but Mr.Rice spoke well and acted the part splendidly and Messrs.Many and Sandilands followed well the cue handed them by Mr.Rice.Mr.Wood- worth read some of the best data on his side of the question.J.Henry Gauthier and W.E.Norris eupported their leader ably, and as a whole both sides of the question were interestingly handled.The ladies and gentlemen present acted as judges, and the vote stood 38 for the affirmative and 19 for the negative.TOWN TOPICS Key found.Inquire Journal Office.Dr.H.P.Stockwell has gone to Bermuda.Fiora Fox is suffering from tonsilitis and influenza.: E.A.Hamilton ot Newport, euper- intendent of schools in Derby and Newport, was in town Thursday.Mr.and Mrs.W.R.Webster of Sherbrooke were atthe Derby Line botel from Thursday to Monday.Mr.8.Mottram was out Tuesday for the first time after an attack of la grippe.Mrs.Mottram is still ill with the same disease.G.Raymond Heath of Prospect Park, whose foot was pierced by a rusty nail at the Butterfield works some three weeks ago, is still confined \u2018to his home by the injury.Mrs.Stevens will entertain the Ladies Aid Society of the Methodist Church at her home Wednesday afternoon, March 17th.Red Cross work will be done, and a good attendance is looked for.Rev.E.L.Conklin arrived from New York Sunday afternoon, having been on the road since the Friday evening previous.Ib spite of the fact that he had to walk up from Beebe Junction he considered himselt fortunate to have escaped any serious trouble on account of the storm and blockade.There will be services at the Congregational Church on Sunday at 10.30 a.m, and 7 p.m.Morning sermon, \u201cDigging for Gold;\u201d evening \u2018The Derelict.\u201d This Sunday will be generally observed as \u2018\u201cGo-to-church- Sunday.\u201d If you have not been in the habit of attending a place of worship, make a beginning this lenten season.Weather conditions during the past week seem to have been favorable for the preservation of last Sunday sermons.Unless its content may be found to have been chilled, \u201cThe Now Taek\u2019\u2019 is as important a theme as it was a week ago and will be presented at the Universalist Church at 10.45 am.Never mind the enow banks.This is not the vacation season.A few days ago a local trader on the \u2018\u2018American side\u2019\u2019 decided to become a participant in the big prices paid for eggs in Boston, and shipped several cases, strictly fresh laid, to that city by express.Then the prevailing price here was 65 cents a dozen.In Boston the price to consumers was a dollar or more.About that time Boston papers announced a slump which brought the price down to 80 and 90 cents, the latter for strictly fresh laid, like those shipped from this place.But all the local dealer could get from the Boston commission man was 56 cents a dozen and out of this the express had to be paid.The incident shows that the Boston \u201cmiddleman\u201d was getting about 35 cents a dogen; it also reveals one of the reasons of the bigb cost of living in Boston.À Diamond Ring and 50-60 Derby Line, Vt.BARREL SALE AT R.C.PARSONS & SON'S STORE To Commence Saturday A.M., March 13th A Barrel full of articles at 25 oents each, No Blanks Don't fail to try for one or both of these.R.C.PARSONS & SON JEWELERS à Watch for someone First come, first served.60-60 Rock Island, Que.TOWN TOPICS W.F.Pike is much better and able to be about.8.8.Stevens of St.Johnsbury was in town Friday.N.E.Walley of Sherbrooke was in town Thureday.* H.E.Paine and family will leave for Milton, Mass., next Monday.Moses Raymond of Montgomery, Vt., wea io town Thursday and Friday.F.O.Flanders of Barton, special agent of the internal revenue department, was in town Thursday.William Sanborn of Holland has rented the apartment in the White building next to the A.& P.Store.The town of Derby, at the annual town meeting, voted to have medical examination of the pupils in ail its schools.H.Fred Pierce has sold the Morrill farm at Dufferin Heights to Fred Qs- good of Cookshire, possession to be given this month.The Jolly Juniors of the Universalist Church will meet with Mrs.Herbert A.Oullins at the Derby Line Hotel next Monday evening.The H.F.Pierce horse barn at Stan- stead is being converted into a modern overall factory, which will be occupied by the Peerless Overall Company of this place.©.B.Kelley hauled a 4535 1b load of coal up from Newport yesterday, a portion of the fuel going to the Derby Line Café, tbe balance to Crystal Brook farm.Albert Clark has been seriously ill and in charge of Nurse Brock during the past few days.He contracted a bad cold a few weeks ago and was threatened with pneumonia.This le not a propitious veagon for lumbermen and others having much hauling to do.Heavy travel only began to move yesterday after the big storm of the week-end.Today roads are breaking up with another thaw.Mre.Hannah À.Clark of Barton died at the home of her daughter, Mrs.Oharies E.Hamblet, Tuesday, and was buried in Berkshire where she was born 88 years ago.Mrs.Clark had relatives and friends here.Mrs, Elva Atwood of Montreal is a guest of Dr.and Mrs.C.A.Moulton, Mra.Atwood is the daughter of Dr.Webber of Richmond, Quebec, who was well known by the older people here.Mrs.Atwood, with her sister, formerly spent considerable time in Stanstead.The week-end snowstorm totalled 24!