Old Home Week.

Acting under the advice of the secre-
tary ofthestate association for the observ-
ance OF "old home week" the Board of
Trade directors met on Thursday even
ing and decided to call a mass meeting
OF the citizens of St Johusbury in the
Armory on Thursday evening, May 2, at
O'Clock. At this time steps will be
taken to organize local organization
so that St. Johnsbury may properly OBJ
serve the week. St. Albans and Rutland
have already formed such associations,
Burlington organized one last evening
and Bradford has invited Capt. Clark of
the Oregon to come back to his native
town and be their especial guest on that
week. The meeting ought to appeal to
every citizen of St. Johnsbury and we
look for large and enthusiastic gather
ing.
Considerable interest in this celebra-
ton has already been aroused among
Vermonters residing in other states,
especially among members of the YER
mont Association in Boston, Providence,
New York, Brooklyn, Washington, Buff
falo, Chicago, Minneapolis, st. Paul and
San Francisco. The officers of the YER
mont Association in Boston are favor
ably considering proposition looking
to visit to Vermont in a body during
the week of August 16, the dates for the
celebration being from August II to II.
The members of the association and their
families number about 400. They ex-
pect to travel in special train through
the state and by boat through Lake
Champlain the early part of that week
and at the end of the trip the members
will go to the towns where they were
born to attend the local celebrations.
At least 10000 copies of the governors
proclamation inviting Vermonters resi-
dent in other states to return to the land
of their nativity during that week should
be sent out.
There is now over three months i'll
which to make arrangements for a cele-
bration and while the time is short
enough so that public interest should not
flag, it is none too long for necessary
plans to be formed and carried out.

continental lines, decided to build new
steel elevator at West Superior, Wis.
Every part of its construction is of steel
and it has storage capacity of 8 3,200,-
600 bushels. 1t stands between the lake
and siding of the Great Northern rail-
way, and it was necessary to have a
track scale on the siding and IS hopper
scales in the elevator to weigh the grain
before it was loaded into the boats.
The st. Paul house secured the order for
a Fairbanks track scale and shipped one
in the night to West Superiors 1t took
just II hours to set this great scale in
the track. The scale is known at the
factory as 40 foot platform, with
capacity Of 60 tons. The Fairbanks
people were then asked to bid on l 8 hop
per scales, each with capacity of 1OO,-
600 pounds. They were underbid by
rival firm, the Standard company of
Pennsylvania, who sell scales at any price
to secure market. The Pennsylvania
firm filled the order in due time, and the
state inspector Of weights and measures
came to examine the scales. Readers of
the CALIFORNIAN will remember that
about two months ago an illustrated
article appeared in these columns fully
describing the workings of elevator
scales, and the responsible and arduous
duties of the inspector. The government
official gave the Standard scales a severe
test and condemned the whole lot, as
they did not weigh accurately, and were
too lightly constructed for their place.
A serious problem now confronted the
Great Northern people. Navigai ion
was soon to open on the great lakes, car.
loads of grain were being loaded into the
new elevator, but no wheat could be

Observance of Pre-MemoriaI Day.

The laws of Vermont require that "the
last half day IS session of the public schools
before Memorial day shall be devoted to
exercises commemorative of the history
of this nation during the war of the Re-
bellion and to patriotic instruction in the
principles of liberty and the equal rights
of man." Teachers and school officers
are reminded of the near approach of
Pre-Memorial day, and urged to begin
early arrangements for its appropriate
observance. In the fitting commemora-
ton of heroic lives and in the worthy
consideration of noble thought, this day
offers an invaluable opportunity to en-
kindle high and patriotic sentiments in
the hearts of our children and to con-
tribute potent influence for better citi-
zenship. The state superintendent of
education will soon issue circular with
suggestions for the observance of this
day. The union of schools in such OBJ
servance is heartily commended.

TOnight's Band Concert.

Sousa and his band give their grand
concert in the Howe Opera House this
evening. The program is a most salts
factory blend of the popular and classi-
cal music and the audience are assured
OF large instalment of the most inspir-
ing music Of modern times-the famous
Sousa marches. The concert will begin
at $50 to accommodate people coming
in the special trains and those in town
who may attend weekly prayer meetings.
There was big rush for seats last
Thursday and there were so in line when
the office was opened. Bat as the seat
ing capacity of the house has been en-
larged there are still good seats obtain
able and the box office will be open at 2
O'Clock this afternoon to accommodate
late comers.

A BIG SCALE ORDER. aIg
E. s T. Fairbanks & Co. Make Eigh-
teen Hopper Scales in as many
Days to Replace Condemned
Scales of a Rival Firm.

The CALIFORNIAN of April II gave a
brief account of the rush order for hop
per scales that was being filled at the
factory and marked copy was sent to
the manager of the st. Paul house, where
the order originated, In acknowledging
the receipt of the paper he expressed his
pleasure at the article, saving at will
let your townspeople and readers of the
CALIFORNIAN know what a splendidly
equipped plant they have, and it is not
appreciated as it should be-" The order
for the scales was one of the largest ever
received for grain scales and one of the
quickest ever turned out at the shops.
The following clipping from the Min
neapolis Journal shows how this order
came to be filled:
