Conservation
The Personal Application

While the public mind is
teeming with the popular
theme of Conservation,
don't let us forget that this
subject has a personal appli-
cation, upon which, afterall,
depends the material sue
cess of every individual.
The farmer who plows his
field and waits to harrow it
until moisture has evapor-
ated which would equal sew
eral inches of priceless rain
FALL has saved neither time
nor effort by his delay, but
has lost a goodly share of his
seasons reward, which he
might easily have conserved
To attempt to carry on a
business, either agricultural,
mercantile or manufacture
ing, without focusing upon
ones efforts the light of the
experience of others who
have made good in similar
work, is to condemn ones
self to one of unrequited
toll. u.s..
Conservation means much
to all of us. Itmeans doing
better with our time, and
crowding more energy into
our activities. The taking
up our task with intelligence
and xest and laying it down
we'll done.
1t means laying aside Just lit
tie of the fruits Of each days toll,
that q future day may not be rob-
bed Of Its rightful share. 1t means
constant effort to excel, aided by
whatever outside agencies are
available. .,,..
Conservation means saving a
mile, . dime or q minute when
ever one can.
It means making Eve stalks of
grain grow whore two grew be-
iore.

ON the Winchester farm which has been
purchased by the trustees as a site for the
institution. For some time the trustees
considered seriously locating the building
upon the height Of the moving land to
the southwest of the Winchester house on
Maple street but it has been practically
decided to bpild the first building on the
first rise of land to the southwest Of the
house and a short distance below the site
first considered. It is the intention of the
trustees to erect building upon the op-
posite side of the hill for mentally de-
fectiye children. The first building will be
for deaf, dumb and blind children, and
the trustees will have plans made for q
building to accommodate % children and
the necessary attendants, teachers and
other employees of the institution. The
trustees will decide within few weeks
concerning the general plan of the build
ing and the architects will have the plans
ready for bids early the coming spring.

GRANGE STORE TRANSFORMED.
Abbott 4 Son Have Modern Establish
ment-Opening Wednesday.

The old Grange store on Elliot street,
which RECENTLY passed into the hands
Of q. o. Abbott 4 Son, has been trans.
formed by carpenters, painters, and
other mechanics into decidedly mod.
ernestablishment Steel ceilings increase
the efficiency of the electric lights. NO
end of modern equipment IN the shape
of counters. plate glass show eases,
shelving, etc.. has been installed. AS
the new owners plan to sell meat ana
provisions in addition to a line OF sta-
pie groceries refrigerating system mas
been installed by The New England
Refrigerating Co. Of Concord, n. Il. =.
Hall, the company's representative IN
charge of the work, says that the plant
placed in the Abbott store is second to
none in New England. The system
consists Of series of pipes, approx
mating 240 feet in length, through
which ammoniated brine is pumped.
This system of refrigeration, which is
located in meat counter with 2 glass
front, insures temperature 30 degrees
less than the temperature of the store.
These meat eases are 80 feet long with
a compartment for butter, cheese and
eggs. An electric machine for the
manufacture of Hamburg steak is
modern piece Of machinery in this thor
oughly modern establishment. The re-
frigerator in which the supply of meats
will be kept is situated at the rear OF
the store and is % feet long by 3 feet
hioh. The latest devices and construc-
tion for the retention of chilled air in
and about the refrigerator are en-
ployed.
The refrigerating apparatus IS locatt-
ed in the cellar, and consists of tank
holding 5000 gallons of brine. The APP
paratus is of sufficient capacity to turn
out four tons Of ice daily. A 10 horse
power electric motor is used in operat-
ing this part Of the refrigerating plant,
and two ~ horsepower motors are
used to operate the pumps which send
the brine through the coils Of piping
upstairs. An elaborate thermostatic
apparatus automatically operates the
system and maintains an even tempera.
ture in the meat cases. =,
The new store was thronged with
visitors Wednesday afternoon and
evening when the formal opening of the
establishment under the new proprie-
tors took place. While many of the
visitors were purchasers, probably the
majority attended the onening to see
the modern equipment. The clerks ex-
planned the operation of the refrigerat-
ing plant to scores Of people during the
opening.

pervising architect that the founda.
lions will be completed before the

ON BALBOA MOUNTAIN.
Local Young Man Writes Of Seeing
Both Oceans from One Point

Walter F. Henkel, superintendent Of
traffic Of the Panama Telephone com,
pany, with headquarters at Empire, Canal
Zone, in a letter written Jan. 49, tells Of
an interesting pedestrian trip which he
made recently. His description OF the
event is az follows: -Four Of us, three Of
the Marine boys from Camp Elliot and
myself, walked to the top OF Balboa
mountain. This mountain is where Bal.
boa discovered the Pacific ocean. We left
Camp Elliot in light marching order with
haversacks full Of food and canteens ful!
Of water, and walked to Matachin and
from Matachin to Gorgona and then struck
of through the mountain trail for Balboa
mountain. First we crossed a good sized
hill and then forded brook. knee deep,
climbed a small mountain and then went
straight up for 1880 feet. We had to
carry machetes to cut our way through
the brush. We arrived at the top OF the
mountain at noon. Here they have built
a small wooden tower some p feet high.
l climbed the flagpole and unfurled the
stars and stripes from the highest noun
tain in Panama and could see the Pacific
ocean, some IS miles away, and the At
lantic some IS miles away.
II guess I'm the only Vermonter to
ever see both the Pacific and Atlantic
oceans at the same time like this. we
found shady place, as the sun regis
tered about 125 degrees, and started to
eat everything we had. We carried can
ned Holsters, oysters, sardines. crackers,
pickles, canned peaches, strawberries, dev-
lied ham, cookies and cake. About this
time our water supply gave out and we
had to hunt for water. We found spring
Of fresh water on the other side OF the
mountain where we bathed and filed our
canteens. We found numerous small huts
and Indian families and met quite few
Indians on the trail. These people have g
language Of their own and are Of small
stature. They wear little clothing and
the women smoke their pipes and carry
their babies strapped to their backs. At
one place we met quite number Of these
natives who had small ponies loaded with
bananas and other native vegetables going
to Gorgona. We started back at 3 p. M,
and covered some Is miles. caught the
train for Empire at Bias Obispo, and didn't
need any sleeping powders. that. evening"
Mr.. Henkel expects to visit his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Henkel. early in
June, as he viii be entitled to six weeks
vacation the coming summer. having been
on the Canal Zone year. He went to
Panama as assistant manager OF the
Panama Telephone company for the city
of Panama and was promoted to the posi-
ton Of traffic manager few months ago.
