Mrs.George Caldwell, Dufferin Avenue.Mies Alexis Duncan has been accepted as a nurse-in-training at the Northampton State Hospital Northampton, Mass., and will enter upon her duties there early in September.Miss Duncan has three brothers at the front.Sir John Aird, of Toronto, general manager of the Oanadian Bank of Commerce, was in town Tuesday.He has two sons in the army; one had been in Greece and was recently home on fariough.To see him off again Sir John had been to New York, and returning, took advantage of the opportunity to visit this section.He was taken by motor to several points of interest, and viewing Lake Mem- phremagog from a high elevation said: \u201cThat looks like Scotland.\u201d Since 8ir John is a Scotchman, members of his party thought the admission \u201csome compliment\u201d to this section Anent the ban on the Chautauquas in Vermont on account of infantile paralysis in the central part of the state, the publisher of the JOURNAL, believing that individuals should be governed by reason rather than fear, sought the advice of a well-known Canadian physician, who has a nuom- ber of children and who said he believed there was some danger, but not more than there is in ordinary travel.\u201cThe same possibility that we may all be struck by lightning and killed before night?\u201d queried the JOURNAL.\u201cYes, just about; that is my opinion,\u201d sald the physician.Afterwards the JOURNAL man sought the opinion of & Vermont physician, who put the astounding question: \u201cDid you know there had been a case of infantile paralysis in Derby Line within a few days?\u201d After the JOURNAL man had partially recovered from the shock, the physician explained that a Morgan woman, some weeks ago, went into the infected district near Mohtpelier to visit, taking the child with her.The cbild contracted the disease and remained in Washington County four weeks.After its return home it was brought to Derby Line for examination and treatment.The physician would not say that the child could then transmit the disease.The point which seems apparent to us is that there is more danger in allowing a child to visit an infected distriot than in allowing a Chautangua to be held in some place far removed from infection.Another point which seems inconsistent to us is this: Yesterday the agent of the big Swafford tent show, who was in town yesterday, said his show had been touring Vermont for some time and that no objection had been made.We have no deeire to discriminate against the tent show, nor can we understand why the Chau- tanqua, which is absolutely wholesome and educational in character, should be discriminated against.Affiliated with COLLEGE STANSTEAD, QUEBEC.Thorough practical and up-to-date training in Bookkeeping,

their respective homes, after a two weeks\u2019 visit to this section.Mrs.Morrill\u2019s late husband was a native of Stanstead township, and very much attached to it.Admiration is contagious; Mrs.Morrill was a native of Massachusetts, but during her regular visits with her husband she became so much attached to this community that her regular visits are continued after he is gone.Mrs.Morrill even became so much attached to the local paper that she paid for it in advance before leaving Tuesday, declaring her determination to have it as long as she lives.John H.McGregor of Athol, Mass., and C.Leslie Chamberlain of Worcester, Mass., were in town Tuesday for the purpose of checking up the plans for a new plant on the Vermont side of the boundary a short distance south of the Canadian plant and on a site of about the same area, Measurements were made and the necessary levels taken.The rapid growth of the company\u2019s business on the south side of the line obliges them to increase their plant as soon as possible.In speaking of the future of the twist drill business here, the manufacture of which has only just been begun, Mr.Mc- Gregor said there was no question about the demand; the problem was to solve that of production.The company are turning ont 45,000 drills a day in their.plant at Athol.TOWN TOPICS.Miss Elizabeth Griffin of Brattleboro, Vt., ie

local coôëperation has been withdrawn and the tent switched to a point near the Derby Line school grounds.The spirit with which the entertainers met the difficult situation last night, giving the best that was in them to an unsettled audience, challenges admiration.Splendid programs are in store for the next four days.Mr.Whiteside, general manager for the Community Chautauqua, made à frank statement of the controversy with the state board of health.He stated that his organization had twen- ty-one Chautauquas scheduled and that all were being carried out with the full coôperation of the local committees with the exception of Derby Line and one other place.Two other chantangua organizations were filling engagements except where such engagements were in districts affected by the paralysis.He did not think the Chautauqua, which had always been regarded as educational, should be classed with circuses, etc.They could not honorably cancel tontracts with their talent, and to oancel engagements meant virtual bankruptcy.The Chautauqua, however, would not continue its business if it believed that a single child would be endangered thereby.He considered the action of the state board manifestly unfair and believed the injunction of Judge Howe would be upheld.LIBBYTOWN.Miss Jessie Davidson left on Monday for Macdonald College where she will take short course in nature

