annual meeting at the home of Mrs.O.O: Wells, Wednesday afternoon.The summer\u2019s collection which was reported amounted to about twenty dollars.The attendance was good and sthere was much interest in the plans for the fall and winter.The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs.W.H.Hovey, Wednesday, November 17th.Much is being done in the way of \u201cscientific town planning\u201d ail over the country.There are two periodi- cale in Canada which deal especially with this subject and it is impossible to look at either witbout seeing the advance of some community along this line.In view of this fact it isa pity to keep on despoiling a place which has so many natural attrac: tions ae this community.The need of some sort of regulation, inspection and control of building operations has been many times demonstrated.Building toa community plan or building in harmony with surroundings does not of necessity mean building expensively; a building need not be positively ugly because not costly.It is quite possible that if a board of some sort were to be appointed to control building to a certain extent even those who might wish to build cheaply would welcome advice, if it be given in the right way.Sometimes buildings are placed too near a street, through a mistaken idea, when in reality they would not only look better but be more convenient if set back the proper distance.The distance should be nearly the same in all cases and buildings should be placed at the same angle; the necessity for this increases the closer buildings are to one another.The work of the ploneers who made their homes in the wilderness was much less slip-shod than that of some of their descendants.TOWN TOPICS.Speaking at Stanstead today Sir Lorimer Gouin sald he regarded the good roads movement as a patriotic work.Few will be found to disagree with him, Just received a new and varied stock of glaes pieces for the table and sideboard.Lamps for oil and electricity, all in neat patterns and good

completed the concrete foundation for his new building at Stanstead.This will be a two-story structure, with tinahop, etc, on the ground floor and living appart- ments above.This community has furnished few recruita for the war and an effort is to be made to arouse greater interest.In thie connection the Oitizen\u2019a Recruiting Association of Montreal ie sending out speakers.A.O.Dawson, president of Belding, Paul & Co., Limited, will speak in the Methodist Church, Stanstead, Sunday morning, Nov.J4th, and at Beebe on the even- of the same day.; Mr.John F.Friese, who was director of manual training at Stanstead College last year.is now assistant to the editor of the Manual Training Magazine, voublished at Peoria, III.His work is largely the making of mechanical drawinga for the illue- tration of articles, making drawings of shop projects, doing proof reading, etc.The editor of the Magazine wae head of the Manual Arts Department of Bradley Institute when Mr.Friese was there two years ago.The choice of a former pupuil as a business or professional associate is something of a compliment.J.B.Parker of Dixville gave (he JOURNAL a call today.Mr.Parker said he was 64, bad never taken a glass of liquor or smoked a cigar, and was never prevented by illness from being up and dressed.That is something of a record.Mr, Parker owns a mill in Dixville and has just bomplete-.a new concrete dam on the Coaticook river there.Two sections, one 70 the other 110 feet, extend from rock formation near the centre of the stream to each shore, the height varying from 23 feet down according to the irregalarity of the rock foundation.The grtes were closed only a few days ago and the dam was found to be perfectly water tight.Mr.Parker thought there were opportunities for concrete construction on the Tomifobia.Mr.Parker served in the Dixville council nearly a quarter of a century.Having property qualifications in Barford township, he is now serving ae a councilor in that municipality of which he was the official representative on the tour of inspection over the Boundary Highway today.Talk of the union of the municipalities of Stanstead Plain and Rock Island, has become quite common of late.Whether anything ever comes from it or not, it is a good sign; it shows that the people of the two villages have, to a great extent, outgrown mutual prejudices, and are already to pall together.There never has been the same feeling before.One thing which has helped greatly is the almost complete annihilation of social lines, accomplished by certain move- mente and events of the past year or two.This is a \u201cmixed\u201d community, but we doubt if a better community- spirit exiets in Any other place.A tew disturbing elements are still left, but they are being worn smooth by gradual process.Nothing should be left undone to further this wholesome movement.In connection with the suggested union, the choice of a name has appeared to be the great bugbear to some.Stanstead is the older, and perhaps the more euphonious, while Rock Island has the broader connection in a commercial sense, its trade reaching to all parte of the Dominion.There would not, however, be any real neceseity for changing either name to secure municipal anion\u2014al- though of course the chance for unity is greater where there is but one name.Rock Island still continues to grow in an industrial way and Stan- stead should be developed as a residential section.Nothing broad can be accomplished without establishing & new street ar streets paralleling Main.The need of such an artery was painfully apparent when by the choking of the Mainstreet much property wae lost which might have been saved from the conflagration of October 13th, Adequate fire protection is one of the objects which those who would have the two villages joined, have in mind.IL LEAVE YOUR ORDER FOR =] I ROCK ISLAND, - - BEGIN'S I have a full line of ENGLISH BLUE SERGES and CHEV- IOTS.The shortage of