¢ inches, making the season\u2019s precipitation 127 inches to date.The week-end storm was the heaviest snowfall in 15 years, with one exception, that of February, 1907, when 3134 inches in 54 hours was the record.Dr.H.P.Stockwell made a good winning with Barred Plymouth Rocks at the recent Sherbrooke Poultry Show, and also sold several birds, one going to Macdonald College to be used in their breeding operations there.The Three Villages can boast of about the best flocks of Barred Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds and Speckled Suesex in the Province of Quebec.Mrs.William L Heath of Cassville won prizes on White Leghorns and Wyandottes, and Alden Peasley was a winner on Black Siberian hares.Alden also won a place in the crowing contest with his White Wyandotte Cockerel.Centenary Methodist Church Rev.Manson Doyle, assistant secretary of the Religious Educational Work in the Montreal Methodist Conference, will preach next Sunday morning in the Methodist Churoh, Stanstead.THE JOURNAL'S FRIENDS J.L.Thornton, Jr., of Bonavista Dairy and Poultry Farm, near Coati- cook, sends check covering eubscrip- tion three or four years in advance, and writes that his wife says the JOURNAL is one paper that she tries to find time to read through every week.That is a compliment these strenuous times.O.F.Smith, Worcester, Mass, writes: \u201cEnclosed please find check to balance old account.We must have the JOURNAL if we go without boots the balance of this old-fashioned winter, and we must have the JOURNAL even if we carry stone bruises on our heels next summer.The JOURNAL stands for two things, Home and Sobriety.Our Pilgrim Fathers took for their guiding star the school and the church, and on that foundation they built this, the richest of all nations.If my native province takes and follows as ite guiding star, that long necked and poisonous bottle, the next generation will see that province where Mexico is today.\u201d STANSTEAD COLLEGE NOTES The Wednesday evening's recital proved an excellent one.There were piano solos by Beth Sornberger, Ruth Farnham, Helen Gordon, Rose Levin and Kathleen Davenport;

FARM BUREAU NOTES Home Demonstration Work Being Pushed in Orleans.Orleans Counnty is unfortanate in not having a Home Demonstration agent.The women of some communities, however, realize that they can receive much benefit from the Farm Bureau and are successfully carrying out some projects themselves with wbat assistance the Farm Bureau is able to secure for them through the Extension Service at Burlington, Mrs.J.H.Bartlett, Home Demonstration leader in Orleans, reports that 241 quarte or 783 pounds ol meat products having been canned by the varlons women who attended the demonstration meeting in December.Fowls, pork, and beef in various forme, sausage, and different kinds of soup stocks have been canned eo far.She also reports that fifteen different homes in this community bave used for at least three daye recently menos planned in accordance with some of the rules given at a Foods talk by Miss Holden a wbilejago.Mies Holden reports that some of these menus were exceptionally good.Three women have also reported from West Glover.Advertising our Dairy Business, Not so long ago a prominent registered stock breeder said, \u201cI find that there is usually a bigger call for registered bull calves immediately after some Farm Bureau Meetings have been held.I give the Farm Bureau credit for a lot of the stock I sell.\u201d It is difficult to actually measure results in Farm Bureau Work, but such a statement as this leade us to believe that thie organization Is proving ite value.And that brings us to another point \u2014a8 the work of the Farm Bureau progresses and demand for better stock increases, where can it be bought?Registered bulls of high quality and good grade cows are bound to be in demand.The farmer who has something to sell or expects to have in the near future should be considering how best to advertise his stock.One thing that will call attention to his farm is the use of a \u201cRegistered Bull\u201d sign tacked in some conspicuous place on his buildings.Three of the Cattle Uluba, Holstein, Guernseys and Jerseys, furnish these- signs free of charge to owners of registered bulls.They are attractively printed on tin.A supply of Jersey and Guernsey bull signs are on hand at the Farm Bureau office and a supply of Holstein signs is expected soon.Any one may secure one by making application to the Dairy Oommitteeman in their community or writing the Farm Bareau Office.The ball is à very important part of the dairy and it is just as important tor a farmer to advertiee the fact that he owns a registered bull of sucha breed as it is for the merchant to let it be known that he sells certain kinds of groceries.If we are to supply the demand for good breeding stock, we must know where