epecial prayer meeting, held there on Tuesday evening, for the success bf the temperance cause, in Stanstead county.Some people claim to be in honest doubt over the license question, but there is never any doubt as to which side praying people are on.} In the old days those charged with the enforcement of liquor prohibition laws sometimes fared badly in the hands of liquor supporters.Since the latter are now 86 anxious to see the law enforced, it would seem that the former are destined to receive nothing but the *\u2018glad hand.\u201d Upon the question of drink public sentiment would seem to bave advanced even beyond the expectations of the most optimistic no-license supporter.On Saturday evening a young man from St.Johnsbury, whose name the JOURNAL was unable to learn, made a somewhat striking spectacle when he appeared on the streets here, in a state of intoxication, with two bottles of whiskey in bis pockets, He was afterwards picked up where he had tallen .and taken to the lock-up by Constable Oross and Immigration Officer Neveu.In the meantime he had followed a maid who was leading the daughter of her mistress, had separated the two and insisted upon accompanying the maid, until his plans were foiled by a young lad, a brother of the little girl in charge of the maid, who happened to be on the spot at the opportune moment.Every thoughtful citizen will welcome the day when we are rid of an element which attracts such people to our midst.The offender was sent South on the lale train.On Tuesday the JOURNAL bad a pleasant call from Mr, M.E.Church, president and general manager of the Falls Church and Northern® Virginia Telephone and Telegraph Companies.Mr.Church is a native of Orleans County, Vt.He was born within half a mile of Dery Line, 56 years ago.His father went to the war and died before its close from the effects of hardships endured while in the service of his country.Afterwards the widow married again and went to Virginis; the son followed and \u2018\u2018made good.\u201d He is connected with a number of commercial enterprises.Mr, Church gave some interesting facts regarding the prohibition movement in the South.In Virginia the no-license party has been making good progress under local option, about ninety per cent of the country districts now being \u201cdry.\u201d Some ten years ago the State passed a law under which licenses oould be granted only in places having police protection.This Act went a long way towards cleaning the booze out of the country districts, and under constant license reduction there bas been a steady lessening of crime, with corresponding social and commercial improvement.To-day a campaign for state-wide prohibition is on.The liquor party, having no argument to advance in favor of ita \u2018\u2018canse,\u201d is making its last stand under the Local Option banner, claiming that a state prohibitory law would be an infringement of the people's righte.The no-license forces arg well organised throughout the state aud the movement seems to be constantly gaining ground.Our Virginian oaller was perfectly confident of the ultimate trinmph of this righteous cause.Mr.Church came by motor from Orleans, Vti., where he is at present staying.With him were Mrs.Ohurch and daughter, Miss Mable Church, TOWN TOPICS.Five room tenement to rent.Joseph Malouin.Mr.William Young returned from

R.Nettleton, a well-known resident of Rock Island, died suddenly at his home on Maple À venue, early Friday morning, August 14th.According to the physician\u2019s diagnosis, death was caused by a

cemetery is beautiful, and is secluded from intrusion on two sides by the ravine, which adds to the quiet appearance.More pains should be taken to keep it in good order, and the work of the Board is

Pissaans Outing as Cedarville\u2014Training \u2018 fer Higher Service-A Now Chorus.Some twenty-three girls set off from Beebe in bigh spirits on Thure- day morning ab about half pass seven.A big team took most of the baggage apd nearly all the girls, except 8 few who came in theirown teams.Ittook some time to get unloaded and settled in the snug cottage which they had hired from Mr.O'Leary.When once settled they gave themselves up to the enjoyment of their holiday, which has been one long to betemembered by the girls and their guests.There was neither accident nor sickness during the time to mar our pleasure.- .The matter of food supply, which is always an item of great importance in camp, was easily managed as the guardian, Miss Akin, had arranged the menu for each day before starting.And the girls were tolled off to prepare it, three girls having charge for a day\u2018at a time.The parents showed an excellent understanding of healthy young appetites, in the way they sent in provisione from time to time.Scarcely a visitor, except a pack- peddler, left our camp without leaving bebind a supply of bread, ples, cake or some other- equally welcome viand.The boys, who were camping farther slong the shore, broughs - their tribute of beautiful bass, which were much \u2018enjoyed.The problem of dish washing, which would otherwise have fallen heavily upon some, was solved by each girl getting her own dishes at meal time, helping herself, and afterwards taking her dishes down to the lake and washing them.Thus only a few were left for the girls doing the work.Friday the girls packed their hampers and took a hike around the lake shore until they came, to a suitable place where they cooked their bacon and eggs over a camp fire.The rest of the time their meals were taken on | the cottage veranda, except the bedtime lunches which were generally eaten down on a huge granite rock, around & bonfire.This rock was a particular delight to the girls and their guardian, for its Bat surface afforded an excellent opportunity, for all sorts of games and revels during the evenings which were mostly spent on it, ending generally in a balf hour of singing io the soft light of the slowly dying camp fire.The girls were particularly fortunate in baving for a neighbor in the next cottagé, Mrs.Trill, a lady who, until a few months ago, had been a guardian ofa camp down in Vermont.They kindly joined the girls in their frolics, and in many ways contributed to their pleasure.The girls all join in thanking these kind neighbors for their sympathy and help.To them they owe the following Chorus which will be much appreciated by all Camp Fire girls and may be sung to the tune \u201cThere\u2019s a Tavern in the Town.\u201d Why, then, cheer the girl from Beebe, or fair, which ever she be Des remember that their camp is Ishkodah- kodah, \u2018Wo-he-lo be our slogan true, slogan true.Work, health, and love for me and you, me and you, For the standing pine and the sun\u2019s bright ray Shall usher in a Fighter day, brighter day.Sunday was spent quitely around the camp resting or reading.At two o'clock a Sunday school class was conducted by Miss Akin and Miss Gage, at which twenty-three Camp Fire Girls and two visitors were present.Inthe evening a song service was held down in the rockbound hall.The Rev.Mr.Trill, who had preached twice already during the day, and had been delayed for some hours ôn the lako by the caprices of a motor boat, kindly consented to speak to the company, the subject chosen being the search for the Holy Grail, telling of how the knight in bis enthusiastic endeavor to find the Holy Grail, passed .by the deeds of meroy and the common things of everyday life, as not worthy of his notice whose mind was set on higher things.Of how he toiled on o'er crag and mountain unmindful of all else save the thing for which be sought.He spent his best days at the search and came back at last old, poor, broken, and discouraged over the way o\u2019er which he had set ont.Here be found a helpless beggar to whom he stopped to give pity and aid, while he ministered to him; the beggar was changed, and in his place sat the very Obrist himself, and the cop of cold water he held to his lips, became the Holy Grail.Hetold them, that they, too, must watoh that in setting their minds on some ideal, however grand, and high that they did pot forget the deeds of love and meroy along the way, for in giving of themselves to others they would find their real happiness.After a brief word of prayer, this most impressive service held out under the stars by the light moon and the Camp Fire was dismissed.: Monday was spent mostly in preparation for the ceremonial meeting to be given that night.As the shadows deepened the friends began to gather on the shore overlooking the rocky platform, where chairs, cush- fons and blankets had been provided for their comtort.The girls gathered on a neighboring rock snd at à pignal from the guardian they crossed by an improvised beidge $0 the main stage, each giving tbe hand sign as she paseed the guardian.