on the Government road, between the Watson turn and the woods below Cassville, at nine o'clock Sunday night.Arthur Scott of Newport, motoring south on the Government Road, came suddenly apon a rig occupied by Mr.and Mrs.Richard Byers, North Stanstead, who had been driving in the middle of the road, but turned to the right when they saw the motor lights.Mr.Scott tailed to see the rig in time to avert the collision.The car struck the forward part of the buggy, smashing the right wheel, breaking both shafts, releasing the horse and throwing Mr.and Mrs.Byers into the left ditch.Fortunately both escaped serious injury.The horse ran away.With Mr.Scott were Mrs.Scott and little daughter, Miss May Libby formerly of Ayer\u2019s Cliff and Mrs.Grisim of Somerville, Mass., who had been visiting her mother, Mrs.Norman Wheeler of West Derby.They had spent the day at Lake Massawippi, near Ayer\u2019s Cliff and were returning home when the accident occurred.In the collision something happened to the

the residence of Dr.Ross, where it wan found that Mrs.Grisim bad three Yroken ribs on the right side and other Injuries, which were attended to by Dr.Ross.She was taken to West Derby the following morning and was getting along well when seen by Dr.Ross Tuesday.The other occupants of the car escaped with a severe shaking up and minor bruises.Mr.Scott would seem to have taken the wrong side of

seriously compromised\u2014not by design, but by a peculiar chain of circumstances.The section of this week\u2019s edition which went out on Monday contained statements which, in the light of subsequent evente, must have been misleading.The action of the State Board of Health was unofficially reported here last Thursday, but the local Chautauqua officers expressed the wish that no mention be made of it, as they considered the decree unreasonable, so far as thie place was concerned, and believed that it would be rescinded.Nevertheless the report was widely spread, likewise the report that no Chautauqua was to be held.Actuated solely by a desire to serve the community, the publisher of the JOURNAL expressed his willingness to issue a special edition for the purpose of conveying to the people of the surrounding country the positive assurance that the Chautauqua would be held, either on one side of the lipe or the other.The offer.was made to the local Chautauqua officers, who seemed greatly pleased and relieved.By them it was reported to Mr.Bortz, the Chautauqua representative, who left written authorization before his departure for Sherbrooke and the special edition was brought out.Meantime the Chautauqua people, local and central, were negotiating with state officials at Montpelier, aud in the end a controversy arose between the local and central Chautauqua people.An emergency meeting ot the guarantors was called on Tuesday, when all communications between the parties (by mail, telegram and telephone) were submitted.By these it was shown that the State Board of Health had declined to rescind the order; that the Central Chautauqua had obtained from Judge Howe of 8t.Johnsbury an injunction restraining the State Board from putting its order into effect for ten days, pending hearing and decision; that the local Chautauqua officers had notified the central organization to the effect that the former considered ite contract had been invalidated by the state decree.For the information of the gathering the secretary stated that the tent was coming bere from New York state, and it was also said that the Chautauqua people had agreed to avoid any point where there was known to be a case of infantile paralysis.One of the guarantors stated that the Governor of Vermont, in a long- distance telephone conversation, had expressed his inability to give advice on the legal aspects of the case.Asked if he thought going ahead with the Chautauqua would be regarded as deflance of the State authority, the Governor had stated that he could not really say that.Told that the community did not wish to take any chance of displeasing the State Board, the Governor had said: \u201cI don\u2019t see but that the only thing for you to do is to sit on\u201c/the fence and see it go by.