YouTl get somewhere with a pipe and P, A.!
Princ9 Albert it sold in toppy rcd bagse tidy rsd tins, handsome pound and half pound tin humidors and in tbo poand crystal glass humid or with \pongt moistsnsr
top.
Start fresh all over again at the beginning! Get a pipe!—and forget every smoke experience you ever had that spilled the beans! For a jimmy pipe, packed brimful with Prince Albert, •will trim any degree of smokejoy you ever registered! I t ' s a revelation!-
Put a pin in here! Prince Albert can't bite your tongue or parch your throat. Both are cut out by our exclusive patented process. So, just pass up any old idea you may i ave stored away that you can't smoke a pipe! We tell you that you can—and just have the time of your life on every fire-up—if you play Prince Albert for packing!
What P . A. hands you in a pipe it will duplicate in a home-made cigarette! Gee—but you'll have a lot of fun rolling 'em with Prince Albert; and, it 's a cinch because P. A. is crimp cut and stays put! •'

Some Straws. It is nn old saying that "Straws
show which way the current is moving," and the straws in evidence at the elections of Tuesday, November 8, show a movement rather ominous for thc G. O. P. Tho victory of Tammany in New York even by an unprecedented majority might not be so significant, but tho democratic victory In Albany for tho flrst tlmo in twenty-two years should make the "old guard" sit up and take notico.
In quite a fow other places that were fairly evenly balanced in ordinary times thc democracy won out, whilo some normally ropublican returned democratic candidates or elected republicans by greatly reduced pluralities. Our legislature at Wa-sh-Ington should take notice.
Though no national issue.s were involved It looks ns though tho voters were getting tired ot the m.asterly inaction of congress and cxpre.ssing their disgust in nbout the only way possible—hy voting for local memliers of tho mlnorit>; pnrty. Of course, boyond registering di-iapprov-al, such action does not accomplish very much of practical valuo, na tho.sc voted In are. unlikely to do any moro for thoir constituents than those voted out, though they cannot easily do much less.
The frantic efforts ot congress to fix np a tax that will produce thc money and not hurt, so far do not seem to be a howling succoss and it would seem as though an lionost effort to redeem pre-election pledges would not havc produced moro dissatisfaction or alienated morc voters than all the bucking, trilling and training that has bcon gono through. Tho straight-forward course would havo at lonst accomplished something boforo this and given the country a deflnlte settlement of the mnttor .and a chanco for adjustment to prevailing conditions.
After our experience of looking for a tax revision, what may wo expect when congress gets down to an earnest consideration ot tho tariff problem? It looks as though thc political complexion of congress might chango beforo that puzzling job Is completed. V. T B

This Is the first dato showing the Westford conipany to be in existence The flrst entry in the book Is,

