Change in Business Firm

A long established business partner
ship was severed last Saturday night
when O. E. Luce retired from the firm of
Miles, Mcmahon & Co., of which he had
been member for % years. His interest
is taken by Harold Mcmahon, who has
been " learning the ropes" since his
graduation from the business department
of Goddard Seminary year ago. OF the
other members of the firm, c. L Mcmahon
has been connected with the business for
SO years and j M Miles for 30 years, thus
making it one of the oldest business es
adjustments in the county. Mr.. Luce
does not contemplate entering active
business again, but as he has large farm
on his hands, will doubtless be able to
keep busy. In addition to his other
duties Mr.. Luce served as town treasurer
q years besides holding other offices of
trust and responsibility. May an abun-
dance of success attend the new firm.

you have not enough money to buy
many fowls buy only pair and ge
the best you can and remember fur
Their that next years produce may moi
even be as good as those you start
with. 1t takes years of experience tc
master the art of raising fine poultry
and it is only after we have success
fully studied the problem well that we
can successfully mate our fowls year
after year and show constant i'm
provement at the end of each season.
Begin in small way and study every
point and avoid the mistakes that we
once made. Don't expect 500 worth
of poultry to bring you an income suf-
ficient for your family. No investment
will do that.-Farner.