\u201d This was interpreted to mean that the local committee should withdraw their support, allowing the Chautauqua people to get along as best they could.Finally a resolution to the effect that since the Chautauqua was under the ban of the state board and since there were those who felt its coming would be a menace, the guarantors should wash their hands of it.Mr.Madison, who was here as manager last year, arrived Wednesday morning, with the tent and first contingent.As might naturally be expected he had an up-hill job.Denied the use of the grounds secured by the local committee, he finally secured a site near the Derby Line School building, but the erection of the tent was delayed and at the time of opening he had been unable to secure a sufficient number of seats.There were in the audience leading Stanstead County farmers who bad driven in six, eight, perhaps ted miles after a hard day\u2019s work in the hayfield.Naturally they were not the first to arrive and when they did come some found no seats.One progressive young farmer from at least eight miles out, had to leave his mother, sister end young wife, with babe in arms, standing while he went away and brought in blockwood and scantling to build a seat.The JOURNAL man, seeing this and realizing that these people were probably there through the influence of this paper, felt more humiliated than he can tell.He was somewhat relieved when a little French- Canadian miss, from another part of the county, gave up her own seat, and with all the grace and courtesy of her race, induced the mother holding the child to take it.It wasn\u2019t much of a seat, having no back, but still the deed is worth recording.In the light of subsequent events the JOURNAL must admit that it was not justified in publishing tbe paragraph which read: \u201cThe citizens of the Three Villages invite the people of the surrounding country to enjoy with them the magnificent programs provided this year by the Community Chautauqua.\u201d The JOURNAL also published other statements regarding codpera- tion of local talent in Chautauqua entertainments, which, although fur- pished by the local Chautauqua committee and accepted in good faith by the publisher, proved to be misleading.The publisher, however, must accept full responsibility for everything, and does so.The foregoing is given solely in explanation, and the publisher is depending upon the charity, good sense and generosity of the JOURNAL readers to overlook, and to forgive him for any statements, which, although made in good faith, do not in the light of subsequent events, appear to have been justified.There were compeneating features in the entertainment itself.The program given by the Mendelssohn Sextette was mostly of a patriotic nature and the company, even under adverse circumstances, proved their just title to the appelation\u2014irresistibie\u2014used in the advertising.There was not a blemish in their entire program.People had been led to expect much trom ex-Governor A.O.Shallenberger of Nebraska, and it they were disappointed it was because the speaker went beyond their expectations.The distinguished Nebraskan carries a Germanic name, but his mother was English and his father Swise.His only son is with the first American expedition in France, and two nephews have been fighting with the Canadians tor over two years.Burning with patriotism, his words, addressed to Americans, were equally applicable and pleasing to Canadians.Mr.Shallenberger showed bimselt to be a master of history, us well as master of oratory.A local clergyman in the audience, atter the address, expressed the conviction that dir.Shallenberger surpassed W.J.Bryan in every respect.Mr.Shallenberger is a Democrat, but no one would have learned this trom his address; that was absolutely free from partizan taint.The fact that Mr.Shasienberger represents a Republican district in whe U.8.Congress, is a compliment, not only to the intelligence ot the Nebraskan electors, but to a distinguished citizen of that commonwealth, BETTER LAWS NEEDED.Mail order liquor dealers in Montreal are flooding dry territory with advertising matter setting forth in an attractive manner the merits (?) of their particular brands of booze, giving prices of their goods as well as express rates to every dry point in the country.To make ordering as easy as possible one concern sends a money order application, already filled out.Legislation was recently passed by the U.8.government making it illegal to advertise booze in prohibited areas, prohibiting the shipment of booze into dry territory and forbidding the use of the United States mails for the transmission of such circulars as are being sent out by the booze interests.Similar legislation should be passed by the Canadian government without delay.It should be made impossible tor liquor dealers to thwart the wishes of the people, as expressed by the ballot, or to neutralize their hard-won victories, in the manner above referred to.Governments are constantly assuring temperance delegations of their sympathy, but they are desperately slow of action.One reason is that many men sent to Parliament are too strongly attached to their booze.It we cannot have prohibition let us have laws that will give the largest measure of protection to prohibition territory.It booze were of any earthly use to anybody it would be different, but since it is only an element which robs the consumer, not only of his cash, but of his happiness it is the duty of every good citizen to put forth the utmost effort to banish it.Booze is only obtainable because of the selfishness and greed of those who make money out of it.Even those who drink would prefer to be let alone, but whiskey lets no man alone, A CASE IN POINT.A Beebe correspondent has forward- éd us a set of circulars sent out by booze vendors operating in Montreal under a high-sounding name, with the following letter: To the Editor of the Journal: \u201cA highly respected lady of Beebe is receiving through the mail, the enclosed liquor literature, containing prices on sll kinds of liquors from the of Montreal, Que.She wants to know if she has to submit to this nuisance, of having such letters going through the mails and landed in her P.O.box.Her husband is not averse to the business and had the mail fallen into his hands, she might bave had to endure a few weeks of booze in her home.I had hoped liquor could not be shipped into a probibition county, but in all probability this lady ie not the only victim of liquor rascality.Postmasters should have the right to return (postage unpaid) all letters coming to parties whom they know to be against the nefarious business.