it is, and the dairyman that makes a practice of advertising in various ways is the man that will profit from this demand.No firm oan sell its goods to advantage without advertising; the eame is true of the dairyman who raises high grade stock.APPRECIATED BY TOWN At the Annual Town Meeting held at Derby, March 2, 1920, the following resolutions were read: Whereas Myron A.Adame, a lifelong resident of the town of Derby, by his exemplary life and helpful service to his community, county, and state and to his fellowmen, and whereas he bad eerved his town faithfully and efficiently in various official capacities, and while serving his town in the important positions of Lister and Trustee of Public Money and whereas, since our last town meeting, in which he took part, he has been called to the bigher life: Be it resolved,\u2014\u2014That in his passing the town has suffered a distinct loses, in that a faithful public servant, helpful adviser and friend has been re-) moved from our midst.Thie resolution baving been unanimously adopted at the annual town meeting, it is moved by your committee that a copy of this resolution and vote be placed on our town records and a copy be forwarded to the members of his family.)

Grow Unless the Causes Which Gave It Birth Are Removed.Article VII.+ By FRANK COMERFORD.A specter haunts Europe.It is the ghost of unrest.When I started out to Interview unrest in Europe I did not give my ear to the idle theorist who always knowe all about everything, but never from direct experl- ence with it, nor did I go to the agitator who preaches unrest in red words Neither did I seek out the type of fanatical labor leader, who Is eager for trouble, who is trying to mobilize unrest and marshal it under the banner of Revolution.I passed by the place- hunting, time-serving politician.I was not interested in platitudes and prom- ses, I sought knowledge of unrest from those who knew it from contact with it, those who were part and parcel of it.I went to the man in the street, the average man.1 talked with the sweaty, dirty coal miner at the mouth of the shaft.He had just come from his day in the darkness deep in the ground, I visited the man who works in the mills, I listened to the rough speech of the teamster.I went to factories and talked with men between the two whistles which mark the time of the noon meal.They munched at black bread, ate cheese or sausage, gulped tea, coffee or cheap, diluted red wine.I spent time with the idle, the idle by choice as well as those without work through no fault of their own.Only yesterday many, yes, most of these men were in khaki; now,\u2018back an the job in overalls, they were thinking.Their speech was troubled.Discontent looked out from their eyes.I could feel it.They talked it, but never as unrest, always protest.Unrest Must Be Quieted.Their state of mind is the problem, Unrest is epidemic; it is militant.There is little of pacifism int.It is real, it is not without cause, To get close to the cause of this disease which threatens revolution, one must know and understand what fe going on In the minds of the men we are looking to and depending upon to do the world\u2019s work.It doesn\u2019t take a prophet to understand that if heed is not given to the things irritating them and a remedy Is not found for the irritation, serious trouble will follow.While war ls hell, 1t has at least the restraint of discipline, A revolution growing out of unrest would mean mob madness, terrorism, fanatical, brutal, cruel and merciless.Once started, it would spread like wildfire.The world would be swept from its senses, The fire would run ite course until stopped because there was nothing left to burn.Who dares picture the state In which It would leave the world?In this day, when the nerves of the world are on edge, when cold and hunger irritate, one shudders when he thinks of the fate of civilization if unrest is not checked before it explodes in passion and wrath.Unrest existed before the war.It was an acorn then, it is an oak now.Before the war men were complaining, and justly complaining, about their lot, The difference now is that four years in the trenches have caused them to stop complaining and act.Soidiering taught them much.They learned of the greatness of force.Back of their present tendency to act Is the grown grievance and the war lesson.Before the war they complained; today they demand, It is Interesting to examine unrest in the complaint stage, as these men knew It before 1914.These plain, ordinary average men have always been Intensely human.They loved their wives afd children, they llved for thelr homes, they felt keenly their responsibility for the happiness oftheir loved ones, They have but one thing to give.Before the war they gave it unsparingly\u2014it was their labor.Their one source of Income was the pay envelope.With thelr wages they had to buy shoes, clothes, food, and provide shelter for the lives they brought Into the world, and for the women they had chosen to be the mothers of those children.