\u201c The scene was wierd and mystic as, in their quaint cexemonisl dresses, they wound around the sock with a slow and stately tread.Inthe veiled twilight they seemed like being transported from some old Indian legend of the spirit world, the only sound that broke the stillness of the scene was the lapping of the waters on the rocks around the place.The bonfire was lighted, tbe ode to fire was given by one of the girls, a Dumber of Camp Fire songs were sung, a folk dance was given, and the usual ceremonial]! service was carried out, after which Mrs.Trill, a past guardian, spoke very helpfully to the girls, telling them of her own Camp Fire, and impressing upon them the fact tbat, while fan and frolic may be a part of the life of a Camp Fire Girl, it is not her real aim, which is to be of service to others, to develop bigh ideals and to live in such a way ae to create In themselves a true womanhood.Mr.Trill and his brother also added a very pleasant feature to the programme by giving a song and recitations which were much enjoyed by the company.Tueday evening was gentleman\u2019s night and a party was given by the gitls, the time being spent in playing games, both around the cottage and down by the rock, where the usual jolly bonfire was blazing.The re- fteshments consisted of ice cream and cake, and the party closed with a marsh mallow toast down on the rooks.The good feelirg, loyalty and kindliness which existed among the girls for the entire time added materially to the success of the holiday.Wednesday the girls did their packing and Thursday at an early hour they set out for home, having spent a week long to be remembered as the jolliest time of their lives.SMITH\u2019S MILLS.The Woman\u2019s United Guild of Smith\u2019s Mills and Griffin held a pienic tea in Fair View ball last Wednesday.A very pleasant afternoon was

highway commissioner of Vermont, spent Thursday night in town.He went to Island Pond and Norton Friday to inspect the work in progress on the new highway between these two points.The commissioner expressed, in a modest manner, his pleasure at the pro- grees of the road work of the state for 1914.Automobile money thus far amounts to about $150,000, which, add- od to the legislative appropriation, brings the total road fund for the year up to $400,000.Road building in Vermont, under Mr.Gates, has proved conclusively that a road propesly built ot good gravel by the method he has tried out, ls the practical road for this section.By hie method roads are band-leveled and left for the travel to pack, with oocasional honing.Experience does not point to the steam roller as at all practical In the construction of euch highways.The \u2018\u2018pay a8 yon go\u2019 method, so faithfully adhered to by Mr.Gates, has proved the most eatisfactory.Vermont has moved along slowly in the solution of ber highway problem and the results register very few errors.Many sections of the country have spent millions on their road programs, bailding macadam and other hard roade that bave proven expensive and unsatisfactory.Mr.Gates\u2019 chief problem today is maintenance, and throughout the state he ie putting in operation the \u2018\u2018stitch in time\u201d idea on all state roads.The patrolsystem is gradually becoming a permanent and important department of this branch of the public service.Mr.Gates seems to bave the missionary spirit; be is not in this work to enrich himeelf, but to serve his state, to contribute to the uplift of the rural areas well drained of the state by easier gradients and highways, and this means accessibility.VERMONT ITEMS.Hon.Henry O.Ide, former United States minister to Spain, is at bis home in 8t.Johnsbury.The village of Lyndonville has purchased the Copland water system for 84,000, according to the recent vote taken.Mr.Arthur F.Stone, a former editor and publisher of the St.Johnsbury Caladonian, has gone to Springfield, Vt., as the editor of the Reporter.The Baptist church at East Dover, the Rev.George W.Rauseell, pastor, observed the one hundredth anniversary of its organization, August 12 and Cavendish doubtless has the costliest and the most artistic, as well as the largest soldiers\u2019 monument in the state costing $5,000.It is the gift of the late Senator Redfield Proctor.Donald Arkley, an Essex Junction boy, was elected one of five from the U.8.8.Parker to go with the U.8.treasure ship Tennessee on ite mission for the relief of marooned tourists in London.There is no less than a \u2018\u2018baker\u2019a dozen\u201d of candidates for the governorship of Vermont.Evidently there is to be an honest dozen of disappointed politicians after the votes are counted.\u2018Let the best man win, and he will.\u201d The effect of the war in Europe is being felt by the manufacturing interest of the state.The E.and T.Fairbanks Co., of 8t.Johnsbury have just received a stop order on two carloads of scales Yor Russia which are about ready to ship.The burean of crop estimates has just issued its Augustorop report, giving comparisons of the estimates for for the United States and New England.Figures for Vermont are as follows: Corn, 1,800,000 bu; oats, 3,- 150,000 bu; barley, 367,000 bu; buok- wheat, 199,000 bu; potatoes, 3,140,000 bu; hay, 1,240,000 tons; pasture, 89; cabbage, 86; onions, 80; apples, 75 per cent.During the severe storm on the night of Friday Aug.7th, the largestock barn of Andrew Hill iu Greensboro was struck by lightning and consumed, together with seven cows, three horses, several hogs, six calves, an automobile, a large quantity of farm tools, and about 71 tons of hay.Mr.Hill was up at the time of the storm and rushed to the barn to let out the cattle, but the flames drove him back before he could get them all out.The insurance wae small.: Orleans County presents a very able candidate for the United States senate in Hon.Charles A.Prouty of Newport.The only complaint or criticism offered thus far is that he is non-par- tisan.All admit that he is an able, clean man, splendidly equipped for the position, in fact, he is the man the state ought to have in the senate when tbe old ship of state is wabbling more or less and possibly uncertain of her harbor; he would be a good pilot in the present etress.He fails te shout his party afliations from the housetops, while on the other hand he does state, in understandable English, his position on all publio questions.He is a ciean-out man, who has always done things in a broad- gauge way; an honor to his state from his college days to the present.The fact that he is willing to give up his present position and salary to acoept the