Wo cannot he lp recalling thc old church building that served as a church h o m o . f o r sb many years prior to building tho new church. It w.ns formerly a barn and belonged to the estato of tho lato John Farriir. It was remodeled Into a church but still re­tained the unprotontlous barn pl.iln-nc .s of ye olden time. But what It Iiiyked In attractiveness ot modern ar­chitecture It mado up In encourage­ment and enthus iasm ot comp.tratlve largo congregations. The writer can recall tho old fami l ies ot West Chelms­ford and Westford near the town line, who •jvcre regular attendants in that plain Old church biilldlng and a con-grega,tlon averaging one hundred was Ciuiy for those days with forunoon, af­ternopn and evening service.

ham and -Mrs. Harriet E. Borclnnd, daughter .of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Burnham of Chelmsford w e r e married last wook Thursday at the parsonage of the Primitive M.ethodlst church, Lowell, by Rev. N. VV. Matthews. Af­ter a trip through Now Hampshiro and Maine they will make the ir homo In ,'<Vestford on the Bunco farm. Provi­dence road, •whoro poultry on a largo scale and extensive horticulture wlli bo specialized In. As •we are Informed by Mr. Jordan, w h o recently sold the farm. Arthur Burnham wUI bo as­sociated with Mr.. Gro verner. Singular as It m a y seem th'e adjoining farm-Is owned' by another' Arthur Burnham. Young Mr. Groverner was a school­mate of Mr. Boreland. They enlisted together In (ho same company, were In the same battles, side by side In thc recent world war. Mr. Boreland •was killed and Mr. Groverner helped to carry him from the fleld and after the lapse of time since. the close "of the war Mr. Groverner marries his -school­mate's W-ldow.

We havc no doubt but that Westford is to be congratulated on these new accessions to tho life ot the town, yot we are sorry to lose so good a man as Jlr. Jordan, a s well as the famliy. For many years he w a s In the employ of the Pining Shoe Company In Low­ell and as One of the flrm said, "It ever there wns a white man h e i s one." While in Lowell ho w a s a member of the. First Splrltuated church and a member of the building committee.

Flre, Last' week Friday morning about

three o'clock the whist le'on the Abbot. Worsted Co. mill at Brookslde sounded the flre alarm and the engine ot a passing, freight train from Ayer to Liowell also sounded the flre alarm and the bell on the vlliago church at West Chelmsford rang the fire alarm for tho village church, which waa to­tally destroyed by flre. The Westford Flre Company -was sent for and made the trij) of four miles in a hurry-up time •with their new chemical engine, which had Just arrived in town a few hours' previous. A flro compp.ny from Lowell responded and the flre cSnTpany". of 25 members trom ChelmstOj'd Cen­ter with flre extinguishers responi^'J, but all efforts to save the church build­ing wero unavailing and tho most that could bo dor.a •was to save nearby dwellings, KT-Sich the flre threatened enough to'(fl.fSsei the household goods to be removed. • '''

Fred L. Fletcher and George O. Spaulding. the district flre wardens, "n'ere the flrst to bc summoned and they Immediately brgapized a line ot water 'buckets until the arrival of the fire companies, but the flre was speedy In Its work nnd everything in the church perished in the flames, Includ. Ing tho rope that rung the bell and a pipe organ installed about flve years ago.

The cause ot thc flre is not fully known, but the severe electric shower the atternoon previous is supposed to have disarranged the electric wires that light the church so that Friday evening at eleven o'clock when thc lights were turned on to return settees used for tho band concert It started the flre from disarranged wires.

This village church, known trom the sect.arlan point of view ns the M. E. church, was built thirty-three ycar.s ago by Wm. C. Edwards of Wostford. the well known contractor, now of the Ilrm of Edwards & Mon.ihan. at a cost ot S5000, Enough hn.s heen added .since to raise thc cost to about $7000, Then the insurance was J6000. hut the rreatly lncre.i.sod cost of bitilding lod thc trustees ot the chureh to investi­gate the probable cost of replacing the building with a view to more In-sur.ince. This Investigation ostim.itcd th.lt the building .ind contents could not he replaced for less than f28.000. Fortunate for thc church with these flgures tho trustees added $12,000 more insurahce, making a total of JIS.OOO Insurance.

•The church w.is located on Mnln ntrect about six rods over the Westford town line, bein centrally located for Brookslde, N.ibnassott. 'VVhlddcn'H Cor­ner, Oak hill and West Chelmsford. It waa a handsomo little structure and added thrift and safety to tho appcar-<ince of tho village. Thc church has always been of a tolcr.int spirit In dlf. fcrcnccB of belief, henco liberals of v.irious names contributed t a t h c build. Ing of tho church and will to rebuild­ing.