\u201cMome\u201d* Before All \u201cHome, Sweet Home\u201d 1s.the international anthem.It is the heart song of the average man.The club plays no part in his life.From his home he goee to work, and from work he goes home.Shantles and tenements are not homes, These men have always protested against the ugly shacks in which they were compelled to house their loved ones.They bit their lips in jobless days when thelr children went to bed hungry.Resentment grew in their hearts when they saw how poorly dressed their wives and children were.They muttered curses when thelr children were forced to go to work.They wanted to give thelr children a better education than they bad had, a better chance in life, and they laughed at laws prohibiting child labor, while conditions compelled chil.- \u2014\u2014n dren to work or starve.As these men grew older their families grew in size and demand, while thelr ability to earn decreased.The tragedy registered in their pay envelopes.They were being ground between growing needs and diminishing wages.The grinding pot only burt their bodies, it farrowed their brain.They lived In dread of poverty.It had been thelr purse, they feared it would be their pallbéarer.Poverty had taken {ts revenge upon them.They were resolving that if they could help it it would not put its lash upon their children.They knew poverty intimately.It wasn't a word, a name, it was a living hateful, cruel compan- fon.It was the devil that recruited the Marys of Scarlet Hall, the Magda- lens of the slums, and always the army was mobilized from the shanties of the poor.Children who had been robbed of their youth, who had never owned a flower, poorly fed and miserably clad, dragged out of bed by alarm clocks, sounding the call to toil, when they should have been answer- Ing the school bell, children physically unfit for the breadwinner's struggle, children without the moral endurance necessary for the fight, were driven into No Woman's land, the rotten scum under the world.Light in Education, Before the war men were brooding qn these things, papers, books, magazines mirroring life,\" pictured these horrors.They were the subject of public discussion and debate.Men returning from a hard day's work talked these things over with their avives after the children had gone to bed, and many a man left his supper table to peek through the half-closed door Into the room where his kiddies were sleeping, tiptoeing back, only to look into the eyes of a mother, and see reflected there the fears he felt.The invention of the typesetting machine, the cheap manufacture of paper, the growth of public school systems, and public libraries, brought light to the dark minds of the workmen.In that light they saw more clearly their needs and more completely realized thelr rights.It is the natural ambition of man to cllmb.He wants to get on and up.Ignorance had kept him from climbing.Ignorance is darkness, Men stumble when they try to go forward in the dark.Education is the light in the road.«They sought to make haste, to make up for the lost time.Education taught them to want things for them- sclves and their families that their fathers and mothers never thought of wanting.The homes which satisfied their parents depressed and irritated them, The bathtub and tooth brush are acquired habits.The desire to straighten the back that has been bent in toil too long, Is put there by education.\u201cOne thing stood in the way\u2014It obstructed the path upward to decent living.They saw the barrier clearly and distinctly\u2014poverty.They saw this impassable obstacle was made out of poor wages, They saw more, They saw that poor wages bullt the poorhouses and filled them, organized the bread lines, introduced the soup house.Out of their thoughts, in thelr experlence, they carved a truth, \u201cAs long as some people have more than they can possibly use, while others through no fault of their own have less thun they absolutely need, something is wrong,\u201d and when the call to arms came these thoughts were living in the mass mind of the world.Many not concerned with the problem of the other seven-eighths, knowing nothing of what was happening in the minds of the men and women of toil, and caring less, they did not know that these men were uniting and planning to tear down the wall of poverty.(Copyright, 1920, Western Newspaper Union) Contradiction in Berlin, Fats, olls, clothes, milk for bables and other necessities are scarce in Berlin, and

