The Success of DIR. HOughtOn of Wester-
vile, Ohio.
The Columbus, Ohio, Despatch of Oct.
8, contains portrait of well-known ma
tive of Guilford, accompanied by the fol-
lowing sketch: "Among the men whose
enterprise and liberality have contributed
most largely to the present prosperity of
Westerville, DR.. F. II. Houghton occupies a
prominent place. He has made the growth
and improvement of the village common
with his individual interests, and has been
among the first to aid, both with purse and
influence, any project which had the ad-
vancement of Westerville for its end. He
is progressive in views and public-spirited
in action, and always has recognized that
the permanent prosperity of the town in
which he lives meant his own business
and financial advantage. 1t was in this
spirit that DR.. HoughtOn became one of the
original promoters of the Columbus Cen
trail railway, the completion of which has
made Westerville in fact what it long has
been in name, a suburb of the city. DR..
Houghton was born in Guilford, Vermont,
January IL, 1910, and was educated in the
university of West Brattleboro and West
minister, in his native state. He has been
a resident of Columbus and Westerville for
thirty years, and practices his profession OF
dentistry in this city, except during the
winter months, which he spends in Florida
He has gallant war record, having com
manded a battery of artillery for three
years during the rebellion and participated
in thirty battles. Personally, he is as
genial and companionable a gentleman as
one we'll could meet"
1t might be added to the above that DR.
Houghton began his education in the
Gregory schoolhouse in Guilford where
Col. Greenleaf, now of Rochester, N. Y.
and Judge j. NJ. Tyler began theirs few
years earlier.

EAST DOVER,
Death of Amos Allen.

In the death of Amos Allen the town
loses one of the oldest of its inhabitants.
Mr.. Allen was born in Newfane and with
the exception of his living few years in
Newfane and York state East Dover has
been his home for nearly 20 years. He
leaves an only daughter, Mrs. j. II. Met
calf who has always lived with her parents
and lovingly cared for them in their declin-
ing years. Mr.. Allen also leaves three
sisters and one brother in New York state.
The funeral was at his late home last
week Tuesday, Rev. G. S. Sherman offici-
ating; the burial was at the Dover town
cemetery. Mrs. Allen died few years
ago.
On account of the funeral of Mrs. Brown
there were no services at the Methodist
church last Sunday.
1t was shock to the people of this place
to hear of the sudden death of Mrs. Chas.
F. Brown of Brattleboro last week. Mr..
Brown and his family have the sympathy
of the people in this community in their
bereavement. Mr.. Brown had for several
years lived in this place before he was
married and for a. few years after his mar
riage, afterwards moving to Brattleboro.
They were liked by all who knew them.

TRELLISINd GRAPES.

Grapes trellising according to the
Munson system has proved 80 success
full at the Oklahoma Experiment
Station this y ear, that Professor Waugh
unhesitatingly recommends 1t for
adoption in general vinegar ling. Ac-
cording to this system, posts stand six
feet out of the ground. At the top a
crosspiece two teet long is nailed, and
at each end of this wire is run. A
third wire is run through the middles
of the posts eight inches below these
two, SO that the three wires set in a
sort OF V shape nearly six feet from the
ground. This great height is an es-
sential feature of the system, and
should not be modified. On this trel-
lis the grape vines spread out as they
do where they grow wild in the woods.
This furnishes shade for the fruit.
At the same time the fruit is so far
above ground as to be Rsafe from the
intense reflected rays of the sun, which
caused more damage in Oklahoma
vineyards the past season than all
other causes combined. The trellis
also has many other advantages and
only a few disadvantages. Farm,

The Queer Order a Woman Gave.

''Of all the queer persons OF this
queer world, the undertaken, l be-
lieve, meets his full quota" SO Re-
public reporter was told by man
wearing funeral expression on his
face and black gloves on his hands,
who came from small town in o
Western State to attend the meeting
of the Association of Undertakers.
"One of the queer persons is a
wealthy woman who lives in my town.
One day she came into my rooms, and,
as the tears coursed down her sad
face, she managed to tell me, between
sobs, that she wanted coffin that was
covered with royal purple velvet. l
knew that her husband had been ill
for some time and WAS not expected to
live, So 1 began to offer word of con-
dolence on account of his death, as
she and her husband were intimate
friends of mine.
"'Oh, he is not dead yet, sobbed
the woman, but want you to call at
the house and steal his m easure while
he is asleep. l want q royal purple
velvet coffin, and it may take you sew
eral days to fill the order.
''I assured the fearful woman that it
would perhaps be impossible to fill the
order, as ] had never heard of a coffin
of any such description ever having
been on the market. She went back
home, and while the order was hang
ing fire her husband began to grow
better, and in few days was entirely
out of danger. He afterward recov-
cred, and to-day he is strong, health
full man.
"But that woman still insists that l
shall fill the order for royal purple
velvet coffin for her husband, and,
furthermore, she has given me another
order for royal purple velvet coffin
for herself. On my present trip to
st. Louis, I called ut a Lang coffin fac
tory here, and surprised the proprie-
tors by leaving the special and unique
orders to be filed. When the orders
have been filled can't say whether or
not my queer customers will use the

ments to match the decorations in

THE KITCHEN TOWELS.