At a mooting of tho second quarterly conference of tho West Chelnisford M. E. church held last week Friday oven^ Ing at tho homc of Frcd A; Snow, dis­trict superintendent, Chas. E. Spauld­lng presided. There -was a large and cnthusliistic gathering and it wns unanimously voted to start on plans for a new church, 'the boys' camp nf Nabnassett hnd already subscribed $275 and aside from • this several thotisands havc been subscribed from various sources and Individuals.

CorineU did the b.ittery work for Abbot Worsted, while Mc­Partland and Bennett were in the points for ^Wakefleld. Next Saturday the* Abbot Worsted and the fast H. P.

The games being pulled off In Gran­itevllle this season are attracting wide attention', large numbers being present trom Lowell, A y e n North Chelmsford. Littleton and al l tho surrounding towns.

"Blng" Fares added to the trio made a quar­tet of heavy hitters.

Death. . .. . . ... ,,....., Tho death of Hon. Daniel Webster

Hayden, ,ohi) of thc best known and most successful business men of this town and section of tho state, occurred at his home Saturday morning, Jtily 17. Mr. Haydon v/as eighty yeara old, the son of Samuel and Harriot (Needham) Hayden, and,was born in Hollls oii the i^amliy homestead where his ancestors settled In 1760. His. education was obtained at tho pld Ballcy •tschool- In former district No. 10, and at the high school, at that time hold In tho old town hall. This 'was supplemented by a course In civil engineering and sun-eying.

In 1861 he enlisted In Co. H, Tth N. H. vols., serving until April 28, 1S64, when he was discharged for disability because of wounds received at Fort Wagner and Olustce, Fla. .

About fifty years ago he with his brother. David Hayden, built the dam and mill khown as Haydens' mill, and they have conducted the business con­tinuously slnco that time.

For twenty-nine year's Mr. Hayden was chief of police. He was a - m e m ­ber ot the board of selectmen for four years. Xn 1900 ho represented the, town In the legislature and<was elected to tho state senate In 1911. He -was also a' delegate lo a number of con­stitutional conventions.

Aside from his activities aa a busi­ness man and town and state offlclal, Mr. Hayden had had much to do with the building of bridges and roads in this section, becaiise df his training as an engineer, and more than all this ho w a s olways a good neighbor and kind friend as many who have been In trouble can testify.

In 1866 Mr. Hayden married Ann E, Talbot of Mllford, who survives htm. Ho la also survived by one daughter Bertha, two brothers, ' David and Franklin, and one-sister, Mrs. John L. Woods, all of this town. . Funeral sorvices were held at the Hayden home, Tuesday atternoon, at two o'clock, and was largely attended. Thero was a profusion of beautiful flowers.

We copy the foUowing from the Xew Haven paper: '^George Da­vis of Woodbrldge at the exhibit of roses at tho public library won four first prizes—one for arr,angeinent of roses, one for basket of roses, one for bowl ot roses, ono for vases of roses, and second prize for vase of season­able flowers; also, a framed diploma for tho best collection of roses." Mr. Davis ' ; rose gardens at his homc In Woodbrldge are very beautiful. Ho has onb thousand, dlfterent roses and about 600 'different Varieties.

It was noticed In the Boston Post of a recent date that Henry W, Cushing of South Hingham clalraed the record for th'e longest sorvlce'as church or­ganist In New England, but Brooklino claims one of her town ladies as hold­i n g the rocord. Mrs. Hattie L. Stiles held the position as church organist for the M. . E . chUrch of thla place' 53 years wrlthout recompense. Although somdwhat advanced In years she still remembers how to. touch the keys. She began her services when only 13 years of ago and faithfully held the position for 53-years. We would like to know it anyono can beat this rocord.

THE JOY OP aflLVnia

Don't save for a "rainy day.*' That l a n t the forward-looking,

empire-building spirit, of America. Save BO that there won't be any

"lalay days." That Is tho phllosoj^y of optimism,

tho kind of thinking that i s go ing to moke yoo happy and make yottr old age a period of t u l l ^ t enjoyment.

D o n t save as a dull, hate lhl duty. Save becausie. by saving,, yon . can

win tha delights ot competence. Save so that you c a n afford, a. l i t t le

later, to buy something you w^nt very much, tor example—the aotomobllo yon are •walking for to-day.

