Reorganization, $4,000, 900
Capital Perfected-But-
teyworth President.
UNIQUE M WORLD TRADE
None of Factories Taken Over Have
Been Business Rivals Here
tofore.

Reorganization of Deere & Co.,
with a capitalization of 5O.O0O,000
was completed yesterday afternoon.
Directors, officers and an executive
committee of seven members were
elected The following statement is
given out by William Butterworth.
president of the company:
The reorganization is unique in
the implement world. because IL
brings together six non-competing
manufacturing companies and %
selling organizations. No one of
these companies has been compel
itor of any other, nor do the prod
ucts of any factory compete with the
products of any other. The com
bfned output OF all these factories
has been heretofore sold to the same
selling organizations and none of the
factories was rivals of Deere & Co.
An the implement and wagon trade.
It will thus be seen that the new
company is in no sense a trust nor
a combination of rival concerns.
Deere & Co. was originally incor-
porated for a term of so years. and
piration of its charter, IL was nee
essary TO make this provision for a
continuation of its business.

ganization are:

ers of plows; Deere & Mansur COM

The Tour of a Smile.

Ny papa smiled this morning when
He came downstairs, you see,
At mamma: and when he smiled then
She turned and smiled at me:
And when she smiled at Inc | went
And smiled at Mary Ann
Out in the kitchen and she lent
1t to a hired man.
So then he smiled at some one whom
He saw when going by,
Who also smiled and ere he knew
Had wrinkles in his eye,
So he went to his office then
And smiled right at his clerk,
Who put some more ink on the pen
And smiled back from his work.
So when his clerk went home he smiled
Right at his wife, and she
Smiled over at their little child
As happy as could be:
And then their little child she took
The smile to school, and when
She smiled at teacher from her book
Teacher smiled back again.
And then the teacher passed on one
To little James Mcbride,
Who couldn't get his lesson done
No matter how he tried;
And Jamsey took it home and told
How teacher smiled at him
When he was tired, and didn't scold
But said Don't worry, Jim.
And when / happened to be there
That very night at play,
His mother had smile TO spare
Which came across my way:
And then ! took it after awhile
Back home and mamma said
Here is that very sef-same smile
Come back with us to bed.

Vermont May Escape Locust.

Information given out by the bureau OF
entomology of the federal department of
agriculture is to the effect that brood OF
the periodical cicada, otherwise known as
the II year locust, will make its appearance
the coming season. The district or terri
tory most likely to be covered and devastat-
ed by the locust is that extending from
North Carolina over Virginia, to and IN
Guiding Connecticut and eastern New York
state. The predictions OF the bureau of
entomology are that the locusts will pene-
trate New York state as far north as the
upper half of Lake Champlan, but not in
so great numbers as further south. New
Jersey and Delaware are to swarm with the
pests and Connecticut will be well covered.
Massachusetts wholly escapes, but they
will come close to Bennington, Burlington
and st. Adams. The eastern hall OF the
state is in all likelihood to wholly escape
the visit of the locust, but there is grave
danger that it may cross the line at Ben.
nington, and the lake at Burlington and
st. Adams. The fact that the east side is
to be immune from the attacks of tins II
year nuisance, would seem to indicate that
the people in this section of the state are
