Families going to the canal zone
seem TO be well cared for. Beginning
with the middle of last August the
commission made new furniture al

For families of employees receiving
less than 500 per month: One range,
one double bed, two pillows. two kitch
en- chairs, six dining chairs. one chiffo-
nier two center tables, one mosquito
bar. one refrigerator, one double mat

For employees receiving S4OO per

dining chairs, one chiffonier, one towel
rack one parlor desk, two parlor
chairs. one porch swing. one serving
table. one dresser, one bedroom mat
one parlor wicker rocker. one Morris
chair and one porch double seat.
Bed mattresses and mosquito bars
In excess of this allowance are author
ized to families with children.
There's q chance for the ice trust
down on the isthmus apparently
While the ice and cold storage plant at
Cristobai is modern in every particu-
lar. it seems that it will have to be
enlarged to care for the constantly in
creasing business. The plant is turn
ing out forty-nine tons day.
There is nothing the matter with the
bakery. however. That has capacity
of 10000 one pound loaves a day and
is called upon to turn out only 1900.
Bread. tee. meat, vegetables and all
the rest OF the necessaries are carried
down the line daily in train Of If
teen cars.
A cause for congratulation is found
in the fact that less quinine was dis
Densed in the canal zone during the
month of July last than in any previ-
GUS month in the present year. Only
33.15 pounds were used during that
month. whereas In January there were
1920 pounds issued and in May
452 10 pounds.
The fact that mosquitoes are active
is chronicled strange to say, In the
ship news. There it is reported that
on July / the good ship Haakon VII.
arrived from New Orleans with 1,19O
barrels of mosquito oil on board. Where
most of this is used is not stated.

Farmeuter Of Berkeley, Cal. has erect.
ed wireless pole on the site for the
new town hail of San Francisco and
is experimenting with a scheme to call
policemen from their beats by wireless,
says a San Francisco dispatch to the

A simple apparatus of compact form
which policemen will carry in their
helmets is the means by which be
hopes 10 revolutionize the police and
fire alarm systems.
The chief of police turns on the cur
rent, and wireless impulses are sent
out in all directions. The invisible
current comes into contact with the
coil in the patrolman's hat and rings a
bell in his pocket The message Is
sent in the form OF dots and dashes.
Though policeman may not under

Admiral Walker devoted more time
10 canal matters than 10 fashion plates
and could hardly be called spick and

Galena Well Out Of IL.

The electric light plant Of Galena.

$4,000. Ii was sold the other day
for $4,000 but this price included a

tract the city will get practically twice
the amount of street lighting that was
furnished by the municipal plant at
only 10 per cent greater cost The sale
met with the unanimous approval Of
the mayor and city council, as the

Where Employees Stick.

Commenting upon the item published
last week that Caleb Marshall had
rounded out nearly 60 years of faithful
service at the scale works the Burlington
News says:
Employees stick" at the Fairbanks
scale shops, and nature apparently helps
along by frightening their lives in order
to prolong the record.
The veteran employee is Col. Francis
Walker, who has served the Fairbanks
concern, in the foundry department, CT
years. Next to him comes Caleb H
Marshall, who is resigning this week at
the age of 80, after service of SO years
The third veteran is Jerome Lamere
who has so years to his credit.
Such records as these are certainly
creditable to the employees and honor
able to the employers, speaking eloquent
ly Of tair and just treatment.

son was enjoyed by large company Of
ladies and gentlemen at Pythian hall

dent, Mrs. P. F Hazen, who, IN her cor
dial manner. welcomed the guests of the
evening and gave brief history OF the
Club from its formation and told how it
had gained in numbers and had put forth
every effort to assist in the welfare of the
town. Miss Luvia E. Mann of Woods
vile as reader and Miss Adine d. Hale of
! Wells River soloist delighted their audi
ence. Miss Mann is at home on the
stage and her selections showed that she
is leader in this profession, every one of
her numbers receiving hearty applause.
Miss Hale won many admirers with her
rich contralto voice and unassuming
manner. Her selections were well cho-
sen and were much enjoyed by her hear
ers Miss Hale was accompanied by B.
Frank Harris.
Miss Isabel Paddock, who gave a diff
fcult piano solo, is always listened to
with great pleasure and it was a disap-
pointment that she did not respond to
an encore This is the first time St.
Iohnsbury audience has heard Miss
Mann, and she and Miss Hale will be
sure to receive a hearty welcome when
they come to st. Johnsbury again. The
