I - Sblkr. Energy In Plant*. ' The estimate is made Uiat the amount of solar energy stored In p lants 'each year, la 2'i times the amo\int of energy rfTireseuted by the coal consumed in the sume period. Abogt'OTper (icnt ot this plant energy Is taken up , by the forests; 24 per cent by cultivated plants; 7 per cent by jjrass of the steppes and prairies, and 2 per cent by the plants of desert lands. The energy received by iorests alone Is 14 tliiics, the energy of the coal used. But unfortunately tl'o for­ests that receive this energy are main­ly In the tropics. In'temperate re--glons we are depleting the forests Just ns we a re , exhausting the coal, supply; further Justifying the proph­ecy thnt centers of manufacture, and therefore presjuftnbly of clvlli'/.atioii Itself, will ultimately shift back to­ward the etluator.—Dr. Henry Smitli M'illianis.

Work. It the busy rich iiieople watched and

rebuked the Idlo rich people, all would be right among them'; and If the busy pour people wntched and rebuked tlie Idle poor peopjc, all would be right among them. But each looks'for the ftiult of the other. -A hard working miui ot property Is particularly offend­ed by an Idle beggar; and nn orfler-ly htit poor Workman Is naturally in­tolerant of the licentious luxury ot the rich. And what is severe Judgment in the minds of the Just mon of efthor class becomes flerce enmity In the un­just—but among tho unjust only. Xone I)ut tho dissolute among the poor look" upon'thcTlch ns their natural enemies or desire to pillage their houses and divide their property. None but the dissolute among the rich speak in op­probrious terms of the vices and follies of the poor.—John Ruskln.

Stroll With Morgan^Gave Credit. An acquaintance once approached

the first J. P. Morgan and asked for a loan ot $10,000. Morgan knew the man was responsible, but for private rea­sons did not want to make -the loan himself. He did, however, say he would secure the money for him, re­lates Collier's. Putting on his h-at and coat, he asked the man to go with him. They started at Broad and Wall streets, walked through Wall to Broad­way, nnd back to Broad, Morgan did not stop aiii'where, nor ask anyone to lend his companion $10,000. At the door of lus ollice Jlorgan shook hands with the mail and hade him good day. "But." objected the applicant, "you didn't get me the 810,000." "Oh, yes, 1 did," said Morgan, "Anybody down tlii?re," waving toward Wnll street, "will let you have It now."

It Is Woman, Lovely Woman. One of the shocks-that come to men

when they are past twenty-one Is the realization that women's greatest in­terest is woman. No matter how white the spats nor how shiny the topper a. man may take to the races, do tliey attract the feminine eye? The answer Is In ,the negative. The fem­inine e.ve is searching for more impor­tant things. It Is noting frocks and tlic wearing thereof. If an enterpris­ing publislier sfartffd a men's maga­zine, would lie publish portraits of men? He might intersperse a few horses on his pages—but the remain­ing space would have to he given to women.

WESTFORD

Oentcr. Owing to the uncertainty as to Just

-when the electric lighta will bc re­stored there will be no services at the Unitarian churoh until Christmas Sunday, which comes on December 25. Mr. Crandall, who is absent on a southern preaching tour, is ex­pected to be back by that time.

Postmaster J". Herbert Fletcher has been an .unlortunate sufferer and un­der the care of a specialist for two weeks with an abscess on'orte eye.

Mrs. Thomas Symmes, on the Gran­itevllle road., is ill with keart disease.

Little 'Viola Day, who was reported so seriously HI last week with pneu­monia. Is m u c h better and galnlnB cach day.

Julian M.. Cameron has recently given the J. •¥". Fletcher library about twenty volumes of current- fiction An Interesting and practical bobk just added to the library Is "The modern motor truck," by "Victor Pa«e. It is well illustrated and one chapter Is devoted to truck and trail­er laws.

I n cornnion with most gatherings neighbors' night at "Westford Grange had to bo postponed on account of t h e ' storm. Nbw It is planned for December 15, when Ayer and Groton Granges are - t o bo entertained Those In chargo wish to remind West­ford members to respond as previous­ly solicited for the supper.