Significance.Today on the Capitoline, the smallest geographically, but historically the most fmportant of the famous seven hills of Rome, there is the sound of hammering, the fall of masonry.Here, for many centuries, was centered the religious apd political activity of the Roman empire, and here in the last half century Germany had established herself Imperially, residentially.In the Palazzo Caffarelli, built near the site of the great temple of Jupiter, consecrated in B, O.509, was the German embassy, with the throne of the emperor of Germany, Near at hand was the German Archaelogical institute, within its garden the famous Tarpeian rock, to be visited of recent years only by obtaining the key of the gate from the German authorities.On the plazza, Romulus Is said to have founded his asylum and here in the centuries before the Christian era, as in the middle ages, Rome had the seat of her government.It was here that from house to house, from terrace to terrace, Germany up to the year 1914 was steadily spreading her domains.The statue of Marcus Aurelius by Michael Angelo was In the plazza of the Capitoline, so also were those of Constantine and his son, but there was room for others, Today, however, the Palazzo Caffarelll with its six- teenth-century architectural beauties, and its Teutonic decorations, is being removed from the capital in carts, The authorities have decided that this seventh hill of Rome belongs to the past of Italy and they seek beneath the floors of the German embassy further foundations of the great temple of Jupiter built by Tarquin the superb, that other last of the kings.LANGUAGE ENRICHED BY WAR English Newspaper Comments on Addition of American Slang to the Ordinary Vocabulary.An enterprising publishing firm has (issued a post-war English dictionary which professes to contain words that came into use during the war.It might have saved some perplexity on the part of the Willesden magistrate who was told by a witness last week

how many weary hours has he not spent In \u201cposhing up\u201d for parades and inspections?To \u201cposh up\u201d means, of course, to make oneself look smart.In civilian life it means specklessly polished boots, starched collar, neatly pressed trousers, carefully brushed hair, and a shining morning face.In the army it meant buckles, buttons and cap badge polished to distraction, leather equipment with a supergloss, and well \u201cblancoed\u201d haversack and valise (khak! color, of course).And for the man \u201cwarned for guard\u201d behind the lines or in camp at home there was

Medl- cine is advocating that schoo! children be taught to write with the left hand as well as the right.One curious point concerns the cult of the left hand, an eminent physician having stated that it tends eventually to increase lunacy.The notion has, however, heen contested by other medical men, and the head nmster of Eton suggests that the further usage of the left hand develops certaln organs of the brain which otherwise lie dormant.Find Color Photo Process.A secret emulsion, invented by a Russian professor, which, It is asserted, will make color photography possible for everybody,

pooty near a fight there in the morning,\u201d was the answer.There is not much doubt about the sort of municipal politice best calculated to auit the boya.The first Farm-Labor legislature in Canada was opened at Toronto Tuesday when the firet session of the fifteenth legislature of the province ot Ontario was convened.The Farmer government, with its eleven Labor \u2018\u2018supporters,\u2019\u201d\u2019 has a majority of only two in the whole house, but the opposition, both Liberal and Covserva- tive, professes à desire to give the most democratic government the country has ever seen a chance to prove ite worth.NATURE'S WAY Alcoholic tonics and dangerous sedatives are fast falling into disuse.When the body is debilitated the effectual means of restoring strength is SCOTT'S EMULSION which does what your regular food should do but all too often fails to do\u2014nourishes and strengthens the whole body.lt is the results that follow the use of Scott\u2019s Emulsion that have made its multitude of friends.Scott & Rowne, Torunto, Ont, 1929 the west and increased in velocity, while the temperature dropped below zero.Huge drifts were piled up wherever favored by cuts, fences, hills, etc., and traffic with outlying districts was cat off.At Rock Island some sidewalks were kept open, after a fashion, with the scraper which was out nearly all day Saturday and again on Sunday morning, but the streets became badly blocked and there was practically no travel with horses.Sunday morning men who were engaged to roll the roads declined to go out without being preceded by shovellers, who were needed to make a way through the big drifts.Mayor Lowell and Councilor Neveu of the street committee tried to get the men needed, but at nearly noon had succeeded in obtaining only two or three who were willing to work; most of those approached refused to shovel snow on Sunday.The Mayor then decided to call for volunteers to open the streets and in this he was successful.The volunteers were divided into twos and threes and detailed for service in different sections.The worst drift was at the top of the Plain Hill where the snow reached the top of the bedge.Other big drifts were encountered in the east part of the village and on Foundry Hill, as well as near the lower end of Main street.Shoveling also had to be done at the entrance to Prospect Park near the Passenger station.The Mayor moved as much snow as any other man on the job, again demonstrating that he is the \u2018right kind of an executive for these strenu- otis times.Councilor Neveu was also out with a shovel throughout the afternoon.In some places the