senatorship is a fuil answer to hie oritics; he wishes to serve his state, to give her his best years.It ie Vermont's opportunity.VERMONT ITEMS.A raiding squad from Barre police headquarters made a heavy haul of alleged contraband goods when they visited the house of Angelo Tomasini, at Barre and surprised a group of three men who sat around a table drinking.While the search was in progress, the tenant of the house was arrdated on a charge of selling liquor illegally.A search of the premises disclosed a barrel of bottled beer, a barrel of draught beer, only recently tapped, several bottles of beer, and flagons of whiskey.The committee of arrangements for the annual meeting of the Vermont State Teachers\u2019 Association in St.Jobnsbury in October has the program for that occasion well under way.Among the attractions already engaged are the Ben Great players who are to give \u2018As You Like It,\u201d Thursday evening convention week.Among the speakers will be Mrs.Josephine Preston Peabody Mark, who won the Stratford memorial literary prize of $410,000; Dr.David Snedden, Massachusetts state commissioner of education; Doctor Hillegas, of Columbia, and Doctor Learned, of Harvard, the Carnegie foundation experts whose investigation of Vermont\u2019s educational system under the direction of the state cqmmiesion, has attracted such widespread discussion.À whole ses- sionof the convention will be given over to these speakers and the discussion of the educational report, and it is eafe to predict that it will be a lively part of the program.Humane WorX of Former Vermonters.Toa New England man and woman humanity must acknowledge credit for exposing barbarous treatment ot the natives of St.Pauls Island, Alaska by the same officials sent by the United States government to protect them.As a result four departments of the national government are codperating forever to free these simple folks from the atrocities which have been their lots ever since the Russians discovered the fortunes to be made there in seal hunting, a century and a quarter ago.; Four higb officiais have been removed and two have been arrested, charged with a long liet of crimes.The department of justice has been given the task of punishing the simple people.Alvin C.Whitney is the son of George Whitney, of Groton, and a graduate of Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H.His bride is a graduate of the Dartmouth summer school.In August, 1912, after completing a course in the Yale School of Forestry Mr.Whitney was offered the position of teaching at St.Paul's Island by Chief Barton W.Everman of the bureau ot fisheries, provided he married.Accordingly his aweetbeart, Mise Gibson, joined him in Washington and they were married in the People\u2019s church just in time to make the trip to the Alaskan island.The couple who, single handed, accomplished all this are Alvin C.Whitney, of Groton, and his bride of two years, who was Jessie J.Gibson, of Burlington.They were employed expressly by the government to teach | the children and provide entertainments during the long winter season for the grown folk.Opportuuity for Farm Boys.The state fair commission and the Vermont agricultural extension service are coôperating in holding a fair for farm boys at the state fair, White River Juuction, September 15 to 18, inclusive.The camp will be in charge of competent leaders from the extension service, who will guide the welfare of the boys and dally guide them through the various exhibits, giving them competent instruction covering the good and bad points of the exhibits.Mild military discipline will be used in carrying out the daily program.All expenses of the boys for the entire week will be paid, including car fare from the nearest railroad station.In return for this the boys will be expected to render slight services to the tair authorities.It ie planned to have 24 farm boys in the camp; one from each Pomona Grange district.The master of the Pomona Grange will be responsible for the selection of the boy from his district, who muet meet the following regulations: 1, must live on à farm; %, must have passed his fourteenth birthday anniversary and not yet reached his eighteenth; 3, must be of good moral character; 4, must be willing to submit to and obey the rules of the camp.Fat Mon Enjoying Quting.The Montreal Gazette of

government at 4 per cent interest out of moneys deposited in the postal savings banks is posed in a bill just introduced in the House by Congresaman Edward Keat- ing of Colorado.The bill proposes to remove ali limitations on the amounts which may be deposited in postal savings banks, and that such money, instead of being turned over to private banking interests, shall hereafter be oovered into the treasurer by use in making loans to farmers.The establishment of a \u201cfarm loan bureau\u2019 in the treasury department, in charge of a commissioner, appointed by the President, who, with the secretary of the treasury and the secretary of agriculture, are to constitute the board of supervision of the farm loan borean, is contemplated by the bill.This board is to provide the necessary rules and regulations to carry out the purpose of the act, which is \u2018to loan money direct to farmers upon the security of firat| mortgages through the agency of the postal savings banks.\u201d Only persons actually engaged in the business of tilling the soil and raising farm products are entitled to borrow money under the bill.The term of every loan extending for more than five years are required to contain a provision for its amortization of reduction by annual payments of one per cent of the principal, but the whole or any portion of the loan in multiples of 8100 may be paid at any time.LAND AS SECURITY.No loan ie torun for longer than thirty years, according to this proposed legislation, and no loan is to be the value of the land offered as security, or for 40 per cent of the valne of the improvements attached to the land.Whenever the improvements are offered as part of the security, the destructible property must be insured by the borrower to the satisfaction of the bureau.Loane can be made only for the following purposes: (1) To aid in increasing production of the land, (2) to make useful improvements upon the land to be mortgaged: (3) to make payment of part of the purchase money of the land mortgaged, or to pay off an indebtedness already existing against the land.It is provided, however, that 25 per cent of the loan may be used for the purpose of purchasing stock and farm necessities.No loan under thie bill could be larger than 812,000, and none is to be made for less than $500, \u201cand loans upon single mortgages for less than $5,000 shall receive the preference.\u201d This ie to give the man who most needs the money the preferential right to borrow.UTILIZING THE POSTAL SERVICE.Postmasters and other officials of the government may be called upon, without additional compensation, to furnish information to the bureau as to the character and valne of lands offered as security for loans and the board of control may make the usual provisions for carefully appraising the land on the ground before loans are male.United States district attorneys, are required by the bill to prosecute foreclosure proceedings where loans are foreclosed.Another unique feature of the bill is the provision that in making payments, either of interest or principal, \u2018the person making such payments may pay the same to the postmaster designated by sald comgpissioner of the bureau of farm loans, and such postmaster shall immediately notity the burean of euch payment, and the transmission of the money so paid.