nature.It issaid that the insects are just about ready to leave their tents in millions and unless something can be done to check their ravages, the foliage is likely to be stripped from a good share of the trees, and the chiet charm of this northern country irreparably marred.There are economic reasons why farmers and others should do their utmost to check the ravages of these pests, The scraggly trees along the highways may not be worth saving but when the worme have stripped these they will march to the orchard or sugar place and continue their work of destruction, and the great army will keep on increasing from year to year.Cut out the tents or apply the kerosene torth at once.Remember that \u2018every little helps,\u201d and that your example may be beneficial to your neighbor.Kiil

Mr.Stephenson broke a leg and has been seriously ill for over a year; Mrs.Stephensdn is an invalid, and now this latest calamity.Blanche is the oldest of a large family and a much loved sister, daughter and wife.Miss Ruth England is cooking at the Rockview boarding house, while its mistress is nursing severely scalded hands and limbs.Dr, J.D.Sheehan is attending her.Mr.and Mrs.H.G.Knight moved this week to their new house in the village.On Monday Robert Farman took possession of the farm recently purchased from H.G.Knight.VERMONT ITEMS.Chamberlain Post, G.A.R, Bt.Johnsbury, has engaged J.Rolf Searles to deliver the Memorial day address.Seven thousand.three-year-old spruce trees are being planted on Dr.H.P.Walker's land oun Nickwackett mountain in Pittsford.Only 17 towns in Vermont have saloons since May 1.Noone applied for a liquor license in the town of Wells, which in former years has had one whenever the town voted yes.The evening school which has been conducted by the Brattleboro Woman\u2019s Olgb has closed for the season.Twenty-one\u2019 pupils were registered, 17 being Swedes, three Italians, and one Russian.George F.Lewke, who has been in Burlington and vicinity buying maple syrup, bas returned sto Chicago.Mr.Lewke who represents the Reid-Mur- dock Co., of Chicago, purchased while in Vermont 16 carloads or about 48,- 000 gallons.The work of the new agricultural school at Randolph is for teaching.Craftebury has two of its young men attending this school, Harry Buchanan and Hollis Lathe.This will keep the obildren on the farm.Let the good work grow.The Grange of Brownington will hold a local fair in September.This is a unit of a system that should increase, for it is poseible to make much of it as a factor in the uplift of farm lite and the betterment of the quality and price of ite products.From the 280 trees belonging to C.O.Billings of Middlebury were made 2,750 pounds of first-class maple sugar this season.This is not counting the amount eaten or given away.This probably surpasses the amount made in any orcbard of a similar number of trees.By a new rule which has gone into effect at the Vermont state prison at Windsor under the new management the convicts are now allowed to visit among themselves during the dinner hour.In so far as can be learned this privilege was never before granted in this institution.A state summer school for teachers will be conducted at Castleton July 6 to 25, under the auspices of the state board of education and under the direct control of the Castleton State Normal School.This school is an annual institution.It bas come to be à definite important part of the school work of the state.The concert given at Rutland by Miss Ella M.Brownell of St.Jobns- bury, under the auspices of the Rut- land Teachers\u2019 Association, was a great success, over 400 persons being present.It was estimated that the proceeds which will be given to aid the teachers\u2019 retirement fund, will amount to over $100.Wallace N.Bachelder of Bethel ,one of Col.Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders, who is raising a cavalry regiment in Vermont in case there is war with Mexico, says that he has received 500 applications from men who would like to join a cavalry regiment, and should one be formed it would undoubtedly be mobilized at Fort Ethan Allen.; B.F.Heidel, senior highway engineer, section of good roads, department of agricultural, Washington, D.C., has arrived in Montpelier to give the Montpelier officials expert advice on roads.The city council asked for an expert through United States Senator William P.Dillingham.Mr.Heidel will make a thorough study of highway conditions in the capital city.THE FARM BUREAU AT WORK.Mr.R.F.Devel has been secured by the Bureau of Orleans county as agricultural advisor.Mr.Devel