work resembled quarrying quite as much as snow shoveling, so hard was the snow packed.Before five o\u2019clock, however, the roller had gone over all streets usually rolled and matters took on a more normal appearance, Av the Anglican, Congregational, Methodist and Universalist churches no service waa held either morning or evening, butinthe Roman Catbolic Church at both Stanstead and Rock Island services were held as usual, Undaunted by the elements, and braving the perils of roads considered \u2018impassable, Mies Beauchamp, teacher \u2018at the R.O.Model School, Beebe, walked to Rock Island to church, Beebe forming a part of the Roman Catholic parieh which has its church and headquarters here.At Derby Line no effort was made to keep the sidewalks open during the big storm.Residents of the east end used snowshoes to reach the business section.Mail and train services were seriously interrupted.8ome residents of Beach Avenue, where the water supply froze up eome time ago, had to carry water on snowshoes Saturday night and Sunday.DEMICK\u2019S MILLS, VT.Mr.and Mre.B.L.Wheeler are the happy parents of a baby boy, born Feb.23rd, 1920.Oongratulations.All our sick ones are better at this writing.Miss Edythe A.Flynn has been spending several weeks in Newport Center and Newport City.Mrs.0.U.Ladd ie epsnding a tew days at Island Pond.Mr.Car!

worries of the author of \u2018The Old Soak\u2019s History of tbe Rum Demon,\u201d appearing in the Sun Dial, the New York Sun\u2019s funny *colyum,\u2019\u2019 under the direction of Don Marquis.To such an extent does the baneful infloence of prohibition on future generations oppress the heart of *Old Boak\u2019\u2019 that he devotes several paragraphs to lugubrious reflections thereon.Time was, he glooms, when a man could go to a barroom and get all the booze he wanted, and the children didn\u2019t see him But now be is forced to drink at home with hie eager offspring all standing around asking: \u2018Pa, what do you need with so much of that medicine?\u201d and \u201cCan I bave some,\u2019 paÿ\u201d To quote \u201cOld Soak\u2019s solemn warning: It is a great responsibility to bring up children right end God-fearing and be sure they say their lay me down to sleep every night like the good book says they should, and what I want to know is why thie Government don\u2019t heip tbe parents and fathers with all then responsibilities instead of being a stumbling-block in their way and putting liquor in the home where the growing children will smell it all the time, and if they smell it they will want some of it.Ot course a young feller has got to learn to drink sometime, but there is such a thing as learning to young, and it stunts their growth, and tbe good book eays keep it out of the mouths of babes and sucklings.Maybe a little beer is all right if a baby is puny to fatten him up, but I never give my children any hurd liquor till they had their growth, and I got no use fora government that torns in and puts liquor in the home to make drunkards out of the little innocent children.Maybe if a child has gotacolda little whisky is good for him, and what ie left in the bottom of the glass when their dad is done with it if they put some sugar and water init and play they are like pa won\u2019t hurt none of them any and will help make them so they can hold their share when they get growed up, but that is different from forcing it down their poor little innocent throats all the time and every day, which is what tbat prohibition commandment amounts to.I knowed a child once ina fambly where they thought it was smart to let him bave some bard liquor, and he growed up with goggle-eyes andeall rickety from it and took to smoking these here cheap cigarets and it was a shame as any person with any heart a tall would have said, and does this Government want the whole future generation of posterity to grow up goggle-eyed and rickety like that by tforcing liquor into the home, and where will they get their strong soldiers from in the next war?I will eay they got no conscience to do a thing like that to the whole passel of children waiting to grow up and go to be soldiers.It Is enongh to make any honest man stop and think and his heart bleed when be thinks of all them millions and millions of innocent children and the way they are being ruined with liquor in the home and maybe helping their daddies make it with yeast and raisins and things and cornmeal in the cellar.Iteached my boys to drink in the barroom just ae fast as they growed up and teached them to tell good liquor from bad liquor and not to mix their drinks and not to go in for tancy drinks and to drink along with me for a comfort for my old age and a father had ought to make chums of his boys like that and give them the right ox- ample and they stay close to him and be knows what they are thinking about and can give them good advice and my boys has been a comfort to me.My boys is all growed up, but what worries me is the millions and millions of little children that is going to learn to drink too young.The discovery of a seam of semi- bituminous coal twelve feet thick is