when "the Capt. or Commanders ot Conipanys In the Sixth Roginient Second Brigade and third Division are Requested to call their Conipanys together on the flrst Tuesdav of may next • • • » .by order of Colo. Benja. Osgood. Levi Parker Adgt."
The first recorded election ot officers was "May 3 179C this day Chosen Abraham Prescott Lieut Isaac Prescott Ensgln. Abljah Tarbeil flrst Sargent 1. Benjamin Fletcher 2. James Snow 3, Timothy Cummings 4, Joel Keyes flrst Corporal 1 Benj. Prescott 2, Emla Goodhue 3, Levi Parker 4. Under Capt: Jonathan Koyes."
Many different handwritings appear, but not all doeuments aro signed In autograph and otten there is no signature ot a clerk.
Shortly we come on "Division orders" date at ".Xewton October 10th 1796 • • • by Major General Hull. John Wllllanis aid de Camp. A true copy Samson Woods Major of Br."
Heroin w-as established uniforms for each regiment. "6th Regiment Short blue Coats with white tasings white wescoat and overhalls black half gatars and black strap below the knee a small black round hatt with ono side turned up a piece o t 1am-skln over the crown and a white feather."
And recently the white feather was the appropriate present for the slacker! Times and customs change.
Shortly we flnd in "Brigald orders. Pepperell October 18th 1790. • • • • In all the Regiments and Comps in the 2d Brigade brigadier recommends that their belt be whito for Cartridge Box and their Baynot Belts. By order of General Woods. Samson •Woods Brigade Major."
Elve pages are taken up with Major General Hull's division orders dated at "Xewton 27 March n a s . " How many of our readers can tell why the following sentences appear therein at this special date? "Major Genl Hull calls on the oflicers to be perticularly attentive to their duty the present year if In timo of tranquility it is our duty to be prepared for tho common dens of our country how muoh more Important it is at ii crisis so alarming as at the present a country which by its firmness has witnessed the triumph victorv and enjoyed the blessings of independence will ever plase a gust estimate on the fruits ot Its E.xertlbns and be prepared for the defence ot Its rights whenever they are Invaded. • • • • the charecteristic of the peoplo that they be ready to meet every diffe-culty & danger in support of the necessary measures -of defence that they wlll be trew Americans. • • • • when companies are at such dlflance that they cannot unite with others without burdensome march the Major Gonl. does not expect they wlll leave their Company preado • • • « Should the woather be unfavorable It Is not expected this arrangement will t,ake place."
"the Companies in the morning will be expected on their Company preado." 'Whero this division "preado" was does, not appear.
"Preparedness." Does history repeat itself?
In January. 1800. because ot the death of Washington, the militia of the state wore ordered to wear their military •uniforms every Sunday for six months with a black nape on the left arm. Just above the cuff, and the hilts of the offlccrs" swords be also covered with blnck.
From ••PeppcrtI January 2Sth 1800 Major Bancroft through Timothy Timothy Spaulding Adjt. ordered all Conipanys in the 6th Regiment to assemble In their own towns on the 22d day of February for thc purpose ot paying their last respects to thoir beloved Ooneral Goorge WashlnRton."

On December 10. 1804, Abljah Tarbeli wns elected captain and Imla Goodhue lieutenant.
The next entry is "March 16 1S05 this day Rood, of Capt A Prescott one drum and two red uniform Coats and onc I had before which makos three. Abljah Tarbeil."
Part of an order dated Popporell, Sept. 27. 1803, is, "Lt Imla Goodhue ,>c Lt Joseph Reed of Westtord will call thoir Conipanys together in Westford on monday the fourteontli dny of Octolier next at one oclock P. .M. for the purpose of Choosing a Captains in-oach Company and Com

March frorn Westtord to popporoll and train and get Iiome with two dollars and flfty cents' worth of music! Still tho money bought much more "musick" then than now.
May 7, 1811 tho -company chose Timothy Cummings captain. Ensign Jonathan Proscott, lieutenant; Sergt Simeon Stevens, enslen.
Tho strength of the company was provided to bo not less than 04 rartk and flie, but May 2/ 1815, rank and Hlo was but 41. On tho flrst Tuesdiiy in May, 1812, Timothy Cummings, captain, said hc had sergeants 4, corps. 3, misick 2, soldiers 72, muskets 64, bayonets, 00, cartridges boxes 66, Iron rods fi7, scabbards and belts 06, Hints 134, wires and brushes 67, knapsacks 66, cartridges with balls 1608, rlHo giins 1, balls 20 pounds ot powdor M.
There Is rni undated subscription list wnereby the amount of $18.91 In sums varying from flve or six cents to $1.50 -ivas raised for the purchaije' of a ba,ss drum. Ono niember of the company paid more for "Said Drum Bought of Isaac* Gould & delivered to Silas Meriam to beat oh by his paying four dollars towards thu drum & keeping It in good .fepalr. A true Copiiy- Joash Keyes Clerk."
It was apparently a privlioge worth while to beat the big drum in thoso days.
On September 20, 1815. Capt. Timothy Cummings "appointed Joel Taylor Sargont In the room of John Cutter a Sargent promoted, ho- aiso appointed William. XJhandler Jun in the room ot Joseph Fletcher Jun who enlisted to the rifle company in Westford." Are there any records In existence of this rlflo company or ot the second company above mentioned''
In May, 1810, we Hnd "Offlcers, John Cutter Capt, Joash Koyes Lieut, Aaron Keyes Ens. , .Musicians F. Thomos Richardson. F. Theodore Peabody,- D. ir.a Pratt. D. Abel I; letcher. D. Jacob Abbott; Sargents. Joel Taylor, Josiah Fairbanks, Eloak-lin Hutchins," and ninety-nine names in rank and flie.
This is the only time I find the names of musicians. It was evideritiv il flfe and drum corps. .
After a flve-yoar brcnk in the records we flnd Joash Keyes. captain, In 1821. In 1822. Thomas Spaulding was captain. In 1832 we flnd Timothy P \\ right as captain after a seven-year lack of records.
The flnal entry In this book Is of o rT',lS'="'i"' • "'>: 8' " 3 2 . of "Louis P. Hildreth cnslgne."
Heroin is shown the existence In this town for thirty-six years of a militia company training annually early In May even to stray entries of payment of a two-dollar flne for nonappearance on that day.- Other training days at various times there were some when this company went to Groton or to"Pepperre l l ."

