than this Introductory piece could have

tales Of mems service Of God. honor and

the author portrays for us still other

A PUBLIC BENEFIT.
Middlebury People Greatly inter
ested in the Offer of SheIdons
Oruq Store

The people have already demonstrated
that they would rather trust man who
is naturally honest than one who is hon
est only because he had to be.
Sheldon's Drug Store has a firmly es.
tabished reputation for square dealing
and sterling honesty. When they told
the people that Rexal Repedies are the
purest and most dependable medicine
that it is possible for modern science to
produce. and that they will tell the pub
lie what each one of these 300 or more
remedies contained, and that they sold
Rexall Remedies on their personal guar
antee that it would give entire salts
faction or they would not cost the user a
single cent they were believed.
Eve since this announcement Shell
don's Drug Store has been largely pat
rogized by people buying Rexall Beme-
dies, all of which proves that this store
has the confidence of the people and that
honesty is the best policy.
There IS no "cure-all among the Rexall
L medieH there are different and sep
crate medicines, each one devised for a
ments closely allied. For instance Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets are recommended
for the positive relief Of stomach irrita-
ton, indigostior fatulency and dyspep-
STA. They are rich in Bismouth- Sub.
nitrat Pepsln and .arminatives. They
are prepared by special processes which
perfect aud enhance the great remedial
value OF these well-known medicinal
agents. This remedy sells for 25 cents,
80 cents, and s. 90 per package Every
one suffering from stomach disorder
should try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, in
asmuch as they cost nothing if they do
not satisfy.
Remember Sheidon's Drug Store is the
only store in NiddleblTy where these
remedies may be obtained, and every
one in need OF medicine is urged to in
vestigate and take advantage of the frank
ard generous manner in which they are
sold.

county legislation by the board of SUI
pervisors so far as it affects the farm
ers' interests. The executive commit
tee will consist of the chairman, secre-
tary and three other members appoint
ed by the chairman. The good work
done by the Chautauqua county grange
legislative committee is an example to
other county oranges. If Pomona
oranges in other counties would organ
ize such a legislative committee the in
fluence would enhance the farmers
benefits greatly. For the information
of others we give below the bylaws of

committee:

THE OLD AND THE NEW.
Farmers Must Cooperate If They
Would Succeed.


The hardest rub for the farmers Of
today, says j. L. Bennett of Piscata-
quis Pomona grange, Maine, is that
they are sending a good portion of
their money to the west for -four and
feed If the farmer is going into the
dairy business he ought to raise his
feed, the most of it, in order to make
his business pay. Our taxes are high.
and we must live. The potato crop is
all that has saved us. Many of the
farmers could not have paid their bills
without them. | can see only one way
for the farmers to better their condi-
ton and that is to cooperate. The
oranges must combine and work for
the benefit of the whole. If the farm
ers must have so much feed from the
west, combine and send for it by the
carload. 1t will pay. 1t has been
tried. They have organized in WOrces-
ter county, Mass. and sent out west
and bought their feed by the carload,
and they also sent to Kansas and
bought carload of flour and saved
the grangers "A dollar on barrel On
the whole they saved the Patrons over
81 600 in six months. Patrons have
been practicing cooperation at Houl-
ton, the largest grange in the state, for
a number of years with perfect salts
faction. Cooperation and associations
are the needs of the hour.

Hit Father with Axe.

Nelson Bonner, who lives on a farm
about two miles from Morrisville. was
struck over the head with an axe by his
thirteen-year-old son, Charles, Monday
afternoon. The boy struck his father to
save his mother from what was appar-

he was attacked by his sons. Willie, the

the younger boy struck him across the
forehead with the back of an axe, the
blow crushing the skull.
Monday afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Bon
ner went to Morrisvile to negotiate the
purchase of a farm. While there Bonner
secured liquor and when the time came
to return to the farm the man was badly
intoxicated. AS the couple drove into
the yard of their home, Bonner jumped
from the wagon and tried to seize his
wife, who had become frightened and
jumped to the ground and started to
run. Bonner chased his wife around the
house several times before catching her
and he was evidently crazed with anger
as, after having beaten her severely, he
drew the knife.
Their mothers cries for help had
brought the boys into the yard and the
woman cried to Charles to hit his father
with club. Meanwhile Willie had in
