Bradford Vernon
There is a movement on foot t.
solidify the town spirit into a work
ing force through the agency of {
general woman's club. Other towns
have pro6ted greatly by the wolE
of a union club, which works for al
the interest of the town, and Brad
ford is going to feel the effects OF
our new Club, if the women will take
an interest and help push it while il
is getting started. Such Club ii
bound to provide work for every
body, as the different departments
as time goes on, will take care of the
many vailed interests of all the
women. Beside the material
advantages, there is a social side OF
the Club and the unifying power OF
the organization. We do not say
that Bradford is different from
other New England towns, but it
has been the tendency to separate
into small clubs with a certain
amount of division being NANTES
ted. With one Club, we may all
belong to it and foster the get to-
gether spirit.
O. L. Martin, Commissioner of
Agriculture, is conducting farmers
Institutes about the state; this week
having spent several days in our
county. He brings a good group OF
speakers, who are competent to
instruct farmers on live topics of
present day agriculture. These
meetings will result in good as some
of the farmers will put into practise,
at least one thing which is brought
them in this way. We have a
thoroughly live man in this import
ant position, and he is putting real
work into his office.
The death of John W. Bourlet,
after a long illness, at his home in
Concord, N. H., Jan. 18th will
bring a sense of loss to Odd Fellows
all over the land, who have been
interested in his work as the pub
Usher of the Popular Odd Fellow.
He has been a prominent Odd Eel
low for many years and has done
much to strengthen the Order by
his work as an officer and by his
pen.
Miss Marjorie Gould is going to
marry an American, Anthony J.
DreXell, of Philadelphia. Miss
Gould could have had a tit'e, if the
Dukes and Princes and things hau
convinced her that that was all that
required of an husband. Miss
Gould undoubtedly has seen too
much of it among her set to pine for
for that kind of a marriage.
We are all discussing the cost of
living, and we agree only upon one
point and that is that it is high and
going higher. Some say one thing
causes it, and others say other
things cause it; but the high co t of
living must eliminate the waste,
which has been proverbial about
American kitchens, if pater families
is going to be able to pay the bills.
The new chief forester Graves
believes in the sane scheme of