lay the blame where it belongs; every road coming into the village has been in pretty good shape this winter, and kept rolled, except the Libbytown division, and that has not been kept at all\u2014only an ocoa- sional rolling.The roads before the Jast storm were a good deal higher than the sides and had been rolled so little that the sides were soft and no good for turning out.Now since Saturday\u2019s storm the roller has pot been taken out, although today is Wednesday, just because there ie alittle shovelling to do.If the ones who have taken the job do not want it, why not

Water Comes Direct From Well.(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) MIIk may be cooled most efficlently on the farm by running it over a surface cooler In which the avallable water supply is used at Îts coldest temperature and the cooling completed by storing the cans of milk in a tank of fce water.It Is possible In that way within a short time to lower the temperature of milk to below 50 degrees F.Frequently the water used for cooling milk Is not used to the best advantage.Spring water 1s sometimes allowed to flow over the surface of the ground and Is warmed several degrees before reaching the coolicg apparatus.During the summer water from a stor- uge tank above ground is usually much warmer than that drawn directly from the well.It is best, therefore, to arrange the cooling system so that the water which flows through the surface cooler or cooling tank comes dli- rectly from the well or, If from a spring, it is conveyed In a pipe well below the surface of the ground.If ice is used in a cooling tank the quantity of water surrounding the cans should be as small as possible to glve satisfactory results.Space enough should be provided between the sides jot the tank and the cans of milk to allow for a sufficient quantity of ice and water to cool the milk properly.If a large volume of water has to be cooled much more ice will be neces- wary.If it is deslred to cool milk quickly from an Initial temperature of nbout 85 degrees F.to one of 50 de- PAID FOR HIS FUN Prank of Baby Elephant Brought Retribution.Her Patience Exhausted, Mother Administered a Spanking That Brought Tears in Bucketfuls From Her Offspring.In a recent exchange it is stated that elephants are amazingly llke human beings {n the way they discipline their young.The following amusing Incident was seen by a traveler In an extensive lumber yard In Burma.While the adult elephants were faithfully at work the youngsters played about the yard.The elephant that attracted the traveler's particular attention was hauling, In her chain harness.a huge tree trunk from the bunk of the river.She had a heavy load, a fact that her offspring did not reallze.Bent on playing, a prank, he wound his little trunk about one of the chain traces and pulled back with all his strength.Conscious of the suddenly Increased weight, the mother looked around.She saw the youngster and shook her head solemnly, but paying no further heed to his teasing, bent again to her work.Meanwhile the little rascal, with his mischievous trunk had loosened the ring that fastened the traces to the load.While the mother was stralning to get her burden in motion agaln, her rascally son pulled so sturdily that she was quite unaware that she had been disconnected from her load.Then suddenly the youngster let go.Naturally enough, the mother was thrown to her knees and her driver hurled in a wide circle from her back.The culprit sought a huge woodpile that seemed to offer him at least a temporary protection.His mother, however, was soon In pursult, and he had to flee.Round and round the woodpile he dodged, but his mother, with her tron harness clanking noisily behind her, kept close at his heels.Although the little one's greater agility gained some space for him at the corners, his mother eventnally over took him.The first blow of her trunk drew from him a bawl of pain.At the second he sank, quite humbled to his knees; and then he endured without a murmur, although with many tears, & sound thrashing.Finally the mother let him up.With tears still streaming and with drooping trunk he took his disconsolate way out of the yard.The little fellow had won the complete sympathy of the observer.Consequently he was overjoyed to witness during the noon hour a touching rec- oncillation.The mother did all she could to comfort the penitent little sinner; she caressed him with her trunk, cuddled him up against her, and looked at him as if to say: \u201cYou still have à mother who loves you.\u201d He Was Starting Young.\u201cYou fill the pails with sand, and let me turn them out,\u201d suggested eix- year-old Jack to little Doris as they \u2018 | played on the beach.An Inexpensive Concrete Tank.Ice-Water grees F.by setting the cans In a tank of ice water, the ice water in the tank should have : temperature of about 97 degrees F.Under these conditions about four gallons of water will suffice for each gallon of milk.In order to cool and hold milk at low temperatures on the average farm a properly constructed cooling tank 1s necessary.In fact most dairy farms have some sort of tank In which water or water nnd ice are used to cool and store milk.When an abundant supply of cold-running water continually passes through the tank it 1s unnecessary to go to the expense of Insulation.MAKE AND USE STERILIZER Necessary for Production of Dairy Products of High Quality-\u2014Steam Is Recommended.