John H. Connell has gone south •with his son for the winter.

Mr.- and Mrs. 'Walter Fletcher, of the .'Westford depot neighborhood, are the happy parents' of twin boys, born Tuesday. Mother and sons are reported as doing ' nicely. We are

. told that the two young gentlemen will be named for their two grand­fathers, but not being able to verify this last fact In this time of disorder-

• ed telephones would not make the announceinent of their' names until later.

Mrs. William R. Carver and daugh ter Elizabeth have recently enjoyed

.. a week's trip to New York. • Miss Mary Morin arrived In Oak­land, Cal., last Saturday after a pleasant trip across country.

The new automobile number plates for 1922 are white with blue emboss­ed flgures and letters.

Akes and saws have necessarily been popular., tools the past week, and much hard work has been done getting broken' and fallen branches out and cleared up. It has added ap­preciably to many people's supply of firewood, but few would have chosen their, firewood from favorite shade and fruit trees.

It Is getting on now to nearly (wo weeks without electric lights, caus­ing much inconvenience all around.

- There seems to be some assurance that they may be restored from the flrst to the middle ot next week.

Lineman have worked long hours to restore the crippled telephones from the lce storm. The flrst of the week the trunk lines were put in order and the local lines are re­ceiving attention as fast as possible. One hundred and forty-five tele­phones in town were put out of com­mission.

The monthly meeting of Edward M. Abbot hose compa-ny took place on "Wednesday evening at the fire­house. A good baked-bean and cold meat supper was served, the hosts being Clarence Hildreth. Edwsird Clement and Will Millis. Just about the full membership and three guests wore present.

The Tadmuck club sale comes next Tuesdav afternoon in the Congrega­tional vestry. The usual good re­sponse is hopod for from the mem­bers and friends.

Both services were wel! sustained at the Congregational church on last Sunday. Fifteen, nine by letter, and flve, on confession of faith, have si,i;-nleflcd their intention of joining the church at the January communion.

E. J. Whitney -\vrites the Westford friends, from Kissimmee. Fla., whero he is spending the winter, of June­like Aveather, while -\ve have been in the grip of the most disastrous of ice storms. He recently attended a mam­moth b.arbecue where nearly .TOOO peo­ple -were in attend.-ince. Mr. "Whit­ney also writes of having a prosj.er-ous garden under v.-ay.

Obltnary. - Owing to del.ayed mails last week the following obituary did not reach the correspondent until too late for last, w-eek's Issue:

The recent death of Mrs. John 11. Connell came .as a great shock to her many friends. While she had been In poor health extending over a period of several years sho had been able to be up and about until about a weck before her death, Mrs. Con­nell had lived a long and useful life and was loved by all who knew her. She was ever kind and helpful and hcr memory will be cherished, espe­cially by the large family oircle. During the summer she h.ad spent much time at her son's and his f.am­ily on thc Nashoba farm and had re­cently come for the winter, having sold her farm on thc Bc.avor Brook road.

The deceased Is survived by her husband: seven sons, John, Charles. Daniel. Frank. Kdward. Joseph and Hnrold; three daughters, Mrs. Foley and Mrs. Brown, of Littleton, .'ind Miss Delia Connell. who teaches school In Tewksbury, and eighteen grandchildren.

The funoral services were largely attended and there were many Ijeau-llful floral tributes.

If Westford Grange has somo chimney heat and light, and tho sun, moon and stars overhead succeed In controlling the overllow of rain, hail antl snow on our heads, feet 'and chimney, wo will havo Groton tmd Ayer Granges nelglihors' night with Us hext week Thursday evening, It being a postponed neighbor on ac­count of last week being no chimney weok with us. If thincs and weath­er aiul chimney don't cume as plan­ned we don't know what v.e shall do.