\u201d Note\u2014The editor is of the opinion that it would be even more to the point to confiscate ali liquor advertising addressed to the less fortunate class who are likely to be misled and influenced by it.TRADE AND PATRIOTISM.Enquiry among merchants of this section\u2014on both sides of the \u2018'line,\u201d and by no means confined to the immediate boundary district\u2014shows that retail trade is what they call \u2018\u2018qulet\u201d thie srmmer.One dealer said that while be was handling a much smaller volume of goods than formerly his sales, owing to the general increase in prices, amounted to about the same as formerly.This would seem to indicate slower buying, through voluntary or enforced economy.The effects of the war are being felt, notwithstanding the claim that there never was a time when there was so much money in circulation.In industrial centres manufacturers who were fortunate euough to be producers of goods the demand tor which is conetantly being stimulated by the war, are heaping up fortunes.Paper manufacturers have perhaps come in for greater criticism than the others because their abnormal profits have been wrung from the publishers, who were in a position to give publicity to such highhandedness.Grasping as the paper makers have been, it is doubtful if they are worse than many others.It has been said that the war is making two classes in thie country\u2014millionaires and paupers.lished in the financial interests, made the bold statement that by the close of the war manufacturers (meaning the tavored class, of course) will have been put upon such a sound footing that they will not care what happens, It has got sd that privileged people can speak unblushingly ot dividends of five, six or eight percent a month.This is not created and ultimately must come out ot the consumer.The industrial organization has become so perfect as to virtually wipe out competition.It would seem that about the only hope of obtaining anything at a reasonable price would be in lowering the tariffs, and yet we are told that tariffs will have to be increased to provide the colossal revenues required to meet the costs of the war.ADVERTISING A FALSEHOOD.The National Breweries, a Canadian beer \u2018trust,\u2019 is spending large sums for newspaper advertising.Through a well-know Montreal advertieing agency a series of quarter page ade are being sent out to even the country newspapers at generous prices for the space used.Without waiting for acceptance, the agency in question has rushed to the JOURNAL copy which no publisher ought to accept, because it is misleading and untrue.To add to the deceit the ddvertiser\u2019s name ie omitted in an apparent effort to conceal the real purpose of the advertising.From one of these advertisements we quote a single paragraph: \u201cIt is recognized everywhere that if we want the best results from the working man we must give him his beer, because beer is both food and drink.\u201d The claim that beer is a food in any practical seuse is not only untrue but a ridiculous abaurdity.Physiciane of repute have estimated the food value of a bottie of beer as equivalent to something like a single kernel of grain, but they have also said that this infinitesimal food value is more than offset by the injurious effects of beer.For the purpose of argument we will quadruple it and say that the food value of a glass of beer is equal to a single kernel of grain.Even on this basis it would take about a barrel and a half of beer to make a square meal.Any schoolboy must know that the deleterious effects of the alcohol, etc, in that quantity of beer would more than offset any possible food value it might possess.As we have pointed out before, in benighted Germany no newspaper can legally publish a false statement even in an advertisement.If Canada were to adopt a similar law newspapers mignt make a little less money, but the citizens of the country would be protected.SWAFFORD\u2019S NEW BIG SHOWS.Will begin a week\u2019s engagement at the top of the Plain Hill, Rock Island, Monday, July 30th, with all new plays, new specialties, everything new but the name.The Swaffords are offering their patrons some of the best class of plays obtainable.As with the plays, so with the acting company, it is bigh grade in every respect, and to make the attraction complete the management has some real novelties in vaudeville numbers.The opening play Monday evening, \u201cThe Road to Wealth,\u201d is one of New York's greatest successes.The plays for the week will be as follows: \u2018The Turning Point,\u201d \u201cThe Green Eyed Monster,\u201d \u201cThe New Lena Rivers,\u2019 \u2018As a Map Sows,\u201d \u2018Is Your Daughter Bafe?