(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Sterilization of dalry utensils is necessary for the production of dairy products of high quality, particularly _ilk and cream, because the washing of dalry utensils, at least by the process generally used, 1s not sufficient to insure freedom from Infection and contamination.Steam Is necessary to Kill the disease germs and harmful bacteria that lurk in milk cans, buckets and other such equipment used wherever milk is produced.Dalry utensils on small farms are not often sterilired efficlently because steam is not available.The United States department of agriculture has devised a simple and Inexpensive, yet efficient, steam sterilizer which can be provided at such a small cost as to justify its use on any farm from which milk or cream 1s sold.The additional keeping quality which the sterilization of uten- sis will give milk and cream probably will pay for the cost of the aterll- tzer In one season.Full particulars on how to make and use this device are described in Farmers\u2019 Bulletin 748, a copy of which can be had, so long ag the supply lasts, on application to the United States Department of Ag- His playmate obediently complied.\u201cNow we'll bulld a castle, and you shall fetch the water to go round it,\u201d exclaimed Jack.Dutifully the little maid struggled up find down the beach, carrying buckets of water.\u201cCan't you fetch the water now, Jack,\u201d she suggested, \u201cand let me pour !t round?\u201d \u201cGirls can't do that properly,\u201d answered the boy.\u201cLet's paddle.But, I say, Doris, do you want to marry me when you grow up?\u201d \u201cYes\u2014oh, yes!\u201d Doris was delighted at the prospect.The boy, however, assumed a bored air, and lazlly extended his feet toward her.\u201cVery well then,\u201d he said nonchalantly.\u201cIf you're going to be my wife, take off my shoes and stockings!\u201d\u2014 Pearson's Weekly.Early \u201cDomestic Problem.\u201d \u2018The one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the Massachusetts Char- {table Fire society, recently observed in Boston, looks back to a time In that city when it was considered desirable that \u201cservants be obliged to go to bed before the householder, and not be permitted to carry a lighted candle to a bedroom in the garret.\u2019 The recommendation was made at one of the so- clety's earliest meetings, but seems not to have been carried Into effect;

the average for 1917 was $1.37 a ton.These averages reflect the dominance In the total lode production of the large tonnage produced from the low- grade ores of the Juneau district.Absence Sometimes Evidence of Tact.Sometimes it's an evidence of tact when people absent themselves.Only big people can do it.Chlldrén and ehildish adults have to hang around with open mouths and staring eyes lest something escape them.They are the omnipresent nuisances that make you want to tell them things.Really big people can afford to let others do a few things without permission.What others do oftight not to detract vitally from what you do unless what you attempt is so small that it takes little to overshadow it, Besides it's only fair that others should have an opportunity of showing what they can do.The world will think more of you if you give It a chance to pass judgment on its efforts.\\And what Is more mere obstruction won't stop things anyway.The best way to make things popular is to furnish sufficlent unjust opposition.The persecution occasioned makes friends for the other side.=\u2014Bxchange.Newspaper Printed In 1788.A rare copy of a newspaper has come Into the possession of the Colum- bla university library, Dr.Carpenter, acting librarian, announced, in the purchase of a copy of the Pennsylvania Packet and Dally Advertiser for April 14, 1788, from W.F.Smith of Philadelphia.The paper, which was published by John Dunlap and David C.Claypool in Philadelphia, is four pages in size, contains about two columns of news and the balance is filled by commercial advertising.Of particular interest is a brief account of the Co- lumbla college commencement of 1788.The first name on the list of candidates awagded the master of arts degree is Alexander Hamilton, and De Witt Clinton holds the same position among the receivers of bachelor of arts diplomas, Garden Stuff, \u201cDid your garden win any prizes fast summer?\u201d \u201cIndirectly, yes.My neighbor's chickens took first prise at the poultry show.\"\u2014London Blighty.MAGLOIRE EMOND Auctioneer Bales conducted in both English and French, Cen ae, ab rs e e, or à - dense, Railroad strect.\u2018 Grocery & Hardware Store We have opened a new cash store on the Corner of Main and Junction Street.Give us a call;