Saving leads to temperance In all things, to constructive thinking, to clean living, to building for the fu­ture.

Start yonr mind going along^ saving l ines and then wnt'ch it travel. It will take your fattening pocket book along 'With it.

Let's j)ull together to produce more, to eliminate waste^ to save and to invest in "War Savings Stamps.

Don't be qnlttero. -Be savers , and l e a m the Joy of saving.

HOW JAKE HELPED 17K0LE SAM

By Aithea Nightingale.

TUa GiarK cutawau Harrow A Beliable Agricultural Implement, "Not Manufaettued Junk"

The •writer of ihis story, a Uttle girl In the Bveret t School of Boston, has-worked hard to prepare something suitable tor u s e lii. connection •with the vit>rk of seUlng War-Savings Stamps. Her idea of raising flowers to be given to wounded soldiers, a s weU as the plan of a vegetable gar­den for the conservation ot food, 'wiU doubtless be adopted by many ether , girls and boys. -

Once upon a t ime.there was a l itt le giri whose name •was Jane Clarke. She Uved In a Uttle vUIage outside of Boston.

Jane was al'ways trying to help her country. One day she waa sitting on the door-step wondering what to do. She said, "I have bought Thrift Stamps and 'War Savings, but that is not enough." She looked arotmd the yard. Just a s she was going into the hotise, feel ing very d l scourage i a bright Idea struck her, Jano Jumped up, nmning In the house as tast as her Uttle legs could carry her. "Mother! Mother!" cried . the excited chUd. Her mother came down­stairs and Jane sat down by tbe flre-place to teU her story.

"Mother," sbe began, slowly and distinctly, "I have bought Thrift Stamps and War Savings. Stamps. I think I can do more than t h a t 1 thought perhaps you •would let me plant a garden in the back yard. WUl youT" "Why, yes," answered her mother smiling.

The next • af temoon Jane began worUng in the garden. Thore was one place in tho yard which she had not used. Her mother told her that sbe might uso that to plant some flowers.

It did not take long for the flowers and the vegetables to grow. After the vegetables were all dog littlo Jane took them to the Food Conser­vation Club and gave them tb the peo­ple there to can. After the people canned them thcy put Jane's namo and ago on the Jars and sent somo of them to Washington, and tbe rest Jane sold and bought Thrift Stamps. Sho took Boir.o flo'svers to the camp and gave them to the wounded sol­diers who bad been flghting "over there."

Ono day Jane received a letter from Uncle Sam, thanking her for her thrllUness, and along trlth the let­ter camo a btitton which said, "TTirif-ty Ja'ne Clarke, 12 years old, is a lltUo patr iot"

' Song.LovIng Moeklng Bird. Mnny bird lovers who ore now i)«i^

mancnt residents of Florida, but who spent their early youth In the North, claim that the varied song of tho mocking bird fully compensates them for the lack ot the robin, tho song sparrow, the oriole and other. song­sters tl'nt they were accustomed to hear und gee among tho orchards and hills of their Northern homes. The mocking bird In. tho South really fills Uie place In one's affections that tho robin holds In the north.

— i . : ^ 1 - , The Beat Way,

If the show of anything be good for nnytlilug, I am sure sincerity Is better; for why does any man dissemble, or seem to be that which he Is not, but because he thinks It good to have such a quality as he pretends to? For to counterfeit and dlssenjble i s to put on the api)earance of some real excel­lency. Now the best way In the world for a man to seem to .be anything, is rcaUy to be what bo would seem to be. —Tlllotson.

Birthday .\nnlvcrsary. Tuesday was a day well suited for

Twelve ot her little playmates wero invited to enjoy the day with her and met from three to six in the atternoon.

Other to-w-n guests we're Marlon Gray, Esther Martin, Margherita Hlll, Anna and Marjory Drumm and Doris and Phyl l is Miyshant . " '

T h e ladles assisting the hostess, Mrs. Robbins, wore Mrs. J. A. Saunders. Mrs. Ida Robblns'and Mrs. C. E. Mar. chant.

