To prevent tent from leaking,
put one pound of paraffine in pan
and melt it on the stove. When
melted carry it outside and pour it
into one gallon of gasoline. Apply
the mixture to the tent with some
kind of sprinkler until the tent
looks went. An old fruit can with
a few small holes in the bottom
could sbe used for sprinkling by
wooden handle four
feet long so the top of the tent
can be reached. The tent must
be stretched or set up and the
made on warm, sunny
day or the paraffine will CONCEAL
before entering the fiber of the
goods. OF course the gasoline will
evaporate in short time, but it |
will leave the parafine in the
canvas and if the work is done
right the tent will not leak drop
This will not injure the canvas,
but will make it more lasting Do
not put any linseed oil on the tent
or it will rot the canvas. This
-ecipe is worth much money to
anyone living in tent.

The New Hampshire railroad
commission has just accomplished
something. 1t has ordered the
American Express company to re-
duce its charges for carrying small
packages within the state from %
cents to 10 cents, beginning June /,
A similar reduction of rates in
Vermont would be greatly appre-
ciated by the business interests
of the state and there is no doubt
that the express company could
afford to do it. The % cent charges
on a small package for a 10 to 20
mile haul is certainly eXorbitant.-
Mortified News.
If the express companies can do
it in New Hampshire, and there is
no doubt but that they can and
at a good profit, they ought to be
compelled to in Vermont. The
express companies do clean cash
business at eXorbitant prices and
should be compelled to reduce their
rates.

Uncle Sans Family

The Village Improvement society of
South SALISBURY Monday held the
annual celebration of the birth of the
nation. The first event of the day
was the floral display and parade of
horribles. A number of floats and
carriages decorated with originality
and skill drew the usual crowd of
spectators. A feature of the parade
which caused much amusement and
not little admiration was a company
of pretty misses who wore unique
headdresses much resembling a mod
ern merry widow" coal scuttles,
waste baskets, pans and tubs Hastily
decorated with vegetables. brushes,
sponges and feather busters.
After the disbanding of the parade,
the peg race came off as scheduled.
The contestants Harvesting their hor-
SEES at the sound of the revolver gal
loped around the square. Each of the
participants laid claim to the prize,
claiming That the others had broken
the rules by running the horses in
stead of trotting as required. The
prize was finally divided equally.
In the afternoon the attractions
proved to be numerous, the contests
which were up to date in an old fash
Toned way, took place on the Fur
mace grounds. The potato race was
won by NJ A. Pleasant. Clifford
Hawkins finished first in the hundred
yard dash. w. r. Wilkinson wac al
so finished first in the peg race cap
tured another prize in the wheelbar-

a baseball suit succeeded in capturing
the creased pig by falling on it. In
the tub race which the crowd failed
to witness Edward Collins bore off
the crown of laurel.
A baseball game between the Y. NJ.
C.. A. team of Bennington and the
South SALISBURY Eagles occupied the
spectators attention for the remain
der of the afternoon. the final score
being II to in favor of the Eagles.
Bennington's failure seemed due to
the poor work of the battery, Nevis
and Deane, who had an "off day"
The day was a success In every way