Villages.Mrs.E.P.Ball kindly consented to take charge of the canvase and under her very efficient organization and the splendid work of the young ladies, the substantial sum of 8435 was handed in at the close of the day.Generous contributions were received from Beebe, Graniteville, Way's Mills and the Helping Hand Society of North Stanstead.The prize offered by Mrs.Ball to the young lady bringing in the largest amount was won by Miss Dorothy Duncalfe.INTERNATIONAL W.C.T.U.The W.C.T.U.will meet with the president, Mrs.Geo.J.Trueman, at the college parlors, Stanstead, Wednesday, Nov.10th,

Motor Ambulance Fund is now in receipt of 8217.20 from the Plymonth Creamary Co.and 835.from Massawippi as follows: Patriotic Society 830.00, Mre.Lillian Shurtleff 83 00, Miss E.Woodward 62 00.The schools in the county are taking up the movement of donations of eggs from the children, Fair- fax school having begun with 60 cts.At this time of year, however, no great sums can be expec ed from eggs.A fresh outlay is anticipated in ineur- ing the two ambulances on their passage to England.Receipts have come in mostly from four centres, Coaticook, Ayer\u2019s Clift, North Hatley and Massawippi.Have not other parte of the county the same desire to have part in this noble offering to our brave soldiers to whom we can never sufficiently our exprees gratitude?Individualsubscriptions are gladly received.A further check of $63.30 from Mrs.Thomas Baldwin of Coaticook, brings the amount of her collections to 8175.60.This includes $25.00 from St.Stephen\u2019s Guild, $25.00 from Methodist Young Ladies\u2019 Circle, $5.00 from Rebekah Lodge, and $17.30 from Coaticook Golf Clab.A subscription of $2.00 was also received from Mrs.Hodges whose address wes not given.Centenary

and Mise Hathaway.Owing to the commanion service there will be no session of the San- day school next Sunday.\u2018TO REMAIN AT STANSTEAD.Registry Office Will Be Rebuilt on Old Site at the Plain.An adjourned meeting of the county council was held at Ayer\u2019s Cliff to-day, when it was decided by a vote of 10 to 3 to rebuild the registry office at Stan- stead.At a special meeting, called for the purpose of considering the matter on the 25th of October, the vote was 7 to5 in favor of removing the office to Ayer\u2019s Cliff, but it is presumed that this result was, to some extent at least, due to an improper understanding of the case.Prior to 1870 the county council met at Kings- croft, which was then the chef lieu for political purposes, etc., the court house and registry office being located at Stanstead.Then came the division of the county between Coaticook and Stanstead for registration purposes, while Kingscroft lost the chef lieu to Ayer\u2019s Cliff which also won the county fair from Stanstead.Since then Magog has grown from a hamlet to a good- sized town, the citizens of which naturally felt that if the registration should be taken from Stanstead it should go to Magog.Perhaps this was a factor in the decision to rebuild at Stanstead, The matter is now defl- nitely decided; the office will be re: built on the old site, where the vaults and foundation are intact.EAST STANSTEAD.Mr.and Mrs.McGaffey of Stanstead Plain, and Mr.and Mrs.F.Lawton of Cassville were guests of Mr.F.J.Libby last Sunday.Miss B.Turner spent the week-end in Judd\u2019s Mills, the