The unnamed" road which wo re­ferred to lust week.Is one of the old­est roads in town, being the second road laid out by the town ot Chelms­ford before Westford was set off as a separate town, being built ubuut 16CG, and became the highway to t ait-m for all the towns to the west. This road was extensively - used until ubuut the beginning of the- civil -war. when a new road was built, starting at the Capt. Peletlah Fletcher place and thence on to Lowell. This old ruad, so close to the Stony Brook school, will be recalled by the few remain­ing scholars lit that time -as furnisli-ing one 'of tho longest and steepi-.- t coiistlng lines and right at the school-house door, and the wonderful won­der was, and Is, that with the length and steepness of the hlU there were no fatal or even serious acci­dents going with a velocity around the sharp curve over Tadmuck brook that ,sent the coasters up the hill to the Capt. Peletlah Fletcher place.

Mrs, Rhoda Penniman. of South Cholmsford. died at hor homo last week Friday, "aged ninety-eight years. She had been a resident of Chelms­ford for forty years.

About Town. Mr. and .Mrs. Walter Fletcher arc

receiving double congratui.ations on tho birth of twin boys on Tuesday. December 6, at their homc on Pl.aln road, near Westford station. Mrs. Fletcher was formerly MJss Evelyn Taylor, of Lowell.

Much Is said .and read about the -nncipplbyed and how to provido them with w-ork, Thcrc la an attempt to

- employ at thc Tobacco-Morning Glory farm, . Tho shingling ot the barn was let and sublet sovon times, and then the owner had to shingle It himself. What a rush and crowding there Is for work. Hadn't someone ought to apply thc emergency brakes 01) nccount of this rush crowd In the Intorost of "safety flrst?"

Daniel H. Sheehan, having harvest­ed all of his southern and western crops. Is spending his vacation In Sudbury and Incidentally looking after his ' portable saw mill that Is stored there from last year's sawing, and also flgurlng thc prospects for moro lumber lots In and about that zone from the equator

Mr. and Mrs. Seth'W. Bapnister, of Ayer, were recent visitors at tho hos­pitable open honso of tho Bannisters « n tho Lowell road.

Postponements. The postponements on account of

the sleet-rain-hail-snow storm begin to - con-ie in for audit for last -week's holdup. On Tuesday evening the sec­ond in the series of motion pictures In the Farm Bureau did not.appear because the electrical current that lights the hall got struck lifeless by the Btorm, On Wednesday afternoon missionaries of the Farm Bureau were to hold an open face-to-face conference with the farming commu­nity in regard to programs for future meetings most desirable for the lo­cality. . No one came -or went except the writer, and. he had the hall all to his lonesome, not another animal being present except a few flies that introduced themselves by lighting on him, but there -were no flies on him when he got home with wet feet and wiser wisdom. Thursday evening was to be neighbors' night at the Grange for Ayer and Groton Granges. Now add to no Hght. no chimney and no heat. A rain-hail-snow slide on the slated roof of the hall beheaded the chimney close to the roof as speedily, and smoothly as the French gtiillotine would behead.

What a Sarhson this storm proved to be that sent electricity down for the count In the dark. Besides all this there were several dances that could hot exhibit on a no-light-no-chimncy-no-heat basis and (hey re­tired, It being a very retiring week.

Cllpphiff. ~ In a recent number ot that admir­

able m.agazine, the Christian Register published by the Unitarians, is an article on the new church in Wash­ington. All Souls Church (Unitarian) In Washington celebrated its centen­ary on ArmlsUce day, for it was rounded on November 11, 1821. A new building is in the process of erec­tion, which is to be the supreme ex­pression in the national capitol-of the Unitarian faith. The original church •was built by the celebrated Charles Bulflr.ch, one ot the members and the architect of the national capitol, !• is Interesting to note that on this edi­fice was placed the first church bell in Washington, cast at the foundry of the famous Paul Revere and'now one of th,e precious possessions of ths church. The writer further .says In speaking of the hundred years full of .achievement. "Revered riames are these: Moses Young, the society's flrst president ; J u d s c o Ci-arfoh ana -Eliot. Noah _F'letcher: Eales and Seaton, the editors of the National Intelligencer; presidents, John Quincy Adanis and .Millard Fillmore; Chief, Jus t i c .Mar­shall; Justice .Story. Daniel Websler, John C. Calhoun, Charles Sum.iir ,-:r.d many more members or attend.ar.ts."