\u201d The boreau bas the right to sue and be sued, and lands obtained by the bureau under foreclosure proceedings may be disposed of at sale by it.AN ENCONOMICAL SYSTEM.The bill carries an appropriation of $100,000 to start the machinery.As it seeks to utilize all the existing machinery of the government, the cost of operating the bureau would evidently be very small.Of course the amount of money now in the postal savings system would not meet a traction of the demand for farm lands, but the postmaster general has stated that the removal of the limitation on deposits would result in doubling the amount on deposit almost immediately.That the amount so deposited in the government banks would enormously inorease is evident.This bill really proposes to allôw the people of the country to lend themselves money.Postal savings constitute the savings of the workers and the small farmers.If this money could be utilized to finance farmers in the work of supplying the food that the country needs, without the interposition of the private banker, with his rake-off of private profits, everybody oise in the country would be the gaiîner.area re the unique plan for rural oredite pro- raté made for more than

the campaign just closed no one attempted to uphold booze as a blessing to mankind.Mr.Haverson, counsel for the Ontario Licensed Victualers Association, who was brought here to speak, went farther than any of his associates when be said \u2018\u2018Surely there can be no harm in the moderate use of liquor.\u201d \u2018Most men acknowledged booze to be an unmitigated evil.The only difference of opinion, on the surface at least, was as to the best means of controlling the evil.At one time one of the foremost advocates of the license system said no man was willing to make greater personal sacrifice in the interest of temperance than he His claim was that more booze would be sold under no-license than is now being sold under license.All through the campaign license advocates claimed to be seriously concerned with the matter of law enforcement, and worried over the possibility of \u201cblind pigs,\u201d etc.It is vow \u2018\u2018ap to\u201d these people to prove the sincerity of their claims; if they were in earnest they will now do everything in their power tostamp out any illegal traffic in the \u2018\u2018poisonous beverages\u2019 about which they have said so much.If they should support the \u201cblind piggers\u201d they would show themselves to be not only poor citizens, but \u2018hypocrites of the worst order.Every patriotic citizen of Stanstead county will do his share to uphold a law, the enforcement of which will bring untold blessings to hundreds of homes and greater prosperity to all of the people.ADVANTAGES OF A GOOD NAME.Stanstead county is now receiving some valuable free advertising.Newspapers in two countries are at present commenting on the fact that the saloon has been outlawed here, and are saying complimentary things about the people who did it.Had the county voted \u2018\u2018wet\u201d the advertising would have been of an aitogether different sort.Ever since we can remember, Rock Island has been slandered far and near on account of iig- wor selling here.When the people got to thinking the matter over seriously and asking themselves what the \u2018village was getting in return for a bad mame, they voted out the booze.That dry majority of 81 gave this village a big lift in the estimation of other people who have learned to think right.Now they are \u2018throwing bouquets\u2019 at the \u2018\u2018patriotio, intelligent, right-thinking citizens of Rock Island.\u201d Who does not like the new rôle?If the county had gone \u2018\u2018wet\u201d we would have been Haine advertising of an altogether different sort.BEYOND BRIBERY.During the latter part of the campaign in this county there were oo- casional rumors of disaffection iff\" the ranks of the liquor purty.It was sald that there was friction between local men and those sent from Ontario as organizers.No-license workers, however, paid little or no heed to these reports, but later events give some color to them; it would also appear that there was jealousy over money matters.This was reflected Friday, after election, when a Coaticook man, who had been prominent throughout among liquor supporters, made the statement that, A all the money at their disposal, he could have reversed the majority if given the handling of the campaign.The claim is valuable only as showing the confidence some men have in themselves.\u2018The electors of Stanstead have shown themselves to be above bribery when a great moral principle is at stake.A hundred thousand dollars more would not have reversed the majority.HEALTH PAST FIFTY Careful diet is of utmost importance to men and women past fifty years of age; i keeps up their strength, and the oil ood in Scott's Emulsion is a nourishing food, a curative medicine and a sustaining tonic to regulate the functions.It contains the medicinal fats of pure cod liver oil and scieuce proves that they furnish twice as much energy as other foods\u2014then too, it creates pure blood, sliarpens the appetite, relieves rheumatism, strengthens the body and alleviates the ailments due to declining years.Scott's is free from wines, alcobol or harmful drugs.Beware of substitutes, ps 2x gs an, ne PROVINCIAL PROHIBITION?The Stanstead county viotory may be far-reaching in ita effect.The fight in this county was watched with intense interest by temperance people in various parts of this Province and elsewhere.By both sides this was regarded as a strategic point.The lig- uor party, realizing that ite very existence was threatened, concentrated its resources here, but met crushing defeat.No-License forces in adjoining counties began immediately to talk of launching campaigns for the suppression of the liquor traffic.But, perhaps ,the most striking feature of the campaign ie its effect upon the organized temperance forces of the Province.Yesterday the JOURNAL received, from a reliable source, information to the effeot that plans are now being made in Montreal for a three years\u2019 campaign for Provincial Prohibition.That would be a fight worth having.There will be no peace for the liquor interesta from now on.The liquor dealers in this end of the oounty, who n few weeks ago, were objecting to \u2018patchwork\u2019 prohibition and saying that they would be willing to contribute a thousand dollars each it they could only be assured of an effective law covering the entire Province may yet have a chance to prove their sincerity.GIVE US MEN.Many men who are in the habit of \u201ctaking an occasional glass\u201d have given their support to the no-license campaign with the best of intentions.Upon these men, more than upon any other class, depends the success or failure of no-license.They have the power to make or break the law.! Attempts at \u201csly selling\u201d and law evasion are sure to be made, and if these men, many of whom are good citizens in most ways, countenance or encourage illicit liquor selling the fight will indeed be hard.Stanstead county wants patriote\u2014men of qual- ity\u2014men who are willing to stand for what ie right for the sake of those less fortunate than themselves.After May 1st, 1915, no place where the poor man ie robbed of the just rewards of his labor should be allowed to exist It helpless women and children are to be protected, if legitimate business of all kinds is to be fostered, there muet be no \u201cblind pigs.