In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas.
ured largely by its purity; the re-
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-
nently as a perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment Of these laws as it
could possibly be is Quaker Oats;
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest OF
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company
is the only manufacturer of oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem of removing the husks and black
specks which are so annoying when
other brands are eaten. If you are
convenient to the store buy the reg
ular size packages; if not near the
store, buy the large size family pack

Oxford County Notes.
Maine Farmer.)

1
| A trip made last week in Oxford Coun
ty by representative of the Farmer re
vealed conditions encouraging 10 many
respects and different from those il
some other sections of the state. A
great many of the farmers have harvest
ed more hay than in recent years. Corr
of course was at that time much retard
ed by the prolonged drouth, but pota.
toes had come along finely, and grain!
were promising we'll everywhere in tina
section.
The crops Of Western Maine are very
badly devastated by the green worms
which are so prevalent In many sections
of the state, and in some places they
have made inroads in some of the apple
orchards. The damage done to the or
chards by them, however, is nothing
compared with that done by the fall web
worm. The ravages of this pest art
much more extensive than ever seen by
us before, in many cases the fruit crop
of small orchards being absolutely ruin
ed by their work. Almost every orchard
is more or less afflicted, and 1t is surpris
ing that farmers in Oxford County have
not taken steps earlier to protect them.
selves from this menace. 1t is said that
early in morning or late at dusk, il is a
comparatively easy matter, when the
webs are small, to eradicate these worms
by burning, but If neglected, as is the
case in the section mentioned, their
work soon covers entire trees.
Farm stock was sold off quite heavily
last year, and much hay was bought in
the late spring months, coming from the
West. This year there is every prospect
that large amount will be shipped
along the Grand Trunk road from this
section, as the larger crop and smaller
herds will give a surplus. Apples are
not promising extra well, very light
crop being expected, although in some
places individual orchards have heavy
crops. However, farmers are quite con-
tented in that portion of Maine, as show
ers have been more prevalent than in the
central parts, and the drouth has been
less severe

West Paris.

Many relatives and friends In this
place were surprised and shocked to
learn of the sudden death Thursday
evening, Sept. 16, Of Mrs. Hannah EN-
mons Benson, wife Of Rev. Seth Benson,
OF this place. Mrs. Benson had been
i'll but three or four days and hardly any
one knew that her sickness was serious
until her death was announced. What
at first appeared to be a cold, developed
into double pneumonia and resulted
fatally in very short time. Mrs. Ben
son was about 20 years old, and an
estimable and highly respected lady and
her family and friends will deeply feel
her loss. She was the daughter of Jacob
and Sarah Shepherd Emmons, formerly
of Biddeford, later of Greenwood. The
funeral was held Sunday morning at
1890 o'clock at the Free Baptist church,
with Rev. L. W. Raymond officiating.
Mr.. David Emmons went last Tuesday
to the Central Maine General Hospital
at Lewiston. On Wednesday he under
went a surgical operation which is re-
ported to be very favorable In results.
Mrs. Charles Aldrich and Mrs. Eugene
Hammond are both in poor health.
Miss Florence Richardson and gentle
man friend visited last week at D. C..
Churcbill's.
S. T. White has purchased the stand
of Mrs. Josephine Bates and Mr.. and
Mrs. White will move in the last of this
month. The house is opposite the resi-
dence of Mrs. Elva E. Locke and is in a
pleasant location, and will make very
desirable home for our druggist and
wife. Mrs. Bates will live with her SOD,
Charles Fl. Bates.
Miss Bertha A. Emmons has been al
home from Portland for few days with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. I. F. Emmons.
Corn shop started up last week but the
run promised to be far short of the aver.
age.
Mr.. Charles Tucker of Colebrook, N
H., visited his daughter, Mrs. S. T
White, a couple of days last week.

Green wood.

"History repeats ITSELF" but with
more or less variation as every one who
keeps an eye out to the daily happen
ings must have noticed. To illustrate
briefly and TO the point. A little more
than year ago we visited at West Paris,
and while there Rev. Seth Benson drove
us out to South Woodstock for the pur-
pose of calling on the undertakers and
celebrated cssket manufacturers, |. W.
Andrews & Sons, where a fine dinner
and first class visit were eDjoyed. Be-
fore returning home Frank Willis gave
us an auto ride to Trap Corner and back
being the first "horseless carriage" our
companion was ever in.
Last week We repeated the visit to
West Paris by invitation, we're taken to
South Woodstock in the same manner
as before to visit the same persons;
found them all in good health, so that in
fact our visit of last year was duplicated
almost to perfection with this difference,
| that we were given an auto ride of three
miles while there by Mr.. Andrews son
who knew his business and was mast or
of the situation. On leaving the place
it was agreed that the proper thing
would be for us three, who were in the
seventies to meet there again some time
next summer, providing the angel OF
death keeps at proper distance.
Two weeks ago some one made the
guess that the corn factory would get up
steam about the 18th and it did so on
the 18th. That is what might be called
pretty good guessing.
There has been no frost about here
since the last morning in August, and so
that much of the yellow corn is ripe and
the husks have lost their grip.
A recent mail brought us two letters,
one from D. o. Davis, Osakis, MINI
who states that he and his daughter are
well, that the past season has been so
favorable that the greatest crop of corn
has been raised there he ever saw after
living there nearly forty years.
The other is from Barry Macnutt,
South Bethlehem, Pa, who wishes to
get further information regarding the
coloring of that glass mug, and also
| wants a specimen of the soil and spring
water where the vessel hung, probably
for the purpose of finding out, if posi-
BILE, how the color got into the glass and
where it came from, The earth, water
and information will be sent as desired
with request to report results.
The other evening Floyd Morgan's
team and D. L. Peabody's came in col
lision near the foot of Patch Mountain,
throwing the latter to the ground, who
was somewhat injured, but not seriously.
1t was so dark that neither one saw the
other until too late to turn out.
There is good reason to suppose that
Stanton Cole was pleased when informed
that his wife had presented him with a
l0-pound girl baby, since the other two
are boys.
Looked on death again last Sunday.
Deceased was Washington A. Billings Of
North Woodstock.
