Ge am, father of Herbert, and George Keith, a neighbor, found upon go- ing to the. Upham home (hat Herbert ~Upham had taken his lite by tying a piece of cord around a post of is bed and fixing a noose abohit his neck with the other end and, apparent- ly, as he strangled had rolied off the bed " | so that his eyes, staring in death, looked out unseeing through an unshaded win- dow. In another room in the home Jesse Sum- | ner, 87, father of Irving and an almost helpless invalld, ley in bed powerless to get out and summon help, though his eon had been dead in another room for three days The Ubhams haive regularly had the vounger Sumner as a customer for milk, but since Wednesday of last week he had not been to their place for his accustomed daily allotment. Knowing something of the Summer family cfrcumstances this aused some comment and Sunday morn- g, it hz\'ins; agreed that semething was wrong at the Siamner place, Herbert Up- ham was despatched there with a quart of milk. What the boy found startled the community as well as himself. No note was found to explain what in- jduced the Sumner suicide to take his life. | He had been regarded as mentally un- 4balanced for a long time, but the thought | seems not to have entered into the mind of {anyone in the communtiy that he might | end nis life. | There has been some dissatistaction ex- pressed at having a whistle blow and no session of school held when the weather is sto While it may be true that {many of the smaller children are better ikept at home when there is a storm, es- y ¢ storm, those who watch ing of school on stormy | | days must believe their cves and this tells Ithem hat many children “kept at home' | because there is no echool on accoun t of | weather conditions are about the streets at | play. This leads to the conolusion that no school does not keep a majority of childgen within doors kst merely gives a holiday. 1In a recent discussion of the matter it was suggested by one [prominent citizen that on stormy days the smaller children might be kept at home and, by bringing a note from that parents that they were so kept, might be excused and mot be officially marked absent. Many children ‘take pride to be able at the end of the year to say that they have not been marked absent or tardy it would not be quite fair to them to ark them if a plan such as sugsested bove could be effectively worked out. Otherwise parents would haive a difficult and disagreeable time of it keeping some of the youngsters away from school if school was in session, regardless of ths weather. Conrad LaPalme, 21, son of Mrs. Jo- seph LaPalme, of Church streer, died Friday night at the Day Kimball hospital wliere he was taken Wednesday, suffering from aps cTtis. and where an ceration He developed pncumonia caused .

Taxpayers in the {fown of Woodstock are not taking kindly to the tax rate of 27 mills as voted at tie adjourned town meeting last Monday. The fact that the officers of the town now come forward with a state- ment that the 27 mills will not meet the expenditures and declares 'a tax of 30 mil necessary has engendered a feel- ing of discontent. The feelings of thos: who look upon the exienditures as unwar- ranted and unnecessary will be given vent at a special meeting of voters and taxpay- ers to be held in Society hall, North Wood- stock, Thursday afternoon, bids fair to be a lively session. While too late to be ef- fective this year, it is intended to talk over the situation and to formulate plans to reduce the town expenses in the future. Many taxpayers are demanding that the city be equipped with a motor-dri and ladder fire truck. Taxpa north end of the city have petitioned the common council to buy a vacant lot at the corner of Proyvidence and Mill streets on which to erect'a fire house for No. 2 company, If either ‘of these demands is to be complied with, it will have to be voted upon the citizens, as the common council has no power to authcrize the ex- rditure of an amount exceding a tfou- sand dollars witRout first subenitting the proposition to the voters at a regular or a special city meeting. While the pur- chase of a fire truck has twice been sub- mitted and twice voted down, conditions have changed and it is belidved that much of the former opposition would not agaln appear if the matter of an appropriation were put to a vote. It is apparent that withdut ladders at a fire a dangerous sit- unation exists. Opposition from motives that have existed in the past will not have to be met again as the reason for that ap- position 1s no longer existant. As for the pufchasing of land and the erection of & ‘building for Combany No. 2, this is an en- tirely new matter and will have to be con- sidered. While the proposed new location would be much better than the present location on Smith street the needs of the change and the benefits to be derived therefrom is a question open to discussion.
