had endeavored to make during his address
| that it is up to the board of trade or com
mercial club of every community to spread
the gospel.
Mayor E. j. Waterman was introduced
as heading what has been generally under
stood to be an "anti-board of trade" board
of bailiffs. Mr.. Waterman took the oppor-
tunity to, explain that there ought, not to
exist such misrepresentation upon the part
of the board of trade or upon the part of
any citizen. In clinching his statements
to the effect that he and his colleagues on
the municipal government were not
"antis," he said Eve are with you abso-
lutely, until next May, for bigger and
better Brattleboro" The mayor explained
why he put time limit in his statement
by saying that this was an official state
ment and the term of office Of the present
board of bailiffs expires in May.
Mason s. Stone, state superintendent of
education, alluded briefly to the wonderful
opportunities that await Vermont when
she shall have made thorough effort to
realize upon the wonderful natural assets
with which the state is endowed. He said
that the great enterprises of the country
are sure to seek coal and water power.
Though Mr.. Stone is not an orator he was
vivid in comparing the wonderful scenery
of Switzerland, eastern Asia and even the
mountain region with the beauty spots of
Vermont. He said he had visited every
hotel in Vermont and he pointed out the
need and the demand for more hotels of the
superb type where tourists can get what
they are willing to pay for.
l.. f. Adams moved vote OF thanks to
Mr.. Bosworth, which was given him. Pres
ident Cowles then asked all who favored
the new hotel project to arise, and every

Bad Fire in Marshfield.

For the third time in recent years
Marshfield was visited Saturday morning
by destructive fire which started in the
rear of the residence of George Ormsbee,
and before it was under control had de-
stroyed the Knights of Pythias hall, the
telephone exchange and other smaller
buildings, causing total loss of about
$4,000. The Congregational church took
fire several times. but was saved by siren
uous work of the fire fighters. Marshfeld
has no fire apparatus, but a bucket bri-
gade did effective work. The Cabot fire
department responded and rendered valu
able assistance
The fire broke out shortly before day
light and at one time it looked as though
the entire village would be wiped out.
Assistance was asked from Montpelier,
and the fire department there loaded a
hand engine on freight car, but before
the special train which had been made up
left the station word was sent that the
fire was under control. The loss on the
burned buildings Is partially covered by
insurance in the Vermont Mutual and
the Union Mutual Fire Insurance compa-
MES.

The Ideal Poultry House.

The ideal poultry house is difficult to de
scribe. There seems to be nothing about
the poultry business in regard to whicf
there is wider difference of opinion than
on this point. 1t seems to be the general
opinion that the type of house is not very
important so long as it is dry, well venti
lated. and the fowls have plenty of the
proper kind of food Food is the essential
thing, and of course certain foods are much
better than others. A. NJ. Brown of North
Rochester, Mass. gives his opinion on
this particular point in the following let
ter. He says: IL have fed nearly all the
poultry foods ON the market. but not with
returns as Pages Perfected Poultry Food
gives. My hens have an average of so per
cent to their credit. Last winter it was
80 per cent. | know this food is the best
on the market"
If you want to know more about this
food and the best ways of using it. write
to c. s. Page, HYDE Park, VT, for his
booklet, Profitable Poultry" 1t will be
sent free, postpaid, to anyone mentioning
this paper.

The trip from FL Paso, Tex. to Chi
huahua is most interesting and plctur-
esque, the road running in valley sur

with snow-capped submits. We passed
through one ranch, owned by General Ter
razas, 100 miles square, maintaining, | un-
derstand, over 100000 head of livestock
and employing about 1000 ranchmen. Chi
huahua is a most delightful city, rich and
prosperous, has good hotels, clubs, banks,
churches. and public buildings. 1t has
an excellent trolley line, good sewerage,
and lighting systems. The climate is fine
with cool nights and warm, sunny days.
The altitude is about 1900 feet. There are
absolutely no drunken men in the streets:
Every time the cathedral clock chimes all
of the policemen blow a chime whistle to
indicate the time of day All of the mines
about here are paying big returns and there
are many beautiful residences costing over
SlO0.OOO to construct. The sunsets and
sunrise are simply magnificent. Everyone
rises early as the working day begins at
O'Clock a. m. There is two-hour rest
at noon. There are about 10000 people
here, of which number 1000 are Americans.

look out for their patrons interests
The local agents say they are now taking
active measures, belated as they seem to
be, toward securing for Brattleboro the
privilege which other places are known to

owners of mercantile real estate will be
able to get their insurance something like
40 Der cent cheaper

President Taft is back in Washington

Ovation To Prince Ito.

Seoul, Thursday. July 1.-The fare well visit of Prince Ito to this country which has been his especial charge for the last two years, and during which time he might easily have been called the uncrowned monarch of Corea, has been one long ovation. Along the route to Seoul crowds gathered at the wayside stations, Coreans coming in from distant points among the hills to see for the last time the man who has held their destinies in his hand, and who they now feel is responsible for what improvement there has been in the affairs of the Cerean people. The entertainments lasted for a week, and when Prince Ito left Corea from Chemulpo on a warship, the farewell was enthusiastic, thousands of people lining the hills on the shores of tho bay until the vessel had passed com- pletely out of sight.

INGENIOUS FRENCH DEVICE.
Letters Are Registered by Use of Slot
 Machine.

Paris Saturday. July 31.-The French government has just introduced into use an ingenious automatic device for reg istering letters. The letter is dropped into box and a nickel piece, purchable for cents, placed in the slot A crank is turned, numbered receipt is dropped out and the corresponding number is stamped upon the letter The ingenious feature of the machine Is the device for preventing the use of any except the nickel coin. This is accomplished by means of mag net which attracts only iron and nickel the latter very feebly. The attraction of the nickel is neatly calculated and as the coin falls the attraction is just suf- ficient to retard it and make it fall into the pocket which operfEes the mechanism An iron piece on the other hand, would be strongly attracted, miss the pocket and be elected All other coins are also elected

Special Services at NJ. E.
Church.

For two weeks past series of Cos
pei Meetings have been held in the
local Methodist church. While they
have not been so largely attended as
was desired and expected, much good
has been done in an intensifying of
the religious life of the community.
The conduct of the services is in the
hands of DR.. A. w. Luce. of Michi-
gan, who belongs to family of dis
tinguished preachers. He is one of
four brothers, all of whom are in the
Methodist ministry. The oldest is
pastor of the First Methodist church
of Cleveland, Ohio, one of the rich
est and most influential churches on
the continent; a second brother is
pastor in Des Moines, Iowa: a third
is DISTRICT Supt. of Occur d'Alene
District Idaho; while the member of
the family now in Pullman is devot-
ing his life to evangelitsic work.
DR.. Luce is man of distinguished
SNNAAhb dild AJDTlSIldn
gentleman. He speaks in musical
voice, with strong emphasis, but in
persuasive rather than denunciating
tones. In his religious views he be-
longs to the old School of thought.

spiritual uplift of the community.