commenced bis work last week.For the present, his beadquarters will be at Newport.The Bureau has purchased an automobile for his use in the work over the county.A farmer may obtain this expert's assistance and coaching by making application, remitting one dollar for the annual fee, and thus becoming a member of the Bureau.Invest a dollar and send Mr.Devel an invitation to call on you wben in your vicinity and get ao- quainted with bim, thereby ascertaining what he is trying to do for you.You must admit that your hearty codperatton is necessary if the scheme is to become successful.If you need his assistance the price ie low, and you will never actually know it this man can do you any good until you come in contact with him and frankly talk over your farm work with him.Isn't it worth a dollar to prove the scheme either worth while or no good?It is tar better to be first than last, for if it is what you need, the sooner yod have it the better, if it is the opposite, get pastit.The fact ie you are sure to need expert advise if you expect to keep up with the ap-to date, progressive farmer, Send your dollar to Mr.R.E.Devel or G.W.Richmond, Secretary, Newport, Vt.The Tribuna of Rome compares President Wilson to President Lincoln.Both, it says, were possessed of the same Biblical inspiration, the same vigorous Puritanism, the same combatant ideals.BUSINESS CONDITIONS.\" Nearly all of the salesmen taking out samples from the local factories, and those visiting the villages oom- plain of the business conditions.The strong geperal merchants of Canada and the United Btates, the large users of goods, are not anticipating by their purchases, even normal business this season.The wise are going slow cautiously, and the spot of blue sky has not appeared above the horizon.The pessimist is evidently baving his innings.Bumper crops is the tone of the government reports in the United States, and as far as winter wheat, cotton and some corn and flax arrears are concerned, they are sufficiently near the harvest to eustain this report and are more than straws.The industrial situation is far from hopeful, which the large decrease in the volume of sales and the wholesale laying-off of operatives in nearly every establishment all over the continent, proves.The plethora of cheap money and the enormous reduction in orders for steel and iron, removes the mask from the facts.Locally, building operations are practically at a standstill, and this is also true all over the country.Very Ifttle new work is completed, consequently the prices for labor and material have receded from the strong position of a year ago; logically this is the time for those in need of new construction to build, providing they can secure the capital.The conditions of business are more or less contagious, and we are all influenced more or less by them, but the actual facts are always in control and finally have their day of accounting, a time that is sometimes cold, relentless and even cruel; they are sure of their \u201cpound of flesh.\u201d .When the world learns its lesson \u2018living within its means\u2019 and\u2018 cutting its garment according to the cloth,\u2019 the banking system, the production from the mine and factory, will have less to do with our comfort, and the farm will come into its own as the king contributor to our contentment.HAD AN EYE TO BUSINESS Ugly Man by No Means Cast Down Over the Lawyer's Opinion as to His Looks.He had a sample of a subscription book under his arm, but instead of asking the lawyer to look at it he sald: \u201cAs a matter of fact, my friend, am I not one of the homeliest men you ever met?Give it to me straight.\u201d \u201cI\u2014I think you are,\u201d replied the lawyer after a long and steady look.\u201cYes, I think you take the cake over any homely man I ever set eyes on!\u201d \u201cThat's candid, and I'm much obliged.Now, one thing more, and don\u2019t deceive me in that.I have been told that I look like a hippopotamus in the face.You have seen a hippo, and now you see me.Do you find any resemblance?\u201d , \u201cTo be frank with you, I do.\u201d \u201cA very close resemblance?\u201d \u201cVery close.It you were looking at me through the bushes 1 should feel certain that you were an escaped hippo.Sorry to have to tell you eo, but you have asked me to be frank, -and\u2014\u201d \u201cThat's all right, gir, all right.I thought people had lied about my looks, but I find they have told me the truth.I look like a hippo, and a hippo is the homeliest looking beast on earth.That's all, sir, and I thank you.