Newmarket ADVERTISER
If ANXIOUS to help your friends
And to help yourself as well.
If you want success in yonr business,
Here's plan may work the spell:
Spend your money in YOU own town.
Not permit it abroad to roam,
For the dollar that may come back
your way
Is the dollar that 3taJs at home.
Who plants nearby soil
A part of the harvest reaps,
But the seed wind sown that afar is
blown,
Is out of your reach for keeps.
Apply the lessons to wealth
And get it under your dome
That the dollar which may come back
your way
Is that dollar that stays at home.
You are paid some time, some place,
In the coin on the things you do.
You are mart of the hire. If the others
thrive
The honey is shared by you.
You get as you give; that's the law.
The rest is but sound and foam.
The dollar that may come back your
way
Is the dollar that stays at home.
When Va" trade with the man next
door
You give lift to the general thrift
Or the merchant around the square
And may hope for your ultimate
share.
IT'S a wisdom that's learned from life
And requires no scholarly tome
That the dollar which may come back
your way
Is the dollar that stays at home.

ISLANDS OF IVORY.
Some of the Secret Riches OF tue PO-
lar Seas Described.
(London Daily MaiD

Uondon Daily MaiD
Islands of ivory hidden amops the
Arctic ice lying north of Siberia, were
described in an extraordinary inter-
esting paper read before the Victoria
Institute by the Rev. P. d. Gath Whit
ley.
These islands were discovered by
Russian explorers at the end OF the
plotted by traders in fossil ivory ever
since AS recently as 1898 some 10000
pounds of fossil ivory were offered
for sale at the fair of Yakutsk. To. the
earlier explorers it seemed that one
islet known as Liakoff's Island was
actually composed of the bones and
by icy sand. The horns of buffaloes,
Cor rather musk oxenj and rhinoce-
roses were also wonderfully abund-
ant. The sand yshores and slopes
were full of mammoth tusks.'
In 1856 a German, Dr. Bunge, visit
ed Liakoff's Island. The sand and
gravel were found to rest in blocks of
ice, and the alluvial beds were full of
the bones of mammoths, rhinoceros-
es and musk oxen"-this after a nun
dred years of visits from ivory nun
tiers. Trawling showed that the pot
tom of the sea near the island ere
strewn with tusks and bones.
These extraordinary discoveri IS re
explained by the lecturer by the fol-
lowing theory. In prehistoric times,
sill forest and vegetation, Siberia en-
joyed comparatively mild climate,
and great tract of country, now I'M
der ice stood at a considerable level
above the sea. Vast herds of man.
moths, rhinoceroses, and buffalos
roamed over the plains. A great cat
land subsidized the sea rose, and the
animals congregated in enormous
numbers on the mountain tops. Even
those We're at last submerged, and the
destruction was complete, After a
time the waters subsidized slowly and
the islands. which had formed noun
tains in the land, rose above the sea.
Why the climate changed after these
upheavals is still a problem to be
ssolved.

Herbert S. Durham of North Ben
nington, a life long resident of that
section, dropped dead Monday after
noon while at work in his woodlot
off the east road near the SALISBURY
line. In company with his son Jesse
he went to the lot earlier in the day
to get out some logs. Apparently he
suddenly became i'll as he called to
his son, who was some distance away.
Before the latter reached him, how
ever, he was unconscious and all eff
forts on the part of his son to re-
store him were futile. 1t is suppos-
ed that he died instantly He had
been in his usual good health and
his death came without warning. The
selectmen of the town of SALISBURY
were notified and in the evening the
body was removed to his home on
the White Creek road in North Ben
nington by an undertaken. Mr.. Dun
ham was born in this town so years
ago and was son of Mr.. and Mrs
Dewey Durham. He lived In tina,
vicinity all his life and was highly re-
spected among a large circle OF ac'
quaintances and friends.

made by Paul Wolleschlegger of Pow

blood and trampled snow which he
followed several hundred yards up the
hillside and into the woods. The
HEADQUARTERS of the animal had been
removed, apparently cut away with
a sharp knife. The skin had been re-
moved but was left and it was appar-

Growth of the Service

The number of petitions FOR rural
delivery service filed during the past
fiscal year aggregated 1876, a de-
crease of 6SS from the previous year.
OF the petitions filed 2,10S have been
accepted for investigation and S61 are
still under consideration.
On June 80. 1909, the service was
in operation on 4O,62S routes, and
40.499 carriers were employed On
667 routes the service was triweekly
an increase of eight as compared with
the previous year,
During the year 1,415 new routes
were established; routes discon-
tinued. leaving the net increase in
the number of routes in operation !
35l. The number of new routes estab-
lished is 257 less than were estab-
lished during the previous fiscal year.

Road Improvement.

There has been unprecedented i'm.
provement of the condition of roads
traversed by rural carriers, due to the
intelligent and well-directed interest
of postmasters and carriers. Essential
factors in the value of rural delivery
as postal facility are speed and reg
ularity, and the attainment of a sat
isfactory standard in these particu
lars is absolutely dependent on i'm
proved roads.
The department does not call for
expensive road Improvement, but
merely for wise and practicable use
