Free to Farmers.

To any Farmer who will write us,
mentioning this paper, we will send
free, postpaid, several formulas for
making first class fertilizer at
home, together with the cost of the
ingredients, directions Tor mixing,
etc,
The Vermont Experiment Station
in its bulletin No. no has the fol-
lowing to say with reference to the
value of home mixed fertilizers as
compared with the ordinary COM
mercial brands: son every account,
however, financial, educational, ag-
ricultural, it is better to buy the
crude stock and home mix if one
uses a ton or more"
Every np-to-date farmer should be
interested IN the subject OF home
mixed fertilizers and we are in posi-
ton to help them. Address,

COMMUNICATION.
Editor of the Age:
.,.~.'SI'IIOTIT.

Editor of the Age:
From a communication that APP
peared in the last issue Of your pa
per it would seem that some of our
citizens have the impression that the
design for a soldiers monument has
already been selected.
That the one appearing on the cir
culars sent out by the committee So
Letting aid is the one, is mistaken
idea. No design has been selected,
nor have the committee as yet had
any conference as to what the de-
sign should be.
The one appearing on the circu-
lars is practically copy of a monu-
ment erected at Gettysburg in honor
of Pennsylvania regiment. and has
been much admired by several who
have seen it in place. This design
shown on our circulars can be erect
ed for smaller sum than is asked
for by the committee and we are as
sured of artistic work in its finish.
However, it was only used to draw
out Just such expressions as appeared
in your paper, so that the final out
come, if any, would be acceptable to
the subscribers,
1t is the intention Of the commit
tee, as soon as they feel assured of
having the fund guaranteed, to call
for designs and proposals and to
submit the same to such of our citl-
zens as feel an interest in the matter
in order to get advice from those
who are better qualified to pass
Judgment than the committee feel
themselves to be.
We have reason to think that the
amount asked for will be ample to
erect such a monument as the town
will be pleased with. 1t is not in
tended, nor does Randall Post APP
prove of the expenditure of much
larger sum for this purpose.
1t is not the elaborate, costly mon
ument they ask for, but substan-
tial, suitable memorial.

Secretary for the Committee.

Mere Variations,

simpler technical terms applying to
feminine garb and few of the less
er intricacies of dressmaking Ian

''I think it's a shame for Nine.

Newhall on her return from din

"That's just the point" said Mrs.

1t was exactly the same gown, only
it was yellow instead Of pink and
chiffon instead of silk, and where

TRAGEDIES ON T0MBsT0NES.
English Churehyards and Their Craven
Charges of Murder.

In the churchyards Of Britain
several tombstones exist with the
accusations of murder deeply en-
grayed upon them. A stone over
me grave Of throo children in Mer-
rington (Durham) churchyard bears
lie following inscription:
ping we were slain,
4 here we sleep till we must rise again.
In Sandridge churchyard, Surrey,
on the tombstone of custom house
officer who was shot in an encounter
with smugglers is the following:
Thou shalt do no murder, nor shalt thou
steal,
Are the commands Jehovah did reveal.
or thy tremendous Maker, shot me dead.
On a stone in Cadoxton church
yard, Glamorganshire, is inscribed
the most fearful accusation of muir
der to be found on any tomb in
Great Britain:
TO RECORD MURDER.
This stone was erected over the body OF
Margaret Williams, aged twenty-slx, liv-
found dead with marks of violence upon
her in ditch on a marsh below this
churchyard on the morning OF Sunday
July IA, 1922.
Although the savage murderer escaped
for q season the detection Of man, yet
God hath set his mark upon him either for
time or eternity, and the cry of blood Will
assuredly pursue him to certain and ter
rlble but righteous judgment
A tombstone stood in Dulverton
churchyard a few years ago on
which was inscribed:
Poisoned by the doctor, neglected by the
nurse
The brother robbed the widow, which
made the matter worse.
An accusation of murder appears
on the tomb of Edwin, the Irish
comedian, who was buried in St.
Werburgh's churchyard, Dublin, and
also on tombs to be found in Acton
churchyard, Worcestershire; Hoo,
near Rochester; Little Stukeley and
Mytton, near Clitheroe, Lancashire.