A colony of Finns have bought farms in the vicinity of Ludlow and are doing well.Hundreds of thousands of Finne have been driven out of thelr own country by Russian cruelty and barbarism and no better emigrants came to this country than the Finns, who are somewhat the same type of people ae the Swedes.The more of them that can be encouraged to come to Vermont the better.Vermont should provide for a farm sole agent in connection with the publicity department to aid emigrant settiers to locate in Vermont withodt being exploited by vampire real estate agents who are common in the big cities.Twenty years ago Vermont made a good start in this line, the late Maj.A.B.Vrlentine, of Bennington, taking a prominent part in the effort.A number of Swedish and Norweigian families were located on farms and these people and their children have proved among the best citizens of Vermont, but at the next session of the legislature the anvil chorus and arm-chair experts got in their work and the effort was choked to death without being given a fair trial.This early killing of a laudable effort genuinely successful experiment was one of the most unfortunate things that ever happened in Vermont, but it is not too late to overcome the error.With the improved opportunity for farmers the chance to develop the agricultural resources of the state were never so good as now.On Water Gonservation Commission.H.M.Molntosh, of Barlington, has received the appointment from Gov.Charles W.Gates to the conservation commission of flood waters in Vermont state provided for by act 240 of 1915 session of the legislature.The other members of the commission appointed by the governor are ex- Lieut.-Gov.Charles H.Stearns, of Johnson, and James A.Stacy, of Hart- tord, who represented that town in the last legislature.The members of the commission serve without compensation from the state, and it is their duty to investigate and determine what locations are feasible and moet desirable for the location of storage reservoirs within the state to store and hold flood waters, having in view the prevention of damage by flood and the benefit to water powers developed and undeveloped.Their report will be made to the governor and general assembly at ite next regular session.Mr.McIntosh is well known at Derby Line where many examples of his engineering skill are to be seen.1 \u201cForget it.\u201d \u201cForget Ie,\u201d [Rutland Herald.] When a piece of American elang shows vitality and effective use for four or five years, it is safe to eay that fairly universal human qoality Hee within it.Such is the terse and characteristic Americanism, *\u2018Forget CARTER\u2019S Inks, | Paste, Ae a conclusive argument for peace, personal, political or intérnational, what a power would pertain to the wiping out of all old scores with a world-conquering, \u2018\u2018Forget it.\u201d When annoyed to the point of exasperation by trivial people\u2014people who guaw the nerves and scarity the dispo- ! sition\u2014what a balm and healing lies in the magic philosophy, \u201cForget i!\" When it seems borne in upon us like a heaven-directed mission to go atiit- ing windmills, what a solid, commog- sense ring there is to the inward mentor which whispers, \u2018Forget it.\u201d When bored by a stupid editorial, incensed by an intolerant sermon, far better to stifle the seething wrath and Mucilage, Typewriter Ribbons Try Pencraft, the new double purpose ink for office and fountain pen use Sold by The Journal Printing Co.**When victimized by a petty rascal, the loss not adequate to the necessary energy for redress, \u2018\u2018Forget it,\u201d When abused by a drunkard, fool or silly child, \u201cForget it.\u201d When betrayed by a friend so deeply that the heart changes and the pleasant face takes on falsity, \u201cForget it.When Olid Man Bile poleons the dia- position and life is saffron instead of blue and fair, take a pill and\u2014*Forget it.\u201d How many wrongs are worth remembering?How many annoyances are worth noticing?How many trivialities are worth attention?The pit of oblivion swallows them, once we Yours to use can take our philosophy in both hands to \u201cForget itr © -