\u201d \u201cBut you won't go off and-\u2014and com mit suicide?\u2019 queried the lawyer.\u201cSuicide?Not by a jugful! No, sir.I shall continue to live right on, but instead of canvassing for subscription books as heretofore I shall go around stopping clocks and arrange with some fellow to pay me 10 per cent commission on all repairs.\u201d\u2014BEx- change.NEAT, EVEN FOR FRENCHMAN Typically Parisian Was the Witty, If Ironical, Rebuke Administered Mean House Mistress.Tha Parisian is proverbially polite, although he may and often does impart & flavor of ironical mischief to his courtesy.The following incident 1s typically Parisian.It fe the custom in the French capital for the cook to do all the marketing.This adds considerably to the cook's income, for every dealer allows her about 1 cent on every 20 cents that she spends.So French cooks insist on their marketing prerogative, and the mistress who denies it to them is held to be a very mean per son.Well, a person of this sort, an elder ly woman, was in the habit of doing her own marketing in a long duster.The duster hid her purchases, While she was usurping her cook's rights, it kept her from being detected in the act.As this woman, one hot morning, Was walking homeward in ber duster from the St.Honore market, she stumbled and a leg of mutton fell and rolled across the sidewalk.A passing stranger, sizing up the situation, picked up the leg of mutton and, with a bow and smile, returned it with this salutation: \u201cPermit me.Madame-\u2014=your fan\u201d Dairy Profits by giving your dairy herd the most comfortable quarters that can be built.Be your own dairy inspector and insure the absolute purity of your dairy products by building your stable and spring house of a material that insures sanitary conditions, and which, at the same time, is economical.Build with Concrete Its the most economical material for every kind of farm building, for it requires no repairs, never wears out and never needs painting.Dairy stables of concrete are clean and sanitary.They keep the herd warm and comfortable in winter, and tend to increase both the quantity and quality of the milk.- Whether you build a stable, silo, spring house or other farm building, concrete is the cheapest material to use.What the Farmer Can Do with Concrete \u2019® is the title of a beautifully illustrated free book that tells all about concrete farm\u2019 buildings and how to build them to save money.Farmers\u2019 Information Bureau Canada Cement Company Limited 528 Herald Building Montreal H.C.WILSON & SONS, Limited 5OTH YEAR The most up-to-date musical establishment in Eastern Canada.Sole agency for Chickering & Sons Pianos, Heinizman & Co.Pianos, Wilson Pianos, Weber Pianos, Milton Pianos of New York, and others that we can recommend.Estey and Wilson Organs.The famous Heintzman & Co.Player- Pianos.I'he New York Autopianos and Wilson Player-Pianos.Band and Orchestral Instruments.Victor Talking Machine, #20.00to 8250.00.Edison Phonographs, $19.50 to 8250.00.Large stock of records for both instruments.Pianos to rent.Artistio Tuning and Repairing.Bargains in second-hand Pianos and Organs.Write us for list.Head Office and Piano Salesroom NEW WILSON BUILDING, - SHERBROOKE, QUE.BRANCH STORES;

It was never even voted upon in more than that number of states, all over the Union, north, south, east and west, and it is in force in nine states at the present time.We also challenge the Observer to ehow the figures from any state to juetity the last sentence of the paragraph above quoted.All the figures we have ever examined go to show conditions exactly opposite to what the Observer claims.Such statements, with no show of proof, should be enough to strain the conscience of the liquor party itself.VOTING OCTOBER FIRST.Tbe Department of State, Ottawa, has fixed Thursday, October 1st, as the date for voting upon the Canada Temperance Act in Stanstead County.Some time ago those most familiar with the movement gave up looking for a vote in May or June, and since the contest could not be brought to a close before the stress of hoeing, haying and harvesting, it is perhaps well that it should be delayed until after the fall fairs.Upon the whole there is little reason for finding fault with the Government.The little more than four months will go by quickly enough for all who have work to do, and there should be no relaxation on the part of those who have been earnestly striving for a better social order in Stanstead County.Much might be done in the way of strengthening the organization and securing the codperation of many who are in sympathy with the no-license