Housewives are sometimes debarred
from the use of crash for kitchen
towels by its cost, as we'll as by the
fact that it needs to be partly worn
before it makes really good towels.
Now that fashion sanctions the use Of
this very serviceable material for toilet
articles as we'll as aprons, it may be
economically used in that way first,
and then descend to the more utili-
tartan household uses. For instance,
your delicately checked linen crash
apron, when worn soft, will make the
best possible glass or dish towel, and
your toilet cover and pin-cushion
cover even, after having served their
apprenticeship in your room, may be
turned into roller towels and dish
cloths. Crash is very easily hem
stitched, and with this ornamentation
and the state of immaculate clcanli-
ness in which it is so easily kept, it
makes the most desirable of bureau
and table covers.

ECONOMY IN PLANTING.

In small fruit growing change OF
crops should take place without wait
ing year or two for tho plants to
grow. When my strawberry bed has
but one more year to grow I set in
the rows raspberries. The raspber-
ries are ready to bear as soon as the
strawberries are given up. No year
is lost. So in my raspberry gardens 1
plant pear trees, and expect them to
be in good bearing by the time the
berries are worn out. A red raspberry
plantation should be good for twelve
years or moro if properly cared for
and manured. The pears will by that
time be giving heavy crops. There is
such thing as alienation of crops
for fruit as we'll as grains and vegeta-
bles. Apples planted again in old
apple orchards do not thrive as we'll
as on fresh ground. American Agri-

HOW TO BOIL A PUDDING.

The most difficult way of cooking a
plum pudding is boiling it in cloth |;
q novice will be likely to spoil it un-
less the following directions are OBJ
served in every particular: To boil a
plum pudding successfully have q
large pot half full of actually boiling
water, with plate in the bottom to
keep the cloth from burning or stick
ing to the pot, and teakettleful of
boiling water to fill up The pot as the
water boils away; there must always
be enough water to float the pudding,
and it must boil without ceasing,
jumping" i'll the pot.
The cloth must be of linen towel
ing, about yard square, scalded by
dipping in boiling water and then
thickly busted with sifted -four; and
after the pudding has boiled steadily
for at least six hours it should be un-
rolled, laid upon suitable dish and
set in the oven to dry off while the
sauce is being made. Allowance must
be made for the swelling Of an ordin-
arily rich pudding, the cloth being
made about three-quarters full.

TIE Greater New York.

Some of the larger cities that are to
be distanced by Greater New York are
content to boast of their acreage. Chi
cago has the biggest municipal acre
age in the country, covering over 160
square miles, while New York covers
only about forty. Some idea of the
sardine civilization of New York can
be had by rejecting that it covers but
little more ground than Boston. What
is still moro astonishing is that when
the Greater New York comes to cover
318 square miles it will still be more
densely settled than Chicago. We
fancy Boston to be very crowded
city, with 1876 persons to. tho acre.
New York has over So persons to the
acre, and Chicago, with all her boast
ing, has but 1917 to the acre. If we
are to estimate population by the
acre it greatly disturbs all previous
calculations. When the greater me-
tsopolis is completed it will still have
more people to the acre than Londoa.

devouring the cabbsges. They do not
become as large as the common cab
bage worm. Fires kndled around and
among the cabbages will not only de-
stroy the new moth, but also the COM

when the sun shines, she is attracted
by the light and the warmth, of these
fires the same as by the sunlight. In

HOW TO HANDLE AND KEEP POTATOES

HOW TO HANDLE AND KEEP POTATOES.
Potatoes should be handled very
carefully, as they easily peel their
skins and bruise, when rot is certain
to onsue. Potatoes should be kept at
q temperature of from forty-fve to
fifty degrees in a moderately dry,
well-ventilated apartment, from which
light must be carefully excluded, else
the potatoes will develop strong,
rank taste.
They are bulky crop, and every
time they are handled unnecessarily
involves cost which materially re.
duces the profit. The earlier farmers
can sell the better, as keeping in win
ter involves further work and loss
from rot, while later on the weight
and value of the potatoes will be
greatly reduced by the growth of the
eyes. Judging by the present outlook,
it will pay every grower who has po-
tatoes to take the best care of them. -