\u201d All the higher interests of Stanstead county demand that every man shall do bis duty.CAMPAIGN ECHOES.We wonder if everybody noticed that Rock Island\u2019s \u2018dry\u2019! majority wae beaten by only two places in the county, and in one of these\u2014Smith\u2019s Miils\u2014by only one vote?Give Rock Island another chance and the boundary village will beat even Massawippi.Nine votes transferred from the \u2018\u2018wet\u201d to the \u2018'dry\u201d column would bave done it this time.Proportionately, however, Massawippi would bave still led.But considered proportionately Ayer*s Oliff is the banner community of the county.There, out of a total of 80 votes, only 4 were wet\u2014and in the old days Ayer\u2019s Cliff was called a \u201crum hole.\u201d Other communities which ranked high in the no-license column are: Maneur Schoolhouse, which includes a large farming district, Reed\u2019s Crossing, Way\u2019s Mills, Fitch Bay, Barnston, Dixville, Boyn- ton, North Hatley, Beebe, South Barnston, village of Hatley, George- ville and Marlington.But for a license cSmmunity, and a long-time license community at that, Rock Island certainly made °the best showing of all.The only other license community which voted \u2018\u2018dry\u201d was Begbe, but Beebe\u2019s dry majority was much smaller than Rock Island\u2019, and Beebe has been \u2018\u2018wet\u201d only a few months; furthermore the tactics by which Beebe got into the \u201cwet\u201d column were not altogether creditable, to eay the least.Throughout the long contest there the solid sentiment of the better class of citizens, if not an actual majority of the ratepayers, was against license.CITY PEOPLE AT GEORGEVILLE, At one stage of the campaign no-li- cense workers were considerably worried about Georgeville.The JOURNAL was anxious to know why, and was told that certain city people who own summer homes there, and are in the habit of procuring liquors from Magog for their tables, were using their influence to defeat the temperance cause.If that bs so, they are different from other city people summering in this section.One of the larger contributors to the no-license funds was a New York gentleman who spends his summers in this section, apd many other city people gave whole-souled support to the cause.City people of means who support the license system to save themselves &] Nttle personal in convenience must have a very narrow outlook in life.They should be able to learn a lesson from the South, where every man of any standing is à no-license man, not altogether on his own account, but largely on account of poor unfortunates who abuse the use of liquor, neglect their families and create disorder.For the well-being of thiv clase and for the better protection of so- clety generally all good citizens should be willing to undergo a little inoon- venience; in fact no man has a right to neglecs this duty ot citizenship.Va NR ang if: bo Gee le ec VERMONT PAPER'S OPINION.A pew and striking thing has taken place in Stanstead county, P.Q., bordering Orleans county on the north.On Thursday the county voted \u201cdry\u201d and the Canada Temperance Act will go into effect next spring.This is a notable temperance victory for our Canadian neighbors and especially is it a victory for the Stanstead Journal.Brother Holland bas fonght long and hard fot the cause and with telling force.The Journal has seemingly bent every ounce of energy for this righteous cause and the Monitor trusts the paper will be given proper oredit and be duly rewarded.* * * This act of Stanstead county will be appre- clated by the friends of temperance in Orleans connty and \u2018\u2019Rook Island\u201d will after May 1, 1915, be a less famous place for our booze artists to visit.Three choers for Stanstead county, the Journal and Jobn Holland.\u2014Or- leans County Monitor.CITISENS NO-LIOENSB LEAGUE OF LYNN.Headquarters, Room 207, Item Building.Lynn, Mase., Aug.11, 1914.Editor Stanstead Journal.Dear Sir, \u2014Please accept my hearty congratolations for the success of the No-License campaign in your county, and allow me also to express my ein- oere admiration for the exoellent manner in which the JOURNAL presented its arguments to the public.I hope you will be, able to show the people that tbe only way to regulate the saloon is to shut it up.There ie no doubt that if the public will sustain the authorities in their efforts to enforce the law, it can be enforéed.That is our experience in this city of nearly one hundred thousand inhabitants, made up many races, religions and nationalities; speaking many languages.Sincerely, Citizens No-License League, FREEMAN H, NEWHALL, Secretary.Orleans, Vt., Aug.15 1914.Dear Mr.Holland: Allow me to congratulate you on your handsome victory in prohibiting the sale of that cursed whiskey in Stan- stead county.The honest, upright, thinking people of your county should give you much credit for the way yon worked for the cause.* * * I trust you will be rewarded for your good work.Very truly yours, A Father whose Son is Ruined through the Drink Demon.TO WHOM 1S THE HONOR DUE?While a certain measure of credit may be due to those who stood the brunt of the no-license battle, to the vallant few who at all times upheld the cause, even in the face of threatened anni- bilation, the hopor of the conquest belongs to no one person, nor even to a few individuals, however hard they may have worked.The victory was won by the patriotic citizens of Stan- stead county who turned deaf ears to the \u201cmoney argument,\u201d who refused to be influenced by threats or intimidation, but who went to the polle and did their duty like Britons.To them |! is the honor due.GOOD SAMARITAN LÉAGUE.Dear Editor, \u2014 Words fail to express our appreciation of the grand work done by our campaign leaders, and we especially honor the temperance workers of Magog and Coaticook, who have fought with untiring zeal against heavy odds.And now will not the women of the county take up the gentler task of lightening the burden which is the daily lot of some of qur sisters through the use of alcohol by some member of the family.We know women of fine spirit and fine character who are struggling to maintain their independence and protect their home life.Let us become a \u2018Good Samaritan League,\u201d with the purpose to bring sunshine and solace into the lives of these sad and wounded ones who have \u2018fallen among thieves.\u201d Who so wounded as the drunkard\u2019s wife and child, unless indeed it be the drunkard himself?A READER.A BIG FIGHT NOW.The subject most universally discussed, sside from the weather, is that of prohibition.Inthe newspaper world it ie no longer the country weekly and the small city daily, but the great metropolitan paper as well.In the smoking compartments of Pullman cars, pro and con, at week-end parties, on the porch, in the family circle, business men at their desks, everywhere, prohibition of the.liquar traffic is the livest question up for general discussion before tho American public.The magazines, too, are devoting much space to the discussion.Story writers are teaching the lesson of the value of abstinence and the worthlessness of the man who drinks.\u2018It is no longer the lonesome fight of the preachers and thejextremist; oon- servative common sense and conse- orated patriotism have also taken up the cudgel against the business of legalising the selling of destruction.\u2014 Alabama Citizen.Cutting Loose from License.Discussing the hotel question, a traveling man who bappenen to be hers on election day, said that in some of the larger Ontario towns which still remain wet, some of the better-class hotels are voluntarily severing their connection with license and booze in order to attract a better class of patrons.In this connection he mentioned the Oriental at Peter- boro, the Welland at 8t.Oatherinee and the Beaumaris, in the Muskoka Lakes region.The largest hotel in that section, he said, had \u2018\u2018gone to the dogs,\u201d Because of the laxity of ite management and the inflax of the \u201csporty class\u201d from Toronto.DUSTIN\u2014In Hatley, Aug.10, 1914, a son to Mr.and Mre.G.A.Dustin, Maple Heighta Farm.Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.Deafness is ca by an in- fismed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely cl , deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor mai condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;