movement, but who, up to this time, have taken no active part init.We have hesrd of quite a numbor who would like to share in the expense of the campaign, but who have as yet, been given no direct opportunity to do so.This is a campaign in which everybody may assist in one way or another.In connection with the no-license movement an Ontario lady writes of a Plantaganet man who went to vote last winter; next morning his wife looked out of the window and saw their horse standing beside the house, her husband frozen solid in the sleigh; he had been drinking.This lady believes that those who sign license petitions should be held responsible for the results of the open bar.HAPPY MOTHERHOOD Thehappincasof motherhood istoooften checked because the mother's strength is not equal to her cares, while her unselfish devotion neglects her own health, It is a duty of husband or friend to ree that she gets the pure medicinal nourishment in Scott's Emulsion, which is not a drug or stimulant but nature's cone centrated oil-food tonic to enrich and enliven the blood, strengthen the nervesand aid the appetite.Physicians everywhere prescribe Scott's Emulsion for overs worked, nervous, tired women;

I didn\u2019t like to kill them, * *but after the first one or two I got cold-blooded.They are not very plentiful, or not much as they were when we first came.\u201d * * \u201cKincaid looks rather better to me than when I got here.I was rather tired and it looked pretty dirty, but it seems to be growing; every day new buildings are going up.Alice and I have been driving around some and I like the country very much; it certainly ie very progressive.Miss McLean, the teacher has just bought a new saddle pony, saddle and bridle, and Alice and I drove the pony up in the buggy.There are three very nice achoolhouses in eight of Alice\u2019s, and another wil} soon be built at Meyronne.\u201d Kincaid is a new Canadian Pacific railway town and Mr.Pomeroy is now engaged in the real estate aud implement business there in company with Charles P.Lee, formerly of Quebec city.Pomeroy & Lee is the firm name.SALOON RESULTS IN EVIDENCE.Beebe, Que., May 21\u2014Two men more or less under the influence of liquor met in one of the stores of Beebe on Saturday night to make sonte purchases.It was not long however before a warm discussion started between them, and in à few minutes more a fistic rough and tumble melee took the place of the discussion and resulted in one of the combatants having bis head cut in several placss by coming in contact with the stove.Thesecond scene was the disappear ance of one of the men\u2014and the other who got the worst of the \u2018\u2018scrap,\u201d hunted up a Justice of the Peace to have a warant issued.This he sac- ceeded in doing and the officer started in search of the man who had disappeared.The next ecene brings forward the dark horse and the man who bad evidently turnished the firo water which had caused the trouble, namely the saloon-keeper, and he tenders the plaintiff in the case 85.00 to bueh the thing up and this quiets the matter together with the promise that he will give the defendant 48 hours to leave town and vacate his blacksmith shop.It is strange that men should be under the influence of liquor at 8.30 p.m.Saturday night with the barroom closed tight at 7 p.m.on Saturday night, Bud Fisher's famous characters, \u201cMutt and Jeff,\u201d appeared at Lane's, Newport, Friday night, delighting a large audience including a fair sprinkling of Canadiape.Earl Redding and Jerry Sullivan, as *Mutt and Jeff,\u201d were never dissapointing, and were supported by a strong company.___ AUCTION SALE { shall sell at publio auction for Edward Minor at his old farm at Crystal Lake, 8 miles north of Pitch Bar Sstarday, June Oth, 1914, the following: 1 weleht 1200, 1 Blac , tour years old, weight 1800, 1 Black Mare, five years old, weight 1500, 1 Black Horse, thirteen years o! weight 1400, 1 good Buggy, 1 Slat Wagon, g Sleigh, 1 ung.1 pair one-horse Bleds, 1 one-horae Wagon, lot of Farming Tools, 1 kit of Carpentec'u Tools, 10.000 ft.oy Liber, 10,000 Dry Shingles.1,000 ft, lwright Lumber, some Block Wood, 2 extra good Buffalos, a Bumber of Harnesses, 2 tons Pressed Hay, and all the Household Furniture, con sisting of the contents of four bedrooms, and of kitchen, dining room and parlor, 8 Btoves, lot of Dairy Tools, Washing Machine, Wringer, 1 large k-case, a lot of Écdding of all kinds.lot of Carpets and Rugs, 1 woman's Coon Coas, 1 Lambakin Cap.Positively no reserve as farm is sold and al) must go.Terms\u2014$10.00 and under.cash;
