A POOR CROP.
CFredericksburg Free Lance.

The Washington Post is authority for
the statement that the amusing notice
published below was stuck up on his
land by a farmer in Illinois. whose
patience had been exhausted by the
horde of hunters who pursued his Molly
cotton tails and incidentally swarmed
over his land. After placing several
courteous placards in conspicuous posi-
tions to meet the eye of trespassing
sportsmen and finding that soft words.
no matter how effective in turning
away wrath, did not turn away poach-
ing sports, the old fellow waxed wrathy
over the smell of gunpowder and the
reverberations of small arms and deter
mined that the time had come for plain
language, unmistakable in its terms
and forcible in its warning. Here is
what replaced the ordinary ''please
don't hunt here" signs:
''Notis"
Trespasers will persekuted to the
full extent of 2 mean mungrel dorgs
which amt never been overly soshibul
W SIi auSSis, anu uuDDel Darl SnOt
gun which amt loaded with soft pillors
dam if amt gittin tired of this he
raising on my farm.
No man will dispute the fact that a
man who writes like that must have
just cause for anger. Land on which
nothing but hell is raised will not sup
port the owner or help the soil. That
| Illinois farmer went on that farm tc
farm and when it comes to raising he
doubtless has desire to do the raising
himself. We sympathize with him ir
his trials and we believe that significant
sign will go far towards alleviating his
sufferings.

Event In Manchester Center.

Bennington County is to have fair,
md ii will be held soon, too. Some
time ago st. Margarets Guild decided
Ia have such an occasion, and the
event will take place the night of Tues
day, November 9th, in the Union Opera
House.
The one act comedy, known as the
Bennington County Fair" was writ.
ten by Annie Sara Book, a West Vir.
gilman, who had made the drilling and
producing Of home talent plays spec.
ialty -thIs play has been her biggest
aud most successful. The plan aud
plot Is very simple-nothlng but a
county fair scene with all manner OF
people coming to enjoy the festivities
II the event Ii will be a real picture
OF the real old time county fair, with
displays innumerable of rich. yellow
pumpkins, big potatoes. immense
squashes, record breaking ears of vel.
low corn, red apples, aud maybe 81
Jones, of Squtdunk, will have some Of
those marvellous patch.qnlts there.
Yet the real interest is centered in the
dialogue Of the visitors at the fair and
in the musical numbers TO be pre-
scented.
As the scene opens the loud monthed
takers, lemonade man, side.sbow bar
ker aud the balloon man will almost
ieafen you with their mighty wells.
Then follows quick succession Of far.
mers, old maids. school boys, jockeys,
preachers, bride and groom. gold brick
men, city visitors "a conglomeration OF
the characters one can possibly ina
CINE at a county fair, each with an ap
propriate dialogue and conversation
Al Of this colloquy is OF the most
humorous nature aud has life and spirit
70 il that keeps the audience in con.
ttau, commissions
One d the big features ia the County
Fair Is the Teddy Bear chorus by a
large number Of girls between the ages
II three and nine years 1t is said 10
be one Of the pre,tiest aud cutest ever.
There will be another children's chorus
ind six young men and young ladies'
ehornses. All Of these are the latest,
eatebiesi song productions and are pre-
.ent,d 10 beautiful. attractive man-
ner.
The 81. Mangarei's Guild has APP
pointed the committees for the various
department Of the preliminary. The
bert talent u the town will participate
and their can be no doubt Of the fair

MRS CLEMENT H CONE
An Appreciation Written By a Life
Long Friend.

The ihrong Of friends who gathered
10 pay the last tribute Of respect h
this gentle little lady aud the wealth
oi flowers that surrounded her bear
eloquent testimony 10 the place she
held IN the hearts OF the eommuuity,
and so. although much has already
been written. We still love 10 recount
her virtues and would fain initiate her
example.
She was first Of all home keeper,
where everything was well ordered
and beautiful and where love was the
prevailing atmosphere. As wife, moth
n aud hostess she was indeed queen Of
her home. But was ever daughter
more devoted or sister more truei Nor
did her ministries stop with her kin
died. The various philanthropies Of
The town were sure of her support and
one Of her last Journeys waste attend
missionary meeting where her bright
face on the front seat, kindling with
sympathy over the recital of human
needs, was an inspiration TO those who
took par, in the addresses.
The ones who needed her were the
ones she was seeking, The sick, the
troubled, the unfortunate, found in her
n friend. Al the hospital, portions of
the fruit, the flowers, the delicacies
that loving hands showered upon her
were sent around by her direction TO
brighten many darkened room.
With serenity and fortitude she bore
the burden OF long illness and with
great uncertainty in her own mind of
recovery held trustfully her Sayiour's
hand. This was the keynote of her
beautiful life, her child like trust in
the Heavenly Fathers leading. 1t is
well illustrated in the verses found un
derscored in one OF her treasured books
Lord for tomorrow and ITS needs do not
pray
Keep me from stain Of sin lust for today,
Let me both diligently work ana duly pray |
Let me be- kind IN word and deed Just for
today.
Let me no wrong or idle word minimizing |
say,
l.et Thou seal upon my lips lust for tod y. I
SO for tomorrow and It, needs ! do n,t |
pray,
But keep me, guide me, hold me Lord Just
for today.
And so 'trustfu and trusty" AS her
pastor said Of her. She has been lifted
up from Gods good earth in its golden
October 10 higher service in a divinef
life. NJ. H. S., in Bennington Banner.

Want TO be strong?

Eat more Quaker Oats Eat it for
breakfast every day This advice is
coming from all sides as a result Of re-
cent experiments on foods to determine
which are the best for strength and en-
durance. 1t has been proved that eaters
OF Quaker Oats and such cereals are far
superior in strength and endurance to
those who rely upon the usual diet of
heavy, greasy foods.
When all is said and done on the
cereal food question, the fact remains
that for economy and for results in
health and strength, Quaker Oats stands
first of all, 1t is the most popular food
in the world among the foods sold in
packages.
All grccers carry Quaker Oats. 1t
sells at lOc for the regular size package,
