approach shouting, which causes
the diaphragm in the transmirter to

Pronounce your words distinctly

"Desk sets" are sometimes uncon-

which the instrument works best is
fixed by the thumb screw at the top

framework when it is in use and
will gain resonance if it is so placed.

The summer school for teachers,
under the management of the state
board of education, opened here
Tuesday morning, with about thirty
teachers present. This is a consid-
cradle increase over the attendance
last year and the school thus opens
quite encouragingly. The indoor
sessions are held at the Floral hall
on the fair ground, and nearby a
number of tents are occupied by the
teachers, others having rooms in the
village. The days work includes
bird study, botany and forestry un-

Culture, of New York city; practical

The Hyde Park Savings Bank.

The press of the state are saying
some very kind things about the
Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co.
The fact that it has never lost a
dollar by poor note and that all of
its money is kept in Vermont, seems
to be the keyno to most OF these
editorial notices.
The Banks assets passed the mil
lion-dollar mark July nth.
The motto of the bank, ''Vermont
money for Vermonters to foster Yer,
mont industries and to develop VsV.
mont enterprises" is a slogan which
seems at this time to be especially
popular in the Green Mountain
State.

time last summer in Woodstock and
vicinity on the State Typographical
Survey. He was an able young man,
universal favorite, and had won
high honors in college. While sail
ing with his friend, j F. Morrison
of Medford, Mass, he was caught in
terrible squaH, which cansized the
boat when the boys were within five
minutes of safe harbor which they
were trying to make. The boat
quickly sank and the boys were I'M
doubtedly drowned at once. Their
continued absence caused a search to
be made, which was continued for
nearly two weeks, and was directed
by Professor Lee and his brother,
Frederic S. Lee of Woodstock. The
revenue cutter, Woodbury., was de-
tailed by the treasury department at
Washington to assist, and number
of other boats were employed. A
clue was at last obtained, which led
to the discovery Of the sloop at the
bottom of the ocean off Small Point.
By the aid of diver the boat which
lies in IS feet of water, was fully
identified as the missing boat. Its
position and the set of it's sails told
the story of the fight that the boys
were making for life when the squall,
the severity of which was unpreci-
dented for this season, overlook them.
The bodies of the boys probably lie
on the bottom in the vicinity and
probably will ultimately be washed
ashore. A daily patrol of the beaches
for many miles has been established.
Professor Lee is widely known in
Maine, and sympathy for him and his
wife in their loss is universal.
Arthur B. Stockbridge, aged 81
years, 'celloist of the Woodstock Inn

had never seen. The bride was Miss
Flora Weise, pretty young woman
of Tazewell county.
The groom wrote to his aunt here,

make him good wife, as he was lone
ly on his ranch in Colorado. Mrs.
Patterson recommended Miss Weise,
neighbours daughter, and correspond

The girl was taken with the ro-

satisfactory a proposal quickly fol-
lowed. An acceptance was written
and then Kramer came east to claim
his bride. The marriage was cele-
brated the day after his arrival and

TAKE THEM OUT

When a student begins to break
down from lack of the right kind of
food, there are only two things to do;
either take him out of school or feed
him properly on food that will rebuild
the brain and nerve cells. That food
is Grape-Nuts.

saying: "A short time ago ! got into

be highly appreciated by those who
suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one.

in most cases a permanent cure is the

This simple recipe is said to strength

and strain from the blood and system
the poisons, acids and waste matter,
which cause not only Rheumatism, but
numerous other diseases. Every man

who suffers from any urinary trouble

much good, and may save you from

BIRDS TRAVEL ALONG ROUTES.
All Have Not Same Ranse-swallows'
Great Distance.

The routes by which birds pass to
and from one country to another In
spring and autumn are regularly fol.
lowed. One great thoroughfare, of
course, is in the spring from south to
north, and conversely in the autumn
from north to south; another Is south
east to northwest; third southwest
to northeast, with the return into the
same starting points, says the Scot
man.
The great southern wintering region
Is south of the north of Africa and
extends to far beyond the equator,
and from 1t, under the breeding in
stinct in spring. birds hurry away to
dispense themselves over the wide
spreading palaearctic or northern
lands, which extend as far, in the
case of some species, as a long way
within the arctic circle. South Of the
equator during the northern winter
the migrants fly toward the south pole
TO breed. The seasonal range limit
OF some of the northern breeding
birds is enormous-several extending
from Patagonia to Greenland.
All migratory birds have not the
same range; some fly longer, some
shorter, distances. The best known
OF all the birds. of passage, the swal-
low has one of the longest ranges
from 1000 to 10000 miles. In this
extended range are also included such
birds as the gray plover, the knot, the
pectoral and curlew sandpipers and
the Asiatic golden plover.
The longer range-from 5000 to
1000 miles-includes such well-known
birds as the cuckoo, the corncrake.
the sedge warbler, the greenshank;
the moderate range-from 5000 to
5000 miles-embraces the turtle dove,
the crane, lapwing, mallard and jack
snipe; the third range-from 1000 to
1000 miles-such birds as the wood
chat shrike, the stone curlew, the
woodcock and black Tern and in what
is called the restricted area--with a
mileage Of 1000 miles downward
there are the waxwings, several gulls
and the elder duck.