\u201d and \u2018How Women Win.\"\u2014Adv.How nice it would be if the business interests of the country would adopt the same method as the Vermont doctors have done.They have agreed that doctors remaining at home shall divide their tees with the doctors that go into the country\u2019s service.It the business men would only say to the men who enlist, we will codperate in the production of war munitions and supplies at a real sacrifice and only reasonable profit, we would soon be in condition to strike a winning blow in this war.Some month's ago Bradstreet\u2019s, pub- 1a) CARD OF THANKS.We wish to sincerely

fortunate as to damage.There seems to have been somewhat of a diminuation in speed on the government highway the past week, either from \u201cnervous restraint\u201d eince the Sunday accident, or knowledge of \u201cgpotters\u2019 abroad who have a fashion (and it is a good one) of sitting behind the bushes, or in open space lying in the grass, with note book and pencil in hand, and of copying your car number, or mine, as you or I drive by.Then let us beware, as later we might have to answer for speeding.Arrivals in town are Mrs.O.8loggett with infant, and her mother, Mrs.Vannier, of

encourage the speaker.Coobperation is asked for in making arrangements, and the singers especially are invited to assist to make the service bright and inspiring.The Board of Trade meeting will be held on Thursday evening.Monday evening when the cows at \u201cBroadview Farm\u2019 came to the barn, one was missing.On investigation it was found in the pasture with its leg broken.Mr.8.Colt, the

We are in an old trench, but not very near our neighbor, Fritz, eo our tronbles are few.This is the kind of a day that makes a small boy homesick.Just imagine another winter\u2019s campaign, cold, wet, muddy, hungry, lonesome: instead of being at home comfortable, dry, clean, happy, plenty of eats and if lucky having a sleigh drive occasionally to Apple Grove! Wouldn\u2019t such thoughts break your heart?Who sald we should worry?Well, I expect you are at Macdonald today and are baving a stroll on the campus, & visit to the Ste.Anne ice- cream parlor, canoeing on the Ottawa River, etc, etc.Do tell me of your rounds of pleasure if you have time.How do you like the place for scenery?Of course some of the boys from there have enlisted and that will be a drawback.Very sincerely, CHARLES W.THE LATE S.C.EARLE.Samuel Chandler Earle, for twenty- one years a member of the Tufts faculty, and since 1808 professor of English, died at his houfe in Somer- ville, Massachusetts, July 20, 1917.He had not been well for some time and was forced to give up his college work last spring.He hoped, however, to return to his duties in the fall.He was born in Brattleboro, Vt., on July 7, 1870, the son of Orville and Eliza Miriam (Chandler) Earle.He was graduated from Harvard, A.B., in 1894, and then for two years was a student at the Graduate School.He received his A.M, degree in 1895, and began teaching a year later as professor of English at Tufts, and most of his work since then had been as the head of the department of English and modern languages in the engineering department.He was the pioneer in English in technical schools and his text book, \u201cTheory and Practice of Technical Writing,\u201d is a standard book in ite line.: Mr, Earle married, on Dec.27, 1899, in Stanstead, Que., Lydia Gustin Knight, by whom he is survived, with also a daughter, Ruth, and a son, Edwin Earle.Mr.Earle was a member of many learned societies, and was a lifelong Universalist, always active in the affairs of the church with which he was connected.Funeral services were held at his home Sunday afternoon, July 22, Rev.Lee 8.McCollester, Dean of Crane Theological School, officiating.ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORS.Mrs.W.L.Brainerd, son Rosamond and daughter Edns, from Edmonton, Alberta, are guests at the home of Mrs.Brainerd\u2019s father-in-law, Mr.T.E.Brainerd, Boynton.Lieut.J.A.Wood of Melbourne, 10th Fieid Oo., Canadian Engineers, has received the Military Oross in recognition of his gallant conduct aes a Oanadian officer tn France.Daring a heavy electric storm Sunday morning Mr.McOulloch\u2019s barn at East Farnham was struck by lightning and burned.The lossincludes wagons, sleighs, gasoline engine and lumber, three calves, a pig, cow and the contents of the granary.Even the dog \u2018was burned.The loss runs into the thousands, with only $1,600 insurance.During a severe electrical storm Sat- arday night two night watchmen at the powder mill, Windsor Mills, Louis Abram and his son Joseph, a young married man, took refuge in Mr.Ver- rett\u2019s house near by.About midnight the house was struck by lightoing and Joseph Abram was killed.His father was badly burned, and Mrs.Verrett received a shock which partly paralized her.- The Store That is Never Undersold in Reliable Merchandise MILLER\u2019S FASHION'S OWN STORE MILLER\u2019S DERBY LINE, -
