land ‘fence in' approxi- mately one million square miles of tha Pacific.” “You Can Do No Better Than: Buy Our Wurst.” IS Coats, Suits and Blouses OUR LONG ESTABLISHED - * REPUTATION IN TAILO GUARANTEE WE CAN SATISFY YOUR - READY TO WEAR NEEDS HAGBERG A N | ——— —
