The local boards of assessors are
approaching more and more in their
values that which is placed by the
state board" said James Plummer.
yesterday. They have come nearer
this year. than ever before. This
shows that the local boards are doing
more work in getting at the valua-
tions Of the property in their towns
"A comparatively few years ago
when the State board was created the
local boards We're in the habit of rat
ing the property at about tWo-thirds
of its real value. Some even went so far
as to place the value at but half Of what
il would bring if sold under ordinary
conditions. The local boards could do
this as there was nothing in the
statutes to indicate otherwise. There
was. therefore, wide discrepancy be
tween the value placed by the local
boards and that placed by the State
board, for the law says that the State
board must value the property at
what it would bring if sold under
ordinary conditions. The local boards
finding that their valuations had no in
| huence on that placed by the State
| board began to make changes in their
returns and now make their Valua-
| tons more like those of the State
| board.
NO. | cannot see that it makes any
great change in the local tax rates.
| With the same amount of property to
b. taxed and a higher valuation placed
on ii it would seem natural that since
the same amount of money is to be
raised the rate would be lower but the
tendency is for the towns to spend
more money ana as more is expended
for improvements there is but little
change in the rate.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
The I75th Meeting OF This Conference
Was Largely Attended.

The 10th meeting of the Cumberland
conference Of Congregational churches
was held yesterday in the st. Lawrence
church. AT the three sessions, morning,
afternoon and evening, there was large
attendance, the handsome church being
well filed at each session. The morn
ing service began with a devotional SER
vice conducted by the retiring moderator,
Rev. George W. Reynolds. DIR. Jenkins
was then chosen moderator for the ses-
sion and the conference then proceeded
to transact some routine business. The
first topic for discussion was, "Are our
present methods OF church work accom-
pills hing the desired endsf" Rev. DIR.
Fem was the first speaker and took the
view that the work of the church Is not
adequate TO the situation. The church
Is not seeking the salvation of men rs it's
supreme object. Dr. Fem deprecated the
church machinery which consumed
more power than 1t returned In the re-
suits secured. He referred to many
churches which have all they can DO to
live, let alone accomplishing any outside
results. He spoke OF the need OF personal
work outside of the church and extolle
the idea of the minister as pastor as well
as preacher.
Rev. John R. Boardman, the next
speaker. emphasized the difficulty OF stat
ing definite standards OF success. The
present standard on which the work
OF tine church 10 based, that of crowds at
the prayer meetings and at revivals
might or might not indicate strength.
The present conditions and methods are
vital and TO quite degree successful.
He advocated greater attention to evange.
listic work and the virtue of personal
Christian life. The topic was discussed
by DIR. Baker, Rev. g. q. Wilson, Rev.
MIR. Southworth and the moderator.
The afternoon session found another
large gathering Of whom large mum.

was led by Rev. e. II. Newcomb. II
was voted to hold the next conference
meeting on fourth Wednesday In Jan.

afternoon was "Ths mid-week service

FOOD SAVES.
Doctor Knew the Value of Grape-Nuts.

A breakfast food that baby can
handle is pretty safe proposition for
grown people with weak stomachs. DR..
VIM. Hall, 1856 state street, Boston, has
tried Grape Nuts food in his own Ease, as
a result Of which he says: 81 have been
relieved from the distressing form of in
digestion caused by the non assimilation
of starchy foods, and since making Grape
Nuts part of my dietary scale. have
had no trouble and find my power of
concentration markedly increased.
II havs frequently prescribed Grape
Nuts food in my practice, with most ex-
cellent results. The notes OF one case 1

the weekly prayer service and took the
ground that 10 was OF vital importance
for the welfare OF the church to have
large attendance at thass meetings.
Rev. A. II. Wright, Rev. John n. Board
man and several others discussed this
subject, Mr.. Bosrdman stating that he
knew OF one church at least. that OF
which he was the pastor, where the atten-
dance at the prayer service was large
and that q large per centage OF those who
attended 1t were business men who in 9
great measure conducted the services.
Rev. Dr. jenkins said that two con-
ferences In Massachusetts, which he had
canvassed showed that only 10 per cent
OF the communicates OF the churches
attended the weekly prayer service. He
contrasted the conditions In Massachu-
sets with those In Maine and said that
the problem OF how to make these week
~ prayer services successful was driving
half the ministers in New England ON
the road TO the mad house. The question
was what to do. The speaker said that
he had no solution to offer for the prob
lem. 1t did not necessarily follow, how
ever that small attendance at the prayer
meeting represented the active strength OF
the church for he knew of many which
were tower OF strength where the
weekly service was not largely attended.
The next topic was 1.-The religious Gull
ture Of the young" Rev. s. N. Adams
discussed the question as to whether new
catecheticai methods were needful, ane
Rev. Israel Jordan spoke upon what
agencies for instr ucting the young are
the most valuable. This was followed
by a general discussion and afterwards
the Lords Supper was administered. At
30 O'Clock collation. was served In the
vestry OF the church and in the evening
the devotional service was led by the
church choir. The address of the eve-
ming was by Rev. Dr. Jenkins. on the
subject Of "Hearers for Preachers

teresting ever held and the subjects pre-
sented were freely discussed BY both the
clergy and the laity.

The farmer was the first producer,
and he is likely to be the last. Before
there were towns and cities, before
there were manufactures, the farmer
was earning his own living by the
sweat Of his brow, and depended on
nothing whatever but the labor Of his
hands. II all the cities Of the world,
all the ships of the sea all the art.
cries of commerce, all the channels oil
trade, all the manufactures and in.
dnstries were to perish from the earth,
the farmer would be able to maintain
himself, and would gradually produce,
az he has already produced, the wealth
necessary to recreate them. By means
Of the products Of his toll, the cities
and towns would be rebuilt, the chan.
neIs OF trade would be restored, and
after o time things would be as they
had been.