when he got to, the Lindsey farm thought he would stop and look over old scenes where he had not been for years.There he wandered: around until he became too fatigued to walk; being very feeble and crippled with rhumatism he lay down exhausted.When night came on enquiry was made and as he had not appeared a search was kept up till eleven o\u2019clock when he was found in a fleld on the Lindsay farm.He seemed very glad to see his friends.: Mr.and Mrs.O.8.Copp of West Derby spent inst week at Mr.J.E.Davidson's and calling on old friends.Miss Mable King of Montreal is spending the week with her mother, Mrs.(Dr.) King.Mra.Herbert LeBaron, North Hat- ley, is the gnest of Mra.J.Sampson.Mrs, Wright of Brattleboro is visiting at the home of her brother, Mr.A.Bryant.Capt.and Mrs.Sampson entertained a party of friends from North Hatley over Sunday.Mr.J.D.Clark left Monday for Quebec as a delegate trom Elephantis Lodge, I.0.O.F., to the Grand Lodge.We were sorry to hear of the sudden illness of Miss Gunn of Griffin, & former resident of this place, who was stricken with paralysis last Thareday and is in à critical condition, .having no use of one side.We extend eym- pathy.MOZART (LADIES) QUARTET.The audience which greeted the Mozart (Ladies) Quartet at the Has- kell Opera House, Friday evening was too small for the excellent program, those present were privileged to enjoy.The musical numbers of the program were equal in every way to those of last winter, and the comedy sketch, \u2018\u2018Aunt Bridget from Paris,\u201d excelled the one given by the ladies on their previous visit.The quartet spent Sunday here, singing at Centenary Methodist Church in the morning, at \u201cKittemaug\u2019\u2019 in the afternoon, and giving an exquisite program at the Opera House in the evening.This was \u2018The Shepherd Psalm,\u201d an arrangement of Mre.Tenney\u2019s.Rev.T.A.Halpenny gave the scripture reading and prayer.There was a large and appreciative audience.The 23rd psalm was the foundation of the service, which was one of enjoyable uplift.Mrs.Tenny\u2019s reading of the paraphrase on the psalm was a strong and beautiful sermon, and the singing at different intervals, of \u2018God is a spirit,\u201d from \u201cThe woman of Samaria,\u2019 S8chu-\u2019 bert, \u201cThe Lord is my Shepherd,\u2019 \u201cCome Unto Me,\u201d the trio \u201cThe Angels,\u201d from \u201cElijah,\u201d \u201cHe shall feed his flocks\u201d and \u201cCome unto me\u201d from \u201cMessiah,\u201d and \u2018\u2018O rest in the Lord\u201d from \u2018Elijah,\u201d together with the quartet work, made the evening's pralee very rare and sweet.' QUESTIONED, BUT TRUE.Under the heading of \u201cA True Tale\u201d in the JOURNAL of August 6th, a correspondent signing \u2018Reader\u2019 told of a promieing young clergyman in Lowell, Mass., who was found intoxicated in the parsonage by a delegation sent from his charch to ascertain why the young preacher had failed to appear at the morning service.August 1ith, Lysle Streeter, a young man from Lowell, called at the JOURNAL office and seriously questioned the truth of the statement, saying he had seen no report of such an incident in the Lowell papers.Two days later Mrs.Rufus Gardyne of Fitch Bay came in to ascertain the name of the writer of the tale, and said she was in the church at the time of the unfortn- pate occurrence, which was many years ago.Mrs Gardyne thought that \u201cReader\u201d might have been an early acquaintance of hers.The object of publishing the tale was to show bow a talented young man, starting out with the best intentions, had been wrecked by whiskey.THERE'S MONEY OUT OF ITI The Pittsburg Post calls attention to the fact that some of our first authors have quit drinking and seem to be making big money telling how they did it.- This seems to refer, among others.to Samuel G.Blythe, Will Levington Comfort, and Jack London, all of whom have renounced John Barley- cornin printand at some length daring the past year.But any plain citizen can profit by doing so.There's no money in booze unless you sell it, and that\u2019s getting more uncertain every day.Quit and get ahead (not a head) some other way!~Collier\u2019s.FLAG RAISING.As the flag pole whith has served as a lapdmark on Dufferin Heights for many years blew down in the severe storm a short time ago, it is proposed to erect a new one and make of the occasion a gathering of friends and a celebration and remembrance of the old pioneers of the neighborhood.All who feel an interest in such an ocoasion are cordially: invited to be present from three to five p.M.O Saturday, Aug.38nd.RE !

now we are beginning to understand Aristotle\u2019s dictam to Alexander the Great: \u2018The enemies of an army are in its own camp.\u201d The idea that humanity is one and that we cannot injure another without injuring ourself is finding lodgement in the heart of the race.Well has it been said: \u201cThere is no devil but fear.\u201d Also, welldid the old Quaker eay to his son, \u2018Hezekiah, thee will never see a worse devil than when thee looks in a mirror.\u201d THE DIGNITY OF POWER.There is something heroic about having 60 horse power at your finger tips, or reached by the pressure of the foot, and yet never using this power to the limit.About it there is a quality that makes you proud and gives a dignity which men without power never possess.16 so happens that the running of an automobile with this tremendous power within your reach tends to give a sort of freedom from all little perplexing cares.> Il a teameter blocks the way unnecessarily you do not roar at him; but, it possible, you catch his eye, smile, wave your hand, and be gets the idea and partakes of this spirit and responds.The automobile clubs all over the country undoubtedly have done much to make peace between the man who hasn\u2019t an automobile and the one who has.For a while we had a beautiful contempt for the man with a machine, and we spoke of the Red Devil, having the chauffeur and owner quite as much in mind as the machine.No decent chauffeur now will run over chickens, dogs, ducks or geese, if he can help it.He keeps his machine well in hand when passing by houses where animals or persons may appear.He is considerate for the feelings of others.There used to be an old maxim running thus: \u201cIf I cando a kind act or say a kind word, let me say it now, for I may not pass this way again.\u201d \u2018THIS WAY AGAIN.\u201d The autoist, however, realizes that he will pass this way again; also hundreds and thousands of other aatoists will pass this way again, and his endeavor is to leave a kindly remembrance behind rather than one of wrath or indifference.It ie a somewhat curious fact anybody that has been insulted by a reckless automobilist scorching the pavement in his immediate vicinity will feel a spirit of resentment and illwill, even for a little time, toward the whole tribe of men who own buss buggies.This being true, every good autoist now endeavors to pass out good will, courtesy, kindness, as he goes, knowing that he probably will be back \u201cthis way again,\u2019 and that everything, he gives out returns to him.Thus do we get, in a degree, a glimpse of the brotherhood of man.A man\u2019s enemies are in his own heart.His enemies are his limitatione\u2014his impatience, his hot hacte, bis desire to get even, bis fear of being injured or defranded.As I rode through the country I noticed at a sharp turn in the road, or on a high hill, there are signs up\u2014 \u201cThank you,\u201d or \u2018Be considerate, you are approaching a village.