Tlie t h o u g h t is so far from the truo t h a t the e r roneous idea, if it exists, should bo corrected. I wa.s c l ia i rman of thc commit tee in 1.P19-1920. and had some sl ight ixirt, I lio-liovcj in .-issisting in organizing t h e womcn'fi division. .As now comple ted It ranl is not only fii-st, compared wi th o ther s ta tes , but, .-us fornier ("hairm.an Hay.s once said to me—"in a class .ill by itself."
The women of Ma.s.s,acliusetts contr ibuted approxlm.ately $.10,000 to tho i tepublican par ty last ve.ar. I t cost a little over $23,000 to build the He-publican women ' s organizat ion from the ground up. Th i s included a st.ate commit tee of forty .and a complete organization In every cily nnd town th roughou t t h c Commonwea l th , w-Ith thc exception of five small towns which wero so strongly Uopubl ican tha t .a commi t t ee w-aa deemed t innec-e.s.snry. This splendid organizat ion is largely the resul t of the wor){ of Mrs. J a m e s 1>, Ti l l lnphast . the present executive .ch.airman of the women ' s d i vision. T h e women ,h.ave spen t sinco . lanuary 1. 1921. a little over 17000. As a m a t t o r of fact, therefore , t h e Uepiiblicnn women of M.assachusetts havc financed themselves since the i r enlr.ance in to politics, Thoy a re now arranKlng (or a baz.aar. from w-hich they hope to realize enough to carr>-tholr w-brk th rough thc campaign of 1922 and to 192.'!.

of the two i-awrence l i rothers once so woll-ltnown h e r e :
"At the r e tu rn of peace after thc war of 1812, thoro waa a great scarcity of m o r c h a n d i s e in tho United States, Tho firm of A. and A. Iviiw-rencc, then located on Market street, wliich became Cornhll l , determined to improve thc oppor tun i ty , and Abbott Uawrencc .sailed for Kuropo on the ship '.Milo' to buv goods for this mar ket.
"On llis arri^ial ho hastonod to Mancliester, m a d e hLs purch.a«es. .and retnrned to I.ivoriiool the ovening before '.Milo' was to st.art on hor re turn voyage. He took his goods to tho vessel on a l ighter , Iml the mate refused to rer. ' ive t l iem. as tiie cargo was nil on board and the ha tches down.
! "Ahbntt ly.awreiice would not take i no for an answer Hc succeeded in pcr-i .siiading the mato to receive thc goods,
and he himself pulled .at the tackle and helped hoist tlie goods on lioard. The 'Milo' had a sho r t pa.s.s.ago back ami in less t h a n a week after thoir ar r ival in Boston the goods were sold a t an immense profit.
"The above anecdo te Is .a s t r ik ing i l lustrat ion of t h e grent energy o( c h a r a c t e r of . \ bho t t I .awrcnce. Whi le his b ro ther , Amos, wns of a feeble const i tut ion, Abbot t Uawrencc had a splendid physical equ ipment and was a n.atural leader of men.