Many dainty gifts were brought to thc littlo girl, to make t h e occasion a pleasant remembrance. The games out on the lawn were so much enjoyed that the summions to the lunch on the largo table under the trees, seemed to come all too soon. But tho table proved as great an attraction -when viewed as any part of the a f t emoon pleasures. The large birthday cake, ornamented with its five, resetted candles, occu­pied the place ot honor in the center. Souvenir place card.i were placed at cach guest's plate and delicious "|ce cream and assorted cakes were sorv'cd. The napkins were daintily tied with ribbons and contained souvenirs. Last. but not le.ist, were ' the large, fro-stcd "bunnies," 'at each place, well suited to children's idea of ifomethlng very pretty and unu.iual.

occurrcd at thc Carney hosplt.-xl. Bos­ton, on Sunday, July H . .^tter a st.-iy t h « o of two weeks for treatment, for aneurism.

Ho wa.-! the son o f t h e lnt» .M.itthcw and 'Marj- Tumpney, and wna horn In Franklin, N . H . , April S. 1876.

He. was employed for more than twenty years by thc Penppri>ll Card & Paper Company, and previous to th.it w a s .ft worker .at Leighton Bros. .Shoo factory.

His m.arriaKe to Mliis Ellz.-ibeth Sui-l lvan of this town, took place ton years ago, and thcy ha\T; resided for some time on Prospect street. She survivlca him, also onc brother. Rich­ard Tumpney, and a sister, MlM Julia Tumpney, ho th o l thla town.

Funeral services wore held on "tues-day momlnjc nt St. Joseph's church, with a requiem mass by Rcv. Thoma.< y . Cronan.

Mr. Tumpney was a member of tho Forresters and ot thc A. O. H., nnd both orders were represented at thc service. There wcrc also many friends and associates, friends bclnp present from Bo.iton. Roxbury. and Naahua, N. H. -

Tho pall-bcarcrs were Thomas J. Drummey, Stephen 'West, Joseph Sul­Uvan and Rohort St irk, and Inter­ment 'wnjj.ln St. Joseph's cemetery.

There were m.iny hcautlftyi lloral tributes and spiritual bonquets.

What She Waa Making Up. 'Virginia had been out the night be­

fore, nnd looked tired, so niother sug­gested she stay In. When John cnme down from her room mother snld: "Well, is sister making up her mind to stay In5" He replied: ".N'opo. She's makin* up her face to go out."

I>ry goods merchants in every part of the country, report radical changes in their customers' buying habits, due to war experience. People seek sound values in clothes. There Is no disposition to be parsimonious, or shabby, bnt •women are judging gar­ments by wearing quality. They no lonser purchase short-Ule go^wns or fabrics for the sake of showy ap­pearance. Thrift has brought in a new fashion era—qniet models which •wtll be in style several seasons in­stead of the ono-season "creaOon."

The merchants axe cutting down-wasteful methods in their stores, and eliminating superfltioos service, un-'wise credits, unprofitable deliveries and other happy-go-lucky, hlt-or-mlss extravagances tor which tho public had to pay.

Another Interesting development Is the sale ot materials tor home sewing. One store seeks to Intereat schoolgirls in making their ©•wn dresses. Prizes are^ ottered tor wel l -made garments; • se'wing instmct ion Is given in the store; suggestions aro made tor the purchase ot material, trimmings and patterns.

Somo stores make up 'bundles con­taining all the requisites for a given garment—the fab'rib and. all findings needed.

Money saved by. th is sort of w i se snending can be.; pafely Invested In War Sa'vings and'Thrift Stamps.

Mr. J. H. Puellcher, State Di ­rector of War Savings tor Wisconsin, has prepared a budget for incomes from $900 a year upward, which has been pronounced practicable.

Tbo budget fj;^!7vides 4Q per cent for. esod, clothing NI C! per cent, shelter 18' por cent, fuel, and l ight 7 per cent, sundries, inclQdlng sa'vings, 22 per cent. He considers the following a fair example: Pood $350, clothing $117, shelter $163, l ight and fuel $68.S0, recreation $36, church and charities $24, insiirance $48, carfare $31.50, savings $26, mlsc«sUaneous, in­cluding literature,' $27.

For a $3000 income the'proportions suggested are: Food $720, clothing $360, 'Shelter $330, l ight and fuel $114, recreation $108, chnrch and charities $72, Instirance $95, carfare $31.60, sav-IngB $750, miscellaneous, including lit­erature and physician, $150. help In houso $350. Some Items aro too low for eastern conditions, notably hous­ing ahd carfare, whi le others mlgl^t be reduced.

To save Is lmi>eratlve. Some people are b o m thrifty, somo achieve thrift, but most ot ns have thrift thrust upon us hy high prices and restricted incomes. To nil the budget Is tho universal help, and as a safe Investment for small savings, 'War Savings Stamps should be the Qist coihslderatlon after, the necess i t ies .