\u201d Then I saw one with this \u201cGood Boy\u2014Shake!\u201d The man who devised those short, sharp, epigrammatio slogans and then printed them on boards and nailed these up on trees, telegraph poles and fences, was certainly a benefactor of his kind.All through thas particular district we sort of felt kindly toward everybody and waved our hands in greeting at passing machines and people in their houses.The good will that somebody had given oat was caught by our wireless and passed along.\u2014New York Ameri- can.\u2014\u2014 \u2014 Sm came \u2014 SPAN OF LIFE MUCH LONGER Solence Has Added 16 Yeara, Says Dr.Victor Vaugha\u2014Future to Class Us 9 Barbarians.Atlantic City, N.J\u2014At the first ges eral session of the convention of the American Medical association Dr.Vie tor C.Vaughn was installed as president, succeeding Dr.John A.Withee spoon of Nashwille, Tenn.Doctor Vaughn made \u201cThe i of Medicine to Civilisation\u201d the s 0 inau 00 human lite ha n increased by 15 years, and this increase could be duplicated in the next 20 years,\u201d he said, \u201cif the facts we now possess were ef tectively employed.\u2019 : * \u201cThe further developments of medi cine, both curative and preventive, de pend on scientific investigations.The public is the beneficiary and should in every way encourage medical research.The federal government and the states should sustain and promote scientific research.\u201cWe boast of a great civilization, but this is justified only within mits.The historian of the future will have no difficulty in convincing his readers-that those who lived at the beginning of the twentieth century were but slightly removed from barbarism, as he will tell that the school, saloon and vice re sorts flourished in close proximity;

Writer's Testimony to the Sincerity With Which Charles Dickens Did His Work.There is another feature of Dickens\u2019 character which cannot be too often or too seriously insisted upon\u2014and that is his intense earnestness and thor oughness in everything he did.He said to me more than once: \u201cMy dear boy, do everything at your best.If you do that neither I nor any one else can find fault with you, even if you fall; for myself I can honestly say that I have taken as great pains with the smallest thing I ever did as with the biggest.\u201d In giving advice to a young author, he sald on one occasion: \u201cIf you want your public to believe in what you write you must believe in it yourself.When I am describing a scene I can as distinctly see what I am describing as I can see you now.So real are my characters to me that on one occasion I had fixed upon the course which one of them was to pursue.The character, however, got hold of me and made me do exactly the opposite to what I had intended; but I was so sure that he was right and 1 was wrong that I let him have his own way.\u201d Whatever he did, either in work or at play, he always gave of his very best.He hated

breakfast, it is easy, without attracting special at- \u2018| tention, to take it at a friend's house no matter how much more is served.If a noon dinner is provided instead of your usual light lunch,

excursions at periods of migrating, the gopher passes practically its entire life in its burrows.Indeed, it is a rare occur rence to find one abroad on any errand.They appear to live solitary, each Individual her apparently bent on having the World to himself, and each digging and- taking care of his own dwelling.Doubtless where flelds are so badly infested that tunnels cross and recross, more than one gopher may be trapped in the same runway.The female produces but one litter of young per year, yet because of her sheltered life raises enough of them that the species is constantly increasing.The natural food of the gopher consists of succulent roots and such green vegetation as can be dragged from the surface into the burrow.The coming of alfalfa, with its deep-growing suo- Pocket Gopher.culent roots, has largely solved the question of food supply for this animal by providing it with an abundance easily accessible both in winter and in summer.Truly the conditions of the alfalfa fleld are such as to render life easy for the gopher tribe.Not only does the ani injure alfalfa by actual consumption of the roots, but by covering up a considerable portion (sometimes 20 per cent) of the area badly infested, and by rendering the crop in fields so infested dificult to harvest.Of the many methods of combating these animals, poisoning has been found at once the quickest and most efficient.This is done by putting carbon bisulphid into the bur row and closing the burrow at once.The fluid may be poured into the bur row directly from the bottle (an ounce of the liquid) or preferably a wad of cotton saturated and rolled into the hole, and the opening closed im mediately.PROPER TIME TO CUT GRASS Haste Makes Waste When Grop le Hurried to Barn Net Fully Cured \u2014Hurrying Dossn\u2019t Pay.As to the best time for cutting grass, it does not pay to be in to much of a hurry.When the grass is young and tender and seemingly suc culent in the fresh state, it is harder to cure, dries and shrinks more and has not nearly the food value of the more mature crop.While the opposite extreme should be avoided, cutting before the seed is so ripe as to scatter, there is much ore nourishment in the matured stalk; and one farmer who was com: plimented for bringing his cattle through the wiater on & minimum amount of grain And yet késping them in good flesh attributes his success largely to this fact.Hagte makes waste when the crop is hurried to the barn not fully cured.Hay cut green requires more thorough drying than that almost overripe.If the season is a wet one hay can be mown and taken in the same day when a pleasant day comes, even without a tedder, if matured Litter Plan of Feeding.The deep litter plan of feeding grain, especially for morning, gives splendid results.If the ration is scattered through the litter in the scratching pen, after fowls have gone to roost, it will be ready for them in the morning, giving them both feed and exercise, and save cote od morning work for vos Py known me.\u201d Isa.°38 RV.Bible of certain men that God 18 not fn all their: thoughts, which might be inter preted, God is not in any of their thoughts.Mult} tudes do not think.upon God, act as if there were no God, and are practical ly atheists, While.men do not theo retically deny the existence of God, in tact, they do so him.In an editorial in le disaster was to be attributed to \u201ccriminal stupidity and obeti- nacy.\u201d Commendation was also given to another minister, who said that the disaster was an-\u201cevidence of the shal-: low fashion in whieh men accept social responsibility\u201d In connection with these commendations this was sald: \u201cIt used to be .the fashion to blame God for such disasters, or at least to speak of them as mysterious dispensations of his providence.We have outgrown that cowardly and unintelligent viewpoint.