House Monday evening. There was an
attendance of about 90. Only one mem

time a banquet was held, followed by a
smoke talk and discussion of subjects
pertaining to automobile interests. The
principal item of business was to endorse

seeks to secure a government appropria-
tion for the improvement of highways in
the different states, provided the states
will appropriate like amount. The
record of the action of the club will he

BELLOWS FALLS.
casein Company Stronger Than Ever
Before.

An item appeared in the local paper
at Fellows Fails yesterday, headed "Resg-
nations at the Casein," which contains
a sentence or two which some of the Of
tica,s of the company think may pos
sibly be wrongly interpreted Gushing
Adams, II. II. Church, A. D. Charles and
John Regnier. all connected with the local
Office of The Casein Company of America,
have resigned. 1t was reported that Mar
Gus Allen, the Chicago representative of
the company, had also resigned, but Mr.
Alien, who is now in Bellows Falls says
he has not resigned, and is thoroughly
satisfied with the company's movements.
The item in the local paper intimated that
there We're rumors of contemplated re-
organization. p. ]. Wurts, who is now
acting manager in place of Gushing
Adams, resigned, states that such rumors,
if they eXstt are the result of deliberate
and malicious falsehood. for no re-organ-
iZation is or has been contemplated The
several designations cause temporary in
convenience, but Mr.. Wurts thinks that
the company will go on as heretofore and
be stronger than ever by reason of the
changes which have been made necessary.

today lives twice as long as his grand
father, and that the ratio is steadily in
creasing. The cause of this increase of
