TOWN TRIES TO
UPROOT GOSSIP
4 Unique League Is Formed in
Massachusetts to Fight
the Practice.
Northfield, Mass.—The first ontl
gossiplng league of the world has
been organized in this beautiful vil
lage. A national No-Gossip day is
proposed.
The no-gossip league is unique. It
has no constitution, no by-laws, no
officers, no dues. Yet the founder
and organizer, F. Ambler Welch, ed
i itor and publisher of the Northfield
i
Why Look Critically at Your Neighbor?
Press, sees a great future for the or
ganization.
“Not that Northfield is more gos
sipy than any other town in the
world,” said he. “Gossip is an off
spring of envy. It is natural for
* women to be envious, hut it is true
that men are also moved that way
on occasions.
“It occurs to me we should give
our neighbors the benefit of the
doubt.
“Why lift the eyebrow7 if a neigh
bor’s wife has a hew7 paradise plume
—very likely it is an old one and
was not smuggled.
“Why shrug one’s shoulder if some
bank officer appears in a new7 motor
car—very likely be mortgaged his
house to get it instead of stealing the
money from the bank.
“Why look critically at your neigh
bor if he has a red nose—very likely
•r it Is from sunburn and not from tip
pling.
“We’ll try to make this little town
u gossip free, and if the outside world
wishes to take up the plan, I’m in
favor of pushing it.”
GOAT PAYS LEG FOR LOYALTY
Leaps From Mine Sweeper When
Sailor Goes to Rescue
Drowning Man.
New York.—At the Bide-a-Wee home
* for animals attention is focused just
now on bringing about the speedy re
covery of Jim, mascot of the British
mine sweeper Canada. Jim is a goat,
with a rigid conception of duty, and
the effect of discipline led him to leap
overboard in the wake of his master.
As a consequence he is now at the
home with a broken leg and minor
injuries. He was rescued from the
East river and placed in the hands of
the Bide-a-Wee management for treat
ment.
Jim Is the property of A. V. Mc
Gregor, a seaman on board the Can
ada. McGregor trained him to do
many tricks, but he neglected to warn
him against leaping overboard. A mem
ber of tlie crew of the Canada, which
lias been at anchor in the East river,
fell Into the w7ater. McGregor leaped
after the man, and the- goat leaped
after McGregor. For a time the goat
complicated matters, McGregor states,
but was finally landed on the deck of
the sweeper. The seaman w7as drowned.

read the verdict the jurors jumped
to their feet and objected. They had
signed a “not guilty” verdict by mis

ROTARY BACKS THE SCOUTS.
The Rotary club of Montgomery,
Ala., at its weekly meeting saw a dem
onstration of the scout program. The
boys showed bandaging, carrying, resus
citation, knot-tying, fire-making with
out matches and other bits of scout
craft.
They were heartily applauded, and
as a result of their exhibition the boys’
work committee of the Rotary club
unanimously voted to establish a first
class scout council.
