Camp Meeting Folks Waited.
 THE FALLS VILLAGE PHILOSOPHER. | If some of us had cent for every minute we've spent watching the trains whizz by and wishing they'd stop, we'd now have meat three times day even at trust prices.
 It doesn't follow that because a man stops at bank with an automobile that he's gone ill to deposit few ''cart wheels" Perhaps he's renewing one of the notes he gave when he bought the machine.
 l The fellow who condemns the auto- mobile forgets his antipathy when he's invited to ride.
 The man with the empty fish basket always goes home the back way. I I've always noticed that the best way to keep furniture from cracking is to have no heavy weight callers.
 Let's be optimistic. Lots of us have had garden truck and firewood that we wouldn't have had had they made use of the old canal.
 The stone bruise on a Falls Village boys foot don't limp half so much on the day of the ball game as 1t does when his mother is getting him ready for Sunday School.
 Have you ever noticed the religious awakening among Falls Village young sters just before the Sunday School picnic?
 PROSPECTIVE INDUSTRY.
 Representatives of the E. E. Dicken- son witch hazel company of Essex, Ct., have been spending several days pros pecting in Falls Village, Salisbury and the Cornwalls. They want location for a receiving plant where witch hazel wood is plenty and Falls Village fills tho bill. If they decide to locate plant, they will construct a building and equip it with steam en- zine and machine for chopping the wood into pieces not more than two inches long. Trees more than two inches ill diameter are not purchased. The chopped wood would be loaded into cars and taken to Essex, where there is pon- derous machinery for squeezing the juice from the wood. The Messrs. Dickinson also visited Salisbury and on Mt. Riga found witch hazel i'll large quantities. They contemplate also building receiv- ing station at Salisbury, but this will not be done until the Falls Village plant is built. On their prospecting tours they were accompanied by George w. Hall ot
 Falls Village as guide.

 every dollar of this years budget. GOOD WORK