A Keen Eyed Engineer.

An old engineer in the north Of
England was getting his sight test
ed by a doctor who lived in house
facing a large park. The doctor
used to say to his patients, "Look
over there and tell me what you can
8ee." When the engineer learned
that his sight was to be tested he
arranged with his son to take his
bicycle half mile into the park and
be oiling it. In due time the old
man was led to the window, the doc
tor saying, as usual:
"What do you see ?"
The old man, peering out, said, II
see young man stopping beside his
bicycle"
don't see anything at all"
Nonsense" said the engineer.
"Why, he is oiling it"
The doctor took up pair Of field
glasses and plainly saw the same.
Magnificent sightp he said.
The engineer is still drawing his
wages.-London Telegraph.

He Conquered Carlyle.

The Rev. Thomas Alexander, a
Presbyterian minister long resident
in Chelsea and well known as a
brother Scot, was most anxious to
know Carlyle, but had no opportuni-
ty of getting an introduction to him.
One day in the Kings road he saw
Carlyle coming in his direction and
took advantage of the opportunity
by going up to the sage and saying,
"Thomas Carlyle, I believe" Car
lyle's reply was, "Tom Alexander, l
know!" They became good friends,
and later Mr.. Alexander wrote to
Carlyle for a subscription toward a
school building fund, and Carlyle
wrote back refusal in doggerel,
whereupon Mr.. Alexander replied

THE CANADIAN.
He ls sturdler, Slower and Less NsrV-
Gus Than the American.

He Is Sturdier, Slower and Less NerV-
GUS Than the American.
Writing of the differences be-
tween Canadians and Americans, a
correspondent says: "The differ
ences are mostly Of degree. The
superb self confidence of the aver
age American woman as she walks
abroad, the licensed obtrusiveness Of
children, the perpetual degeneracy
of conversation into story telling
these characteristics are less marked
in Canada than in the United States,
In fact, Canada presents as yet a
sub-American variety Of civilization,
though in some ways rapidly assim-
Hating to the United States. Physic-
ally Cne Canadian seems to be a
sturdier stock of heavier build, slow
cr moving and less nervous than the
American. This is particularly APP
plicable to the women, whose move
'mcnts and conversation are quieter
and who are without the hunted
look in the eyes which marks so
many Americans.
at may be that the colder climate
exercises some modcrating influence,
but probably the chief explanation
Of these differences lies in the fact
that most Canadians are country
born and bred. There are few large
cities, and even the jewellers in these
cities keep up a most constant con-
tact with country life. Nowhere in
Canadian cities does one see the pro-
fusion Of luxury and waste visible in
New York or Chicago. Though
most persons seem to live in fair
comfort, there is no class of mil
honaires dominating society and
making the form and pace for
servile imitation among the less
wealthy classes.
Hunting and fishing, with their
Accomplishments of camping out,
play large part in the national
life, sport not having degenerated
into the merely gambling and spec
LaIo"'Hl habits. Altogether, the
Canadian lives a nealu4io. life Even
busy cities like Toronto and Mont
real conduct their business life more
quietly than cities Of corresponding
caliber in the United States. Chi

white River Junction politicians

ford over Colonel Haskins and G. A.
Prouty of Newport, when Haskins
received the nomination in 1902, and
he still retains his popularity. Gov.

Make tho Explanation.

Often bitter quarrels and IRENE
diable breaches occur between those
who really love one another because
Of mistake which might have been
easily explained to full satisfaction
but that the one who had taken of
Tense was too angry to listen to any
defense on the part Of the unwilling
offender. Not infrequently some
unlucliy impulse tempts a woman to
see how far she can try the patience
Of the man whom she loves with all
her heart. No end Of harm is done
by people who mean none. So she
goes beyond her tether, and before
She knows it the tightly strained
cord has snapped, says Woman's
Life. In conclusion, they who seek
peace should remember that it takes
two to quarrel and that "a soft an
swer turneth away wrath, but grieV-
GUS words stir up anger"