We were much interested in the name of Noah Fletcher. v,-hi( h ap­pears in this gaia.\y of celcbnt-ts for No.ih Fletcher was born in W.-.-;tford and belonged to that familv -A hich has always been ready to do J..-; full share of service to our count:-.. In the Westford history l.s a lonu'. lor.g list of the genealogy of the Fk-tcher family. We note there the following:

Seth, son of ('apt. Wiiiiam Fletcher married Joanna Fletcher. The H'llov.-inpr children %vrere l.orn to them: .- elh. 177.=;; Joel. 1777; Jf.;;nn,-i, 1779; ."ilJir.v] 17S1; Elirabeth. I7S4; .Noah, 17s'o. Two natr.es in this; li.- t are of speci.il interest to Wertft.r.l people. The Erst fon. i:eth. wa.« the f.ither of .Sherm.m Dewey Fleteher and so the grand-. father of our ..v.n .«h( rman Hevwood l•'letc^.,r and Miss !-:;:iily Fletcher. The i.is; ..on :r.'n;io:-.ed, Noah, is the sai-iie one mentioned :is one ot the first pillars of the r:i;trlri:in church :it Washlnston. H.-. was tl:e great i::u-le of .' her:i-ian and K:r.i!y !-"letcher.

_N"o.ih Fletcher v.as l.orn August 7. 17St;. in onr own tuwn. The records of Westford :icadfmy s:i-.- that he was a student here in ISOO. He became a clerk in the postoflice ;ind navy rte­partment at Washington. D. ('.. in ISOS. and in l.Sll was postmaster at .Vatchez, Miss. In IHI'?, he married Betsey, datighter of .'Jeth Tease of Sutlleld county, who %vas assistant postmaster general. For m.any years No.ah Fletcher w;is connected "with Ihe navy and olher d'-partments. He died .March 2,1. l,i.47, in tv.-i.shincton, where hc is buried. .Voah's hrother. Seth. w.'us the father of the late Sher­man D. Fletcher, so Noah was Sher­man D. Fletcher'.s uncle, and while .N'oah was In Wix-shington. the lato .Sherm.an O. was messenger for a time in the capitol. Thnt means that Sher­man D.

The regular ann-jai Chrlstm.aa seal sale has become un eatabUahed Ainer­lcan Institution. This little health seal has chlelly. llnanced tho •i'oluntary antl-tuberoulosls movement in Amer­ica. In Massachusetts alono there were 6.t36 Uvea saved last year over what would have been had the lilOO death rate remained stationary. ThLs means a Mas-sacliuaetts township saved annually. There wcre 1600 fewer doaths last year than there were two years before.

This health .-.eai is the "tlag ot hope" to tho million cases of tuberculosis In this land.

that in the case of Percy J. England vs. the Bobbins brothers and H. J'.. .Meredith on the charge ot as.sault und buttery, which was brought up before the Middlesex Superior Criminal court at East Cambridge on Mondav, the defendants were allowed to eiiter a plea of nolo and the case was placed on file, England, who was taken Into custody a few weeks ago bv federal oltleers on a grave charge,' was re­mitted to Cambridge jail on the non­payment ot required bail, and oh Mon­day did not appear in court. On the evidence secured, by the federal offi­cers, he may. be deported.