\u201d The question arises in connection with this editorial, Was God asleep when the club house burned, or was he so far away that he could not get information of the event?Such questions seem ridiculous, even blasphemous, for God was awake and everywhere immanent.Granting that as to human responsibility the remarks of both the ministers referred to were correct, does that rule God out?God may work through men or events for the accomplishment of his mysterious providence, as he may work without them.How could the destruction of Pompeil and Herculaneum, of St.Pierre, of Galveston, or of San Francisco be connected with criminal stupidity and obstinacy?As far as men can 866, man could have nothing to do with those occurrences, and yet they were disasters greater than that in St Louis Had God anything to do with them?How God 1s in such events we are not able to explain, and ep short-sighted are we in the tace of disaster that cannot be charged to human stupidity and obstinacy that all we can do is to acknowledge that we cannot under stand, and to say, \u201cFor so it seemed good ii thy sight to be noticed.God claims to be Lord, in the words, \u201cI am Jehovah and there is none else.\u201d That is to say, \u201cIn all the great universe, I am the supreme God, I created the universe, I made the laws to control it and nothing transpires within it without my knowl- sdge.\u201d before him, as the great walls of Bad- ylon, presumably impregnable, were no barrier to his entrance into the city, doubtless Cyrus would be tempted to think of himself as a great world conqueror, in the sty%e of ancient days, although we do not have record to that effect.God had a great work for Cyrus to do, and, to impress this upon him, tells him that the strength that he would show in his military success was simply God's strength.In mod- orn times great political, social and military movements are made, and those making them largely ignore God, but God is in all of them.God was moving in the Russo-Japanese war, in the Chinese revolution, in the war in the Balkan states, and he is now mov- Ing in Great Britain in connection with the Irish question, and in Mexico in connection with the civil war.In all the great movements of modern times, In the great inventions, and all accomplishments of men that are the wonder of an onlooking world, God is moving The charge of God against Cyrus was that as yet he was not recognis ing God.That is precisely what we believe that editorial failed to do in connection with the St.Louis disaster.God was not ignorant of that disaster, oor of the burning of the steamer Slocum, nor of the sinking of the Titanic, although in connection with all these ovints man was criminally stupid and obstinate.As the president of the United Btates is watchfully waitipg the issue of the struggle in Mexico, so ought man to watchfully wait as he sees God working in the world.Shake speare was not wrong when he maid: \u201cThere is a divinity that shapes our sods, rough hew them how we may.\u201d PP

Good luck to you, comrade.I may never live to leave these prison walls, and, in fact, do not deserve it; but, belleve me, while I am alive I will do my share toward putting an end to the curse.The affair has about it a deep pathos that ought to touch the hearts of all who are infitenced by feelings of common humanity.The action of the prisoners bears out a statement recently published in The Saturday Evening Post by Al.J.Jennings, in which he tells something of bis penitentiary experience in the following terms: A .Part of my duty was to interro- fate incoming prisoners concern- ng their private lives and enter the answers on the proper blanke.Then and there I had light on prison statistics.One of the questions ran: \u201cTo what do you attribute your downfall?\u201d In nine cases out of ten the experienced prisoner answered \u2018\u2018Drink.\u201d Here is in full the petition signed by the prisoners in the Pennsylvania penitentiary: \u2018 Your petitioners, representing the major portion of the inmates of the Eastern State Penitentiary of Pennsylvania, respectfully aver: - That they believe fully 70 per cent.of crime within the State is directly attributable to the excessive use of intoxicating.liquors; and That, believing it the eale of intoxicating liquors was probibit- ed by the enactment of laws by your honorable body, the effect would be to reduce crime at least 50 per cent., if not more, they therefore Respectfully pray that you will tavorably consider the introduction of any measure baving for its object the curtailment of the sale of intoxicating liquors, and use the great power with which you are clothed to obtain the passage of an act to prohibit the sale of such intoxicatin liquor anywhere within the bounds of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania.We further Bry that you will ve due consideration to this pe- tion, coming to you as a voluntary d bod eed of & of earnest men and women, acting entirely on their own ipitiative, without suggestion from others.tu right snd youll pass TT pe ed men was killed by an automobile last year.If you'll go along about a Infle, you'll come to where Mr.Jones lived before \u201cTe fils 3 2 if {13 [is Jsaëras- -~ within a mdius of from four to miles.In many ties having modious buildings have been provided, mere competent teachers have been employed, and modern facilities for teaching have been supplied at a mini mum cost For instance, since the improvement of the main highways tn Durham county, North Carolina, the nunfber of school houses has been reduced from 65 to 43, of which 17 are graded and have two oF more rooms, and employ two or more teach- ors, : There are at the present time about \u201c8/000 consolidated rural schools in the United States.It appears that Massachusetts, Ohio and Indiana have made the greatest progress along these lines, and it is rather: significant to note that in these states about one- third of the roads have been improved.According to statistics of the agricul tural department, there was expended fn 1899, $22,116 in Massgthusetts for the conveyance of pupils to donsoll- dated schools, but in 190$ the expenditure for this purpose amounted to $203,218.in Indiana, the expenditure for this purpose in 1904 amounted to 886,000, while in 1008, $200,000 was expended.This expenditure for transportation reflects, in a general wey, the extent and progress of this new educational movement.It must not be understood that this is an additional burden, as the expenditure thus made is saved in other directions\u2014that is, by the decrease in the number of Sohools and economy in their opers a .FEW PRACTICAL FARM NOTES Orchardist Who Mes Sprayed His Trece Can Send Clean Fruit to Market\u2014Cutting Hay Crop.Don't try to do all the farm work today and tomorrow.There are more days coming.Save strength for the tussle that is doming by and by.The fruit crop is likely to be short this year and the man who has sprayed his trees and can send clean fruit to market will reap his reward.The man who makes a good seed bed and then puts any old seed into it that comes along is like the man who tried to lift himself by the boot straps.The farmer who keeps taking fer tility from the soil without putting anything back, will soon put his farm in such condition that it will not raise even a mortgage.When you can get a fair \u2018price for your wool let it go.It does not pay to hold wool over a year on the chance of getting a better market, when you consider interest and loss of the use of money.This applies to most other farm crops.There is such a thing as being too economical in cutting your hay crop.1 have seen meadows badly injured by setting the machine so that it will cut too low.This is especially true where we have a long spell of hot, dry weather after haying.The grass roots are seriously injured by too close mowing.Better leave an inch or two mor® on the stalk and save your meadows.PROTECTION FOR THE TREES Wire Screen, Formed Around Trunk With Ende Fastened, Wii!