According to one of the Boston papers, reporting the case' ot .Mondav, it was stated .that "it was Intimated that a settlement was arrived at out­side ot the court." .^Iso, that "it was understood that England was to re­turn to his former homo In England,"

The following editorial sums up the matter rather neatly:

"It is the climax of a sensation which, at flrst, brought out svlnpathv lor the victim. It is needless to sa\". that after considering the character and type of the three young men ac-•cused, there waa r«auo» toi- ouoh &o. tlon. However, we must reprehend the trio tor having taken the law in their own hands, but it was after all legal procedure failed Iiefore anv ac­tion was taken against Ensland". It was due in a large degree tn the re­luctance of the local police, who had been approached several tinies cni-cerning England's past record wiiich IS now well-known. His desertion of his lawful wife and three snial! chil­dren in England, leaving them perri-lie.s,s. is significant of his character "

In the oflice ot the Bureau of Im­migration are his first naturalization papers, which he perjured, by swear­ing that the one, Bertha Boult, was hia legal wife. On a hotel register i". Wilton. X. H., dated June 2 1921 is the signature, -'].>. England and wife Boston."

His a.ssociation with the sister of Roger and Grover Robbins brought about the action ot i.ast summer. In which R. H. .Meredith cooperated, through symjiathy. The action of theso three young men stands for an iiieal that is the bulwark of onr so­ciety: und, as a member of the board of directors of the MacKecsport pub­lic schools .said, referring to Prof. Grover P.obbins. who had been one of tho instructors there, --He stands for clean, moral character, and we need more .such men .to teach our youth.

.\nclcnt Walnut Ti-oe Cut DoHii. There was considerable eonsterna-

tion lust week when it was unnounced that the oldest tree in this section, the black walnut on the grounds of what was formerly the Woods' place. Main street, must be cut down.

It had been examined .and con­demned as unsafe, being so near the street. However, during the Ice storm recently, when trees •ft-ere falling by the hundreds, the sturdy old walnut maintained a good resistance, and sut­tered less damage than younger trees. .\s Monday, the day set for the felling of the tree, waa impossible, because ot the storm, the tree was not cut down until last week Thursdav,

.Vccording to local historv the wite of the flrst minister of the Unitarian ohurch. Hev, Joseph Emerson, came from York. Me., and bringing three English . walnut.s, planted them near the residence they occupied. Two , of the trees grew to matured size. One ot them, standing near thc driveway of the house then occupied by Dr. William Heald, now the Starr place, was cut down, as obstructing the drive and many ot the pieces •were used in liRautifnl mantels, aaid-axWcle" of. *-ar<\ value.

The year in which the trees were planted i.s placed at about 1755, as Parson Emerson was settled over the l'nitarian church about 1746, accord­ing to authentic record, and the young bride of the minister came here to live a few years later.

The trde was struck by lightning some time ago. and the upper branches split apart. If tree .surgery had been practiced then, .as much as in the.se times, the injury might have boen healed, and thc heart of the tree pro­tected, iirobably for another half cen­tury. There are many who will mhss the old landmark.

The present owenr of the place, Mr. Hiiir.pton. took the advice of tree ex­perts hefore decidin.g that it would be necessary to have the tree cut.

The tree was felled by Frank Hatch, with some assistants to .aid in getting the tree down without damaging the house. It is now being cut into lengths suitalile tor storing, as tho lurniK'r is valualilo.

WH E N winter storms come, a touch of extra heat is often

needed. On the side where the wind blows it's nearly always drafty and chilly. This winter— wherever the wind searches—put a Perfection Oil Heater in its path. It will keep the whole room up to "comfort-point" temperature.

The cost of this extra heat is small,

and its use enables you to keep a slower fire in the main heating plant. In many instances the Perfection will soon pay for itself by the coal it saves.

MiUions of homes use Perfection Oil Heaters. Ask your dealer to show you one.

A BIGGER AND BETTER ASSORTMENT THAN EVER—SHOP EARLY

Monioomery Hariiware 60. 15 Main Street AYER, MASS.

'T^HE Ford runabout is just wha t its name implies—it's a regular "get-about."

There is no other car that will take you there and back again, quicker, safer and more economically.

It's the car for the man of action—the farmer, the merchant, the doctor, the contractor, the collector—the car that is useful every day of the year. Low in the cost of maintenance, with all of the sturdy strength, dependability and reliability for which Ford cars are noted. On account of the unusual demand we urge that your orders be placed as early as possible.
